Mary J

[Saint James]

i dont even know Mary that well but i feel like she's the obvious answer and the only one attributed with that title. Beyonce and Mariah experimented a lot musically and Janet doesn't have the vocals

[KatyPrismSpirit]

The queen of R&B is Janet 

 

Mary J. Blige is the Queen of hiphop-soul 

 

Mariah Carey is the Empress of pop

 

Beyonce is the Queen of music

 

SZA is the Princess of cont. R&B

[jdmc219]

[SwiftLover]

Brandy

[reymiu]

Where is Alicia Keys in the poll  ?

 

She just achieved her 14th no.1 hit on Adult R&B earlier this year - extending her record for most No. 1s among all acts (male AND female)

I’d agree it’s Mary J B also, essentially.

[RihRihGirrrl]

Mary, Brandy and Toni have contributed the most to R&B in my opinion

[Azulito]

Ciara. 

[naval23]

the one with the #1 R&B song of all-time "Be Without You"

 

the one who debuted with 730k+ sales almost 15 years into their career 

 

 

[Virgos Groove]

Mary has the influence (basically pioneered hip hop soul) and the longevity. Even Mariah, at the peak of her career, wanted the respect Mary had in R&B circles.

Mariah 

 

Mary J more like Queen of Hip Hop Soul

[Kristie Kuwa]

Mary for older gens, Bey for newest gen

I think Brandy's sound is very much pure R&B for me: her tone, harmonies, grooves, lyricism.

[Slayn]

Erykah Badu or Alicia but Brandy from the poll

[TheGreatestX]

Janet has 16 number ones on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart, so her.

[Zoe_]

Um, Aretha Franklin.

She is ranked as Billboard's most successful solo artist on the R&B/Hip-Hop All-Time Chart.

[Shimenawa]

Brandy

[theweekend]

Mary J. Blige and that's not a discussion.

 

for the new gen, I really don't know who will take the title.

[JoAddams]

[ReH2o]

Ashanti

[Scorp]

Aretha

Mary

Beyonce
