It goes against everything she's been working these past 15 years. Her musical (and visual) language since she left Matthew behind is rooted in making a collage of references and genres: taking parts of different demos and reworking old songs, using samples and employing a very collaborative effort. Stripping all of that away would seem like a "desperate effort" to get the AOTY just because people told her she's not winning because she has lots of people credited, when in reality she believes (and she's right) that working that way takes as much artistry if not more. Beyoncé is an artist because she has developed a personal language and she explores the same things over and over: the dual album (I Am… Sasha Fierce, the current trilogy), the visual component (Started in B'Day, she tried to do it again for 4 but got pregnant, and then the visual albums and self-directed documentaries), avoiding perfection (she's talked about this for the creation of every album since Year of 4 and appears lyrically several times on Self Titled), the duality between the person and the popstar (I Am… Sasha Fierce, Renaissance World Tour), her ascendency (Lemonade, the trilogy, House of Dereon, Sir Davis), mix of genres (the trilogy, Lemonade), etc. If she does a strong, expansive and extended R&B record in the vein of Song in the Key of Life, The Velvet Rope; it will still be a Beyoncé album with her own musical language.

All the man that I Need 4.lover for life 5.he's all over me 6.it's not right but it's okay 7.love that man 8.so emotional 9.I go to the rock 10.im every woman (Whitney kinda did too much on this one. Beyonce would do a great cover but Chaka is kinda a hater so idk if she would) Most of the darkchild songs from the My love is your love album would've been easily slayed by Beyonce. Beyonce has better harmonies and versatility (Whitney can't sing sexy convincingly) and better range (her head voice and lowest notes shock me) but Whitney beats everybody on tone. Whitney grew up a Diana Ross stan and that's her biggest vocal influence and where she gets her tone from not Cissy or Aretha. Thats why she wanted to do Dreamgirls. Whitney was a perfect mix of Diana and and Aretha/Cissy/the church. The Preachers wife soundtrack and fighting temptations soundtrack and dc gospel songs were together on my playlist Beyonce songs I'd like to see Whitney cover: 1.Love on Top 2.Listen 3.i was here 4.Halo 5.Survivor 6.1+1 7.Cater 2 U 8.I Miss You 9.Heaven 10.emotion (Destinys child) The Beyoncé songs you chose were perfect id kill to her Bey cover All the man that I need

"My Rose" has been stuck in my head all day because of them.... Whitney never played with stacks, she preferred traditional background singers on records (i wish Bey would try it once or twice just change it up a bit) Power is Whitney for sure, her mid belts were legendary and her sweet spot Tone is Whitney for me, especially from early to mid 90's. The tone in their head voices can go head to head though Range goes to Bey for me. From what I read they both are classified as Mezzo's but Ive heard Bey display much more in both lows and highs Dynamic's ...whew...Whitney played with dynamics like no other!! One of her superpowers so id go with her, Bey is no slouch either! see any performance for Dangerously In Love...so good!! Versatility goes to Bey no question. i mean..Look at the material haha.... I think Beyoncé is technically capable of singing any Whitney song but she couldnt replicate the feeling that Whitney brought to them, Any of Beys heavy hip hop influenced/ sexy songs Whitney couldnt pull off at all I would love hear Beys take on Run to You, Exhale (Shoop), All The Man I Need, Queen of The Night all in a live arrangement that way shes free to embellish, shed slayyy For Whitney, obviously Listen, it'd be so good, 1+1, Love on Top, Me Myself and I, If I were a Boy, Spirit Run to you would be amazing Quuen of the night would be a great cover for the Rock trilogy even if just on tour Whitney would be amazing on 1+1 2

Kristie Kuwa Posted September 18 Posted September 18 (edited) Its still so funny to me: You go to the Studio, spend hours and hours over recording harmonies and vocals, invite and hire writers, develop concepts, revise these songs over and over again, record visuals which again require the help of designers, producers, a film crew, dancers, location, all which requires so much money and time investment... only to drop the ball so hard on anything to follows post release. Some of yall live in delulu land when u think this is grand. Its downright stupid Edited September 18 by Kristie Kuwa 5 3

I listened again for the first time in like a month the other day, and it was actually pretty refreshing. The album is really solid IMO, and pretty timeless 4

You record your best music, like seriously, your GREATEST MUSIC, and probably you best videos, and you spoon feed them to sit at home oil painting while drinking rice milk and liquor❓ Edited September 18 by TizTiz

Burn Posted September 18 Posted September 18 I only used the Bey songs before but I listened to the full album and I really liked the whole thing (apart from the Faith Evans and Solange songs ). He Still Loves Me is still the best song tho. A full gospel album from Bey would go so hard. The fact there's still so much for her to explore. After act iii (if it is rock music) we still need a full return to R&B album, a jazz album, gospel, what else?

It was the first tune I looooved and it has recently become super addictive again, can't stop listening to it. Also heard Riiverdance in a club last weekend and got super excited
