There's a mismatch between her larger than life status and the level of her output.

There was no such mismatch with Whitney, or Mariah. And in the case of Janet and TLC, it was the other way around - the quality of the songs far surpassed their talent.

Beyonce has maybe 3 songs that I'd ever want to play on a guitar or piano, whereas those other artists each has at least 6 otlr 7 (maybe not TLC.)
