Beyoncé has a better voice and she is the better performer but I value creative vision higher than that so I'll vote for GaGa. I also think GaGa is more talented when it comes to being a star, attracting attention, getting people talking and generating profits.
BTW people, lets not forget everyone has their own opinion, and both of these artists are well known for their talents so there is no obvious choice like there would be in a Kesha Vs Beyonce poll or something like that.
Both are great artists. Beyoncé is more talented. Simple as that. To sum it up, what Lady Gaga can do, Beyoncé can do & even better, but what Beyoncé is capable to do on and off stage, I dont think Gaga could.
Singing: not only her comfort zone, but owning other genres (R&B, Pop, Pop/Rock, Alternative Rock, Ragga, Soul, Blues, Funk, Ballad, Accoustic, Country, Hip-Hop, Latin, Opera, Jazz, Scat, Ragga). Beyoncé can SANG, she can do highs & lows, and mostly runs. She constantly grow up vocally. Check among others 'Dangerously In Love' performance in 2005 at the DF Tour.
Performing: no need to detail, that's her main force, she can do Beyoncé & still pull off a Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita Baker or Etta James kind of performance. She performed 5 times at the oscars. Also & with/for Sugarland, Tina Turner, Georges Michael, Prince, Bono, Stevie Wonder, Jay-z or Barbra Streisand, look again the artists mentionned and think about their genres, which other female singer can perform at ease with such different genres & do it well?
Dancing: Beyoncé is a natural born dancer. She set the bar for female artists who now dance in nothing else but heels. Single Ladies is the best female dance music video of all time and the list of its accomplishments goes on. She does effortlessly different types of routines & dances (ex: african, arabic or latin inspired, musical routine at the oscars, ragga, belly-dance...). I think it's safe to say she has established her own type and identity in terms of dancing. It's the more important, and you can blatantly tell when other female artists or people try to dance like her.
Songwriting & producing: Beyoncé partly writes & contribuates during the creative process of her songs, melodies, vocals, she touches all (ex: Halo's demo and her actual version). She knows exactly what she wants & adds her twist in her music, especially requesting live instrumentations in her songs and performances. In her own words, she creates her own genre because it's not typical pop, r&b or rock and you can definitely feel that during her shows. She is a 'Pop Ascap songwriter of the year' winner which is an achivement some people seem to forget. The only woman to have written three songs which went to number-one in the same year (2006) since Carole King did it in 1971 and Mariah Carey in 1991. In terms of credits, she is tied with Diane Warren at third with nine number-one singles.
Direction: Beyoncé directed 'Ego', produced, edited and co-directed the 'I Am World Tour'. I also want to point out that Beyoncé is the artist who brought back cinematography with a real plot in music videos. The 'If I Were A Boy' was her vision & was just overshadowed by SL.
Creativity: I think no artist is very creative enough nowadays and that's not their fault because everything has been done before, they just try to revive the past and receive major help. I think Beyoncé does an excellent job, especially for her videos and tours/performances. Deja Vu, Ring The Alarm, If I Were A Boy videos were greatly creative. Single Ladies was genious, just her imagining that the ancient Bob Fosse choreography could be amazing now, is visionnary, I mean, who was thinking that when they watched the 'Walk It Out' video? I love that she makes everything (old) contemporary for us to discover. Beyoncé also worked with Mugler, brilliant idea cause she now has iconic tour costumes.
Others: Beyoncé is also an actress (snatched a Golden Globe nomination for 'Best Actress'. She portrayed different characters, including a drug addict) & model. The ability of leading a group and making it the most successful of all time and still be able to be the standard for female artists today, new & old, if thats not talent... Finally the word 'Bootylicious' entered in the Oxford dictionnary, just saying...
