Girl, we are so sorry that we let a crusty money-hungry man get between us and kick you out the group that you sang lead vocals in and replaced you feat. Effie White

Jennifer is very good but don't try to make me believe Beyoncé is a bad singer.
Me the entire time: "MERCEDES SANG THIS ON GLEE"
Adele quit being a housewife/working for the nurses union to be a singer
I said Beyoncé is good but in this case Jennifer is just built different
