Is Whitney the greatest female singer of all time?

[winb83]

Been listening to her hits and not only does it make me feel that way but also that we're unlikely to see such a talent put it together like that again.

I guess the modern star of that level is Beyonce. Well no hate but Beyonce isn't even close to Whitney's level as a singer or in terms of quality hits either.

Realistically she's easily on Michael Jackson's level on her hits and as a singing talent I feel like she's a better singer than him.

Two Goats.

I mean I didn't even know that I Will Always Love You was a Dolly Parton song until I was an adult because Whitney killed it so hard the song is simply associated with her over Dolly now.

If you mean greatest as in sounds the best or whatever, then no, and she ain't on Michael Jackson level either and I love whitney Houston.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

No

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

 

[Bmezy]

That’s what they say, so I guess she is.

 

[Cyrus' Wife]

Yes. /end thread

 

[Secure Da Bag]

She was the best pop singer of her time. Maybe of all time. But the BEST FEMALE SINGER of all time? Nope.

Aretha is miles ahead of Whitney

 

[Bmezy]

I’ll never understand why Beyonce is ALWAYS the reference point/standard of comparison.

 

[Man On Fire]

Any order

Aretha
Whitney
Mariah
Chaka
Patty

 

[OnlyOneBoss]

Aretha never existed OP?

 

[Sauce Dab]

We talking about hits or just vocals? Because if we talking about vocals then yes Whitney (or Mariah) the GOAT

 

[BK The Great]

I prefer her than most. But you got others like Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross etc. She really set the tone for others though.

I’ll never understand why Beyonce is ALWAYS the reference point/standard of comparison.

She's the modern R&B singer that transcended R&B to become a pop icon.

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

Vocally I'd say yes
