@☑︎#VoteDemocrat why would not include a poll? In any event, it's definitely Beyoncé if we're talking pure vocals.

Adele the only singer I know that fukked up two tribute songs on two different award ceremonies and had to start over cause she was so out of tune

She don’t even hit a grasp on basic fundamentals like intonation lol

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


Somebody that doesn't get credit like her is Cece Winans. They were pretty much like sisters growing up. Cece was the most comparable to Whitney to me.

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:


Nah Mariah in her prime especially that Daydream era is smokin Beyonce boots, but Beyoncé is vocal beast in her own right, I just wished her singles showcase it more because it gives a bad perception of her ability.

You gotta good ear on yah my boyy

Yea Cece and Nip share that same lush timbre and spinning vibrato.. Whitney had more Beauty and clarity of tone

You can really hear the similarities here..



Whitney was much more effortless though .. she’s almost talking those E5s at 1:00 whereas Cece throat finna close trying to keep her E5s afloat at 2:00

See that?

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.

edit: what is beyonce even doing being compared to the other two? You just going on success or something? If OP wanted to spark a REAL argument among the purists and aficionados he woulda added Brandy.
