and this performance is a mess
she's straining and trying to force power
growls are a fault, they're not something that you have to "do"
her singing is the most try-hard, ridiculous, over-embellished mess I've ever heard
she can't get through one song without running all over the place
I honestly don't know how people take this seriously

No, I meant black people generally have better and stronger voices. White people just aren't as good, generally speaking. IMO Whitney was the best singer, and no one will ever come close. Ask anyone the same question and at least 90% would say Whitney, I'm sure.
You also have AMAZING black singers like Aretha, Jennifer Hudson, Bey, Mariah ( these 2 are mixed ), and so on... But people like Xtina, Celine and Kelly Clarkson who are white are able to come close to that level ( not comparing them to anyone, just black singers in general ). I've heard people saying Xtina has a ' black voice ' so many times, and it's a compliment. It's a fact that black people are better singers. Not all of them, but GENERALLY they are.
As for your opinion on X, well that's your opinion.

Beyonce is never underrated vocally wise, everyone I know knows that she can sing her ass off. I prefer her vocally to Legend X tho since Legend X strains her voice too much when singing live.

She has a beautiful mid register and used to be able to throw out great melismas but that's it. She over emotes and over sings all the time and though that is subjective, she comes off as trying too hard imo.
Beyoncé has incredible technical grounding, she has never hit a note improperly in her life. Her melismas are clearer, faster and more complex, her belts and lows are actually supported and she has better control over her registers and can emote incredibly well too (see I Care being recorded). And her vibrato, woo lord  Bey is the clear winner here.

The fact that Beyoncé has lipped some performances in the past 3 years says it all.
Christina can sound bad sometimes, but she emotes and that's something Beyoncé can't do.
You can shade Christina all you want, she's a flop, she's fat, she screams, she runs, but she doesn't sound amateurish. EVER.

Beyoncé has more control and technique.
However Christina feels more like a "natural singer" to me and sings with more emotions.

Beyonce underrated vocalist? Please, I always hear others praise her voice and makes it seem like she's the best vocalist ever. I'm not saying her voice isn't good, she's far from underrated though.
Xtina is a better vocalist when she's not screaming.

Beyonce is a better singer.
But I think Christina at her best has more soul and emotion in her voice. She connects and emotes well.

Xtina may be a biT too much at times but her tone alone destroys Bey.

Who are you to say that? Unless you know Beyoncé personally, you don't know what she has experienced.

What kind of delusion? The biggest problem with Christina has always been her lack of control. That is the definition of amateurish singing. To this day, the woman is all over the place almost every time she opens her mouth. Her voice is naturally amazing, maybe even better than Beyoncé's, but if she isn't using it right, who cares? There's a reason why there are classic jokes and videos making fun of Christina's voice and there aren't any of Beyoncé.

Beyonce is a phenomenal singer, Christina is below average. Beyonce wins by default.
Christina still has a great voice though.
But for the most part I don't really stan for amazing singers, so what do I know?

Proving once again that laymen equate loud, 'soulful' singing with quality.
