More range? Lol its debatable

Bey is the far better singer. She has done gospel, pop, country, rnb, funk

Their music is so different tho dont understand the comparisons

Bey is more of a power vocalist, r&b girl

Rihanna pop, edm, club shyt

That said, who would win? Its debateble

Rihanna got more billboard hits

For me? Its Bey

Party, Deja Vu, Crazy In Love, Memyself&I, Baby Boy, Speechless, Signs>>>>

When it comes to hits, it’s not that far off. Although Beyoncé is a better artist in just about every regard

this argument, and dedicated threads, has been had in pretty much every verzuz thread. and they all end the same...bu but lemonade, bu but live performances, bu but r&b, but destiny's child :mjlol:

i think it might be the biggest, even fight, but lord bey stans will act like it's not

Rihanna is more accessible and has better global appeal and that's reflected in a larger volume of chart hits (she has more material that performs better commercially), but Beyonce's got smackers that's generally more impactful and influential.. it holds more cultural capital in the black community (especially her early work), while Rihanna's EDM, Dance Pop and bubblegum records (she was marketed as a pop artist until Anti) won't bold to well with our community. For Example: We Found Love and This is What You Came For are #1 hits on billboard, but Me Myself and I and Love on Top is going to ring off with black listeners. To be honest I think Umbrella (a career defining hit) is going to lose to Say My Name in a verzuz match. Rihanna more commercial while Beyonce is cultural if that makes sense. If this was to ever happen, It's going to shut the internet down.

what would even the score is that Rihanna's fanbase is actually the GP. Her and her music is loved by EVERYONE. she doesn't have a dedicated cult base like Beyonce, but Beyonce although adored by her followers is a LOT more polarizing and have way more haters and detractors compared to Rihanna who will shyt on her just because she's Beyonce. Another variable is that Beyonce has a niche audience that caters to a specific demographic while Rihanna is accessible. For every 'beyonce is queen' there are 2-3 'beyonce is overrated. I don't get the hype. she doesn't make music for me'.

Beyonce wins this because Verzuz is more of a R&B/Hip Hop vibe. Nobody is showing up to hear "XO" vs. "Disturbia". This would be more "Drunk In Love" vs. "Pour It Up" or "Love On Top" and "Party" vs. "Work" and "What's My Name".
