Am I the only person who thinks this?


Am I the only person around that thinks Beyonce Knowles is the worst actress in the world at this point. When I first saw Goldmember (which tooh years off my life because it was so horrible) i cringed when ever she opened her pie hole. She has absoutly no acting ability or stage presence. She is the poster child for what is wrong with the movie and music business.

I totally agree with you. She is a beautiful singer, but she has to take some acting lessone. God's gives you one gift, don't try and create another one, because you think you can.

reply

Who says God only gives us one gift? I think she can sing and act. There are some people who can act, sing and dance.

reply

To me Beyonce Knowles can act and sing very well,just because she is not a dramatic actor doesn't mean she can't act.

You are one of only ones probably. Beyonce is a very talent, beautiful person. Her music is her life. I thought she was wonderful in the movie, she will grow when she gets other roles. I don't think you can sit here and say she's the worst actress there ever was because she works very hard to be where she is, and she's very awesome in it!

Being a loyal fan, doesn't make her a good actress...sorry.

reply

It doesn't make her the worst either, if you look at a lot of the actresses and actors today...some of them aren't the best. But it's different roles that make them improve.

I don't think we should have to sit through these movies waiting for them to improve. If they want to act, go to class for it. Don't rely on "star power" to get you talents you don't posess. That's my theory.

reply

Some people rely on "star power" and that's their choice. It all comes to money. I mean it's the celebrity's business and you don't have to sit through it if you don't want to. It's a free country and Americans can purchase any movie they choose.

I agree with all the above comments in some ways. Beyonce is an extremely talented human being. And to the ones that think she's a crappy actress - at least give her the credit for giving it a try.

reply

For real, Beyonce is trying her best and she's extremely talented. She's never harmed anyone of you so why are you insulting her?

AGREED IN FULL. I KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS BLESSED ME WITH MORE THAN ONE GIFT AND I THANK HIM FOR IT AND I AM CONTENT WITH WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO. I ENJOY WATCHING PEOPLE WHO CAN DO WHAT I CAN'T DO AND HOPE THEY WILL ACCEPT WHAT I CAN DO THAT THEY CAN'T. BEYONCE IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS FOR A YOUNG GENERATION. HOWEVER I AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT NO SHE IS NOT A GREAT ACTRESS WHEREAS SHE DOES OK FOR A FIRST OR EVEN SECOND TRY. I AGREE ACTUALLY WITH EVERYONE IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS MESSAGE FINDS YOU ALL IN GOOD SPIRIT.
-P.S. I HAVE QUESTIONS I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO...
-1.WOULD YOU WATCH BEYONCE'S VIDEOS WHILE LITTLE KIDS WERE AROUND YES OR NO?
-2.DO YOU THINK SHE IS A GOOD SINGER?
-3.DO YOU AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT SHE IS A GOOD WRITER?
-4.WHY ARE YOU A BEYONCE FAN?
-5.NAME THE TOP 5 FEMALE SINGERS OF ALL TIME.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MY ANSWERS ?
-1.NO I WOULD NOT AND I WOULDN'T WATCH THEM ALONE EITHER. WHY ? BECAUSE I THINK IF I WANT MY KIDS TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO PORTRAY WHEN YOU ARE IN FRONT OF PEOPLE IT IS BEING FULLY CLOTHED WHILE STILL MAINTAINING YOUR BEAUTY AND CLASS. ALSO I DON'T WANT (IF I HAD ONE) A TWO YEAR OLD RUNNING TO ME TALKING ABOUT BOOTY NOTHIN ! LOL
-2.ABSOLUTELY ! YES ! YES ! YES ! GIRL CAN BLOW ! WHEN SHE AND THE OTHERS SANG AMAZING GRACE ALONG TIME AGO IT TOUCHED MY SPIRITS AND WISH SHE HAD STAYED WITH GOSPEL MUSIC. SHE SOUDS BETER.
-3.ES ! CAN'T ARGUE THERE EITHER. I LEARNED THAT SHE HAS AN AMAZING GIFT WITH WRITING MUSIC AS WELL AS SINGING.
-4.I AM NOT A FAN (DEPENDS ON HOW U DEFINE FAN) BUT I LIKE HER VOICE BECAUSE OF HER RANGE AND THE WAY SHE CHROMES AND THE STRENGTH IN HER VOCALS.
-5. (A) MAHALIA JACKSON (GOSPEL)

True she isn't the best actress in the world, she isn't exactly academy award yet but I think you're over reacting.

Agreed. Besides, Beyonce acts a lot better than some peeps I don't want to name.

reply

she's young!..this is her second or third film gig..she's working with a acting coach now as a matter of fact..NOBODY is really experience when they first come out..give her room to grow without hating theese are just early ages...and then ppl turn around and say AALIYAH is a great actor in "romeo must die"..this is all about yall hatred for BEYONCE..face it

reply

am i the only person who thinks this board is full of post titles beginning with the words 'am i the only person who thinks...'?

reply

Actually, 95% of the reviews I read on "The Fighting Temptations" said that Beyonce was the highlight of the film and after watching it myself, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I thought she acted very well, probably better than Cuba and that's something. She is far from the worst actress in the world and she is just getting better and better. I look forward to seeing her become a more confident actress with more challenging roles.

reply

I thought Beyonce did a pretty good job. Of course there's always room for improvement and Beyonce took that fact in stride, improving a lot from earlier roles.

reply

After reading most of posts on this subject I noticed that almost everyone has said she is a great singer. I agree. But did it occur to you that about 80% of the time during this movie Beyonce was singing. hmmm just something to think about.

reply

I thought Beyonce had fit the role like the final piece of a jigsaw puzzle. This movie accentuated her strength, vis-a-vis her singing. My biggest fear was the movie was going to center around her singing voice. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I realized that the director realized that it was movie first, music second. Beyonce seemed very comfortable with that. I think in time Beyonce will get better and then we'll really see her shine.

And for those who doubt me, think about this. She's already a better actress than Britney Spears or Mariah Carey, right?

reply

beyonce is a great singer. as an actress shes better then mariah cariey [sp] but she isnt that good and neither is this movie

I would agree with you, but, I think Whitney Houston has her beat for the worst actress position. I think she is a great singer, but she should leave acting to Cuba!!

reply

Just because she has worked very hard to get where she is doesn't mean she can act. I like her as a singer but not as an actress.
