Madonna wins. She adds politics and different cultural aspects and themes into her shows. She always does something different for every album and every tour. (and no, I'm not talking image wise alone) The MDNA tour alone (which some people may think is one of her weaker tours) outshines every beyoncé tour I have seen. (and I love beyoncé. I think she's one of the best female performers, but still far behind M) The amount of detail put into every single aspect of her performance is simply outstanding and out of this world. Every dance move is given with the upmost concentration and elegance. To me Even Madonna's voice is better because she puts so much emotion into it without screaming like all those other divas. but that's a personal thing.
Same with music. something new and usually innovative every album. she never repeats herself.
sad though that I think some young starlets are more respected nowadays then M because of ageism.
Better performer? Close, but bey imo.
Better singer? Bey
Better music? Its subjective, i like rnb so bey
More respected? Madonaa
More successful? Madonna by a LONG shot
They are pretty equal tbh but madge takes the cake because shes more involved in her work and is much more creative.
However I will say that Beyoncé along with Pink are by far the best younger performers out there. all the others I find cheesy and.. well.. easy. you won't see them moving around their arms or running around just to give the impression they're dancing or doing some difficult choreo. they're real professionals. Bey and pink really put their effort in every night. that's just about shows/performing though.
Better performer? Beyonce with live vocals, Madonna probably puts on a better show, but it's lip synced, but Beyonce's performances sometimes bore me tbh
Better singer? Beyonce obviously
Better music? Tough, Madonna has more classics, but I've never loved a full Madonna album, I have with Bey so I vote Beyonce
More respected? Madonna
More successful? Madonna
Overall = ? I voted Beyonce regardless of my findings
I had this discussion with my roommate jus yesterday. He is a die hard Beyonce fan and I'm a die hard Madonna fan.
Beyonce's Lack of creativity and innovation is what puts her behind in this case. U win da Video Vanguard Award and instead of coming up with a fresh new performance for a medley, u decide to rehash performances u have been doin on stage the last few months,
Vocally Beyonce wins hands down
Music Madonna wins hands down. Madonna from 1984-1989 had scored 16 consecutive Top 5 hits. Beyonce had a drought of four years from having a Top 10 hit. And don't even bring up genre cuz Janet had da same string of consecutive top 5 hits being mostly R&B.
Respected once again Madonna. Queen of Pop.
Successful - Madonna. Let's jus compare what has been done in da same age bracket, with no social media, Madonna was on top of da world, sold out stadium tours, Video Vanguard Award after 3 years, her second and third album went on to sell over 20 million worldwide.
that same monster stuck again in this thread.
