[Numero Veinticinco]

Horrible piercing voice. Well. The GF is a hell of a drug

Far superior? In what way? 

In as much as I enjoy listening to it. Whereas, I can’t bear to listen to Beyoncé, whose voice, to me, is like nails on a blackboard.

Oh, got ya. I enjoy listening to Biggie’s voice more than Streisand, though I’m not sure I’d argue it’s superior. 
 

Ah well, at least Beyoncé has won. 

[Duff Man]

Beyonce's completely over the top warbling is one of the most irritating sounds known to man, but I don't think I've ever listened to a single Streisand song, so it's Beyonce on the strength of Crazy In Love.

[Duff Man]

If it was Mecha-Streisand, however..

[KMD7]

I think Streisand has a far superior voice to Beyonce, at her peak it was pretty much flawless.

Fucks sake, can i change my vote?

I think Beyonce suffers with us lads the way Brad Pitt often suffers, their looks overshadow the fact they're clearly talented and that they don't get enough credit from some quarters. 

 

Beyonce is increasingly annoying but her singing voice is unreal (she's supposed to be good live by all accounts). I remember watching her on the X Factor years back, the finalists (Alexandra burke in this case) used to duet with a well known singer and the difference, as you'd expect, is off the scale. When it comes to talent show 'talent' and real talent that's been honed for years, there's no comparison - in any field. Cowell unleashed oceans of such mediocrity on us which has gradually diluted what talent and fame actually should mean.

She's definitely talented no doubt about that. 

[Duff Man]

If she knocked all the unnecessary vibrato on the head she'd be a lot less offensive. That said I don't like a lot of her stuff in general, but yeah, she's obviously incredibly talented, like.

[Section_31]

Beyonce in Bootylicious is the most exemplary depiction of womanhood I've ever seen, I think the first time I saw it on telly the fire brigade and coast guard both had to be called to remove me from the couch as I was encased in my own spaff. 

 

Imagine going out with one of the other two and she kept turning up on nights out? You'd probably kill yourself. 

 

 

[Duff Man]

She looks amazing in Crazy In Love:

 

 

 

Speaking of which, Jay-Z defo deserves a mention in the Punching above their weight thread, if he hasn't already.

[easytoslip]

Like that over the top warbling on I'm a Survivor, not sure if Beyonce is in that, but that has to be one of the worst shit I've heard. 

Whoahohawhoah Whoahohawhoah, can fuck off.

I think she's the one who's done best out of the deal, he's a billionaire isn't he and one of the top three producers in the world? No coincidence her career rocketed when they hooked up. Before him it was her dad calling the shots I think. Also, I get the impression she doesn't put out much.

I would give my left arm to go out with Kelly. Michelle is underrated too.

 

I fucking love Destiny's Child.

[Code]

Beyonce have sold around 120 million records alone and 60 millions together with Destiny’s Child.

 

She has got it all, she is stunningly beautiful, has a great voice, is a great live performer and like someone said, she is the biggest icon in the music industry and she has been that for the last 10 years.

 

She should win this competition, but the final against Alica Keys will be tough. 
 

I cant get over how absolutely amazing she looks in this video though.

That would explain why he was playing away (allegedly).

I'd be alright with it, to be honest.

I remember thinking Kelly Rowland looked nice in the video for the song she did with that dick-head who wore a plaster on his face - Nelly, I think. Other than that, I’ve never been into Destiny’s Child.

Did you steal that review from the Guardian? 

[johnsusername]

I think this thread needs some Streisand love - am I the only one who thought she was a looker in her younger days? (I realise this is a talent comp).

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Can Streisand do this?

Absolute stunner in them. Beadle thought so too by the looks of it
