August 5, 201113 yr Mariah's voice, back catalogue and aura of festivity beat Beyonka hands down. I must admit I do with the mariah who wore clothes and could sing. Sadly she left us many years ago. Beyonce all the way for me
August 5, 201113 yr I must admit I do with the mariah who wore clothes and could sing. Sadly she left us many years ago. From about late 2009 when she started piling the weight on Mariah really got her voice back. There are some fantastic vocal performances from concerts she did around that time.
August 5, 201113 yr Personally I would prefer a win for Beyonce. In contrast to what everyone else is saying, I think Beyonce has a stronger discograohy on the whole. Certainly in regards to singles at least, I admit that albums wise there have tended to be a lot of filler, though I think '4' has been an extremly strong album. Down with hate for 'Run The World' though. It wasn't THAT bad. Rihanna is an artist who's singles are either amazing or awful. And I think this was shown rather nicely when the brilliant 'Man Down' and the sickly 'California King Bed' were doing the rounds around the same time. Nice to see Pink this high though, the two Greatest Hits singles were technically what GH singles should be I suppose, in that they sounded exactly like every other song on the album. Katy Perry should not be that high though.
August 5, 201113 yr Beyonce for the win. Beyonce is the full package: gorgeous, incredible singer, amazing dancer and great songs. Rihanna has great songs, yes, but her voice is only quite good and she just doesn't have the presence that Beyonce has.
August 5, 201113 yr Beyoncé is as boring as they come - it's just that she has an amazing voice and fairly decent songs that people loon over her so hard. It doesn't even feel like theres any ever real emotion in her songs. Rihanna's been far more innovative as can be seen with 'Rated R' and some of 'Loud' and probably has one of the strongest discographies in quite some time. She may not have the voice of Beyoncé but she probably has more personality in her big toe than Beyoncé does. She'll be around for a long time - the fact she's put a new album out nearly every year and is constantly in the charts, yet the public have never really gotten bored of her or she ever really had a flop era says alot.
August 5, 201113 yr Author 2 5 Beyonce 810 Highest Position: 1 (troylovesmusic, Aled, Leonardo, Theo, Lovett) Bitch Slap(s): 3 (DanieLMFAO, Doug, Big Mistake) Number of Votes: 39 Most Known Hits: Independent Women, Survivor, Bootyliscious, Lose My Breath, Single Ladies, Halo, If I Were A Boy, Crazy In Love, Run The World (Girls), Sweet Dreams, Beautiful Liar http://www.beyoncestar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/beyonce_knowles_30.jpg Well a lot has already been said with regards to Beyonce in this thread, so I'm going to keep my comments brief. She started out in Destiny's Child back in the 1990s and launched a solo career in 2002 with the song 'Work It Out' from the Austin Powers Goldmember movie. Her solo endeavours really took off the following year with one of pop's classic tracks 'Crazy In Love' and her debut solo album both topping the UK charts and achieving huge international success, and since then Beyonce has never looked back. Hits such as 'Irreplaceable', 'Halo', 'Single Ladies', 'Listen', 'If I Were A Boy' and 'Beautiful Liar' have been flung into charts across the globe. And it's not just as a solo artist that Beyonce has gained international recognition, as Destiny's Child are regarded as the biggest selling girlband in the world after the Spice Girls. She has delivered some pretty good songs, though there's nothing in her back catalogue I feel is particularly spectacular, she's also rather hit and miss with her material. A lot more so than any of the other artists in the top 10. I'd say she's my least favourite of the lot tbh, but fair dues to her as she rises to the runner up slot. She led P!nk by over 100 points and also tied with her for the 2nd highest amount of votes. Also Kylie Minogue was the only artist to be placed at #1 by posters than Beyonce. P.S try taking a sip of alcohol everytime she says HALO in the song of the same name. It's a jolly good cunted time. bnVUHWCynig
August 5, 201113 yr Author 1 3 Rihanna 888 Highest Position: 1 (Eyes, DanieLMFAO, Jack, UKCFS11) Bitch Slap(s): 0 Number of Votes: 40 http://k14.vcmedia.vn/Uploaded/Share/2011/07/13/110713FANews15.jpg So she succeeds and by quite a margin too! Pushing past Gaga and P!nk who kept her at bay in 2010, Rihanna is the winner of the BUZZJACK FEMALE SLAMDOWN 2011. Who'd ever have thought that Rihanna would be one of (if not), the biggest pop stars in the world back in 2005 when she released 'Pon De Replay'? She has come a long way since then, changing her style, her image, her boyfriend and she keeps getting bigger and bigger with each era. Just when you think she's going to peak and can't possibly out do her current material, she wheels out another record that does even better than the last. 'Umbrella' will forever remain a favourite of mine, but she makes each album accessible. I could go on and on and on and make a big deal over her achievements but it's fair to say, that she may not be considered the most talented or fascinating artist in the world, but Rihanna is certainly in a league of her own and is fully deserving of the crown in this year's competition. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/uploads/group_images/of_76.jpg - Chart History - Pon De Replay If It's Lovin' That You Want SOS Unfaithful We Ride Break It Off (Feat Sean Paul) Umbrella Shut Up & Drive Hate That I Love You (Feat Ne-Yo) Don't Stop The Music Take A Bow Disturbia If I Never See Your Face Again (Maroon 5 Feat Rihanna) Rehab (Feat Justin Timberlake) Live Your Life (T.I Feat Rihanna) Run This Town (Jay Z Feat Kanye West & Rihanna) Russian Roulette Rude Boy Te Amo Love The Way You Lie (Eminem & Rihanna) Only Girl (In The World) What's My Name (Feat Drake) S&M California King Bed Man Down http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/9885146.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/9878575.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1771728.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/RIHANNARATEDR.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/2752365.JPG _iQRXuAo6Eg
August 5, 201113 yr I might play (the incredibly triumphant) Deja Vu (FREEMASONS REMIX) in celebration of the fact that she didn't win. :D
August 5, 201113 yr Rihanna is the greatest popstar of 2007-2011 so fair fucking play to her! She really is the total package (I don't give two hoots about my popstars being able to dance so the fact that she can't obv doesn't bother me).

DC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rihanna>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nerd Rope>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Beyonce.
August 5, 201113 yr Very pleasing winner, I never thought that I'd be so into Rihanna considering I didn't care at her for all (Unfaithful aside) until the Good Girl Gone Bad era but she's consistently great. I'd include all of her past three albums in my all time top 100, and all are completely different to the last. No bitch slaps either, perhaps because she comes across as very likeable and down to earth? She literally does have it all.
August 5, 201113 yr Very glad Rihanna won, love the top 2 though - both incredible artists (though what I said on the last page sums up just why Rihanna had to win) :D

August 5, 201113 yr Well, that's a very good result for me. Rihanna is amazing. There is something different and special about her and all her songs are great, and since I have all 5 albums, I listen to her a lot. The fact that her music is so diverse and she seems to have a great personality to go along with it, she really has everything. Very fair result! :wub: I think I'm going to listen to Rihanna for the rest of the evening in celebration. :D [/loon mode]
August 5, 201113 yr Pleased with the result, all top 10 are good IMO, well done on a brilliant countdown, GrAmii!
August 5, 201113 yr Glad to see Rihanna win. She's by far the best pop star around at the moment imo. Like Jack says, it's amazing how the public just haven't got bored of her yet despite her releasing new music so often.
August 5, 201113 yr I wish I voted in this :( completely forgot about it. You all would know who I'd put as #1 though :kink: just take a look at the siggie :P Glad Rihanna won and by quite a margin too ^_^
