In reply to Some people need to stop.

What are you talking about? Mariah and whitney are more pop than beyonce. in fact, many of WH and MC biggest hits are pop classics (I wanna dance with somebody, vision of love). Theyre genres are listed as POP/R&B while beyonce has routinely put out R&B hip hop and she is listed as an R&B/Hip hop artist. Also, what does musical genre have to do with vocal ability? Kelly clarkson is a better vocalist than Beyonce and she cannot compare to WH or MC not because of genre differences but because they are sim ply better singers than Beyonce.
