Jermaine Dupri labels Britney and Christina copycats

by on July 26, 2006

in Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, Legal

What do you think? JD is branding Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera as copycats, Janet Jacksons rap mogul beau Jermaine Dupri has praised his sweethearts originality in her work. Dupri, who according to speculation is planning to tie the knot with Jackson on September 26th this year, said that the forthcoming album will set the standard for her rivals in the business, and be a trendsetter. “Only Janet records sound like her. I always look and think, where’s Beyonce going to be in 20 years?’ It’s hard for me to visualise. I don’t put them on the same plane, Contactmusic quoted him, as saying. “Artists just need to make good music. I said to Janet, ‘All you got to do is sing.’ Britney and Christina Aguilera are all copycats of one person. “Janet doesn’t go for the same typical cars and street videos. She was the reason we started to watch TV. She’s back to her full capacity and blowing it out to the level, he added.

LOL…man Christina Aguilera has never tried to copy nobody’s style…she is always taking risks..I Love janet but that was a very ignorant statement to make JD…JD almost all your songs sound the exact same be orginail.

I usually love Janet but if her first single is anything to go by, there is no way she is back to ‘her full capacity’. Christina is one of the only artists out there that is original and can actually sing.

Kevin July 26, 2006 at 5:08 pm

Janet Jackson’s new song is very boaring so I dont think he should talk as for Christina’s enw song is blazing up the charts!! and Britney does not copy Janet she copies Madonan as for she is her idol!!

RC July 26, 2006 at 6:27 pm

And who the f is JD to criticize anyone? No one gives a damn what that little midget thinks.

Janet it an inspiration for many female acts and should be flattered that they may have USED to copy her style, but they don’t anymore.

Hey JD, Christina actually HAS VOCAL TALENT!!! Grow some before you criticize others….

Marcus July 26, 2006 at 7:24 pm

I use 2 like JD but wtf is he talkin about? Britney is more Madonna-ish than anything. Chill JD Janet last album flopped. (tho i bought it)

flashback3301 July 26, 2006 at 7:41 pm

JD is so stupid. How dare he talk such things about Beyonce and Xtina. He better look at his own b!tch,who can’t sing and who will flope AGAIN. JD U’RE LOOSER!!!

maitababy July 26, 2006 at 9:28 pm

whatever jd. go away

Tha1Uh8 July 26, 2006 at 11:06 pm

Those ladies aren’t original and he wasn’t bigging up Janet. He basically said most of the artists in our generation won’t be as innovative like the ones from yesteryear. You can’t name any artist that’s out today who stands on their own without being compared to someone. It’s the truth and don’t hate JD for saying it.

Nikki July 27, 2006 at 12:14 am

Yeah but Beyonce Christina and Britney have always given credit where it is due, besides it is hard to be creative EVEN Janet when there were people who have done it before you?Janet Michael and others have danced before Janet did so he can Sit his ass down.

He is just mad that Beyonce and Christina are coming out at the same time Janet is that is all.

Keyshia July 27, 2006 at 12:19 am

Patti Labelle, Tina Turner, Etta James

Have all PRAISED christina and beyonce ( how dare he says he does not know where she will be in 20 years he was down talking her too).

so who gives a damn what he thinks

*omg*
I can’t believe his statement.
I’m not sure if he even believe it himself.
Janet’s new song is a veeeery lame copy of Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” and Mariah’s copy of WBT; “Don’t Forget About Us”.
See… he even created a copy of a copy before.
Allthough those songs where good but this just isn’t.
There is really nothing to it. It’s extremely boring and empty.

I don’t hate Janet, her last record (Damita Jo) where good allthough it flopped. But Janet has indeed a very weak voice, and she would have never been an artist in the first place if it wasn’t for her famous brother who’s name and success kind of made a musicial path for Janet even possible.

And to say that Janet is an original artist.
Well, she isn’t. And has never been.
Like I wrote, the new song is indeed a lame copy. So where’s the originality in that.

Christina is a great artist, Britney had her moments and Beyoncé too.

brittney July 28, 2006 at 1:16 am

first off… jd should not have said such a thing, although he is entitled to his own opinion… i mean he mainly does the background lyrics (repeating what the singer has alreay said) and sometimes making the music and/or sound effects… so where does that leave him? nowhere with no vocal talent whatsoever… therefore he shouldn’t talk about anyone whom does…

second off… EVERYONE is original in some way shape or form… although britney does imitate and/or idolize madonna(very much), it does not mean that she is “copying” her… that wud mean she is taking every bit of madonna and creating a new “mabritney” (madonna + britney) persona… which if u llook closely madonna has a bit more class (sorry brit)…

i believe that as long as a person is getting somewhere with the vocal talent that they do possess, they are fine… britney, beyonce, christina, janet (i love them all in a different way)… each one of the bring something totallt different to the table… so lets not bash anyone who is just doing what he or he loves…

hmmmmmmm July 28, 2006 at 5:59 pm

janet is shit she dont even write her own music compare here to britney and christina dat all gd coz der crap as well but Beyonce is a star she WRITES SHE SING AND DANCES HER FUTURE LOOK BRIGHT TO ME so shut da fuck up wid ure SHORT SELF MR DUPRI URE CHICK DONT EVEN HAVE A VOCAL RANGE ONE NOTE

Suede July 29, 2006 at 11:13 pm

That stupid ugly lookin JD better shut his stinky mouth out. Or else if i see him, i will throw rotten eggs right on his face and chillies into his mouth so that he cant speak anymore. he’s just jealous that his girlfren’s popularity is not as good as Beyonce’s, Christina’s and Britney’s. 20Y0 will flop!!!

RE:hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm July 30, 2006 at 1:47 am

uh, janet writes her music. and i’m sure she can’t write a sentence with proper grammar too.

i.heartDIOR August 2, 2006 at 5:00 am

I don`t mean no harm, but JD needa to sit his a– down somewhere. I hate when people go and start comparing other singers to other singers; other rappers too other rappers. No one in they right state of mind in that line of work wakes up and says they want to be like Janet or Bee or Alicia or Nelly etc. Everyone wants to make a name for themselves. No one wants to live in anyone else`s shadow. Sh–, they go be back up if they wanted to do that!

goodies August 4, 2006 at 10:34 pm

Um Jd sit your tired self down. U the one dat always be saying that tired so so def line in every song and as far as i’m concerned that janet song call on me sucks. Janet is an icon and i really respect her but truly that song isn’t that great and u can barely
hear what she’s saying even the beat of the song is louder than her voice. In this present time janet will not be able to keep up.

dk_model August 5, 2006 at 3:27 am

What JD needs to do is try to bring out a sensible about of himself that accually sells and stop tryin to get fame off Janet’s name. Beyonce, Britney Spears and Xtina all sell millions of records, so he dont need to be worryin about where beyonce gonna be in 20 years, he needs to be worring about where his ass gonna be, lol. He is so funny, Janet brings out one ok song and uses Nelly to hype it up and he think shes on top of the world. Both Deja Vu and Aint no other wad blow Call on Me away.

AK August 10, 2006 at 2:56 pm

You are all blind and ignorant. Janet Jackson is original, and to say that she wouldn’t be famous if her brother’s didn’t pave the way for her is a crock. She was on Good Times, and other shows. Not that she has the greatest voice of all time, but Madonna is successful, and so if Michael Jackson, so sit down with that. And Brit. does copy Janet, she many copy Madonna more, but Janet and Madonna are similar artists.

And Janet does write her own songs, and when she doesn’t she admits it. Unlike Brit, Beyonce, and others who don’t. Beyonce “creating her album in 2 weeks” umm, she couldn’t have done14 songs in that short period of time.

And Deja Vu is slipping on while Call On Me succeeds.

P.S Damita Jo did not flop 3mill is not flopping.

Nik August 19, 2006 at 1:07 pm

Im sorry janet I like your new soong call on me and all but…I have to take x-tina’s and britts side this time… chris is so not a copycat and neighter id britney ok I must admit she is a total imitation of madona but she does it in her own way and is good at it, plus madona doesn’t mind, there friends right…

GABRIEL September 18, 2006 at 3:18 am

OKAY AND EVERY BEAT THAT JD MAKES FOR SOMEONE ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME SOUND, GET REAL, BEYONCE IS MY GIRL AND SHE WANTED TO SHE COULD BE AROUND FOR YEARS AND YEARS, SHES JUST AS TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL AS JANET, AND PLUS THEY HAVE 2 DIFFRENT STYLES FOR HIM 2 COMPARE THEM 2GETHER. I’M LIKE ALSO THE HUGEST JANET FAN, COMPETELY DIFFRENT STYLES BUT BOTH TALENTED IN THEIR OWN WAYS, BUT UNTIL JANET CAN HAVE THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR THAN MAYBE HE CAN GIVE HER CREDIT, BUT UNFORTANETLY I DON’T THINK THAT’LL BE COME TRUE ANYTIME SOON, JANET GIVE IT UP YOUR YEARS OF FAME ARE OVER, UR BORING NOW.
I admitt christina is A FOLLOWER, SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT OR WHO SHE IS, SHE’S CONSTANTLY CHANGING UP HER STYLE LIKE SOMEONE ELSE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHO BROUGHT HORNS IN MUSIC BACK? BEYONCE, AND ON TOP OF THAT ONE MINUTE SHE’S WHITE, THE NEXT BLACK, THEN HISPANIC, SHE’S CONFUSED AND SHE NEEDS TO SIT HER FRAIL ASS DOWN AND STOP YELLING ON TP OF HER LUNGS ON EVERY FUCKEN ALBUM, NEWS FLASH THAT AINT SINGING, OH AND I JUST DON’T LIKE BRITNEY SO I AINT GONE WAIST MY TIME.

Britney spears, christina aguilera & beyonce knowles are three amazing singers and performers. Vocally all three britney, beyonce & christina are better than janet.

The best singers between christina, beyonce & britney.

I love all three of these beautiful talented singers, but the best one vocally is

christina
than
beyonce
than
britney.

But like I said all three of these women are better singers than janet and madonna.

Britney spears first two albums were best vocally. Than her third album came out. That album was very origanal, she only copied one other song and that was “I love rock n roll” And even though her voice did sound good on that album it wasn’r her very best vocally. Than her third album came out. The most origanal and unigue (if thats how you spell that word) one of all. I like almost all the songs on that album except for one and that is I think breathe on me (it was too kylie & madonna for my taste) but all the other songs were good. But that album was not as good vocally like her first two albums.

Beyonce knowles was always a great singer and writer and was always origanal. I only have the survivor destiny’s child album (which was great) and the destiny fullfill album (which was also great) Than I had beyonce’s first solo album dangerously in love. Her first solo album was really, really good. And till this day my favorite beyonce song is still crazy in love (I later accidentally broke the cd of hers I had.) Than I got her 2nd album for christmas!!!! It was better than her first album! (even though my favorite beyonce song is still crazy in love.)

Christina aguilera’s first album was good. I was really upset when people always say that her first album is soooooo pop, because yes although I thought it was pop as well, it still had soul to it. I don’t have any of her other albums, but I really want them!

JD has a right to say what he feels, but I do think he was wrong to say what he said.

Britney spears, christina aguilera & beyonce knowles are waaaay more talented than janet (no offense to her)
