I don't know what's there to argue when Ressti already provided all the receipts. Bey is on the level of these women. I'd give Madonna the edge for obvious reasons, but I don't see in how far Bey shouldnt be able to match Mariah, Whitney, nor Janet..
Bey is on her way to having the most Grammy wins as a female of all time, she's on her way to having the highest grossing female tour of all time, she has the hits that stood and are still to this day standing the test of time (Crazy In Love, Baby Boy, Irreplaceable, If I were A Boy, Single Ladies, Halo, Love On Top, Drunk In Love), she has the memorable iconic moments and albums (SL choreo, SB performances, BEYONCE + Lemonade, etc), she has the critical acclaim (legendary awards and critics), she has had an incredible career as part of one of the most iconic girlgroups, she has the power and influence and on top of that the acclaim amongst her peers, critics, AND the GP. People adore her and her name is being used as a synonymy for perfection. I mean, if that's not some pretty impressive, LEGENDARY list of things one can achieve, I don't know what is.
Yes, Beyonce is only 34 years old, but she's had a career most people can only dream of.
Like, no female was doing what Janet was doing when Control was released. That's where her impact started. And you can see it with every female after her. Her legacy includes so many.
If you want to get technical I feel Full Force was the first New Jack swing group. Listen to the first single "Alice" especially the remix,"Unselfish Lover" & more.This was about 84 or 85, They had strong gospel vocals over hip hop rhythms.

Okay @ you trying it with a group that doesn't even show up on Google without the word "group" being added to the search and who never had an album making the top 100. Embarrassing to the max.
Both Riley and Jam&Lewis (Janet) were influential in the genre. With fusion genres it's a bit silly to attribute to them to just 1 person.
Control was proto-New Jack Swing and then Teddy Riley really brought in some of the key elements that made New Jack Swing a genre on it's own and not just musically, but his image and look also helped define it.
The reason they do, is because Bey's high energy moves aren't especially difficult to emulate but you still look good doing them because they're so dynamic (hair wips, twerking, etc).
Like I could literally post side by side shots of Ariana, Fifth Harmony, Rihanna and Meghan Trainor doing routines super similar to Bey's or set ups that looks like the same.
.
Rihanna does not copy Bey's dance moves at all. . .she has her own, lazy style which works for her. Don't even try it. They are two completely different artists and there is nothing similar about them excpet they are both black.

dead @ you trying to dismiss them when they have produced classics across the board:
Full Force set a lot of standards for music they haven't gotten credit for. They were the first production to have Rap (Roxanne, Roxanne-UTFO), R&B (Alice-Themselves, I Wonder If I Take You Home-Lisa Lisa), Soul (I'm Real-James Brown), Pop (Naughty Girls Need Love Too-Samantha Fox)..and so on. They are the FIRST producers to achieve that feat.
Both Full Force & Jimmy, Terry & Jan Jan had productions coming from Minneapolis Sound. One took that influence further down the spectrum adding more elements to it (the work on Control) while Full Force just sounded like more R&B flavored MPLS.
And i know you don't know was MPLS is either. Don't bother.

what I know is that janet didn't do it first ✓

she'll always have being naked by the end of the song at superbowl.. she pioneered that

Well "copy" might be the right word in her case. But Rihanna is a perfect example of Bey's influence because she wouldn't even be in the pop sphere if it weren't for Bey. Like.. she literally came into being to follow in her footsteps. It's a good thing she found herself, but let's not act like she's completely unaffected by her.
No pop girl was rapping over hip hop beats before Beyoncé, Rih really is Bey's child in that respect. She still doing it and she pulls it off and does it in her own Rihanna way, but that's definitely something Bey influenced her in.
A most recent example of Bey's influence on her... What did ol girl do after Bey's artsy fartsy visual album? Release a collection of artsy farsty videos for the ANTI roll out.
She looks up to her, even with the whole Westbury Road thing, honestly it's great cause she's taking control.
