Main difference between Aaliyah and Beyonce

[Jone2three45]

No one really bumps Beyonce at all like Aaliyah bruh. I know plenty of grown women who has a grand distaste for Beyonce. Lets face it, Beyonce is full pop unlike how she came out in the late 90's. How can you compare that to Aaliyah? At least compare her to gaga.

Beyonce was more of a singer IMO. Aaliyah was an artist like Rihanna,Ciara, Rtc mold. Aaliyah was the Michael Jordan of those kind of artist tho. She was much more of a natural dancer than Beyonce. She was graceful in her dancing while Beyonce at times look mechanical like in te Girls run the world video. Aaliyah had more innocent love songs while Beyonce is straight raw and sexual

How exactly was Aaliyah an "artist" when she didn't write or produce her own music?

She was a good dancer and decent singer with a great team behind her. That's it. As far as pure talent she's not seeing Beyonce

This is the bottom line...I don't know how many times it has to be said in this thread...people are bringing up all these satellite issues, but this is what we keep coming back to.

Who is "no one" though? lol. problem with this site is people constantly think their immediate circle represents the general public.

to say that "no one" bumps Beyonce as much as Aaliyah based solely on the people you associate with is a ridiculous statement.

lol @ the bolded. youre the stan of stans. this dude really thinks aaliyah was a great dancer, performer & vocalist. its funny but shameful at the same time. i cant even argue with people like you. just leave me alone after this man.
i assume that youre referring to me when you say wacky d, so i'll respond accordingly.
first, why are you on my d*ck and wacky d's as well? you keep talking chit cuz you know you got DQ'ed from this thread last week.
i fell back on the gold thing. i didnt mention it yesterday because that had nothing to do with the poster i was arguing with. and my point still stood because it still under-sold for back then, up until she died.

i never said the last album didnt crack a millie. nor did i say that i was ever a fan. so quit putting words in my mouth. goof @$$ boy.

I'll admit I was wrong about the last two things. You said "a year's worth of promotion and still couldn't crack 2 mil" which was false. You didn't call yourself a fan, you just said that you "liked her music better than Beyonce." Fan was just me paraphrasing that last sentence.

As far as you laughing at the dancing/live performances...why don't you tell me who was better when she was alive?


Janet to me was the only other female performer at the time who was really dancing like that in videos AND live. I'm struggling to think of another female performer that was known for that back then.

No one really bumps Beyonce at all like Aaliyah bruh. I know plenty of grown women how has a grand distaste for Beyonce. The only reason Beyonce is better is because she is still living.

That Giving up link for A sounded decent, but it was studio. Alot of people sound decent after being filtered through a studio.
Live is where the checks are cashed or bounced, and Bey is the standard for live performances.

A at the time of her death, was mediocre leaning towards poor in live action.

I posted this link before


tell me this was mediocre leaning towards poor

I'll even raise you her live performance at Rosie O'Donnell while she was sick


And her SummerJam performance was on point. She sung and dance and if you weren't watching, you wouldn't even be able to tell


come on...you dudes are really speakin out of ignorance. She had bad performances sure...every performer does. Hers are documented...she used to overwork herself to the point of being unable to sing. She used to start off performances nervously and finish great. Her singing ability was always great. No one is accusing her of being amazing or the best, but the slander...

Aaliyah was a good performer, I have no problem with that statement. she's not a better performer than Beyonce though

Who is "no one" though? lol. problem with this site is people constantly think their immediate circle represents the general public.

well when multiple ppls immediate circle is the same way

The only really big Beyonce fan I know don't even fukk with her cause of her music. She actually hates her music

This site represents a good enough-sized portion of the general public.

We got dudes in this thread from everywhere, and I have seen not one of them say they bump Beyonce more than Aaliyah - quite the opposite.

If you wanna go out there and do polls, then be my guest...

She was a artist because she knew how to sell her music and make it sound good

 

[JMurder]

Aaliyah was a good performer, I have no problem with that statement. she's not a better performer than Beyonce though

and no one has argued that at all. Why it keeps coming back to that I'll never know. The most anyone has said was, when Aaliyah was alive Beyonce wasn't singing or dancing as well as she does now AT THAT TIME. I have yet to see anyone provide proof of that. Beyonce never sang as amazing on the live mic like she does now. So to compare Aaliyah to what Bey does now is asinine

beyonce is a "love 'er or hate 'er" artist. these millions of grown women who bump beyonce on the reg.

also, nobody wastes time hating on artists like aalyiah. you either bump her chit or keep it movin.

keyword: DUDES

and to add to that, most of these dudes dont even follow r&b. theres alot of people that came in here voting for aalyiah & str8 up gave props to the beats and didnt even bother to say anything about aalyiah herself.

yet, we're supposed to take this chit seriously?

you aint admitting nothing. we're all in this thread together. its clear as day that i didnt say that chit that you claim.

stop "paraphrasing" and stick to the basics. youre not bright.

homie, im not even gonna get into a serious debate as to whether or not aaliyah was some type of elite performer. ive lowered the bar far enough to participate in this thread. i cant go any lower. i already feel dumb after arguing with you and that baller dude for this long.

go run along and play.

 

[JMurder]

ive lowered the bar far enough to participate in this thread. i cant go any lower.

finally something we can agree on.

why would you even respond to what I said if you knew what I said wasn't too far off from the WRONG statements you made. "I never said 1 millie" no you said 2 millie. "I never said I was a fan," no you said you enjoyed and liked her music.



And you STILL continue to prove my point. Even when you addressed your incorrect statement about her "hoping to go gold", you didn't say "I was wrong" you said "I backed off of that statement." why are you so afraid to admit you're wrong breh. I did it...why can't you? Do we have to list your quotes and put them next to links for you?

Again, what artist DOESN'T have a team behind them?



Beyonce ain't no songwriter neither. Having 10 other songwriters don't make you no songwriter

 

[baller2500]

Aaliyah was a good performer, I have no problem with that statement. she's not a better performer than Beyonce though

Beyoncé - End of time - LIVE 2011 - YouTube

Beyonce-Run The World live Billboard 2011 - YouTube

MTV VMA 2011 - Beyoncé - Love On Top (Good quality) - YouTube

This post here just proved my point. Y'all have to compare Beyonce's talents as an ADULT to Aaliyah's talents as a TEENAGER.


Post Beyonce clips as a teenager and lets see who was better
