GOOD NEWS! PLEASE READ!
Okay, sadly its not Benjelle news. Its Tonyelle news! Or really, Tahir news. Janice, Tahir's friend, posted this comment on his blog that responded to the whole Benjelle & Tahir mix....
Until last night I had not even heard of a “Benjeller”, so I’m sure u can understand why I was awestruck by what I saw. You’ve agreed that you all are a bit weird and cultish so it should come as no surprise that those were my initial and continuing thoughts on the situation.
This will be my ONE post because I seriously don’t have time for this sort of thing, but I have to stand up for Tahir in the midst of all this craziness.
I appreciate you trying to protect me from “Benjellers”, but in all honesty, I doubt I’ll lose much sleep over anything that is said about me in a Benjeller message board. I have to face real criticism on a daily basis that has real life effects, so I can deal with absurd comments people who don’t know me make about me.
Now, I’m going to start off with asking u guys to put yourselves in Tahir’s shoes. How would it make u feel if there were entire internet groups and blogs formed around a common desire for your significant other to break up with you and hook up with another person??? That’s just plain weird. Maybe since you all don’t know Tahir, Donyelle, or Benji and its somewhat abstract to u all, it doesn’t seem that weird, but these are real life people. With REAL relationships, REAL feelings, and REAL lives.
Now the stories really aren’t that serious. A bit weird and disturbing, yes. But serious, no. The Tahir-bashing, on the other hand, is uncalled for.
You guys seem to get upset when people say something negative about two people you all don’t really know. Tahir just so happens to not only be one of my really good friends, but also one of my favorite people in the whole entire world. So I’m sure you can understand why reading the negative comments about Tahir would upset me.
You guys really are making negative assumptions about someone you don’t know, who happens to be one of the best guys out there. I’ve known Tahir for I don’t know how many years. He’s stuck by my side through thick and thin and held my hand through many bad situations. He’s my go-to person for the times when I don’t know how to do something because I learned a long time ago that Tahir knows something about just about everything. So whenever I’m at a lost for how to do something, he’s the first person I call. Besides being a wonderful friend, he is also extremely intelligent, VERY community-oriented, and of great character. So while you all are busy trying to paint him out to be a bad person, Tahir is out there busting his a** to make a difference in the world and empower his community. He is one of the most helpful people I know and has never said no to any favor I’ve asked of him.
Any comment he made about having 5 girlfriends was a JOKE. The irony is that Tahir is one of the only guys I know who does NOT cheat on girlfriends. He truly treats women with utmost respect. If you all really like Donyelle so much, you should be happy that she’s found such a great guy.
Because of all these things, I’m taking time out to write this comment on his behalf. Realize that you are making negative comments about a REAL person that you do not know. You’ve exerted energy on wishing negativity upon his happy relationship. He does not know you guys and has not bothered you all. Just put yourself in his shoes. You have to understand that to a normal person, all this “Benjeller” stuff sounds pretty absurd. I cant even imagine being stuck directly in the mix of it without having been given a choice.
Oh and any inquiries dealing with suing Tahir for cut and pasting can be sent directly to me. And maybe I can give u a lesson or two on libel while I’m at it.
Peace and Love,
J
:) :) :) Is anyone but me crazily happy to find out that Tahir is a good guy??? I am ecstaic!! Okay you guys! Now you have to stop the bashing! Tahir didnt cheat, he sounds like hes an amazing person! Now Im free to listen to his songs without feeling like Im betraying my Benjelle faith (bwhaha)!! So YAY! Stop bashing peeps, we have to be peaceful.
Dont you love Janice?? Shes the ONLY one who explained why we were completely out of line instead of just attacking us for being out of line!!! I like Janice. And if for some completely strange and physcotic reason she decides to become Benjellen, there is always a uniform for her to be a crew member of our ship! Hshaha you guys remember our uniforms?? A purple shirt that says "Im a Keeper", a pretty mini skirt, and pumps! LOL! Our uniforms are Benjellen! Well anyway. If Benjelle can never be,
:*(
I am happy to say that I dont really mind the Tonyelle. :)...but Ill always love Benjelle more so lol.
-Taylor :P
btw, Dont worry, Im not a Tonyelle shipper. Im a Benjelle shipper and I always will be :) *hangs onto the ship* Ill never stop Benjellen! NEEEVERRR! You can never change me! BENJELLE FOR LIFE! AHH No! Dont touch me! Fine, but if I die. Im taking this ship down with me! Im Benjellen to the end! *dies with a picture of Benjelle...and bunny in her hands*
Okay, I got a lil dramatic there, lol. I wont start making Tonyelle fanfics, or change my myspace to all Tonyelle. Although, I was planning a trick on you guys like 2 weeks ago! I was gonna be Tonyellen! Like, I would get Moosey to pretend to take over the blog since I refused to be Benjelllen anymore. And I would add Tahir's song to my myspace and make a Tonyelle blog of my own! But I figured it was too harsh! hahaha!

Haha! Yeah. I know, I think Im the only one who is happy! haha! Oh well.
Good News: Tahir isnt a jerk.
Bad News: That means there is a smaller chance of Benjelle love.
:( :( Oh well, at least Tahir isnt evil!
-Taylor :P
I hear you Taylor, I wouldn't want D to be with and ass and I credit her with more sense than that. If they're happy, then I'm happy for her. I've never visited Tahir's myspace so until recently I was unaware of any drama with him; that being said, Janice does have a point about libel though. I've read so many stories portraying him as an abusive, homocidal maniac and worse. I wonder if any other SYTYCD ships have this kind of drama and such going on with their fics etc. Anyhoo, I'm still riding the SS Benjelle til the day I die.
Whether Tahir is a good guy or not, does not change the fact that there exists a Benjelle or a Benjelle connection or fans of the couple. There is something between Benjelle, that's more than friendship, there are too many people who comment on it and I firmly believe that we are not "seeing things." Where there is smoke, there is fire girls!!
Also if Tahir was happy, then why did he go on the fox boards under a name and make comments that could only make Donyelle lose votes? Being a HUGE Donyelle fan, this is what really got to me. I wanted her to make it as far as possible and he could have potentially sabotaged that. Why did he say that Benjelle were playing the audience for votes? I am not saying he is not a nice guy, BUT in my opinion he should have never even gotten himself involved in the Benjelle online community by antagonizing Donyelle fans on multiple sites. He is a grown man in his late 20's, he should have left it alone.
I don't know the guy, but his actions speak for him and they are not positive. Donyelle herself has not said a word this whole time..and she seems like a private person, so why is he putting her business "out there."
As for Benjelle, if they are meant to be, it will happen. May not be for a long time, years even..but if they are meant to be..they will be..Tahir or no Tahir. If they are not meant to be..then so be it also.
All I can say is Donyelle looks very happy and content on the tour and she glows when she is around Benji. Benji and Donyelle have both said that they will be in each other's life forever. Which is good enough for me.

I'm sorry but I do not feel the same way. You do not make that kind of video joke or otherwise. You do not antagonize your girl's fans period. I do not trust the word of a friend. She's suppose to stand up for him. From I read, he does not present himself as a good guy. B is the same in person, on tv, and in cyberspace. That is the difference between the two. If she ends of with B, I would be happy. I still think Tahir is a creep and does not deserve to be with Donyelle. If Janice loves him so much, they should be together.
very true anon #2 thanks
very true anon #2 thanks
Just because someone is a nice person to his friends does not mean he is a great all around guy. From the way he has treated Donyelle's fans, and the Benjellers, sorry but there would have to be a hell of a lot more proof than that for me to EVER believe that he (i refuse to write his name) is a "good" guy.
Do you really buy this, really! None of his actions speak to what this person is saying, need I remind you all of the WYF emails and comments he made at the forum. He tried to ruin D's chances of winning by claiming her and B were fooling the public for votes. Then he takes the I'm sorry video and puts it right front of his ms for everybody to see. He lies and he is extremly sarcastic. He fights with her friends and has not even gone to see "his woman" on tour. Anyway, i wont go on but I think to say he is a good guy based on him or one of his friends writing a post about him on his ms is silly. I hate he is getting this much of your blog space actually moose but it is your space. i think he no integrity and is trying to use d to get some publicity. Anyway, this just makes me upset, so I will leave it alone.
Aww man. I was hoping that this would stop tahir hate. But you guys make good points. Are you sure WYF is Tahir? I hope not. Im trying my hardest to like him, I really am. Im going to forgive the whole "cheat on my girlfriends" since he was a joke, and boys are stupid. But that my my my thing was kinda hoefacish. Err. Why cant Benjlle be together, and Tahir be with some other pretty and kind person?? Then the whole world, (or at least us Benjellers) would be happy!!!
-Taylor :P
This makes me sad :(
"Okay, sadly its not Benjelle news. Its Tonyelle news!"
Scared the crap out of me. I was like, 'Wait, Donyelle has met a Tony? CONFUSION!"
*Reads more*
Ohhhh....Ok....
lol
Personally, I've always felt that we should leave T alone. We don't know him and since he IS with Donny we should respect him and not bash him, no matter what we think about him, because we have no idea what kind of person he actually is. (That totally made sense in my head) I'm not juming ship, I'm just saying the ship should stay on course and only focus on what is being sipped. (again, that made sense in my head) What's meant to happen will happen no matter if it be Benjelle or Tanyelle (Just so I don't confuse myself lol). But yeah, that's my whole thing on this.
Peace...
Okay..... wow. *doesn't know how to respond*
I never thought Tahir was evil. Nope. But, I swear I've read something written by Tahir that said something along the lines of, "I'm a man .. I've cheated before." But, maybe I'm remembering wrong. ...
Oh well. I wish you didn't title this Good News!, Taylor. It kinda made me sad.
Oh, and actually, if you blend their names correctly, you get Tahelle *cringe* It doesn't really blend well. Say it out loud and you'll see. Ta-helle.
If benjelle are meant to be together they will.So it really does not matter what is being said.I have nothing against him or anybody because I dont know him.So that being said it still does nnot hold ground on what I see between B and D so yeah.
What's this about a video saying he cheated? Ok, Anons, I see what you're saying and I respect your point of views as fellow people and benjellers.
I am coming from the perspective of someone who knows very little about the interaction between T.J and the fans so all this(what is WYF)is new to me,(I did hear about Bigfoot, but I don't know how it all started)as such, I am inclined to agree with Silas that we really should leave him alone because the ship has nothing to do with him.
Ano who said, "B is the same in person, on tv, and in cyberspace. That is the difference between the two" I totally see your point and I agree one hundred percent, but to be fair we as fans are unable to see the whole picture so we really don't know what is going on and for that reason I would recommend that we leave him alone. That aside, I thought you made a really great point about Benji. Ine of my bach mates took dance lessons with him and even though she didn't watch the show she told me that he was just as awesome and genuine in real life as he appeared on tv. . .if only more people could be like Benji. CTB, D.
I've met Tahir before at a show he was doing in LA. I'm not a friend. I just went to a concert. I don't know how to explain it. Sometimes people give you a bad vibe and all you want to do is get away from that person. That's the vibe I got from Tahir. This is before I ever heard of Benjelle. When I heard who Donyelle was dating, I was horrified. Some people you should avoid. I've learned a long time ago to trust my gut and instincts. My instincts that night was to turn around and walk in the opposite direction.
I've actually respected T for a long time now and i felt really bad when all the bashing was going on...he took it pretty well in my opinion which only made me like him more...and ur rite the way janice put it without being threatening really helped the situation...
Happiness is the Key Ya'll
Being that B is a very stand up kind of guy, don't you think if Donny was seeing a really great guy that Tahir attempts to present himself as (or Jackie same person), that he would not have said that he was a great guy and he was happy for them. Do you think that Donny or Benji would continue this public PDA knowing that it would cause this guy discomfort if he was a real stand up guy. I know most of you are very young but it is not a joke or funny, but extremely disrespectful for a man to put a videotape up on his web page telling the worl how he has been unfaithful to you , not funny. Then to come into the forum and undermind your so called g/f's chances of winning by saying her and benji were just pulling the wool over peoples eyes. ys he was WYF, he emailed one of the girls (saw teh email) and said it was him. Anyway it goes he seems to alwasy direct attention to himself, he even said the fabfics are about him when they actual have very little tosay about him. He si trying to ride D's coat tails to make promote himself. I really wish you all would stop posting on his blog and putting his junk out here for all to see. This gives him everything he asked for. Moose sadi everything needed in teh first response to him, there was no need for more. He is a BF not a performer, he is not part of the performance. If they stay together, as sad as that is , that is her choice. But really why is there so much of his rantings and post and such taking up so much of Benjelle space. This makes me sad...
basically just stop giving him attention. I have nothing against him but non of this has to do with him anyway so why is he always mentioned I just dont understand this.
tuesday: Me either. I just feel like deleting this post right now. Too much trouble to deal with the Tahir contreversy. Its getting old, Im getting tired. This post is getting deleted.
-Taylor :P
hahah Siley. Tony.. that is so weird isnt Tony the name of that squeedidlyyumptious driver in you fic?
-Taylor :P
Ahh, more Tahir madness...let's see...I think this two cents will give me a dime for this week.
I am a shipper.
I will be a shipper until someone gets hitched. (CTB Donny)
I don't know Tahir.
I don't know Donyelle.
I don't know Benji.
All I know of these people is who they have represented themseleves as to the public at large.
Tahir may be a good person in the walk of life, I can believe that, that doesn't necessarily make him the best choice for Donyelle. I never believed that video was the real deal, didn't believe one word of it. But I am old so...anyway
Tahir represented himself as an ass, that was his fault. He went looking for trouble, then invited it into his den. If he wanted to show love for her he should have done that with the people he engaged, maybe the ship would have slowed down a little. But hinde site is 20/20. Instead he flaked on Fox Forums and then decided to allow a bunch of teenaged girls call him to task. Maybe he didn't know it would go on this long. He thought that when the show was over everyone would stop the shipping.
Oops.
Why couldn't he just ignore it all. Better yet, why couldn't those he engaged have ignored him instead of taunting him and allowing him to cause such a ruckus.
Donyelle is exactly what Mia named her, Quiet Fire. She did her thing on TV, and has done her thing on tour, other than that she has been very silent about the whole thing.
Benji...I'd love to think that B-man is perfect...I really would. But I know he isn't. Because he is human. But from what I can see from him, he has very strong feelings for Donyelle. He has shown this in everything he has done on the show, on the road, on the internet, during interviews. He will not allow anyone to forget that she was his partner and she is an amazing person. It is also possible that his is not the best person for Donny either, but I will say this...on paper and to the public at large he is definetely the lesser of two eviils.
Taylor, Bigfoot isn't a boy, he's an adult. He's at an age where he should know better than to post stupid sh*t on blogs and forums.
As for WYF, wasn't it revealed a while back that WYF was bigfoot?

Yes it was.... by me personally...
But I do agree, we should just leave him alone and hopefully he'll figure out how to leave us alone...
I'm sorry, but a grown man needn't act that way unless he thought there was something seriously wrong with his relationship. Benji's apparently doing something right. I'm cheering for the good guy because he's made himself out to be one. Tahir's done the exact opposite. He needs to get a life instead of fooling with children (sorry, guys, but technically, you are children). Come up with a new hobby, man, because this one is getting pretty tired.
ok tay ....well when i read that i wouldnt say i was happy, but i was honestly relieved ...it does make me happy to know that he isnt a bad person... tho i never really thought he was, it jus irritated me that he was an onstacle in the course of the benjelle and sumthings he sed and did made that worse. but i must admit that i feel pretty bad about things ive sed about him b4...i always try not to pass judgement and i did ..so this is me apologizing for that. i'm a benjelle shipper to the end and im goin down with this ship, but if tahir really is all these things that janice ses (i really like janice too =D )then thats really great for him ...and i hope donyelle is happy with him. if its meant to be it will be
Tonyelle
Funny in Tonyelle didn't go over too big in Silas's story ...LMAO...Everyone wanted Tonyelle, but when the got the opportunity for Tonyelle, they liked the betters as friends...How frickin' ironic is that?????...Just an observations
tay i appreciate your trying to make peace
gahh everyone just stop fighting! the LAST thing benjellers need is to be divided! we have enough problems, we need to stick together to support benji and donyelle, thats it!
it depresses me to think that if i hadnt written tahir into my fic there probably wouldnt be such a huge dispute right now.
guys lets focus on building up the people we love, not bashing those who we dont. i'm not sticking up for tahelle or T, but why waste our efforts on fighting with each other? this is exactly what someone who didnt like benjelle would want.
peace!

I just don't understand why this is entitled Good News. Have I entered the wrong blog?

Well you can tell if you like...it doesn't mean that I'm going to say that you

I understand that she has her own fanbase...people do love her...I just think
that it doesn't hurt to let people believe that they have something
together...it doesn't hurt
and I've been to every show...they have never kissed on the lips ;)
I'm not going to go into detail on our relationship ;)...im sure you can
understand that one.
******
awww...you know what...all that I typed could have been a lie...you know...maybe
to get more people to listen to my music ;) ....you see...I can go back and
forth with this all day ;)
*****
lol....i told u that i'm good at throwing people off...
and don't trip off the people on the messageboard...if they walked right passed
you they wouldn't even know it...so don't take anything personal ...none of this
bothers me as you can tell ;)
This will be my last message about this subject...
