"The Next Beyonce"

With her debut album, In Pieces coming out, I felt it was time to address to comparisons between Chloe Bailey and her mentor, Beyonce. Beyonce has mentored Chloe and her sister Halle since 2015 when she signed them to her label, Parkwood Entertainment. When Chloe performed her debut single as a soloist, people started calling her Baby Beyonce, because of their similarities in dance, style, and stage presence. After her debut Motivation, former Fifth Harmony member, Normani was called the next Beyonce also. Normani has also been called the next Janet Jackson and the next Aaliyah. She paid tribute to both artists with her song Wild Side. Though she finds the comparisons, a compliment, she's just eager to show who she is as an artist. Tinashe said the same after being compared to Beyonce. Tinashe has criticized both fans and the industry for putting black female artists in a box- comparing them either to Beyonce or Rihanna. Tinashe said she's also been compared to Jene Aiko, Kehlani, and FKA Twigs. These comparisons are nothing new. Beyonce herself was compared to Tina Turner, Prince, and Janet and Michael Jackson. Even before Tinashe, Chloe, and Normani, Rihanna was said to be the next Beyonce, and the only female entertrainer who could really take her spot. Other current entertainers have been compared to famours predecessors. Miley Cyrus has been called the next Stevie Nicks and Dolly Parton. Harry Styles has been called the next Elton John and the next David Bowie. Nicki Minaj was called the next Lil Kim. Lady Gaga was called the next Madonna.

No one will ever be like Beyoncé, just like no one will ever be like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, MJ, or Madonna. I think this hurts people's careers and there's space for everyone. I love so many different artists. That's what i Love about music. P.s i miss Aaliyah so much. She was really special. Thanks for this vídeo.

honestly i feel like "the next beyoncé" is just another example of how much of a legend she really is and how some people don't give bey the respect she rightfully deserves. she's a blueprint, though the context the phrase gets used in *is* pretty negative (like overshadowing the artist's own artistry)

Bey and Rih are like MJ and Prince...both Icons in their owns rights and die hard fan bases. They've always been in two different lanes.

[@naomi.cannibal]

Different lanes for sure! I think it’s wild ppl compare

[@natashafernandez6709]

While I love Rih, putting her in the legends circle and comparing her to Prince is def false. Rih is an icon in her own right, but it takes a level of artistry (impeccable vocal ability, dance, instrumental talents, etc.) to be in that specfic circle and I think Rih understood that. She is a musical icon (comparisons to Madonna/Britney I think is better), but comparing her to Beyoncé now is undermining Bey' talent and impact.

It’s been people who could perform just as great as her or better. Bobby Brown, Sisqo, B2K, TLC, Prince, MJ, Whitney, Aaliyah, Chris Brown, Ciara, Ginuwine, Usher, Tina Turner, James Brown, etc. She just more relevant. In the past the music industry was like a talent show not a fashion show, and artist kept their private lives a mystery. And even when they showed their lives it was just a documentary. Beyoncé kept up with the tradition.

[@msgirlevev9350]

​@Flora Lux Divina I agree. In however many years there will be a woman who achieves mega popularity with ultra-loyal fanbases and people will say the same thing: that there will never be anyone on that level again. Until there is and again the cycle continues. There will always be "God-like" entertainers in human history...they just differ depending on the social environment and trends of the time.

I just hate when people say that "this person is the next that" especially when they compare one celebrity into another or tear one down and uplift another.

I feel something people always miss about the Beyonce package is her insane vocal capability and upper belting. Most of the girls we been naming over the few years can't even sing above a c5 in full voice. I love them all but Beyonce being able to sing on a world class level and do things like the drunk in love run in Dubai is what adds to her mysticism. People tend to underlook the fact that part of the reason Bey is so world renown is because you can find a Filipino girl, Australian girl, or Brazilian girl who all adore her purely for her vocals and will spend hours belting out the high notes of listen. all the new girls can be there best self but never Beyonce unless they start working on getting their mix voice to a crazy level.

[@angechrisman1694]

Right, Beyoncé is the greatest performer alive but she's also a star rated vocalist. Mama can sang her ass off like she did in Dubai, do crazy runs/riffs (look at the the Drunk in Love outro and Countdown intro)

There will never be another Beyoncé. Venus, Aphrodite, is only personified in human form once every thousand years. We have to wait another millennium to see someone else replace that soul, sensuality, and embodiment of love.

[@nikibronson133]

C5 is a very high note like you said it as if that was a low note like B4 when it isn’t… any vocal coach will tell you C5 is a pretty high note. Those high notes Barbra Streisand is known for are all C5s and D5s. The super high note that Celine Dion is known for in all by myself is an F5 so only two notes above a C5. That gives context to how high a C5 is

Although no one in the newer generation will ever really top Beyoncé, I believe of all the names you mentioned Chloe really has the star power, budget, and team behind her to become an incredible household name. It's unfortunate that Normani's career has seemingly been slowed down due to her label although I think in some ways she's in it for the long run when it comes to releasing little music at a time. As for Tinashe, she's def not in the mainstream like she used to be, but her albums since 2019 have all been pretty well-received and she has a creative direction that comes unparalleled to anyone else in R&B/Pop at the moment so hopefully she'll rise back to prominence. I wonder why women often get pitted together in music so frequently; it doesn't really seem like men or the industry contribute to it as much anymore or often except for a few instances, but more so fan pages and die-hard fan bases.

[@crispri3919]

There can and hopefully will be another "the great entertainer" in the next generation like Beyonce or mj, but they will not be beyonce because because beyonce isn't like mj. I think this is a thing where artists vs lay people don't understand each other. A gifted mezzo-soprano classically trained with an insane melisma and a head voice able to pierce even some sopranos and able to go as low as men combined with insane energy while dancing as well as a "star aura" that is unique to their stage persona is not coming. Some of you see beyonce or mj or prince and see "dances and sings really good" but the reality is there is so much unique to these individual performers that even if someone MORE talented comes along after all the stars align they will never get a chance to artistically grow and get better if we beat them down with the pressure of being beyonce or mj like we do chloe or normani. Beyonce didn't even start getting these mj comparisons until later in her career. These new artists are getting it on their first solo videos

The music industry is full of celebrities, not many superstars. Beyonce is a superstar. Superstars have three common attributes: Greatness drives them, as well as their refusal to quit, and they won't let anyone or anything stand in their way to accomplish their desired goal. Superstars aren’t afraid to evolve and grow. Many artists today aren’t growing artistically. Beyonce’s talent, showmanship and singing abilities is similar to an athlete who perfected his/her craft. Although Beyonce is still very young, she’s been perfecting her craft since she was a child. Beyonce perfected her craft through artist development. Who is the next Beyonce? No one. There is enough space and room for other artist to achieve greatness.

LA Reid was quoted saying: “At the label, we thought Teairra Mari would be the big star,” Reid recounted. “We spent more time on her, did more work on her, paid more attention to her. Rihanna already had a hit with ‘Pon De Replay,’ but we still thought it was the other girl.” But Reid’s attitude shifted quickly thanks to-yes- Beyoncé. “Beyoncé came up to me,” Reid wrote. “‘That Rihanna girl,’ she said, ‘she’s a beast.’” There is no way Beyoncé, at that time in 2005, would’ve known that her comment would make LA Reid completely change trajectory and put more focus on RiRi. Beyoncé was just a fan of what RiRi was bringing to the stage and she gave her honest opinion. Turns out Beyoncé has a good eye for talent…because the rest was histoRIH. 😂

It is not really about talent, as much as it is about image and popularity. It is not like how it use to be where there were many great singers out at once, it wasn't a competition about who is or was the best, everyone got shine and was amazing. It is not like that anymore. There can only be one, and that is what I hate most about mainstream music.

[@AirQuotes]

There is always going to be a next big artist/icon. I'm Interested in who is next/new. Comparing artists is fine imo as long your not dismissive of one over the other. I agree with you on people throwing out "she's the next so and so" way too easily. It can take years for this to become apparent and usually only happens once in a generation for true icons

[@jhessicacomjh]

In Brazil, each and every black singer that appeared was called Beyoncé. And some of them chose their names inspired by her. Ludmilla, a famous brazilian singer started her career as "MC Beyoncé". I'm glad the media stopped it, because it makes it seem like any black female singer was a version of Beyoncé just because she was black. But I think it goes to show how famous and influential Beyoncé is.

I’m the next Beyoncé when I’m in the shower!!! She got nothing on my shower performances!!!! With this whole conversation here’s my take on it. Beyoncé is a legend that doesn’t get the respect that she deserves. She truly is the blueprint. And also she is from a CERTAIN POINT in music!!! So there will never be another one! And she is one of the few artists that can actually sing. I consider her and Adele to be some of the last great divas (and before y’all even ask YES I’m still waiting for that power ballad duet!)

The next Beyoncé thing is such a double edged sword argument that nobody wins. On one hand, you’re setting up whoever for failure when they don’t live up to the hype you think they should. On the other, you’re lowkey insinuating that Beyoncé’s time is up and it’s time for a replacement. Chloe’s music isn’t my cup of tea because I feel like she’s punching way down and I know someone, somewhere is sabotaging Normani, but once they both get it together, they’re going to be superstars in their own rights. Then Tinashe is Tinashe. People who don’t pay attention to her are always trying to compare her to someone when she’s actually the blueprint so many girls are not so secretly following. She is a lot of record companies and A&R people’s Beyoncé.

I think Beyonce selected Suprise bc of how well produced it was. Pray it Away is Chloe’s newest well produced song.

[@naomi.cannibal]

That could honestly be the reason

[@rydercdaniels4475]

While surprise is a decent record, Beyoncé pretty much unintentionally sabotaged Chloe’s song rollout. Chloe gave her fans the option of choosing her next single release and it was between 3 songs, “surprise, for the night and cheat back”. Chloe did a poll and “for the night” won and it would have been a perfect mid tempo song for the summer. But for whatever reason Chloe revealed that Beyoncé told her to release sunrise instead (a slow R&B record for the summer 😑) which was a horrible decision. And then Beyoncé had the audacity to announce her release for break my soul which completely overshadowed Chloe’s release causing her to flop. There was no promo, radio play or anything during Chloe’s first tracking week of her song release and personality I blame Beyoncé for that.

[@annaliseyhowe7874]

@@rydercdaniels4475 yeah, I remember being slightly mad when she decided to release surprise. I like the song but for the night was the better choice especially since it was summer and it was catchy r&b track that could've done really well on radio plus majority of the people voted for it as well

[@coreybrownCYoBrown]

@@rydercdaniels4475 interesting assessment. So once the song.. For the Night was released.. Why didn't us fans run it to number 1? I think that's bc, after the full song was released, more of us still didn't enjoy it as much as we thought we would. Which goes back to my original point, out of all Chloes songs, production wise, Pray it Away and Suprise are her best. Now that we can listen to all songs released, Beyonce’s suggestion makes perfect sense now. Thx for sharing

I see girls who can sing, dance, rap and perform today but for some reason it's still lacking. Beyonce even way back early 2000 always had that different IT level. She is both loveable and hate-able if you're insecure. When she sings, it's very very technically detailed and pitch **always** perfect. When she dances, it's not overdone but not underdone either. She does it just as much as her dancers. In addition, her energy is a perfect blend of feminine and masculine, she stands there and you'd look at her. A class act in person and a beast on stage. Like a switch and it's consistent with no bad records like drug scandal, smoking, or physical fighting. Most importantly, she is known for topping her previous records not in awards or charts, but in artistic sense. You collect all the girls and put them in one stage with Beyonce, she stands out just how she carry herself alone. It wasn't just Matthew's product of pushing her, but it's also her innate desire (since age 7) that catapulted her to where she is today. There is no next Beyonce, but I hope these girls today will create a name of their own brand.

[@bri.decode]

This might be controversial for me to say…oh well lol. I think our new “it girl” for this generation is Doja Cat. I don’t say the next Beyoncé because there will never be another her. But think about the black “it girls” we’ve had in the past. Aretha, Tina Turner, Donna Summer, Whitney, Janet, Brandy, Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Rihanna, etc. They all were an evolution of each other in some way. Who in this generation is the new “it girl?” It’s Doja Cat. Everything she puts out blows up, no matter the genre. The “it girl” transcends genres. And I love Chloe, Normani, and Tinashe, but neither of them is the new “it girl.” Chloe needs Halle because her music doesn’t hit without Halle. Normani needs a new team, new music, etc. Tinashe’s music isn’t mainstream enough and general listeners won’t gravitate to her because she’s more of a mood. Just my opinion though.

[@nicolesherman8974]

Saying these words like “The Next New ____” when talking about artists that are new to mainstream puts them under a lot of stress.

Singing and performance =Chloe Performance& presence=Normani HOWEVER!!! Beyoncé’s work ethic is still unmatched. None of these young women can come close because they lack that hunger.

Normani doesn't want to be the next anything. She is gorgeous and poised but she's overall pretty boring. Chloe wants to be THAT GIRL so badly but she just doesn't have the "it" factor. Again, Chloe is very beautiful and talented but she just doesn't have the "It" factor.

I feel the fastest way to curb talent and kill new legacy is to attribute someone’s craft as a continuation or a borrow off of someone else’s. It’s highly disrespectful because they now are forced into a cube to 1) embody 2) aspire towards someone they are not. The masses seeking the next Beyoncé is counterintuitive to creating room for more and/or other excellent talent to shine through. The limiting belief that nobody can be as, if not more, monumental than Beyoncé is precisely what prevents the possibility of that occurring. Because why not? Why discourage it? It is great credit to be a benchmark, shoutout to Yoncé, I do believe there are great performers we have yet to see, and I’d like a public imaginary that permits for that possibility. It is the destiny of the next generation to surpass the previous and I would love for the spirit of encouragement to thrive for up and coming artists.
