I mean Christina has top several Vocalists list including being the only artist under 30 on rolling stones 100 greatest singers.

No Beyonce to be found

(1) Jesus himself could bestow "The Greatest Voice" title upon X, doesn't change the fact that the sound she produces is ugly and out-of-tune.
(2) The ancient Rolling Stone List had a flawed methodology and asked "Each voter to list his or her 20 favorite vocalists from the rock era, in order of their importance." One has to wonder why Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Chaka Khan, Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Tony Bennett and Sarah Vaughan weren't on the list? So in other words, it wasn't based on any sort of OBJECTIVITY.
(3) Us Beyonce stans don't really care for those silly lists compiled on some pop culture blog:

"She [Beyonce] is an extraordinary vocal figure in that regard. And I would argue that if you look at the kind of generation of R&B vocalists who have emerged, she and Mary are the clear choices for the most extraordinary voices of Black female vocalists in that tradition" - Professor Mark Anthony Neal, Duke University.

"Beyonce is one of the greatest singers we have today" - Placido Domingo

Yes, only people who don't know talent disagree, and that explains the people saying no

bey0nce

Of course

The full crescendo she did at 2:54 WITH vibrato is UNREAL and no other pop girls are doing it tbh.

Travis Bickle

Xtina is

LadyLana

the people denying Beyonces talent....do you have ears?
She is definitely up there with the greats. Her voice is amazing and you can't deny it!
Of our generation, she's definitely number one for me! But some other girls are very close to her (Xtina, Adele, Gaga, Florence)

beyvarotti

Obviously she is.

atrlster

LOL @ the Beyonce/Florence and The Machine stan war

Barbarella

I'd never debate with 96.5% of ATRL members about vocal abilities.
These are the same people that tried to discredit Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'.
It would be like the Oscar Academy debating with The Kids Choice people.

How many times has this very same thread been made, honestly?

Beyonce is an incredible vocalist (and she is certainly a better vocalist than my fave, Florence, who never had serious vocal training, unlike Beyonce), but...

The public doesn't care about someone being a good vocalist! 99% of people do not have the ear to recognize great technique from merely good technique, and most people don't care anyways. The tone of a voice is more likely more important to someone's ability to enjoy a voice than having good vocal training. I mean, Bey is a great vocalist, but Broadway and the Opera are both full of probably even better vocalists, AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM.

Xtina is a good example - she is not a good vocalist, but she had a beautiful tone and could belt out big notes, so the public thought - that girl has a voice! Actually, my fave Flo is similar: she does not abuse her voice as badly as Christina, but its her tone and ability to emote that get to people, NOT having good vocal technique. Adele is another example - she is a decent vocalist, but its her smokey voice and ability to reach people emotionally that has given her so much success as a singer.

Beyonce is recognized a s a great performer, and obviously the people who give out awards appreciate her immense talent, but she is NOT "known" by the public as the best singer out there, and making the same thread every two months isn't ever going to change that, nor is it going to get the public to care about or recognize sterling vocal technique vs. just good singing.

This is true, Beyonce doesn't get enough credit for her voice, but it still shouldn't stop The Hive from recognizing who actually IS the best vocalist of the generation.

J a y

Of course.

Sadie Saxton

Damn straight.

cats&fashion

None of these girls even come to close to the queen

Maiko

Yes, she is. I can't believe people even mentioned Florence. Just because you're a loud and powerful singer doesn't make you great. She often messes up the melodies live and doesn't have much control.
