Alicia Key's hollers. He doesn't have the vocal control that Beyonce does not to mention Beyonce's voice has operatic qualities. |

No Alicia doesn't holler, she sings wit soul and passion from the heart, with a sexy undertone. Beyoncé just trills and screams. Her voice is great but not better than Alicia's. |

That means she is trying, when Beyoncé sings it's about as soulful as my 3 year old niece. LOVE YA GIRL (B-Day Tomorrow) |

From this (young) list, I picked Beyonce.
Don't get me started, but I can name about 20 real R&B divas not on your list.

If it's only vocal ability we're talking about, then I guess I'd vote for Alicia. As an R&B artist overall, I'd say Mary J. Blige. And yeah, I agree Toni should have been included in the poll instead of some of the other choices.

Brandy a better vocalist than Alicia?? Brandy is underrated as a vocalist but her runs are incredible. |

Alicia Keys? Please. I'm not saying she can't sing, but no way should she be ahead of Beyonce, Monica or even Mary J. Blige.

I hate the way the great vocal stylists are left off of lists like this!
Where are the Erykah Badu's? India.Arie's? Jill Scott's?
All of those artists have a way of emoting a song that is completely lost on every single artist on this list!
