Whitney doesn't even have the music for the

That's debatable first of all.  Whitney is more for EVERYONE tbh. Aretha is low-key for the black girls.  And that's just a testament to how influential she is. Her music "isn't great" but she's still EVERYONE'S favorite. Whitney>>>>>>>

[THE_FIRST_LADY]

Whitney is more legendary than Aretha imo. Like Whitney is who everyone aspires to be. Sorry i dont hear Aretha mentioned like I do Whitney. Also, Whitney sings better than Aretha

i agree... and i left her off my list some how... whitney is definitely a better singer than aretha was...

[Vonc2002]

I love me some Mariah..
but she doesn't have really have any influence ..
the girls saw what she did and left it at that.. like "hmm that's mariahs thing.. gonna leave it alone"..

and thats no shade
she just isn't an influential girl

yet she is huge.
u can be huge with no influence
Usher comes to mind (in terms of urban.. he's no where near as big as MiMi but ya get my drift)

I somewhat agree but there are girls who really love her......... for whatever reason.  She's the least mentioned girl tho tbh

they do love her and stan

But they don't pull from her imo and that's influence

oh Yea, I agree with this

I think if u ask most of America this would be the consensus

Im not even a nip' but this is just the truth.

[BAPHOMET.]

Whitney's death also had more of an impact than Aretha's as well.

and I must've missed it but Glock did you say HOW exactly Janet was bigger than Whitney? because IWALY engulfs Janets entire career along with the Bodyguard

this really isn't true
I love me some Whitney but she def isn't more legendary than Aretha

Aretha's influence and resonating sound flows through 6 different generations 

Whitney barely even had a sound.

Before Whitney there was Aretha and after Whitney there was still Aretha

Aretha is dead ass always mentioned 

I just dont agree. Whitney is what legit every singer aspires to be.  Whitney>>>>>>>Aretha

i don't agree with you.. yet i can respect your outlook on it because it's whitney..
every singer legit aspires to be Aretha as well ..

Even new girls
Mention her.. Ariana for starters.. Jessie j.. Kelly Clarkson.. tori Kelly has also

She sorta hasn't skipped a generation

That is influence.

I don't see these new girls really pulling from Whitney.. the 90s and early 2000s girls yeah..

But I still hear Aretha

This is how i feel about Aretha. I don't feel like anyone trying to give Aretha...... unless they're like that niche type singer. Fantasia or someone else with that kinda sound. We'll agree to disagree because whitney>>>>>>the ugly one

Hun

Have u really gotten a chance to really get into Aretha's discography?
Her sound legit resonates in popular music to this day

I think you're mistaken this discussion for voice influence
And even if u are you're not really giving her the flowers that she deserves

The whole big voice mess sorta begins with Aretha but she was more than that..

Her skill and discography >>> is much larger than her big yelling moments

Her sound is replicated in pop music still today

Her arrangements
Jazmine Sullivan pulls from her

All these white girls that wanna sound black pull from her

She's so influential that some of them don't even know why they sing or make music the way they do

But yeah we can agree to disagree

Aretha > the crack head

I'm sorry but it's just not debatable. These girls ain't fawning over Aretha. Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson n nem

[MelMel]

Whitney
Mariah
Madonna
Beyoncé
Janet
Michael
Prince

are all legendary to me

[GLOCK]

damn y'all are legit not reading shit

I didn't say Janet was bigger than Whitney

I said Janet is more influential

[Vonc2002]

 I'm not reading all that glock. Yea I know Aretha's music.  I have many cds. I don't agree with u on this one

[GLOCK]

Ok

lets take a gander at the word influence because for some reason y'all are legit thinking that's it means "bigger"

Influence -
the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself

It depends. Janet is more influential to performance based artists. Whitney is More influential for SINGERS

[Barbie Dangerous]

Madonna
Beyoncé
Janet
Michael
Prince

are all legendary to me
