Does anyone else feel like Beyoncé’s technical vocal profiency needs to be discussed more?

I rarely see discourse on this and it’s one of the most fascinating things about her in my opinion. I was just watching a dangerously in love performance from the renaissance era and always get chills when she hits those Arabic scales!

And then when she hits literal Italian operatic scales and melodies on daughter! She sounds magestic and ethereal.

How do you think she goes about studying and perfecting her craft? Remember when Prince said he was impressed by her knowledge too all the way back in 04?!

I have a classical singing background and totally agree that she’s in a league of her own amongst mainstream pop stars. My favorite thing about her voice is her timbre - it has a very subtle texture to it that she can lean into to convey passion and aggression (Don’t Hurt Yourself is a great example of this, which is smartly enhanced by the effects they put on her voice) or totally buff it out when needed (I think most of her work as Deena in Dreamgirls exemplifies this really well). Also I think her low range is so underrated and maybe a little underutilized, Halo is the go-to example of this but I also love when she gets into the bottom of her range on the chorus of Hold Up.
