OMG LOL I am dying over here....I need oxygen hahahahaha
Sanggging lol does not mean diva showboating singing. It actually means the opposite. Tasia sings with SOUL and emotion which is something that is missing from the popular female singers of today. You can sing with emotion and soul without making long runs or showboating your vocals.
The number one thing that makes a great singer is the ability to move audiences with your voice.

What has Elvis, Beatles, Rolling Stones done in the last 10 years? Nothing but their impact and influence is still recognize
Janet does not get recognize for the impact that she has had on today's popular female entertainers.
It is almost as if her legacy is swept under the rug

Janet is a POP singer who sung many different genres not just R&B.

The industry wants white people singing R&B music and black people singing pop music which is why lightweights like Timberlake can get away with singing R&B music.
D Angelo, Lauryn Hill, Maxwell were singing R&B way before JT even got a record deal and they don't get the rightful respect they deserve for their influence on the genre while JT does for making artificial imitations of it.
