Of course both of these guys are SUPERB singers, but if you had to choose one, which do you prefer?????

Maxwell. I can't stand Bilal.

Vocals - Maxwell

Lyrical Content - Bilal

It should be Maxwell vs Musiq or Dwele vs Eric Roberson.

Maxwell, hands down.

Could never really get into Bilal that much, but his newest project was surprisingly good.

Maxwell.

Max

Maxwell

They are very different musicians.

I'm comparing two Bilal records against five Maxwell records.

1-Maxwell's voice is more traditionally attractive.

2-Maxwell's songs are more easily digestable.

3-Bilal's lyrics are more interesting.

4-Bilal's composition/musicality is more interesting.

and

5-Maxwell is more reliable on stage. (Though getting less so).

I like them both, for different reasons.

Maxwell - I love his voice.

Max............with Bilal a close 2nd.

Bilal.

Maxwell. No contest.

Max most definitely.

Bilal in a nutshell. His voice/material possess more edge which is right up my alley.

I like Maxwell, but his stuff is a bit safe in comparison to Bilal.

Love for Sale just didn't click with me that much. His newest one, Airtight's Revenge is cool, freaky and experimental, but he keeps that soulful style. His voice actually suits the songs on that record and that's the sole reason why it's the only album I could hear from him beginning to end.
