Amerie deserves to be an R&B icon. Her discog is just too good to be ignored.

Then again, technique isn't everything. I consider Billie Holiday to be a better singer than almost any other person and she had an incredibly limited range. When you can just COMMUNICATE through your tone, your words. It is magical. Poor Whitney.

they are all awful, indeed.

however, i'd rather be slapped in the face than "tucked in" with "milk and cookies" a la molester j.

Oh, definitely. And yeah, you can have a great range and still be far from an emotive vocalist. Poor Whitney.

Whether MJ molested people or not (he did), it doesn't change the fact that he used and manipulated children for his own personal gain and then just dumped them after he got what he needed. That's a whole another kind of abuse.

Mess, people forgive and forget everything in death. Whitney used to get dragged constantly for her faded voice worse than Mariah ever got it. Her XF UK performance

I'm told that Xtina's technique is garbage and is the reason she isn't up there with Mariah, Whitney and that nice French lady

I remember in 2000 Billy Joel warned her to calm her tts with the vocal gymnastics before she ruins her vocals.


She was trying to show out way too much too early on.

I feel like when she sings the wailing banshee aspect sounds like heaven to her own ears and she doesn't realize that it's not the proper technique.

She served two good eras and then just fell off with try hard throwbacks

The worst pop star in that she had the most potential to dominate at least 4 lanes and dominated none of them due to her nasty attitude and confusing her audience with extreme, pretentious reinventions that didn't have the wow factor of a Madonna like she anticipated

Each era I just as she continued to confuse her audience and derail her brand.

!!! It was ATROCIOUS.

Speaking of MJ, his discography is kind of bad.

She had everything to be the new Aailyah and then Ciara came out and people were like...ok, she can dance and rip off Aaliyah correctly bye Amerie

The GP can be so cruel...

One of her best songs. SO beautiful.

Poor Amerie.

The only R&B female that didn't benefit from Aaliyahs death.

This generation knows that Legend X's a better vocalist than Icon M -

Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers Of All Time:

58 Christina Aguilera
79 Mariah Carey

Generation X knows what's up!

Mimi screwed up her life, and voice so quickly.

Off The Wall was a good album. I liked Bad, it was okay, good singles. Thriller is iconic but ehhhhhh. The others? Hm.

What is this fallacy of Whitney not being emotive?

Her voice was emotive, expressive, dynamic. It was everything and more.

[conatus]

Dangerous is his only great best album and Thriller is half-good, half-eh. The Girl Is Mine is atrocious, but then Baby Be Mine is his joint-best song.

[Skywalker]

I love it when Legend X sings simply, like on Say Something, You Lost Me, and All I Need, she sounds so beautiful and ethereal. It's the total opposite of when she belts. Multi-talented singing chanteuse.

[Shaliydah88]

I haven't really listened to MJ his discog, but I get the sense that Janet's is much more diverse.... Amirite or nah
