Aretha or Patti?

Personally, I think this Whitney and Mariah are the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc7FuNBOca8&feature=player_embedded

I get why everyone prefers Monica's church-born voice. But in this case, I'm going for technical prowess. Monica definitely has Brandy beat in power. But not in range or versatility or vibrato or runs.

Mariah could never: @5:57

Not for nothing, but Brandy ran all over Monica in that song. So Brandy BACK.

Whitney's was from a bigger God with a better ear for tone. #NoShade

Whenever Janet says "She reminds me of Grace Jones" when talking about Lady Gaga, what Janet really means is, "Don't get it twisted. This white bitch is copying a black woman who did EXACTLY what she's doing a good THIRTY years before Gaga was even born." Whenever Janet says "I love her and she's remained as humble as when she first came onto the scene" about Alicia Keys, what she's really saying is, "Unlike that bitch Beyonce who really tried to come for me on the Essence cover AND tried to read my family for filth. I had to put a bitch in her place." Trust me what I say, I BELIEVE you, Me > You.

Jennifer Lopez.

Fuck it: Brandy!

It makes me feel like you have an eye for talent. Who's the one person who voted for Ciara, though?

Many have tried and failed. I see you Ciara, Cassie, Britney, Jennifer....

Really? Wow! It has ALWAYS been my opinion that women are, generally speaking, better dancers than men and I'm ALWAYS surprised when a man can dance better than a woman. And a man is usually a better dancer when he embraces both the masculine and feminine aspects of the art instead of just one. (Most men are not brave enough to embrace both. That's why most men are so limited and boxed-in with their dancing.) Besides, it's like Faith Whittlesey once said: “Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did, backwards and on high heels.”

Although, I do have to say: Ciara's giving Boy more often than she's giving Girl in "Promise."

I agree with "Promise."

Sorry, but:

What makes Chris unique, though, is that he's the only GUY willing to go all out. All the other dudes are trying so hard to give "boy" that their art doesn't rise to the level that it could if they just let go.

LOL!!!! I live for Brandy's runs, though.

To avoid detection by the main villains.

Chris Brown or Ciara?

Brandy or Monica?

Actually, I disagree. In fact, one of the things that makes Chris Brown not only a better dancer than Ciara, but also Usher, Omarion and the others is that Chris isn't afraid to do some of the more feminine things. Great dancers, male or female, don't limit their gender energies.

I've always been of the mind that Michael was good at what he did, but what he did was usually limited to pop-locking street moves. It's rare that I got to see Michael actually do the kind of choreographed moves that Janet did. That's not to take anything away from Michael at all. It's just an observation.

Janet or Michael?

Who do you think was the better rapper?
