With all the recent talk about the kings of R&B, we?ve forgotten the most important of them all: the queens of course. And while Whitney, Anita, and Aretha definitely top the list for the greatest of all time, it made us wonder ? who are the present day queens that are killing it?

In an era of gimmicks, IG beefs, one-hit wonders, these are the ones that have the voice, the longevity, the creativity, and the hits to match.

Chances are you?ll know them all by their first name, but if you don?t? It?s time to hail these queens.

Brandy
Let?s not act like Brandy was and still is the vocal Bible. Often said to be one of the greatest female vocalists of our generation, we first came to love Brandy in the 90s, and have watched her career evolve and grow over time. From music, to acting and more, we cannot forget that she has gifted us with The Boy Is Mine and Full Moon, among other masterpieces.

Not sure about 8 and 13. The rest is pretty accurate.

What's wrong with Monica and Alicia?
