Salute for that one mate, that's very much how I think a lot of people feel about beyonce. shouts rather than sings too much too, and as much as she generally seems a great peformer its all very mechanical.
If Aaliyah was still here, do you think she would be the best female artist in R&B/Pop right now?

Like dude said....Aaliyah came in the game rocking baggy clothes....well which females we all know was doing that first? it damn sure wasn't en vogue.....Mary wasn't doing that either. Even Beyonce and her crew were caught up in 1993 looking like TLC clones.
I never said Aaliyah was the only 1 doing this
bro..she has a strong, robust voice. Ofcourse, she's gonna be belting a lot in her songs..
chick shows restraint as well
That's like criticizing Whitney and Aretha for their powerful voices and associating it with things like "shouting" when their technique suggest otherwise..
Beyoncé's vocal ability is legit..like really legit. Doesn't matter if you don't like her voice or don't feel anything when she sings. The skill and execution speaks for itself.
I hate Patti's voice. It has the cold, piercing quality that fukks my ears up.. can't deny the woman can clear an auditorium with her instrument, though.
Saw her in Philly..
I'll never discredit her vocal ability ever again
Outside Of Brandy and Monica, who who was fukkin with Aaliyah??
Cough Cough Rhianna... plus although Aaliyah was inconsistent as a live performer, she also had performance where she sung well live.
Aaliyah was bigger musically than Brandy and Monica.
One, she had the R.Kelly cosign when he was coming off of 12 play ... first album 3 million plus.
One In A Million had 7 top 40 singles. Not to mention The Anastasia song....
We gonna stop there. We not even gonna touch 98-01

Not right now...
Maybe at a point after 2001, like the mid-2000s would've been the peak of her success. But she'd be 37 years old at this point, and probably already had her most popular album years ago. In 2016, there's only a couple of 20+ year careers still thriving. I don't think she would've been one of them.

You mean in her age group?
Because I'd say MJB developed a more dedicated fanbase than any of them did, in a relatively short time, and she still has this fanbase despite the fact she hasn't had a huge hit in like 10 years...
Here's Aaliyah beating out, a prime Christina Augerlia , and Britney Spears for best female artist...
Menelik II
I wanna see receipts!
That was the cac effect siryep instead of a diamond project like "loose" going to nelly futardo it would have went to Aaliyah
especially if their personal relationship stayed the same.
This.... She was a good dancer, had her own style, and had some good hits, but keeping it real, her death elevated her far more than her actual talent--and if she were still alive she would be on the same level as a lot of the 90's female R&B artists.
Oan, Beyoncé isn't a 90's solo artist anyway. She was in a girl group, and went solo in the early 2000 era--an era which was also different from the 90's era. So technically Beyoncé is a 2000 era R&B singer--it was 2003 when she had her first solo album and since then she has continued to evolve.

Beyonce has more powerful vocals then Aaliyah... Aaliyah voice was more laid back, and smooth. yet when Aaliyah performed live, she tried to add power to her vocals by singing with a deeper voice, and most time it didn't translate well.
Beyonce became solo in 2003

everybody falls off 
Mariah use to drop diamond albums in her sleep....what that last joint do?
what about Monica? Brandy?
Lets be reality.
Aaliyah was dope.I wish we could leave it at that.
I know its hard to when we dont get to see an artist reach their peak, especially when they pass right as they were about to really take off...happened to Pac and Big...but we foolin if we really think those artists would be on top of the game 15 years later....nobody does that...
