Well, there are people she should'nt be ahead of BUT she deserves a higher place than a lot of the broads mentioned. Don't sleep on MeShell

AnckSuNamun said:

I know, I know. It's haunting me. If they did get to a hundred I fear we'd see 702, The Good Girls, Adina Howard, Shannon, Blackgirl, AllSaints, Blu Can-- I'll stop now.

JackieBlue said:

please do.....the torture.

namepeace said:

Reminds me of LIFE magazine's special History of Rock a few years back . .when they ranked Sting's fucking solo ouvre above LITTLE RICHARD.

JackieBlue said:

Oh come on! The Shannon Sound!

AnckSuNamun said:

I made a prediction and was right. I thought to myself if you were to shot who wrote the song, you woule need to reload and I was right...it took seven people to write that masterpiece!

VinnyM27 said:

Shannon did sorta have her own thing going on!

that's ridiculous...honestly.

Cater To You lyrics It's almost like women's fight for equal rights is pointless when you have this song

Verse 1 Beyonce]
Baby I See You Working Hard
I Want To Let You Know I'm Proud,
Let You Know That I Admire What You Do
The More If I Need To Reassure You, My Life Would Be Purposeless Without You (Yeah)
If I Want It (Got It)
When I Ask You (You Provide It)
You Inspire Me To Be Better
You Challenge Me For The Better
Sit Back And Let Me Pour Out My Love Letter

Let Me Help You
Take Off Your Shoes
Untie You Shoestrings
Take Off Your Cufflinks (Yeah)
What You Want To Eat Boo? (Yeah)
Let Me Feed You
Let Me Run Your Bathwater
Whatever You Desire, I'll Aspire
Sing You A Song
Turn My Game On
I'll Brush Your Hair
Help Put Your Do Rag On
Want A Foot Rub? (Yeah)
You Want A Manicure?
Baby I'm Yours I Want To Cater To You Boy

[Chorus]
Let Me Cater To You
Cause Baby This Is Your Day
Do Anything For My Man
Baby You Blow Me Away
I Got Your Slippers, Your Dinner, Your Dessert, And So Much More
Anything You Want Just Let Me Cater To You
Inspire Me From The Heart,
Can't Nothing Tear Us Apart
You're All That I Want In A Man;
I Put My Life In Your Hands
I Got Your Slippers, Your Dinner, Your Dessert, And So Much More
Anything You Want, I Want To Cater To You

[Verse 2 Kelly]
Baby I'm Happy You're Home,
Let Me Hold You In My Arms
I Just Want To Take The Stress Away From You
Making Sure That I'm Doing My Part (Oh)
Boy Is There Something You Need Me To Do (Oh)
If You Want It (I Got It)
Say The Word (I Will Try It)
I Know Whatever I'm Not Fulfilling (Oh)
No Other Woman Is Willing (Oh)
I'm Going To Fulfill Your Mind, Body, And Spirit

I Promise You (Promise You)
I'll Keep Myself Up (Oh)
Remain The Same Chick (Yeah)
You Fell In Love With (Yeah)

I'll Keep My Hair Fixed, Keep Rocking The Hottest Outfits
When You Come Home Late Tap Me On My Shoulder, I'll Roll Over

JackieBlue said:

But of the people listed, that's the only one. Shannon before Sonique...I mean...Sonique? I wonder if they got to a hundered if we would see Cookie Crew!
Never mind....don't don't even have Salt N Pepa! If you're going to go modern, at least do it right! Shame!

This verse in particular is the one that set the women's movement back 50 years...

I Promise You (Promise You)
I'll Keep Myself Up (Oh)
Remain The Same Chick (Yeah)
You Fell In Love With (Yeah)
I'll Keep It Tight, I'll Keep My Figure Right

Is this how they got the McDonald's sponsorship?

JackieBlue said:

You laugh but I'm sure in reality it didn't hurt!

Whitney Houston should have been #1.

vainandy said:

do my eyes deceive me?

AnckSuNamun said:

I think and hope that was a joke!

No joke. I'm dead serious. If it's women that changed the face of R&B, well Shitney Houston did that.....she changed it for the worst.
[Edited 3/17/05 22:15pm]

vainandy said:

I think you and Whitney need to fuck. That should clear up the tension between you two .

She probably would water that down too.

vainandy said:

That would just be Bobby using the garden hose to separate you two after catching you on the patio.

He wouldn't care. Crackheads don't care when their crack ho's turn tricks. They know they are going to have a few dollars to get another rock.

No Supremes the list isn't valid

CalhounSq said:

This is supposed to be a list of women that changed R&B. What did Meshell change? I don't see how she has impacted R&B at all. That's the problem I have with a lot of the people on this list. Just because "they good" doesn't mean they have impacted the genre.

ehuffnsd said:

exactly. If we talking about "impact" they are top 10 easily.

Harlepolis said:

But she changed the face of popular music as a whole, as did Louis Armstrong.

namepeace said:

so did Madonna, but obviously she's not going to be on there either. and Louis Armstrong was a man

Tessa said:

Madonna's ties to R&B are arguably as strong if not stronger than Billie's are. But many if not all of those on the list are directly or indirectly influenced by Lady Day.

Louis Armstrong's a MAN? His sultry voice had me fooled, then!

Seriously, the point was jazz singers have influenced pop music as a whole. I cited Satchmo as an example.
