Yes as a matter fact i do. I will break it down very clearly with song titles that showcase exactly why they are better than Beyonce - who just seems to shout and growl. Her runs have to travel up key to reach a crescendo as she is unable to full belt the note from the start. She has slim to no power instead she shouts the higher key instead of singing - it also needs to be growled out as she begins. and the tone is not so nice either...
just some examples.
Leona Lewis -
Michelle WIliams - a beautiful track from her new album
Brandy
(absolutely exceptional)
Keyshia Cole
(one of a kind)
Toni Braxton
and thats this year, almost twice Beyonce's age..
As for Mariah. Nothing ever needs justifying.
and Im not going to go further into it... its just not worth it.
Gaga is creative in a different way.....she applies theatrics to her voice in a way that not many (if any) other mainstream singers do. She sings in weird, unconventional ways at times to sort of play a character in the song she's singing.
Some examples....
Bad Romance (the verses mainly and the "ra ra"s)
Speechless (a few lines in the verses have a weird twang to them, like "he's gonna get you")
Government Hooker (the operatic vocals at the beginning)
Judas (the bridge and weird accent in the verses)
Bloody Mary (the verses mainly, the weird way she ends the lines)
Aura (the entire song other than the chorus, she's literally playing a character in this song with the crazy vocals)
MANiCURE (the verses)
Donatella (the chorus)
Mary Jane Holland
Dope (self explanatory)
Applause (the verses)
While Bey's lower register seems to be getting stronger
Thats because the upper register is hardly existent.. Of course there has to be one strength and with Beyonce its her lower register, which only proves her limitations.

The thing about Leona....she kinda always sounds the same, doesn't really change her style with the kind of song or genre she's singing. Also, I think she lacks personality.

Please don't. None of what you said made sense anyway.
Leona Lewis is compared to Mariah. Not Beyonce.. If Beyonce was better, would she not be compared to her and not Mariah
Why would Beyoncé want to be compared to Mariah or any other vocalist?
Leona may be compared to her, but she doesn't even possess half of the vocal talent in Mariah's baby toe.
That just proves Leona Lewis is nothing but an over glorified karaoke singer.
but she's growling and screeching. Its forced and falling apart, also its slightly off key at times, which is where the adlibs and 'creative' decisions come to play. All to hide the fact that she is unable to belt and sustain.

Beyonce could never.
Not when her range is fully connected and from bottom to top . You sound incredibly misinformed and delusional.

What logic is this? She's compared to Mariah because she used to sing her songs and because their falsettos are similar. There's no other reason.
Beyoncé has a very unique style which is hard to replicate successfully anyway. It's best Leona doesn't try to do anything too crazy.
BTW, has Leona ever even sustained a resonant F5? Has she ever sung a phrase in the 5th octave? If Bey's upper register is nonexistant, then Leona's is doomed.
