That’s a good one.

Probably made some bad decisions that resulted in her career not being as big as it could have been.

I worked one of her concerts a few years back. Although she w@s headliner, after Stephanie Mills finished playing, the crowd started leaving. Khan’s singing has probably seen better days.

Stephanie Mills had a great hit song.

Even did a great job on the Fletch theme song Bit by Bit

Chevy Chase was funny but still a political tool for the Left

Heavy smoking probably ruined her voice.

Just tell her 29 is a prime number. Like number 1.

Props for saying this: The “Ain’t Nobody” singer also didn’t mince words when it came to folkie Joan Baez, who hit the list at No. 189. “Let’s be honest, the bitch cannot sing!”

Chaka Khan, but Immanuel Kant.

Seperate Joan Baez the vocalist from Joan Baez the social activist if you can. Did I read you correctly in that you don’t think Joan can sing? (!!)

If that’s what you meant we will have to agree to disagree. IMO, Joan had a superb mezzo soprano voice in her prime. Some thought she did too much virbrato. I consider that a feature, not a bug.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable.

Chaka may be correct in what she says about this since, among woman R&B singers themselves, she is considered to be the Gold Standard of range, style, and technique. Even recognizing that, her response here doesn’t say much for her class and humility. But, hey: and entertainer with a foul mouth and huge ego— who’d-a thunk it?

Well, to be fair it is Rolling Stone Magazine. Not exactly a paragon of journalism.

Synesthesia...don’t know that I’ve ever seen anyone use this word, other than Peter Himmelman (Bob Dylan’s son-in-law), song and album from 1989.
