We just gonna have to agree to disagree. I don't wanna fight, and have some love and respect for both Madonna and Whitney. I respect your opinion and see where you are coming from.

Bigger: Madonna
Better: Whitney
Everything was already there for Madonna. Whitney BROKE down doors for R&B music.

Oh! Is that so?
Whitney was clearly more gifted than Madonna. I mean, her voice alone >>>>>>>>>>
Singing (being a vocalist) is more than talent, it is a skill. And well, Madonna isn't that great as a dancer. And her songwritting is so-so. We don't need to talk about her vocals.
I vote for Whitney.

They're equal.
I will say it's VERY hard to compare them.

Whitney is a more talented vocalist but Madonna is a more all-around performer.

While Whitney certainly had the vocal talent, she didn't have Madonna's vision. Madonna has the better discography and overall performance skills by far, the woman broke down barriers and her most of her music post-Like a Virgin all have had political commentary and substance. I like Whitney, but Madonna is definitely more iconic, she is a staple in pop music.

Madonna.
Better, more influential, more well-known music, videos and tours. More impact on music and popular culture. More awards, more recognition, more success.
Whitney of course is far more talented than Madonna when it comes to singing, but she was never a songwriter or a performance artist.

Madonna changed the music industry in terms of image, business and the expectations of a woman, and has been an inspiration for tons of singers and musicians in terms of how they market their images and what kind of music they sing.
Whitney Houston took the singing schools of Aretha and Barbra and channeled them into one singing style that every vocalist has been drawing on for the past 25 years+. She not only made singing important again, but she completely changed the way people sang and what they sang. As an African-American woman, she represented pop, R&B, black and female singers and her success knocked down doors and blazed a trail for them. She pioneered the image of the modern era pop diva: the glossy, commercial image and the sweeping, soaring ballads and virtuosic mid and uptempos.
