Michael Jackson's the King of Pop, but ...

I was so going to argue with whoever put Beyonce down as the Quenn, but then I realized it said Pop so I was like okay. I think that she is a nice entertainer an all, but I'm just not feeling her voice. Put her up against Tamia or Jill Scott, and she will get blown out of the water.

BTW: Have any of you heard her cover He Loves Me- I like the girl, but she straight butchered that song.

wait - B covered "He Loves Me?"

: dead :

hmm, see people have been saying Rra is the king of R&B for YEARS and i think ppl wil continue to say that for years. will that hold true for B? prolly not. she'll have her reign, and then we will move on. i'm sure ppl said the same abuot Mariah Carey and Britney Spears, for example, and look how they ended up.

Yes. She covers it in her show. You can find video of it on youtube. She holds her own, BUT I prefer Jilly. You know Jilly goes all operatic (is that a word?) with hers. LOL

Well that's the thing about pop- it's recyclable, and rarely about long careers (exception: Madonna). Pop is about youth and once you're not the new, young thing pop doesn't apply.

Except for MJ in the 70's and 80's. Just raw talent.

Damn shame.

And I stand by my statement: R. Kelly= child molester

And to add to that, once they age, get married, and have kids...it's the beginning of the end. Watch out Usher! You SURE you wanna do it? LOL
