Can be said to be the best two musicians who have prefromed.

Who gave the better preformance out of the two?

I am guessing many will say Beyonce who is more known over here?

I'll say Alicia, for the simple fact that she is a proper musician. And also because I love all three songs she sang.

Is the OP in a time warp or a time machine?

Alicia Keys....she is a real musician where as Beyonce is just a performer.

(and I do feel as though I have seen way too much of beyonces ass...put it away!)

Although I'm not really a fan of either of their music, given that Alicia actually writes her own I'd have to pick her.

In terms of performing I don't know why everyone loves Beyonce so much. To me she's nowhere near as good as the any of the previous diva's (whitney, maria, celine) in terms of singing ability and she has yet to sing a single 'classic' song.

As a musician, YES Alicia Keys but as a performer Beyonce.

Vocally Beyonce is a million times better than Alicia Keys. Alicia finds it hards to stay in tune shes always off key and misses notes she also strains and forces her voice. Alicia is a good musician but not a great singer shes just a good singer better than most but not one of the top vocallists. Beyonce however is an amazing singer. To whoever was saying shes not as good as mariah whitney whatever. Shes pretty damn close she has excellent belting capabilities a brilliant range very powerful and she never misses a note even when shes dancing. Shes amazing performer.

Alicia is more talented, no doubt. Beyoncé was great, too.

I think both put on great shows, but I like Alicia's music more.

But yeah...both are successful in their own right and quite frankly put the contestants to shame.

Loved both of them. Beyonce is an incredible performer - I was lucky enough to see her perform live earlier this month and boy that girl can both sing and dance and have an audience eating out of the palm of her hand.

Alicia is a musician and a great vocalist too but she is an entirely different kind of performer to Beyonce - comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges really.

Suffice to say Alicia has put in the guest star performance of the series so far and I think any other guest will be hard pushed to top it.

I'm not one who likes to compared people, because I think each person should be taken for who they are and on their own merits.

I love listening to Beyonce live, as she is one of the few singers who is actually better live than recording.

I've always liked Alicia, she has such a lovely tone to her voice, and she too is superb when singing live.

Beyoncé does the dancing & big theatrics in her shows.

Alicia sits at a piano and entertains that way.

Both have obviously different styles of performing. Same with their music.

Respect to both ladies in the performance area.

Both beautiful women. Both talented. Both different.

Alicia is an outstanding musical talent and can sing really well too.

Beyonce is one hell of a singer, she gave me goosebumps when she completely outsang Alexandra last year, but she isnt a songwriter. Not everyone in the pop industry is a songwriter too. It didnt hurt Elvis much.

So its probably not a fair comparison to have to make.

I much prefer Alicia but thats because she is far more to my taste as a singer and performer. I'm not a fan of the big belted out power ballad type so singers like Beyonce, Mariah and even Whitney don't generally do it for me. I can appreciate they are talented vocally but it's not my thing.

I like Alicia and her earlier stuff but not the songs I heard her singing last night. I like Beyonce as well.

OMG don't want to be rude but the first thing that sprung to my mind was "not so much sofreshsoclean as sodeafsounbelievable"!

Have been lucky enough to experience Alicia in concert and she's fabulous. Can only compare that to B's performance on JayZ's Fade to Black concert (and yes, it was on DVD!) but she was totally outsung by Mary J and defo didn't impress me. Personally don't rate her singing/warbling but she is a pop star in her own right. (If you get my drift ie visual performance/catchy tunes/etc all present and correct but vocals - eh, no!).

It has to be Beyonce for me. Better performer all round, and I think she has stronger vocals. She also writes most of her own stuff. Alicia seems to stick to ballads, I finde her boring. And she needs a better weave

I know them both well, but Beyonce by miles - charisma, vocals, and she's got the moves too.

Alicia is great in the studio (both recording and film), however she showed last night that her vocals can be a bit shaky live. But then we already knew that after she performed Empire State of Mind live with Jay-Z versus his performances with Bridget Kelly.

I prefer Beyonce but they are both pritty amazing.
They both seem really down to earth too which is quite rare for so called "divas"

I agree, like I said in thead Alicia can't do HALF the things with her voice as Beyonce can. Beyonce has more range, power, a better tone, and is probably the best riffter out. Show me a vocal performance from Alicia on this level and i'll personally eat my keyboard (especially 4:33-the end):

A lot of people prefer the underdog types and will probably vote for Alicia on that alone, but Beyonce is lightyears better vocally.

In any case their duet on Alicia's upcoming album should be leaking anytime soon so it should be nice to see them performing together.
