When we compare two voices we compare many things like: Power, colour,emotion, technique, range, uniqueness, versatility.

(What you will read are facts from specialist and not personal)

Lady Gaga

Range: Aprox 3 octaves

Vocal Type: Mezzo-Soprano (though many claim Contralto)

Positives: Very well trained voice that can give the maximum inside it's range and great technique. Very dark and full low notes. Generally her voice has a very dark tone that is a sign of a Mezzo Soprano but its also a bit different. She can also make her voice very aetherial if she wants. Powerful belts than can even follow rapidly one another if she wants. Good vibrato. Her vocal phrasing is very unique, powerful and colourful and so her voice can carry a lot of emotions, her voice is one of the most emotional in the industry. Rock vibe. Can sing is Melisma even if she rarely uses it, generally Gaga rarely tries to impress with her voice. Ability to hold pitches for extended periods without wavering. Gaga's voice is also one of the most versatile in the industry, she can adjust it into Pop, Jazz, Rock, Country, raw balladary like its her own gerne. Her voice gets even better as the time passes.

Negatives: Negatives in Gaga's voice mainly come from her higher belts. Sometimes when too high it seems like she is shouting while when sometimes too low it seems that she is talking. Gaga rarely uses her head voice live even if this is mostly her artistic choice. When dancing her voice sometimes wavers off-key. (this is expected though).

Beyonce

Range: aprox 3 octaves and 5 notes

Vocal Type: Mezzo Soprano

Positives: Probably the most well-trained voice of all the pop stars of our age. Vocal acrobat, being able to sing long and complex melismas and vocal runs effortlessly, and in key. Beyonce can sing and dance without loosing her key because of great breath control. Great staccato. She can hold notes for extended periods with or without vibrato, and without wavering in pitch. Able to flip through each register effortlessly, and maintains agility to every note.The vibrato is well controlled, and gives the 3rd lung illusion. Her head voice is operatic.

Negatives: Her upper belts can be perceived as shouting, and can also sound shrill without her vibrato. Her voice loses clarity in some lower notes. Her voice is considered to have a very uninteresting colour and many consider it boring or indifferent.

My personal opinion: The fact I am a Lady Gaga stan doesn't mean that I must prefer her voice. Still one of the reasons I became a fan is Gaga's voice, because of it's dark colour, full emotion and versatility that always reminds me that she is something more than a pop star for me. Beyonce clearly has the se

Superior technique but for me all the technique and power in the word can't change the fact that I honestly and without any bias always found her voice uninteresting and boring, like the ones that the description mentions. She uses all the technique and power and still I don't turn my head to see who is singing. I always had that issue with Beyonce.

What do you think? (it would be better to read the facts about their voices before answering and give your personal opinion)

Beyonce has a wider range and has a more "black" voice.

 

Gaga's hoarse voice tho. :legend:

Gaga.

When Gaga doesn't grunt and sings more purely and feminine, she sounds absolutely amazing. But for the past 3 years she has ditched her feminine voice more a more rough voice and she has been grunting all the time (which doesn't suite her at all).

Beyonce is the better singer as in what you're capable of on stage. She can sing her ass of like no other.

Gaga is the better singer when it comes to emotion, power, versality and actual songs which people would like to listen to.

It's closer than it seems, but Beyonce wins

This is probably the best description and the closeest to the truth.

I'd say Gaga. Gaga can do more styles of music and has a more unique voice. Be can hit a note better and definitely belt better, but her type of voice is just too common (esp amongst black women).
