Disappointing. Dionne Warwick would never, LOL. Chaka Khan, who says “it wasn’t my intention to upset anyone,” backtracks on some viral shade she recently threw towards Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige and Adele. She apologises on social media for "taking the bait" after she was "pitted against other artists." During her appearance on Los Angeles magazine's The Originals podcast last week, she dissed several artists who were ranked higher than her on Rolling Stone's "200 Greatest Singers of All Time" list. Sorry huh? Sorry because she means it, or sorry because multiple fanbases got in that ass?
Recently, I was asked about a list of the 'greatest singers of all time' and instead of questioning the need for such a list, I was pitted against other artists and I took the bait.

As artists, we are unfairly put into ‘boxes’, ‘categories’ or on ‘lists.’

Being an artist or musician is not a competition. It’s a gift, for which I am truly grateful.

It was not my intention to cause pain or upset anyone. To anyone that felt this way, I sincerely apologize.

Ok so I like Chaka's music but let's not pretend this woman has huge vocals or ever did. Mariah definitely has a bigger range than her so there will always be some hidden resentment or in Chaka's case, full display resentment haha!
ReplyDeleteChaka definitely has vocals. She doesn't have a 25 octave range but her belts and technique are still impeccable, especially compared to the average singer. Chaka is a legend for a reason, just like Gladys whose range isn't the widest either , but singing is more than just range. Mariah has more than Whitney, but Whitney is still considered the GOAT because her gift made you feel something that range alone cannot.
DeleteChaka is a clown. She couldn't sing all that well then and certainly cannot sing now. Did you see her on Wendy's birthday special. Girl just did some hoarse ad libs and then called it a day. The nerve of her. Seriously what a deluded egotistical wack!
