I don`t give a f**k about all this and that bullshitting about who is better,i prefer Lauryn,but i like Beyonce,i`m not good with numbers but i also don`t visit every site so i could prove something...all i know is that Lauryn won 5 grammys and that Beyonce`s wins are basically fake for me.

I totally agree with it 'It's so hard to be yourself in this shitstem!!! Like lauryn said in her song "i Get out": "I don't accept your system... I won't protect your systm... The system is a joke". Beyonce still wants to fit in! ' well done Sofia! everyone who is in the music business wants to fit in. the list is very long and the list that has the names of musicians who wants to get out of this box is too short!

Yeah but the gold isn`t everything that shines... I agree. However, by the end of the day people will always compare the number of album sold, awards won etc... sad but true. with that said, i think it's time for L, to release her album, and show the world that she still got it.

check Beyonce smiling and enjoyin' the Fugees' performance at BET awards (who has the video) so all these threads are empty and have no sence they are 2 good artists and make good music, everybody choose to his taste, but there is no argument between them i guess People invent everything just cuz these 2 artists have really different styles.......and that's a cause for bla bla bla bla who is better......

That video is on youtube. But it's all for the cameras. Behind the scenes we don't really know how Beyonce acts and feels about Lauryn

Beyonce didn't say anything BAD about Lauryn. She said that Lauryn is one of her heroes. She was shocked (like all of us), when Lauryn shaved her head and turned her back on fame.
I mean, Lauryn was supposed to play Deena on "dreamgirls", beyonce got the part, and now she;s headed for an Oscar. Talk about turning your back on fame.

I am a big fan of Lauryn Hill and my prayers continue to go out to her and her family. I think we all could learn a lesson about faith and being grounded from Mrs. Hill. Also when others make comments on things they are not really familiar with we tend to say the wrong thing. Lets all learn from this woman who is a icon.

First, like Looking For The Truth said: Beyonce has always been a huge fan of Lauryn's. She met Lauryn when Wyclef took her failed No, No, No record and turned it into a HUGE hit. Clef is responsible for her career. And in that time, she met Lauryn a number of times. To this day her and Alicia Keys are still huge fans of Lauryns.
Second, Beyonce has said nothing but good about Lauryn up to this point. And this article was taken way out of context. The writer is a superficial sensationalist journalist who is editing things to make them seem like Beyonce is hating on Lauryn. If you actually read Beyonce's ACTUAL quote, she simply says Lauryn's story was tragic, and explains that when so much stuff is being thrown at you, you can easily fail. Nowhere in her ACTUAL quote does she say "I'll never lose myself like lauryn". Writers create headlines like that to make buzz just like what this thread has become.
And please don't hate on Beyonce this much. Beyonce is only acting like a sleeper because THAT'S WHAT SELLS. If you dont do what the industry makes you do, YOU WILL NOT SELL RECORDS OR BECOME FAMOUS. Some people want it so bad they're willing to contradict their own beliefs. It's her parents fault. They've been breeding her for stardom since she was a babygirl. Read her biography. She doesn't know how to say no to them.
HOWEVER, Beyonce's voice is incredible beautiful. Luther Vandross, one of the greatest male singers of modern music ever, invited her to perform a duet, and it is generally held that her version of "The Closer I Get to You" with Luther is his best duet, even better than the screamfest with Mariah from 93. When Beyonce is being a true artist, her skills are impeccable.
Lauryn herself said in the Trace Magazine, "I always thought Beyonce had a beautiful voice".
There is no beef between Beyonce and Lauryn. The beef comes when:
1. Writers and editors create f*g headlines and tags designed to fool you and 2. You buy into it and start putting Lauryn on an idolistic pedastol and calling Beyonce a sleeper, when neither of us have walked a day in either of their shoes.
Consider:
"Could it be you had me as an idol, worshipped above measure"- Lauryn, 2002 BBC interview
"I think Lauryn Hill is a genius. There is something more than Lauryn Hill when she is singing"- Beyonce
"I always thought Beyonce's voice was beautiful"- Lauryn Hill
Be careful not to create buzz and news. Some of the hateful comments towards Beyonce and the idolistic worship of Lauryn is exactly what writers like the one who wrote this article is after.

First, like Looking For The Truth said: Beyonce has always been a huge fan of Lauryn's. lol I didn't say that tho i agree with you!!! but as pras said - CAN'T STOP THE SHINING i''ll explain as an example I'll take one thing that happened to me yesterday although we know that lauryn isn't a racist (from that interview etc...).....yesterday i was .....i happened to play chess in yahoo......my opponent was from England........hahaaa (dunno how - we started talkin' of music)))he asked me what music i like and when i wrote "Fugees" - he mentioned lauryn hill and wrote - "are u BLACK?" - i said - "no, why are u askin' me that'?" - he said - "cuz Lauryn is a racist" and wrote down that thing about ........my kids better starve than a white guy buy my album ...... loooooooooooooool ///////but i don't blame him........it's natural for humans-----unfortunately people spread rather negative than positive (most of the time they aren't even sure in what they are talkin' about and that sucks) but they will always TALK nobody can stop it there will always be fakers out there the only thing we can do - to get things right ourselves and don't mess up peace
