I read that Rih has vocal range spanning 3 octaves and 2 notes and Bey has 3.3 ctaves and 3 semitones and that both are Mezzo- Soprano, I'm not a voice major but does this mean they are the same voice type with almost the same range ? Or ?

"Notes" is vague. If it's two semitones than Rih has one less semitone than Bey. If then mean two whole notes Rih has one more semitone than Bey.

Bey has much more control over a larger amount of her range than Rihanna, however.

So range isn't as important, but the control over how much is. Which is why Bey has no issue belting , while Rih sounds better in lower register ?

I'm still learning about voice types and range

I always wanted it as a single but of course TTT was rushed & she didn't release it lol.

Looking back, the title track should never have been released. It's so basic.

1st (Sept-Dec 2011) - We Found Love
2nd (Jan-Mar 2012) - Where Have You Been
3rd (Mar-June 2012) - We All Want Love
4th (June-August 2012) - You Da One

I would've loved something like that.

I can answer that.

Cyndi just faded, no backlash. The work became less compelling. Nobody hated her or anything like that.

There is no GaGa backlash. She has not presented anything compelling enough for a general audience. Including perf last night with the eyes, strange arm movements again and bad elocution throughout. Hence ipod. Bad elocution throughout the album. Had to watch Manicure lyric video to understand the lyrics. She is pushing the audience away.

Donna Summer also presented not compelling work and kind of faded. But still performed all over the place. The homophobia wasn't really a big deal, unless you were gay. But I know both gay men and women who went to her concerts until she stopped performing.

All range means is that you theoretically CAN hit that note. Having control to hit a note regularly is very different. You can have a small range and be a far better singer than someone who has a huge range.

Having control over a huge range is obviously more impressive, but for most pop music styles it isn't necessary.

You can't talk about a song being basing and then to include YDO as a single choice.
