  • They are both absolutely brilliant.

  • Why doesnt beyonce singing songs like this like she used to?!

  • Beyonce get's the club and parties bouncing. and her fan base is large. jhud is a SOUL singer. jhud has a (gospel n blues type voice). she's a sanger. and beyonce is a singer. they both good. when it comes to singing jhud hands down. bey's puts on a show. I see beyonce stans are being mean sayn 16 grammy's n all that (she's been in the game 4eva). but you have to give props wen do. Jhud won over 30 awards from the movie (nom. with bey). she was the breakout star that everyone was talkn about.

  • Ppl say beyonce cuz of her looks n cuz dry here, see, and kno most of her songs but they never think... Jennifer has a way most powerful voice.. On top of that beyonce had training all her life to sound like Wat she does today n Jennifer didn't.. So inns have to say Jennifer

  • Jen brings the voice, Bey bring the entertainment.

  • Jennifer has the power, Beyonce has the control and range. So i guess Beyonce wins

  • jennifer hudson wins!

  • i'm just gonna be honest and say my opinion is biased: i fucking love beyonce :)

  • Jennifer Hudson has power, but that power gets away from her quite often. Power without control can be a problem. Jennifer Hudson can sing her ass off of course, but she is no match for Beyonce's control, vocal range, stamina, and overall technique. Oh, and just to clear it up...the people that are bringing up any other award other than a Grammy can chillout. Oscars dont matter in this debate. Pay attention to their voices, and the choice is obvious...Beyonce takes this one home easily yo

  • @Justin100T seriously any normal person would say jennifer hudson is better hell i went to the movies to see dreamgirls and pretty much everyone gave her standing ovation like it was a concert or something because her voice is RAW that means she was born singing like this with no training beyonce had training all of her life to sound like hows she sounding now if jennifer had as much training to her voice like beyonce did then i don't even want to know how she would sound #outofthisworld

  • @gangstaladie True..Beyonce has had training, but are you saying that because Beyonce has ha that training that she doesnt deserve her props? Maybe Jennifer would be better with more training, but that's just it; she hasnt had that training yet because she still sounds the same. Jennifer has been in the game long enough to have had the training that you are speaking of, and if she hasnt gotten it then thats another topic.The point is Beyonce is a better vocalist. Jennifer is louder

  • I kinda like Jennifer more !!

  • Beyonce all day

  • BEYONCE!!!!

  • Jennifer blows Beyonce out of the water. I can't even listen to Bey because she tries too hard.

  • hands down hudson i think she sings this song way better

  • most church singers uses mix voice instead of head voice. It may depend on the song they sing.

  • jennifer hudson is dramatic mezzo and beyonce is spinto but more lyric mezzo

  • jennifer and beyonce are both mezzo its just beyonce uses more head voice and jennifer uses more mix voice and an opera all mezzo are comfortable in mix/middle voice. most dramatic mezzo sound altoish but when there voice tend to go up it shines up in the mezzo/ middle range.

  • jennifer hudson is not alto or tenor she is dramatic mezzo with somewhat of a dramatic soprano upper range. I dont know no tenor in opera or crossover music sing like that. I sing in church and I am a leggario tenor with high soprano abilities but my over all voice is tenor so how can she be tenor an alto/contralto are like toni braxton and anita baker, and jennifer hudson voice placement is higher than anita baker which is a true alto.

  • Beyonce is a high alto, low soprano where Jennifer is a strong alto, high tenor. It's really hard to compare the 2 vocally. Beyonce's voice is straight. She also has more years in the business so I can safely assume she has a vocal coach teaching control. Jen's voice is deeper with a more raw sound. Even when she is singing straight there's power. Jen has that "I've been in the church all my life" voice. I personally feel it more when I hear Jen sing, I'm more entertained with Bey.

  • @cympira7

    jennifer hudson is not alto or tenor she is dramatic mezzo with somewhat of a dramatic soprano upper range. I dont know no tenor in opera or crossover music sing like that. I sing in church and I am a leggario tenor with high soprano abilities but my over all voice is tenor so how can she be tenor an alto/contralto are like toni braxton and anita baker, and jennifer hudson voice placement is higher than anita baker which is a true alto.

  • B for sure

  • @robs7467 im not taking anything away from beyonce, however jhud has a natural power behind her voice from the first time anyone heard her voice, compared to beyonce thats power increased throughout the years, i PERSONALLY think when they did dreamgirls jennifers vocal presence pushed Beyonce to sing harder, hence all her grunts now! when a singer gets around good singers it naturally makes you wanna be your best!

  • @thaGoldenVocalist which is perfectly fine just like in sports but the point is she got better and pushed herself harder and she surpassed jennifer. In this video beyonce doesnt miss a note jennifer is off key and her rifs r terrible in most of it and beyonce's power and range r more distinct compared 2 jennifer because jennifer stays in her same key/octive the whole video beyonce goes high low and her norm

  • beyonce has more technical control and stage presence, but jennifer has power, emotion, soul, naturally she didnt have be taught, j hud is nothing but pure raw talent!!!! j uhd all the way, not to mention they used all great beyonce videos and went with very subdued videos of jenddifer....lol...its okay tho

  • @thaGoldenVocalist beyonce didnt have to be taught either and she has just as much power as jennifer

    

  • @thaGoldenVocalist But wait... what Beyoncé videos aren't great? Lol.

  • @AndreHouseman true true, she is an incredible talent, i just wish they use better vocal performances for jhud*

  • beyonce has more technical control and stage presence, but jennifer has power, emotion, soul, naturally she didnt have be taught, j hud is nothing but pure raw talent!!!! j uhd all the way

  • beyonce has no soul in her voice

  • @amitayy1 That is definitely a false statement. "Beyonce is the only one who got everything"??? There is definitely imperfection in everyone. Beyonce's acting skills are terrible. I feel that Halle Berry is just as pretty and she has way better acting skills, which is way she has so many awards. This is in no way meant to hate on Beyonce because she is beautiful and talented musically, but she is not the only beauty on this planet. However, she is the main one advertised.

  • Everyone can say what they like, but when it comes down to it.............we all know who won all the awards. LOL!

  • HANDS DOWN!!!!! JENNIFER!!!

  • OF COURSE THE QUEEN BEYONCE ! ITS OBVIOUS !!!

  • @amitayy1 Yesss Beyonce is compared too EVERYONE because she is the Total Package !

  • @terralwalker5 Beyonce is beautiful and talented, but as I said to amitayy1, I don't feel that she is the one beautiful girl with the "Total Package". She flaunts this image of absolute perfection and no one is perfect. So PLEASE do not let the media set the standard of beauty because I personally know a lot of girls that is shaped like just her and is just as beautiful. Just because they are no plastered on a billboard doesn't mean anything.

  • @AmReeHink Im not saying she the only one with the "total package" but she is Indeed THE TOTAL PACKAGE because I haven't seen a female in the industry yet like her or even comes close !

  • @terralwalker5 Okay, I understand where you are coming from because she is beautiful. I thought that you didn't realize that once you remove the $10,000 weave, the professionally done make up, the fake nails, and the million dollar clothes and jewelry, she would look just like any other pretty girl walking down the street. LOL! Because you know that there are some people that actually think that shes this rare form of female. LOL!

  • @AmReeHink Im looking a talent looks doesn't always matter Im not worrying about the that even though she is beautiful

  • BEYONCE takes this for the WIN

  • I don't think you can compare these two voices they singer similar songs but beyonce and Coline Dion are more comparable they have been in the business for a long time and know their voices and vocally they are very similar.....in range and everything! Jennifer and Fantasia are more comparable they are both young and sort of new in the business and vocally the same as far as beltinging and loudness and range and style of singing! Just my opinion!

  • Beyonce bc she dosent scream and she has power and controll over her vocals.

  • u guys who say beyonce there is a reason j hudson got the bigger singing part in dream girls

  • @dereshasimmons12 Yeah, because the character, Effie, is supposed to be fat and less attractive. Beyonce can't do that.

  • @dereshasimmons12 but Beyonce was LEAD !

  • beyonce is good and more pupular and style but jenifer is better in vocals.,.

  • Beyonce hands down !!! The note at 5:06 was the amazing

  • I think anyone who says that Beyonce won this one is only saying that because they have been a fan of hers for a long time. JENNIFER WON THIS. She can not help the fact that God gave her a louder vocals. She can be soft when she wants to but extremel powerful. You could barely hear Beyonce in some parts of the award performance. She can scream all she wants because Beyonce tries and wishes that she could be just as loud but she cant. Beyonce is NOT the best at everything. Sorry people.

  • @AmReeHink Yeah she's got louder vocals, but she can't control them. She goes out of tune and screams a LOT. Beyoncé is flawless vocally, she's just not as powerful as Jennifer. They're both superb though.

  • @jamieleeke14 It may be true that Jennifer can not control her vocals to perfection. However, Beyonce has been singing professionally for 12 years and Jennifer is able to at least keep up with her and she's just starting her career. All I can say is that Beyonce won 3 Soul Train awards her first year with Destiny's Child and Jennifer won an Oscar and a Grammy. If you look at it from that angle, Beyonce can't even begin to touch Jennifer.

  • @AmReeHink You can also look at like from the perspective that Beyoncé was 19 when she won those awards and Jennifer was 26. Jennifer has been professionally singing for 7 years now, so she's not really just starting. She may have the raw talent, but that's just what it is. Raw. She is yet to refine it which is why I personally think Beyoncé is an overall better vocalist.

  • @jamieleeke14 I have never heard of Jennifer Hudson until American Idol. Have you? She started singing in a church choir when she was 7. That doesn't count.

  • @jamieleeke14 BTW, age aint nothing but a number. They were both adults when they started. And it is very rare and far between for two people to sound the same vocally. That is what makes the variety of music we have today. Beyonce is soft on the ears even when she's trying to be loud and Jennifer has a lot more power and singing capability. She can sing right over Beyonce any day of the week. No comparison.

  • @AmReeHink But what happend after the oscar and WOW grammy beyonce has 16,,,wha there more no Album sales OKAY

  • @beyonceboy100 An Oscar is much harder to get than a grammy. Jennifer Hudson has grammys and an Oscar. Beyonce tried and tried but she still hasn't won one yet.

  • @beyonceboy100 I am not counting Beyonce's current Grammys. I said the FIRST year she first came out and individuals started looking at her as a professional.

  • @AmReeHink I just think Beyonce won because her vocals are wayyyy better

  • @terralwalker5 I completely respect your personal opinion. I love Beyonce don't get it twisted. All I can say is that I am happy that she won a Grammy and an Oscar the first year that she started singing and professionally. That speaks volumes and its respectable.

  • @AmReeHink amen to that her acting skills proved what you said

  • @tdbrown88tdb Lets not forget that the genre of this movie is: Pop, R&B, Soul, and Disco because it does have 20 diffenerent songs throughout the movie. I doubt that it was her acting that got her those awards..........there was hardly any acting at all in comparison to other motion pictures. LOL! But its ok. Believe what you like, of course.

  • @AmReeHink i was agreeing with what you said, cuz she's not the best of everything just overrated and outdated, i've seen video girls dance better than that, and tbh that's all she's good for a video ass shaking hoe with an average voice and her acting skills i laugh at those who paid to even see that bullshit Obsess lololololololol

  • @tdbrown88tdb O. LOL! I misread the comment. Thanks! Ive just been attacked by so many Jennifer Hudson haters that I cant eve tell anymore. LOL! And you are so right about the movie Obsessed!!!!!!!!!!! My sisters and I laughed at almost every scene Beyonce was in because it was terrible. By the end of the movie, my rib cage was sore and my eyes was full of water because I was laughing so hard.

  • beyonce may not be able to belt as high as jennifer but she has much more control and her voice is more pleasant. beyonce also slays jennifer with low notes. when jennifer sings low notes, i can't hear her lol like "jennifer? did you say something??"

  • Hands Dwn Beyonce!! All Day

  • PEOPLE CAN SAY WHT THEY WANNA BUT BEYONCE GOT THIS ALL DAY ANY DAY BESIDES IF U LISTEN AND PAY ATTENTION JENNIFER HUDSON YELLS ANDPULLS IT OFF AS SINGING JST CAUSE IT SOUNDS GOOD!! YALL KNOW WHT IM TALKIN ABOUT!

  • I feel like its about what you like. With Jennifer I feel like what comes off as power to some ppl is screaming to others. And what some ppl claim is Beyonce's control is her being outrages with her runs. At the end of the day both of these ladies can SANG. I'm just glad they were paired up with each other rather than somebody like Rihanna

  • The person who uploaded this video tried to be easy on Bee n make it equal but every1 knows Jenn will blow her out the water!!

  • beyonce at 5:26 sounds like she should be a siren out of the odyssy right? lol

  • j hud won hands down beyonce aint shit she jus screams n holla.. aint got nuthn on j hud...

  • @mercedes060297 u a lie she sings jennifer asz is the one who be yellin but pulls it off as singing damn u cant hear strate

  • @cbubbz12 u gotta b jokin on j-hud, she got no control whatsoever! Lower register she's whack simple as dat, higher register she thinks soul is screamin! So Bee wins hands down cos she can do all things jen can do wit her voice except screaming dat is!!

  • the only song beyonce can even challenge jennifer on is listen.. and why.. because she had months to practice that song because it was HER PART in the movie.. so of course she is supposed to sound better in that song.. other than that..... jennifer has more control.. .shows less strange.. has more range (and by range i mean hitting high notes and low notes) its so funny how some people tries to say shit that america has clearly provin wrong

  • @CBubbz12 WTF Are you talking about Beyonce has more range, more control, Just less power. So stop being bias and lying.

  • @austinfrombustop not being biased its clear that j hud has much more control.. wen she sings.. beyonce looks exhausted after a great performance.. and thats fine.. but J hud sings effortlessly... and what do u mean by RANGE cuz by the definition of RANGE jennifer hudson has more.. she can hit high and low notes and both sound gorgeous.. beyonce can go higher than j hud but i dont consider that having greater range

  • at around 1:23, Jennifer Hudon sings beyonce's song listen, she tries to do the melisma at the listennneeeeeeeohh, but she failed hahah, it was completely our of tune

    BEYONCE WINNER

  • BEYONCE

  • Lmao, ya'll know jennifer screams her ass off, hell check out her perfomance of whr u at on oprah! Shitty stuff, she was tryna prove a point & she faild, we all know she got a big voice! Bt chick cnt use it!

  • J HUD!!!! Beyonce uses the same runs on all her songs....just plain played out

  • Jennifer hands down. beyonce is just a fake!!!!

  • Beyonce absolutely drowned out Jhud on that F5 note at 0:49. I LOL my ass off at people saying that jhud is more powerful that beyonce. Its blatantly clear that shes not in this entire video. Beyonces voice is far more full thich and resonant. Jhud is a thin shrieky screaming wailing bellowing mess. No vocal creativity or musicallity, no control or restraint. Beyonce is a virtuoso. She has a far greater voice and vocal gift than Jhud and shes a far better singer!

  • @hello07601 dude u clearly dont understand, Its a performance... and beyonce is making her appearance in the performance... so etiquette and clear rehearsal strategy... jennifer hudson is not going to overpower beyonce wen she is making her arrival are u kidding me??? do u think they are competing. there is no way to determine who is better by them singing together. and by the way.. jennifer doesnt sing at all during beyonce's appearance she acks off... ssoo that drowing comment is ignorant

  • HANDS DOWN!!!!! BEYONCE

  • @bossforlife08 thank u atleast u have common sense to know

  • @bossforlife08 beyonces voice is no soulful

  • This is funny. But if I had to say a best overall it would be Jen.

  • Jennifer hands down!!! No question one is pure (Jennifer) the other tries to hard (beyonce).... She does to much and its forced while jennifer really and truly sings a song to perfection!!!! #Team jennifer all the way!!!!

  • and the winner is... beyonce knowls lmao

  • i goda go with my girl b. queen b to di worl

  • I always feel like J Hud is yelling at me...she's a great singer but her voice is limited. She's spectacular at one type of music but she can't sing anything outside of that, beyonce isn't as good as JHud at the belting, powerful songs, but Beyonce can sing jazz, r&b, pop, broadway, etc...she can sing almost anything so you never get sick of her voice. Both are worth admiring & amazing at what they do.

  • Jennifer Hudson is a way better singer than Beyonce 100%. Beyonce uses echo machines and tries to hit notes she can't reach. She should just stick to dancing or modeling or something that doesn't involve talking or singing. Every time she sings it sounds like cats dying. Jennifer is good but she needs to work on her control but man can she belt those notes out.

  • @ka4yan420 Jennifer has a big mouth...She yells alot ...Sometimes i can't stand her voice...Beyonce is a better vocalist especially when it comes to range and runs...Jennifers voice is limited she only sound good singing 2 types of music which is r&b and gospel while Beyonce can sing rnb, gospel, pop, jazz, broadway etc....They're both good but Beyonce is a better vocalist hands down..

    7

  • @santita0 Really I have never heard jazz or Broadway? And Beyonce only sounds good because of all the echo machines drawing out her voice. Its sad that she makes people think she has a good voice. But hey you can listen to trash music.

  • @ka4yan420 LOL she doesn't use a echo machine and its like that because she sings at staduims where as jennifer can't sell out a world tour but not hating its just really sad that jennifer isn't as big as she should be but don't blame some echo machine for a reason that beyonce can sing cause if you listen to her sing with no microphone and a guitar she still has the same range & tone you really know nothing about music if you think beyonce can't sing so you fail

  • Comment removed

  • @ka4yan420 haha lol once again you failed again shes singing in a hospital with just a guitar and her back up singers maybe if you look it up you will find it hahahha and she doesn't use them she sings in staduims thats why it echo's but you wouldn't know that because you are a plain hater and so blinded by it :)

  • Comment removed

  • @ka4yan420 haha its actually funny that your calling her a bad artist and im not trying to get under your skin i really couldn't care if you like beyonce or not but calling someone a bad artist because you don't like is so stupid because if you think beyonce is a bad artist you really know nothing about music

  • @gammin5 Like I said before Its my own opinion. And another thing how come you keep backing her up? I saw all the other comments you put up. Its really funny that you keep defending her. Also, I do know music and beyonce doesn't fall into the good music category. And next time please don't use run-on sentence to state a claim because I got really confused about what you were saying. Another thing is if you say you don't care if I like her or not why do you keep saying I don't know music?

  • @santita0 ikr and agree

  • who put this ths vocal challenge together? please!!!! both of these young singers are superstars. where are u going with this? please look at the rest of the negative comments u brought out from the unmusicaly versed peanut gallery. and besides u should learn how to mix these tracks cause they are a nuisance to the ears. these girls deserve better.

  • who put this ths vocal challenge together? please!!!! both of these young singers are superstars. where are u going with this? please look at the rest of the negative comments u brought out from the unmusicaly versed peanut gallery. and besides u should learn how to mix these tracks cause they are a nuisance to the ears. these girls deserve better.

  • I belive that both have different signatures, and styles of singing. and neither one is bad on my ears. If i had to choose which one was better? I couldn't because I'd be lying either way.

  • beyonce 24/7...man not a gud comparison j.hud sound like she stranglin animals n shit

  • jennifer murders beyonce's prissy ass

  • Fantasia will take them both!!

  • Jennnifer has a stronger voice than Beyonce. But Beyonce has a prettier voice than Jennifer's and she can do more. Ive always loved Beyonce. But now she finally has some competition. I think Beyonce wins by a little bit :)

  • JHUD Killt it!

  • I think they are both good live. they both sing at different range as well. J Hud has a much stronger tone but Beyonce has that soft voice you like to listen to. They can't really be compared because of that difference, they both interpret songs differently and therefore sing them differently xx.

  • YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE CONTROL IN THE WORLD BUT BEYONCE DOSE WAAAAAAY 2 DAMN MUCH SHE RUNS ALL OVER THE PLACE IN ALMOST EVERY SONG A GOOD SINGINGER DOSE NOT NEED NORE HAVE 2 RUN EVERY TIME AND IN THIS THATS ALL U HEAR IS BEYONCE RUNNING...LOL I LOOVE HE THO SHE CAN SING HER ASS OFF AND J.HUD AS WELL BUT J.HUD IS A BORN IN THE CHURCH TYPE SINGER ..HER VOICE IS REAL!!. BEYONCE IS MORE SHOWY AND MADE FOR PUTTING ON SHOWS

  • @lildaddy58 Thank you! Well except Jazmine Sullivan! She does it well. LOL! Beyonce makes me damn sick! No doubt she's a great performer, but her voice isn't that great at all.

  • @lildaddy58 preach

  • BEYONCE ALL THE WAYY!! Listen to her duet with Alexandra Buerke on X factor, her performance on Oprah...

  • in reality jennifer sings her ass off but the difference is she yells alot beyonce sing so wen u make ur decision on who u like think about tht!!

  • Just because someone sings higher notes or has a stronger voice, doesn't mean they're a better singer. The question is who is the better vocalist? Both can obv. sing! But one is a better vocalist, and that is Beyonce. And the main reason why is control. Control is THE main thing you need to have a good singing voice, because it 'controls' your pitch, tone, vibrato, etc. and that's the FIRST thing a vocal coach will tell you. When Jen works on that, and her tone she will be a supreme vocalist.

  • Ppl hating saying Beyonce only a pop singer REALLY ppl have you heard her songs other than her commercial hits she sings more R&B than Pop anyways Jennifer can out-sing Beyonce BUT her flaw is she gives TOO MUCH and DOES TOO MUCH Beyonce has better control BUT her flaw is what Jennifer flaw is only a rocket scientist will understand what I mean Jennifer vocals or more raw while Beyonce is technically

  • BEYONCE ROCKS

  • jennifer hudson !!

  • Jhud killed dangerously in love. Whoever tries to compare them two are retarded. Beyonce has nothing on Jhud NOTHING. Also Beyonce doesn't sing live.

  • @Smielyb2000 DUMBASS Beyonce always sing live ! Idiot !

  • @sophy121199 You are retarded.  If you really believe beyonce sings live then you are not only retarded but delusional.

  • Comment removed

  • @Smielyb2000 u so damn dumb y bey dnt sing live u kno tht how much u listen cuz u must cant hear or something

  • @Smielyb2000 Not all the time!!!

  • @Smielyb2000 woow. did u really just say that?? beyonce sings live every single time she performs. her voice is prettier than Jennifers and she can do more with her voice. Jennifer is a good singer but beyonce is better than her

  • Jhud killed dangerously in love. Whoever tries to compare them two are retarded. Beyonce has nothing on Jhud NOTHING.

  • Beyonce!

  • Their both talented ladies! Don't compare ! :(.

  • I can't support Hudson's voice, BEYONCE is so AMAZING. She's THE woman record.

  • Jennifer Hudson!

  • Love both! 

  • BEYONCE

  • Team Jennifer.

  • Why are y'all fighting over who is better. Me personally I prefer Jennifer Hudson because as a gospel musician I prefer soul over dancing. Beyonce is a performer and Jhud is a singer. It is that simple.

  • bey technically is better...jennifer is more powerful....bey has more overall range...but jennifer has way more top range in places where bey has to go into a false......its a matter of taste in styles really

  • of course beyonce :s

  • Raw power --> Jennifer

    Better technique --> Beyonce

    More versatility --> Beyonce

    More soul --> Jennifer

  • Jennifer's Voice would overpower beyonces, but Beyonce has better technique and control. Jennifer hudson's voice is a little too much for my taste.

  • i love both of them! they both have an element of soul in their voices. sometimes i get tired of jennifer hudson screaming and sometimes i get tired of beyonce's safeness but they each are wonderful singers! :)

  • Im sorry You cant compare these two Im sorry Jennifer A singer Who sings Beyonce is a performer who sings..Jennifer voice makes me cry it moves me soo much Soul and emotions its just incrediable.

  • BEYONCE!!!

  • @iBreezy2013

    Well, in a sense, they are ALL commercial. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in the industry at all. The industry is a business. Jen would not be in the industry if there weren't the potential for her to sell.

  • @FemaleVocalLover1975 Yes, but Beyonce has not elements of soul to her voice. Like Rihanna she sounds studio. Even when she performs live, to me it has no feeling. Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige are three artist put heart and soul into their music. Beyonce only has heart. Yeah music is supposed to sale, but its also about making people feel good. I hear Jennifer Hudson and I want to cry. Even in Dreamgirls it was said that Deena couldn't sing like Effie. It's the same in ligr.

  • Well, Bey's music makes people feel good too. You can't use that as a way to judge whether an entertainer's music has soul or not. To be truthful, Bey(except for MJB) is the better "rhythmic vocalist" of the other two you named. And Rhythmic music is part of soul music(our music). You said that Bey only has heart, well is heart is part of soul. It's passion and yeah, Bey is brand but so is Jen and especially Alicia. They might appeal to you more, but they are pretty much the same coin.

  • What I think you're saying is that Bey don't have an "old school" sound to her tone, as say...Jennifer Hudson. Jen's tone takes you to church and is dramatic. More than Beyoncé's. Agreed. Bey is as "contemporary" as it gets but believe it or not, Bey is still(at this moment) the better musician at least vocally and depending on the song, I get more interpretative emotions from her than Jen, though that's not fair to judge because Jen is a newbie and don't have the music catalogue Bey has.

  • @FemaleVocalLover1975 I personally enjoy Beyonce as a commercialized singer. On the other hand she is a PHENOMENAL entertainer, that's it. Sometimes I much rather hear gospel than R&B because some of these ladies don't bring strength to their voice. I think if Aaliyah had survived her tragedy, she would most definitely have the game on lock. She didn't have much power that I love, but she was charismatic and soulful none the less. I can count on one hand Beyonce songs that evoke emotion.

  • I hear what you're saying and this is a good discussion, for being mature and articulate in what you are saying. That's the beauty of R&B though(Sometimes I much rather hear gospel than R&B because some of these ladies don't bring strength to their voice), you have singers who come from the school of Aretha and then you have those who come from the Diana Ross school. And I used them because there were the female vocals of the 60s.

  • Not every singer in R&B have that "gospelesqe tone" but the beauty of R&B is that there are more moods and different tones needed depending on what the song calls for. But I do get your point though because Gospel singers can take you there, they are some of the most talented singers in the world and maybe times no knows who they are because they aren't in the industry.

  • Jennifer has the power, Beyonce has the control /technique.

    Jennifer has the soul, Beyonce has the tone.

    Jennifer is louder, while Beyonce has a wider range.

    Overall its very hard to pick who is better since they both seem to be strong in one area where the other lacks, and weak in another area where the other shows strength. Its a classic apples & oranges debate to me. And mostly relies on your preference.

  • @BouSHaYe09 OMG i NEVERRR would have thought of it like that....damn that is the BEST response i have heard thus far....so so so true!!!! My hat goes off to you haha

  • when i went to go see dreamgirls after jennifer finished singing and iam telling you she got a standing ovation when beyonce sung listen it was like "okay we clapped that was cute didn't make me cry though"

  • @gangstaladie lololololol

  • .jennnifer - louder and waaaaayyyyy more soul

    .beyonce - more range and control........

    its a tie for me

  • I love them both..

  • i Say Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer is better than Beyonce anyday. Jennifer is more fun but serious and imperfect while to me Beyonce is trying to hard. I like Jennifers style in music. even though beyonce has more control at times, Jennifer makes her uncontrolable rolls sound just right at times. And like Beyonce she doesn't try to be so perfect at everything.

  • I LOVE JENNIFER HUDSON AND SHE HAS MORE POWER BUT BEYONCE IS A OVER ALL BETTER SINGER WHO CAN HIT HIGHER NOTES, WITH OUT YELLIN OR STRAINING!!!

  • Beyonce just better, end of story
