No. Lizzo is very talented and a great entertainer, but Jennifer Hudson is the closest performer to Aretha.

 

As Hudson tells it Aretha told her that she would play her in a movie about her life.

I only recently learned that Lizzo is a very accomplished flautist.

I didn't know about her. Superb voice too. Comparing black female singers feels like comparing good hung tops. You can't tell which one is better.

To me, no one is the new Aretha. She, like most legendary artists, is a one-of.

 

Lizzo does her own thing and it's great. She's incredibly talented.

You sinned placing Alicia before Whitney. I would have included Deborah Cox and Eartha Kitt not because they are better but because of their uniqueness. I never heard of the 3 "tops" you compared, 2 have bottomed. I would have compared Rocco Steele, Girth Brooks and Igor.

Lizzo is Lizzo.
