In reply to Pat.

@Scoopz: I never said Bey lacks range. Pat did. Reread & you'll realize I had called her technically perfect ... just unable to make you cry. Anger and a tendency to growl it are her go-to emotive vehicles (she DID admit asking her manager to anger her before going on stage). Rare and lucky are singers that can move an audience: Celine hands-down out of the trinity (especially her French repertoire), Mary J Blige, nobody would think Miley to emote but she does on 《The Climb》 and most recently on 《Angels Like You》, Etta James on 《Rather Go Blind》, Aretha in 《I Dreamed A Dream》, even mousy Janet affects you on 《Everytime》. Yet, the bleeding heart with peerless pathos was Assoluta, Maria Callas. That woman's interpretative skills could melt steel. Check her out.
