well actually Whitney has 3 Diamond cd’s as her “Whitney” cd has sold over 10 million copies.
Wow and Amazing… It would be an absolute dream if all three ladies could of done a concert together. Now that would be the Ultimate Diva Concert… Unfortunately one is now an angel. #rip Ms.Whitney :”’(
Fuck off that nigga, nobody likes you, you just mad cause you cant except the truth, you dont know better. My fave slaughters your faves on all levels and you will bow and deal, the name is Bey, learn it, love it, live it bitch, she’s takin over the world.
@ beyfan the word is accept not except…. Your ignorance is showing…. just like in all your other comments, you don’t know what the HELL you’re talking about. Oh and Beyonce will never touch Whitney, Mariah, or Celine.
Actually, Whitney hasn’t been certified since the late 90s early 2000s. So this means her second album (Whitney) at last count was around 9mill; so she sure is Diamond by now with that album
Like I said, Whitney has been sitting at 170mill sold since the the early 00s; once she is re certified she should be over 200 mill. Her Ultimate Collection, Greatest Hits Collection has sold very well throughout the past decade.
She is probably the most uncertified of all her peers
Beyfan u deluded fuck. Beys voice ain’t shit compare to these ladies. So sit the hell down
@WOW & MEME FUCK YOU BOTH BITCHES, dont nobody give a fuck about you stanky motha fuckas, its all about KING BEY, and she shits on Sleeplene, Crackney, & Mooriah, Bey’s carreer kills theres, they aint nobody, Bey can sing them under the table and bring them back to life. None of them bitches can dance, and Bey can, Bey’s a better actress than them all, and her voice is prettier than any of theres ever was
This @Beyfan is such a fucking embarrassment to other Beyonce fans. smh, Please stop with the ignorance!
