After a conversation I had with galaxyseal about Imogen Heap being a "mother" (having similar vocal stylings & characteristics and music types/influencing singers that come after) to several current indie, alt & art pop singers (Caroline Polachek, Oklou, Weyes Blood etc), it got me thinking about if anybody else had associations like this they formed in their mind that may not even necessarily be obvious at first ?
Some other ones I had in mind:
Janet Jackson: - "whisper" r&b, dance pop, & alt r&b | mother to Aaliyah, Britney Spears, Jhené Aiko, BoA, Tinashe, Ciara, Ashanti, Normani, Nelly Furtado etc
Mariah Carey: - multi octave/register using, melisma, vocal layering (stacks & adlibs), contemporary pop & r&b | mother to Ariana Grande, JoJo, Beyoncé, Tamar Braxton, Leona Lewis, Tori Kelly, Kelly Clarkson, Brandy, Bruno Mars, Christina Aguilera (a personal favorite group and there's so many so i'm gonna stop lol)
Usher: - melisma, agile belting & falsetto, hip hop/contemporary r&b, pop | father to Justin Beiber, Justin Timberlake, Miguel, Jason Derulo, Omarion, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, August Alsina etc
I realize a good bit of these intersect and people can have multiple "parents" but just an observation off the top of my head
