____shawnee 4,118 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Of course Beyonce definitely gets her props by anyone who knows anything about vocals, but amongst average Americans, I hear Christina Aguilera get commended a lot more than Beyonce, and I even often witness people claim Beyonce is just average. Why is this? Thinking back to Listen from Dreamgirls, Halo, Love on Top, the Superbowl, the national anthem... It's not like she never shows off her vocals. Sometimes I feel like she actually overdoes it. I don't get it. Also, be slain't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jooyoungsbae 5,281 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 omg christina always overdoes everything freakin includes 893248293482934 unnecessary notes when singing only the national anthem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftswitchsurf 12,276 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Cause she's mostly a dance track sort of lady. And she's fine with that. People don't need to know she's arguably the best female vocalist pop music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeballs 2,036 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I thought Beyonce is more respected than Christina when it comes to vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat of The Canals 8,842 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Because most of her hit songs (single ladies, irreplaceable, etc) were not vocally focused, they mostly focused on her dance and overall performance. It's not just her but Gaga too. Both Yonce and Gaga focus on performance and not vocals so people don't give them the props they deserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBadNotGood 11,616 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Idk. I love Xtina but Beyonce is just a powerhouse. Arguably one of the best pop vocalists, a great dancer, phenomenal performer. Was well known with DC and already had a ton of hits under her belt. Plus marketing differences, too. Edit: oops I read this wrong. Um Beyonce is way more respected than Xtina.

peppermint 796 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Because people tend to focus more on her performance & dancing rather than her vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puremystic 3,078 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 i used to think her voice tone was what gave her most of her singing "ability" as she sounds nice but never truly appreciated her singing as much but the end of that video.... omg her smooth as creamy peanut butter runs~!!!!! like that was velvety smooth i can't~!!!?!?!? how did she pull that off?!?! even Christina is choppy in some of her better runs..... whoa... i was moved by that... but all that aside she has a very "nice" sounding voice that is almost generic to me? where as Christina at least sounds unique? and that always gets far in my skewed opinion of singing prowess, i just love unique voices.... a la Sia -- also how dare you nonchalantly throw Christina under the bus like she's not an amazing vocalist.... *Braces for the beyhive to neg me for filth...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i sneeze kyu sneeze 742 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Because Beyonce is promoted as a performer who dances and shit and Christina as some vocal goddess (eg; the honour of singing Mulan soundtrack at a young age, The Voice judge).

jennaayy 14,875 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I can't get into Christina that much because practically all of her performances are based on her doing vocal acrobatics. It's not my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exzime. 2,080 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Christina Aguilera is definitely not more respected than Beyonce. If it wasn't for The Voice, Christina wouldn't get much references today. Beyonce is far more respected and she's even a symbol in black community, christian churches for her distinctive voice.

sarahh 2,288 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Idk. It actually took me awhile to realize how good of a singer Beyonce is. Maybe because when I think of Beyonce I think of her dance songs whereas Christina's had a lot of success with ballads. Christina also tries to show off more with her voice than Beyonce does.

Again, that's from people who don't study vocal technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImInCloud13 10,942 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Beyoncé has always been seen more as a performer than a vocalist. Xtina was always seen as a vocalist. Xtina is vocally more gifted than her. Xtina conveys emotion in her songs while Beyoncé is more plain in the way of delivering feelings. Xtina's voice is more unique and recognizable while Beyoncé's voice is ver normal it doesn't stand out like a Sia or Mariah or Celine would, Xtina has more vocally challenging songs. Xtina has been aknowledge multiple times by big names in the industry for her voice since her debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
