Natalie Cole, daughter of Legendary Jazz Singer Nat King Cole and astounding RnB singer in her own right has stated that "Beyoncé Is the new Madonna"
Quote:
Cole also revealed who she believes to be the current crop of “divas.” Cole said she recently met Adele, and is a huge fan of her work, and also gave props to Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland.
“I think that it’s going to be interesting to see where Beyoncé’s career goes,” Cole said. “Because now I would say, she is the new Madonna. Girls want to look like her; they want to dress like her… I think that she could be a great influence. She’s a nice girl, definitely not a “diva” in the sense of what we like to use as that definition.”
Cole continued, praising Kelly Rowland for her ability to step out of Beyoncé’s shadow.
“I like Kelly Rowland, I think that she’s great. It’s hard to come out of the group of Destiny’s Child and still kick some butt. It’s hard to be in the shadow of a Beyoncé. I think Kelly is a classy girl… I think she’s done a really great job.”
No lies detected! Very nice what she said about Beyonce & Kelly. Still no comment on Michelle though more ammo for poor michelle smh
The time Michelle wasnt complimented by Natalie Cole
But I don't think beyonce is anyone's successor. She's just beyonce! Her level of talent is comparable to many of the past legends but she's very unique to me.
Is Beyoncé truly the great influence Natalie declares her to be?
Influence where?
She hasn't created a timeless piece of art (Madge has)
She hasn't been a global force for 10years+ (Madge has)
She has not been a force on the charts in years (Madge has)
She has never been creative in her performing or vocal ability (Madge has)

I fail to see this influence really
Interesting.
DC were a global force from 1999 and 2013 sees Beyoncé slaying a global tour.
Madge's one top ten from MDNA makes her a force despite the album just about going Gold (no shade)? Yet 4 selling 3 million isn't a chart achievement?
Madonna has done nothing creative with her ultimately limited vocal ability. Beyoncé has.
more ammo for poor michelle smh
