You can't ask for people unbiased opinion while calling Beyoncé "overrated". And on every Beyoncé-favorable comment you just push her down and try to convince others that Tamia is better. LOL That's not how it's done, just a hint.
I Can Say Beyonce Won. She Keeps All Her Tone All The Way To The End If Her Chest Notes. So Much Resonance. Her Comfort Zone Is Undouptly Endless Her Tecnique Allows Her To Be Comfortable With What Ever She Hits
This was a very close one. Dang...and what makes it tougher is that both of them can sing even better live, so the studio is actually suppressing their real vocals.
I have to add that their different vocal types possess strength in certain areas. Beyonce is becoming more of a dramatic mezzo and she excels from C5 - F#5. Tamia is a full soprano. Tamia takes on the upper belts, admittedly, better than B. Beyonce still remains solid and consistent, but Tamia completely shines pass E5.
@sentfromupabove oh ok thank y'all. haha normally i would've just typed in the time when it happesn but my computer was being spaztic that day & not fast forwarding
Beyonce-greater lower register and head voice. Theyre evenly matched belting up until F#5 then Tamias greater ease with upper register belting allows her to retain more power, resonance and tone for her G5/G#5's. Beyonce has a far wider range of colours to her voice that she can employ, superior volume control, rhythmic phrasing and just an overall greater sense of musicianship that allow her to give great interpretations to a variety of genres. Tamias not convincing outside of slow/mid tempos.
i have to put my vote in for Tamia, she's one of the only non-spinto sapranos i can stand to listen to. She's got amazing pitch. Beyonce's an top mezzo-saprano and her vocal choices are mind boggling.
@sentfromupabove bey 'can' get shouty live.. But that doesn't mean she is shouty. Plus she has executed many E5 and F5a that aren't shouty. But she keeps resonance all the way through her belting register and untill she hits G5 her tone stays consistant too.
@Dam112 Bey loses QUALITY from Eb5 and up her belts can tend to sound either pushed or shouty. Tamia here never loses her ease and quality, that's why I prefer her belts.
@sentfromupabove How does Bey loose quality above Eb5? Her belts are free, perfectly placed and keep true resonance... Tamia has all those qualities with some more ease, but doesnt execute them any better than Bey.
@Dam112 She does just listen to the rough sound it sounds out of her comfort range 4:26 her voice does tend to thin the higher she gets as it isnt in her comfort range.
@sentfromupabove Her comfort range without a doubt reaches F5, there is no 'rough' sound or a pushed or strained sound in her belts before F5 apart from when she consiously adds texture/colour to them by growling (to many different degree) to growling a F#5 like shown or adding a almost gravelly immiatation in Love On Top.
If 4:26 is an example of Bey 'thinning' then Tami does just at 4:59
@sentfromupabove Now live she can have those points you made, but no othe vocalist to my knowledge hit the notes, control the technique, melismas, pitch and has such breath support whilst performing to the degree she does. Trying to exxagerate those points about her voice to justify why people think shes not as good, isnt a un'biased opinion.
I dont see how people are commenting saying Bey 'thins' around Eb5?.. Their tones are quite similar but Beys is slightly heavier. Her E5 is full, resonant with great vibrato, where as Tamia (who I think is great) is actually a little nasal in comparison.
I still stick to a tie - LOVE both their F#5s! But there is no tie after that, Tami Takes G5/G#5
@Dam112 its just the Tamia Stans that finally have a video to comment on.Tamia is good singer, but she def isn't better than Beyonce, nor is she as technical as Beyonce....
@swacman04 No Tamia is not better than Bey, its either peoples love for Bey that makes them choose her or peoples dislike for Bey that makes them choose Tamia, because shes ''overrated''. Pure rubbish.
They are both great vocalists, each with their strengths.
Bey: far superior lower register and much more connected/agile headvoice
Tamia: Much more ase on the upper belts and without a doubt take G5&G#5
Tie: Each take take different notes but its a tie from C5-F#5
@sentfromupabove haha i remember finding that CD in my room and it had been about 6 years since i listened to it and i was excited to listen to amazing grace because i expected it to be beautiful and heartfelt but....no
I think they have quite similar tones and both keep resonance. Tamia has the obvious ease which shows in her sustained notes all the way through her belting range & with vibrato. But Bey can do more with her voice (6:40 for example) whilst keeping that same strength plus she holds her vibrato too. So yeah very well matched IMO :) nice vid
Beyonce simply can't handle Tamia vocally, she is vocally pure. She probably is underrated because she has standards, something that is under appreciated these days hence she will not sale like Beyonce.
It is always funny people praising Beyonce's belts, I think her tone sounds very thin on belts (not as thin as Jhud but still not as strong as a Mariah or Whitney) and arn't that powerful.
I have never thought of bey to be "shouty" Il admit i think she can a bit..However she never thins out in terms of like xtina, jhud, who sound incredibly thin up there. Tamia is a beast though. Sickly underrated. I need to check her out.
Beyoncé's end Eb5 on "Forever To Bleed" slays everything, I didn't know this girl Tamia, her voice is kind of whiny. Anyway, the voice of the generation is clearly better.
@HUGOM2C Tamia's voice is whiny? lol Beyonce's tone is much more thin than hers and Beyonce's belts are superior after Eb5 she loses tonal quality, ease, she badly mixes or shouts.
Beyonce badly mixes. You really are not talking sense there. Beyonces F5/F#5's are far more supported than Tamias, Tamias are much more nasal and are more heady. Beyonces are placed in the head yes but actual mixing is done more by Tamia. Beyonces are far more chesty. I also find Beyonces upper belting tone much more pleasant than Tamias. Plus Tamia could does not have the technique beyonce has and she would not have the vocal stamina that beyonce has
@hello07601 Beyonce mixes you can tell by her G5s as they are heady and weak as fuck :P Beyonce mixes well up to Eb5, her notes above Eb can get shouty at times even the overrated F#5 from Start Over sounds shouty. Her belts' tone may be pleasant to you but its shouty above Eb5. Tamia's undeniably more chesty 6:12 compare that to Beyonces weak F5's at 6:05 and Tamia can phrase in a G5 7:41, which Bey could never do, she clearly has more stamina also she can sustain longer 2:343:32.
@sentfromupabove Beyonce does mix, but it's an even mix. Her belts aren't weak either. They may sound "shouty" to you, but they are still resonant and well supported. Beyonce can phrase on an F# so I'm sure she can phrase on a G5 lol. Tamia has a lighter voice than Beyonce. Beyonce is a Mezzo, and I think Tamia is a soprano. Of course she's going to have more ease in the upper belts. :P
@stardusth2o Be real lol I like her but her placement can get throaty at times and her G5's are a head driven mix. Bey didnt phrase in an F#5 note before, she hit them multiple times in intervals granted, the highest she phrased are the F5's in Green Light but they don't have much resonance whereas Tamia phrased in F5 straight after in the video she sustained & sounded more powerful. And she literally sang a whole phrase in G5, Bey cant lol she hasnt even sustained above F5 before.
@ablackguy123456789 yeah like how desperate can you get? whether they agree that xtina's the best of this generation or not, it's her title and they can't change that so they might as well get over it.
@taquasia2468 they've been doing this for a year now. they're all over the place talkin bout "beyonce is the REAL voice of this generation" & i'm like "...not even close but stay failing ^_^ "
@ablackguy123456789 what titel bey albums sell more, she wins more gammys, makes more money, sells more tour tickets, is better looking, and has people tribute her ,whats there to be pressed about again
@damskooo sells more? not w/o counting destiny's child sales :/ wins more grammys? yeah that's cuz her dad is on the grammy committee. better looking? that's debatable. who has tributed bey?
@stardusth2o well there's a difference between having an actual tribute for yourself(see britney tribute @ the vmas) & having a video of people praising you.
i don't understand why there are so many hateful comments towards beyonce. she's commercially overrated but i don't think she gets enough praise for her singing. is she a legend like mariah? no. but she's still great. and i personally loved some of her G5s in this video. 7:17, 7:32, 7:35, and 7:50 were beautiful and not shouty at all.
i know this is random but i am so mad that tamia's "make tonight beautiful" is nowhere to be found for download! i WANT THAT SONG ON MY IPOD!!!!! it's her best song in my opinion <3 <3
I think they are pretty even in general until about F#5 (even though Beyonce is still on it on that note, Tamia was just better at it). However beyond that is not for Beyonce. Plus I wouldn't call Tamia underrated, just really unknown, still bad, but no one denies her talent.
I don't know why people keep saying Beyonce gets thin and shouty above Eb5. Certainly from E5 and above, Tamia has greater ease, but resonance-wise, Beyonce can match her up to F#5. The only belts Beyonce truly sounds thin and/or shouty on are G5 (and not all the time) and G#5 because those are out of her comfort zone.
I would never want Bey to belt above F#5, I know her comfort zone is something like F3-F5...whereas Tamia's is G3-G5. But I prefer Bey over Tamia. 5 years ago, I wouldn't have said that.
@FemaleVocalLover1975 Yeah btw if you listen to her concert in 2010 she sustains the F5 in Stranger In My House and does a full C5/C#5 she slays still :P
Oh that's true(she slays still :P) she keeps her tone better than Bey does, on higher belted notes, even on Bey's signature belted note, I guess I prefer Bey at that note because more of how she arranges and phrases rather than just her tone.
@qa3bool im not lol i actually knew Beyonce before and im a fan but then I found out about Tamia and shes unbiasedly better for me.. I'm just honest :P
>_< this video is comparing 2 different voice types. Beyonce is a mezzo-saprano and Tamia is a Saprano. Since belting has a lot to do with using notes you don't have to strain to hit when not belting Tamia having a higher comfortable range means her belts will always end up being better in her higher range compared to Beyonce in her higher range. Besides Tamia has like really insanely good pitch, her technique is almost classical quality, and she knows her voice really well.
1. Beyonce is a good dancer, when she is possessed by sasha fierce. 2. People make out she is amazing when she is just ok and good at best 3. She is known for stealing songs and copying other people's dancing/video techniques 4. You become a legend by working hard, what does beyonce do? Sings Telephone with Gaga dressed like a skank and promotes a song called DIVA? ha ha you do not call yourself one....you become one. She praises Mariah yet never did a duet with her, but does one with gaga? wtf
By the way is Tamia's highest belted note a G#5? She sounds like she could belt MUCH higher. Maybe up to a C6 from what I can imagine. Beyonce I can only picture belting up to an A5
tamia on every note. bey could maybe put up a fight in the midbelt but her vibrato is so overdone and annoying. let's not get started on the upperbelt. bey sounds like she's scolding a child above Eb5
Although it's close on some notes. Beyonce has a much brighter resonant belt and i feel she has more of a punch and much better vibrato. And overall as a vocallist Beyonce definitely wins IMO she has a more consistent voice throughtout her entire range. She is never ever off in a live performance. Her phrasing, diction and musicianship are all better IMO. And she has a better lower range and head voice. Her technique is flawless whereas the same cannot be said for Tamia completely.
@hello07601 Tamia's head voice is actually great she has done up to D6 before and for a soprano her lows are brilliant but yes Beyonce's are thicker and better. In belts I'd say they are pretty equal but Tamia has more ease and a thicker resonance. Beyonce tends to shout Eb5+ and her mix at G5 notes gets too heady.
@sentfromupabove Beyonce does not shout Eb5 at all. She has one of the greatest blends of her generation and her production and quality on F5 F#5 is among the greats plus she can produce consistent sustained vibrato up there and she is never off she can hit them notes every single time she never has to dodge them. If she shouted sometimes her voice wouldnt miss those kind of notes. I wouldnt say Tamia has 'thicker resonance' she has a more cloudy tone but beys more resonant
@hello07601 Tamia is more resonant listen to all her belts here they are better quality and definitely thick and all supported with vibrato. Beyonce loses tonal quality above Eb5 gets thin, shouty and kinda nasal/unpleasant.
From B4 to F5 is Bee the winner, F#5 tie and from G5 Tamia wins..However I'm sure that in the lowe register Beyoncé could kill Tamia so badly..and head voice too..And please hater stop sayng you don't like her tone..We don't care about it....
@GCassa94 B4-F5 listen carefully lol.. Tamia takes the F5, Eb5 and C5. And lol I'm not a hater I really like Beyonce but her tone can get nasal you know I can criticise singers I like. Also F#5 Tamia has much stronger ones Beyonce tends to shout from Eb5+.
@sentfromupabove Well after re-watching the video I'd say she beat her on C5 and Eb5 but not "slayed" her. I still stand by my statement that Beyonce took F5 though
@Stefano94x Indeed, she has all sorts of recognition and praise for her music and performance abilities, however vocally she is very underrated because she's a "pop-star"
@mAnNyElLaTiNo33 Beyonce isn't underrated. She has lots of stans to overrate her and please call underrated someone who doesn't have 16 Grammy Awards (out of a ridiculous amount of 44 nominations) and who doesn't get as much promotion as Beyonce gets. That being said, if people don't find her singing impressive, then put the blame on her image and the way she is marketed. There are many ''pop stars'' who get credit for being good singers such as Mariah, Leona, Whitney, Kelly...
@Luxiusta07 i agree with you. she ain't underrated at all#1 her stans hype her up like there's no tomorrow(they've even compared her to ARETHA FRANKLIN lol) #2 she has all those grammys, few of which she actually deserves #3 her tone is average and her technique is good but let's be honest if it was THAT good she'd damn sure be able to belt above Eb5 without shouting. even 2nd tear r&b singers like tamia snatch her wig so let's not even mention the trinity...lol
@mariahforever1990 She is the most promoted female singer of the past decade for sure. Her albums are being constantly re-released and promoted again and again like there is no end. I actually find it laughable that Mariah has only 5 Grammy awards when she is better in singing than Beyonce and a REAL songwriter (who also has way more commercial AND critical success than Bey). It shouldn't be a surprise though since Matthew Knowles is member of the Grammies Committee. Ooopsie.
@Luxiusta07 i'll admit i loved the b'day deluxe edition but since then she's made a habit out of it and it's annoying as hell! one month sasha fierce is released, next month it's re-released with 5 bonus tracks(only 2 of them were good), then they release it again with even more mediocre bonus tracks in 2010!! it's too much! lol bey's grammys are such a joke. anyone can win like 16 grammys with their dad on the committee XD fuckin cheaters! and her stans have the nerve to brag
@Luxiusta07 yes mariah is way more talented than bey and she's a REAL artist not a fake one who just writes her name on everything. i bet bey would claim she wrote the Bible if she knew for sure that she would get away with it. i'm surprised she hasn't tried it already. if mariah has only 5 grammys then bey really should't have ANY but since her daddy is on the grammy committee...
@sentfromupabove same here. she has catchy songs and she's very talented but comparing her to legends like mariah and whitney is just silly. hell she even pales in comparison to celine dion who gets a lot of flack from bey stans. all i can say is that bey's lucky she can dance because that bland voice would get her nowhere in the music biz. oh that's right her dad would've kept her relevant regardless XD
@mariahforever1990 omg i agree with all of that! especially the last part! bey can barely compete with relatively unpopular r&b singers like deborah cox, faith evans, jennifer hudson, and kelly price and as we see here, even tamia slays her so the thought of bey's stans trying to put her on mariah & whitney's level is just crazy! i hope the 2 highest rated comments will help them realize where their fav really stands
@misses18yearold haha it's funny because if you watch any of those women's videos there's sooooooo much beyonce shade XD it's actually annoying how they randomly bring bey's name up just to bash her but you can't help but agree with their comments :/ like i said, bey would be nowhere without her dance moves and/or her dad...
@mariahforever1990 lol tell me about it i was like "y'all be sippin too much haterade tbh" but deep down i knew they were right. as IF i didn't have enough disrespect for beyonce to begin with, @Luxiusta07 told me that her dad was part of the grammy committee which makes her 16 grammys a total bitch please moment. like it takes so much work and determination to win a grammy with your dad on the grammy committee? lol ok then...
@misses18yearold haha i'm surprised you didn't know that about bey's dad. it's like common knowledge. then again it would be hard to believe that her stans would brag so much about those grammys knowing that they're basically handed down to her.
@mariahforever1990 well i knew there was some kinda shady business behind her having all those grammys because an artist as mediocre as her should not be tied with michael jackson in solo grammys. i guess if i had done a little bit of research i would've found the reason XD her stans are truly shameless bragging about that. her dad shouldn't even be on the grammy committee isn't that a conflict of interest??
@misses18yearold that's what i thought like her dad is on the grammy committee and giving her all these damn awards like how is that ok?? so unfair. mariah and christina have 5 and whitney has 6 but beyonce has 13?? that's ridiculous
@mariahforever1990 yeah that should be against the rules. speaking of bey getting undeserved praise did you know her song "crazy in love" was voted the #1 song of the 2000s? i thought i was dreaming when i first heard that lol
@misses18yearold seriously?? who even remembers that song besides her stans?? that song was obviously a hit when it first came out but since then it was forgotten. if any bey song would be #1 it would be single ladies or irreplaceable XD wowwwwwwww

Beyoncé's end Eb5 on "Forever To Bleed" slays everything, I didn't know this girl Tamia, her voice is kind of whiny. Anyway, the voice of the generation is clearly better.

@HUGOM2C Tamia's voice is whiny? lol Beyonce's tone is much more thin than hers and Beyonce's belts are superior after Eb5 she loses tonal quality, ease, she badly mixes or shouts.

Beyonce badly mixes. You really are not talking sense there. Beyonces F5/F#5's are far more supported than Tamias, Tamias are much more nasal and are more heady. Beyonces are placed in the head yes but actual mixing is done more by Tamia. Beyonces are far more chesty. I also find Beyonces upper belting tone much more pleasant than Tamias. Plus Tamia could does not have the technique beyonce has and she would not have the vocal stamina that beyonce has
hello07601 1 month ago
@hello07601 Beyonce mixes you can tell by her G5s as they are heady and weak as fuck :P Beyonce mixes well up to Eb5, her notes above Eb can get shouty at times even the overrated F#5 from Start Over sounds shouty. Her belts' tone may be pleasant to you but its shouty above Eb5. Tamia's undeniably more chesty 6:12 compare that to Beyonces weak F5's at 6:05 and Tamia can phrase in a G5 7:41, which Bey could never do, she clearly has more stamina also she can sustain longer 2:34 3:32.

ablackguy123456789 1 month ago
@sentfromupabove Beyonce does mix, but it's an even mix. Her belts aren't weak either. They may sound "shouty" to you, but they are still resonant and well supported. Beyonce can phrase on an F# so I'm sure she can phrase on a G5 lol. Tamia has a lighter voice than Beyonce. Beyonce is a Mezzo, and I think Tamia is a soprano. Of course she's going to have more ease in the upper belts. :P
stardusth2o 1 month ago
@stardusth2o Be real lol I like her but her placement can get throaty at times and her G5's are a head driven mix. Bey didnt phrase in an F#5 note before, she hit them multiple times in intervals granted, the highest she phrased are the F5's in Green Light but they don't have much resonance whereas Tamia phrased in F5 straight after in the video she sustained & sounded more powerful. And she literally sang a whole phrase in G5, Bey cant lol she hasnt even sustained above F5 before.

Precisely@ Beyonce is a Mezzo, and I think Tamia is a soprano. Of course she's going to have more ease in the upper belts.
And throaty at F5? That's her signature belted note....I can't believe what I am hearing.

Beyonce: C#5, E5, F5
Tamia: C5, F#5, G5, G#5
Tie: B4, D5, Eb5
I think they are pretty even in general until about F#5 (even though Beyonce is still on it on that note, Tamia was just better at it). However beyond that is not for Beyonce. Plus I wouldn't call Tamia underrated, just really unknown, still bad, but no one denies her talent.

I don't know why people keep saying Beyonce gets thin and shouty above Eb5. Certainly from E5 and above, Tamia has greater ease, but resonance-wise, Beyonce can match her up to F#5. The only belts Beyonce truly sounds thin and/or shouty on are G5 (and not all the time) and G#5 because those are out of her comfort zone.
Devotedlamb19 1 month ago
I would never want Bey to belt above F#5, I know her comfort zone is something like F3-F5...whereas Tamia's is G3-G5. But I prefer Bey over Tamia. 5 years ago, I wouldn't have said that.

Oh that's true(she slays still :P) she keeps her tone better than Bey does, on higher belted notes, even on Bey's signature belted note, I guess I prefer Bey at that note because more of how she arranges and phrases rather than just her tone.

This has been flagged as spam show
>_< this video is comparing 2 different voice types. Beyonce is a mezzo-saprano and Tamia is a Saprano. Since belting has a lot to do with using notes you don't have to strain to hit when not belting Tamia having a higher comfortable range means her belts will always end up being better in her higher range compared to Beyonce in her higher range. Besides Tamia has like really insanely good pitch, her technique is almost classical quality, and she knows her voice really well.

She is known for stealing songs and copying other people's dancing/video techniques 4. You become a legend by working hard, what does beyonce do? Sings Telephone with Gaga dressed like a skank and promotes a song called DIVA? ha ha you do not call yourself one....you become one. She praises Mariah yet never did a duet with her, but does one with gaga? wtf

mrsmikell10 1 month ago
Although it's close on some notes. Beyonce has a much brighter resonant belt and i feel she has more of a punch and much better vibrato. And overall as a vocallist Beyonce definitely wins IMO she has a more consistent voice throughtout her entire range. She is never ever off in a live performance. Her phrasing, diction and musicianship are all better IMO. And she has a better lower range and head voice. Her technique is flawless whereas the same cannot be said for Tamia completely.
hello07601 1 month ago
@hello07601 Tamia's head voice is actually great she has done up to D6 before and for a soprano her lows are brilliant but yes Beyonce's are thicker and better. In belts I'd say they are pretty equal but Tamia has more ease and a thicker resonance. Beyonce tends to shout Eb5+ and her mix at G5 notes gets too heady.
sentfromupabove 1 month ago
@sentfromupabove Beyonce does not shout Eb5 at all. She has one of the greatest blends of her generation and her production and quality on F5 F#5 is among the greats plus she can produce consistent sustained vibrato up there and she is never off she can hit them notes every single time she never has to dodge them. If she shouted sometimes her voice wouldnt miss those kind of notes. I wouldnt say Tamia has 'thicker resonance' she has a more cloudy tone but beys more resonant
hello07601 1 month ago
@hello07601 Tamia is more resonant listen to all her belts here they are better quality and definitely thick and all supported with vibrato. Beyonce loses tonal quality above Eb5 gets thin, shouty and kinda nasal/unpleasant.

From B4 to F5 is Bee the winner, F#5 tie and from G5 Tamia wins..However I'm sure that in the lowe register Beyoncé could kill Tamia so badly..and head voice too..And please hater stop sayng you don't like her tone..We don't care about it....

That being said, if people don't find her singing impressive, then put the blame on her image and the way she is marketed.

@mariahforever1990 She is the most promoted female singer of the past decade for sure. Her albums are being constantly re-released and promoted again and again like there is no end. I actually find it laughable that Mariah has only 5 Grammy awards when she is better in singing than Beyonce and a REAL songwriter (who also has way more commercial AND critical success than Bey). It shouldn't be a surprise though since Matthew Knowles is member of the Grammies Committee. Ooopsie.
