Poll Can They Sing or Sang: Erykah Badu Edition

[Loquacious]

Erykah Badu Edition

Sing- Can hold and carry a note but doesn’t really have range.
Sang- have range, powerful vocals, a voice that moves you.

 

[Goldie]

Greatest female artist of alltime

 

[Loquacious]

Sing.

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

Sing.

yeah this where I’m at too

Voice kinda whiny imo

 

[Lamarquise]

Erykah sings in the range in all her songs. I can't recall how are falsetto sounds either

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Greatest female artist of alltime

Lil overboard wit the greatest lol but I think her recorded songs don't really do her justice.

She absolutely kills shit when she's singing live

 

[Eyerone]

These threads gettin a lil disrespectful and I don’t like it

 

[Banginscrew901]

Greatest female artist of alltime

What you smoking on?

 

[Goldie]

Word. There’s degrees and levels to this shit.

There’s god tier (Whitney, Mariah, etc)

2nd tier like jill Scott , shorty can sing her ass off but it ain’t god tier.

Then 3rd tier like Janet, etc

People in the top 2 tiers can “sang” imo.

Badu is tier 2

 

[Goldie]

What you smoking on?

Off the strength of catalog, writing, production, etc

[5th Letter]

She’s alright.

 

[Eyerone]

She shouldn’t be. She has crazy range, in studio and live.

 

[rip.dilla]

I love me some Badu as part of that Soulquarians/Ummah collective .. and the fact she doesn't take herself too seriously... With her personality





But I'm going with 'sang' ...









But this shit here is a masterpiece

 

[757'sFinest]

Sing....I enjoy her music tho

 

[Loquacious]

Sade better be 1 of em
