Unfortch she’s not an original anything. her sharking and special effects songwriters are obvious. Her image/mystique wins though. Would like to see her perform.

I know many Stans that say they don’t even still listen to any of it. :yeshrug:
And Kells pen is still superior than anyone she’s worked with.

Disagree

This idea B sharks any more than other popular artist in the past or present is overblown and not true. Mariah for instance has paid close to a million in settling plagarism suits in the 90s

And B has classics

MeMyself&I, Party, Crazy In Love, Deja Vu, Love On Top, Get Me Bodied, Dangerously in Love etc

Albums many ppl consider classics...DIL, Lemonade, Bday

No one listens to B anymore? I dunno. Did some googles, she got 2 billion streams on spotify alone this year. Seems like a lot lol

Aaliyah was cool but never was a great vocalist. She benefited greatly from the work & creativity of Missy and Tim. And yes Kells too

A was even getting smoked numbers wise by Brandy, Monica and even Destiny Child when she was alive

But hey its subjective. Numbers arent everything

No she doesn't.

exactly I downloaded her albums and deleted most of the songs off my Apple Music. Most of her music outside of the singles she released was mediocre at best and she didn’t even write it and she couldn’t sing live. Lmao that nostalgia got everybody hyping her up and I’m actually a fan and was excited for music to be on Apple Music.

Beyoncé has a few classics but her live performances are AMAZING and makes up for everything.

^These are not classics.

Aaliyah was cool but never was a great vocalist.

We not talking about great vocals; we talking classics. Stick to the script.
Janet Jackson was never a great vocalist either, but she got more classics than damn near everybody.

One of the most prolific songwriters of all-time once said:
“This is the SONG business. Not the ‘who has the best voice’, or ‘who is the best looking’ business.
If you got a good song, you can make it.”

Only Beyonce's post "4" music is disposable. Plenty of her songs that stand the test of time before that.


Random gems after that like "Drunk in Love" and "Freedom" though.
