Oscar Statue

This is my official warning to all the singers out there who want to try this acting thing out for a role. Put down your script and listen closely.

Just because you can sang (I mean sang, not sing) does not mean you should act.

You heard me. You don’t want to get caught up in the next Glitter. Here’s a list of five singers who shouldn’t act ever (based on example):

Here’s some Black Hollywood that can act:

    WHy do people keep hating on Beyonce

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BeautifulSun1/ BeautifulSun1

    Beyonce canNOT act…no hate intended. I’m sorry Jay-is-back25, but the truth hurts.

    @ beautiful
    Some people here think THEIR opinion are the ONLY valid ones. I agree with you in saying Beyonce can’t act. Don’t mean I hate Beyonce,but I think that list is pretty dead on.
    BTW. Everybody knows that MY opinion is a statement of fact and not so much as an “opinion”. …and I change my mind,I hate Beyonce.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DAREALRECKLESS/ DAREALRECKLESS

    nigguh fukc your opinion!!!!! beyonce made 84 million this past year. you think she reading your comment and crying?! lmao
    stupid muthafukca!

    lol how did I know Beyonce would be the first name to pop up. Thats because yes, she is beautiful and talented and I love her with all my heart, one of her biggest fans…the girl cant act though. I always try to give her the benefit though on each movie, her acting doesnt come across as natural. Now as far as Jlo I beg to differ, she did a great job in Selena and Enough. Rhianna, come on lets give the girl a chance. And Mya isnt that bad, she is just soft spoken.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/aksaboutme/ aksaboutme

    totally agree on these all i mean give people chances who can actually act on that

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/freyja/ freyja

    I totally agree that Beyonce can not act and she sales movies on her name alone not because of her acting skills. Now Jlo was an actress (and dancer) before she was a singer and Selena was the role that really introduced her to the world. Yes she has had some bad movies but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the girl got talent on the big screen

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/M1lleM1lle/ M1lleM1lle

    I have to agree..it’s the other way around with J-LO..she shouldn’t be “singing” and just stick to acting cause she can’t sing to save her life while on the other hand..she’s a very good actress.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/shorii_kiikii/ shorii_kiikii

    I agree with the list except for the J.Lo part. I personally think that if it wasn´t for the role she played as Selena (RIP), she wouldn´t be the person she is right now! She´s famous or whatever only because Selena passed but if not.. SHIIIIIT!!! Like I was saying, she should just act and dance…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1sexymona/ 1sexymona

    RIHANNA HASN’T EVEN STARRED IN ANYTHING JUST YET, SO IT’S UNFAIR TO HAVE HER ON THE LIST.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jordan_Mom/ Jordan_Mom

    J.Lo is more of an actress (i.e. “Enough”). She just needs to stop singing. Beyonce is definitely terrible when it comes to acting (i.e. “Fighting Temptations”, “Obsessed”, “Austin Powers”, and etc.), she needs to stay in her lane and JUST SANG! I’m going to give Rihanna a chance, but if her acting is as horrible as her singing then she needs to just do some print work/modeling.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Mr_Desmond_J/ Mr_Desmond_J

    You put 50 Cent in the same category with Denzel, Morgan Freeman, Halle, Terrence Howard and the other very good or great actors/actresses?????!!!!!?????

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    They should add..

    Whitney Houston- bodyguard/WTE
    Brandy-I know what you did….
    Monica- her stint on ‘living single’
    Mary J Blige- prison song
    Ne-Yo- stomp the yard
    Usher- In the mix

    The list goes on and on….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jameel_91/ Jameel_91

    Okay For One, Beyonce Did a DAMN Good Job in Obsessed.!
    So Stop Hatin’.!
    She’s a Good Actress, in General. . . Okay Moving On.

    J. Lo?
    Are You Serious?
    Actin’ is Whats She Was Birthed to Do.
    She is a Good Actress Selena, Enough, Maid in Manhattan, Monster in Law.
    All of Them She Did AMAZING Jobs In.

    She’s tha Only Entertainer That I Kno That Can Pull Off Bein an Actress and Becomin a Singer and Not FAILING.

    & She Was Actin’ First, So She Shouldn’t Even Be In This Category. .

    But Either Way Hands Down, She’s Tha Best.!

    Moving On. . .

    Lolz I Agree With Why was Ashanti in Resident Evil?, Cause I Said Tha Same Damn Thing.

    Her Acting Was ALL OFF, and Her Dying Scene Was Just Xtra Fake. .
    They Could’ve Kept Her Out of It.

    && I Hope Rihanna Shows Us, That She’s a Good Actress.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lildtorrey/ lildtorrey

    you are officially a hater.
    j.lo and beyonce shouldn’t act, hmmmm???
    you are officially a hater.

    I could tell you why people keep hating on beyonce..
    Instead of us black women celebrating another black women because she is so successful and she overcame the obstacles that were placed to deter her, there is the opposite going on. The woman cannot be stopped nor will she topple.

    I cannot speak for every one, but I am especially proud of Beyonce and any other minority who comse on the stage and tries to defy the odds.

    Keep doin your thang B!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/terran78/ terran78

    Rhianna ugly clown ass can’t and SHOULDN’T ACT, end of story!!!…….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    This list has zero credibility with J Lo on it. I also disagree about Beyonce. I didn’t see obsessed, but I thought she did a pretty good job in Carmen: A Hip Hopera. I refuse to watch anything the other 3 appears in, unless its’ a cameo.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SWEEEET-N-CUTE1/ SWEEEET-N-CUTE1

    Beyonce’s performance in Obsessed was generic she should have left that one alone. Her roles in Dream Girls and Cadillac Records were good but she didn’t have to step put of character too much.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/stfu_dot_com/ stfu_dot_com

    Why everybody so mad cuz somebody called Beyonce out for the actress she really is lol? She can’t act. Just cuz she’s been in roles where she’s had to play the pretty girl who can sing doesn’t boost her credibility it just shows she was smart and played it safe SOOOOOOOOOO BEYONCE STANS PLEASE TAKE A DEEP BREATH, CALM DOWN, AND HAVE A SEAT :-). J Lo damn sure can’t sing so she should stick to acting. Rhianna can’t sing either, but my question is will you be able to understand anything she says if she has a heavy speaking role cuz hearing her speak made me cringe.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_Jah_/ _Jah_

    Well.. 1… They called out 6 actresses… not 5.. (These folks REALLY need to proof read and re-proof read their work before they display it to the World….) And 2.. I honestly think that Beyonce, J. Lopez, and M. Carey are good actresses… now Ashanti….mmm…she wasn’t even a good singer… yet alone a decent actress… and Rhianna… she’s just a little lost and confused… She didn’t do a great job when she was on that little Cheerleader movie… She should of stopped then….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TRIPLETHREAT718/ TRIPLETHREAT718

    Rihanna might do good she is full of “personality” / “character”.. speaking of roles .. Cant wait to see “Takers” ummmmmmmmmmmmm such a great looking cast Iidris Elb, Michael Ealy ,Zoe saldana, T.I and of course….

    Chris brownnnnn ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm (sorry my inner groupie-ness almost came out…lmao)

    This is a horrible and funny article blog foreal.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexyMoneyMaker/ SexyMoneyMaker

    Did somebody say Idris Elba?? that is one sexy man…ok not everybody who can sing can act or vice versa, but there are plenty of them who can make the crossover with ease. Lets just give them props for tryng even if it does’nt go well (in our opinions) Their brave for even attempting so oh what the hell…go for it, if u think u can maybe u can.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/geode07/ geode07

    @ DAREALRECKLESS
    Just because Beyonce made money last year doesn’t mean she could act. I realize that the only way to input your rhetoric is to jump off topic and even then you had to show your ignorance. Seeing as how you are advertising for an on-line mate suggest that the women who personally know you in your area finds you as silly as you appear on this thing. As for me,I don’t think you are as silly as you are gay. ANY man whose profile is accompanied by music playing in the background should be inspected and scrutinized for his sexuality. IF you must try and insult me,please use some sort of intelligence beyond the Neanderthal and visceral thought processes that dominates your psyche.
    See. THAT is the way you insult people.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Esoteric_Dredz/ Esoteric_Dredz

    Blogs like this are what happen when niggas don’t do their homework. J’Lo was pretty damn good in Selena…Mariah did a fine job in Precious.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/georgemichael/ georgemichael

    Just wish producers would quit putting in people that cant act. I think its a pretty big slap to people that actually have worked on their acting and do it for a living. I guess they think people will go to a movie because their favorite singer is in it and who knows if they are right. I saw a preview for a movie the other day that had a pretty solid cast until I saw TI was in it. I admit TI was not horrible in ATL but from the preview of his new movie, he is way above his head and talks like a robot in the new film with Idris Ilba.

    i like beyonce as an actress…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Chocolate_Gul/ Chocolate_Gul

    Im glad u all put Beyonce on here because shes a horrible actress but I did like her in Cadillac Records. If you like her acting, you have bad taste lol! JLO started off as an actress and I think she is pretty decent as one. IDK about her singing though… trash.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/StickUP_Kid/ StickUP_Kid

    yea beyonce and ashanti certainly cannot act

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/C_4U2NV/ C_4U2NV

    6 people.. Fantasia!

    Beyonce_ Mediocre, i wont say she CANT act but she is definetly no halle or taraji, obssessed redeemed her with me.

    J.Lo_ No question about it DID NOT need to be on this list, jen acting is far more superb compared to her tired ass singing.if J.Lo never sang agasin and just focused on acting in GOOD movies she would still be set cause she is a great actress ( enough was my s**t)

    Mariah Carey_ Her performance in glitter was a disaster but to her defense she becoming ill become of being over worked and stressed , she too redeemed herself in precious, i wont say she is a horrible actor but she does need to dedicate more time to her craft if she wants to further pursue acting seriously.

    Ashanti_ honestly i never saw this movie so i cant critic her acting but if it was anything like that movie/music video acting she did back in the day with murder inc i definetly concur she need to find something else to do since her singing is mediocre as well

    Mya_ is smart she does roles that fit her personality acting is mediocre as well she doesnt make me want to see her in a movie honestly

    And lastly Little Ms. Rhianna_ lets just say in curious to see how she crashes and burns lol nah let me stop maybe she’ll prove to be another j.lo and be a better actor than singer.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MzRenayP/ MzRenayP

    AYE BEYONCE CAN ACT SHE’S GOTTEN BETTER N QUIT HATIN ON MY GUL JUS JEALOUS CUZ DONT NOBODY WANT YO ASS ON THE BIG SCREEN

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/iverson_girl18/ iverson_girl18

    I heard a famous black actress (Nia Long) say in an interview that Beyonce and singers who are trying to act take away a lot of the black female roles…not that there are that many out there anyway.

    Beyonce: She was horrible in all of her movies except Dreamgirls (where she played a lead singer in all girl group-she didn’t have to stretch her acting muscles too much for this one and Cadillac Records-which was a horrendous movie. The fact that she’s taken acting classes and still can’t act is a big strike. She couldn’t even act in “Telephone”

    JLo-Did anybody see Selena? This girl is known for her acting…I can’t stand her singing.

    Mariah Carey-I believe she could be a decent actress if she chose the right roles…I never saw Glitter bc the reviews were so bad. She made a huge transformation for Precious and I was semi-impressed with her acting.

    Ashanti-not my favorite actress…she should stick to what she knows… writing

    Mya-I’ve only seen her in Chicago..ok..but I don’t think she’d be my favorite
