She’s not a weak vocalist per say. But she not in the top tier with people like aretha as the rest of these women are. She more in the brandy and diana ross tier
Fam, Brandy is an AMAZING vocalist. This came off as almost disrespectful. Diana Ross is nowhere near the technical vocalist that Brandy is. And neither is Beyonce.

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

Beyonce got actual singers and vocal coaches doing riff challenges and breaking down her voice going viral on tic tok






Engineers breaking down how she imitates instruments with her voice ..




When I was in undergrad my music professors and voice teacher put her on extremely high technical levels with the Sarah Vaughn, Leontynes, Aretha’s Whitney’s cause her technique and interpretive wit musically on in terms of vocals were crazy


Dont let the Single Ladies and Crazy in Loves fool yah.

Any musically competent person will tell you Beyonce can sangg her face off (even though I prefer other voices)

Adele got a great voice, but she’s a average singer
If you know, then you know

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 think I’ma start a vocal thread this week!

Cmon mane let’s get to it fr

Even at her weakest moments she could take the stage from anybody.
Whitney came out and it became her song. Even Michael appreciated her lifting that song out of hell from Mya and Usher.



That sad part is only the smallest fraction of the world experienced the true prime of her voice as youthful spinto soprano.. the most rare and coveted of all the voice types

She was a unicorn between 85-89



5:08-5:25 is probably the greatest sung G#5 I’ve ever heard

This made me a believer

I'd even put her above a Mariah. Bey is more consistent live performer ...feel like she has more power behind her voice

But yea Adele :hhh:
