It’s actually really sad to me. I’m the biggest Whitney fan, but I would never discredit Beyonce’s talent. I don’t understand why fans of either have to say ridiculous and untruthful things just to make a point. We all have favorites for different reasons. If you don’t agree with someone, just keep scrolling. It’s not that difficult.
Lashun pace, Twinkie Clark, Karen Clark sheard, and Vanessa bell Armstrong would be great competition for Whitney And for Beyonce it would be cool to see her go up against Kierra sheard
Beyoncé is VERY underrated as a vocalist. Whitney is the voice and she always will be but the fact that Beyoncé can hold her own and she’s able to hit the same notes in different styles…. She’s a BEAST. Whitney is the queen of sustaining the notes and that vibrato!!!! Beyoncé is the queen of vocal versatility!!! Even her vibrato is versatile!! People can downplay Beyoncé all they want and try to make the reverb excuse (when every vocalist including Whitney uses it) Beyoncé is one of the best vocalist of all time.
@@bestvocalsbyvocalists849 she is underrated. Most people actually give her kore credit for her performance ability than vocal ability. And she is not taken as seriously as other major vocalist so yeah the initial statement still stands.
Whitney’s voice gives me goosebumps every single time. That’s how I am judging this. Yes they can hit the same notes technically, but to me Whitney’s tone and delivery just hit different. Her tone is absolutely golden. They are both incredible vocalists, but I literally feel everything that Whitney sings. I always have and always will.
Yes I agree...I feel Whitney's heart and soul and her tone sounds like velvet...the notes never mattered much to me....it's about touching one's soul through music.
I agree and I’m the biggest fan of both! It’s like Fantasia and Jennifer both can blow but Fantasia touches your soul just like Whitney! I just want people to stop playing Beyoncé this is evidence that she can sing💯‼️💯‼️💯‼️
Im not saying Beyonce better than Whitney however Bey can def hold her own... Beyonce is a vocalist as well. Ppl tend to forget shes basically MOVING THEE WHOLE CONCERT!! Thats all imma say lhh .... But Whitney of course is THEE VOICE.
Now y’all need to stop being delusional. Y’all honestly think Beyoncé can hold a candle to Whitney. A fucking insult. Beyoncé singing ain’t never gave me chills. I get chills anytime I hear Whitney. Anyone who reacts to Whitney says the same thing. She doesn’t even try. It comes natural. Beyoncé gives her all and it still come up short compared to Whitney. Beyoncé screams a lot too. Whitney voice is anointed and powerful at the same time. Her tone is unmatched.
I'll say this Whitney will always and forever be the voice that's that. BUT this video proves beyoncé can definitely hold her own I mean they were neck and neck and even sounded very similar sometimes. Also this just shows how Versatile beyonce is and how talented she is this lady gave one of the best vocal Renditions of the star spangled banner, then came back a few years later and gave one of the best Halftime shows ever. This woman is literally The embodiment Of all the greats that came before her / Tina , MJ prince and Whitney. She has the crazy amazing vocals stage presents great dancer and in the top 2 of the greatest entertainers of all time and in a lot of people eyes she is the greatest entertainer of all time, she can give you a crazy amazing vocal only performance ,and then turn around and give you a crazy amazing entertaining performance with visuals African dance and vocals, she's really a once in a lifetime artist who truly deserves her flowers while she is here.
Delusional. Beyoncé not even in the top 50 of greatest voices ever. Whitney is on that list and up high. Beyoncé screams and literally no feeling behind her singing.
@@carriel9954 lol can't even argue with this comment 😆😂🤣 and you calling me delusional okay have a nice day you're hilarious I'm sure majority of the comments agrees with me that you are crazy.
@@carriel9954 now u must be smoking some of the strongest meth in the universe. Beyoncé is a flat foot sanger & dances at the same time with out compromising either to accommodate the other. Give the women her respect.
@@Blueridge4000 Carrie may have taken it too far but some of these statements are ridiculous. You all are saying Beyoncé is on par vocally with Whitney, Whitney Houston???? That’s crazy. Bey is an amazing performer and vocalist but she would have a problem with some of her own peers like Jennifer Hudson or KeKe Wyatt before you all are putting her up there with the greatest of all time
@@thabigcohuna well she held her own on stage with JHud that was proven. I’m not sure why people have to compare. Technically as a singer myself Beyoncé is a certified vocalist. Period & yes vocal placement, volume control, breathe control, runs, lower, middle & high notes are there. She is certified. She’s totally in the top of some of the best to do it. Her consistency is literally unmatched.
Whitneys voice carries more power and resonance. Yes they are hitting the same notes/keys, but the clarity of Whitneys voice gives them full life. Her voice is just anointed. Hands down...But Beyonce holds her own.
Exactly, he kept trying to put into words what the distinction/power in the voice was even though they were hitting the same notes....anointed. That is why Whitney's voice would "pierce" right into you and not just bounce off as a pretty polished sound.
@@WElppp for me personally Whitney is better, but she couldn't take care of her voice... So the result is she lost her golden voice... While Beyonce wow she maintains her voice, now it's deeper richer better than before
@@aaronnewman7573 nah u know lashun pace would destroy Whitney Houston She’s completely in a different ball park than Whitney. To me it sounds like you know this already. Don’t make pointless arguments. Lashun has to many weapons at her disposal vocally that Whitney doesn’t have. Whitney Houston is outmatched against lashun pace and u know this so please stop
I’d give the first two C#5’s (though the second one being a tie is also valid) and the 4th and 5th C6’s to Whitney. With that being said, Beyoncé can definitely compete with the greats.
This just shows that Beyoncé and Whitney are around the same level vocally but there are people out there who act like Beyoncé is an amateur compared to her.
This clip for me shows that it’s just a matter of preference and respect because literally they did the same notes in almost the same tone I feel like they can still have Whitney with her title and still respect what beyonce can do with her voice instead of downplaying it
I agree. But I see too many people dissing Beyonce as someone who is overrated and not able to sing. When you start to delve into her catalog and live performances, she blows me away with both her vocal range, control, and agility. I will say I've never heard anyone do some of the things Beyonce does with her voice. I love Whitney, and she will always be a favorite.
They are both legendary, but Whitney’s voice gives me goosebumps, while Bey’s does not. Whitney had the tone, pure power, and emotion. Bey has the agility, and vocal creativity.
I think for me Whitney gives me goosebumps and I think beyobce gives you a shock factor. Like when you hear her love on top it's just a crazy amount of sheer power that is just simply hard to sing
First and foremost. . . Whitney is one of the best vocalists to EVER grace this earth.... but my GOD, yall need to start giving Bey her damn flowers. Because, almost all of hers were live performances.... which means she was DANCING HER ASS OFF during these vocals in many parts. Like COME ON, Beyonce can do it all. And in addition, she was pregnant during some of these and dancing in 6+ inch heels for some. She's the GOAT.... plus, her vocal control is out of this world. Like, actually though. Her use of Messa Di Voce is UNTOUCHED. And Bey can go like 2 more octaves down than this video showed as well. COME TF ON!!!! I love Whitney, and she was THE VOICE, but yall better start showing that love to Bey. She's so underrated when it comes to her vocal abilities.
When it comes down to volume control, Whitney just >>> Wider spectrum of volumes … And Whitney was just capable even of staccatissimi … More connectedness and evenness of sound. Whitney was a hell of vocal technician. Just saying. And we need ro showcase the different vocal feats. Mancando, esclamazione piu viva , esclamazione lánguida , staccatissimo ( pianissimo , mezzo forte ) , staccati ( different volumes as well ), … you don’t see anything of that from Whitney on this video. 🤷♂️ By the way, some of her best moments are not here. Also, old audios.
@@fzpe856 Beyoncé is also is a hell of a vocal technician, and she also has way better videos of her hitting these notes they didn’t use either one of there best. all Beyoncé notes are like from 2016 and down she’s gotta way better she hasn’t even hit her prime yet, we don’t know what her prime will be cause she keeps getting better. not saying she’s better then THE VOICE, but she definitely is on the same level I wouldn’t look at somebody crazy if they said Beyoncé is better and Vice versa
@@Outside4 She is not getting better and not on the same level. Don’t get me wrong, she is better than most of the ladies of her era, but on the same level she is not. Always release the air though. fb.watch/v/a06MlZX3w/ Whitney’s sound has more depth and core than Beyoncé’s. I don’t care if she has 5 octaves. It is totally irrelevant.
Whitney will forever be the voice but keep it mind that Beyoncé whole range wasn’t used in this clip. She can go till F6 while Whitney can’t. I feel like Whitney and Barbra are Beyoncé’s inspiration vocally. Great video
Whitney's tone and versatility, hands down. Beyonce can sing but Whitney just touches you down in your soul. I can remember leaving the radio on while sleeping and Whitney would wake me up with a smile. There is none to compare her with. She is the voice
Whitney is the g.o.a.t... BUT this video absolutely proves that Beyonce is in league with the legends. The surprise isn't that Whitney won, but rather *how close it was*.... Beyonce is always called "over-rated" meanwhile Adele and similar artists get consistently rated as good. People need to just come out and say that they have a bias against Beyonce's black-centric, urban "r&b" oversinging because her vocal proficiency is at the top of the league.
Anybody can do what Beyoncé can do, but nobody has came into the music industry Abdul floored the world the way Whitney did. Beyoncé is not in Whitney’s league, she does sit at that table.
@@The_Truth- Beyonce has a 4 octave range. She can sing deeper than most contraltos and higher than most sopranos. Her agility is one of the best and more than anything she is nearly the most consistent live singer in our generation. Beyonce isn’t Whitney, but I feel there’s just something about Beyonce that makes people refuse to admit that she’s vocally way at the top of the pack. Saying anyone can duplicate Beyonce is just ridiculous. Beyonce is, as this video reveals, closer to Whitney than probably any singer right now, and like I said, Whitney won the comparison but the surprise was how close Beyonce is and the fact that it needs to be side by side for people to see it.
@@Sloppyjoey1 because Beyoncé is not at the top of the pack when it comes to legendary singers. Tone alone Whitney takes the cake, Whitney’s debut floored the world, Beyoncé debut nothing to write home about. One sung flat footed fully clothed, the other bent over for the world to see. When you have a voice like Whitney’s why would you need to dance or be in a group?
@@The_Truth- Whitney was successful but to say she “floored the world at debut” is ridiculous. Whitney was even being boo’d and unappreciated by the black community for a long period of time before she was known as “the voice”. Whitney didn’t “floor the world” until her body guard era. It’s true that Whitney was always good but give me a break, she was criticized for sounding too white and was originally a pop artist. I do not care if Beyonce wasn’t originally as good. I give Beyonce credit for her enormous growth as a singer. People seem desperate to hold her old music and performance ability against her as a singer. The truth is, Beyonce became an exceptional singer. Nobody here is saying she’s a legend, the point is that Beyonce is a technically strong singer to the point that we can actually take her vocals and compare them seriously against a legend like Whitney. This video showed pure slayage on all sides… I pick Whitney… we all did… but the fact that you sit here and talk like this is a battle between a Legend and someone that “anyone can do what they do” is giving me hater energy. Bey and Whitney were straight up eating these vocals for 20 minutes, no need to be negative or hate.
YES SIR ! NOW THATS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT ! It’s crazy how similar they actually are vocally ! TWO VOCAL MUGULS AND POWERHOUSE !! LEGENDS! THE TALENT UHHH
Whitney. Hands down! Singing is a lot of things rolled into one. Whitney's sound is fuller, fatter and has way more bass in her tone. It is an OPEN sound. Beyonce doesn't have that. Whitney gives me goosebumps every time. I've never gotten goosebumps from Beyonce's voice. I mean...didn't they both sing the national anthem? Whitney's anthem has gone down in history. I don't find this a close competition at all frankly. Beyonce can sing. No doubt BUT I think the difference in sound qualities is obvious. I also think that if the 2 were singing live together, the difference would be clear. Whitney's sound is better.
@@ThatSingerReactions I NEVER said anywhere she didn't. I said Whitney's sound is fatter and fuller. I also said Beyonce can sing. I never said anything to downplay her. Comparing the 2...since that's what was happening. Taking it to Church.... Come on now. Whitney all the way. I never said anywhere that Bey wouldn't be able to keep up. She'd be fine. I stand by what I said. Whitney's sound is something else entirely. Singing isn't just notes and riffs and technique. Whitney had that "something else". I also stand by this...Whitney's voice and feeling in her delivery gives me goosebumps every time. I don't get that from Bey.
Whitney’s musical catalog was based on HOPEFUL Anthems in music messages. If Beyoncé made hopeful Anthems. You would feel it the same way. It’s the musical messaging ❤️
Many try to lower Beyoncé as a singer, especially the fans of the great divas of the past, saying that Beyoncé is not at their level, but Beyoncé is, she is skillful, she has great control of her voice, she has style, versatility, she interprets. and transmits emotions when singing, the only thing different is that those divas stood out in having wide ranges or beautiful tones of voice, many of them are sopranos, but these kinds of qualities do not require talent, training or artistic sensitivity, the voice is determined by your anatomy, it's something biological, you don't choose your voice, you choose how to use it.
Chest voice Whitney was unmatched. She didnt need to scream to belt out her notes. When it comes to Lows Beyoncé has it hands down. But head voice they are both incredible. Even match if you will. Whitney has more of flex when I comes to improvising because she grew up in the church. Bey can sing and dance. But for the most part when they belt it’s simply resonance not excess screaming. Bey is more agile for sure and Whitney had more of the power. So Vocally Whitney was 99% and Beyoncé is 95%
Am sorry but Whitney's Houston voice out shine all them new generation Stars period .she gives me goosebumps everything I hear her voice.Beyonce does not give me that feeling.........Whitney had that something xtra Special she sing for God
The reason why people like beyonce is , cause she worships satan, do your research before you comment. Whitney didn't worship satan , Whitney was popular , by the blessings of Jehovah god and Jesus.
Yes please for all my ones with a good ear for musicality can agree that beyonce’s vibrato is top 10 in the game of all time dead or alive & I said what I said💯
I was saying the exact same thing. She had echo effects on it as well. All of that give her bigger, rounder sound. I love Beyonce, but to be honest, the mic isn't dry.
Oh and also Beyoncé has crazy crazy lows that Whitney doesn’t have!!! Like in “other side” a song from the gift album. However I absolutely adore Whitney! Everything you said in this video is true! It’s down to what you prefer.
There's a clear distinction between an anointed powerful voice **** and a beautiful technical/skillful voice. The anointed power in addition to skill and technique coming out of Whitney's voice is what makes an unmatched difference. Aretha's (Queen of Soul) voice was also anointed (with power). Both equally skilled singers, yes - but the 'anointed gift' on a voice is what makes the difference.
Your logic makes no sense at all that's way to subjective how can you say someone's voice is or isn't anointed like you are the most high and gave them their gift that's not even something you can argue.
@@Scorpion-dn8ju Yes, it absolutely makes no sense to you because you are carnal minded and do not understand spiritual things🤔 Whitney was playing gospel music backstage ALWAYS before every concert. Most of the great black divas came out of the church choir. She understood she was given a POWERFUL gift, and her purpose, even though she did not take care of her instrument. You simply don't understand an anointing...but that's okay - a carnal mind never will.
@@squarcircle2254 I think it's clear she was appointed a gift to sing. When God gives you a gift - you may be using/operating in it even while sometimes living in sin. Roman's 11:29 says "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance." Also, if you have God's anointing in you it surely can have an impact on your singing. These two Bible verses read 1John 2:26 - 27 26.These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27. But the ANNOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him abideth IN YOU, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of ALL THINGS, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye SHALL ABIDE in him.
Beyoncé is not and will never be on Whitney level. The person who made this video clearly likes Beyoncé more. They put Beyoncé best performances up and didn’t do the same for Whitney. They don’t even have the same octave range. Beyoncé is 3.4 while Whitney is 5.
They were eating them Eb5s up real disrespectfully but them F5s and F#5s my God. Their head voice were pretty much equal with slight different tones. Whitney, Beyoncé, Celine, Mariah Carey, and Jessie J are my top 5 female vocalists
NONE OF THESE ARTISTS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WILL NEVER SING LIKE WHITNEY HOUSTON, BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU WHY BECAUSE WHITNEY HOUSTON COMD FROM A FAMIILY OF GREAT GOSPEL SINGERS HER MOTHER CISSY HOUSTON, HER COUSINS DEE DEE & DIONNE WARWICK & HER GODMOTHER THE QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN.
The whole "Beyonce can't sing" argument is very silly. I hold that she is not Whitney but people have to realize that there is alot in between Whitney and not being able to sing. Beyonce has amazing range and tone. The thing is that she doesn't sing full out anymore because thats not what audiences today want, sadly. She has to do rap/trap singing to pander to current tastes.
TBH whitney's power and vibrato are the stands out but i still prefered,in general,Beyonce's notes on a technical level Tonally though,whitney's tone is golden and unmatched Beyonce is vocally underrated she can belt as high as whitney(who's a soprano) and go way lower with way more support and also go higher in headvoice and keep proficiency,power,resonance and vibrato
@@renatoamaral7719 her lows weren’t the best because she wasn’t singing music that utilized lows. When she went down there it a darkness and depth that was similar to Beyoncé. And a clear indication of her being a mezzo is her passaggio. A real spinto soprano is someone like J-HUD.
Yes! Whitney belted a few G#5s live. And she actually mixed a C#6 (very short but it's actually a C#6) in her 1986 Syracuse concert ("Wanna Be Starting Somethin'"). She did a few whistles as well before. They got a pretty similar range all things considered except Beyonce has more range in the low. Whitney never used much of her low range (her lowest note was C#3 - the second octave notes were mislabelled).
@@DiorD737 Lol if you don't believe me go watch that concert I referenced yourself. It's in full on UA-cam. The C#6 is there. And she did whistles on several occassions, some were exclaimed some were not. The G6s in 'My Name is Not Susan' live were not exclaimed.
This video gave me more respect for Beyoncé. Of the bat from the first video I already identified the differences that make Whitney better. Her TONE is magical. There was a battle of the c#5 which is both Whitney and Beyoncé’s sweet note. Towards the middle of the upper register Beyoncé was honestly doing better than Whitney and I was gonna say she has more range than Whitney. Then towards the end of the upper register Whitney slammed Beyoncé. Naturally Whitney’s voice is more powerful that Beyoncé’s. Beyoncé uses the technique she uses for growl in her belt to make them almost reach the power of Whitney’s. Even through bad tapes and 80s concert audios you can hear Whitney’s power reach throughout. In head voice I already knew Whitney was gonna win. Across the board with agility, tone, and the pierce of it all. Her head voice is beautiful. Beyoncé’s technique carried her thorough 🔥. I personally like gospelly singers more and even though Beyoncé is considered more gospelly, Whitney still won for me. And this is an unbiased opinion.
@@whip1720 Whitney has/had the best head voice in popular music. Ralph is correct, Whitney’s agility in her head voice is unmatched and her power is phenomenal. Whitney reigns supreme. Beyoncé’s head voice has good power but she doesn’t have the agility, pitch, volume control and depth of Whitney’s. Here in this audio you will see where Whitney is far ahead of Beyoncé and everyone else when it comes to head voice. Start around the 6:17 mark ua-cam.com/video/7pa6rUAOc0o/v-deo.html
Agreed. But let's not ignore the lows and utmost highs of Beyoncé's voice. Because Beyoncé can definitely go higher than Whitney (F6) and as a mezzo, can go lower (F2). So as far as range in concerned, consider that. But of course Whitney is THEE Voice, I mean, come on!
The power of Whitney is … make feel everything song , story telling is wonderful . Deference era , different techniques but I Beyoncé to . For me Whitney still the best all the time
Whitney comes from a whole bloodline of saaaannnging family like her legendary Iconic cousin Ms. Dionne Warwick. Whitney learned tons from her!! Her mother gospel singer Ms. Cissy Houston and many more family members!! This was a good video. I Prefer, Whitney but Beyonce did her thang though. She can sang and has good technique.
Put of the two, Whitney’s voice is the most developed and efficient. “Release of sound”. Definitely more core and depth in the sound. It is not about having 5 octaves. When it comes vocal feats, both have showcased a large variety with Whitney to be capable of even staccatissimi ( something Beyoncé has not executed ) and incredibly complex vocal dynamics that still remained unsurpassed.
Eh. I don't actually like to use decorative skill sets to compare/contrast vocal advantage. The same could be said about Whiteny vs. Mariah with Mariah obviously having more complexities in her voice due to her whistle register and sustained low notes. I would still give Whitney the edge but by your logic you would be giving Mariah the edge. Beyoncé's vocal technique is other wordly and I would place her above Whitney in that specific category & even though Whitney has the edge (and I do mean edge) overall I don't think it's due to staccatassimi
@@ronnydraper Mariah has an underdeveloped instrument and her “whistles” just squeaky top notes. Nothing more complex or superior. And what about low notes if you can’t even maintain an even scale? Everybody can whisper low notes via magic mics. When it comes down to technique, it is all about having developed chest voice ( foundation - Whitney’s is clearly more developed . Mr Silver said “huge chest voice” ) , well developed head voice and coordination. Whitney is just the gold standard of that. And stop spreading the lies that everybody else is “technically superior” when they can’t match her. Just saying. And by vocal feats, I just wanna let you know about her technical proficiency because most people just talk about her tone and loudness … She can do all the things Beyoncé can and even more. 🤷♂️
This is a month old but idc more developed and efficient? Don’t fucking lie Whitney was inconsistent af beyonce never has been and Beyoncé is better then Whitney in every aspect of the voice tone is subjective so that literally doesn’t matter beyonce can go higher go lower she can support it better then Whitney she had a way better technique her runs are more clearly and way faster then Whitney’s her stamina is way better her songs are way harder to sing it’s unmatched
@@whip1720 Im sorry im having a hard time reading this…. u bughive members need better grammar…. Im sorry beyonces songs are harder to sing???? her melisma is better then Whitneys???? shes better then whitney in any way possible??? WHATTTTT…..
Technically, Beyoncé is really a great singer... but Whitney just has an 'IT' factor about her voice that makes her unmatched. Beyoncé is good and that cannot be ignored (technique wise), but she doesn't have that 'IT' factor that Whitney has. It's like with Michael and his performances. There are many other male singers who can sing AND dance well, but they just don't have that 'IT' factor that Michael has. Both Michael and Whitney has an out of this world, blessed beyond comparison 'IT' factor.
As a performer and whole package that's what alot of people don't have that beyonce has is just that IT factor you mentioned they kinda need theatrics and props and she don't. Take her Stevie wonder tribute for instance. But I absolutely agree when we talk about beyonce and Whitney. Beyonce is more then a good singer 100% but Whitney just has that IT factor vocally.
On some of these notes if I close my they sound the same. Their technical abilities are on par with each other. Whitney has the better tone(subjectively) and more emotion. Beyoncé on the other hand is more agile. So it comes down to preference.
@@ezekielgreen4122 nah I actually think beyonce might have Whitney strictly on skill. Whitney had just this sheer raw power to her voice that very simple and in your face and it's like a monster how powerful it is. The vibrato packs a mic Tyson punch its sorta like her national anthem I'm not sure any vocal is better then that national anthem.
They’re both top 5 vocalists. I will never understand why people compare Black people lol. However, Adele should never be put next to Beyoncé or Whitney ever. At most maybe Sza or… Rihanna… maybe not even them. Whitney has the church in her voice. Bey has the power and technicality. Same note different vocalist. Different vocal chords.
Huh? What is there to understand? White artists/groups are always compared too. Beatles & The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney & John Lennon, Madonna & Cyndi Lauper, Christina Aguilera & Britney Spears. Amy Winehouse & Adele. These are just at the top of my head Comparison when it comes to any art form is nothing new.
Whitney always and forever. The voice, no one can even come close. Her tone, pitch and head voice is untouchable. All her vocals are raw and pure, there is no studio and mic effects to make he voice sound more full. Most artist today sing along with the instrumental Whitney sang along with and on top of the instrumental. Her voice always was the #1 instrument! For me it's never a verses because no one could ever. God's gift is not the same as talent and skilled buy hard work and practice and Whitney's voice was a gift from god that will be cherished for eternity!!!
The others just don't have the fire power like Whitney that's why she's the most awarded female singer in music history ...leave it at that RIP Whitney you the GOAT ....
With this type of battle people never honestly Acknowledge that Beyoncé is mostly seen as a performer but never a vocalist she can hold her to Whitney which is what it love about her and love Whitney
I completely agree with you about Adele. I don't understand why they regard her vocals the way they do. I will say this, Whitney will FOREVER be the greatest vocalist in my opinion. However, MS. BEY is one of the greatest vocalist of all time! Shoutout to whoever made that compilation, even I was surprised at how similar Whitney and Bey are and I think that's what people don't realize until you watch a video like this. If Beyoncé had came along first, they'd be calling her the voice. Last thing I'll say is videos like this make me even more mad when people say Beyoncé can't sing.
Whitney Houston - The Voice. Whitney's body is no more yet her VOICE is still active and alive to an extend that artist that are regarded as most achievers and most talented of the recent times are being compared to Whitney's voice. Now that screems LEGENDARY. The initiative to measure Bey to Whitney already gives the clear picture that Whitney Houston's Voice is legendary, a true gift from God. Whitney sang during times where there was not so much musical technology and all she needed was a mic and an audience... no special mic's, no special speakers for a specific sound, no auto tune, no echoing mic functions and etc but she was able to deliver hence we are here today comparing Whitney's voice to artists that rely on technical assistance. I bet that even the next artist of the future generation will also have the very same comparison, where they will be comparing the extremly talented artist of their time to Whitney. I say again, Whitney's Voice is Legendary
Whitney practically owns the 4th and 5th octaves. She's easily one of the best belters up to E5/F#5; and clearly has one of the best head voices up to A5/B5 [occasionally C6]. Not to mention her dynamic control and warm, velvety timbre. However, Beyonce is brilliant, as well.
Yal are really annoying hating on Beyoncé . Beyoncé is THEE greatest live performer ever. EVER . And She one of the only singers who literally goes all out with full choreography, and full vocals, acting ALL THAT EVERYTIME !!! And she sounds AMAZING while doing it Whitney is a legend BUT BEYONCÉ IS ALSO AND WILL FOREVER BE A LEGEND Y’all need to get over yourselves cause she done went to the moon a back too many times for yal to be hating with no valid critique
@@The_Truth- nah she better than Michael . She dances more and dances BETTER , IN HEELS and makeup and elaborate outfits , even while PREGNANT. All while delivering some of the best live performance vocally . She’s far better than micheal although he’s a close second
Both incredibly, amazingly and outstanding vocalist. ❤❤❤ Whitney's smooth and powerful vocals and Beyonce's growling and the Arabic Notes are so Amazing 👏. We need to celebrate these Beautiful, talented black women. I just appreciate them can't compare them.
I love love love Beyonce, her high notes, power, and she mastered Live. Whitney is a Legend,powerful voice and the soul and texture of her voice is immaculate. Even her Star Spangled Banner is the Standard as nd no one comes close.
VOCALLY, Nobody is touching WHITNEY her range is out of this world. Her range came from heaven. Now BEYONCÉ is way theatrical as far as singing and dancing goes. Like my boy said its preference at the end of the day. 💝 but I’m Whitney all day just so you know. 😂⭐️
Beyonce is a good vocalist and excellent technical singer. With vocal agility second to none. Well, maybe second to prime Mariah Carey. Whitney Houston was the VOICE of a generation. The Eighth Wonder of the World. Her voice was likened to a strativarius. With the purest tone, best diction, amazing range, power, resonance, rolling vibrato and the best headvoice in popular music. End of story.
@@DiorD737 again, not really. 1. She only supports her head voice a note higher than Whitney’s. 2. If we’re talking “support” she’s still not unmatched. Lecresia Campbell, Deniece Williams, Maureen McGovern, Sohyang, Lisa Fischer exists.
Yeah this battle cant really be judge! Both are very phenomenal vocalist!! But I think it’s a preference thing like you said!! When it comes down to a decision majority falls to Whitney because she has a gifted tone!! & her vibrato and the way she uses it nobody can use notes like her she slows down and speeds up her vibrato!! Her incredible sustainability!! And ability to transition and land riffs and runs and inflect! While inflecting emotion into everything she sings!! Plus she has outstanding head notes!! Even as time went on she gained as she lost!! Her agility got even more crazy towards the end for her! Whitney just never stopped giving! I just feel these two can’t be compared!! It’s painful to do so! Lol and a insult! Two different eras! & vocal qualities! Both are loved uncontrollably!! But nippy is the all time high!! Not to take away from anyone however that queen has earned her flowers!! 🎶🎶🤦🏽♂️🤍it’s a different radiance when Whitney sings! So I say it’s definitely a tone thing!!
This video only shows how Beyonce is underrated, they are amazing singers, but only one, sometimes, is recognized as great vocalist, when both are. There's no winners, there's no need of competition!
Agree but based on what I heard Beyonce owns A4-B4,F5-F#5..Whitney owns C5-E5,G5-G#5s and if you dont know Whitney belts up to Bb5 but ppl just say her highest G#5...
Back in Whitney's Wonder years nobody could touch her it's a shame people have to see her vulnerable and moving in but each to its own fit in where you get in
I gotta say man I wanna delete some of yall comments just for sheer stupidity smh some of yall are so bias you can't hear shit
It’s actually really sad to me. I’m the biggest Whitney fan, but I would never discredit Beyonce’s talent. I don’t understand why fans of either have to say ridiculous and untruthful things just to make a point. We all have favorites for different reasons. If you don’t agree with someone, just keep scrolling. It’s not that difficult.
I hope ur speaking of Whitney
Comparing Whitney always belt flawlessly. Beyonce just coming up! Yes Whitney has power
No Beyonce plays Whitney laughs
Lashun pace, Twinkie Clark, Karen Clark sheard, and Vanessa bell Armstrong would be great competition for Whitney
And for Beyonce it would be cool to see her go up against Kierra sheard
Beyoncé is VERY underrated as a vocalist. Whitney is the voice and she always will be but the fact that Beyoncé can hold her own and she’s able to hit the same notes in different styles…. She’s a BEAST. Whitney is the queen of sustaining the notes and that vibrato!!!! Beyoncé is the queen of vocal versatility!!! Even her vibrato is versatile!! People can downplay Beyoncé all they want and try to make the reverb excuse (when every vocalist including Whitney uses it) Beyoncé is one of the best vocalist of all time.
Vanessa bell Armstrong, Karen Clark sheard, Twinkie Clark, and lashun pace are also experts in all of this
@@tifftotheb it’s 2021 babe, let it go! Beyoncé is not the reason for your fail life goals! Do better next time
Beyonce is not underrated lol many ppl praise her vocals..Do you know what 'UNDERRATED' means?
@@bestvocalsbyvocalists849 she is underrated. Most people actually give her kore credit for her performance ability than vocal ability. And she is not taken as seriously as other major vocalist so yeah the initial statement still stands.
@@bestvocalsbyvocalists849 she's underrated as a vocalist. Most of people praise her as an entertainer.
Whitney’s voice gives me goosebumps every single time. That’s how I am judging this. Yes they can hit the same notes technically, but to me Whitney’s tone and delivery just hit different. Her tone is absolutely golden. They are both incredible vocalists, but I literally feel everything that Whitney sings. I always have and always will.
Yes I agree...I feel Whitney's heart and soul and her tone sounds like velvet...the notes never mattered much to me....it's about touching one's soul through music.
I agree! Singers can hit the same notes but it’s the feeling and delivery of them. Whitney could caress a note and it hits yr soul.
I agree and I’m the biggest fan of both! It’s like Fantasia and Jennifer both can blow but Fantasia touches your soul just like Whitney! I just want people to stop playing Beyoncé this is evidence that she can sing💯‼️💯‼️💯‼️
I got goosebumps from the both of them, Beyoncé has a unique tone & vibrato as well & she also retains weight in her upper belts.
True
It’s a reason why they call Whitney Houston The Voice. That’s all I’m saying.
I don't think you can put any contemporary singer next to Whitney Houston in her prime 1983 to 1995
And there's a reason why they call Beyoncé the *QUEEN* . That's all I'm saying.

Now y’all need to stop being delusional. Y’all honestly think Beyoncé can hold a candle to Whitney. A fucking insult. Beyoncé singing ain’t never gave me chills. I get chills anytime I hear Whitney. Anyone who reacts to Whitney says the same thing. She doesn’t even try. It comes natural. Beyoncé gives her all and it still come up short compared to Whitney. Beyoncé screams a lot too. Whitney voice is anointed and powerful at the same time. Her tone is unmatched.
Whitney for the win..... She's the *GREATEST female vocalist to ever touch a mic.* ✅
I'll say this Whitney will always and forever be the voice that's that. BUT this video proves beyoncé can definitely hold her own I mean they were neck and neck and even sounded very similar sometimes. Also this just shows how Versatile beyonce is and how talented she is this lady gave one of the best vocal Renditions of the star spangled banner, then came back a few years later and gave one of the best Halftime shows ever. This woman is literally The embodiment Of all the greats that came before her / Tina , MJ prince and Whitney. She has the crazy amazing vocals stage presents great dancer and in the top 2 of the greatest entertainers of all time and in a lot of people eyes she is the greatest entertainer of all time, she can give you a crazy amazing vocal only performance ,and then turn around and give you a crazy amazing entertaining performance with visuals African dance and vocals, she's really a once in a lifetime artist who truly deserves her flowers while she is here.
Delusional. Beyoncé not even in the top 50 of greatest voices ever. Whitney is on that list and up high. Beyoncé screams and literally no feeling behind her singing.

@@thabigcohuna well she held her own on stage with JHud that was proven. I’m not sure why people have to compare. Technically as a singer myself Beyoncé is a certified vocalist. Period & yes vocal placement, volume control, breathe control, runs, lower, middle & high notes are there. She is certified. She’s totally in the top of some of the best to do it. Her consistency is literally unmatched.
Whitneys voice carries more power and resonance. Yes they are hitting the same notes/keys, but the clarity of Whitneys voice gives them full life. Her voice is just anointed. Hands down...But Beyonce holds her own.
Exactly, he kept trying to put into words what the distinction/power in the voice was even though they were hitting the same notes....anointed. That is why Whitney's voice would "pierce" right into you and not just bounce off as a pretty polished sound.
@@donaldedavisart3999 Exactly 💯 👏

Her instrument is just bigger, Beyoncé still produces a large sound even with a smaller instrument! And that’s a testament to her amazing technique
@@WElppp for me personally Whitney is better, but she couldn't take care of her voice... So the result is she lost her golden voice... While Beyonce wow she maintains her voice, now it's deeper richer better than before

Whitney still the best though!❤
I’d give the first two C#5’s (though the second one being a tie is also valid) and the 4th and 5th C6’s to Whitney. With that being said, Beyoncé can definitely compete with the greats.
This just shows that Beyoncé and Whitney are around the same level vocally but there are people out there who act like Beyoncé is an amateur compared to her.
The battle of vibrato and head voice. They both have the best in the business.
Beyoncé’s vibrato is so damn specific. One of my fav‘s
@@toshiro8997 It really is, every time I hear her voice I always listen to that specific vibrato.
Hmm…whitney most def
@@joelgarcia3907 mhm no

Beyoncé can for sure hold her own. Love them both
Whitney is the diamond and platinum standard, the benchmark when it comes to singing.
I Love Them Both but Whitney's tone was unmatched and the best in the business ever! Whitney is that girl.
I agree
This clip for me shows that it’s just a matter of preference and respect because literally they did the same notes in almost the same tone I feel like they can still have Whitney with her title and still respect what beyonce can do with her voice instead of downplaying it
I agree. But I see too many people dissing Beyonce as someone who is overrated and not able to sing. When you start to delve into her catalog and live performances, she blows me away with both her vocal range, control, and agility. I will say I've never heard anyone do some of the things Beyonce does with her voice. I love Whitney, and she will always be a favorite.
They are both legendary, but Whitney’s voice gives me goosebumps, while Bey’s does not. Whitney had the tone, pure power, and emotion. Bey has the agility, and vocal creativity.
I think for me Whitney gives me goosebumps and I think beyobce gives you a shock factor. Like when you hear her love on top it's just a crazy amount of sheer power that is just simply hard to sing
I just said the same thing about Whitney giving me chills. Beyoncé voice does nothing for me.
@@carriel9954 and that’s ok lmao

@@carriel9954 ok and that’s for you
I prefer Whitney’s tone because it can’t be touched. However, Beyoncé’s technique makes a lot of her notes sound more free if that makes sense.
Very much

Different vocal types 😅 Beyonce can be considered a Soprano, Whitney a Mezzo@@bestvocalsbyvocalists849
Its a singer vs a vocalist comparison.
There are 2 vocalists@@Visioneyed
I prefer Beyonce how she seems to have this beautiful transition into her head voice that adds the icing on the cake but Whitney is good too.
“But Whitney is good too” 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Love beyonce but Whitney is something special special!!!
First and foremost. . . Whitney is one of the best vocalists to EVER grace this earth.... but my GOD, yall need to start giving Bey her damn flowers. Because, almost all of hers were live performances.... which means she was DANCING HER ASS OFF during these vocals in many parts. Like COME ON, Beyonce can do it all. And in addition, she was pregnant during some of these and dancing in 6+ inch heels for some. She's the GOAT.... plus, her vocal control is out of this world. Like, actually though. Her use of Messa Di Voce is UNTOUCHED. And Bey can go like 2 more octaves down than this video showed as well. COME TF ON!!!! I love Whitney, and she was THE VOICE, but yall better start showing that love to Bey. She's so underrated when it comes to her vocal abilities.
When it comes down to volume control, Whitney just >>>
Wider spectrum of volumes …
And Whitney was just capable even of staccatissimi …
More connectedness and evenness of sound.
Whitney was a hell of vocal technician. Just saying.
And we need ro showcase the different vocal feats. Mancando, esclamazione piu viva , esclamazione lánguida , staccatissimo ( pianissimo , mezzo forte ) , staccati ( different volumes as well ), … you don’t see anything of that from Whitney on this video. 🤷♂️
By the way, some of her best moments are not here. Also, old audios.
@@fzpe856 Beyoncé is also is a hell of a vocal technician, and she also has way better videos of her hitting these notes they didn’t use either one of there best. all Beyoncé notes are like from 2016 and down she’s gotta way better she hasn’t even hit her prime yet, we don’t know what her prime will be cause she keeps getting better. not saying she’s better then THE VOICE, but she definitely is on the same level I wouldn’t look at somebody crazy if they said Beyoncé is better and Vice versa
@@Outside4 Better than Whitney? heck no.

She is not getting better and not on the same level. Don’t get me wrong, she is better than most of the ladies of her era, but on the same level she is not.
Always release the air though.

@@alvinloh9068 I clearly said “not saying she’s better then the voice” (Whitney)
Whitney will forever be the voice but keep it mind that Beyoncé whole range wasn’t used in this clip. She can go till F6 while Whitney can’t. I feel like Whitney and Barbra are Beyoncé’s inspiration vocally. Great video

Whitney is the g.o.a.t... BUT this video absolutely proves that Beyonce is in league with the legends. The surprise isn't that Whitney won, but rather *how close it was*.... Beyonce is always called "over-rated" meanwhile Adele and similar artists get consistently rated as good. People need to just come out and say that they have a bias against Beyonce's black-centric, urban "r&b" oversinging because her vocal proficiency is at the top of the league.
Talk about it!
Anybody can do what Beyoncé can do, but nobody has came into the music industry Abdul floored the world the way Whitney did. Beyoncé is not in Whitney’s league, she does sit at that table.
@@The_Truth- Beyonce has a 4 octave range. She can sing deeper than most contraltos and higher than most sopranos. Her agility is one of the best and more than anything she is nearly the most consistent live singer in our generation.
Beyonce isn’t Whitney, but I feel there’s just something about Beyonce that makes people refuse to admit that she’s vocally way at the top of the pack.
Saying anyone can duplicate Beyonce is just ridiculous. Beyonce is, as this video reveals, closer to Whitney than probably any singer right now, and like I said, Whitney won the comparison but the surprise was how close Beyonce is and the fact that it needs to be side by side for people to see it.
@@Sloppyjoey1 because Beyoncé is not at the top of the pack when it comes to legendary singers. Tone alone Whitney takes the cake, Whitney’s debut floored the world, Beyoncé debut nothing to write home about. One sung flat footed fully clothed, the other bent over for the world to see. When you have a voice like Whitney’s why would you need to dance or be in a group?
@@The_Truth- Whitney was successful but to say she “floored the world at debut” is ridiculous. Whitney was even being boo’d and unappreciated by the black community for a long period of time before she was known as “the voice”.
Whitney didn’t “floor the world” until her body guard era. It’s true that Whitney was always good but give me a break, she was criticized for sounding too white and was originally a pop artist.
I do not care if Beyonce wasn’t originally as good. I give Beyonce credit for her enormous growth as a singer. People seem desperate to hold her old music and performance ability against her as a singer.
The truth is, Beyonce became an exceptional singer. Nobody here is saying she’s a legend, the point is that Beyonce is a technically strong singer to the point that we can actually take her vocals and compare them seriously against a legend like Whitney.
This video showed pure slayage on all sides… I pick Whitney… we all did… but the fact that you sit here and talk like this is a battle between a Legend and someone that “anyone can do what they do” is giving me hater energy.
Bey and Whitney were straight up eating these vocals for 20 minutes, no need to be negative or hate.
YES SIR ! NOW THATS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT ! It’s crazy how similar they actually are vocally ! TWO VOCAL MUGULS AND POWERHOUSE !! LEGENDS! THE TALENT UHHH
Similiar? I dont think so
Beyoncé definitely held her own!

OMG DOMINIC !!!!!!! It’s been years since I wanted you to react to this LEGENDARY BATTLE !
Been a long time coming friend lol but it's time for a couple vs battles
Whitney’s tone is indescribable.
I LOVEEE WHITNEY HOUSTON but of course Beyoncé can hold it down!!! Queen Whitney and Beyoncé are vocalist!
Whitney.
Hands down!
Singing is a lot of things rolled into one.
Whitney's sound is fuller, fatter and has way more bass in her tone. It is an OPEN sound.
Beyonce doesn't have that.
Whitney gives me goosebumps every time.
I've never gotten goosebumps from Beyonce's voice.
I mean...didn't they both sing the national anthem?
Whitney's anthem has gone down in history.
I don't find this a close competition at all frankly.
Beyonce can sing. No doubt BUT
I think the difference in sound qualities is obvious.
I also think that if the 2 were singing live together, the difference would be clear.
Whitney's sound is better.
Beyonce has an extream amount of power now if they were to take it to "church" and beyonce might be the one that suprise you in that battle

@Israel Onaghinor wasn’t whitney a spinto? Her tessitura sits higher and her lows arent is present as a mezzos
Why dont you love me mrs carter version is and still is untouchable.
Many try to lower Beyoncé as a singer, especially the fans of the great divas of the past, saying that Beyoncé is not at their level, but Beyoncé is, she is skillful, she has great control of her voice, she has style, versatility, she interprets. and transmits emotions when singing, the only thing different is that those divas stood out in having wide ranges or beautiful tones of voice, many of them are sopranos, but these kinds of qualities do not require talent, training or artistic sensitivity, the voice is determined by your anatomy, it's something biological, you don't choose your voice, you choose how to use it.
I swear this was the hardest vocal comparison video I have ever heard tbh
Agreed.
💯
I think you hit it dead on when you said it’s all about the preference of their tone, because they are evenly matched otherwise.
Chest voice Whitney was unmatched. She didnt need to scream to belt out her notes. When it comes to Lows Beyoncé has it hands down. But head voice they are both incredible. Even match if you will. Whitney has more of flex when I comes to improvising because she grew up in the church. Bey can sing and dance. But for the most part when they belt it’s simply resonance not excess screaming. Bey is more agile for sure and Whitney had more of the power. So Vocally Whitney was 99% and Beyoncé is 95%
Love how you put this
Whitney had that resonance power tone vibrato and that head voice was just out of this world, there's a reason shes The Voice
I swear they are vocally related if that was a thing. Beyonce would be Whitney's vocal daughter.
Am sorry but Whitney's Houston voice out shine all them new generation Stars period .she gives me goosebumps everything I hear her voice.Beyonce does not give me that feeling.........Whitney had that something xtra Special she sing for God
I love Beyoncé but Whitney is from another planet. Nobody can beat "the voice".
The reason why people like beyonce is , cause she worships satan, do your research before you comment. Whitney didn't worship satan , Whitney was popular , by the blessings of Jehovah god and Jesus.
Both are exceptional but Whitney has something extra that moves the soul
Them voices is ridiculous both legends🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes please for all my ones with a good ear for musicality can agree that beyonce’s vibrato is top 10 in the game of all time dead or alive & I said what I said💯
Whitney Houston voice is too rich
Beyonce uses a lot of reverb to make it sound more full.. Whitney doesn't need to at all
Because she is performing on a whole ass stadium and I think it‘s her style 😂
Beyoncé don’t need Reverb also…
there is plenty of clips without reverb...
I was saying the exact same thing. She had echo effects on it as well. All of that give her bigger, rounder sound. I love Beyonce, but to be honest, the mic isn't dry.
Clock it
Oh and also Beyoncé has crazy crazy lows that Whitney doesn’t have!!! Like in “other side” a song from the gift album. However I absolutely adore Whitney! Everything you said in this video is true! It’s down to what you prefer.
There's a clear distinction between an anointed powerful voice **** and a beautiful technical/skillful voice. The anointed power in addition to skill and technique coming out of Whitney's voice is what makes an unmatched difference. Aretha's (Queen of Soul) voice was also anointed (with power). Both equally skilled singers, yes - but the 'anointed gift' on a voice is what makes the difference.
Your logic makes no sense at all that's way to subjective how can you say someone's voice is or isn't anointed like you are the most high and gave them their gift that's not even something you can argue.
@@Scorpion-dn8ju Yes, it absolutely makes no sense to you because you are carnal minded and do not understand spiritual things🤔 Whitney was playing gospel music backstage ALWAYS before every concert. Most of the great black divas came out of the church choir. She understood she was given a POWERFUL gift, and her purpose, even though she did not take care of her instrument. You simply don't understand an anointing...but that's okay - a carnal mind never will.
@@donaldedavisart3999 say it louder!!!
@@donaldedavisart3999that doesn’t mean it’s anointed. In music it’s called emotiveness.
@@squarcircle2254 I think it's clear she was appointed a gift to sing. When God gives you a gift - you may be using/operating in it even while sometimes living in sin. Roman's 11:29 says "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance." Also, if you have God's anointing in you it surely can have an impact on your singing. These two Bible verses read 1John 2:26 - 27 26.These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27. But the ANNOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him abideth IN YOU, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of ALL THINGS, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye SHALL ABIDE in him.
See this shows beyonce on level with her... people really sleep on beyonce's vocals 😭

Ok. Take a breath
The whole "Beyonce can't sing" argument is very silly. I hold that she is not Whitney but people have to realize that there is alot in between Whitney and not being able to sing. Beyonce has amazing range and tone. The thing is that she doesn't sing full out anymore because thats not what audiences today want, sadly. She has to do rap/trap singing to pander to current tastes.
Within the last 3, 4 years Bey has released Before I Let Go and The Gift album she was sanging not singing but sanging on both
TBH whitney's power and vibrato are the stands out but i still prefered,in general,Beyonce's notes on a technical level
Tonally though,whitney's tone is golden and unmatched
Beyonce is vocally underrated she can belt as high as whitney(who's a soprano) and go way lower with way more support and also go higher in headvoice and keep proficiency,power,resonance and vibrato
Beyonce is a soprano.
@@THEE.apples no,she is not Lmao
Get ya facts right xD
Whitney is a mezzo
@@critic8587 she's not
have you heard her ease in her upper chest register in the first 2-3 albums? plus have you heard her lows? clearly not a mezzo
@@renatoamaral7719 her lows weren’t the best because she wasn’t singing music that utilized lows. When she went down there it a darkness and depth that was similar to Beyoncé. And a clear indication of her being a mezzo is her passaggio. A real spinto soprano is someone like J-HUD.
And a lot of these Belts , Beyoncé did while giving FULL CHOREOGRAPHY.
Choreography doesnt matter at VOCALS LOL
Yes! Whitney belted a few G#5s live. And she actually mixed a C#6 (very short but it's actually a C#6) in her 1986 Syracuse concert ("Wanna Be Starting Somethin'"). She did a few whistles as well before. They got a pretty similar range all things considered except Beyonce has more range in the low. Whitney never used much of her low range (her lowest note was C#3 - the second octave notes were mislabelled).

@@DiorD737 Lol if you don't believe me go watch that concert I referenced yourself. It's in full on UA-cam. The C#6 is there. And she did whistles on several occassions, some were exclaimed some were not. The G6s in 'My Name is Not Susan' live were not exclaimed.
@@KajiVocals right 🤣
Now y’all see why I recommended this particular video !!!!
This video gave me more respect for Beyoncé. Of the bat from the first video I already identified the differences that make Whitney better. Her TONE is magical. There was a battle of the c#5 which is both Whitney and Beyoncé’s sweet note. Towards the middle of the upper register Beyoncé was honestly doing better than Whitney and I was gonna say she has more range than Whitney. Then towards the end of the upper register Whitney slammed Beyoncé. Naturally Whitney’s voice is more powerful that Beyoncé’s. Beyoncé uses the technique she uses for growl in her belt to make them almost reach the power of Whitney’s. Even through bad tapes and 80s concert audios you can hear Whitney’s power reach throughout. In head voice I already knew Whitney was gonna win. Across the board with agility, tone, and the pierce of it all. Her head voice is beautiful. Beyoncé’s technique carried her thorough 🔥. I personally like gospelly singers more and even though Beyoncé is considered more gospelly, Whitney still won for me. And this is an unbiased opinion.
This is a good analysis
Well she definitely didn’t win in head voice you like Whitney’s Tone in her head but it’s definitely not better
Yes, definitely
@@whip1720 Whitney has/had the best head voice in popular music. Ralph is correct, Whitney’s agility in her head voice is unmatched and her power is phenomenal. Whitney reigns supreme. Beyoncé’s head voice has good power but she doesn’t have the agility, pitch, volume control and depth of Whitney’s. Here in this audio you will see where Whitney is far ahead of Beyoncé and everyone else when it comes to head voice. Start around the 6:17 mark
ua-cam.com/video/7pa6rUAOc0o/v-deo.html
Agreed. But let's not ignore the lows and utmost highs of Beyoncé's voice. Because Beyoncé can definitely go higher than Whitney (F6) and as a mezzo, can go lower (F2). So as far as range in concerned, consider that. But of course Whitney is THEE Voice, I mean, come on!
The power of Whitney is … make feel everything song , story telling is wonderful . Deference era , different techniques but I Beyoncé to .
For me Whitney still the best all the time
Whitney comes from a whole bloodline of saaaannnging family like her legendary Iconic cousin Ms. Dionne Warwick. Whitney learned tons from her!! Her mother gospel singer Ms. Cissy Houston and many more family members!! This was a good video. I Prefer, Whitney but Beyonce did her thang though. She can sang and has good technique.
the two greatest female artists of all time. Period.
Put of the two, Whitney’s voice is the most developed and efficient. “Release of sound”. Definitely more core and depth in the sound. It is not about having 5 octaves.
When it comes vocal feats, both have showcased a large variety with Whitney to be capable of even staccatissimi ( something Beyoncé has not executed ) and incredibly complex vocal dynamics that still remained unsurpassed.
Eh. I don't actually like to use decorative skill sets to compare/contrast vocal advantage. The same could be said about Whiteny vs. Mariah with Mariah obviously having more complexities in her voice due to her whistle register and sustained low notes. I would still give Whitney the edge but by your logic you would be giving Mariah the edge. Beyoncé's vocal technique is other wordly and I would place her above Whitney in that specific category & even though Whitney has the edge (and I do mean edge) overall I don't think it's due to staccatassimi
@@ronnydraper
Mariah has an underdeveloped instrument and her “whistles” just squeaky top notes. Nothing more complex or superior. And what about low notes if you can’t even maintain an even scale? Everybody can whisper low notes via magic mics.
When it comes down to technique, it is all about having developed chest voice ( foundation - Whitney’s is clearly more developed . Mr Silver said “huge chest voice” ) , well developed head voice and coordination. Whitney is just the gold standard of that. And stop spreading the lies that everybody else is “technically superior” when they can’t match her. Just saying.
And by vocal feats, I just wanna let you know about her technical proficiency because most people just talk about her tone and loudness …
She can do all the things Beyoncé can and even more. 🤷♂️
You completely get it :)
This is a month old but idc more developed and efficient? Don’t fucking lie Whitney was inconsistent af beyonce never has been and Beyoncé is better then Whitney in every aspect of the voice tone is subjective so that literally doesn’t matter beyonce can go higher go lower she can support it better then Whitney she had a way better technique her runs are more clearly and way faster then Whitney’s her stamina is way better her songs are way harder to sing it’s unmatched
@@whip1720 Im sorry im having a hard time reading this…. u bughive members need better grammar…. Im sorry beyonces songs are harder to sing???? her melisma is better then Whitneys???? shes better then whitney in any way possible??? WHATTTTT…..
It’s Whitney for me 😩😩😩
Both technically brilliant but I prefer Beyonce's voice.
Just go to 8:55 alone to see why no one will ever be on the same level as Whitney Houston
Technically, Beyoncé is really a great singer... but Whitney just has an 'IT' factor about her voice that makes her unmatched. Beyoncé is good and that cannot be ignored (technique wise), but she doesn't have that 'IT' factor that Whitney has.
It's like with Michael and his performances. There are many other male singers who can sing AND dance well, but they just don't have that 'IT' factor that Michael has. Both Michael and Whitney has an out of this world, blessed beyond comparison 'IT' factor.
As a performer and whole package that's what alot of people don't have that beyonce has is just that IT factor you mentioned they kinda need theatrics and props and she don't. Take her Stevie wonder tribute for instance. But I absolutely agree when we talk about beyonce and Whitney. Beyonce is more then a good singer 100% but Whitney just has that IT factor vocally.
You can’t just finish watching this video and still call Beyonce a “good singer”. She’s an incredible vocalist and one of the greats.
On some of these notes if I close my they sound the same. Their technical abilities are on par with each other. Whitney has the better tone(subjectively) and more emotion. Beyoncé on the other hand is more agile. So it comes down to preference.
Very well said
@@ThatSingerReactions Do you think that Whitney is way above Beyoncé in terms of skill or they are matched and it comes down to preference
@@ezekielgreen4122 nah I actually think beyonce might have Whitney strictly on skill. Whitney had just this sheer raw power to her voice that very simple and in your face and it's like a monster how powerful it is. The vibrato packs a mic Tyson punch its sorta like her national anthem I'm not sure any vocal is better then that national anthem.
@@ThatSingerReactions I agree
@@ThatSingerReactions oh and you should react to the Beyoncé experience and if u can’t find it it’s on dvdbey20
They’re both top 5 vocalists. I will never understand why people compare Black people lol. However, Adele should never be put next to Beyoncé or Whitney ever. At most maybe Sza or… Rihanna… maybe not even them.
Whitney has the church in her voice. Bey has the power and technicality. Same note different vocalist. Different vocal chords.
Huh? What is there to understand? White artists/groups are always compared too. Beatles & The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney & John Lennon, Madonna & Cyndi Lauper, Christina Aguilera & Britney Spears. Amy Winehouse & Adele. These are just at the top of my head Comparison when it comes to any art form is nothing new.
Whitney always and forever. The voice, no one can even come close. Her tone, pitch and head voice is untouchable. All her vocals are raw and pure, there is no studio and mic effects to make he voice sound more full. Most artist today sing along with the instrumental Whitney sang along with and on top of the instrumental. Her voice always was the #1 instrument! For me it's never a verses because no one could ever. God's gift is not the same as talent and skilled buy hard work and practice and Whitney's voice was a gift from god that will be cherished for eternity!!!
The others just don't have the fire power like Whitney that's why she's the most awarded female singer in music history ...leave it at that RIP Whitney you the GOAT ....
I agree with the fire power but I think beyonce is officially the most awarded now I just checked Google also
With this type of battle people never honestly Acknowledge that Beyoncé is mostly seen as a performer but never a vocalist she can hold her to Whitney which is what it love about her and love Whitney
I completely agree with you about Adele. I don't understand why they regard her vocals the way they do. I will say this, Whitney will FOREVER be the greatest vocalist in my opinion. However, MS. BEY is one of the greatest vocalist of all time!
Shoutout to whoever made that compilation, even I was surprised at how similar Whitney and Bey are and I think that's what people don't realize until you watch a video like this. If Beyoncé had came along first, they'd be calling her the voice.
Last thing I'll say is videos like this make me even more mad when people say Beyoncé can't sing.
She's white. Thats it
Beyonce covered I will always love you at her Revel concerts, Mrs Carter world tour and also Chime for Change concert.
She sang a few lines.
@@terryyoung316 I know
I love beyonce but whitney is something special
And bey isn't ?
@@emmalauriston4983 she never said that.
Whitney Houston - The Voice.
Whitney's body is no more yet her VOICE is still active and alive to an extend that artist that are regarded as most achievers and most talented of the recent times are being compared to Whitney's voice.
Now that screems LEGENDARY.
The initiative to measure Bey to Whitney already gives the clear picture that Whitney Houston's Voice is legendary, a true gift from God.
Whitney sang during times where there was not so much musical technology and all she needed was a mic and an audience... no special mic's, no special speakers for a specific sound, no auto tune, no echoing mic functions and etc but she was able to deliver hence we are here today comparing Whitney's voice to artists that rely on technical assistance.
I bet that even the next artist of the future generation will also have the very same comparison, where they will be comparing the extremly talented artist of their time to Whitney.
I say again, Whitney's Voice is Legendary
I def prefer BEYONCÉ. But I AM biased and I’m from the south (houston) so I just like her accent
Whitney practically owns the 4th and 5th octaves. She's easily one of the best belters up to E5/F#5; and clearly has one of the best head voices up to A5/B5 [occasionally C6]. Not to mention her dynamic control and warm, velvety timbre.
However, Beyonce is brilliant, as well.
Yal are really annoying hating on Beyoncé . Beyoncé is THEE greatest live performer ever. EVER . And She one of the only singers who literally goes all out with full choreography, and full vocals, acting ALL THAT EVERYTIME !!! And she sounds AMAZING while doing it
Whitney is a legend BUT BEYONCÉ IS ALSO AND WILL FOREVER BE A LEGEND
Y’all need to get over yourselves cause she done went to the moon a back too many times for yal to be hating with no valid critique
Preach!
Compared to Michael, its a no!
@@The_Truth- nah she better than Michael .
She dances more and dances BETTER , IN HEELS and makeup and elaborate outfits
, even while PREGNANT. All while delivering some of the best live performance vocally .
She’s far better than micheal although he’s a close second
@@alaiadreamdoll9689 No, the only thing Beyoncé has on Michael is vocals. If they were to do a dance off from scratch Michael would embarrass her.
@@The_Truth- so Crazy now they're talkin bout Beyoncé annihilate Michael and Whitney 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ohhh this generation must've been so f............ Up
I FEEL SO VERY BLESSED WHEN I LISTEN TO THE MUSIC OF WHITNEY HOUSTON, CISSY HOUSTON, DIONNE WARWICK, ARETHA FRANKLIN & DR. JUANITA BYNUM.
It's more like. look how amazingly gifted they are.
Exactly! The talent in both
Both incredibly, amazingly and outstanding vocalist. ❤❤❤ Whitney's smooth and powerful vocals and Beyonce's growling and the Arabic Notes are so Amazing 👏. We need to celebrate these Beautiful, talented black women. I just appreciate them can't compare them.
Beyonce is a lioness. That raspy high belts..only she can do that.
No disrespect for Beyonce she is a great singer, but Whitney is from another league, the greatest singer of all time in my humble opinion
En mi opinión, beyoncé es la mejor😍
I guess it would come down to preference but also technique, resonance, clarity, etc..
I love love love Beyonce, her high notes, power, and she mastered Live. Whitney is a Legend,powerful voice and the soul and texture of her voice is immaculate. Even her Star Spangled Banner is the Standard as nd no one comes close.
I agree with all of this
VOCALLY, Nobody is touching WHITNEY her range is out of this world. Her range came from heaven. Now BEYONCÉ is way theatrical as far as singing and dancing goes. Like my boy said its preference at the end of the day. 💝 but I’m Whitney all day just so you know. 😂⭐️
Beyonce is a good vocalist and excellent technical singer. With vocal agility second to none. Well, maybe second to prime Mariah Carey. Whitney Houston was the VOICE of a generation. The Eighth Wonder of the World. Her voice was likened to a strativarius. With the purest tone, best diction, amazing range, power, resonance, rolling vibrato and the best headvoice in popular music. End of story.
I agree
Whitney!
beyonce’s head voice is unmatched🙅🏾♀️
Not really
@@Reikyellah I mean yes really. Whitney of course has the better tone but Beyoncé support in her head voice is unmatched.
@@Reikyellah why not. Beyoncé has currently the best HV in pop music and one of the best overall. Pls
@@DiorD737 again, not really. 1. She only supports her head voice a note higher than Whitney’s. 2. If we’re talking “support” she’s still not unmatched. Lecresia Campbell, Deniece Williams, Maureen McGovern, Sohyang, Lisa Fischer exists.
@@Reikyellah will those names u mentioned isn’t Whitney sooo 🤣
It's not about hitting the same note whitney 's voice speaks to your spirit that's why you get chills.
Yeah this battle cant really be judge! Both are very phenomenal vocalist!! But I think it’s a preference thing like you said!! When it comes down to a decision majority falls to Whitney because she has a gifted tone!! & her vibrato and the way she uses it nobody can use notes like her she slows down and speeds up her vibrato!! Her incredible sustainability!! And ability to transition and land riffs and runs and inflect! While inflecting emotion into everything she sings!! Plus she has outstanding head notes!! Even as time went on she gained as she lost!! Her agility got even more crazy towards the end for her! Whitney just never stopped giving! I just feel these two can’t be compared!! It’s painful to do so! Lol and a insult! Two different eras! & vocal qualities! Both are loved uncontrollably!! But nippy is the all time high!! Not to take away from anyone however that queen has earned her flowers!! 🎶🎶🤦🏽♂️🤍it’s a different radiance when Whitney sings! So I say it’s definitely a tone thing!!
W H I T N E Y!
All Time Greatest!
Whitney’s Timbre though
This video only shows how Beyonce is underrated, they are amazing singers, but only one, sometimes, is recognized as great vocalist, when both are. There's no winners, there's no need of competition!
Whitneys notes from c5-e5 were brighter and healthier than beys. but bey took the belts from her at f5 and f#5.
Agree but based on what I heard Beyonce owns A4-B4,F5-F#5..Whitney owns C5-E5,G5-G#5s and if you dont know Whitney belts up to Bb5 but ppl just say her highest G#5...
@@bestvocalsbyvocalists849 whitney's highest belt is a g#5 (otherwise say where and when she belted a Bb5). she was a mezzo soprano like Bey.
Back in Whitney's Wonder years nobody could touch her it's a shame people have to see her vulnerable and moving in but each to its own fit in where you get in
