Beyonce Knowles, The Voice of Our Generation

A video demonstrating Beyonce's extreme virtuosity and exemplary musicianship.

I had to pitch shift the final segment of Lost Yo Mind, so please excuse the awkward transition.

And for those of you still not getting it, "Generation" is referring to the generation of the last 15 years or so.

[BZBlaner]

@swacman04 Haha thanks! :P

[10hooper]

[FemaleVocalLover1975]

I love it. It's probably the best video that's on youtube about Bey vocally. He did a great job of explaining what Bey does with dynamics, rhythmically and overall aspect of her phrasing. Another thing, people tend to say that she don't emote or don't have personality within her voice, he did a great job explaining what Bey does to evote emotion with her voice. It's an awesome video, I watch almost every day.

@FemaleVocalLover1975

I'm wondering how you feel about this video....since you're such a big Bey fan ;D

[felipemiguel23]

She is the best singer alive!

[jomarantolinbuy]

@fckinhawt01 mj can't even sing. I still respect him though.

[maliklik95]

Wow! Beyonce is a very hardworking, talented & gifted woman. I agree that she is the greatest vocalist of our generation. After the legends, Patti, Aretha, Tina Turner, Chaka, Diana, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey! Beyonce leaves off where they stopped. The true singers! We have seem to forget that back in the day singers like Rihanna & Ciara wouldn't have even existed because they don't have strong vocals to back them up! Now all we listen to is trash, & seem to forget what true talent is!

[MrAbdourachidjay]

With no doubt Beyonce is the greatest vocalist of our generation

[jomarantolinbuy]

Guys... I dont care if beyonce is a thief or some other shit they call her. I still respect dat voice!

[beyonceboy100]

@Angelfully i see it and LEGENDS ICONS AGREE HER WORK ATHIC and how she is a perfectionist too etc

[Angelfully]

@fckinhawt01 agreed. I don't see the comparison, besides the fact that they are great performers
