Janet Jackson: 'Beyonce Has A Lot Of Growing Up To Do,' Responds to 'Poor Jackson' Flap

Janet Jackson is rumored to be fuming over Beyonce's controversial 'like the Jacksons comment' a few weeks ago.
Beyonce told reporters: "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."
While the first part of Beyonce's statement was accepted, the "I Am ...Sasha Fierce" singer's final statement ".. I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation" raised eyebrows and backlash.
According to sources close to Jackson, Janet is furious over the comment and is ready to set Beyonce straight.
"Janet wanted to know why Beyonce had to mention her family," the
insider said.
"They're not friends and barely know each other. She
feels Beyonce went out of her way to tell the world she's from the
upper class and the Jacksons were like a bunch of dirty gutter rats."
"Not only is Janet telling everyone who will listen that Beyonce has a
lot of growing up to do and that she needs to stop trying to impress
everyone, she's planning to confront Beyonce herself and read her the
riot act."

i think beyonce need to look at her own life with her family. what father in his right mind would want to see there child dancing around half naked to sell cd .That right hes your pimp shame on you and your family
Never take sides to voice your opinion unless you were there in the flesh to hear both sides, even then, you cannot interpret what either means because it is possible they themselves are unaware of what they intended to say. They are both beautiful and talented ladies.
Never compare yourself to someone else. It only magnifies your jealousy and/or envy towards the person. When you lack class, humility, grace and the ability to articulate without using ebonics is a clear indicator of someone who is the opposite of what attempt to portray.
go get a life
I think beyonce is super classy and talented and she has attained so much success at 28 while it takes other artist years to get where she is. I also don't believe that beyonce said this.
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.
