It's not even just thecoli

Like how can you seriously question her talent and why she gets so much fanfare after hearing shyt like this


It's also funny when people say she has no range, but she has nearly an octave's worth more range than Adele?

Adele’s vocal range is approximately B2 – E5 – Bb5, just shy of three octaves.

Beyoncé’s vocal range is just shy of four octaves, spanning G2 – G#5 – F6.

She's also nearly an octave more than Whitney and Lady Gaga if you're talking specifically about range.

I've learned that people actually really don't know much about music. No way folks really be saying she can't sing if we're going by purely musical metrics.

Igh let’s start some shyt den.

You talking bout a lotta subjective canon fodder
..spiritual miracle soul shyt that’s based on opinions and feelings and preferences

Vocal ability is a objective skill.. you can either sing the notes or you can’t.. you either on the correct pitch or you out of tuned.. you either got the resonance or power or you don’t. You either got the range or you stuck whining and crying over 2-3 note pitches .. you don’t have to fukk with Beyoncé music personally to admit that live there’s literally nothing her voice can’t do
Facts are facts breh..

A mf can have a good voice and have good emotional connection but a shytty ass singer

You mentioned Anita..

Beyoncé killed this cover of sweet love

How can your ears hear that and say that Beyonce vocally can’t hang in those ranks or worse that Adele is on her level?
Let’s talk bout it

Music is simple.No need to over complicate it.You either feel it or you don't.Esoecially black folks.We don't need all the technical breakdowns.That's for the people who don't have it naturally.We don't do it out of no book.We do it out of the spirit in which God created us.I get that it might be fun to break it down to breath control, diaphragms, and all that other technical jargon, but Like I said, spare me that shyt.

Cause they just be talking and make it seem like they know more than they actually do. That or they let their personal bias about the singer’s music or image/brand skew their perception of the actual talent. That’s why they’re confused when they see all the Love and reverence and respect that Beyoncé gets from all the actual legends and musicheads and actual creatives.

Mfs get to caught up in that stan culture bullshyt

oh you one of those.. ‘it’s the annointing’ brehs
Gtfo ain no amount of ‘feeling’ gone cause your voice to sing in key if you tone dead asab
That’s bullshyt. If all it took was feeling then any funeral mouener singing and crying their eyes out would be regarded as good singers.
You ain even assess none of my points .. talkin bout dont over complicate it cause you can’t even weigh in on anything I’m saying

So, if I’m auditioning for a gig playing keys and I get the repertoire for the show and can’t play the last 2 pieces cause my fingers can’t get the voicings right and keep fukking up, you mean to tell me the show runner going hire me if I magically catch the spirit and start crying cause I’m feeling the music with my soul. regardless if I’m fukking up the chord progressions and throwing everybody off??

She a pop act.A spectacle with a tremendous marketing team.She's the female Michael Jackson.Who I don't think was all that great of a singer technically...But his brand was a muthafukka.Same with Bey.She's definitely going to go down as one of the GOAT artist.I just find her singing ability bland.

I told you the pain in your belly enhances the connectivity of your singing ability.And no shyt, I'm obviously not on the technical stuff like you are.I don't have to be because I go by my own ear & sensibilities.Yeah I'm one of those type of niccaz.

:salute: preach

I'm not even a bey Stan like that but everything that dude said was just subjective opinionated drivel

"Soulful" like as if people didn't shyt on Whitney's music.... like as if "soulful" is the only criteria there is for good music

The connectivity to song don’t mean shyt if you ain singing the fukkin song right breh.. all the tears and hallelujahs in the world ain gone save your voice if that mf start snap cracklin and poppin half way through the set! You’re fireddd.

If you getting paid 1400 for a 6 night show backing up Luke James and your ass can’t find your damn note and keep slipping into either the alto or soprano note, guess what your ass getting fired.. holy spurity be damned.

How many Showtime at the Apollo mfs got saved with shytty vocals cause they felt it in their belly?

Meaning something like Madonna.Who I think is boring az hell, but I bet she probably sells out more stadiums than Beyonce & Adele combined.Established brands & cult personalities with stans who live vicariously through their every move.

Ever mainstream act is manufactured to some extent. Years later we found out the wholesome church girl "Whitney" Clive Davis introduced to the world was not the real Whitney

When it comes to assessing talent for someone nikkas dont like, these subjective criterias always get brought up to remove focus on what can be objectively measured lol

nikkas need to throw their ears away fr.. you can tell they jus talking. They not even trying to take in what you saying cause if they jus watched the evidence in all these videos they’d have to say “damn I ain know she could sing like THAT”. Mfs ain humble enough to concede

Obviously I'm not talking about the dog shyt singers.We're talking about the greats who have the ability to do both.Beyonce can sing, but I don't pick up any real pain.She feels manufactured to me in that regard.Which is why I don't really vibe with her.Do I think she's dog shyt? Ni.Far from it.Just a lil plastic.That's all.
