She’s got power and can do a lot with her voice, just not like Beyoncé. Give “the Electric Lady” a spin from front to back. Probably the last good example of an R&B album before that art was completely lost to pop charting.

Arianna hit new heights when Victoria Monet was writing all that stuff. But the core talent Arianna has is nuts. Mariah even showed love.
Sza is too “bedroom R&B” coded. She’s from the Jhene Amerie etc tree. Sza fan “sing” but she’s not a singer IMO. She’s got amazingly written songs but TALENT? Nah.
If Arianna Grande can do that, it doesnt show in the music she makes tbh.
I didn’t have to berate anyone. Plenty of us were around when DC started featuring and performing. She’s had it from day one. YOU weee the one that felt the need to be weird about Beyoncé to prove an incorrect point
Bruh to me Beyoncé still hasn’t topped her debut album and has been making pop nonsense for 20 years. Only on renaissance did I feel like she was finding her footing again.

The thing with being famous is that she has to cater to all these groups instead of the core of the art.
I miss R&B Beyoncé.
Keri sat out for no reason. She could be where Sza is right now.
When you hear Beyoncé do “freedom” then you know Janelle Monae could easily do this. EASY
Body
VocalsThere’s a reason The Dream’s non singing ass writes her records.Justin Timberlake is another mediocre overrated singer. Nobody is calling that snooze duet they did together a classic let alone remembers that bullshyt either. Its almost 20 years since thats been out too and not a single play or word about that trash.it was and still is a terrible record.
And I’m a fan of The Dream cause of the complete artist package etc.
Keri had better records tho at the time.
Another thing too. Yall notice in the 20 something years of her going solo that Beyonce has NEVER done any collabos with other R&B singers?i could be wrong but aside from Destiny Child, who has she done a collabo with in R&B? Its shyt like that that speaks volumes.
I really believe people just be saying shyt online. So far in this thread Arianna Grande and Chili and now better singers than Beyonce.
I'll shut up when people talk about Beyonce politicking, but nikkas start attaching that to her vocals and be saying anything. Beyonce vocals have never been in question. Like have your agenda but be accurate. We hear Beyonce's raw/live vocals all the time.
You forgot Summer Walker and Teyana Taylor
Which is wild because Teyana can't sing at all.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Not that Beyonce is as much as her Hive claims she's an all-time GOAT, she's clearly better than Amerie and Keri. Not saying blackballing isn't a thing, but she didn't need to do it for them... they didn't have the songs or the "it" factor.
Beyonce has the total package and a superior voice (It's a 7 of 10 if im being generous). Only people who could compete in her lane were Aaliyah, Rihanna, and Lizzo; they definitely have the hits. But Aaliyah has a weaker voice and died, Rihanna isn't really in Beyonce's lane and has a weaker voice too, and I think Lizzo is under Beyonce's wing if she doesn’t self destruct before she hits that level.

Amerie and Keri are shower singers without the studio, but are GOATs pen wise and with a machine backing them up. Beyonce just got Unicron with church like vocals.
If I had a choice to listen to Dangerously in Love vs Amerie's first album. I'm falling in love on the stoop in 2002 in 2025
