Not this thread turned to 'Beyonce is more diverse than Rihanna' when clearly on records she is not. Rihanna has done many great songs that shows versatility. Let me remind you that Rihanna switches from Where Have You Been to Diamonds. Yet Beyonce switches from an rnb song (whatever other genre influenced it) to another rnb song. That's not diversity. Diversity also takes al lot of courage and Rihanna has never been afraid of that. She has been called by many critics as princess of pop and rnb for many reasons.

A part of me thinks their joking. I'm so confused as to why anyone would try to say Beyonce is musically more diverse than Rihanna. Stanning aside it's just not true

Welp this thread backfired

The hive is actually trying to tell me Beyonce's Baby Boy was a versatile dancehall song and Rihanna's man down/No Love allowed is just a different accent. Can we take our stan glasses off for a second? I really don't think most people in GP consider Beyonce diverse. She has a signature look and sound that work for her and she barely changes it. That's why it was such a big deal when she cut her hair. And I know we're talking about diversity in music but thats the bigger picture. Beyonce's look and sound does not change often and so when it does it's a big deal, whereas Rihanna's look and sound is almost expected to change between albums and songs. That's what makes them different artists and each successful in their own way. But by no stretch of the imagination is Beyonce's sound more diverse than Rihanna's.

It's just that Man Down is similar to her normal vocals but with more accent.

I don't think Baby Boy is a reggae song though. Not at all. Just dancehall elements and flavor.

And Tobe. Yes. We can have differing opinions. That's what makes this a forum. I think it's great so long as we don't get messy.

Exactly what was so diverse and versatile between Loud, TTT and Unapologetic? Are these albums reallyvall that different? And how come no one answered my question? If she's so versatile why does she struggle in 95% of her live performances? Id imagine someone who is so versatile would be able to sing witg more ease.

Not only is Beyonce more versatility, but she goes after different sounds you usually don't her a pop artist doing (End Of Time, Grown Woman). Standing On The Sun to Bow Down/ I Been On with her hitting opera notes on a Hip-Hop beat. No artist male or female is doing it.

Honest to God she deserves no credit for her diversity. I saw a video of her getting interviewed and she's all like 'da producer just tells me how to sing it and he's like 'sing it more staccato' and I'm like wat I do not know wat that means.' She has noooooo knowledge of music terminology, they jus tell her how to sing everything, and because (my assumption) she just does what they tell her to do its easy for the producer to get the right sound from her.

pretty much, she's as diverse as the records that are given to her by her producers and writers

Beyoncé's vocals are more diverse than Rihanna's, her music is not. Rihanna's music is more diverse because she's modeled herself as a pop artist. Beyoncé will always be rooted in R&B.

But as far as experimenting with different genres, Beyoncé does that and has done pretty much the same genres as Rihanna.

Well lets move on then since you agree. Now the question is is Rihanna the most diverse of her generation? I think of the 10s generation absolutely.

What's Rihanna's great ska masterpiece?

It doesn't matter who you were posting it to. I responded and that's that. Do you really think trying to ignore my response what I meant about the educating comment is smart? I already explained what I meant. Stop being so butt hurt. You are being contradicting. You brought up 4. swissman schooled you, and I responded to his comment. This is a open forum. Grow some balls Tobe. This isn't your wall dude.

And having a thread titled "Is Rihanna the most diverse artist of our generation?" CALLS for having debate about other artist and their works. Please use common sense.

I'm not butt hurt, not a bit. I know that this is a public forum, but like I said the thread was not about praising 4. Ok let's just leave it as that. That was your first post in the thread, no? Thus i told you to stay on topic.

I used my common sense before you have even used yours. Look at the OP and you'll know what I mean. I'm not being rude at you, you are the first to take it to a new level. Start reading the root cause of our conversation.

It's all ok tho. Let's leave it here and stay on topic.

I never said I didn't agree with her music being more diverse, (she happens to have more albums and only 2 have a clear theme), but the fact that she sounds the same on every single one of her songs... It's kinda... telling. And every genre she's done has been done by Beyoncé or X-Tina. They just don't flaunt it on every single album, so that makes them seem less diverse.

And her attempts at ''branching out'' of R&B are unbelievably horrific (Ave Maria, Radio, I Was Here etc).

Horrific isn't the term I'd use but I agree
