I admire Beyonce. She is extremely talented. I saw her show recently in DC and I was way, way, way more impressed than I thought I would be.
But Michael Jackson is something else altogether. He was one of a kind, and frankly I think we are far too cynical for there ever to be "another" Michael Jackson, or Madonna, or Prince. * * *

![]() No one else could pull this off. Hell, no one else in the music industry today could pull off Halo. ![]() Here Shanice is singing 'If I Were A Boy': If Shanice came out of semi-retirement (she's focusing on being a wife and mommy now ![]() Bey just has more public (over)exposure because she's more willing to tramp herself up for the cameras on the majority of her videos instead of letting her voice really sell her music as apposed to her body.

Yeah, sorry, but that Shanice is incredibly annoying. Halo isn't supposed to be sung at a snail's pace and it isn't supposed to have all those falsetto ad libs (there's some yes, but not THAT many gawd).
Monica? ![]() Jennifer Hudson? They're level, in my opinion. I couldn't choose one over the other. I love them both. Christina? ![]() Yes, Halo is a BIG song, but Beyonce shows restraint and variation in the verses and only really gets loud for the second part of the chorus (i can see your HALOOOO). I guess it's all a matter of whether you judge who can sing by who can belt or who can vary it up AND belt. Belting is no doubt the measurement for most people, but for me it's more about the whole voice, not just the volume or strength. That goes for pretty much all 4 of my favourite artists: Beyonce - as above Prince - dude probably has the most varied voice in pop music MJ - as above Britney - listen to "Unusual You" then "Amnesia" then "Boys" - huge variation, even if her voice is weak and she's unfortunately stopped singing live. I haven't completely listened to I Am Sasha Fierce yet, and while I agree there are some mindless songs on there, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I definitely prefer the "Beyonce" side of the CD though. Bey just has more public (over)exposure because she's more willing to tramp herself up for the cameras on the majority of her videos instead of letting her voice really sell her music as apposed to her body. Halo? If I Were A Boy? Broken Hearted Girl? Hell, even Sweet Dreams isn't that bad... Anyway, Beyonce HAS the voice so what's wrong with adding sex appeal to it as well? It's up to the audience to recognise the good from the bad and they did that with Halo. Single Ladies was only big because the dance was easy to learn. | |

I'm really suprised that people are saying that Beyonce is equal to, or even better than Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson vocally!
I'm not saying Beyonce is a bad singer, she is quite good when you compare her to the most of the weak singers on the charts, but she isn't that strong either! The way people make a big deal out of her, she may be seen as a legend in 2-3 decades! LOL I really hope that doesn't happen, unless she does something to deserve it. | |

LOL I really hope that doesn't happen, unless she does something to deserve it. she is strong, though I agree she is not as strong as she used to be as a teenager. The shit hop she does really hides her voice and comes out when she does ballads. I saw a montage of vocal clips of her best moments, and I was like shiiit she sounded like that? Her voice is still strong, but went down. | |
