Because of the recent talk about Beyo's goat level, coachella performance..

[IllmaticDelta]

and people not being able to understand the different groupings of goatness from a vocalist, musicianship-songwriters and singer-live performance/entertainer acts....I decided to make the official breakdown of black music's goats by category.

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Translation: queen bey the goat

 

[brownsugah]

I think Bey should be listed under that vocalist list. That's the only thing I will say, but everything else.. I definitely agree with.

 

[Cagny]

Nah, I couldn’t agree that Beyonce is as good as peer vocalists like Jennifer Hudson or even a Christina Aguilera.

 

[brownsugah]

Her Technique is better than both combined. J. Hud and Christina Aguilera don't have good vocal control imo.

[brownsugah]

Imo.. Jennifer Hudson can sing, but doesn't know how to control or balance things out...and because of that, I can't really listen to her for long periods of time.


Christina just yells most of the time and that's not really singing to me.

But do what you want with that. I don't care that much.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Translation: queen bey the goat

she's the best female performer/entertainer with great vocals combined, w/o question

tina turner isn't as good vocally but she has the stage show

nina simone has the vocals and her stage act isn't as physical because she didn't dance but her musicianship and the way she delivered the songs were quite entertaining

 

[IllmaticDelta]

No sade

Sade made great music but her actual vocals aren't elite and she's not a physical performance type. She' kinda like a jazzy version of what Diana Ross brings to the table.

 

[zayk35]

this nikka got Chuck Berry next to Beyonce ..now I aint no Beyonce fan but come on breh...............show me something other than that skip thing he did across the stage

 

[Apollo Creed]

No K Ci Hailey?

 

[IllmaticDelta]

you must not be fully aware of what chuck pioneered and brought to the table

 

[IllmaticDelta]

No K Ci Hailey?

Hell na. He ain't on the goat tier

 

[Apollo Creed]

Hell na. He ain't on the goat tier
