TYLER PERRY NOT TRYING TO BE EDDIE MURPHY: Director/playwright tired of comparis

Posted by myshwana 582 days ago
In his latest newsletter to fans, Tyler Perry says he's not trying
to get sucked into the media's obsession with pitting him against
Eddie Murphy in a battle over who does a better job acting in drag.

With Murphy playing multiple female characters in his upcoming
film "Norbit," (due in theaters five days before the Valentine's Day
release of Perry's "Daddy's Little Girls"), Perry says the press is
at it again.

He writes: "When I was doing press they were asking all of the
same questions, like `Who do you think is better, Eddie's characters
or yours?' I am not about to get into this mess with them. Even
though I don't know Eddie, we all know that he is a brilliantly
talented man and I won't get into any kind of contest no matter what
questions are asked of me. I just wanted you all to be aware of the
tricks that they try."

*Meanwhile, at the recent BET "Celebration of Gospel" taping,
in the EUR-TV clip below, Tyler Perry breaks-down what his latest
film, "Daddy's Little Girls," is all about. Essentially, he says,
this one is for the Brothers.

    these are both 2 truly gifted and talented men. I love all of their work. But to be totally honest Eddie wins hands down for his EXTENSIVE works. Tyler has a LONG way to go to catch up to Eddie. GOD bless them both. Keep up to GREAT work.

    I can't imagine people would ever compare these two men. Both are talented this is a given, but beyond that, they have entirely different careers. If one inspired the other, then great, but if anyone ever considered saying that Tyler is motivated to be judged by any other than God, they would need their heads examined, or at least need to take the time to discover who he truly is. I'm not taking anything away from the talents and convictions that Mr Murphy has either. They just aren't even looking in the same direction, let alone trying to copy each other. If anything, the media could take the time to refresh their intellect and perhaps seek some spiritual convictions of their own that may give them cause to show compassion, instead of spending their time, trying to lessen the value of either of these mens careers. The reporting media "geniuses" really amaze me with the degree of their superficial insight and lack of overall intelligence. Oh to have the chance at their job.

    Tyler is Tyler and Eddie is Eddie... and their character's are their own. Only the media would now all of a sudden make comparisons when Eddie has played a woman's role in the his many other movies (Nutty Professor" there was never any question or issue. (Remember he was Professor Klump's Mom?). Now NORBIT focuses on a LARGE Black woman... There is all this talk... GO FIGURE... Just something to talk about... Well IT's not gonna fly... Tyler is Tyler.. (Madea) and Eddie is Eddie (Momma Klump and Norbit) GET OVER IT ALREADY... Let the brotha's ACT and make their money please!
