And it's funny how after the Bow Down/ I been on snippet was released, there where more songs that had the same bouncy beat with bass at different keys e.g We Can't Stop
Just my two cents

Trap influenced songs were already going mainstream prior to that tho
Like, I get why you guys see it this way,
but you have to look at the whole picture

"Crazy in Love", "Irreplaceable", "Single Ladies", and "Halo" are four perfect examples. And "XO" is coming to smash. Of course she has had an impact on pop music.

I mean eff women. The word is in the Oxford dictionary. Adding -licious to your name became popular after this song.

Of course she has. She may not have as many "massive hits" as her peers but when she does get a massive hit the impact is clearly there.
If she made no real impact why are people still making jokes about putting a ring on it and doing the hand flip 5 years later? Why are upcoming singers constantly citing Beyoncé as one of their musical influences?
That's what impact is.

This is not what the OP is asking
They're asking if her sound has had an influence on her peers
I could maybe see with with the staccato "rap-singing" or with CIL,
but overall I wouldn't really say so
Beyonce has certainly had an impact
That's not even arguable
But, I wouldn't say that she's a virtuoso who pioneered a new sound and brought it to mainstream attention

I think we're all kinda interpreting the OP's question in different ways

Yes. Songs like Bug A Boo, Upgrade U, Interdependent Women popularize the singing-rapping vocal style. Not to mention all the Crazy In Love copy cats songs and Irreplaceable's copy cat songs. But is she Prince? Of course not.

Beyonce did not invent sing-rapping

But that's not what the OP is asking either. If that's really what we were answering here, of the last 4 generations : only Prince, Stevie Wonder, rap pioneers and maybe Aretha will qualify.
She has evident influence on her peers and the generation after, her catalog brought two different things to the popular music and that's more than some can dream to achieve in their career.

Hence the word "popularize". Come again.
MJ didn't invent the moonwalk either, your point?

Impacting music has nothing to do with nationality.

Exactly.
Yes, she's influenced a few of her peers. Notably after DC came out rap-singing in 1998/1999 and popularized it. You had acts like Sisqo and Jennifer Lopez who copied the style. Crazy in Love's horn sample and go go beat were extremely influential. Usher, Amerie, Christina Milian, Christina Aguiler, Pussycat Dolls all followed in CIL's footsteps. Irreplaceable was very influential, so much so that the media pretty much labeled every mid-tempo Neyo/Stargate production an Irreplacable copy.

Nor did MJ invent the Moonwalk. Nor did Elvis invent Rock n Roll...

WHAT? I can't at some of you guys. YOU SEE THE IMPACT OF AN ARTIST IN THE NEXT GENERATION. Michael Jackson impact only truly showed in the 90s and 00s. When artist who looked up to him blossomed. Every girl who grew up in the 00s wanting to be a singer cites Beyonce as their inspiration. Rita Ora, Alexis Jordan, ADELE and Alexandra Burke etc. She is the female artist with THE most impact this generation, and we will only truly see it when the next generation of singers, like every single girl who goes on X-Factor singing Listen rises and becomes famous.

I agree with the OP. Beyoncé is a great performer, but her discography, apart from BEYONCÉ, lacks something.

God knows which songs from BEYONCE' will give birth to.

Beyonce did not "give birth" to some of these songs. They were all made by the same producers, especially the irreplaceable clones. LOT sounds nothing like LOOH or S&T. And Diva and Roman's Revenge comparison makes no sense

And let's not even mention, the fact that alternative bands like XXX can admit being musically influenced by her. When you hear Little Mix' or Fifth Harmony's music (let's not even bring vocals), the first thing you think about is Beyoncé. And it is only fitting that she is indeed their biggest inspiration.

Then why didn't the recording artists reject the songs because they sounded like CIL & Irreplaceable? Exactly. They were so impactful that the artists thought their song would've done the same, which failed miserably.

Yes. They sound a lot like Beyoncé. Especially Little Mix. One of their songs sounds like Get Me Bodied part 2.
