In reply to Ms. Ling Ling.

Vocalists refers more to the technical side of things. Singers are just those who lend their voices to produce music. The terms are often used interchangeably but they are slightly different. If you want to write Beyonce off as a singer then thats your prerogative. But if youre gonna attempt to write her off as a vocalist then you gotta come with receipts and display the in depth knowledge of vocal pedagogy that would allow you to credibly make such an evaluation.

Beyonce is one of the best vocalists of her generation.
