Grimes is actually a great singer when she has her act together desu:

She has an AMAZING level of dynamic control over her vocal timbre.

No one else comes close, not even male vocalists. Björk is to the human voice what Hendrix is to the electric guitar: there is an immeasurable distance between her and any other vocalist. As the human voice is the most primitive instrument, this makes her the greatest musician of all history.

Well that didn't help your case at all. To much echo and reverb to really tell anything. Still sounds quite terrible.

Clarity and power. Probably underrated on this board aside for the death metal meme threads.

Nigga, that's because she probably wrote half of the songs you hear on the radio. She's written loads of songs for famous artists

Compare this

to this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Angels#Personnel

and see who's the real musician here. Beyonce has so many collaborators that she's actually just a brand/money making machine at this point.

>>72412032
can you give me said quick rundown, for research purposes

>>72422880
I like Grimes' songs too but we're talking about singers. You could also pose this argument against the Maria Callas poster but that would be missing the point.

Ellie Rowsell.

It also means more than just songwriting. What about competence? Perfecting your skill over 2 decades doesn't count if you have collaborators?

the answer is clearly Moe Tucker
everything else is a plebeian choice

>>72423250
It counts. But let's be real, Beyonce isn't an amazing singer.

And that's Grimes. She's like an improved Kate Bush and Bjork. Better songwriting, better melodies, better production, better visuals, even more pleasant singing, even more futuristic. Grimes is the real art pop queen of this decade.

Yes, I like it despite rawness, maybe she will actually release it someday.

>>72430042
Hopefully

>>72429316
She requires 50 layers of autotune to sound bearable, that's not an improvement.
