Who is the:
Better performer?

Beyoncé is better in every aspect except success and controversy.

Bey takes singer
Madonna takes the rest

Bey for all.

Madonna for all sans voice.

Better performer? Yonce
Better singer? Yonce
Better music? Yonce
More respected? Yonce
More successful? Madonna

Madonna

wtf is this, someone close this thread

Madonna and its not even debatable.

Bey,

BETTER performer? Bey.. Madonna has better stage production though.
Better singer? Bey by miles
Better music? Madonna has the bigger, more innovative discography
More respected? Beyoncé
More successful? Madonna

Beyoncé for all except success.

Although Bey is clearly proving to come close as her total sales are around 205M.

Her net worth is getting very close.

And her success in earning awards is probably already passed Madonna's. I believe she only has MJ ahead of her in that aspect?

Madonna musically. Beyonce wins performing and ability. Madge has sold 300 million records (and no its not an exaggeration) so I'd say most successful still.

Is Madonna really that respected? Even though she's incredibly successful I feel like people clown her a lot

Madonna and is not even close, only delusional Beyonce stans would think that she is the "better performer" or crap like that....

Madonna for all except in singing.

Madonna.

Better performer?: A tie
Better singer? B obvi
Better music? Madonna
More respected? Madonna
More successful? Madonna

So Madonna

.

Anything Madonna has done performance wise Beyoncé can do easily and better she just does her own thing
