One has to go: Beyonce, Whitney, Mariah, Adele

[Smashius Clay]

Reading through the thread again im ALMOST 1000% percent sure y’all don’t listen to real singers or RnB.. Gospel.. Jazz..
Y’all don’t know nothing bout Lalah, Donny, vintage ‘Danny Boy’ 1958 Jackie Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald live in Brussels, Dr. Mattie Moss Clarke, Marsha Walsh before the disco mixes, legendary 90s bgv Melonie Daniels..

 

[I'm Blackman]

The only right answer is Beyoncé.

If you say otherwise you really don’t have the ear.

Whitney and Mariah are the only mainstream female pop stars in the last 40 years with a 5 octave range.

Then Adele got one of the most powerful projections in the last 20 years.

Beyoncé is a good artist, and knows how’s to use her voice like an instrument—but she not in that upper upper tier of singers. It’s levels.

Now if you wanna talk career and overall impact Adele outta here.

This

I’m just gonna be honest, Whitney and Mariah are in a category of their own, and really can’t be compared to anyone who aren’t “the voices”. On topic, Bey.

EDIT: Celine is an example of who’s in “the voices”.

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

Was gonna say Adele for the culture…but I can’t stand Beyoncés “singing.”

Beyoncé ain’t like the others, she gotta go

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Adele without thinking

 

[the cool]

Fair enough

Beyonce always struck me as a great singer but admittedly haven't listened to her live stuff (or the other tracks).

Adele never struck me as an amazing vocalist, but I may try to listen to some live vocals of her

Mariah and Whitney are GOAT level

Beyoncé wasn’t even the best singer in destiny’s child. She is far from a great singer

The non ADOS one

In what world is Adele a better vocalist than Beyoncé
Y’all don’t know nothing about singing or music or vocal pedagogy
Are y’all even musicians.. instrumentalists.
I don’t even listen to her music like that but Beyonce is an incredible vocalist technically and music..

Adele can’t sing like this breh

Yea, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I think ppl feel because Beyoncé's discog doesn't lean heavily on ballads like the others and she's a fantastic performer she's not a vocalist. That is an incorrect assessment.

Why do you say that?
Adele is a basic white balladeer singer
She’s literally the worst singer on the list

What’s that big Sean song with the Adele sample. That’s what put me on to her. Her vocals are amazing in this day and age. But not sure if she beats B on vocals. This a tough one.

 

[3rdWorld]

Not just 1, but 2.

Beyonce + Adele

Direspectful to even put Whitney's name in this mess

Mariah and Beyonce have better music by a long shot

Mariah is a superior songwriter than all of these chicks

Whitney has better vocal potential but squandered everything. Still, whatever she managed to do hold up to this day.

Beyonce is a total package with multitools and can sell merch — something none of the others could/can do

Adele has vocal chops but her discography is stale, none of her music "slaps" and the industry would probably have no issue replacing her if another cave bytch came along (who could sing well) and was very attractive out of the gate. There has never been a female white "savior" who could challenge someone like Beyonce like you had with someone like Justin who could sing/dance and leech off of the best producers of the moment. Celine Dion was stale, stiff and pale but could sing — but you aren't partying to her music. Madonna had bangers but is vocally mediocre and too over the top with the sexuality. Britney's music was subpar but great for pop radio — but weak vocally. There's no total package in this group. You get pieces from like 5 people but no one person with it all.

NoNobody cares about who's selling merch.


And Beynce ain"t got no better music than Whitney.

The GOAT first album >>> Beyonce discography.

Whitney discog is mid and overrated. She was The Voice, but nobody listens to her music like that outside of that Bodyguard soundtrack.. she sang a bunch of boring ass ballads that nobody cares about. Even in her hey day the black community shytted on her for making white music on some Barbra Streisand shyt.

She ain no Anita or Janet
