Beyonce did a tribute to Michael Jackson

I don't mean to bring negativity, but you all should know Beyonce has said several negative things about the Jackson family in the past. One of them is:
"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... I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation"
Beyonce said this during an interview with Elle magazine. I think the statement was incredibly disrespectful and caused a lot of fallout for her. Rightfully so. The statement was directly aimed at Janet. Janet is said to have responded with, 'Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do.'
Because of the fallout, Beyonce has been careful to smile and pretend like she is a huge Jackson fan and even wanted to do a tribute a the BET awards this year. (Supposedly the Jackson family nixed that idea because of her previous statements.)
If you have a hard time believing Bey would say something mean one minute then nice the next or vice versa, remember the Taylor Swift incident? People were hailing her as a saint for giving Taylor her time to speak at the VMA's. Beyonce later came out several weeks later and admitted she knew Kanye was going to do it ahead of time and that 'he was just standing up for true art' or something to that effect. When this started to generate a tiny buzz on the blogs, the story was buried. Just like the Taylor incident, I'm sure she did this to generate good press for herself more than to honor Michael.
My point in all this is to say, I think it is perfectly fine to appreciate her performance of the tribute, but please consider the source. It may or may not be sincere, so be careful who you praise and venerate. I am not a Beyonce hater. I enjoy a lot of her songs and loved her last tour before Sasha Fierce. I just don't like a lot of the things she says and does. She was one of the people responsible for putting down Michael so she gets the side eye.

Mariah ain't gonna take it lying down

Mariah answered Eminem's disrespectful statements with her cut "Obsessed". Eminem came back with a "Warning," now Mimi's singing about the tears of a "Clown" a few years back make a little more sense You've got to hand it to Mimi and Nick. Em may have underestimated the two "squares." The two of them have, more than anyone else out there, had the rocks to stand up for themselves not once, not twice, but three times and counting. Eminem better shut up after this round before he gets blinded by fairy dust and speared by a unicorn horn.

"Clown" by Mariah Carey

I should’ve left it at, how ya doin’

I should’ve left it at I like your music too,

andI should’ve never called you back

When you pursued me

I should’ve never given youMy fucking two way

I should’ve never listened To your woeful stories

The ones I’m sure you Told a thousand times before me

You should’ve never intimated We were lovers

When you know very well We never even touched each other
Who’s gonna love you whenIt all falls down,

and Who’s gonna love you when Your bankroll runs out

Who’s gonna care when the novelty’s over

When the star of theShow isn’t you anymore

Nobody cares when the tears of a clown Fall down

Nobody cares when the tears of a clownFall down
I gotta break it to ya delicately, dummy

Takin’ my g5 twenty minutes wasn’t nothin’

But I guess you wouldn’t know That’s the way I roll

Consequently now your ego’s fully Overblown

You don’t want the world to know

That you’re just a puppet show

And the little boy inside

Often sits at home alone

And cries, cries, cries, cries(Boo hoo. Who?)
Who’s gonna love you When it all falls down,

andWho’s gonna love you When your bankroll runs out

(When your bankroll runs out)

Who’s gonna care when the novelty’s over

When the star of the

Show isn’t you anymore

Nobody (Nobody)
Your pain is so deep rooted

What will your life become

Sure you hide it

But you’re lost and lonesome

Still just a frail shook one
Who’s gonna love you When it all falls down,

and(Tell me who’s gonna love you?

Who? I’d like to know)

Who’s gonna love you whenYour bankroll runs out

(If you didn’t have nothing)

Who’s gonna care when the novelty’s over

(Who, who’d still be there)

When the star of the show isn’t you anymore

(Nobody, nobody, nobody, oh)

Nobody cares when the tears of a clown

(There ain’t nobody baby)Fall down…

(Bullies in the schoolyard)

(When they fall they fall hard)

Nobody cares when the tears of a clown

(Yeah… so you)Fall down

(Better think twice, better play nice)

(’Cause who’s gonna be there)
Who’s gonna love you

when it all falls down,

and(When the jokes on you)

Who’s gonna love you

when your bankroll runs out

(A marionette show)

Who’s gonna care

when the novelty’s over

(Who’s makin’ you move though)

When the star of the show isn’t you anymore

(I know what kills you slow)

Nobody cares when the tears of a clown

(I’m gonna keep your little)Fall down

(Secret though, mmmm, hmmmm)

(And you know that I know)

Nobody cares when the tears of a clown

(You’re no superhero)Fall down…

(I guess your mamma never told you

that what goes around comes around. Pow)

Eminem continues his Obsession

Eminem did not take kindly to Mariah's diss video "Obsessesed" (which she subsequently backed off of and said was not about him). He has recorded a response diss song called "The Warning." Nick are you scared? Are you gonna let him talk about your woman like that?

Nia Long Disses Beyonce

Nia Long, star of Love Jones and Disappearing Acts, sounded off on fake actresses in the U.K. magazine Pride.

"If you’re a singer not an actress, you should sing. If you’re a rapper, you should rap,” Nia told the magazine.
In the July issue cover story writer Jessica Huie asked Nia what she thought about Beyonce's performance in ‘Obsessed.’

“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes,’” she replied.
