Everyone’s got a right to their opinion — even if it’s way off. If Trick said Beyoncé’s voice isn’t soulful, I could maybe get that. But saying she’s not a vocalist? She’s got control, tone, power when needed — and range. No, she’s not Whitney or Celine, but she is a vocalist.

Her voice can be soft, haunting, layered in harmonies that most wouldn’t even try. She plays with phrasing and runs in a way that feels crafted but still emotional. sings scales in like I guess it could be considered as Arabic / Egypitan style...sounds ethereal, mesmerising, haunting — that demonstrates skills as........a vocalist...

She might not "shake wigs in church", but she’s been making people feel something for 20+ years. That counts too.
