Get over it Knowles, Beyonce did not win. The world saw the movie and the world voted. Trust me Beyonce is not all that. Reign time over. Don't you get it everyone is not sucked into yours and Beyonce dream world. NO doubt you and she bragged about this movie to be her breakout movie as an actress. No No No No way Jennifer is going any where. God has his time for every thing and every body. People are really tired of seeing old woman on stage with nothing on them except the brest coverd and the crotch. Beyonce is to old to be half dressed every time she enter the stage. If the truth be told her only fans are 12 to 20 year old and they have to get there money from their parents to purched Beyonce crap and know that real parents are sick of you and your ' role model' that you stated was not your responsibility. People say and I say Beyonce can't talk, her verb knowledge and english diction is horrible and you want her to be a world representative for me, yes I'm black and Beyonce is not capable of speaking for me. No racism was shown against her in the Golden Globes she just did not win. get over it Knowles.

matthew knowles is an idiot. he says discrimination was the reason that beyonce was not nominated? its so hard to believe anyone would say that. for one several black people were nominated for and won big awards such as best actor, supporting actress etc. how does he explain their nominations and wins? his problem is probably just that he cannot accept that people simply didnt think beyonce was good enough to be nominated. you know THAT IS a possibility, shocking as that seems. as a latina, it bothers me when people in my community scream discrimintation almost as a knee-jerk reaction and it likewise bothers me that mr knowles seems to be doing this. he is contributing to a problem by making those who are in a situation where they are actually discriminated against taken less seriously. its really sad that he would choose to see this situation this way. so basically any lowpoints in b's career are due to discrimination i guess.... uh right. maybe she just sucks.

Anyone who saw the movie and knows about Beyonce must agree that she is a great singer. However, the awards are about acting, and she cannot act. Why she's being pushed to cross over to acting when she has a brilliant singing career is beyond me. She's already distracted from singing with her 'clothing line'. Does she really need more distractions???

MR kNOWLES I SEE WHY bEYONCE IS WHERE SHE IS BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY AND PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY TIRED OF YOU AND YOUR ARROGANCE. I SAW DREAM GIRL AND YOUR DAUGHTER ACTING AVERAGES TO THE FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL THAT PLAYED HER IN FIGHTING TEMPTATION, VERY CHILD LIKE AND COLD WITH NO FEELINGS, I EXPECTED THAT FROM THE FOUR YEAR OLD BUT A 25 YEAR OLD LADY SHOULD BE MORE DRAMATIC OR ABLE TO EXPRESS FEELINGS BETTER THAN THAT. IF BEYONCE WOULD TRY SOME HUMBLE PIE AND TAKE NOTES FROM JHUD, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL, BEYONCE HAS FORGOTTEN WHERE SHE CAME FROM. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE BLACK. YOU CAN FIND SINGERS ANYTIME OF THE DAY IN THESE SMALL COUNTRY TOWNS THAT WILL SING A SQUARE BOX AROUND BEYONCE. SO PLEASE WHEN YOU STOP SELLING BEYONCE AND JAYZ STOP USING HER SHE COULD BE GOLDEN GLOBE WINNER-NOT A MINUTE BEFORE. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE THAT RACIST BULL AND TO SOMBODY WHO CARES ABOUT IT LIKE 'TINA, KELLY AND SOLANGE'.I DON'T REALLY THINK JAYZ CARES SHE JUST BANKING LIKE HE IS. SO SAD THAT HE WILL DATE HER FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS BECAUSE SHE KEEP GIVING HIM THE MILK,CONFLAKES AND SUGAR. WHY SHOULD HE BUY WHATS FREE WITH NO EXPECTATION. MAYBE NEXT TIME BEYONCE BUT YOUR YELLING LISTEN WSD JUST THAT YELLING AND YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THESE MESSAGE BOARD. WE OWE YOU NO LIE.

Wow...umm...I don't believe that one, Beyonce said it herself, 'I have nine grammys, I'm already a star, people know I can sing' so does she really need a Golden Globe too. NO! Matthew your daughter is very musically talented, but she's not the best actress, that's why she lost. I mean it wouldnt have made sense for Meryl Streep to loose to Beyonce, are you kidding me?! You can blame this on her being black. J-Hud is black too, and she won..why you ask, because she was BETTER than those in her category, people felt something when she was on the screen.I'm black too, and in many cases people loose to racism, but my dear this is just NOT one of those times.

Mr. Knowles is Obsessed with Beyonce's SpotlightJan 20th, 2007 - 03:14:37

Oh hell here we go! Whenever Beyonce's spotlight taken away & given to somebody else Papa Knowles comes a running to take it back. He, after all is his daughter's manager! Beyonce's performance in Dreamgirls was simply OK. Not bad, not great! This movie was definitely Jennifer Hudson's MOVIE! Beyonce has been blamed for yours for 'spotlight hogging'. But it was her Dad that always pushed Bey infront of other talented stars. Destiny Child has eerie similarities to The Supremes.
But really surprises me is that Knowles Senior would accuse Hollywood of not promoting Beyonce. Are you kidding me? From the moment Beyonce went Solo from her girl group, Hollywood has bend over, gone gaga over Miss Beyonce. Not since Halle Berry, has a Black woman received so much press & coverage all over the country. I hate to say it, but it's because Bey is light skin, with long hair why she continues to receive kudos from Hollywood. There hundreds of equally beautiful talented, African American women who do not get an ounce of press! Even tabloid press is better than none at all! Plus, Jennifer Hudson & The Movie have been heavily promoted in Hollywood! Shame on Mr. Knowles. Yes racism still exists in Hollywood but Jennifer Hudson has received strong promotion from all media outlets, YES over Beyonce so that is what's really irking Papa Knowles. Hey, Don't ruin Jennifer's Year!

she was NOMINATED for the award she just didn't WIN. In all honesty Meryl Streep was awesome in the Devil Wears Prada & her performance was much more satisfying than Beyonce's in Dreamgirls. I don't think she deserved the nomination. While her acting has improved from film to film I don't think her Dreamgirls performance was worth the nomination for a Golden Globe and I will be incredibly suprised if she is nominated by the Academy for an Oscar. Then again, perhaps all of this hooplah is Mathew's way of getting the Academy's attention.

a possible Globes red carpet conversation:Jan 20th, 2007 - 04:30:04

JENNIFER: Wow, my hair really DOES look good this way. And I'm so glad I chose this navy dress -- I have to say, I feel pretty hot right now.

BEYONCE: Yeah, fine, smile it up, TV bitch - let's just all remember who only held back on her singing voice because they MADE her, because she was TOO FIERCE for her role. Was it you? NO. Was it the From Justin To Kelly chick? NO. Was it that other bitch? NO. CHECK IT, hos, it was ME.

JAMIE: Man, Hudson looks fine. Almost as fine as I do, although nobody could outfox the Foxx. Miss B over there must be pissed-- she looks so Las Vegas that her dress even has its own coin slot up there. HAHAHAHAHA, oh, Foxxy, you've still got the funny, baby!

JENNIFER: I hope Beyonce isn't mad at me.

BEYONCE: No, I'm serious, hos, are you checking it? You'd BEST. Because I can't believe I am playing second fiddle to some bitch Paula Abdul dug up out of obscurity. Seriously. The claws are coming OUT. And so is her HAIR.

JENNIFER: I also hope Beyonce doesn't try and pull out my hair. She keeps accidentally touching it and she looks kind of like she's plotting something. I can't help it that I have a great stylist and she just has her mother. I didn't do that to her.

BEYONCE: It is ALL HER FAULT that I didn't win. Lady, I could sing circles around your ass, and Simon Cowell would CRY and Randy Jackson would be all, 'You're doing your thing, dog, and that thing is KICKING SERIOUS ASS,' and Paula would go, 'If I ordered a pizza right now they'd deliver it to Montana because that was so good you almost made me want to eat some mascara and there are rainbows here and where am I? Are you my mother?' ...

EDDIE: I wonder if they'll burn the print of my next movie if I pay them enough money.

BEYONCE: ...and then Simon would be all, 'What Paula is trying to say is that you are perfection, and you're the best there has ever been and I don't need to see any more,' and then they'd CANCEL THE SHOW because there was no way they could do better and THAT is how I would WIN American Idol, you sad little runner-up, you.

EDDIE: No, really. I don't want to be all Queen Latifah here, winning a major award and then having a craptravaganza like Taxi coming out right afterward. But at least I look smooth. What the hell was Beyonce thinking? If we hang her from the ballroom ceiling they can turn off all the other lights and have a real cheap electric bill.

JENNIFER: Oh, well, I'll just try not to think about Beyonce. After all, I've never felt this good about myself in my life. Seriously, I think I deserve to be very proud of myself.

BEYONCE: Ohh, yes, just get ready, you humble little trophy hound, you. It's COMING.

JAMIE: DANG, bitches, I'm glad I took my shades off -- I'll get a better view of the catfight this way. Come on, let's see some clawing and spanking. Y'all can mess up my tux if it means I see some girl-on-girl without having to go back to my hotel room first. Let's get it ON.

JENNIFER: Although... I really should remember to get that restraining order ready.

Jennifer Hudson is up and coming. That girl is a natural. Beyonce can sing but acting is not for her. Beyonce can sing performing a part, but can not talk the part. Face Daddy Knowles, stick to singing.

Why we should not trust the mediaJan 20th, 2007 - 08:50:31

Knowles' dad blames racism for his daughter's lack of publicity or support in her nomination.

He told press and attending reporters after the ceremony on Monday, 'Today is Martin Luther King's birthday and it saddens me to say that things have not changed for blacks. Working class blacks and blacks in Hollywood are still being discriminated against. We still have a long way to go.'

Where in his statement does Mr Knowles say that his daughter was slighted by the Golden Globes Award process. That comment about the lack of publicity or support for Beyonce' was added in by the author of the article. Why do you know this because it is not between the quote marks that designate statements directly received by the author from the subject in question.

His comment was about MLK birthday and furthermore, Beyonce' in no form or fashion disparaged Ms Hudson. This is some PR mess. This is a classic spin job. Don't believe the hype y'all until someone who was actually on the set comes to you and tells you the 'riff between Knowles and HUdson was true, otherwise put all of the above statements in the trash bin.

This whole thread since the award event about Knowles and Hudson is horsehockey.

Please please don't get sucked into this game and let's think crtically about what we're doing!!! The headline is deliberately misleading and designed to suck us into a catfight for ignorant people- If you read the full comment by Matthew Knowles made on MLK day there is no personal attack on JHud or even a defence of his daughter. He makes a simple general statement about black people still being limited palyers in Holloywood which, for the most part, remains very true. Of course, he as any parent internally would want the focuss to be on their child, but he did not denigrate the accomplishements of JHud in any way in fact she wasn not even mentioned!!! This non-story is a complete concoction by the editor who frankly should be censured. The divide and conquor method has been used against us for centuries -don't take the bait - this is a set-up. Let's crtically assess the content and not just knee-jurk react to headlines.

Beyonce needs to sit down and her parents need to shut up. Beyonce is an established rich entertainer who has more awards than she could carry. She has makeup contracts worth millions. She is in movies and people are also buying her mammie-made clothes. She is dating a hip hop mogul. SO why is she upset about Jennifer Hudson's success?

Mr. Knowles is an idiot for using the race card because his daugter didn't win at the golden globes. I think every other black person nominated got an award that night so the racism charge does not stick. Also since Beyonce was dressed like a Golden Globe award at the show, she does not need one anyway.

I know that parents have the most impossible love for their children but they should really tell Beyonce that she can not act. Deal with it.

The way that Beyonce has behaved toward Jennifer Hudson has been a disgrace.
Jennifer Hudson did not win american idol and this is the first film that she ever did. She did an amazing job. Also she is a humble and gracious human being who, unlike Beyonce, has a lot of class. Beyond being an amazing raw talent she has shown so much class in handling all of the excitement. She deserves all the success that she gets.

Jennifer Hudson was excellent. I cheered for her and cried for her. She was the movie..bottom line.
B was almost non existant. I really did not see any improvement. She seemed nervous and a bit high. I don't like her anymore since she made those bad commnents about how many grammys and this and that she has. She can sing, but not as well as Jennifer can. Jennifer sings rings around b. It's kinda sad that she had to help write a song and thing over sing it to try and match Jennifer's legendary song that everyone knows. She tried to out do Jennifer Holiday. Never in this life b you don't have the pipes to box with Jennifer Hudson or Jennifer Holiday. never ever and I mean never! Jennifer is a natural. She has heart and soul. She will go on to win grammys and those other awards and she may even earn an OScar before you. B you are getting old and tired with that over peroxide hair and those unbeweavable weaves. Too much and too late.
Jennifer is a true artist and she is down to earth unlike you b. HOw dare you say you don't want people calling you b unless they really know you. Guess what b i will not buy any of your music or download it or even go to clubs and dance to you because you are not an artist you are an opportunist who just sceams and scams and plots and plans all day long copying other people's style. You are unoriginal and boring with your tiny too small clothes. Nasty put some clothes on.

I saw dreamgirls and that girl did not even deserve a nomination. I am a african american person and this year i think racism is so far from the picture in award season. Finally you have blacks competing with whites and win not because of the color of there skin but because the out shown the rest of the competition. Forest Whittaker won againist Leo d.,Eddie Murphy beat out Jack N. Because they out shown in there craft. Beyonce can barely speak good english. why should she win a golden globe. That man is a moron. I guess forest whittaker, eddie murphy and Jennifer hudson are all white. Idiot.

Beyonce has always been overrated. She has no talent and she knows it, otherwise she would not have to appear NAKED in every picture she has ever taken. Jennifer Hudson has 'TRUE' TALENT, and Beyonce is just another 'Video Girl' with a Big Booty that she pokes in every face she can.

Father Knowles can scream racist all he wants, but what he needs to realize is that Beyonce is just another passing 'BOOTY' that will leave off the scene as soon as another 'BOOTY' comes on the scene.

Beyone has no sustaining power, therefore she will eventually lose her stardom as she is doing now.

Reality has set in, and the 'TRUTH HURTS'.

BEYONCE STAR IS FAL-AL-AL-AL-AL-AL-INGJan 23rd, 2007 - 17:39:15

Beyone has always been just another booty. She has been pushed into the spotlight due to her booty. If all it took was a booty, video queens would be called Beyonce. I have watched Beyonce during interviews on the red carpet, she is always 'POSING', hands by her head, trying to push sexy, trying to continually push her body out there. She is not humble, she is not intelligent, and she is not for real. Beyonce is phony, and her singing voice is nothing more than a copy of a passing fad.

Her singing does nothing for you, and if she did not use her body, people would not even listen to her music. I am sick and tired of people saying she is talent, and to those people I say: you know nothing about singing.

Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, and JENNIFER HUDSON, are REAL SINGERS!!!!

Beyonce is nothing more than a person that can sing along with a record. Her voice has no distinction of its own, she does not make the hair on your head rise, she has no SUBSTANCE, the only thing she has is BOOTY and not much of that.

If you want someone to appear in a porno movie, Beyonce is your girl, if you want someone with talent.......JENNIFER HUDSON is at the top.

Beyonce, her father, her mother, can say what they want, but the TRUTH IS ....Jennifer Hudson who was previously the 'honorable mention' is now at the TOP, and she just moved up in a category that BEYONCE CANNOT TOUCH!!!!!!

As the above comment stated.....THE TRUTH HURTS!!!!!!!!!!

This is such a stupid comment to make when a total of five African Americans won awards that night. Get over it Daddy Knowles and Beyonce, this is not a popularity contest, TRL or the MTV awards. These are very prestigious acting awards. It is obvious that this is a real wake up call that the World does not revolve around and cater to Ms. B. Judging from Dreamgirls, Beyonce has a long way to go before she will be taken seriously as a real actress.

Congratulations Jennifer. You rock girl.
