Beyonce’s voice was not flat… both women did a great job… They have different sounds and tones… If J-hud sounded like Beyonce you all would be saying she should have just done the movie with DC.

These two extremely talented African American women did their people proud.. They are the talk of hollywood… Concrats to J-Hud

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im very proud!!!!!!

Y da hell iz yall hatin 4? Beyonce & J. Hud r both gud.I bet all uv yall iz noin it 2 but dont wanna admit cuz yall iz *******. and #28 Rachel, shut the ****** hell up cuz I bet youz a white ass ***** thats tryna say dat Beyonce sucks u besta check yo self!My Opinion iz that B and J could both sing very well But Beyonce singz betta cuz her voice iz more soothin while Jennifer’s iz more loud and powerful.If n e niggaz iz on dis site talkin **** bout Beyonce and Jennifer then yall iz jus stupid cuz when yall c 2 African American chicz doin it big yall shood b proud not critizing erythin they do.We need 2 show dem white folks we’re gud.If you iz white and talkin **** bout n e uv dem yall cud go straight 2 hell cuz i aint neva seen a white person luc or sing az gud az Jennifer Hudson or Beyonce Knowles so think be4 u rite. I aint racest im b-in 4 rel wityall. Much luv 2 my girls i aint neva give up on yall

Reese Witherspoon is an actress…a kinda mediocre atress but still an actress… she was oK in Walk the line..

But Jennifer is not even an actress..and she wasn’t OK in Dreamgirls..she was annoying and screaming. And she’s fat and nobody taht is fat looks good on any dress..i bet who says she looks stunning is fat too.
I bet Jen will be like Halle Berry and Angelina..both won an Oscar very soon and then only made s*** when it comes to movies.

If you say Beyonce’s voice is flat you’ve got to say sth worse about Je’ns cause Beyonce’s voice is much better than Jen’s. It’s softer.

The truth is that Jen only won because of : Abigail is a kid, Rinko (which was the best by far) is japanese and Adriana is mexican..and they would never give the Oscar to somebody that is not american cause it doesn’t sell Vogues, Lifes, Oprahs and stuff.

Resheika, do you honestly expect anyone to spend time to solve your word puzzle? I would love to read what you have to say, but please, English please.

Reshieka:
i think it’s the lamest thing someone can say..only because they ‘re black doesn’t mean everyone needs to like them…
it’s the same thing if i said: brazilain people can not criticize (or whatever u write this) brazilian or latins..
taht’s just stupid.
If you don’t like..say it.. cause the other way is kinda of prejudice too.

“taht’s just stupid” is spelled THAT’S JUST STUPID…stupid.

“brazilain” is spelled BRAZILIAN.

Wrong again. Other Supporting actresses who won who were NOT American. the only one I am not sure about is Rita Moreno who I think is American but born in Puerto Rico. her goes Einstein…….. (they do pick non Americans as Oscar winning actresses)…:

2005 (78th) Rachel Weisz - The Constant Gardener as “Tessa Quayle”
2004 (77th) Cate Blanchett - The Aviator as Katharine Hepburn
2002 (75th) Catherine Zeta-Jones - Chicago as “Velma Kelly”
1998 Dame Judi Dench - Shakespeare in Love as Queen Elizabeth I
1996 Juliette Binoche - The English Patient as “Hana”
1989 Brenda Fricker - My Left Foot as “Mrs. Brown”
1977 Vanessa Redgrave - Julia as “Julia
1961 Rita Moreno - West Side Story as “Anita”
1957 Miyoshi Umeki - Sayonara as “Katsumi Kelly”

You’re an idiot.

Not surprised you’re a Jolie fan. Racist.

Reshieka????????

Please. You can do better than that. Great preternder. Imposter.

When Celine Dion hits high notes, they call it singing.

When Jennifer hits high notes, they call it yelling.

Bottom line, they’re both performing at Oscar ceremonies while you’re dumb asses are not. So happy for Jennifer!

Fug Face Maniston, gotta disagree. Yea a lot of those church ladies sing alike, but there is nothing like a great spiritual sung by a 300-pound black lady.

Also, some of the best singers sang in church - Aretha, Whitney… many more. In a sea of sameness, there are always some real unique pearls who emerge from the black church.

Black church singers:

Aretha Franklyn
Mavis Staples
Patti Labelle
Jennifer Holliday
Ruth Carter

And the absolute greatest and maybe fattest of them all, the voice of angels: MAHALIA JACKSON.

Screaming and hollering comes from a tradition of emotional expression comingr from African culture steeped in slave culture where slaves had only one outlet to express themselves: song and music.

They were allowed to beat drums one night: on Sundays. On those days, they gathered and sang and danced and hollered after 6 days of working for free in the hot sun.

It is part of a tradition.

When Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, sing they are influenced by that tradition.

Go buy a Mahalia Jackson album and listen to what a fat black woman can sing like and see how your soul can soar to heights you never thought it could.

Fug Face Maniston you sound as ignorant as Maniston’s fans who hate Jolie. I am surprised a Jolie fan would think like you. It’s a shame.

I don’t like Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson. Beyonce looks glamorous, but she fits right in with the ghetto crowd with her ugly boyfriend Jay Z. Beyonce can sing but she tries too hard to be a diva with her “forced” quivering voice and cartoon-character attitude.

Hudson is too… ordinary. She does not stand out. I agree a little with comments above about Hudson. She can sing, but there are too many nonfamous black female singers in church who sound just like her. Her voice is not unique.

I hated Dreamgirls. Yes, I said it!!!! I was bored. Please get some more fine black men in Hollywood–fast!!. Jamie Foxx is giving me a nightmare headache. He’s everywhere. There are no good-looking black men in movies these days. Denzel Washington is the last of a dying breed. Such a shame!

Ha-ha! Eddie Murphy did not win. Serves that turkey right. He probably only hooked up with Tracy Edmonds to have a pretty lady on his arm for this event. He’s so pretentious. Now he’ll dump her and go back to his street-corner-walking trannies. He’s a cad. He messed up his marriage. It should have been his wife on his arm since she put up with his cheating butt for so long. With five kids, if he couldn’t take his wife, he could have taken his oldest daughter or a family member. Certainly, don’t take a new woman with you to this important event. Truly disgusted in him. He can’t pay to get an Oscar after his pitiful behavior.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you call a mogul worth 300 million plus “ghetto” then I’d like to move to that ghetto please!

I guess black women have a hard time setting high standards for themselves.

I admire Oprah for the good she’s done for others, but when she starts talking about being God’s child and God this and God that, I get disgusted because she’s never been married and has been shacking up with Stedman for like 20 years. Her latest thing is calling those African students “her girls.” Pleeaaase! If she wanted to be a mother, she should have had her own babies or at least legally adopt them. That makes more sense than calling these girls her girls when she is not fully responsible for them.

Beyonce tries hard, so I will give her that. She’s cute and has a voice, but she’s lacking in a lot of things, mostly common sense. Dating Jay Z? I’m sorry but that just ruins the picture for for me. Date an athlete or some other black businessman. Not an ugly ghetto rapper. I cannot get her actions out of my mind. To me, she’s just a regular black girl with a pretty face and a bit of talent. Nothing special.

Let me make myself clear. I can’t stand rappers! Especially, anyone calling himself a rapper these days. Years ago it wasn’t so bad. I don’t understand Janet Jackson either with that Dupri midget. I don’t care how much money these men are worth. Their choice of music and videos is disgusting, a detriment to the black community and degrading to all women as a whole.

First off, I’m know ones fan
and what do you think, everyone who like Jolie thinks alike? [lmfao] STFU

All those Women you named all equal one thing = FAT

Its a fact that most fat people have HEAVIER voices! any Idiot would know that. If you cant tell if a person is on the heavy side from their voice then you need your ears checked.
When Jennifer sings she sounds like a fat black women, I was in a sports bar [Black sports bar] the other night. with over 50 people saying the same thing. I wouldn’t expect a white person to understand. its a black thing, I can have Jokes on Jennifer’s fat black a$$ because i’m black. lmao

P.S - she has nothing on Beyonce, B murdered her on stage.

Whitney Houston = doesn’t have a heavy voice

Mariah Carey = [wtf] doesn’t have a deep voice at all. I dont know what that whole high pitched thing is she does now.

Christina Aguilera = sounds great, and she [has a black voice] but I don’t recall saying she didn’t sound good. or saying anything about her period.

You typed all of that, but I don’t understand what your point was, I don’t think anybody does. You just made yourself look like a fool. you replied but didnt make any points what so ever [lmao]

God bless you child, change your name and stop over fresh, lol.

By the way, Who Is Yaz?!? Shouldnt you have mentioned someone who people actually heard of, or better yet, sells records

Andre, youre a bit too blinded by a Beyonce love. It’s obvious. Whatever you say is so biased but not completely untrue. Keep it constructive. Beyonce and JHud is not in a feud. So dont get one sided. Dont turn into a Matthew Knowles haha.

Beyonce is a great singer. Polished. Professional. She knows how to deliver her songs. She didnt need to compete with Jennifer coz she know she’s good. If she did try to outshine J Hud, it would seem very unprofessional. Jennifer has a great voice. Still a little unpolished but she can churn moments of greatness from time to time. Give her a few albums, more songs of her own, great writers to work with…she will blossom. I still remember how she gave me chills when she did Weekend In New England. I knew she had potential. She wont be a superstar like B, but expect a lasting career in the vein of Chaka Khan and Gladys…thats what she want anyways..

Jen deserved the award from Dreamgirls. She was truly good in that movie. Its not easy to be emotive with songs coz u get carried away singing. JHud WAS acting and singing. And you believed her. Adriana Baraza was good and so was Rinko Kikuchi. But their parts are much smaller. Dominated by one great scene each. But J Hud carried the movie. Beyonce was a decent actress in Dreamgirls, but she wasnt mind blowing. She needs to try a more dramatic role that is less about her beauty but what she can do. With a great coach and willingness, who knows maybe she could be good.

I would be so embarrassed to be white right now because you are definitely NOT BLACK for no one who is ,including myself, would go through the trouble of trying to sound so ignorant and write in absolutely contrived vernacular like that on a blog NOT even ZORA NEALE HURSTON!

That was a great singing montage. All ladies were stunning and it was an absolute upset that Melissa Ethridge won out of all those great songs from Dreamgirls.

Irish Girl @ 02/27/2007 at 7:20 am

I have to laugh at everyone saying Beyonce hates Jennifer, and vica versa. I highly doubt it. The tabloids lie. They looked great singing together at the Oscars, very comfortable in each other’s company.

I was disappointed that Djimon Hounsou didn’t win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He totally deserved to win it, he was amazing in Blood Diamond, his performance reduced me to tears. Alan Arkin was just okay in Little Miss Sunshine, his peformance wasn’t Oscar worthy. Nor was Eddie Murphy’s peformance, so I am glad he didn’t win.

I agree with the previous posters who said Reese Witherspoon didn’t deserve the Best Actress Oscar for Walk The Line. I like her, and have seen a lot of her movies, her peformance was just okay, nothing spectacular. The only person in that movie who deserved an Oscar was Joaquin Phoenix, he should have won the Best Actor Oscar.

The Departed winning best film, it was the correct choice, the other films in the category were not Oscar Worthy. Little Miss Sunshine - very overhyped.
