Are you going to sit here and lie that Beyoncé is serving the same vocal in that Oscar Broadway performance as she is in the Ring The Alarm performance?

I'm not saying she doesn't posses any versatility at all. I'm saying she is the least versatile singer due to the fact that her vocals are very overpowering and deep.

I didnt even need to pick from different albums

i don't agree. Just because she sounds more fitted for R&B and not rock doesn't disprove her versatility. R&B has morphed just like Pop has, that was the whole point of "4." Beyonce can pull off Telephone but Gaga can't do Video Phone. Rihanna can't pull off Love On Top. Britney can't do I'd Rather Go Blind. Beyoncé would probably have an easier time pulling off an electropop song or a Carribean-influenced pop song before the other girls could do the reverse. It's not impossible for Beyoncé to soften her voice like on I Miss You, Satellites, or Disappear. Where have the others shown greater versatility?
But you have your right to your opinion..

Beyoncé. She slays whatever she does.

I honestly don't see much versatility with her voice, yet people continue to say she's the most versatile when she ins't. As of how I see it Bey could do R&B, Jazz, Soul, Broadway. Basically a couple of genres, while other can do more than her. Like Gaga for an example is very versatile, it's quiet impressive what changes she can do to her voice easily. But like you said, you have your right to your opinion.

Lady Gaga and Rihanna have very versatile voices. Beyoncé is versatile too, to a less extent. (but she is a better vocalist than them by far)

Britney is a nonfactor in this discussion.

That's where your wrong.


Britney sang in a soulful voice when she started, changed to cute pop girl vocals. Then moved into sultry vocals during the Zone. She did Blues as well, and imitated MJ vocals in her song intimidated. She was able to pull Madonna, Christina, Mariah, & Cher's vocal tone off. You tried though.

Luv The Hurt Away > Mariah
The Beat Goes On > Cher
Soda Pop > Xtina
Material Girl > Madonna
Open Arms > Journey

Britney nailed all of those.

im sorry but Beyonce could never pull of a carribean-influenced pop song , and if she did there is no way she could do it nearly as good as Rihanna, it just doesnt suit her of her voice ONE BIT.

[FreeXone]

Janet is the most versatile.

[Wilkes]

Gaga.

Same old predictable rubbish tbh.

there's still a higher chance of her doing that better than there is of Rihanna doing Love On Top.

gurl, go play Everytime & slit ur wrist to it. This is neither Exhale nor ONTd. They love us here and we're by far the most entertaining base.

Deal or move out the way, crybaby.

I think it's Britney. When I was still on my early days of stanning for her, I was expecting her vocal style as best fitted with Pop but she gave me Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know.

she demolishes those classic reggae songs in this video so a carribean influenced pop song wont too hard for her

Hmmm ok i'll give you that one.

[cypriotpcdfan]

Here she is


and you will all deal. This woman sings literally EVERYTHING!
None of those posted above have this much versatility with their voice!

[LexiDiamandis]

I'd say Rihanna. Although I think Christina should be mentioned here too.

Rihanna has done so many genre's and sounds great on them. Regee, Island, Pop, R&B, Rock, Dance, House, Dubstep, Urban, Ballads, Dancehall, etc.
