CHEZ: It's NOT about being loud. Stephanie Mills, Deniece Williams, Angela Bofil, Anita Baker, Brandy, Eryka Badu, Minnie Ripperton, on & on, are examples of soft, sultry, beautiful STRONG voices, they really SING. Janet, who mostly lip syncs, has a little weak, whisperry voice in my opinion and she can't hold any notes and I would not put her on a list like the names above. She is just not a good vocalist in my opinion in the studio or out. There are many great, not boring female ENTERTAINERS with great stage presence who can ALSO really sing like Tina Turner, Celine Dion, Beyonce, Pink, Patti Labelle, Lauren Hill, etc. Also, since when is great singing boring? Some of you people need to grow up. Natalie Cole, the late Lena Horne, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Dianne Reeves, Teena Marie, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, etc. can JUST SING and still be entertaining (if you're a great singer you can get away w/sitting on a stool w/ a mic in you hand during the entire performance & still entertain the heck out of the crowd).
