So U created this thread in hope everybody was going to pick Rihanna??
No. His opinion is that Rihanna's voice is the most versatile, and when people went with Beyonce, Gaga, and Britney instead, he was surprised by the varying responses because that's not what he had envisioned based off what he probably has seen and heard before. Good Lord.
Part of the reason I have to give it to Beyonce overall, though, is because she's able to sing songs like Smash Into You with poise and clarity, then turn around and rough it up with songs like You Oughta Know, perfectly emulating the vocal style of Alanis Morissette herself.
I disagree on Beyonce. I don't think she does a good job with rock or electro/synth powered dance music. Beyonces strength is R and B, Blues and all it's incarnations which is why she sounds best on albums like 4, the Sasha Fierce side of IASF and B'Day.

Beyonce, then Rihanna. Both of them have highly adaptable and versatile voices.

Of all the songs you could have picked doing you pick those three?
You shoulda gone with Chillin', The Lady Is a Tramp, Speechless and Bad Romance or something.

Her strength is R&B, definitely, but I think she's still able to pull of rock and dance songs excellently. Her performances of You Oughta Know and Radio perfectly demonstrate this.
She actually can sing Blues and Jazz check the DWAD tour when she used to sing Mystic Man and other songs live. I would say Britney can sing a lot of genres but contemporary R and B is probably her weakest genre.
