She came in the game at the right time
R&B groups was starting to be no more
The Mariah’s and Whitney prime years was gone
Brandy and Monica cooled off as well as the Toni Braxton and Mary Js
The lane was wide open for her.
I give her credit to be where she is
She have some solid songs, but she has no album 20,30 years down the road u be like track to track make that album a classic
Yup,everytime shes had some competetion she hasnt looked like Michael Jackson at all. When Alicia Keys came out Alicia had the sales plus the accolades. The world was wondering "Why Beyonce cant play the piano like Alicia Keys

?".
She was projected to be the next Stevie yall
Then Rhianna came and things start looking even more shaky with the youth. Rhianna has managed to outsell her worldwide without the Lebron longevity stats needed. Rhianna was such a threat they had to move her out of Beyonces lane after "Round of Applause".
All im saying is Mike was clearly above everyone else regardless of the competition. Really there was no compotetion. Beyonce is BEYONCE when nobody else is around. Cant ever compare her run with what rnb chicks in the 90s was up against. She is still a goat and a legend,but lets keep it in perspective.
