Contemporary R&B that is.

She has won 17 Grammy Awards and 14 of those awards were in R&B categories.

She has had 19 Top 10s on the Billboard Hip Hop/R&B charts as a solo artist
and 11 Top 10s with Destiny's Child for a total of 30 top 10's.

Nope.

Nope.
Mary J B.
She has emotion that Beyoncé will never have.

I don't really feel her music is R&B. It's mostly urban imo.

Rihanna says hi!
But she's the queen of everything related to music anyways...

No, Rihanna is and she's not even primarily r&b.

But when she does, she slays these basics.

She's a queen..but I don't think she's the queen of r&b. She doesn't have any real r&b hits.

Rihanna is

I love Bey, but there are other female artists who define R&B more than she does, but she is definitely one of the queens.

Not people saying rihanna. I'm feeling second hand embarrassment.

Inb4 someone brings up diamonds slaying on the r&b chart.

Mary J is.

That belongs to Mary J Blige.

She doesn't? Destiny's Child had lots of R&B hits and most of her solo hits that topped the pop charts were R&B hits too like Crazy in Love, Irreplaceable, Single Ladies, & Halo. Love on Top was #1 on the Hip Hop/R&B & Urban Adult Contemporary charts for like 2 months.
