Yes and it was meant to be a replica of A Milli. That was precisely her goal when making the song.
And I wouldn't cite that as a problem as it was very common for people to cover/add their own verses to A Milli at the time, so it made sense that she could do this.
And either way the argument was "you've heard one you've heard them all" not "you've heard one you've heard a lil Wayne song"
I didn't mean literally. Like Pedro said, I meant she has too many similar-sounding songs. For example most of the ballads from DIL. Or most songs from B'Day, or Get Me Bodied = Single Ladies. That's the very definition of one-dimensional, which is the point I was trying to make.

I agree with you for the most part with the non-singles of DIL, but Crazy in Love, Baby Boy, Me Myself and I and Naughty Girl are all very individual. And B'Day is very thematic in it's sound but hardly one-dimensional. Deja Vu, Ring the Alarm, Irreplaceable, Upgrade U etc. are all on very different dimensions. And B'Day as an album's tracks are ordered in such a way to show a woman's infatuation with a man and then eventually being wronged by him and then getting over him. There are plenty of dimensions on that album.
And I also agree with Single Ladies being a cousin of Get Me Bodied but only so far as the instrumental goes.
I agree when it comes to our time, but you're going too far with all time.
Also, you're dead wrong in saying Whitney was a poor performer just because she couldn't dance. She had amazing stage presence. With her voice alone she had people on their feet screaming, as much as any Beyonce concert. She'd do adlibs and pause for long periods of time in which people would be cheering, but the second another note came out of her mouth again it'd become silent. That's proof of a powerful performer. She doesn't have to fit your criteria of being an amazing dancer if she can get a crowd riled up just as easily.
No, Beyonce lacks artistic integrity, but she's a great performer.
And Avril is not even pretty. Her long nose and ugly shaped lips make her look like a rat . Her smile isn't very appealing either. Beyonce def wins in the looks department.

and in B'Day her execution of her voice shifts from one to another to capture the song's message. Her vocals in Ring The Alarm sounds angry and seething, Upgrade U got swagger, Get Me Bodied wanna make u party etc.
Plus, she sang I Wanna Dance With Somebody, so that alone >>>>>>>>> Beyoncé's dancing ability .
singing an upbeat song doesn't really require you to be able to dance with a choreography. And it's Whitney. She's already becoming an icon even before i was born
but let's generalize it: singing an upbeat song>>>> dancing ability?

She pretty much just shouts through both Ring The Alarm & Get Me Bodied.

Yes, because the song has 'Dance' in it's title and it's more iconic than anything dance-related that Beyoncé has ever done .
Here's the thing, though, they do.
It's her just shouting.
Then you haven't heard the bridge of Ring the Alarm, and you haven't paid attention to how her voice sounds besides the fact that she's shouting.
Shouting RING THE ALARM and lamenting how you're going to lose everything is not the same as shouting an announcement to get all your friends on the dance floor
So yes, just her shouting to someone wanting to think that way, only allowing themselves to hear volume level. But NO not just shouting to anyone who is listening to the songs.

I have, and the bridge is sung softly... so what? It's still pretty much the same vocal.
Of course it's not the same because guess what... the lyrics are different.

lol okay let's just say that they are the same vocals style. That suddenly proves she's one-dimensional? Because 2 songs on the same album share a cohesive sound? You're just looking for ways to criticize, which is why your argument is so weak. It's like claiming Frank Sinatra is a one-dimensional artist because he mostly croons softly.
