that gif is basically enough to end this thread.

The original.

Range =/= talent. You can hit notes, and have them sound horrible. Listen to Gaga's "Red And Blue" for that.

And im pretty sure that's inaccurate....

Madonna plays the guitar about as well as i can. Madonna's voice sucks. Gaga's is stronger than hers.

This (who's more musically talented) is a dumb arguement.

Monroe's not in this poll


and Gaga if it was at the same time

this isn't a did Gaga copy Madonna? thread

This.

So what if Gaga is more "talented" that doesn't matter at all Madonna was trashed and Cyndi Lauper was acclaimed back then and look what happened.

Talent and intellect.

Let's not forget Gaga's business strategies are being studied at Harvard.

What are you asking?

You said if they came around at the same time and I suppose LG's career would've ended like Cyndi's (not much longevity).

And we're still not sure in Gaga will last in this day & age so...

i can also put my leg on a piano while playing it, am i more talented than Madonna? no.

imo Gaga's voice is mediocre. she sings comfortably only in 1 octave, if she goes a little higher it falls flat. the rest she normally shouts. shouting =/= singing.

madonna's voice on the other hand is divine.


professional reviews of their voices:

Gaga:

Vocal Type: Contralto
Vocal Range: 2.5 octaves
Longest Note: 7 seconds
Vocal Pluses: Powerful, passionate voice, with a rock tinge. Expressive voice that does not lean on melisma to impress. High belting can sound like shouting at times, which would indicate bad technique or singing outside of her range.


Madonna:

Vocal Type: Mezzo- Soprano
Vocal Range: 4 octaves
Longest Note: 17 seconds
Vocal Pluses: Adapts her vocal style to the music she's singing well. The middle of her range is her strongest suit: it's solid, with a warm colouring and a clear timbre. Her chest voice is bright and sharp. While her head voice can be either soft and delicate, or direct and solid.

The one with vocal talent.

please link me to Madonna's vocal pluses

Either way, you just proved my point

Madonna doesn't sound good. She has a messy vibrato, a melodic nitch, and that's all it is.

Vocals
Riff control: Gaga
Vibrato: Gaga
Diversity: Gaga
Belt: Gaga
Head voice: Madonna

Can't believe i have to prove who has the better voice, my God.

Madonna she competed with MJ in the 80's she would annihilate Gaga who is nothing but a wannabe blond ambition Madonna,Gaga is song writing is crap plus millions of people can play the Piano big deal ,Gaga has nothing on Madonna, look at all the promo Gaga has to do to sell her stuff lol Madonna never had to resort to selling her albums at 99 cents.

This Gif speaks for it's self.


















And Madonna's vocal range is bigger than Gaga's so don't even try. Gaga's vocals always fall flat every time she try's to sing high. That's why she shouts.

uhmm...
so Madonna sounds bad..
ok... maybe she shouldn't sing at all....

not making much sense you know.

listen to stuff like Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, Like A Prayer. It slays anything gaga ever done vocally.

Madonna.

for lil monsters putting your leg on a piano and shouting like mad = great talent and great voice.

that's your opinion.
imo Madonna anihilates Gaga in the vocal department.
so does Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Adele, Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis... not to mention the goddesses like Mariah, Whitney & Xtina.

Mess. even Britney in the past was able to belt notes without falling flat. I can't say that now since her voice has weakened, but anyways I cannot at the monsters thinking shouting is belting. I bet if it was Christina they would be quick to say she was screaming right?
