That’s like trying to compare Bey to Whitney or even Celine Dion.


Whitney, Celine, and Mariah was the last one to join that unique club.

Mariah was already icon status or beyond when Bey dropped her first solo album.

Don’t do that.



Put Bey up against the singers from her generation. Who did she start with?

Isn’t it funny how people are always comparing black artists, but no one ever tries to compare Taylor Swift’s boring ass to the white legends?

I don’t know why ppl come for Bey.
No one is obligated to like her, but the hate really is something.


She’s one of the best well-rounded acts, who also understood how to capitalize on her beauty— like any other star. She made calculated moves to make it to the top, and she worked to put herself in position to do whatever tf she wants musically.

She played the game properly and won.
I will forever love her for that alone.


I can only imagine the amount of BS she encountered as a Black woman, while we got ppl falling out over Taylor Swift performances :comeon:

GIRL!


I JUUUUUST mentioned Taylor in my last comment.


This is why I don’t fukk with the Bey slander.
It be your own ppl trying to discredit you, while the industry is full of white gurls who can barely sing, let alone dance, and they get nothing but praise.


Hell, as much as I like JLo I can admit her vocals are shyt but even her men don’t drag her down and compare her to the other girls. They just let her act a fool and ignore her.

Misogynoir is definitely a thing.

I've realized that this is a Black people thing. We debate, rank and compare stuff. That's why we see daily debates about Basketball and Football, but you don't really see that with Baseball and Hockey. That's why we have monthly greatest rapper/album lists and debate this stuff all day, but you don't see the same in Country or Rock music.

Mariah has wayyyyyyyyyyy more slaps for sure and you can actually listen to a playlist of her songs and everything sounds consistent.

And her stuff didn’t feel as forced as recent Beyonce material

Also have to give Mariah the edge because she wrote a ton of songs and made sure from day one she was part of the process instead of being fed songs.

I said in another thread about Hip Hop that it seems like there always has to be a loser in some way. Like one artist or album can't be great without putting it up against the last one

This isn’t a good thing

I’m not trying to be facetious but besides Taylor, who else white is there in contemporary pop who would challenge her?

I don’t follow the genre so I dunno? Gaga? Is she considered a white legend?

A person could drop a comparison between Swift and someone else and I probably wouldn’t know that person. Only one you could do a vs with is Bey or RiRi.

I’m speaking as the most casual of radio top 40 listeners

Edit: yes I know I could google this shyt but yall seem to know much more than I do.
