This one is going to be a tad different.

Both of the vocalists are regarded as two of the best in their generation. As of today, who do you consider the SUPERIOR vocalist when it's all said in done. Using their MOST RECENT respective eras, review and analyze these videos to come up with a logical explanation explaining, which vocalist reigns supreme in the world of contemporary pop music. Objective aspects of singing includes:

Technique: power/resonance, range, agility, placement, intonation, breath control, stamina/endurance, control etc

and

Interpretation/Musicianship: musical diversity, being rhythmically and melodically creative, using vocal expression (belting, melisma, dynamics) to build the interpretation, resolving musical themes, varied phrasing, improvisation etc)

To refrain from trolling, messiness, and other chaotic banter, keep your SUBJECTIVE bias to yourself. Intelligence is reserve for those who can remain Objective!

Vote wisely!!!
Don't forget to explain and discuss amongst yourselves in the comment section below!

Where are you going with this? You know damn well that this will bring out the trolls. Both of them are good vocalists. End of discussion.

"where are you going with this?" - I thought it was pretty obvious..it's a vocal poll between two great singers

"You know damn well that this will bring out the trolls" - Which is why I was as SPECIFIC as possible with the stipulations of the poll, in effort to encourange order and logical thinking. I even presented SPECIFIC evidence (links) of their most recent live eras to help with their vote. It's not the usual vague/obsecure "who is better" that usually attracts blood thirsty fans. I'm sorry if you don't agree.

Kelly is way better imo.

JESUS!!

Kelly's belting ability is a FREAK of nature!!! Listen to how resonant these F#5 and G5s are..they are ringing!!!!

beyonce has only done 2 perfomances this era

If I had Internet at home I would love to look at their more recent performances.

right...I was referring to the most recent COMPLETED eras..in Beyonce's case that would be "4". Her self-titled era is still in its beginning stages.

This is ATRL. Let me sit here and see it unfold.

Kelly is the better vocalist, but it's not even saying much.

I just moved and where I live now none of the Internet providers can help us.

AT&T has service here, but apparently they can't help us because it's Verizon territory, but Verizon doesn't work here.

Where my scissors? Looks like I need to cut some standards.

Well aren't you just a ball of sunshine!

say it with me: "optimism"
I kidd..

Thanks for the vote!!


care to elaborate on your reasoning?? Add to the discussion..

Excellent display of Beyonce's interpretive wit. I wonder if she rehearsed these parts are did she just "free-style".

Kelly is the superior vocalist, ha range alone... Bey is still the bigger and better LIVE performer though, her vocals are still powerful enough to lead you to believe she's the better vocalist too, and that's due to her all around energy... so.
