Strong pipes, limited range, shallow catalogue, subject matter all seems to sound the same (in fairness I've never bothered to investigate her in depth)...but I can't front on that voice.


Lion rating: 7.

I think at her best (late 90's-early 2000's) she was probably one of the most talented singers in her age range, but she never really ventured out of boiler plate R&B and Gospel. Even so she was a power singer and her ability to emote was 2nd to few. She could flat out sang. I think she's an 8/10.

Without considering her acknowledgements as an artist. Just based on her live performance with gospel.... she has the emotion and can evoke the spirit. That’s a 10. But as far as vocal ability in itself, she’s an 8.

I agree, but the poll is asking how we rate her vocals.
Song Flexibility (ability to do different types of genres i.e pop, rnb, jazz, rap etc.), Live singing vs CD singing. Album/Mixtape quality. Longevity. Musicianship (Can they play instruments) Classic songs/hits. Entire body of work. Do they stand the test of time?”

So yes, we can include their career/catalog as well.
