We need your help! Our Ariana v. Mariah Carey debate has sparked a viral conversation about who are the best female R&B vocalists of our time and of all time. We are going to do a draft with every crew member creating a group, and this content will be exclusively on Patreon for our Intern, Assistant, & Supervisor Tiers. We open the floor now to you all, our free and paid supporters - who should be on the list? Who are your Top 5 favorites of all time? Who is a sleeper pick that we shouldn't forget? Let us know in the comments, and make sure you sign up (if you're not already) to one of our tiers to be sure you don't miss the draft episode!

Daygo to H Town

My opinion is based on range. Also, I have seen every person I’m about to name live. In no particular order: Beyoncé Kelly Clarkson Ariana Grande Brandy Christina Aguilera. Jessie J, Ledisi, and Jazmine Sullivan would be my sleepers. I don’t count people from before the 90s because it’s not fair to judge because I wasn’t born before 89. Obviously Patti LaBelle, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Mariah Carey are gods. It’s not even fair to compare any of the younger girls to them.

Hes So Cincere

Whitney Aaliyah Patti Marsha Jill.....

Obsolete_Vernacular

Fantasia: (an acquired taste given the theatrics in her performances - but phenomenally talented - peep live performances). Jill Scott: (classically trained vocal beast) Keke Wyatt: (sleeper and dark horse - peep her live performances), Kelly Price: ( incredible power, range and control - best showcased on her gospel offerings), Jennifer Hudson: (if we’re talking pure vocals and not impact on the culture/sales. Whitney, Mariah, and Jazmine haven’t been mentioned as the crew have already cemented them in their lists.
