it's not hive members making these threads so why is it never Mariah/Whitney/Aretha?
When Clive Davis was who asked was the best vocalist ever, these^^^ are the three names he gave.

Whitney, Whitney, Whitney. Her clarity, strength, vibrato; how she’d switch from chest to head voice then smile with such a humble confidence cuz she knew she snatched your soul. She was absolutely MAGICAL.
You obviously don't know Whitney's discography.Absolutely. Many of Whitney’s songs are dated and boring to me today. Mariah’s songwriting is so vastly superior to Whitney’s material, and takes you on a personal journey with her over the years. She’s also much more versatile…adult contemporary, hip hop, pop, R&B, Christmas, gospel. Whitney was unfortunately put in a box when her voice was in its prime in the 80s, where they had her dressing like an old lady, and singing like one too.
Whitney’s live performances are unparalleled, though, and always SO much more interesting than her recordings. She never sang a song the same way twice. (Kinda opposite of Mariah whose best work is her albums while her live performances are awful.) And I personally feel Whitney’s voice was its best in gospel.
Beyoncé consistently hits #C6’s night after night in concert and they’re talking about she has a limited range. There’s been constant controversy on whether she’s actually a lyric soprano because of her ability of such a high range.No, it isn't at all actually.
Within the vocal community Beyoncé’s abilities are acknowledged and respected. You don’t have to do all that work, especially if the people you are speaking to likely don’t have knowledge of vocal pedagogy. It’s a waste. The fact people even tried to come for Mariah Carey is telling.Everyone is entitled to their opinion
But then there are the facts
Beyonce for instance has close to the same vocal range as Whitney
Beyoncé’s vocal range and dance ability are a rarity in pop music

Beyonce's voice is also very agile ....she has power..etc
Ok, you may not believe she deserves to be mentioned with the greats. But for a lot of you to argue something like she lacks range leads me to believe you either dont know much about singing or you're being objective
My musical world is definitely vaster than yours is LOL.Didn’t read your 5 part dissertation but I’ll let you live in your pop music bubble in peace.
