The comments are funny. There are two different eras we are talking about here. Jacksons grow up in the 60s-70s vs Knowles in 80 and late 90s. Black people came along way. Do you really think that they could have all of that back in those times, in America. hmmm

Beyfalsée's father made the singers go TAN to make her seem WHITE. Her career was going nowhere until her control-freak of a father decided to pimp her out. And her mother is no different. They are both shameful. Bey and Gay are wack and industry-created, nothing more. GayZ has no talents except in stealing other people's beats. Like fat Chris Rock, who just isn't funny anymore, GayZ is simply another homothug hiding away behind pre-nup-loving Bey. Petri dish kids rule these fake people's lives now.

when the economy comes CRASHING down, we shall see how Beyfalsée and Gay-Z, her closet case of a hub, deal. It will be quite funny to see actually. More funnier than when Befalsée fell off the stage and BUSTED HER ASS, roflmbao!

Beyonce and Solange were not uuused. They had proper guidance, support, and positive attention. They were being praised and loved as children, and even into adulthood. They did not have the usual ignorant african american parents. It shows.

YOYOYO mannnn solange is the ZAM DIGGITY! SHE IS PerFOMRING IN hOUsTON!!!! IN MARCH AT THE RODEO!!!!

CHECK IT OUT SHE IS PERFORMING AT THE HOUSTON rodeo!!!!! CHECK IT OUT ON THE Houston Chronicle WEBSITE HOUSTON WELCOME WELCOME THANK u AND your welcome!!! AnD It was ranked number on the 08!

Its a case of marketing racism which reflects society. http://controversial-affairs.blogspot.com/2009/01/beyonce-marketing-racism-black-and.html

janet will always be above beyonce i dont care how long she will be around she will never measure up to janet PERIOD. i love beyonce music BUT she is not the only young artists out their putting out good music . solange shut up and beyonce grow up this being young thang will soon fade away show soon respect girl.

seriously wtf has janet done where is she .................................. beyonces comment was obviously taken out of proportion and the question asked was probably probing her to say wat she sed IF ITS TRUE so stop hating if janet and beyonce have said nuffink about it then it dnt mata until one does and as for solanges comment it is a rumor also being a singer and performer isnt about great intellect !!!!!!!! its about being able to sing well nd perform well nd beyonce can, she dont have to speak to be a big star

i think everyone needs to stop looking so damn into this ........... HELLO it wasnt confirmed by either so therefore it is still all a rumour

I also agree with mostly with Sam below and browndiva. Her songs are jamming in the clubs, but they reflect her intellect! Her songs are heavily dosed with egotism! Even Madonna and Aretha Franklin, 2 divas who have the biggest egos of all the divas, never actually had to sing about being the #1 chick in the game in their heyday! If her camp doesn't take anything else serious about what we as bloggers say good or bad about her,it has been OK until now! She has got to work on her rheotic, interviewing techniques and articulation-No question! If this is her intellect while she is in her 20's, then my goodness what can we expect in her late 30's and 40's! You think people are gonna keep tuning into 106 & Park, to see your non-enthusiatic speeches like you don't understand English! Speech classes need to be taken by her in between rehearsals for her new tour...like now!

This is truly proof that these two women would've made BETTER SOUNDING ARTICULATE women had their parents really pushed for them to be PROPERLY EDUCATED. All the Jaguars and private schools in the world CANNOT TEACH YOU CLASS, and proper etiquette and gat damn common sense! They need some serious help with their rhetoric. I have to wonder if Beyonce, as lovely as she is, as talented as she is, will still be writing songs about being Bootylicious and Freakum Dresses and sweeping tha flo' wid it, when she's 42. READING expands your mind AND YOUR VOCABULARY. I suggest both she and Solange take up joining Oprah';s bookclub so they can better learn how to articulate themselves in interviews. And rest assured, when Matt quit his job he was trying his damndest to make sure those girls could dance and sing so that the money they made could GET THEM ALL out of a bad situation.

Wow, the Knowles family really think that they are above everybody in the business. Beyonce thinks she is the best thing that has happen to music and Solange, well what has she done. Mark my words, the Knowles family is going down and Beyonce will fall from grace and watch her career decline just like J-Lo.

I agree completely with Sam below! She needs to really work on her interviewing skills. Even when she's on Oprah, she appears not to be all there when speaking and answering simple questions like "How do prepare yourself for your movie roles?" Also, if you're the #1 chick in the game, why sing about it-you are not a rapper, your husband is! And if we're not mistaken, Taylor Swift and Alicia Keys sales numbers have been significantly higher than hers! Even though she has paid homage to divas before her, it has ended up backfiring! I don't think Beyonce ment any harm, this contreversy is just more signals to her camp that she needs to practice on her interviewing skills!

I'm a huge fan of both Beyonce and Janet. I have to agree that Janet is a better performer than Beyonce. You can tell that Beyonce and Solange are 'GHETTO'! Whether they grew up going to private schools and dad driving a Jag or not, the certainly don't act UPPER CLASS. I haven't seen Solange on anything since the cheerleading movie, Bring It On: All or Nothing??? How can she even comment??? That was very LOW CLASS of Beyonce to compare her family to the Jackson family. Beyonce definitely needs some interviewing skills. Solange needs to worry about taking care of her family. Maybe Beyonce will stick her in one of her videos or something...LOL!!

RIGHT PAT AND SAM. Yall took the words right outta ma mouth. First of all, Solange isn't even in this sit-eee-ation so she need to go sit her lil size 2 behind down. Next, Ma Gurl Beyonce need to shut her mouth. She gotta learn how to hold that tounge of hers or else she gon be in deeper ish. I swear, TRICKS(used losely) these days think they can go around sayin anything. WRONG AGAIN. I don't care if its the truth, a lie, or just somethin that slipped u don't say stuff like that out loud. It's disrespectful. Someone needs to learn to respect her elders. And Beyonce prolly AINT afraid to get cussed the hell out and told about herself by Ms. Jackson. She betta cut out that sh*t before Janet ring that alarm on her. That's ma gurl and everything but DAMN BEE, u can't say everything. THEM KNOWLES..........THEY'RE SUMTHIN TO DEAL WIT.

RIGHT PAT AND SAM. Yall took the words right outta ma mouth. First of all, Solange aint even in this sit-ee-ation so she needs to just sit her lil size 2 behind down.

Thats ma gurl but she really need to learn how 2 hold that tounge of hers or else she gon be in deeper ish. I swear, tricks these days, thinkin they can say anything. Take a seat somewhere. O and Beyonce prolly AINT scared to get cussed the hell out and told about herself by Ms. Jackson. SO DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!! THEM KNOWLES.........THEY SUMTHIN ELSE.

lol solange is a fool and she is real IMO.......she stands up for her sister no matter what and beyonce does the same and that's how family is suppose to be......and everybody is over reacting about beyonces comment she aint mean no harm..beyonce looks up to janet just look at last years grammys preformance (tina turner intro) and find some of her old interviews.....and s*** we all seen the jackson five family movie and if the info in the movie was not true the jacksons should have corrected it before the final cut..... -quote of the week- Solange "beyonce aint scared of janet" lol hahahaha

It's disrespectful - The Jacksons have done nothing to them and they are both (apparently) running their mouths like children. Just back off and stop being disrespectful ladies. How bout some Dignity Sol-Angel?....Damn. She needs to calm down and focus on her kid.

I agree with Sam all the way and keke below, has'nt anyone noticed over the years that we are not dealing with the most intellectual speaking singer! Although her songs are massive hits, her intellect also reflects in her songwriting as well! "Diva","Bootylicious","Bug-a-boo", "Single-ladies"! Granted they are the jams in the club, but if you actually listen to the words, it makes you wonder sometimes, "Damn, I could've wrote that!"

True have you all listened to B give an interview? Everytime she opens her mouth I just vomit a little. How can they her"Manager" spend so much time creatikng this image that lacks the ability to speak. She talented,beautiful,but beauty fades....

Although talented and the current, "IT GIRL", something needs to be done to prepare Beyonce on how to speak properly and what to say in these interviews! She may have not tried to do it intentonally, but she should've known that by her bringing up the Jackson's name in a negative tone, it would have been misunderstood and some mess what 've been started! Neither she or Janet has not released a offical statement on this! She is now singing that she is the "#1 chick in the game" as well, which is another topic! I have watched Beyonce over the years during several interviews and have determined that we are not dealing with the most intellectual diva! Miss America looks with a Ms. North Carolina/Jessica Simpson speech deprived persona! She needs to put in just as much time on practicing her interviewing as she has placed on her dance routines!

I SEE THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE. IS ISN'T ABOUT BEING SCARED. THE INDUSTRY LACKS RESPECT AND THE KNOWLES FAMILY IS GOING OVERBOARD.....

LOLOL, I FEEL YOU PAT. I MUST AGREE WITH YOU BUT LATOYA HAD SUCCESS EVEN OVERSEAS, SOLANGE WOULD BE REBE JACKSON!!!!

STOP HATING ON B CAUSE SHE IS THE SHIT AND MARRIED TO ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE US. YA'LL JUST MAD CAUSE YA'LL CANT GET OUT OF YA'LL BAD SITUATION

Beyonce and Solange were USED by their father. It's pathetic that Beyonce can't go anywhere without a bodyguard. I don't see Janet Jackson having that problem. Beyonce really made it with Jay Z's input. Matthew was there only for Destiny Child's days.

who or what the hell is a solange...after two albums, a shotgun wedding and baby..she's still stuck in the shadows of the most famous sibling...until she can become a superstar in her own rite as JANET did....she's the LATOYA of the knowles family...

Beyonce and Solange needs a reality check..there father pushed them for success also..dont forget taking them out of school so they can persue entertainment and ohhh yeah who are their managers??? their pops...yeah right... and he gets a hefty check doesnt he..at least Joe wasnt trying to bone Janets back up dancers..Joe beat some @$$ but he wasnt trying to get into some...plus as good as Beyonce is and as mediocre as Solange is their careers area result of Janet Jackson opening the doors..Let's remember it was Janet Jackson (CONTROL album) that sparked the knockoff's...the Britney Spears,Beyonce, etc, etc....at least the late AAYLIAH credited Janet as her inspiration to be an all around preformer.....paying respect and homage to the truth......

Memo to Solange: You dont have to be scared to get your ass whooped!! LOL

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTANG I HOPE JANET IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT LIL OL SOLANGE WHO CANNOT SING AND BEYONCE WHO BITES EVERYBODY STYLE AND NOT NEVER BE HER SELF. JANET IS SO HIGHER THAN THEM I WOULD SNAP MY COLLER ON THAT IF I WAS HER
