It’s great to see that all my hard work exposing Beyonce as a fraud is finally paying off! Myra Panache had this to say about Hollywood producers giving a non-talent like Beyonce prime movie roles:
Beyonce being cast as Etta James in “Cadillac Records,” is a perfect example of musical success not transcending into “box office” success. The movie only grossed $3 million dollars. Beyonce also flopped in “The Fighting Temptations,” and she only scored success in “Dreamgirls,” because it was an ensemble cast.
I’m a Beyonce fan but I will be the first to admit, she can’t act and she has terrible diction. Why not cast a “real” African-American actress who has a drama background in this role?
There are so many excellent African-American actresses in Hollywood who could have done justice to the Etta James role yet Beyonce continues to be cast in plum film roles.
She doesn’t even think enough of the acting profession to take classes and learn how to act. Instead, ego and exposure seems to be driving her to land as many acting roles as she possibly can.
Singers, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross and Cher took the craft seriously and their hard work and diligence paid off with Oscar wins or Oscar nominations.
It’s inconceivable to wrap your mind around Beyonce’s upcoming portrayals of Eartha Kitt and “Wonder Woman.”
Usher was fresh off the success of “Confessions,” when he was cast in the film, “In The Mix,” it was a major flop.
Hopefully, Hollywood executives will begin to realize that these non-actors bring no credibility to the screen and they don’t generate box office dollars with their lack of talent. (Source)
I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Allow Beyonce to flood the Music industry. She is taking jobs from talented black actresses that can breathe life into the roles. Hollywood is obsessed with Beyonce and this proves. She can’t get the roles if they don’t give them to her. I’m all for giving roles like this to a critically aclaimed black woman.
They messed up their own money!
beyonce acting is horrible…i hope she stepped in up a tad bit in this new movie though…you can’t blame beyonce for not turning down roles, you have to blame these dumba$$ executives for casting her (and making her BELIEVE she can act)…
Beyonce post 13,321,650,567.9
kymn, you’re always a lil off…

You cant blame Bee for taking these roles, but at the same time she cant act and she wants to win an Oscar badder then Bobby Brown trying to score a record deal. But she is NOT going to win an oscar if she doesnt take acting classes. And personally I rather her flood the music industry then the film industry and let the REAL actors work.
Has any of the fam seen the movie yet?
sorry. i think i fainted due to the beyonce overload. i blacked out and hit my head on my keyboard…..whew.
auntie. you is killing me.
I haven’t seen the movie but I am going to. Word is…she stepped up her game for this. But, still.
Who would’ve been best for this role? Etta James said herself that she was pretty wild.
Beyonce’ should just stick to what she knows best.Acting is not her craft.
I agree Sandra,
I think you are wearing off on me!!!! After reading one of Beyonce latest comments on the Jackson’s
Taken from RWS….
“it bothers her when comparisons are made between her family and another rich and famous African-American family.
“I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didnt have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
I saw the movie and I thought she did good, she’s come a long way since Fighting Temptations. The movie was GREAT! I was really disappointed to hear it had such low ticket sales. It was a good story, I enjoyed Mos Def’s Chuck Berry. I didnt know CB was arrested at the height of his career for chasing after white women. I didnt know Muddy Waters was the one who started that style of blues singing, I woke up this morning (da nuna nuna) feeling low (du nuna nuna) something something (da nuna nuna nuna) yall know what I mean right.
That dayum Howlin Wolf was a scary looking mofo (I havent seen dude that played him since OZ) but somewhat of a wise businessman. Lil Walter, maaaaaannnnnnnn I think I liked him the best.
Etta James was like MJB singing sad my man left me, come back baby please type songs.
The movie was good, I highly recommend it. I’mma see it again.
@divine: most of those chicks are h0es in hollywood…i’m sure any of them would’ve been great for that role…j/k
seriously anyone w/ some good acting skills could’ve taken on tha role w/ no problem…
i haven’t seen the movie and personally isn’t interested in seeing it….whether bey is in it or if halle berry was playing the role….i still wouldn’t be interested in seeing it. i’ll catch it on bootleg or when it comes to cable next year!
first of all…sales and her acting dont go hand and hand…people dont know how she acted in the movie until the SEE the movie,so how would you know what kept people from seeing it…first of all the movie was not promoted so well,they just started promoting this film like 2 maybe 3 weeks ago,it should of popped off a long time ago,then bey was about the only person promoting it, and slightly columbus short,when adam brody should of took his white ass out there and got some promotion going cuz you know the white folks love them some adam brody…the movie was REALLY good it shed alot of light on the music industry then and how it was just as shady then as it is now and bey did a much much much better job this go around…actually she gets better with each film that she does…my problem is that she isnt leaving her comfort zone of singing in a film and its making it seem like thats all she is good for,she needs a film where she spends most of her time acting and having to really tap into some real skills…but trust and believe the movie was good and she did a great job.
mannnnnnn…why can’t there be actresses like Lonnette McKee that can play a singer and still act well? yA’LL KNOW Sister and the Sister’s were the illest!
My friend bought me Sparkle for my birthday on DVD and I ALMOST LOST MY MIND!
I was born around that time and my momma was gonna name me Sparkle. ROTFLMAO!
sparkle is the sh!t…classic…
Also Etta James didnt appear in the movie until more than half way through. The movie wasnt about Etta James, but the record company. I dont think they movie execs expected Bey to carry the entire movie, when Jeffrey Wright’s Muddy Water’s charcter was the first artist and had the most scenes.
btw columbus short WAS the film….he should be nominated for something if you ask me,i have never seen him act like that…..he left his comfort zone for sure,man oh man i loved him in this movie
Eveyone knows they only do that to pull in $, but it didn’t work. It just doesn’t.
I agree totally with Sandra and Myra!! That woman can’t act if you sent her to get lessons. She’s just like Kim from ATL housewives…maybe she need Dallas Austin to tell her that she can’t act..
Side bar: For my ATL folks- Did you all see NeNe on the news? The reports are that she lost her house. It’s suppose to be public notice of foreclosure. I felt like if she’s renting the house then it’s not her fault, the house does not belong to her. Isn’t her husband a realestate agent? The market is not doing so well these days you know. I really like NeNe and I hope things are well with her and her family.
what happened to Jeffery Wright? After Shaft he should have had movie offers coming out the azz.
I thought Myra only did Blind Items? I guess Beyonce brings out the “Fierce” in EVERYBODY!
Anywho, I was trying to type and Sandra actually thought she had some breaking news….my screen went black.

I think Tisha Campbell coulda’ knocked the role outta the park. Although I haven’t seen the movie. But going on appearance, acting and singing. Tisha fills the shoes, if you ask me.
Just like I think Maia Campbell coulda’ played Winter in Coldest Winter Ever, BEFORE she turned crackhead and bi-polar. I’m just sayin’.
you can’t tap into real skills if you don’t have them…she has as acting coach though…she needs to devote more time to the craft, find a new coach (although the one she has is reportedly a good one), or give it up altogether…she’ll never receive an oscar being typecast…
BEY was one of the producers of Cadillac Records. That is how she got the Etta James part. I, personally, would not have cast her in that role. Halle did the same thing to get the Dorothy Dandridge role, but it was a good fit or her (well mostly).
yes pryn! i was trying to figure out who fit the part and could sing too. tisha. yep.
…Now that candycane has given away the entire movie, I don’t think I’m going to see it either!…Thanks a lot!…(j/k)…
Jeffrey Wright is very talented but doesn’t get prime acting roles for some reason. Sparkle is hands down a classic and they have been trying to re make that movie for some years now as well. I have heard Mya and Ashantis name mentioned with that project.
Sidebar-I saw NeNe on the news here in the A. I do heart NeNe but you have to deal w/ all press the good, bad and ugly. She looked nice and had her head held high. Her hubby is supposed to be in real estate. I agree since they were renting to start with it’s not their house to lose.
#15 – They’ve been talking about this movie since Late 06, when it was first leaked. Don’t tell me you’ve never seen or heard of it until 2-3 weeks ago. Scratch a liar find a thief…

I must say that I am a stan. I guess that means a huge fan, either way that is me. I love Beyonce’ and her music. I will be the first to admit that her acting is not the best. I saw Cadillac Records and I was impressed. She played the role very well (this is my opinion). I am sure that a more seasoned actress could have done a better job but she did good. I agree with whoever said that it is not her fault, but the fault belong on those who cast her. She is not Jesus Almighty. She can’t shut a movie down, kill nobody’s kids, or ruin lives if she is not picked to play a part. Those casting agents (or whoever) cast her. I know people will say she should turn it down. I wouldn’t. They chose me, then hell why not do it? Someone else said the movie wasn’t about Etta, and they were right. She comes in late and only has a few scenes so blaming Bey for the movie”s failure is bull. Also I heard the movie was only shown on 650 or so screens, much less than the usual 3500 or so. Again this is what I heard I am not in the film business. Anywhoo the movie is good. I suggest you go see it if you want drama, singing, laughing, heartbreak, and a look into how some of the pioneers of blues and rock and roll got started.

THE PUNISHER MADE LIKE A HALF MILLION MORE, WAS THAT A FLOP, IT OPENED IN OVER 2000 THEATERS. DO SOME OF THE PEOPLE SO HELL BENT ON TRYING TO BRING BEYONCE DOWN EVER USE LOGIC? DID MYRA KNOW THAT PER SCREEN CADILLAC RECORDS AVERAGED MORE PER SCREEN THAN ANY MOVIE EXCEPT FOUR CHRISTMASES. AGAIN HOW MANY MOVIES ARE OUT RIGHT NOW? I KNOW FOR A FACT MORE THAN TEN.

#23, about Coldest Winter Ever? Is that still going down? I remember about 4 or 5 years ago when I was in college I saw a HBO behind the scenes (or some kind of news break) about the filming of the movie. I saw Jada P. Smith with the directors (or producer) headphones on giving directions. So I was so excited because that is like my favorite book ever. Okay that was about 4 or 5 years ago and I haven’t heard anything since. Does anyone know about it?
I agee Maia Campbell would have kilt (yes kilt) it!!
OK, Ok Imma try to catch the movie tonite, or maybe tommorrow, lawd knows the kids/weens take over the movies on the weekends

“SCRATCH A LIE FIND A THIEF!” I LOVE RAY! ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES!
BUT UMM YEAH, THEY WERE MOST LIKELY TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY STARTED AIRING THE COMMERCIALS FOR THE MOVIE. THEY DIDN’T START PROMOTING ON TELEVISION UNTIL SHE STARTED DOING HER APPEARANCES FOR HER ALBUM.
Hell, they should have given it to Lisaraye…
*YAWN*
Wasn’t it only released in like 680 theaters? I don’t like the woman either but it’s funny how there’s no mention of that little IMPORTANT part.
Hollywood doesn’t care how many theaters the movie was or was not in, if you make less than $10mil you’re considered a flop. They counted on bey’s name to bring in big dollars and it failed…miserably. I would say stick to singing but even there you’re becoming boring.
Uh no. It all boils down to the earnings per theatre. Because you can’t expect to make 10,000,000 dollars off of 680 theatres. Besides, it’s to early to tell if it’s a flop or not. You would have to monitor it for weeks. Just like Juno which became a hit after it was opened in more theatres.
The movie Punisher was number 8 and made 4.3 million but it was opened in 2,508. THAT’s a flop. That’s $1,594 per theatre.
Cadillac made more then that per theatre. Way more. $4,450. The number 1 movie, 4 chrismases, took in 16 this weekend. Was shown in 3335 theaters. That’s $5000 per theatre.
Didn’t read all comments so if I repeat what was said… I didn’t read it..
I’m tired of ppl saying she did good in this role. After trying something over and over and over and sucking @ it you would hope she would finally do it right.
The fact the Etta isn’t introduced until half way in the movie shows how the Bey team force her on the public. I’ve been hearing about Bey playing this role for about a year now. So much so that until recently I thought the movie was about her life. Did the same thing with dreamgirls.
& the Jackson comment. She better sit her azz down. She inspires to be like a Jackson. They are ALREADY ICONS. & just bc your father had a good job the fact still remains that he risked that lifestyle to pimp yo azz out to go from being middle class to rich bytch!
I swear she just needs to smile and look pretty. When Diana and them crossedover from singing to acting they did the damn thing. & call my opinion hating cause you’re right. I hate the fact that real actors are losing jobs to singers who can’t act their way out of a paper bag.
BEYONCE POST!! BILLION..BILLION..BILLION..!!AND THAT’S WHAT SHE IS GOING TO HAVEIN THE BANK WHEN SHE RETIRES!! GO BEY!!
This is not a movie execs problems and this is only done to African American culture, because our culture sought of “swings in the wind” there’s standard, dedication to anything so it becomes an “anything goes” type of situation. You do not see unseasoned White women within music playing serious roles. Only in our community and that’s because we support it. They don’t care if the person they pick is an actor or actress with experience, any Black person is fine. At least that’s the message we send when we support these movies. The only way to get the message across is to not support these movies as we have done with this film.
Tisha Campbell would’ve blown that role up. I love Gina!
She doesn’t have the built in fan base or the draw that more popular black actresses have. But, she was most qualified.
damn. now i don’t care to see the movie with all these comments. i’ll wait for dvd
What the fuck is that on her hand?
Sabotage.
“Cadillac Records” has an all-star cast, but you won’t know it unless you see the movie. It was done by design.
I didn’t know until last week that Mos Def, Cedric the Entertainer, Gabrielle Union, Columbus Short, and a few other great actors were in it. Who Knew? I just happened to catch 106 & Park, a show I haven’t watched in years.
No one cares about Adrian Brody and Jeffrey Wright, they’re great actors, but they don’t sell tickets. I think this movie should have been promoted like Ocean’s Eleven, and more people would have went out to see it.
Right on #42! She needs to stop with the acting, b/c she is not good at it. Plus the comment about the Jackson, her dad pimped her out just like their dad did.
Also for the people saying it was only released in a few theaters, how about they were talking about the film Ron Howard made about president Nixon was released this weekend in only 3 theaters and made almost $200K. So compared to that her movie flopped.
I can’t say but so much cause I didn’t see the movie, but i saw a clip and she still had her texas accent on certain words. When she sang as Etta she did a good job except for one part where she screamed a lil bit like Bey would, but I saw enough to at least make me wanna see the movie to see how she did. Ok now let me read your comments.
FIRST OF ALL, SO THE MOVIE FLOPPED BECAUSE BEYONCE WAS CAST IN IT? OR DID IT FLOP BECAUSE OF THE CONTENT OF THE MOVIE? THE MOVIE ISN’T EVEN CENTERED AROUND BEYONCE’S CHARACTER SO SHE IN NO WAY COULD CARRY A WHOLE MOVIE OR MAKE IT FLOP-
THUS FAR THE REVIEWS I’VE READ SAID THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TRYING TO CAPTURE THE ENTIRE STORY OF THE RECORD LABEL AND RE-CREATE THE ENTIRE TIME LINE OF EVENTS THAT PEOPLE COULD FOLLOW AND APPRECIATE ESPECIALLY THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THE ACTUAL EVENTS
AND ANOTHER THING, BEYONCE IS TAKING ACTING LESSONS SHE STATED SO ON THE TYRA SHOW
THE ONLY POSITIVE REVIEWS I’VE HEARD ABOUT THE MOVIE-HAS BEEN REGARDING BEYONCE’S PERFORMANCE
GIVE ME A BREAK-DON’T GET MAD CAUSE THIS WOMAN HAS THE COURAGE TO LIVE OUT HER DREAMS-EVEN IF “YOU” BELIEVE SHE FALLS SHORT OR FAILS IT DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE IT’S HER LIFE TO LIVE AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT THEN STOP WATCHING OR PAYING ATTENTION TO HER EVERY MOVE!
AT THE END OF THE DAY YOUR JUST ON THE SIDE-LINE WATCHING
WHICH SAYS ALOT-IT’S EASIER TO CRITIQUE OR SAY WHAT YOU WOULD OR WOULDN’T DO WHEN YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY IN A POSITION TO EVEN BECOME AN ACTRESS OR AN ENTERTAINER
WHOMP, WHOMP, HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven’t seen the movie and will probably wait on Netflix. I found out in ’06 that Beyonce was playing Etta and was pissed! I may be wrong, but I’m sure Bey screwed it up by adding “her spin” on the songs. (in the same ay she f**ked up J.T.’s “Until the End of Time” – song was gr8 till she started scream’n)
uh im not talking about when i heard about it,just cuz you or i heard about it months ago doesnt mean everyone else did…especially white folks who arent following behind beyonces every move….only hating ass black folks do that…im talking about PROMOTING THE MOVIE” heaing about it being made in 06 isnt promotion….and i just found out old dudes name is adrian brody….lol anyway like i said it was a very good movie,and you probably would learn something watching it but i mean hey God forbid black folks learn something about our music wheewwww thats just too much smh
and actually i think i could of seen tisha as etta too so i agree there…BUT she didnt so oh well….some of you are passing judgement just because you dont like the girl but havent even taken time to go watch it….no matter who would of played that part it could have failed because like i said there was hardly any promotion done…hell it could of done worse without bey in it…people just look for the negative in everything, it aint too many light skinned singers that could of did this role…so dont act like it was hundreds of female black actors that could of done better
I AGREE! BEYONCE CANNOT ACT. WHY CONTINUOUSLY GIVE HER ROLES “REAL” BLACK ACTRESSES COULD HAVE KILLED? HOW IS THIS FAIR, OR HOW DOES IT MAKE ANY TYPE OF SENSE. IF THEIR WAS A TRUE AUDITION, BEYONCE’S ASS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST. I DON’T BELIEVE THERE WAS AN AUDITION, I BELIEVE THEY SIMPLY GIVING HER THESE ROLES CAUSE THEY THINK WE AS BLACK PEOPLE ARE STUPID, AND WOULD SIMPLY GO TO THE MOVIE JUST TO GLARE AT THIS FAT BYTCH.
ONE DAY THE MOVIE EXECS WILL SEE THIS IS NOT PANNING OUT FOR THEM IN DOLLARS AND CENTS, WHEN WE STOP TAKING OUR DUMB ASSES TO THE MOVIES TO SEE HER.
I’M SHOWING MY SUPPORT FOR THE REAL ACTRESSES AND ACTORS BY BOYCOTTING ANY AND ALL OF BEYONCE’S ACTING PROJECTS. SHE NEEDS TO EARN THESE ROLES, AND ANY FOOL KNOW SHE’S NOT…IT’S A MATTER OF HER AND HER FATHER MEETING WITH THE MOVIE EXES AND PERSUADING THEM OF HOW MANY IDIOTS THEY CAN FILL THE SEATS.
SHE HASN’T SEEN A DIME OF MY MONEY.
I’M CERTAIN BEYONCE HAS BEEN WAITING UNTIL SHE GETS YOUR “DIME” SO THAT SHE CAN GO SHOPPING OR CASH A CHECK
LOL-ALL THESE SO PROCLAIMED PROFESSIONAL CRITICS AND CASTING DIRECTORS/PROFESSIONALS
YOUR OPINION IS JUST THAT-AND LUCKILY SANDRA PROVIDES A PLACE FOR THE FAKE PROFESSIONALS TO STATE THEIR OPINION OTHER THAN THAT YOUR WORDS/ADVISE/AND CRITIQUES FALL ON DEAF EARS
SELF-PROCLAIMED I MEANT
@MS TIA
HOW MUCH PROMOTIONS IS WILL SMITH’S NEW MOVIE POUNDS GETTING? NOW HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET IT’S GOING TO BE A HIT AT THE BOX OFFICE?
IF YOU PUT GOOD ENOUGH ACTORS IN THE MOVIE, THAT PEOPLE ARE EAGER TO GO SO BECAUSE OF THEIR ACTIVING ABILITIES, YOU DON’T NEED THAT MUCH PROMOTIONS (THEIR PAST WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF), CAUSE PEOPLE ACTUALLY LOOK IN THE PAPER, GO TO YAHOO, AND GO THE MOVIES TO FIND MOVIES TO LOOK AT ON THE WEEKENDS. SOMETIMES YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT MOVIES ARE OUT UNTIL YOU CHECK, OR SOMETIME YOU DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT A MOVIE, BUT ONCE YOU HEAR DENIRO OR AL PACINO IS IN IT, YOU’RE WILLING TO PUT YOUR MONEY ON THE COUNTER BASED ON THEIR REPUTATIONS ALONE; NO NEED TO PROMOTE HEAVILY.
REALITY IS NOBODY WANTED TO SEE BEYONCE ACTING BECAUSE SHE CANNOT ACT; SHE’S PROVEN THAT TIME AFTER TIME, AFTER TIME, AFTER TIME, AFTER TIME; THERE WAS NO NEED TO PAY $10.00 TO SEE A REPEAT OF THE SAME BAD ACTING OR SHOULD I SAY SLIGHTLY IMPROVED ACTING.
YOU SAID PEOPLE PASSING JUDGEMENT CAUSE THEY DON’T LIKE THE GIRL, BUT HOW ABOUT YOU MAKING EXCUSES FOR HER BECAUSE YOU DO LIKE HER?
@INTENSEMOCHA
YEP, AND DIMES ADD UP; I THINK MY DIME DOES COUNT.
AS FAR AS FAKE PROFESSIONALS, HOPE YOU INCLUDING YOUR DAMN SELF. I DON’T SEE YOUR DAMN CERTIFICATIONS.
@INTENSEMOCHA
YOU SPEAK AS IF YOU’RE NOT INCLUDING WITH EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE! YOU BE ON HERE GIVING YOUR TWO CENTS ABOUT ARTIST JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE; NOW THAT YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT BEYONCE, YOU GETTING SELF-RIGHTEOUS. PLEASE, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINIONS, WE ALL KNOW YOU’RE SO FAR UP BEYONCE’S ASS, YOU’D HAVE THOUGHT YOU WERE BORN IN THAT NOOK AND CRANNY. YOU NEED TO GET SOME SELF ESTEEM ABOUT YOURSELF AND STOP LICKING ANOTHER WOMAN’S CRACK. IT’S CRAZY FANS LIKE YOU THAT MAKE PEOPLE HATE AN ARTIST, ALWAYS READY TO JUMP DOWN SOMEONE THROAT FOR THEIR OPINION, AS IF YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE SPEWING FACTS. THERE HAVE BEEN CELEBRITIES YOU HAVE SAID NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT ON HERE, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, EVERYONE IS HATERS WHEN THEY SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT BEYONCE. YOU NEED TO GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE, OOPS YOU ALREADY FELL AND BUST YOUR LIP WHILE YOU WERE PASSING JUDGEMENTS ON YOUR FELLOW POSTERS.
I AINT THE ONE SAYING SHE CAN OR CANNOT ACT NOR AM I SAYING SHE MADE A WHOLE DAMN MOVIE FLOP
OR THE ONE WRITING LONG AZZ PARAGRAPHS TO DISCREDIT HER SKILLS OR TO EXPLAIN WHY I WOULDN’T HAVE CHOSEN HER AND CHOSE SOMEONE ELSE (AS IF YOU WERE IN THE POSITION TO EVEN MAKE THAT CHOICE-LOL)
YOUR DIME ALONE IS JUST THAT A DAMN DIME-COLLECTIVELY BEYONCE HAS ENOUGH STANS WHO SUPPORT HER CAREER (WHICH WOULD INCLUDE MY DIME) SO THE MAJORITY RULES AND THE MAJORITIY HAS SPOKEN BEYONCE IS A BAD BIATCH, THUS SUCCESSFUL AND SOUGHT OUT BY CASTING DIRECTORS
SO IF YOU WANT EVERYONE TO THINK LIKE YOU DO OR YOU WANT PROFESSIONAL CASTING DIRECTORS NOT TO ASK HER TO TAKE ROLES SINCE YOU ARE SO BIG AND BAD & YOUR BOYCOTTING HER MOVIES ETC. THEN BAND TOGETHER COLLECTIVELY AND MAKE YOUR OPINIONS/CRITIQUES COUNT & LET’S SEE HOW FAR YOU’LL GET LITTLE OLE YOU AND YOUR CREW BLACK BALLNG BEYONCE AS AN ACTRESS-LOL INSTEAD OF SULKING AND CRYING FOUL, OTHERWISE YOUR JUST BLOWING OFF STEAM
LIKE I SAID SIDE-LINE CRITICS AND WANNA BE PROFESSIONALS, SIT DOWN SOME WHERE MAJORITY RULES AND BEYONCE HATERS ARE THE MINORITY OTHERWISE SHE WOULDN’T BE SUCCESSFUL

IT AINT THAT SERIOUS-LET THAT GIRL LIVE SHE DOING HER AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU OR I SAY SHE’S PAID AND SUCCESSFUL AND HAS ACHIEVED MORE THAN MOST 25YR OLDS AND 30 YEAR OLDS WILL ACHIEVE IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE
WHO GIVES A DAMN IF YOU DON’T THINK SHE CAN ACT OR SHOULD BE CASTED FOR A MOVIE ROLE-YOUR NOT IN THE POSITION TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS SO WHY GET YOUR PANTIES IN A RUFFLE HON
IT AINT ABOUT BEING A STAN IT’S ABOUT CHEERING THE WINNING TEAM AND RIGHT NOW TEAM BEYONCE IS KICKING AZZ AND BEYONCE HATERS ARE FOAMING AT THE MOUTH AND HEADS ARE SPINNING LIKE THE EXCORCIST CAUSE YALL CAN’T STEAL HER SHINE
Everyone is entitled to there opinion. She did good and has grown acting wise. IN terms of the other AA actresses, they need to get better agents and a better drive. Halle is like the only one that hustles and bustel and make SERIOUS moves to move forward in her career. This other ones’ don’t take the necessary risk and really need to branch out of certain roles. Our women are always typecast – Bey don’t have anything to do with that.
And you made some great points about the #’s Munchosgirl.
And for the RECORD, dreamgirls was not that great to me at all – storyline needed work, a lot of scenes were out of place. J Hud was the best thing for the movie — to me Eddie & J Foxx needed to do better or do less, I can’t stand over acting.
That’s all I am saying on this, people want to see Bey fail so hard … but she hasn’t and won’t – she is a success & legend in the MAKING!
IT AINT ABOUT BEING A STAN IT’S ABOUT CHEERING THE WINNING TEAM AND RIGHT NOW TEAM BEYONCE IS KICKING AZZ AND BEYONCE HATERS ARE FOAMING AT THE MOUTH AND HEADS ARE SPINNING LIKE THE EXCORCIST CAUSE YALL CAN’T STEAL HER SHINE
I OCSIGN that in CAPS – real talk!
@INTENSEMOCHA
YOU’RE SUCH THE HYPOCRITE. AS IF YOU’RE NOT POSTING LONG PARAGRAPHS AND POSTER MULTIPLE TIMES; GUESS THAT MEANS YOU’RE MAD TOO YA HYPOCRITE. YOU’RE RIDICULOUS GOING AROUND CITING’S BEYONCE’S RESUME AS IF IT’S YOUR OWN. YOU PROBABLY KNOW MORE ABOUT HER BUSINESS THAN SHE KNOW ABOUT HER BUSINESS.
AND YOU SPEAK ABOUT THE MAJORITY RULES, WELL BEYONCE’S MAJORITY IS BECOMING A MINORITY BY THE DAY! AND DIMES COUNT, I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY. WITHOUT COUNTING DIMES YOU WOULD NEVER MAKE IT TO A MILLION. GO CHECK YOUR GED EDUCATION, WITH YOUR NO SELF ESTEEM HAVING SELF. ACTING LIKE BEYONCE’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE YOUR OWN, YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THE FACTS OF HER LIFE THAN YOUR OWN.
AND YES SIR REE I’M BOYCOTTING HER. I’M PERSONALLY BOYCOTTING HER BECAUSE GOING TO SEE A MOVIE WITH BEYONCE IN IT IS LIKENING TO FLUSHING MY MONEY DOWN THE TOILET. WHY SHOULD I PAY TO WATCH HER “TRY TO” ACT. YOU JUST PAY ATTENTION TO WHO YOU SPEND YOUR PENNIES ON, DON’T WORRY ABOUT WHAT I’M SPENDING MY MONEY ON.
AND I DON’T CARE IF ANYONE THINKS LIKE ME, COULD CARELESS, I SAID WHAT I’M GOING TO DO. TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE ON THE SIDE-LINE, AND SO ARE YOU! ONCE AGAIN, HYPOCRITE. YOUR WORDS, OPINIONS, AND THOUGHTS ARE NO MORE FACTUAL AND CREDIBLE THAN ANYONE ELSE, YET YOU ON HERE TRYING TO CHECK PEOPLE FOR FEELING THE WAY THEY DO. IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WITH NO LIFE WHO USUALLY FAWN ALL OVER CELEBRITIES CAUSE THEY HAVE WHAT YOU NEVER WILL, NOR DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH. YOU GO OVERBOARD BECAUSE YOU ARE PITIFUL. GET A LIFE!
@63
YEAH RIGHT, DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK! BEYONCE AINT KICKIN NO ASS. SHE CERTAINLY NOT KICKIN RHIANNA’S ASS. AND FOR THAT MATTER, SHE COULDN’T EVEN KICK NEW COMER, J-HUD’S ASS..ONLY IN YOUR MIND CAUSE IT’S YOUR OPINION. I CERTAINLY DON’T AGREE.
Frankly, both ya’ll b*tches need to chill with the caps.
Coo Coo. Out.
This is the dumbest post I have ever read! Damn, a girl try to do right and live her life right and all black people can do is dump on her! Same for Obama!
Pathetic, real pathetic!
Beyonce a box office nightmare but a blogger’s dream.
Don’t know how she does it but her post always get massive hits.
Is there a reqiurement that in order to be a Beyonce fan you have to type in all Caps?
LOL at erryybody!! It is it that serious? Either you are for her or against her. There will never be 100% agreeance in regards to Beyonce (success, acting, singing, sales, etc). So as I tell my second grade students, we on Sandrarose.com should all agree to disagree!!
THERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ETTA JAMES STATING SHE DIDNT KNOW WHO BEYONCE WAS AND THEY ASK HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HER AND SHE SAID “I DONT KNOW WE NEVER MET” HER BODYGUARD WAS IN THE BACK SHAKING HIS HEAD. IS SHE THAT ARROGANT WHERE SHE DIDNT MEET WITH THE LADY SHE WAS PORTRAYING? THIS IS WHY BEYONCE IS NOT AN ACTRESS! ACTRESSES RESEARCH THE ROLE WITH THE PERSON THAT THEY ARE PLAYING IF THEY ARE ALIVE. LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE!
No matter how many theaters its opened in it should have done better. Its opened in Los Angeles, there are millions of people in L.A. but many chose not to see it because the movie wasnt appealing, so to say it opened in only 600 theaters dont matter……they didnt open it in small cities but in big cities. Stop always making excuses for Beyonce, if this were anyone else everyone would be in agreement that the movie is a flop. The movie cost 12 million to make, it grossed $3.5million so they didnt make that back and they paid big stars to cast in it….Its a flop! Also, it didnt help that only Beyonce really got the promotion for a movie she was barely in, so people who dont blog or have computers would think that she is the main character because thats what the commercials looked like.
i agree that beyonce is a terrible actress, but with acting lessons she can get better with time. the problem is that she’s being cast because of her name and the fact that she is a superstar rather than her acting talent. that tends to leave people a little salty because everyone ( even the fans) know that she needs work. i can’t really speak on why the film did so bad because they have some really good actors in the movie and even though i don’t care for beyonce i won’t put the blame on her .
Beyonce and her Daddy produced the movie so it’s their loss.
why dont people comment on the acting of somebody in a movie they havent seen? actually the movie was a pretty good movie everyone did a good job in the movie acting including beyonce to say someone could have did a better job it like comparing apples to oranges. you can pretty much say that about any movie oh i think so and so would have did better in that role but that doesnt mean the person that did it did a better job. but directors tend to have a feel for who they want to play a role and evidently beyonce was brought up and nailed her audition. now for the movie to be considered a limited release it did a pretty good job if it had been a wide release and did 3 million it would be a total flop and ill agree the marketing was not strong at all because i forgot it was coming out until sometime last week when i saw a commercial but i went to see it anyway and was pleased at what i saw.
ok. so beyonce is an awesome entertainer but not so much of an actress. she’s a head liner though. however…im still trying to figure out how she’s a fraud….
….cause she fo damn sho ain’t no Wonder Woman! She playin with history now…LOL
We don’t like our old school cartoons to be changed up like that….LOL
Don’t get me twisted fam….I’m not knockin Mrs. Carter…she like she said in Dreamgirls “I can’t play that part”
She can’t do Wonder Woman…..Wonder Woman had some black sisters…but Wonder Woman wasn’t a sister.
Just wouldn’t be right……make her one of the X Men….Storm needs a sister….LOL
Hey Sandra. Long time no see
Beyonce’s hopes for an Oscar might be dashed with the latest mentioning of Golden Globe nominations. She is not in the actress or supporting actress listing. Aren’t Golden Globes a precursor to Oscar? She is nominated in Best Song category…alongside 5/6 other writers for one of the songs on Cadillac Records. 
I’m really late with this… But, I’m glad as hell this movie and B’s performance bombed! I like B’s music, but, I will never forget when she hated on Jennifer Hudson’s performance in Dreamgirls… implying that she could have had the same type of success, as Jennifer, if she had chosen to gain weight for the part of Effie. Not Hardly! We all know B can’t act or talk! Obviously, she’s been getting help with her speech, but, it’s still not enough for me to stomach her acting!
