Ok who do you consider a strong singer?

keke wyatt
Mariah carey

this is not to be confused with I don’t enjoy her music. It’s just that she has a very limited range. Lowkey she was probably more famous because she was naturally pretty.
Can you give me a song where you think she’s singing well?

Of course you go straight to the top of the mountain.

Actually Im about to hit you with vocal pedagogy(i think i used that right). Mariah Carey has a 6 octave voice, which is the equivalent of having a 52 inch vertical. Everyone aint gonna be able to do that no matter how much they work out. So Mariah is/was on God Mode. On the other hand someone like Whitney Houston had a 5 octave. Great. Then you have the Jennifer Hudsons, Beyoncés, Elton Johns, RiRi and Aaliyahs at 3. So yea of course she isnt the strongest against Tina Turners and Michael Jacksons but she was on the same level as other people we wouldn’t say that about. Now as far was we LIKE, that aint got nothing to do with the price of tea in China. Anita Baker killing all them let me tell it.

TL;DR:She aint no Mariah Carey but thats why Mariah Carey is Mariah Carey.

Ri is a good comparison. But lowkey they both 2s lol. Hell K Michele sings better than them. But optics right? And I’m with you on Anita Baker so I see you aren’t loony. jk

The Kelly > Beyoncé take has always seemed to be like people’s go-to way of proclaiming that they aren’t colorists.

Nah. I think it’s more people going for the less popular choice just cause.

Amerie was underrated and Aaliyah was not a strong singer. God bless her soul though.

this is ridiculous. Aaliyah was cooler than everyone & didn't need to sing at the top of her lungs. Try to sing like Aaliyah, AND ppl can't just match her melodies & harmonies. Some of those weird *** beats she was able to lay vocals on shows nothing but a strong singer. That's why ppl can't copy her. She's under that Janet Jackson umbrella. Soft, cool & sensual.

Comparing Aaliyah to Janet in any fashion is borderline blasphemy.
Aaliyah was young, beautiful, and most importantly, the beneficiary of top notch production during her time in the form of Robert, Tim and Missy.
Janet had the mystique, the hits, could dance circles around pretty much anyone, and is one of the most well-rounded entertainers ever.
and to reiterate, she had hits.
I love Aaliyah, but she had pretty much peaked musically prior to her demise.

I think the public in general has propped Aaliyah on a pedestal she doesn’t necessarily belong on due to her being incredibly pretty, her tragic end and the abuse she endured.

Rating Aaliyah on the same level as Rihanna vocally, & 2 at that?

Off subject but I HAVE to know what that white woman said in that church with that face and get that reaction.

Ri was maybe a 3 but she’s not a strong singer either be real. She mainly talks with her music. But I still love her.

 

[Nouss]

I definitely think them cheeks fake cuz she wasnt packing all that in the 99 or 2000. Hell, even 03, when she went solo. Crazy in Love video...show me them cheeks that shes got now.

But I dont even care. Looks great on her.

You don't even have to go that far back cuz you can't really compare her at 20 vs 30.
I'm talking even in her 30s after a kid, she didnt look the way she does now.

Spoiler

I specifically said she was under the "Janet Jackson Umbrella" which is clear as day. I wouldn't even be surprised if Janet was her favourite singer. Aaliyah, Ciara, Tinashe, etc. Clearly Janet Jackson babies.

 

[Velvetgrizzly]

Beyoncé built like a Colombian now.
it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that she had some fat distributed all throughout her hips and butt.
If you look closely at the video with the chaps, she covers her cheeks when she turns because at that angle it is probably the most noticeable.
she is working her angles the same way all these chicks do on IG because their shape is odd and unnatural.

And while we're on the subject Amerie>Beyonce.

lol I’m no plastic body expert but don’t forget she had kids. Those crumbsnatchers can definitely make them hips spread.

I don’t care how you put it, she doesn’t belong there and nothing about her career, body of work, or style warrants a comparison or placement under the “umbrella”
the only one listed that is worth the comparison is Ciara due to the elite dancing ability, hits, and her being a primary force during the Crunk Era movement.
The fact that you’re even mentioning Tinashe is a credible reference point let’s me know you just making comparisons just to do so lol.
you just naming light-skinned r&b chicks.

 

[Josy Jo]

Then you have the Jennifer Hudsons, Beyoncés, Elton Johns, RiRi and Aaliyahs at 3.

NT believes the only way a woman’s body can change is through surgery.

Throw genetics, carrying twins etc all out the window.

I only named 1 lightskin chick outta 4, what are u even talking about? Tinashe's 1st album was literally sequenced like a Janet Jackson album. She even did the Janet Jackson tribute w/ Ciara at the BET Awards

 

[tr1ll]

You know im talking about octaves right?

Below is all I'm saying. She don't look natural. She shaped like Lala but just not as OD.

she is working her angles the same way all these chicks do on IG because their shape is odd and unnatural.
