Vocals: Beyoncé vs LaToyá Jackson
Quote:
La Toya Jackson has a three-octave voice and possess the vocal range of a light-lyric soprano which soars to a high D#6 in her single, "Bet'cha Gonna Need My Lovin'."The Evening Independent says that she has an "attractive, pleasant voice that is matured and controlled." Andrew Hamilton of Allmusic describes her voice as a light, wispy "sexy whisper". Like her siblings, Michael and Janet, she is mainly a pop, R&B and dance music performer but she has also dabbled in rock as heard in her song, "No More Drama", reggae in her signature song "Heart Don't Lie, and jazz in "I Don't Want You to Go."

Knowles' vocal range spans 3.6 octaves. She has been identified as the centerpiece of Destiny's Child.The Daily Mail calls Knowles' voice "versatile", capable of exploring power ballads, soul, rock belting, operatic flourishes, and hip hop.[213] Jon Pareles of The New York Times commented that her voice is "velvety yet tart, with an insistent flutter and reserves of soul belting". Other critics praise her range and power, with Jody Rosen of Entertainment Weekly describing her as "a storm system disguised as a singer" and Chris Richards of The Washington Post saying she was "capable of punctuating any beat with goose-bump-inducing whispers or full-bore diva-roars."
