Both women started at the same time and have similar sales, but who is the more respected artist by critics AND the GP?

Beyoncé. Avril isn't really respected and she further diminished her legacy when she married Chad Kroeger and released Hello Kitty.

The original Avril. Now it's Beyoncé, especially after her marriage to Jay-Z.

Beyonce

Bey by everyone except those pesky "oh, she's not wearing enough clothes, I hate ha!" girls.

Hipsters tend to slightly prefer Avril for her anti-Britney phase too

Avril for her skin, originality, songwriting credits, etc, etc.

Eww...

The answer is BY FACT Beyoncé, look at their MC scores, Awards.

Bey. Avril ain't respected.

Omg, I got y'all so pressed yesterday that now you're making a Bey vs Avril threads

Too bad ATRL votes by Beyonce's stans aren't GP opinions. Avril is way more respected, and that's a fact. When Avril comes to Japan, they worship her, but when Beyonce comes 95% of people have no idea who she even is. /ENDTHREAD
