base talk Is Beyonce in the top 3 best performers of all time?

[Weld_E]

If not, name 3 performers who are better, and please use objective metrics, not subjective ones like “connects with the audience better” etc.

[Album Leak]

What are the objective metrics of a great performer? 

[WEEKND]

She’s up there with Tina Turner and Aretha 

[k4rmabutterfly]

Yes, and she’s not #2 or #3 

[Starshine]

Yes, and she’s not #2 or #3 (2)

[Capris Groove]

Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, and Madonna are my picks. Beyoncé is right after.

[alejandreaux]

James Brown, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, and Beyoncé are the ultimate elite entertainers tbh. they are the final bosses that everyone will be compared to until the end of time.

[Devin]

shes def one of the best performers of all time.

[JonginBey]

She’s at the top.

[Anvarie]

She’s #1

 

who else could go from belting At Last, to dancing and singing Single Ladies and Crazy in Love?

I would say top 5/10 for sure but we have to account for James Brown, MJ, Prince, Madonna, Janet, Usher and Tina Turner. And I’m sure there are others but my mind is blanking. Out of these people I would rank her like maybe 4 or 5. To round out the type 10 I would throw in Britney, Chris Brown (I can’t stand him), Gaga and Shakira. That’s 12 but you get my point.

The only right answer  

[Dr. Alexander]

She is easily at the top but I think if you take away the dancing, Fantasia would be over her. 
 

That woman is a performer. She’s like…annointed. The way she feels the music, the way she paints the story to the audience, the way she embodies the feeling of everything on the stage, her stage presence. It’s unreal. 

[Mitsouko]

Probably. Madonna, Tina, and Bey are my top 3 in any order.

[BrandNewBrandon]

She's definitely considered the best performer of her generation and the one that came after and the current. 

 

But before her there were artists like Madonna, Janet, Prince and Michael Jackson. 

 

I'd say she's probably in the Top 10 of all time performers in pop music.

Yes, she's one of the few that can serve amazing choreo while delivering amazing vocals as well. And let's not even talk about the elevated level of production.

[oceans]

I think so, along blackpink and Michael Jackson 

[dirrtydiana]

Yes: 

 

MJ, tay, and bey are the top 3 POATs

 

 

[DamianSolo]

It's not important for her to be top three; the overall point is that she's one of the best performers of all time. She's in a league with legends.

[She-Rah]

She’s top 3

 

madonna

tina turner 

Beyoncé 

 

I give the #1 spot to Madge because she was a pioneer for these larger than life tours Beyoncé and Taylor are now doing. They are following her footsteps.
