Y'all are sure spitting some hardcore facts. Yep. You got me.
She's dead, so I doubt she is.

All this and yet Bey still has yet to surpass her? Damn.

[M-D-N-A]

This thread is on FIRE

OT: No and never will.

Beyoncé is a different type of artist. There's no need to compare her to Mariah or Whitney.

[T.C]

Did someone seriously just say Whitney barely had success in the 90's?

[Pecinta Mariah]

at the end of the day both singers have mutual respect. That's all that matter

Yep. And here I am thinking April Fools Day was in April.

[AxelFox]

Maybe not yet, but she sure will when it's all said and done.

That user doesn't even like Bey

[Phantom]

Absolutely not.

Sales is one tiny aspect of it. Bey will never surpass Mariah or Whitney, which isn't a knock to her in any way: cause honestly, very few artists ever will, if any.

Self-titled alone has made more of an impact in the music industry than Mariah and Whitney ever have.

None of them have memorable albums so yes

To be fair Beyoncé was a nobody for an entire decade.

Sorry, I've been laughing for 4 hours str8, but anyway my answer is no. Touring stats seems to be your only defense since Mariah (idk about Whitney) never had a major tour until Charmbracelet. Her sales equivalent don't match up to theirs so there's no need to blame it on the sales climate. Adele is out here doing Whitney and Mariah numbers while Beyonce can't even sell 1/12th of 25's sales. Whitney and Mariah are eating good at the table while Beyonce is fighting for scraps on the floor with Brtiney and that's that

This thread has me in TEARS.

Mariah and Whitney can't be surpassed, they can only be joined, it's the top of the top.

And yes, Beyoncé is up there with them already.

I agree although ... to make Bey become one of them I think she still needs a tragic flop era/backlash and an amazing comeback! then she'll be up there easily

[ABeyBraith]

Lmfao I was right from the very beginning, this thread (created by someone who isnt even in the hive) led to Bey being dragged.

This is why we get defensive.

[CallumDavies]

It depends what you mean, Whitney & Mariah have totally legitimate and amazing legacies that will never be tainted or lessened by anyone else also becoming similarly acclaimed

19 years into their respective careers

Beyoncé released one of the most critically acclaimed pop albums of all time
Mariah had been 4 years since Emancipation of Mimi, her last creative peak
Whitney had been 6 years since her last acclaimed album

in terms of longevity, she's already there the only person who had a long sustained relevancy is Madonna who released Confessions on the Dance Floor 22 years into her career

Not a single Beyonce album pre-digital era (2003, 2006 and 2008) has been able to outsell "The Emancipation of Mimi" which was released in 2005.

Plus all the new girls are citing Mariah Carey as their influence, not Beyonce

The Whistle Register, Christmas, Pop & Hip Hop fusion, Melisma

Let me not start on Whitney.....

I love how the beyhive ignored this! Can't find any arguments to refute the facts?! Oop

[Tutankhamun]

Whitney and Mariah have sold many many more records than Bey.

Whitney and Mariah have way more classic global hits than Bey.

Whitney and Mariah have had big impact on the musical landscape and modern singing.
What even is Beyonce's impact asides from some release tactics?

Beyonce is a big touring act but Katy Perry, Taylor Swift etc. are all bigger touring acts than Whitney/Mariah, but does it mean they have all surpassed her?

I can see Bey surpassing Mariah with 2 more big eras but she will NEVER be more legendary than Whitney. This thread is ridiculous. Bey doesn't even have one era that's bigger than Whitney's first two eras or the Bodyguard slayage.

[fabbriche]

No. 90's legends will never be surpassed by the newer generation of artists.

[dcode78]

It's just not happening. It will never happen. Let it go.

[Drayb]

Sigh and no

[OpenBacardi]

I love these type of threads, so entertaining

OT: No

[BrooklynBoy]

Mariah never surpassed Janet but ok
