The Voice of Our Generation is a colloquial phrase for someone who "speaks for" our generation (the youth) through their music. It's less about vocal ability and more about the message that is sung. That's why Christina has had the title since 2002 and even received a bunch of awards CALLED "The voice of our generation". Her last award for that was 2013, it's still her title. She was awarded that tile after Stripped because it's your classic "coming of age" angst ridden/healing album. She's known for songs like Beautiful & Fighter which covered the extremely common themes of low self-esteem and overcoming weakness. Beyonce may obtain this title in the future, but she isn't the picture of damaged goods. She's the picture of empowerment and independence, lots of people in our generation cannot relate.
If we were talking the vocalist of our generation, we'd be talking about people with the best technique. Not pop stars - opera singers. So you can't call someone the Voice of a Generation based on vocal ability unless you have NO idea what true, insanely talented vocalists are capable of. This is why music nuts frown down upon people such as yourselves.
Beyonce PALES in comparison to the world's greatest vocalists. If you were to take the title LITERALLY, the vocalist of our generation would simply be the best opera singer of our generation. This is what real flawless vocalists can do, since the title has been aggressively cheapened in the pop world, I actually think you may not know:
Beyonce holds the crown of the best performer of our generation or maybe the most disciplined vocalist within the commercial singers. But stop trying to make The Voice of our Generation happen. It doesn't mean what you think it means. The general public has it's informal definition and you're the ONLY ones confused. It's been taken already and she may get it in the future... but not right now. Call her the best pop or r&b singer, the best performer, the millenium artist, whatever. Make a new title up. She earned those titles. But you're wasting time on the voice of the generation title.
I ask you the same for the girls you're claiming... were talkin' about technique not range; have you watch the video already I'm completely amazed by how they describe her vocals techinques; it's not just an audio video; there are explanations.
Technique is how they use their voice. The voice itself is another story. Beyonce's proficiency with her instrument is at a high degree but the instrument itself is very limited...no she is NOT the voice of this generation. Talk about underwhelming. She isn't the voice of anything, ever.
LOL@people trying (fail) to objectively justify someone as the voice, a subjective phrase. And Beyonce of all people

you havent watched the OP video clearly. you would have keep that post. I guess you afraid to be put on shame so you don't bother to check for the receipts. I can do nothing for you but watch you tossing & turning while the Voice & Talent of our generation is there on vacation counting her millions dollars made without promo.

The Voice of our generation isn't left up to science, but the people. Who the voice of our generation is varies as we all have a variety of different conceptions as to what that is, to us. I've watched that video, the day it was made actually. Beyonce is undoubtedly one of the best vocalists, but I wouldn't call her the voice. There are other people who supplant, namely Vanessa. Now that's a woman who drags Beyonce's weave all through the stage without even trying
Beyonce's good but she isn't the voice of anything. Maybe to you, but it isn't a fact.
LOL@Beyonce being after Mariah. She isn't even the 100th person....she's near the very last. Regine needs to be up there, Vanessa, Lisa Fischer, Trevin Hunte, Adam Lambert, Christina, Kelly, Barbra Streisand....Beyonce is never close to Mariah, in any world...not with that voice

well me & a lot of people commenting the video on youtube. it's also the most popular "voice of our generation" video on youtube. It speaks for itself. SAYING THAT she is the voice of anything makes your entire posts on ATRL lose their credibility. she's the voice of women for a good while if anything. she's a lot of more than that. but I won't list all her decorations not to be offtopic on my own thread

beside not watching the video in the OP you havent even read the TITLE of the thread;
I'll start reporting all the off-topics after this post.
1. (some of) those people are not on beyonce generation
2. even the ones that are; they don't have enough popularity to be called so
3. beyonce has not the Whitney & Mariah voice; nobody ever said that but she can put on shame all the others POP GIRL (read well, POP GIRL! I didnt say your talent shows winners, local country singers and opera singers).
Among the 5 most popular WOMEN in music right now. BEYONCE is the one that put on shame everyone. lettuce not. we have greaaaaaaaaaat receipts of her live performances.

Did you attribute talent to popularity? And have the NERVE to try to undermine my credibility? This is where you officially STOP talking, seriously
The fact that you even had the cojones to say that speaks volumes of your knowledge on singing....I like you
Anygay, sorry my feelings of this glorified lip-syncing performer aren't mutual. I tend to gravitate toward actual raw talent
Honestly, Lady Gaga has a great voice. I get it, she makes pop music and whatever, but she's done acoustic performances where she really lets her voice shine and I think her voice is incredible. I like it more than Beyoncé's. As for Kelly Clarkson, if you honestly think that Beyoncé is more vocally capable than Kelly Clarkson, you are sadly mistaken. There is no comparing. Very few artists today have a voice as great as Kelly Clarkson's. I don't know if I can name any that are even remotely close to hers. Maybe Demi Lovato's, and again, she has an incredible voice for someone her age. She's always had a remarkably strong voice. That's just a fact. And yes, I put P!nk in there too because I saw her live and the fact that she can do the things she does on stage but still sound just like (if not better than) the record is amazing. She's so good. Her voice is better than Beyoncé's, as well. Don't get me wrong. Beyoncé has a great voice. But there are a lot of artists that are better than hers and I hate that all of her fans think she's the top vocalist of our generation because that couldn't be further from the truth. Top 10? Probably. But no way is she the number-one vocalist of our generation.

Gaga? Great voice? All she can do is belt and she can hardly even do that well. Her intonation is terribly awful.
You are right about Kelly, though. Unquestionably she has the better voice. Demi? Great potential but she isn't there yet, and isn't remotely close to Kelly's level. Beyonce's voice is good, but god never can I say it's great. It really isn't. It's a very basic voice.

you lack a bit of depth... becaus eif you had some you would have understand what I meant through my post.
why was CELINE, MARIAH & WHITNEY called the voice of their generation? when there was other greaaaaaaaaaat voices beside them it's not my fault if the GP only see the most populars. if I said THE BEST VOICE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW you could have ran here with opera singer; but the lack of understanding of the OP (if you ever read it btw) is real & I can't give anyone the depth they don't have.
go talk about VANESSA to my shop seller here; fact is Beyoncé is the voice of OUR GENERATION (in the culture of popular). this wasn't even a question. move on if you don't agree. that's your personal opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Okay, it seems this stems from more than just a lack of understanding of music. You're incapable of differentiating fact from opinion. The fact that you just said what you did personifies your ineptitude to the subject matter. That being said, go figure dude lol
