Don't blame Katy Perry for telling the truth. Beyonce is THE most Influential female on earth right now. And while Mariah is and always will be a legend, she is not that big anymore since the late 2000's. Beyonce came in 2003 and ravaged all of them other girls for the rest of 2000's and 2010's. She literally had no competion. NONE (which really explains her multiple Grammy wins compared to Mariah's where she had lots of competition; Tina Turner, Celine Dion, Patti, Madonna, Aretha, ect...)

Beyonce is in her own lane. And I agree with the fellow above me. Beyonce is HUGE in South Africa and West Africa. She is GLOBAL.
