Top 10 Female Singers that Beyoncé Reminds Us Of
Tina Turner, née Anna Mae Bullock, was a singer, dancer, actress and author, whose career spanned more than half a century, earning her widespread recognition and numerous awards. The only reason I decided to put Tina above Diana is because unlike everyone else on this list, Tina can sing well AND dance well. Just like Beyoncé. They are both arguably the biggest stars of their respective generations, and go on tours for millions of fans worldwide. They have tons of Grammys, and they both are the epitome of the term "girl power". Tina is still touring at age 70, and just knowing Beyoncé, I'm sure she will be too. Multiple of Beyonce's dance routines are inspired by Tina, and when you watch Beyoncé perform "Proud Mary" with Turner at the grammys, you could easily forget who's who. Queens.
Tina Turner reminds us time and again just how much better than Beyoncé she truly is.
Diana Ernestine Earle Ross is an American singer, actress, and record producer. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Ross rose to fame as the lead singer of the vocal group the Supremes. Ok. This is not up for debate, Beyonces entire career SCREAMS Diana Ross. Think about it. Beyoncé was in her teenage years when started off as the most popular member of her group. So did Diana. Beyonces group had numerous lineup changes. So did Diana's. Beyoncé's group was extremely successful and is regarded as one of the best girl groups of all time. So is Diana's. In the following decade after the group split up, Beyonce was the queen of music and dominated the world of entertainment, even in movies. So did Diana. Beyoncé married a famous music mogul who had his own record label, despite the fact that he is around 10 years older than her. So did Diana. The list goes on and on... And let's not forget, Diana was the main inspiration for Beyonce's character in Dreamgirls...
Janet Jackson is a singer and dancer who is well known for her sexually graphic records, iconic performances, and slightly weak voice. She is regarded as a sex symbol through her songs and videos. If you've seen both of them dance, you would understand why Janet is on this list.
Pretty much everything I said about Madonna. The main reason Janet is above Madonna is because:
A) Similar dance moves
B) Both Bey and Janet's 5th albums are self titled.
C) They are both black female singers, and is always being compared to the "other" black female singer even though they are nothing alike. In Janet's case, Whitney. In Bey's Rihanna.
Pretty much, yeah.

Beyoncé mainly resembled Aaliyah in her Destiny's Child and Dangerously in Love years. Aaliyah even helped choreograph some of the groups early music videos. Sometimes I wonder how great it would've been if Aaliyah collaborated with the group before her tragic passing in 2001...
