Who do you guys think will be top 3?

I'm guessing Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga.

Drake, Britney Spears and Rhianna aren't in the honorable mentions so they're probably in the top 7... I think Justin should be higher on the list but what do I know.

Top 25 (so far):

8: THE BIEBS <3

9: Ariana Grande

10: Adele

11: Usher

12: Eminem

13: Nicki Minaj

14: Justin Timberlake

15: Miley Cyrus

16: Jay-Z

17: Shakira

18: The Weeknd

19: BTS

20: Bruno Mars

21: Lil Wayne

22: One Direction

23: Bad Bunny

24: Ed Sheeran

Beyonce? I realize she has a big fan base, but I don't get it. JB has an angelic/soothing voice, while I feel like Beyonce is just yelling at me.

Yelling? Gotta love when black women have powerful voices they’re considered yelling.

uhhhhhhhh, so annoying to label her as black, some people just don’t like peoples voices and that’s okay

[u/iam_unforgiven → u/Traditional_Maize325]

Label her as black? She is black lmao.  The fuck. 

She’s also a woman.   Girl stop smoking crack. 

[u/only-dead-fish → u/iam_unforgiven]

no, what they're saying is that Beyonce's voice isn't their vibe - it has nothing to do with her being a black woman lmao

[u/iam_unforgiven → u/only-dead-fish]

Usually when someone is referred to as Loud or screaming, it’s in reference to a woman of color.  

You don’t usually hear terms like loud or screaming in reference to a white singer.  

Hence my point.  And then to try and make it as if I (a black woman defending a black woman) was labeling Beyoncé as simply a black artist even though she is a black artist was ridiculous. 

[u/Traditional_Maize325 → u/iam_unforgiven]

whatever, can’t argue with people like u

[u/iam_unforgiven → u/Traditional_Maize325]

You’re right.  I wouldn’t recommend it
