Gaga was on her Madonna steez when she first came out
She wasn't teeny pop Britney at all so no reason to compare them and even Christina raunchy era wasn't really comparable to Gaga

When Britney & Christina dropped in the late 90s they were getting compared to each other because of the Disney stuff and they were both making teeny bopper hits
But the point is Bey and Mariah aren’t the same generation so there’s no reason to compare them.

Brit and Christina were compared because they literally came out around the same time. All those blonde white girls. Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore weren’t Disney were they? But they were all kinda grouped together.


Bey/Destiny’s Child were never compared to Mariah, so why try it now? That’s the point.

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?
Mariah didn't "start" with Whitney or Celine either.

Unless you're saying Beyonce is not an icon, the comparison is fair. The 2000s was the beginning of the end of the icon and B joined the club.

This thread is bait to lure out suspect posters. If you call yourself a grown ass man and you're ready to go back and forth with strangers over who your favorite *diva 💅* is, then I'm afraid that's some zesty behavior.

as bey is now? lets put her in the early to mid 90s. she would have to deal with mariah, whitney, toni braxton, janet, mary j, brandy and monica. thats a lot of competition. she would end up pit fighting with dionne farris and tanya blount and many others on the low end.(not that im undercutting their talent, just stating facts.) and no social media backing means she cant cultivate a fanbase like she has.
The 90s allowed multiple superstars to eat. If you had something, records got bought. She would've been fine.

i said that, but she wouldnt be close to her current status. she thrives now, but she would have merely existed then. the ceiling would have been much, much higher

Second kicker.....as a man, someone could get in your car and not look at you sideways if this happened to be playing. What Beyonce songs can we say that for?

I'm open to opinions, but let's just keep it all the way honest.















Fan of both

But I gravitate towards Bey more

i said that
No, you did not
beyonce is a big fish in a specially made small pond. not saying she hasnt done a lot with what she has, but she would drown in earlier eras

Nowhere do you acknowledge Beyonce would still be a superstar. "Merely existing", "drown in earlier eras", "pit fighting Dionne Farris and Tanya Blount on the low end" is a world apart :comeon:
