But who's talking about being the best at any of it? We're just talking about the many different things an artist can do and who has mastered the most of these things.
an artist who can play every instrument, just OK, can sing like the worst X Factor liveshow candidate, can dance but not very good and writes her own songs but they aren't that good, would you call him or her the complete artist? Just because he/she is allowed to do everything (but not very well)?
nobody and i mean NOBODY besides beyonce stans would place Beyonce next to Mariah or Whitney as singers. sorry. thats just the truth.
i like Beyonce im really not trying to shade her but y'all really do too much with this Beyonce is the perfect person/artist thing almost everyday here on atrl.
Because she's not known for only that quality, like I said in the post you quoted.
Beyonce isn't labelled as the biggest ballad vocalist and I'm glad she isn't, people laugh about Mariah Carey's ballads. (All I Want For Christmas)
Not saying she isn't/wasn't a great vocalist, but when you talk about Mariah Carey, most people find her huge voice on her ballads kind of annoying. Talking about the GP.
Shakira: Voice, Perform, Instruments, song-writer, composer and beauty. Shakira is the most complete artist of this generation. Beyonce can't play any instruments and she can't compose, and she is co-writer.
Crazy In Love, Baby Boy, Check On It, Irreplaceable, Beautiful Liar, If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies, Halo were big hits worldwide (top 10, top 5 or #1). I assume you were born in 2011 when she couldn't manage to produce hit singles.
''of all time'' is a big claim, but she is my favorite artist for a reason, so I voted yes.
Yes those singles were a succes but her singles are not iconic . (Only Crazy in Love & Singles ladies are).
where's the creativity though? even katy perry is a more visually creative artist than beyonce. one of the boys is more unique than any album beyonce's released. i just find her music so "meh" so no she's not the most complete artist of all time; that title belongs to miley cyrus.
You need to remember to take all three pills a day...
Who in their right mind cites Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus as "complete artists?" Seriously, what are you, 12?
Smash hits = n0
huge amount of #1's = n0
general public appeal = n0
gets bigger every era = n0
Even if this were true, which it isn't and I'll say why in a minute, this has absolutely nothing to do with being a complete artist. Most appealing product? Sure, but this has nothing to do with art.
And as a rebuttal:
Smash Hits = Single Ladies
Huge Amount of #1: Five number ones from a 4 album discography + 4 with DC, and her #1s generally stay stop for good amounts of times. Not a massive amount but still more than most in the industry.
General Public Appeal = I guess doing something that everyone does and making world news for it is an indication that no one cares about her
Gets Bigger Every Era: 4 may have under performed but it's safe to say she is a bigger star than she was before it.

No because they wouldn't have mastered it all. Shakira wrote and produced one of the best selling Spanish albums of all time, she has written multiple huge global hits, her acclaimed performances draw huge crowds, her dancing is iconic, she almost always sings live and her voice is loved by millions. And she is even a sex symbol.

She is the definition of a complete artist.
Well I can live with Shakira being a complete popstar too, alongside Beyonce. I really like her. Still her vocals aren't as good as Beyonce's by far. But she has a special, interesting voice.

You really made this biased stanbase study their facts better!
Shakira is indeed the most complete artist this world has ever seen. You stated every single department why Shakira is the most complete artist.
I'd just like to add the fact that she is multi-talented in terms of music style! Her music is not just about Pop or Latin Music, she can do it all: Pop, Dance, Electro, Rock, Acoustic, Latin, Merengue, Reggeaton, Bossa Nova, Jazz... I mean! No other artist can top her on that department either!

You are too focused on Beyoncé's vocals. Shakira's voice is underrated. She can hit huge notes and hold them for such a long time! She has a very versatile voice and you can see that when she sings in spanish and when she sings in english. I won't spend much time teaching you but for now:

I don't think her vocals are anything special, her voice is actually quite annoying. But she's pretty and can dance so I'll give her that
No.
those whistles at the end, I love Mariah but girl
Bey has a Grammy for love on top, a song that didnt chart well, that goes to show
