If Aaliyah was still here, do you think she would be the best female artist in R&B/Pop right now?

Like has been said already, she'd probably be done musically or have a modest career. Like most artists, death pumped up her stature.

If Aaliyah had the same promotion that Beyonce' has had for the last 2 decades, she could've been the best female artist in the game

Beyonce's team of A&R's and promotional team > Beyonce's talent

Beyonce' is talented but she's not as great as many make her out to be.
Her work ethic and ruthlessness is what makes her GOAT

lol Aaliyah was not on Beyoncé category. She couldn't sing or dance anywhere near Beyoncé.
She was more Ashanti type.

She works her ass off but her music ain't all that to me.


I highly doubt you are her core audience breh but not too many females
can sing and follow those choreographed dance sequences flawlessly


and if they do...she's sharking their writers and songs on the low :wow:

Beyonce can sing and dance. I just don't "feel" her singing. Only on 1 hand can I count the number of songs I've actually liked by her and it's like 3.

Dancing, yeah she good at that. She puts on 1 helluva show. But again, the vocals are just *there*.

I'm not saying she ain't talented, I just don't think she all that.

Aaliyah was just starting to warm up before she died. Yeah she had been on the scene since she was teenager but she really hadn't even reached her full potential when she died. Beyonce is a stronger singer than Aaliyah though they have different registers but I could "feel" Aaliyah's singing more. It seemed genuine. Beyonce's singing is just *there* to me.

She does her job well... if she didn't do choreography maybe she'd have more time to dedicate to belting out ballads

but if you think that there's anybody who puts together a better package alive today then we're done

But here's the thing tho, I don't think her singing is all that. It's not bad, but she ain't belting out like Whitney, Mariah or Toni did in their day.

Again, can she sing? Yes. But it's anything special to ME.

We gon just agree to disagree cause you got your opinion and I got mine. It's all good tho.

Bruh. I didn't say nothing bout dancing. I was talking about singing when I made that last post. I broke it down before. I said Beyonce can sing and dance however I don't think her singing is anything like Whitney's, Mariah's or Toni's was. Her singing is bland to me. That's all.

She can do both but her singing ain't nothing I "feel".

I'm tired of repeating myself, bruh. lol
