Christina Aguilera, Beyonce Knowles, Leona Lewis or Mariah Carey
I’m a big fan of singers who can hit top notes, do runs and riffs with there voices. It’s my kind of singing and i try to do this when i sing myself.
I have done a video on Youtube just recently asking people who do they think is the most talented between Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce and the old Mariah Carey when she could actually sing fantastic. In what order would you put these 4 in terms of talent? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfWMOAZM-aM In that video there are some high notes, runs and riffs that i like from each singer, hope you like also I know there are other's like Whitney, i even think Vonzell of American Idol is just as good. Chris Brown and Usher from the males. |

Vocally, imo, I would order them like this:
Mariah Carey Christina Aguilera Beyonce Knowles Leona Lewis Although they're all really good! Mariah's streets ahead, whilst Christina, Beyonce and Leona are quite close, imo. Whitney is a very close second for me. |

If we're talking when Mariah was in her prime then definately: Mariah, Christina, Beyonce, Leona. Going on my own personal tastes: Christina, Leona, Beyonce, Mariah (even top-of-her-game Mariah, I just was never a fan)

Christina, Beyonce and Leona can only dream of having the qualities in their voices like Mariah had in her prime. They are ALL on record on youtube praising her vocal ability, regardless of her actual music (although all three would Mariah's songs when they were younger)
NONE of the other three can belt like Mariah could, and I mean really belt, F5, F#5, G5, G#5. The extremely open, chesty and rich resonating sound has only been shown for me by Mariah. Melodically, I would say Mariah and Leona come out on top; by that the way they can change their melodies in their songs or just the raw ability to sing a melody and make it fit over chords and still keep in time. As an artist, for me Mariah wins too. I like her melodies, songs plus she writes ALL of her own songs; composes the actual melody. (if that's an important factor to you). There are plenty of videos where she just improvises a melody and quickly sings the harmony. Head voice; Christina and Leona. Extremely pure and pulsating piercing sound. Although I've rarely hear Christina execute her head voice nowadays like she used to unfortunately. Although Mariah obviously can do runs, I've always been indifferent to it. Pound for pound, if they were all forced to sing one note per syllable, Mariah's vocal qualities would shine through. I also feel alot of emotion from Mariah's voice too, whereas the other's don't make me feel anything. Here's Beyonce talking about Mariah's voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hDtrjl5oJc |

I've never been a Mariah fan - though in her prime she had a phenomenal voice, never my cup of tea.
Leona Lewis is great and probably one of the most talented vocalists to come out of the UK in a long while, however compared to Mariah, Beyonce and Christina she's weak. Christina Aguilera I love. Her Stripped album was amazing and her voice is incredible. Beyonce I adore! But I adore her entire package rather than just her voice in particular, I love her attitude and her dancing, everything about how she performs. Christina has a stronger voice IMO. Hmmmm.... I would have to go: (ON VOCALS to my taste) 1. Christina 2. Beyonce 3. Mariah 4. Leona On whole package, star quality and pop superstarness: 1. Beyonce 2. Christina 3. Mariah 4. Leona And even though I've rated Leona bottom, I love her and much prefer her to Mariah. I just don't think her vocals even compare *technically* to Mariah's. |

1: Leona (brilliant. Great range imo and great power. Her voice sends shivers)
2: Christina (how can anyone fault her vocals? Bloody amazing) 3: Beyonce (while i adore her, imo she's not as strong as ^^ but still amazing) 4: Mariah (she can hit notes but can she sing? Her voice grates on me) In a way, it's kinda wrong to compare these. They have all got different tones etc. Leona's and Christina's tones stand out most so it's hard to compare to MC and BK. |

For me, these 4 are some of my favorite singers ever.
1st - Mariah Carey: unbelievable back in the day, some of the performances take my breath away still. Most talented songwriter here too. 2nd - Beyonce Knowles: her voice is really dynamic and warm. She is currently the best live performer imo, saw her twice last year and was blown away both times. 3rd - Christina Aguilera: a very diverse back catologue, ranging from pop to soul to dance to hip-hop. Astounding live voice. 4th - Leona Lewis: the least talented here imo. Very new and still needs to prove herself to be the complete package. She should be given more freedom to write her own songs and experiment with different producers/sounds. |

I'd also like to mention Jennifer Hudson. Her voice is incredible, very emotive and she blows me away with nearly every performance.

Based on vocal ability
1) Mariah Carey 2) Christina 3) Leona/Beyonce- Can't decide But I'd say Mariah is the best by a long way. As others have said the other 3 do not come close to Mariah in her prime. Christina is a grade or 2 higher than Leona and Beyonce. Of course Leona may improve in time as she has only come out so she could get to Christina's level but she will never reach the level of Mariah, Whitney or Celine for that matter. |

Leona Lewis Mariah 'at her peak' blows everyone else away. Beyonce for me isn't the best singer. However Beyonce...blows them all away with the full package. |

I don't like Christina's voice that much (I love some of her songs, though), it's just annoys me a bit and I feel she trills a bit too much. I guess she's technically outstanding but I just don't find her voice pleasant.
I think Leona's high notes are gorgeous and very powerful, she doesn't over do it and the tone is nice. Her low notes are too breathy for my liking, though. Mariah and Beyonce are somewhere in between Christina and Leona imo. I think they ALL make great music, though, and all are obviously outstanding singers. I'm just commenting on my personal taste. |
