all4U Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 That boderline creepy instagram picture surrounded by flowers and that odd virginal veil over her head as a way of "announcing to the world" that beyonce is pregnant/... who does she think she is?it's tacky and she needs to get over herself.It makes me appreciate the fact that Janet wants no intrusions and wishes to remain as private as possible, with only her music being her public endeavours. - classy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCat1989 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I think that Beyonce is trying to prove to the world that she is indeed pregnant. So many people believe that she used a surrogate the first time. Which I always believed she carried her first child. A lot of Beyonce fans claim she isn't bothered by those rumors but this photo shoot proves she cares and she cares a lot. She is damn near nake in all of them. Beyonce is trying to reach that Mj level of fame and this is just another way to do it. Not gonna lie the first pic was okay but when I saw all the others I was a bit turned off. She is making her pregnancy a spectacle. Had Janet not been on tour....I don't think we would have even known about the baby until after he was born. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Eagle Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 You really made a whole thread in the "All About Janet" section of the forum to say why you don't like a pregnancy photo of another artist? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to comment along the lines of that but that would just fuel the fireYes... some people are so obsessed with Beyoncé they don't even know it.

DasSad Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 She got so much flack for being fake pregnant last time. I dont blame her for doing it. She is a business woman at the end of the day and lets not pretend we wouldn't be excited if janet did some sort of family photo. Maybe not like this but some kind of photo. Beyonce stays private too. She is still able to control what she wants out there. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it.Janet's 20 YO shoots were tacky... but not as tacky as Beyonce's photo shoot featuring Blue No hypocrisy. No, 20 Y.O.'s pics were more tacky and served no purpose. She was just flaunting her body because she wanted to sell sex and wasn't shaped like a minivan like she was the year prior. Nude pregnancy shoot have been around for ages and there is nothing wrong with a pregnant woman showing her nude body. And you have to be completely naive to think Blue hasn't seen her mother nude hundreds of times. She sucked on her breast for god's sake. You act as if Blue will be traumatized by this or something. It's extremely hypocritical for Janet fans to object to a woman showing her body, given the fact that your favorite artist was blacklisted for a naked body part. And this hypocrisy on Superbowl Sunday makes it even more laughable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter how many people double tapped an image.Nudity has been around since the beginning of timeBeyonce isn't the first woman to do a tacky pregnant photo shoot... and won't be the last I didn't say there was something wrong with her tacky photo shoot or Janet's 20 YO era. There's nothing wrong with either but both are extremely tacky... Beyoncé being more gross bc she included her daughter in it who didn't improve the awkwardness of the shoot.i honestly don't care about what Blue has seen, heard, felt... That child ain't my concern. Bless her heart but no one here gives a shit and your narrative is a bit off topic. You went from beyonce's tacky pregnancy announcement to the psychological damage that Blue Ivy doesn't suffer from to Janet's historic Super Bowl performance. Calm ya self. There's no hypocrisy It all boils down to, one was to promote a product... the other... well idk what Janet was thinking. Probably thinkin "FUCK YOU" to the prude country Edited February 5, 2017 by Game XXIX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, Blue is a child. She has no say in where or how she takes pics. Just like when you were a child and your mom made you take pics and you did so with no questions asked. Stop using Blue as a scapegoat. You know her being in that shoot isn't the problem you all are having. You all just don't like Beyoncé and you just hate whenever she gets attention that isn't negative, which is most of the time. And what product is Beyoncé promoting? Her unborn twins are not a product. Janet, on the other hand, was promoting a product when she did those spreads, 20 Y.O. Judging by the sales, it didn't help much, but that's neither here nor there.

Illi Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So basically you're upset that Beyoncé's photo has gotten a great reception and lots of attention? Got it.Where did you read or find that I was upset? I've never stated my opinion on the matter on here. But here is it:I think most people are happy about her announcement. New life coming in this world is a good thing, especially if it's gonna be in good hands. That said some people weren't crazy over how it was handled. Beyonce knows every time she make an announcement she breaks the internet and she used the moment to do so. it's not a good or bad thing imo but some people are turned off by how calculated she was about it. Personally the maternal pics weren't my favorite but meh. I personally don't understand my some people act like they are every gonna be within 100 feet of their children anytime of their life. People need to learn to stop living vicariously through the life of others. That said, just because some people have some critical thoughts on the situation, that doesn't make anyone jealous. As for as Janet's pregnancy, I'm happy with the coverage. She made the announcement, the media and the public gave out blessings and she went to enjoy her pregnancy. None of this crazy stuff. Janet wanted her peace and she pulled all stops assure it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you loved it then cool ??Correct, but it's only a problem when it comes to certain celebrities.And you obviously didn't understand the photoshoot. It, at least appears to be, an homage to Greek mythology, particularly Demeter, the goddess of....wait for it....fertility. Where did you read or find that I was upset?

Janet wanted her peace and she pulled all stops assure it. What does this even MEAN? She announced her pregnancy on the first day of Black History Month. She's celebrating her Blackness. The only ppl who will have a problem with it are racists. And your envy is showing. One artist announced their pregnancy via a YouTube video, the other on Instagram. Seems like both pregnancies were announced through social media, so both artists should receive the same treatment. The only difference? One artist is Beyonce. Ppl went crazy over how it was handled? How the public responds to an announcement is not the fault of the artist. So what is this "crazy stuff" you're talking about? A photoshoot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
