A belting showdown between the arguably overrated 'The Total Package' Beyonce Knowles and the underrated R'n'B vocalist Tamia Hill. DONT BE BIAS, think about the ease, phrasing, clarity, tone, strength and resonance of the belts, who is the winner?

Notes spanning:
B4-C5-C#5-D5-Eb5-F5-F#5-G5-G#5

  • I think both are perfectly good, but Beyonce adds too much vibrato and her notes aren't so clean, they are too metallic in a way

    omg, the note in Say My Name was a G? already back then in that song? shoot lol

  • @KitsuneMale It goes 'Say My NAAAME' (F#5) 'OOohooh' (G5)

  • What song is that at 7:30? I looove that G5 from Bey, it's very mixed, but beautiful

  • @Slaychelle /watch?v=Ram_i8d81zg

  • I can safely say, Tamia wins

  • @Angelfully You're the first unbiased person on this video since ages :)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • tamia wins

  • I LOVE THEM BOTH but TAMiA can SANGGGGGG!!! TAMiA GOT THiS ONE,,,

  • 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

  • Whoa, Of course Tamia won.. Tamia is a way better singer.. I love beyonce but Tamia been the best Hands down.. Underrated ! But the BEST!
