Beyoncé doesn't write her own lyrics and has a great team behind her

A lot of her music is just that... but I can't fault her for the era that she came up in....... lets not forget that Janet came up in an era where it was all about the music, and was taking under the wing by one of the greatest producing duos of all time....

Without question Janet's discography>>> Bey's..... well, imo

I see what you're saying, but that's the thing. If she's so great, then she should be transcending the genre.

Remember when MJ really became MJ: Motown was fading, disco died, pop music was completely in a distraught state. Dude completely flipped everything on it's head rather than make the same music everyone was complaining about.

If you're going to be the best at something 2nd tier, why not take your talents and make something new and better altogether if you can? But the better question may be, can you?

That's where I think Beyonce is being overrated by her fans and cats that fail to understand the context that prior generational artists like MJ came up in. Great performer, she's the best at what she does. But does her music really break anything?

As a comparison, we've had cats on a lesser scale like Kendrick flirt with pushing the envelope with pure lyricism in the face of more melodic hip-hop in recent years, although he still can't quite make an culture-wide changing impact in the genre. But that's what I'd expect from an artist being propped up the way Beyonce has and has been talked about.

I think it should be noted though, and why I favor Janet over Beyonce: Janet did push the envelope when it came to a female artist. Everyone knows about her dancing being very technical, but imagine an r&b singer with her voice being accepted at the time? She pushed the envelope and influenced a lot of women in the genre and other genres like indie rock to take on her style into their music, breaking many barriers in the process. I don't think that should be taken lightly either.

Now I'm not saying Beyonce should switch up, but man, I can't help to feel like she's been doing the same songs ever since she went solo. I enjoy them, but they are what they are.

Beyonce has 0 personality..that's her whole issue..everything she does seems contrived.

they have 2 different registers/vocal ranges. so that's apples and oranges but i like the range janet does and she does her thing better than beyonce

beyonce doesn't move when she sings. she can sing but it don't move me. i don't feel like

i feel janet though

music is bout feelin' too
Nah stop it..its not about different its about how wide their ranges are

Janet's range is no where near as wide as beyonce

2nd Janet doesnt make alot of ballads
Im not a fan of either but Beyonce SANGs more than Janet so beyonce has more songs that move me

Beyonce doesn't have personality. Y'all killing me today. Like y'all hang out with her.

She's not out there like Rihanna is but people that hang with her have said she's a really silly person.

their ranges are different. janet's is really low and beyonce is like a typical high

janet never steps out of her range or zone and nor should she because what she does works for her. but beyonce don't never really go all the way wide with her range like you tryin' to make it be by sayin' "as wide as beyonce". beyonce don't belt out no songs like whitney did, or mariah

and besides that, beyonce just makes a lot of bullshyt ass music, plain and simple. janet is the complete package, beyonce just over hyped and got lucky in a watered down era of bullshyt ass music

How is Janet seen as "complete package" when she can't sing as hard and dance as hard as Bey LIVE?!?

I love Janet but this is ridiculous.

because it's also about a feelin' too

i feel janet's music. beyonce can dance and she can sing (not anythin' worthy of the hype she gets though) but there's no emotion in it

she just comes across as robotic to me

i don't feel it with beyonce

simple as that

naw, bruh. if she got the talent and is this so called "creative genius" then she needs to show that but she doesn't and the bar has been lowered so much and shyt is so watered down now that people who haven't been around long enough to remember a janet, whitney or mariah in their primes don't know any better so they think beyonce is as great as it gets. so their expectations of what's great aren't high at all

beyonce needs to step her game up. i'm sorry but she comes with a lot of the generic bullshyt. only song of her's i have ever liked and still to this day think is her best is "me, myself and i". but that's it

but yeah, janet's music >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> beyonce's music

janet as an artist >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> beyonce as an artist


it's not close at all

So she should make music that appeases your useless definition of classic or continue making music that her fans love and support?

Janet makes wack music to me i never bump no janet dawg
Same with Beyonce

Im strictly talkin whos technically better

And beyonce is technically better period

If u like the style of music Janet made thats all cool
Im not a fan of neither but Janet lacks any true ballads so I enjoy B's music more than hers

But this all opinion Im speakin on whos more talented and B blows J out the water
J's vocal range aint no where near as wide as B
B's voice can go many places when she sings
J's cant so :manny:
