Beyonce "tries."
Her vocal is not effortless.
For instance that "I Care" raw studio video. Those grunts. Strategically placed growls. It's all for show, technical, and not anointed. She's yelling on key for short periods, then grunting. People mistake her technicality and preciseness for something else. Like how Whit just opened her mouth and a belt flew out and she wouldnt flinch. Even Bey's falsetto sounds like its hard for her to do. Very airy and with a lot of effort. The end of "Signs" for example. Just not really natural to me, all tricks.
That lil live "Irreplacable" she did with the group of women around her sitting or whatever. So many people posted that on my timelines like it was just..........amazee. But to me, it was just cute. Sing songy and cute but people swear she was sanging.
There's something so peculiar about her voice. It has fooled so many. I think again, its that "package." Her voice alone is actually very light, almost bland against a lot of people on Glock's list.
