I think that Beyonce is ignorant, she really does not now how to communicate. She also does not know how to act. She lack class and her parents quit their jobs to pim her. And as for being upper class, she needs to repeat private school. She wants to be the next Michael but Beyonce has no rhythm... I really can't see what all the hoopla is about. Rihanna is prettier, Mary J and Jennifer can sing better. Beyonce just likes to wiggle her ass.

Man, What Beyonce said was totally imiture. She need 2 worry about her own buisness, and hope she makes it wear Ms. Jackson's is. That all I hav 2 say. And Another thing Beyonce does'nt sing she screams most of her lyrics.

Nobody's downing her (Knowles) for who she is and what she has accomplished, her big ass mouth did that... And on another note bootylicious??? really... really??? That has got to be the worst piece of recorded crap I've ever heard. She is nothing more than a "typical" recording artist at best, she can twist, grind, squak & moan like the masses. So she makes good money and happens to be black... Yea, she's real special.

People these days just don't know what real music is anymore.Beyonce wish she was in the Jackson family.Her family has officially f***ed her brain up.''Sasha fierce'',come on america.Why do we buy in to crap like that.BRAINS over BOOTY.

Beyonce needs to get off her high horse.The fact that she would even say any negative thing toward the icon Janet makes me weep for her.She and her so called music is just a fake ass image that holds no substance or originality what so ever.Janet would make her look like rat s***.Talentless beauty only gets you so far.

Damn, the Knowles clan sure have a lot of class, especially Solange! I mean, regardless of what her CHEATING daddy does for her career, NO ONE is buying that sh!t. This talentless chick still LIVES off her family's money; and their money was definitely used to PAY that dude to briefly marry that ugly-azz whore! Joe Jackson taught his kids DISCIPLINE and instilled undeniable work-ethics in them all. However, the TALENT was obviously already in Joe's kids! Matthew Knowles USED Destiny Child's other members for HIS family's benefit, which is well documented! Unlike Solange, Beyonce is talented and very marketable! On the other hand, Beyonce is the only one with the talent but is very immature and quite spoiled to say the least! On a brighter note, by time Beyonce reaches Janet and Jay-Z's age, she'll be a less-insensitive, more diverse-minded woman in her early 40's!

Beyonce and Solange will NEVER NEVER NEVER attain the success as the Jacksons! The Knowles are fake!!!

LMFAO!!! ROFL @ smh!!!!!!!!!!! BEYONCE & SOLANGE ARE BOTH BALD- HEADED ASSES! LOL...THEY WILL NEVER BE LEGENDS LIKE THE KING MICHAEL JACKSON & THE QUEEN JANET JACKSON!!! NEVER!!! SO KEEP SHAKING YOUR BOOTY TO THE LEFT, TO THE LEFT BEYONCE!!!

Beyonce the Knowles are not the Jackson and remember it wasn't like they lived for years without money. They were making money when Janet was like 5 years old. The Jacksons were millionaires with maids and security at the house, driving around like the Beatles. They had lunch boxes, cereal boxes with their pictures, animated books, cartoons made of them. So, lets not get it twisted. Beyonce said the Jackson's name because she want that kind of fame.

I think all of you are too much for yourselves to even play into such comments. Beyonce is making a mark in the music industry that many wished they could have. Janet made a mark in the music industry that many wished they could have. Marion Andersion made a mark in the classical music many wished they could have. Pastor Shirley Ceasar made a mark in gosepl music that many wished they could have. They are all exceptional women in their own way with much to offer the world. As for the comment about upper class and lower class, maybe Beyonce did not see the struggles and hardships that others had. She was shielded from certain things and that is cool. But don't down her for who she is and what she has accomplished. Lastly, none of us were there to actually hear the interview, so we don't know what was said. The media has a way of twisting comments to make them seem one way when in fact it was not meant that way at all. So unless any of you were there to hear it let it go.

Uh excuse me B, but those "low class Jackson's" paved the way for you to be scooting on the floor with your stanky panties. Your parents may have had a little money, but your money hungry grubby hands daddy aint no better than Joe. (God Bless the child that's got his own). Your still working to keep that name. You aint the business like that Rock Princess. What u need to do is watch out for Rhiana. And those coming after your ass.

I think Beyonce needs to shut her mouth.Cause Janet Jackson made it possible for singers like her.Janet Jackson needs to put her in her place.She really do needs to grow up and get a life.She just trying to get more TV time.And I know Beyonce didn't come from a upper class family.Cause she said in plenty interviews that they grew up with nothing.So i'm with Janet all the way,and i'm going to always support her no matter what.

Beyonce is a damn lie...she went to public school right here in Houston Tx. I am a huge fan of hers, but don't front...she was a b,c,d, student with an average family!!! She did private school n like pre k, but went the middle and high in the HOOD!!!and the private school wasn't all that...in fact I know people who went on scholarship...maybe she did too!!! Don't let her fool yall!

Beyonce is pig s*** compared to the jacksons. she needs to shut her mouth.

There is no way Beyoncé would go out of her way to insult anyone. I don't get the thing about the "dirty gutter rats". Beyoncé said about having a Jaguar, working as a family etc like the Jacksons. From what I know it didn't seem like Jo Jackson was as close to his family like Beyoncé's. I heard that Jo used to use his kids, maybe she heard that too. We'll never know if that rumour it true or not unless Janet specifically says so. It was like a way of Beyoncé saying people think we're like the Jacksons but it's not necessarily true. Maybe she just used the wrong words. Lady77, what's the deal with you? You're going on bout how Beyoncé is really low class... You got a low class attitude! So what that Solange has a baby boy. They're a happy family so just leave it... Better than having an abortion to cover it up. It's not like getting pregnant at a young age only happens within lower class does it???

@Lady77, oh, I guess in your naive world upper-classmen do not make mistakes. Sorry, they do they just cover it up by throwing money around.

Beyonce, father Knowles wasted in money sending you to private school because you communication skills lack decorum and common sense. Furthermore, you should have taught Solange to "Put a Ring on It" before getting pregnant at 16. It appears upper-class is actually low-class only using a title to appear something you're really not.

@ Sylvia, in this era hell 10 years is great. Some stars can’t last longer than their first album. But, I must agree with you, Janet has out lasted many and she is still very popular. I love her cannot wait for her comeback album because the last two have flopped.

how dare she EVEN compare herself to jacksons! they came from NOTHING and became famous THATS why they are so humble! you NEED to be grateful beyoce instead of keeping your nose in the air and acting like a rich priss

Beyonce is a little over 10 years in the game, she can get her mad props if she still on top ten years from nowl. What goes up must come down BEYONCE. Janet should put her in check. Who she thinks he is?

I am so tired of racist comments about African-American entertainers. Every time an African-American star says or does something that the media or people do not agree with, they are called “ghetto”. Beyonce has never lived or probably hung around people from the ghetto. The reporter asked her questions about her family. It was similar to “did her father push her into the music industry and take away her childhood, like the Jacksons. She has never given a public comment about any one; therefore, the reporter tried to bait her. Now, I see why she is so careful about what she says in interviews not to be perfect, but for things like this that are taken the wrong way. If the Jacksons are so concerned about how the public views them, they should have never agreed for a movie to be made, hell or books. By the way, La Toya and La Tavia left the group and Beyonce was devastated (read the articles). Every time you hold your breath for someone to fail. God will make sure they do not. LOL

Did Beyonce actually said that???????? Pls somebody tell where to find this interview so I can see things for myself cuz I'm extremely confused.

Beauty fades Ms Knowles-Carter. *Remember you are a chesseburger away from being obese. * An interview away from being diagnosed as CLINICALLY DUMB *...and one album away from being virtually ANNOYING! My advice, Shawn Carter is waiting. Assume the position as Kobe Bryants 'dimwitted' wife, and start having babies. The media does not like to hear pseudo-intelligent comments from airheads with NO COMMON SENSE!

lisariew said it perfectly....:) that's how i would have said it, although i'm with everyone on here so far. And y is she forever n a damn leotard?! i think she's making a desparate attempt at being remembered for her legs like the great ms. tina turner....aint gonna happen. she wants so badly to be an icon that it's blinding her to how silly she makes herself look. not to mention she's gotten lazy. single ladies,ego and sweet dreams video are all the same!

loooooooooooooool ! b must be having deep inferiority complex ! thats it ! when we talk about real legends and icons, she shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence , while MJ and JJ can ! i think she needs to chill... she knows she cant compare herself to them, so now she cant help it and she talks crap ! shez so insecure. lol ! with that obession of wanting to become an icon, im not surprised with her behaviour ! but hey ! it must have been hard for her, i mean, seeing j hudson perform there, and not her. please, i seem to have forgotten ? wasnt j hudson who smacked that blonde weave and caked make up off b's face in dreamgirls ? wasnt she the one the president askd to sing for him first before before b had to pratically beeeeeeeeeeeeeg for it ? just asking....

How you gonna call your tour the "I AM" tour with the only One that can call Himself "I AM" is the Great I AM, that is God, Jehovah. How dare you? I'm pretty sure you got that from "Hova" short for Jehovah. What kind of idolatry and babylonian whoredom are you people trying to pull off. I wouldn't be surprised if you or your company weren't responsible for the downfall of many artists so you could come up. Its just a little too bizarre that you have such "good luck" in the untimely events of other artists. for example, Aaliyah, TLC (destiny's child), Jennifer Hudsons family, and Rihanna/chris brown(I wonder if he was drugged and coerced) and now we have another tradegy. How convenient for you? I would investigate all of these so-called "coincidences"?

DON'T YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LEGACY TO WORK ON INSTEAD OF STEALING FROM OTHERS. DAMN. IF YOU HAVE FANS, FINE BUT DON'T F*CK WITH THE ARTISTS THAT WE LIKE BECAUSE WE WILL NEVER COME OVER TO YOUR SIDE IF YOU DO THAT. YOU LOSE MORE PEOPLE THAN GAIN THEM WHEN YOU DO THAT. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TALENT TO STAND ON YOUR OWN WITHOUT F*CKING YOUR OWN RACE. YOU ARE WILLYLYNCH'S B*TCH. SASHA FIERCE IS THE TRUE FEMALE HOUSE N*GGER SUCKING THE D*CKS OF A RACIST INDUSTRY. IF YOU CAN'T STAND ON YOUR OWN THEN DON'T F*CKIN STAND AT ALL. YOU NEED NOT USE "SUBTLE" TACTICS TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BIGGER. DON'T F*CK WITH THE JACKSON BRAND. CAUSE THATS EXACTLY WHAT YOU AND YOUR HANDLERS ARE ATTEMPTING. THEIR ARE ALOT OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS THAT COME FROM MEAGER BEGINNINGS SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT THEM. WATCH YOURSELF THAT PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T STICK. YOU ARE PROMOTING THE IDEA THAT A BIG ASS AND SMALL MINDS WILL GET YOU FAR. WHAT A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE FOR OUR SMALL GIRLS.

MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL – B PUT HER BIG FOOT IN HER MOUTH IN THE ELLE ARTICLE CRITICIZING THE JACKSON FAMILY CAUSE SHE SURE AIN’T PERFORMING AT THE MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL. BUT MARIAH CAREY AND JENNIFER HUDSON ARE. I WONDER WHY? CLASS ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP. B YOU CAN ONLY WHORE YOURSELF FOR SO LONG AND PASS IT OFF AS CLASS BEFORE IT IS SEEN FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS…….SHAKING THAT ASS FOR MONEY…. CORPORATE PROSTITUTION IN A LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH FASHION.

. BEYONCE LISTEN AND LISTEN GOOD, YOU ARE PIMPED BY A RACIST INDUSTRY TO TRY AND DESTROY THE LEGACIES OF BLACKS WHO WENT BEFORE YOU AND YOUR ASS IS DUMB ENOUGH TO LET THEM DO IT. WAKE UP, YOU ARE A PAWN. MAJOR INDUSTRY PROSTITUTE WHO IS TRYING TO OPERATE A POSITION LIKE BUSH DID IN THE 2000 ELECTIONS. STOLE FROM J.LO WITH BIG ASS THING, THEN HAD THE NERVE TO STEAL SHAKIRA'S IMAGE.

IN REGARDS TO ELLE ARTICLE INSULTING THE JACKSONS: BEYONCE NOT INVITED TO PERFORM AT JACKSON MEMORIAL ATTACKS/INSULTS JACKSON BRAND!!!!!! A PURPOSEFUL ATTEMPT TO RUIN THEIR LEGACY (CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ONE) AALIYAH WOULD HAVE NEVER SPOKE OF JANET OR EVEN TRIED TO COMPETE WITH JANET. AALIYAH WOULD HAVE NEVER DISRESPECTED ARETHA FRANKLIN. NOR DID SHE TRY AND CRUSH AND DESTROY HER CONTEMPORARIES. SHE HAD CLASS, SHE RESPECTED THE FANS AND THEIR NEED FOR VARIETY. BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE. WE HAVE A GESTAPO DESGUISED AS BEING ATTRACTIVE AND TALENTED. MICHAEL JACKSON AND PRINCE NEVER TRIED TO INIALATE EACHOTHER OR SPEAK DOWN ABOUT THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE THEM.
