Camilla Bowles To Beyonce: You're a Bad Influence


beyonce_articlewebusethis.jpg

The Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Bowles,aka Mrs. Prince Charles of England, is making headlines after she blasted Beyonce and Lady Gaga's latest music video during a speech in London this week.

Bowles was speaking at the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Center in South London when someone in the audience asked what she thought of Bey and Lady Gaga's latest video, 'Video Phone'.

"A lot of these video's are terrifying," she said. "I am sure they trigger a response in some of the young people. I can never understand how they can get away with making those things."

Speaking specifically on how videos influence teenagers, she added, "It has happened too quickly, values have changed so much. I suppose it's peer pressure, that's the problem. You don't want to look the odd one out. But it takes a strong person to show that they don't approve, especially at that age."

So what do you think? Should Bowles be singling out music videos or does she have a valid point?

Wow, it would really take a homewrecker to say those things about Lady Gaga and Beyonce? Really, what is the world coming to? Actually, Beyonce and Lady Gaga isn't really the bigger influences. It's the HOME ENVIRONMENT. If they don't want their kids watching stuff like that, why don't they WATCH THEIR KIDS!? Makes sense to me.

 

Camilla should has the nerve to make such comments? After cheating on both her husband and princess Diana she should know better. The royals are the most disfunctional family and should stay out of morality issues.

 

Thank GOD. He is the only one that can JUDGE!

 

Camilla,

I know you aren't reading this... you don't DO US. But I remember when you homewrecked Diana's home. You biach. You have what you want. Leave us alone already... really. We don't need you and we don't want you. I'll be glad when you're gone. I am so tired of you.

Beyonce has been very successful and seems to want to keep a good image in the public eye,"referring to movie "obsessed" but you can't want to "act" one way and portray yourself as another in your music. There's absolutlely nothing positive coming from her music and she's not showing her young audience how comfortable she is in her own skin. Showing children that they need to be two different people is not very healthy. One side good the other "demon like." She should take a step back and think about the message she is sending to her young audience instead of going with what the world wants.She has been very prosperous. It shouldn't be about the money anymore.

 

I think Beyonce's image is exactly what young ladies need to see. Beyonce is very talanted. She shows that she is just like any other young women; she not only can shake her butt on MTV and BET and sing grammy nominated songs. but she is also lady like enough to sing for the president and play in oscar winning movies. she is showing that you don't have to be one or the other you can be all of the above if work hard.

 

i totally agree with da women!!! beyonce is a great singer but u have 2 face it, she is way 2 nasty and fake 2 me. i mean 1 minute shes singing for da president acting all innocent and then shaking her butt da next. dat is sending a very bad influnce for young girls. yea they could cut da tv and radio off but shes everywhere!!!! shes a ho and i think we need to show more credit to women like alicia keys and keyshia coles and mary j blige ane keri hilson if u ask me. if u have a problem wit dat just message me bac

 

I enjoy Beyonce's music and her demeanor in interviews, but I feel that she is portraying herself in provocative way that is not becoming or necessary. She is beautiful, married women who is very talented. To many of our young girls are looking up to her and mimicking what they see on videos. I know the argument that she's an entertainer but remember all children do not have the parental supervision we had growing up. If you don't believe me chaperone a school dance.


 

for someone who stole another's husband she sure has no right to judge anyone. Beoyounce we are proud of you , keep doing your thing.

 

I can't even believe this. Here is a woman who lied to her family, toi God himself by going with another man during HER ENTIRE MARRIAGE (which it seems people forget is an engagement in front of God) talking about entertainers doing their jopb !?!?
What an hypocrit

 

Camila Bowles that is her opinion. Beyonce and Lady Gaga are entertainers. If you don't want your children watching or listening to their music simply turn off the television and the radio and the problem is solved.

 


this tramp is just a hater BEYONCE, i luv ya, if no one else does

 

"People in glass houses....." that's all I'm saying. The wife of a prince who had an affair when the prince was still married should not talk about bad influences.

 

Does it really matter? Beyonce may have plenty of videos that are focused on sex but she is an entertainer and that's what they do. If you don't like it that's too bad. and nobody has room to be making comments when their life decisions are no better.

Go Bey!!!

 

OH PLEASE. I KNOW THAT HOMEWRECKER IS NOT TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE. AT LEAST BEYONCE DIDN'T SLEEP W/SOMEONE ELSE'S HUSBAND!
