alejandreaux 1,053 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 it's one thing to prefer Gaga over Beyoncé, but there is seriously an element of delusion that goes along with thinking that "Gaga is SOOOOOO far ahead of Beyoncé!!!!11!1" overall as an entertainer. Gaga is clearly one of the best female artists right now and she's on her way to legendary status, but Beyoncé has just been on another level since Self-Titled. The Lemonade era was so impeccably crafted and well thought out, from the visuals, to the performances, to the promo, the music, etc. The girl has been killing every performance, had one of the most acclaimed female pop albums ever, and one of the best selling tours ever. Beyoncé right now is on a level that no one has been on since Gaga in her 2009-2011 days. Gaga is KILLING the game as well with her performances especially, but creatively her vision overall and her music needs a revamping so she can truly make it back to that place. (Although Gaga is doing an amazing job at it this year, with Super Bowl, Coachella, acclaimed sold out tour, etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDi 1,495 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 since when are robothighs and stomping (this particular video) considered great dancing? since when is skipping half of the lyrics with an occasional word or two in the ugly-low register great singing? since when is singing and dancing all there is to performing? and finally, with what kind of performance skills can boring art/persona be entertaining? Beyoncé looks like she feels the need to prove herself all the time and is so funny when she forgets to smile for a minute there and suddenly remembers to, without any connection to the performance/lyrics. she has the stage presence of an ambitious deaf monkey (...don't even try it. monkeys everywhere.) 10 years from now, the Beyoncé bandwagon will make our times look painfully primitive. it's like we suddenly forgot all of entertainment history, Destiny's Child and early Beyoncé included. like we forgot what actual excellence, actual passion and actual flair is. people fuelling this kind of unfortunate social pressure phenomenon better enjoy it while it lasts (if that time hasn't already passed ) I still don't understand what kind of "Gagahead" finds enough to feed his pop heart in an artist like Beyoncé. I thought those were the people who think Gaga is "idk kind of gross/too weird/pretentious". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things you mentioned are purely subjective. This thread is about comparing a person who does a choreo while singing with a person who's just shaking on stage while letting the pre-recorded vocals do the work for her. Gaga's music and vision doesn't need anything, that's what Lady Gaga is all about- she's not gonna change her artistic vision to get herself to "that place" even tho I have no idea what place ur talking about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairBow 599 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I don't know ... I personally don't think that the "best performer of our time" would have lipsynced the National Anthem for our President's Inaugural ... I think Beyonce is painfully overrated (and I say "painfully" because people try to force her on me 24/7, it seems). Sorry I'm not sorry. If people go to her shows to watch her dance well, that's totally fine. I personally don't think her dance moves are revolutionary or anything like that, and when I go to a music concert, I want to enjoy the singing and the music. So ... I don't think a Beyonce concert is for someone like me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miel 15,009 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I would consider Bey to be, like, kind of the golden standard of conventional pop performers. Gaga simultaneously lives up to that standard, and also eschews away from those standards. Their artistry is sometimes similar and kind of interconnects, but sometimes they're both also very incomparable with each other. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
