definitely in that top echelon

too many legends to name one single goat tho

Crazy how you linked this specific performance when Bruno washed her

But yeah she’s an alltime GOAT

especially because there’s so many different ways you can look at this

dancing singers get most of the mainstream buzz as GOAT entertainers, but a dude like Jimi Hendrix who put on legendary performances with unparalleled skill at his instrument has to be in the discussion too

Imagine. James Brown and Prince easily better.

My favourite Beyonce performance is Coachella, but even there, none of the best things about it have anything to do with her

I feel like when people call her the GOAT entertainer it's just recency bias

She is certainly up there. Don't know why people trying so hard to argue against it.

I can’t believe this is how some of you genuinely form opinions on music this is insane

Yeah it ain't recency bias. Been seeing and hearing about her solo performances since 2003. She does this s*** b. Just no denying it.

in the bigger picture 03 is not that long ago. Also it's not like an Amy Winehouse thing where she stopped in 06 or whatever, she's still very active now. Which is obviously to her credit, but she's still a current artist

So I think there is a lot of recency bias. It's been decades since the peaks of the other artists named it like Prince or James Brown or MJ, so it is still recent

You moving goal posts.

FKA Twigs lowkey more impressive when it comes to dance out of current artists. Only talking about incorporating dance in her music, nothing else

Tl:dr yeah she's a really good singer but she didn't become that until her vocal prime in her twenties
My point is : that story is most likely false and is being put out there for branding purposes only

when she was a teenager she wasn't singing like she was in her prime, her voice became brighter and clearer in the mid 2000s

Her destiny child days u can see her shake alot whilst trying to sing which is a sign of lack of vocal control (normal for very young voices who have to grow into their mature voice; women voices usually become mature at around 25 and a good vocal prime can last up to 20/25 years: beyonce isn't at the age where her voice could be "declining" yet)

So having a toddler do ridiculous exercercices is a waste of time

Especially when those exercerices aren't helping them learn good vocal technique (running whilst singing isn't good vocal technique, why teach someone terrible habits they won't be able to maintain anyways due to how human bodies work)

Nowadays her voice deepened, it's maturing even more and she is singing her old songs (crazy in love) in lower octaves
just listen to how deep her voice is on the lion king soundtracks
Her voice is changing, which is normal

Her good singing has nothing to do with some crock of s*** story about running around singing when she was a toddler, her voice wouldn't get better doing that

Feel like even Prince himself has said that Beyonce has the potential to outshine even him in regards to entertainment/performance. And he said that back in like 2006 or 2007.
And we got people on KTT tryna say otherwise...

I ain't even a Beyonce stan but y'all doing a lot rn

how? she's still a relevant, current artist, so more than recent she's current.

If you're talking about performers from the last 5-6 decades of pop, then she is so much more recent. This generation can't even firsthand remember when MJ, Prince and James Brown were relevant

so a bit of recency bias is natural

I remember that he said she needed to learn how to play piano à la Alicia keys in order to take it to another level

Y’all mad corny disregarding Beyoncé. Idgaf if you like her music or not, Homecoming alone convinced me she’s in the conversation

So I guess it's looking like a wrap then

Perhaps

Michael Jackson is #1

Prince is #2

#3 is whoever you guys want after that.

They just hate to hate bro I don’t understand how you could watch this and not at LEAST put him in the conversation? Lmfao

À la Alicia keys is a little more than what she doing in those clips but I guess if we wanna be disingenuous and very literal, yeah wrap it up boys

EDIT: I misquoted prince, he said "À la Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles" not Alicia keys my bad 💀💀💀💀

Bruno really will not get his flowers til he’s gone it’s a shame

Those vids aren't impressive at all tbh

It's "I learned this from a youtube tutorial" level piano playing

Anyone itt could learn it in under 1 hour

I don't think that's what prince meant by knowing music but whatever I guess

Beyonce is very talented, no doubting that but her marketing does alot of the work as well, that's my only point here
People confuse that with saying she's not talented which is wrong
