They're really not particularly similar anymore than any other given popular vocalists.
Certainly the music of Beyonce and Shakira do not come from the same unique musical traditions.
Genres are iffy classifications but Beyonce's music is of the R&B tradition. Shakira's is not."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Yeah Colombians are definitely different from African-Americans.Comment

Rihanna is from Barbados
. Though she is R&B and therefore somewhat similar musically to Beyonce, but also adds some reggie to the mix.

Quick and dirty:
Beyonce: R&B and soul
Shakira: Latin Pop
Rihanna: R&B and some reggie
Also Beyonce is African-American, Rihanna is African-Latin American and a quarter Irish, and Shakira is white Hispanic.

I actually find it disturbing seeing men discuss this topic.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

You can listen to their voices... that's still a thing, you knowOriginally posted by Colon™ View Post
It's like someone being all upset that one is supposed to be able to tell the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the Who apart.

Well those three are old white man music, trueOriginally posted by rah View Post. But these three are as similar as those three guitar bands are.
Beyonce will, when she's done, likely be considered one of the great singer/performers (think Diana Ross... and not just because their career arcs are similar). Rihanna has an absolutely fantastic voice, but isn't all that good in writing or picking pop songs. Shakira is arguably the most popular when you consider her world wide popularity.

I liked the early shakira stuff.
I can't say I know either of the other two.Indifference is BlissComment

Speaking of which, I was always pretty tickled about Beyonce playing the Diana Ross role in Dreamgirls (the film), as its basically Beyonce playing herself, re: Destiny's Child.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.
