What Trick Daddy & Music lovers in general need to realise is Beyonce is NOT and does NOT have to be a SOUL singer to be classified as a Great Vocalist.

Beyonce has a MARGINALLY soulful voice (DIL, Otherside, Resentment), more than that is not a requirement.

Beyonce has a Michael Jackson/Tina Turner Quality Voice that can Reach MARIAH CAREY Heights. This makes Beyonce the first of her kind. This fact however shouldn't make it difficult for Nonfans to categorize her Vocally...

Black Soul Singers don't Even Sell records so why should Beyonce even want to sound like them?

Beyonce can sing ANY Adele or Jennifer Hudson song and do it Justice, the same can not be said in reverse.

Vocally/Musically has very few limitation and Whitney IMO was Vocally BORING. Beyonce (along with Mariah) has done WAY MORE IMPRESSIVE things with her voice than that of Whitney.
