Alicia Keys is more comparable to Beyonce and Rih enough for a Verzuz because it's about the songs, and they all have a long list of hit songs. Quite a few are mainstream hits. They were it girls of the 00s. Rih has more mainstream hits. No one's a perfect match, but it's better than having a neo soul artist competing with no mainstream hits while everyone knows all the words to Alicia Key's songs. Beyonce fans just do the most. Y'all basically want to say no one is even near the level of Beyonce, so no one is fit to battle her. Alicia was just as big an artist in her hay day.

I cant even see Beyonce doing something like this and not because she's that much better than any of these people, but because I literally cant see her sitting and having conversations, reminiscing, being candid, ki'ing, etc. 

Im not saying she can't, we've seen her be all these things, but its like she only does it when its being .... documented/planned, for an editing process afterwards? Like I cant see her candidly just sitting and doing a Versuz.

Yup.

If Beyonce were to ever do a Verzuz (which she wouldn't), the environment would have to be controlled. Hell, her and Jay would have to be in charge. That sucks the fun out of Verzuz.

Post by: Annie on December 09, 2021, 03:12:35 PM
I doubt Jay would let her do it. They would need a big budget. I wonder if Bey will ever do something for Tidal again since they are trying to revive it.

yea. I think she's very sensitive to public opinion no matter how tough she acts. Mainly because besides the Hive, ppl in general seem to think she's a bad person and I think this constant striving for perfection is the reaction

Well she's just as successful as them with sales, awards, and billboard and she came out around the same time as them. I can see why she would consider them her contemporaries. But why she think anyone wants to see her again is beyond me. Only people to do verzuz over were Tim & Swizz and if it wasn't for it being there's I doubt that would've happened either

She already did one with John legend, that's enough.
they received a pretty dry reception and it wasn't a hit Verzuz like some of the others Tbh. That's the real reason she and Swizz keep saying she needs a round 2  :dead:

Swizz hinted that they're trying to get some of the Artists from last year to do a live version some time next year, in concert form.

That could be sickening. It certainly won't be ghetto like the Bone thugz and Mafia one  :kii: That was .... Wow

Same. It's all about her mystique and being untouchable which has obviously worked for her over the years. I ain't even mad at it cuz I'm sure many people wish they could go back and do some of that

It hurts some of the fans tho. There are pros and cons to how she operates, but, more pros i think.

Only 160k viewers at its peak on IG is a flop for Verzuz.
