gaga is a better preformer period. gaga can play. sings live. beyonce is manufactured as ****. in my list i listed the top of the top. beyonce is not top at perforimng cus gaga is better than her. beyonce is well great at everything. but top at nothing

What does being manufactured really have to do with being a great performer?

I love Gaga as a performer, I think her abilities as a pianist are better than her contemporaries which is where she really shines. Gaga's main strength as a performer is her theatrical background, which I love, and her educated approach to performance. She is also an artists that really pushes herself as a performer and strays from the norm.

With that being said, from a purely technical perspective I think that Beyonce is a better performer. Her choreography is better, her ability to control her voice while performing said choreography is better and she is an incredible vocalist.

Gaga couldn't pull off a performance like the Billboard performance I posted, she doesn't have the technical skill. In fact I don't know ANY other pop star atm who could pull of a performance like that. I mean, that isn't a dig at Gaga, I don't think Beyonce would ever attempt a performance such as Paparazzi VMA or Swine at SXSW, but you're basing Gaga being a better performer on nothing but personal taste and I think a very strong argument could be made that Beyonce is a better performer. I prefer Gaga as an entertainer and performer, but in terms of technical skills I think Beyonce has her beat.

I think it's very hard to claim that Beyonce is "Top at nothing".

I don't agree. I think that Gaga is actually maybe not the best performer (Beyonce is equally good). But she is the best singer and songwriter

These theories are fallacies.

She lipsynced at the Inauguration if that's what you're talking about? But no, generally she doesn't. She dances and she sings live

Eh, I disagree. Tbh I'm not a die-hard Beyonce fan but when she she's performing live her singing/dancing always has everyone fired up (including me ) her dancing is just about always on point including her singing. If anything, imo, Beyonce is one of the best performers of our generation. She just takes the cake from Gaga for being a better performer is all. Nothing bad about it really, our faves all have their special talents and excel in different compartments compared to others

 that's some great evidence you have there.

Regardless, even if you did have videos showing this it wouldn't disprove that #1 "generally she doesn't" lip sync and that #2 "Her choreography is better, her ability to control her voice while performing said choreography is better and she is an incredible vocalist."

I mean Michael Jackson lip-synced some of his performances and people don't use that to discredit his ability as a performer.

Her timing is incredible here, her choreography is spot on and she is singing strongly - not lipsyncing. 
 

Performing her iconic choreography while singing live

 

Vocal performances 


And of course this long meadly which she slayed without lipsyncing with parts of heavy choreography:

All these performances show she has great technical skills. She is a great dancer, she is a great singer and she has great control of her voice when while dancing. She is one of the most technically gifted pop stars around period.
