Jamelia Tells Beyonce to “Be More Adventurous!”

British pop-tart Jamelia has blasted Beyonce for ‘playing it safe’ with her new album, B’Day.
Apparently, Jamelia said to the Daily Star: “I heard Beyonce recorded B-Day in two weeks. When you write an album you need to take breaks to re-connect with yourself.”
“I’d have liked it if she’d been more adventurous. I like the single, I do think the album is good, it’s just not great. Beyonce should be interesting – be crazy.”
Jamelia also had a bone to pick with Beyonce over the album cover, which saw Beyonce with an alligator. “I don’t think alligators were a good idea. It was cruel,” she said.
However, Jamelia seems to be a fan of US export Justin Timberlake, congratulating him on his efforts with his new album.
“I’m glad Justin didn’t come back with that dancing lark. Any artist that has longevity knows they need to move on.”
Jamelia has just released a comeback album of her own, Walk With Me. I didn’t know her first album was such a success, to warrant a ‘comeback’ record. Maybe it was just in Australia that things didn’t go so well for her?
