Ariana Grande vs. Beyonce vs. Rihanna: Battle of the R&B Girls

[zakariah 11,722]

I love all 3 but Bey has been doing R&B literally since she was born so i'll have to go with her.

since when is ariana r&b?  

Since Yours Truly 

Looking at her songs and listening to her music, she's just as much pop influenced as she is R&B influenced.

I can't at people who say Ariana has the best voice 

I enjoy her tone but technique-wise Beyonce has her beat tenfold. Rih and Bey are also lightyears ahead of her in terms of performance skills.

So with that: Bey > Rih > Ariana (also she doesn't have many R&B songs)

Ok beyonce is a legend rih is an icon and Ariana is a rookie. Just sayin. But personally? Rih is my favorite followed by Ariana and then Beyonce.

Is ariana considered RnB 

I've always been a Bey fan, so 18 years kinda makes her the winner in my book, but I've always been a fan of rihanna and have just recently been getting more into her.

Also, ariana has only been out for 4 years and I liked her in the beginning then had to hate her cuz I'm a lamb, but recently I've gotten back into her. 

it's hard to decide honestly truly. 

They're all great.

Rih: Probably my fave out of the 3 tbh, just because the topic of her songs are more diverse so I go to her more for lyrical content + slayage 

Bey definitely has the best vocals out of the 3, 4 is seriously a masterpiece and made me kinda stan  but that's the only album of hers I listen to from start to finish without skipping. Her music is great but not varied  enough for me, so I don't use her much 

Ari : I listen to occasionally, I feel like her music and sound is maturing flawlessly and in a few albums her music will be able to  be more deservingly compared to Rih and Bey's. She has great vocals, work ethic, and a big heart so I'm still a lowkey stan for her too. I would use her music more maybe if she expanded the content

The people saying Ari isn't R&B need to get their ears checked and do some research.

thats tru but i dont think that makes her an 'R&B girl" at least not a contender against bey and ri lol. Ciara, Brandi, Marie J Blige are all more R&B than ari

Ariana: Yet to see what she's fully capable of, but truly a fantastic voice and she obviously shows the desire to continuously improve. Compassionate and loving as well. I love her last two albums, but Yours Truly is a bit of a dud in her discography; I look forward to her future releases. 

Bey: By far the best performer; most technical dancing and voice, she's seriously unbeatable vocally. Gorgeous and seemingly humble, the only albums of hers I don't particularly care for, but still don't mind, are I Am... and perhaps 4. Stunning visuals as well. 

Rih: Love her personality, her clapbacks, and ability to not take herself so seriously. She releases bops but is capable of more, evidenced by ANTI and to an extent Unapologetic. She's a fashion icon, unbelievably gorgeous and she provides good visuals. However, she's far from a dancer and she's shown quite a vocal decline from her debut, but still has a unique tone that most enjoy, myself included. 

Who can choose? I love 'em all for different reasons. 

Ummmmm Rihanna's voice has gotten SO much better omfg not worse

[Smother Em Eh 7,133]

I like Rihanna's music the most. Beyonce has some good songs I like but that is it. As for Ariana, her music is too plain and boring for me! Not a fan of her.

Yessss Ariana's voice is too piercing for me to listen too. I'd pick Bey and Riri over her anyday!

The only thing that's improved is her tone, it's more pleasant. But now she strains more, she has a constant underlying rasp, and her voice isn't as flexible as it used to be. She's pretty breathy when she dances too, although I think that's pretty much always been the case tbh.
