Experts: Beyonce is the greatest living artist

[JusticeforVenus 950]

Do using Godesses from many countries make u the Best artist? Sure Jan... That Performance May have a LOT of art mixed but Damn it was boring as hell... 

[Fish 6,252]

Omg she is sooooo overrated I cant 

[KURUSHITOVSKA 20,451]

Well then she should sell art instead of divorces. Saying things like this they make me "not like her" even more. How can she be the greatest when she just buyis art from other people and make it hers? Bye.

I feel Gaga and Beyonce are close contenders....it's  hard to deny both of their artistic expressions and performance skills

However...Lets just say there's a reason Im on GGD

I prefer artists who are not afraid to show their flaws.

 

With Beyoncé, she always strives for perfection and wants to be someone's queen. Beyond all that facades of visuals and techniques, I often find her boring, inauthentic and emotionless.

Here's my two cents:
Although Gaga is a great artist, one of the greatest of our times, Beyonce remains ahead of her.

That one performance, the pure visual elegancy of it proved that.

Don't @ me.

And Madonna is the greatest artist alive

I highly doubt Beyoncé designed the visuals. None of us are qualified to say who the greatest artist is because we have no idea what parts of the writing process, videography, visuals, outfits, etc. were chosen from the artist directly or chosen by their creative team.

I see your point and agree. But nevertheless, she takes the credit for it so I would still give it to her unless she comes out and says "yes, my team did this"

But Madonna remains the greatest alive. I. am. qualified. to. say. that.

That's still quite the claim. There are 7 billion people in the world, most of which you have never met. There are hundreds of thousands of creative artists out there that you are incapable of even knowing about. Just because Madonna was so mainstream for so long, had elaborate performances, and a successful career, does not mean she is the best artist in the world. Art is extremely subjective in nature, that is the entire point of being an artist. There is no tangible way to measure art.  It is impossible to substantiate that argument because art is so ambiguous.  Why can't we all just appreciate artists for what they put out into the world? Why is there this incessant need to say someone is better than somebody else.

nope

Since when making references makes you the greatest artist alive?

Being multitalented does. Lady Gaga posseses more talents than any of her peers. And even if making references made you the greatest artist alive (which it obviously doesn't), Lady Gaga makes a statement with every body of work she does and she has vast knowledge of those who came before her, you name them: Fellini, Kubrick, Bob Wilson, Warhol, Quentin, Michelangelo, Abramovich, Fritz Lang, Liberace, and the list goes on and on.

Madonna is the best. Period.

[malibooo 256]

Yes Bey is amazing and all but she is the most overrated being on the planet

[ANVEEROY 64,375]

I love Beyonce but can you tell me what is her impact in pop music? How she changed the industry? 

[baptism 2,670]

She isn't even an artist though. Other people do all the work for her, she's just the face of the operation. So that's really truly false.

Okay, I don't even care much for Madonna, but this is some straight up delusion right here. Madonna never was the best vocalist, but she was just as capable as Beyonce in the dance department and as an artist in general. 

Beyoncé is a much better dancer than Madonna. That's not even bias, she just is.

Dont take this the wrong way, I love Madonna, but she has never been at Beyoncé's level of dance. I'd honestly say she's tied with Gaga for dance ability.
