One day, we are going to have a conversation about the Beyhive’s tendency to blatantly disrespect & downplay older black music legends who stood at the front lines of a racially oppressive, white dominated music industry just so their fav could attain the success she’s had. You people have disrespected Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Janet Jackson, & it is truly sinister the lengths you lot will go to in order to do such. None of them have done anything to warrant such behavior aside from being old, you people are just ageist! It’s quite obvious to me that this kind of disrespect stems from ageism.
Here's a rare audio clip of Chaka Khan singing the third verse of Sweet Thing isolated. Just listen to how POWERFUL her voice is. Keep in mind she was only 22 years old when she recorded the song.
This is the moment an old Palestinian woman is evicted from her house by Jewish squatters. The house, which had been in her family for generations, was given to Jewish immigrants fresh off the plane from Eastern Europe, people who had no connection to Palestine.
Since Chaka Khan is trending, this would be a great opportunity for those who don't know her to know who she is and what she can do. Cause let me tell you, Chaka is a vocal genius.
Janet a littéralement révolutionné le R&B à maintes reprises mais elle n'est pas une légende du R&B selon Yannick de Twitter ? Make it make sense.
Elle est à l'origine du New jack Swing ('Control') et du R&B alternatif ('The Velvet Rope'), elle a l'un de tous premiers hits-
une légende de la Soul parce qu'il est plus limité vocalement que ses pairs ?
Janet c'est top 2 des artistes féminines les plus influentes du R&B contemporain. Ça se joue clairement entre elle et Mary J. Blige. Nier son statut de légende du genre tient de l’hérésie.
