[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is the best and is it even close?

My thoughts:

T has dozens of classic songs.  B has 3 or 4.

B is copying T's innovative concert movie idea.

A lot of B's lyrics are...let's just say not appropriate for younger listeners.

T is just a better singer, songwriter, and more admirable person.

Answer: Taylor Swift by a mile!

I started to approach this with serious answers, but I realized that anyone who thinks that 1) making a concert film is somehow “innovative “ and 2) Beyoncé “is copying Taylor” probably wouldn’t care.

Beyoncé and Taylor are two very different types of entertainers—who appeal to very different markets and audiences. Being “appropriate “ for younger listeners is only a plus if you believe that having a young, less sophisticated audience is a plus.  I don’t, so, eh. 
You give zero support, OP, for your next gush of assertions. You also don’t bother to define “classic “.  Perhaps you’re young enough to assume that your personal views and tastes — however restricted— are somehow universal?

Anyway, if you’re up for it, listen to some Destiny’s Child.  Check out Homecoming.  And Lemonade.  Maybe you’ll learn something— if you allow yourself to do so. Or maybe you just won’t get it. It’s cool. I don’t get Taylor’s music or her appeal, but I’m glad that she’s out there doing her thing, and I’m glad that her efforts reach a lot of people who find meaning and positive experiences from her decision to share her talents.

So I’d say Beyoncé. She actually has a VOICE.  But I’m not fond enough of Taylor’s music to be able to do anything approaching a fair comparison.
