I'm def not a Beyonce stan... but I feel like Adele can sing only 1 type of song... and maybe opera I dunno.
Beyonce has much more variety in what she is capable of doing.

Adele in her element is better no question, but any other type of song... and adele can't compete

^^^^Summed up perfectly. Everyone read this post. THIS is nothing put the truth. You'll even have the Liberal cacs right pieces in the HuffPost about Bey's music, and go full 180 when their favorite White artist wins. It is what it is....

:manny:


I need to see the links...

I remember White women calling Beyonce a whore and Jay Z a pimp when Beyonce performed Drunk In Love live and she had that lapdance routine...and Jay Z was rapping eat the cake...

White women were pissed...

What do you call a man who stands there smiling and singing as his scantily clad wife straddles a chair and shakes her rear end for other men’s titillation?

I’m certain if I look through enough Jay Z song titles, I’ll come up with the right name for his role in Beyoncé’s performance at the Grammy Awards Sunday night. Rhymes with Goodyear. . . ? Well, how about I just call him a poor excuse for a husband.

For years, these award ceremonies have pushed the envelope; Beyoncé’s booty-shaking was certainly no worse than Miley Cyrus’s twerking or any number of other performances by Madonna, for instance. But there’s something particularly icky about doing it while your husband looks on approvingly.

“Honestly, I didn’t want to watch Jay Z and Beyoncé’s foreplay,” says Charlotte Hays, author of “When Did White Trash Become the New Normal?” Indeed, the happy couple seems to have completely blurred the line between what goes on in their bedroom and what happens on national TV. So much for the woman that Michelle Obama has called “a role model who kids everywhere can look up to.”

I agree with Carlos and get where he's coming from on her being great in terms of performer. However, Beyonce's album should of won that grammy. Even tho, Adele doesn't have much variety, she's very good in her element.

I've never been a big Beyonce stan but lies, lies, lies.

Beyoncé sings better than Adele. Acoustically and otherwise.

This is nothing more than whites giving overhype to other white artists who have a blk sound.

Edit: and with the blatantly Afrocentric undertones of "Lemonade" did anybody really think they would let that win?

Couldn't agree more. Folks keep trying to reduce Beyonce to "Just a pretty artist who can dance, and is a media creation" status. Why they keep disrespecting Bey's pipes?

:pachaha:

Its just like how people dont want the goodlooking person to be more than just a goodlooking person...the narrative people desire is "this less attractive person has to have SOMETHING, beyonce has too much" so they attribute talent with the less attractive successful artist, because in peoples mind there is always some trade off.

Also, people just dont like the idea of someone completely shytting on them in every spectrum and need to take things away from said individual

I get what he means though..most people don't know shyt about music and are predisposed to what appeals to them (tone/timbre and emotion/expression), so if you're not a musician/vocalist; it would be hard to actually realize how much vocal ability Beyonce shows in her performances.. I think it because she makes everything (vocally) seem so easy and effortless. bytch breathes out high belts for days on end.
They don't wanna believe a woman of her shape, can belt out those emotional vocals. Whitney and Mariah are the only acceptable, attractive, "belting babes".

:manny:

Adele just "looks the part" in more ways than one....:mjpls:

You're either a c00n or someone who seriously doesn't understand music theory to agree with this statement. :gucci:


If Adele was black no one would give a single solitary shyt about her.
She'd be Jennifer Hudson status if she were Black. Popular in urban markets and in urban culture mostly. She'd still be known as a great singer, but her popularity would be diminished greatly, compared to how she's viewed now, as a large White Woman who can sing.

Side note: Beyoncé needs to stay Beyoncé and not try to put out an Adele-like album. We know she can, but that's not what makes her who she is.

Don't cater to anybody and stay Beyoncé, aka the biggest star in the world.
But the thing is, she's been making them guttural, powerful heartbreak songs before Adele even became famous.
