Also, this thread is another reason that they are not comparable. People are always trying to pit them against each other. B is older, has a husband and 3 kids... sings different type of music, different dances, etc. She is not in competition with Taylor Swift. They are different, and can both exist and be famous and richer than anyone on this board. And as a 45 yo black woman, I can appreciate them both.
