Is Florence a better vocalist than Gaga?

[SHALLOW 14,815]

So, Gaga and Florence are my two faves and i think they're very different artists.

I think Gaga expresses her artistry in more ways but Florence has definitely a better voice and can definitely hold a note longer than Gaga .  

Do  any of you agree?

I mean, i think that these posts say that Florence's voice is clearly superior in certain conditions but these were updated in 2012 and we know Gaga has gotten a lot better during the years so i want to know what do you think about this

No.  She’s not, IMO. When I watched 5F2 I was kinda cringing at the Hey Girl scene cause Gaga was completely upstaging Florence with the vocals and I felt bad for Florence.  Love them both though

I think Hey Girl was definitely not a good example of Forence's abilities. I knew she could do better and in fact i was very disappointed. But look at this

Yeah but for some reason i don't think Gaga can sing Florence's songs the same way she does

Where is the jazz, Broadway, country/rock singing by Florence? There you have it, I like Florence vocals but Gaga versatility is unequaled.

Gaga is technically superior and versatile . But Florence has a hauntingly beautiful voice.

Not even half as good as Gaga.

 

Sometimes she sounds like a goat tbh

That's absolutely true. I don't think Florence is as versatile but i think Gaga would definitely sound worse singing her songs whereas Florence sounds heavenly

That's rude. You should listen to more of her songs and reconsider your opinion.

I think Florence is good at what she does, but her vocals are very... limited imo

Yeah, maybe that's it. But that might also be a good thing cause i can't see anyone else singing her songs as good as she does

She has the most interesting vibrato since Grace Slick, but she also has problems with her intonation at times.

You shouldn't hold that as a factor in term of vocal ability tho. I believe that is just a difference in their artistry, just like Florence doesn't sing Gaga songs the same way. Also Florence's songs have poetic elements tailored for her, like how a rap song is written based specifically on the rapper experience. 

I would place Gaga above Florence in technique but I love love love Florence's tone and the choices she made with her phrasing.

Sorry for the rant
