What's the difference between Shakira, Rihanna and Beyonce?

One has an irritating song about umbrellas and dresses like a cheap hooker in churches. One is idolized by young women of African descent, drag queens and gay men (especially for one particular video). One made a video roughly a gusset thread's difference from a porn film.

I own none of their music.

You can listen to their voices...

Or I could ask poly, which is more fun.

Well those three are old white man music, true

AMEN

Besides, you've likely heard at least one song from each artist (maybe except for Rihanna). "Hips Don't Lie" (Shakira) was absolutely everywhere when it came out. Same with "Single Ladies" (Beyonce). Rihanna has had "Umbrella" and tends to be the singer that rappers like to get for the singing choruses on their songs (Kanye West's "All of the Lights", Eminem's "Monster") - but those are popular on a much lower level than the other songs I mentioned (yes, even "All of the Lights").

You can listen to their voices... that's still a thing, you know

They still use voices in the age of autotune?

Not necessarily their own natural ones of course.

I may yet surprise you.

[Hauldren Collider]

Enlighten me.

I have never been clear on this either.

I was not aware that Antwerp had that many caves.

[Imran Siddiqui]

AMEN

Thinking on it, perhaps a better comparison is: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, albeit, they as well are in the same genre, whereas Shakira is in a slightly different genre than Beyonce and Rihanna. Maybe U2, REM, and Bon Jovi .

There aren't any caves in Antwerp, except of a modest system of faux-caves in a park that houses a tiny museum of natural history. And I'm sure plenty of people here know which of the 3 is which, not the least because all 3 of them have performed here IIRC. Multiple times perhaps. Who knows more often than in Atlanta. In other words, you are completely off the mark.

[Al B. Sure!]

wow I'm cool because the music I don't like all sounds the same to me because it is worthless.

[Colon™]

That makes you cool?

[Sava]

and some reggie

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra are musically alike while Frankie Avalon and Frank Sinatra both have 3 a's in their name, and I'm supposed to tell them apart?

That's essentially what you're saying there.
