Patti LaBelle On Christina, Beyonce, and Mariah
Journalist and blogger Clay Cane interviewed Patti LaBelle for Edge New York, and she had some interesting things to say about the state of R&B music.
Clay: A lot of people who love R&B are particularly upset about the lack of vocalists in current R&B music, there are a lot of non-singers making millions. What’s your take on current R&B?
Patti: The same! Oh my God, It’s a hot mess, a hot mess. There are some R&B singers who can really sing like Mariah, Beyonce … I think that’s about it. Christina Aguilera — I don’t know what she is, I mean, she’s not called an R&B singer, but to me she has R&B pipes. She can sing her face off!
I know Clay was holding his tongue about Miss Beyonka being an R&B singer. But you don’t step to Patti!

Beyonce is not R&B; she is a pop goddess. She is the new Britney Spears with a better singing voice.
Enough with the image, pretty faces and ass shaking, let’s get back to real music.
Beyonce is just as much R&B as she is pop. “upgrade u”, umm not a pop record, “get me bodied” umm not a pop record. And her last album was all R&B pretty much.
