Hmmm, interesting... I see things the way you do for the most part. I may be in the minority here, but I also see Whitney & Mariah as POP artists. I can understand how some may want to label them POP & R&B because of how they both dabbled into R&B later on in their careers. I just don't understand how people categorize them as R&B. It's like Mary, she's always been an R&B artist. Although she's recorded music outside that genre, she's still an authentic R&B artist. Janet's always been a POP artists that has tremendous success on R&B and Dance charts, but people often label her an R&B artist these days. I actually don't think any black artist was more POP than Janet (until maybe Rihanna came along). I guess it's a bit confusing because these women are black. Bran is actually a perfect example of Pop/R&B imo.

What type of artists do you consider Bey, Rih and Ciara to be?
