Beyonce schools Britney on the art of video choreography

Oct 13, 2008, 05:56 PM | by Michael Slezak

Categories: Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion, Music, PopWatch Dance Party

Spend all the money on sets and costumes and lighting that you want, Britney, but Ms. Knowles' video kicks your video's ass, at what appears to be a fraction of the budget. (Plus, B's mechanical hand beats your sauna writhing.) Check out "Single Ladies" and "Womanizer" for yourself, then vote in our poll below. (And when you're done, click past the jump for a bonus poll from my colleague Annie Barrett; then jump over to our hot new music blog, Margeaux's Mix, to get the talented Ms. Watson's take on Britney's latest!)

you can't be serious. Beyonce makes more money, has more control of her career, a more successful acting career, executive produced Obsessed and Cadillac Records, is the first female International Artist Award recipient fr the AMA's, she sings better, sells more tickets and I Am Sashia Fierce has sold more than Circus. Beyonce's singles have done better than Britney's on the chart. All in all, if Beyonce were white, Britney wouldn't even qualify as competition...

It was my pleasure to visit your Website. I am also very Website you enjoy the article.And I also have the feeling that it was really a pity that we didn’t meet each other earlier. Because the kindness and warmth in your Website can make me completely relaxed and happy. I hope that you will visit my blog too to see if you can have the same feeling.http://www.buynikeshoes.com

zahannah i think that when beyonce came out with her new song she was hitting it and she comes up with new styles and does different stuff and just face it you cant take it because you know beyonces the best but your trying to act like you like brittany but you know you dont and brittany does the same thing and she is blaintly stiff and has nothing to her and is just stiff and she came out with the biggest hits and brittaby is a waist of space and if brittany was in london everyonw will be saying she i crap and bad language words anyway this is all i have to say because i know and everyone knows she is the crappest ever

Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 01:38 PM EST

zahannah i think beyonce is the best and other people are just getting jealous and you know you like beyonce so stop being jealous so whatever

Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 01:32 PM EST

i think the song that beyonce made was excellent and waaaayyyy more better than that piece os shi. and she is a waste of space and beyonce hit the spot people tell yhe truth you know beyone the best stop being raises so shut up from zahannah

Comparison Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 05:52 PM EST

You can tell who's the best. Who is every artist compared to? Young, old, new, hot, inside and outside of the U.S.? From what they should look like, how they should carry themselves and what type of career they should have. Who CONSTANTLY is THE ONE PERSON THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS FROM EVERY ARTIST, EVERY LABLE AND EVERY GENRE?

BEYONCE aka SASHA FIERCE.

LMFAO Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 05:49 PM EST

When did Britney enter Beyonce's lane? Brit's been doing her for years and Beyonce's definitely been holding down the title for 12+ years. Beyonce is a BUSINESS. Britney is product of her record company that appeals to young girls and boys. Beyonce is a SINGER. Britney is Britney. Beyonce RUNS HER CAREER. Britney's still finding her way. Beyonce is requested by ICONS to sing with them, Britney can get a hot producer. They don't even have the same business contracts - Beyonce is a PARTNER in Sony. Beyonce is THE BOSS in all her endeavors AND SHE JUST SO HAPPEN TO BE UBER TALENTED. I'm going to stop here before I start crying because I'm lmfao at this topic.

Real Talk Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 05:44 PM EST

This poll is voted on by Britney stans who have more than enough time whereas Beyonce has young fans and older fans who don't have the time to vote. The author of this article let's it be known who's better, but he let the tweens have their say to. Beyonce is better hands down.

bottom line Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 08:12 PM EST

The poll says it all: 67% think Britney has the sexier video. Argue all you want people, Britney is legendary ^^

natalie Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 05:01 AM EST

But dont get me wrong, i like Beyonce too. I think Beyonce's dancing is way way better than Britney, but why are you comparing them? They're like two different artists with different genres. Let them be.

natalie Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 04:54 AM EST

Yeah Beyonce dances better than Britney, but don't bring Britney down!!! How can you all be so judgmental in saying she's a horrible mother? You have to see the other side of the story. Anyway, EW and the other people obviously hates her guts so they compare her to other artists (such as Beyonce). But so what? Go britney and just show them what you got! She may not be the most talented, but she's a good performer! Amazing comeback, i must say.

kennedy Campbell Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 08:18 PM EST

haha...to some of the comments..britney better dancer? are you kidding? and the professional dancers here voting that? please..everytime i see britney dance it reminds me of a cheerleader..she gives us cheerleader moves...im sure beyonce can out dancer her whether it be freestyle dancing or choreographed. and when it comes to singing..beyonce hands down..shutup to the haters saying she oversings..she gives us that aretha franklin type of singing because its r/b mixed with pop.. ..and the fact that beyonce can actually sing live and dance around on stage..the only reason britney is number one or will surpass beyonce is because she is blond...but singers with weak voices dont last..i honestly dont know how madonna has..well b/c she reinvents herself..but she can barely sing live...it just goes to show that u dont have to sing live or know how to sing to win people over. and before i gave the dancing queen title to britney..id pass it on to ciara..ive seen her do way more types of dance

akiraleal Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 01:01 AM EST

The Queen is Madonna!!! She received a world award for biggest selling female!!!Beyonce is just starting, and i have to give her props on her last tour it was kinda boring, but had its good moments. And for a black artist to sing in spanish. She has given christina aguilera some competition. She has a very good accent. Her new Album is really good. But yoy have to give credit to britney blackout was awesome as are all of her albums. In sales madonna and britney represent the U.S really good. Not even mariah is as popular as them two in the world. I think beyonce is better known than mariah. Bottom Line!! madonna is the Queen and Britney is the pricess. Maybe later Beyonce will join them. She still needs more Albums as a solo Artist.

Ana Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 04:04 PM EST

Jenny - I agreed with Caty, you are a racist and Beyonce dances a lot better than Britney in this video!!

Caty Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 01:07 PM EST

Jenny - GET YOUR RACIST HATING SELF BACK UNDER THE BUS THAT RAN OVER YOU.

Beyonce is an unbelieveable dancer and the GUY THAT CHOREOGRAPHED THIS ALSO DID JANET'S ROCK WIT U AND MICHELLE'S WE BREAK THE DAWN. THIS DANCE ROUTINE HAS CAUSED A PHENOMENON WORLD WIDE AND ONLY BEYONCE CAN DO THAT.

Jenny Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 11:59 AM EST

Okay all I have to say watching beyonces video is 'its like watching an animal let out of its cage' lol she crazy!! she over does it on her singing and is a nut case on her dancing. I think she acts like a retard when dancing. Now over to britney...when she dances in her video she makes it look professional and easy....liking the style. Eventhough I am a christina aguilera fan. Nobody cares about the singing cos beyonce just shouts...waste of space...her music is rubbish and the only reason she selling any records cos black ppl buying em.

Tap Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 12:42 PM EST

I'm a dancer and have to go with Beyonce. Britney's videos are all the same - dancing with girls/guys in set up rooms naked and writhing on something. Britney just seems like a rerun. Beyonce brings heat and diversity every time and if I needed someone on my team, it would be Beyonce.

Talent Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 12:39 PM EST

DENISE, CALM DOWN - LMAO. Beyonce said herself she was on YouTube and saw Bob Flosse's wife and the other two ladies and wanted to do her interpretation of that. The LAST 3 didn't come from him - lmao. Also, what makes Beyonce better is that she studied and does all styles of dance - hip hop, jazz, salsa, ballet, african, etc. This is an easy argument - Brit is Brit, but will NEVER be Beyonce.

DEnise Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 03:45 AM EST

BRITNEY!!!! so beyonce may have a better voice BUT britney is the queen of pop FOR REAL...
the last 3 of BEYONCE's video's she ripped her Idea from the big BOB FOSSE..not even her idea!!!!..so0o those video's dont even get her credit..

and as i professionall dancer...
britney is a better dancer then beyonce:)

hands down!

Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 08:47 PM EST

BEyonce is number 2 on world charts..
Britney is number 3.

womp.

Talent Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 04:29 PM EST

J.C.L. - You made an exact point, but it's toward the wrong person. Britney is the one that gets a free pass. Had an black female celeb gone through what Britney's gone through and is continuing to go through would've gotten the passes Britney's gotten. Britney's the "look at me" person each time she steps out in public without panties? Are you kiddin' me? She's even in her video naked. If that's not reaching what is?

Beyonce has Brit beat hands down - not only does she hold all of Britney's talent in her pinky Britney's video is VERY TYPICAL. It's the same setup with girls and the guys dancing changing scenes. It doesn't even show the man as a womanizer, but Britney comes off as the man chaser.

Beyonce's video actually shows talent. I could throw on a wig, run to different scenes and take my clothes off without singing. That's Britney.

Jay Cee Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 08:43 AM EST

Absolutely and completely disagree with your opinion - couldn't be more opposite to mine if you tried. Britney definitely has Beyonce beaten hands down - it has sexiness, humour and fun. I find (and this is only my humble opinion) Beyonce gets a free pass in whatever she says and does and her videos seem to be very "look at me aren't I great". Just sayin.
J.C. L.

Its MEEE Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 04:40 PM EST

Brittany doesn’t even stand a chance next to my girl Beyonce! I mean seriously…there is no competition! Beyonce is the s**t!

clifton73 Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 11:46 AM EST

Bottom line......Beyonce' is the SHIZNIT!!!!!

Comparing Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 05:50 PM EST

It's really sad that U.S. artists are pitted against each other when there's enough room for everyone. Purchase everyone's albums! Other countries don't do that and we encourage our artists to keep giving us good music (the talented ones anyway). We'd never tell an artist of Beyonce's calibur to "go away". It's disrespectful and unnecessary. Also recognize that Beyonce has more talent in her pinky than all the other artists combined because she can give it to you live just like you're listening to the album and she can dance. The others aren't on that level.

Facts Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 05:47 PM EST

YEBI - Rihanna's sales and #1's are mostly from her 3rd and most successful album. You can't compare her sales and singles to Beyonce who's just on her 3rd solo album, but won 5 grammy's from the first and have #1's with DC3. Not the same and definitely not the same talent.

yebi Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at 11:16 AM EST

To be objective,even though I prefer BS to BK,BK is a way better vocalist than BS and is ever improving vocally.
Dancing wise BK could give BS a runn for her money.
Sales-wise it's unfortunate that BK came out in 2003 at a time when people weren't really buying CDs but globally BS is way more popular and successful.
Rihanna is more successful than BK in terms of singles both in the US and globally.
BK is still more talented.
Womanizer is a bigger hit and I doubt if BK's IF I WERE A BOY and SINGLE LADIES can measure up on the hot 100.

MILLZ! Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 12:34 AM EST

SINGLE LADIES IS #1 TOO ON ITUNES!!!!!

Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 09:53 PM EST

Beyonce's song is "if i were a boy" is number one on ITUNES!!!
BRitney's song WOMANIZER IS NUMBER 2!!
and BRITNEY WAS RELEASED FIRST HAHAHA!


GO BEYONCE!

gab Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 06:34 PM EST

MILLZ! Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 11:05 PM EST

LA LA, please dont compair beyonce to rihanna she wants to be beyonce, but never will, she's a gummick, she's given a sound,a look, and tha "hits"

"unbrella" written by THE DREAM
"take a bow" by Ne-Yo
"Disturbia" by Chris Brown
she has no talent -point , blank ,peiod!...AND Live she sounds like a rat lol

and as for britney im done talking about her! yes, she sold millions and millions BUT! where is da reconition? everyone sayin she's this and that but she only have 1 grammy(chuckle)and that show that the music industry dosnt think she this "Icon" that all of of yall says she is, and dosent respect her. She's only the person she is because of alllllll the lil-tweeny bubble gum-pop teens that ran and got a copie of Baby one more time and Ooops! so stop talking about what brit was, lets face da facts"She will never sell "diamond" albums again.THAT ERA IS DONE!

Lala Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 08:33 PM EST

hahaha poor Beyonce, she only gets mentioned because they're comparing her to Britney.

I think it's obvious who the big star is, BRITNEY.

Beyonce is just some R&B singer with no impact, her record sales are crap and she has no hits, even Rihanna has more hits than her LOL

picho Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 08:24 PM EST

The Queeeen is back, stap out Britney the Queeen is about to sting.i think that Beyonce`s single ladies i hot, i think that Sasha has taken over the whole of that video. as for Britney i don`t have any coment she should go ang get new movements because those on her video really suck.

Sash-fierce Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 08:55 AM EST

Mary Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 08:37 AM EST

Britney is a horrible mother. I will never give her one cent of my money. (It does matter.)

Beyonce seems like a nice person, and she's talented, so good for her.

Shanice L. Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 09:51 PM EST

beyonce is the greatest.face it.
i adore britney spears and i love
the fact that she did not hesitate to come back out,considering what she has previously went through.but let the fact remain the facts.white or black.hispanic or asian.race at this point does not matter.beyonce:the Queen B;takes this.hands down with a silver crown.Being a Realist.White or Black.Beyonce compared to Britney;is like almost IMPOSSIBLE.#1.they sing two different genres.#2.Britney is not beyonce.#3.Beyonce damn sure aint britney.Instead of concentrating on the eye color and hair color and skin complexion.look at the obvious.Beyonce singss [wayyyyy] better than britney.her voice changes in ranges.you hits notes out of this world.but britney...she is just average.i mean atleast her voice is.no exaggeration.beyonce is one of the top best singing female artists there is.Dont get me wrong;Britney is talented too.I mean.she cant be selling for nothing.But same goes for Beyonce.She had a World Wide Tour and it Sold Out! beyonce is a beast. its been that way since destiny's child.and thats how it is going to remain. her voice and her style is immaculate.and it cant be compared or duplicated.its no need to be so critical about either one of them.because regardless of what we say or think numbers dont lie.well shitt,neither do fans.so just stop trying to knock people for their talent.because last time i check. we all juss tryna come up. why put eachother down?

Karen Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

I like both of them, they're ok, but britney OWNS this

I feel like I've seen Beyonce's video already and the song is just not good, this video of beyonce looks like those videos she made for the b'day dvd, it's very insipid.

Britney's video on the other hand is very entertaining and the song is addictive and sounds very modern. A winner.

Beyonce who? Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 12:09 AM EST

Sorry for my english not very good im not united states i live in bolivia and we love britney here i know beyonce for mtv videos television but she is not very famous here she music is not popular and we dont care about her

britney yes britney is very famous here even my gran mother know she is jaja but no beyonce so i will vote for britney video

Hollywood Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 12:00 AM EST

LMAO Beyonce best paid actress? what are you people smoking???? The best paid actress is Julia Roberts, Beyonce can't even act and nobody takes her seriously in the world of acting, as for singing, her debut album didn't sell 35 million, seriously put down the pipe, Dangerously in Love sold like 7 million worldwide.

Beyonce is a nobody worldwide, she only has success in America while Britney is universal, I think that both of them are trashy, unoriginal sluts, just 2 record label puppets, but to try to pass Beyonce as "superior" is just ridiculous, she wishes she had half of what Britney has, Britney is a true living legend despite being untalented as hell, but she's an icon and you people will have to deal with it, Beyonce never made it to Britney separs' league of fame and success so please stop lying, she may be famous among blacks but she's not the superstar her fans are making her out to be, wake up.

Hilary Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 11:53 PM EST

LOL the only reason Beyonce's cheap ass video was even posted here was to bring Britney down. Pathetic. Beyonce is old news and nobody cares about her videos, nothing against the girl but it's true, rihanna stole her thunder and she never was at Britneys level so why are you even comparing them? Beyonce = OUT

Ames Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 10:24 PM EST

I think this has gotten away from the original argument of Mr. Slezak--that Beyonce's video is better than Britney's. I think the answer is very obvious--B wins cause she actually dances in her video. Obviously, vocals are laid in over the video, so we can't really judge that. I'll just say this: singing thru AutoTune like Britney does is not a way to boost consumer confidence in an artist's voice.

Realist1 Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 06:45 PM EST

In response to "Ben" -
There's nothing racist about what "RF" wrote. She IS a blonde haired, blue eyed skank. If Beyonce was this type of public person, hell, she'd be a blonde haired, brown eyed skank but she's not! It's truth and some unintelligent people have a hard time understanding this.

Realist***1 Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 06:31 PM EST

Please. These videos don't justify who's a better artist. It's simple. Beyonce is a better performer AND singer. Britney still thinks she's in the Mickey Mouse Club.

J Moses Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 04:56 PM EST

I don't understand why you peeps are using videos, to see who is a more talented artists. Don't you know how many takes they do before the finished product? Put it this way.
Take away all the props, choreography, voice over....
Put the two on stage..Who would blow who out of the water?

Beyonce wins, HANDS DOWN!

Classy Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 04:41 PM EST

BOMT sold 14 million in the U.S. And OIDIA sold 10 million (I think) in the U.S. You need to sell 10 mill in the U.S. to be diamond status. Britney has 1 (maybe 2) diamond albums, Beyonce has absolutely none. Selling 11 million in the world does not earn you diamond status, unless you sold 10 of those 11 million in the U.S. Millz just stop. Beyonce is hot, but Britney is legend. Deal with it-Beyonce has to.

Classy Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 04:37 PM EST

@MILLZ You have some nerve to name call. Diamond status is not based on worldwide sales. DIL is not diamond. Even Beyonce would tell you that. If you want eveidence of my claims (which are widely known by most people anyway), you can check the facts on google or wikipedia or billboardmagazine.com or The Guiness Book of World Records. It's not that hard to fact check, if you want to dispute my claims. I wouldn't waste my time though b/c they can't be disputed.

MILLZ! Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 03:11 PM EST

Fact! yeah Dangerously in Love sold 4.2million in u.s. alone, worldwide she sold 11 million get ya facts right"FACT" Baby one More time and oops' went diamond but not in u.s. alone, so dont make it seen like that.

BJohnson Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 05:05 AM EST

This debate could go on forever. Yeah, Britney sold her albums, yeah she used to be able to dance. Womanizer, she really walked thru it in sexy clothes and let the dancers do their thing. Beyonce is talent. She's also has kept her world as private as the tabloids will allow. Even though she's famous, you know when she's not "on" she wants to be just a good daughter, wife, and maybe one day a good mother. She's not out getting knocked up by some wannabe dancer with 2 or 3 kids before hers. Beyonce is class, Britney is just that trainwreck you don't want to watch, but you have to see it happen.

Fact Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 02:16 AM EST

"Dangerously In love" album has sold 4.2 million copies to date in the United States. 4 platinum
"Baby, ne more time" 14 Platinum (Diamond)
"ooPS i DID IT AGAIN" 10 platinum (Diamond)

RF Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 12:45 AM EST

Well, Ben, I apologize if I sound racist however, I am just stating the obvious.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 11:41 PM EST

Beyonce is QUEEN!

Ben Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 11:38 PM EST

Wow, RF, that was a pretty racist rant and inditement against people who voted for Britney's video. I like Beyonce's song better, but the video is pretty weak. Womanizer isn't Britney's best video, but it kept my attention better, and as the debate was about who had the better video, I went with Britney. Beyonce's was just too blah, like watching someone dance at the club instead of doing a choreographed routine.

RF Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:32 PM EST

Well, judging from the voting, it looks as if the blonde hair blue eyed skank is the winner. Even though Beyonce's video choreography looked as if there was much more work involved, the masses pick Britney. Does anyone else seem that this was a little one-sided? Britney Spears' actual video was a little boring coming from a male point of view. There was little hot about it. Who cares about what WAS, what about what IS? Beyonce is waaaay more consistent with the whole music thing anyways. Britney came, ruled all the white guys and girls hearts, and went away to do her skank thing. She's crappy and washed up and you guys are backing her up. You didn't have her back when she was "FAT" and a crack head and a terrible mother. But now she lost some weight and went to court and got visitation rights so now everything is just peaches and cream. I guess THAT is what America is all about.

MILLZ! Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 04:34 PM EST

sorry for my crazy typo's

MILLZ! Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 04:32 PM EST

And CLASSY stop making all of these false thing about britney being this and that because she'd really not, show mw some proof then ill beleive u till then shut up because i have a video that can prove that everything said about beyonce is true

MILLZ! Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 04:30 PM EST

Classy is braindamaged or somthing to say beyonce dont have any diamond albums! dangerously in love sold 11 illion (diamond status) LOL AND! she headlined her first tour in 2003 as a solo artist,where do u think the DVD Live at Wembly came from! and while with destiny's child she headlined 3 tours so get ya facts right....and everytime bee perfomed on a award show its always said to be the best performance of the night! and who cares about how hits a vid get on mtv, she only got that many hits because people r curious to whats da big hype about and if its comback worthy(wich it not) I'd rather watch Slave for U over and over then to watch this bull.

Classy Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 02:16 PM EST

Also, I don't see how I can be living in the past, when alot of the accomplishments I listed have to do with the present...

Classy Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 02:13 PM EST

I've not tried to equate sales with talent. I said the numbers substantiate my claim that Britney is the Queen of Entertainment-I said nothing of her necessarily being the most talented. There are artists who I think are musically more talented than Britney and Beyonce, but it's still obvious to me that Britney is the centerpiece of American entertainment. If we stripped everything away Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson would both blow Beyonce out of the water, but that doesn't change the fact that Beyonce is the bigger entertainer. That goes triple for Britney. And yes, there are fans who will purchase multiple copies, I don't see that as being any different than artists who re-release their cds knowing that a certain percentage of people who already bought their album will do so again to make it seem like they've sold alot, and Beyonce is among the desperate artists who've done this. And who cares if she made a vid for all of her tracks? That's no accomplishment.

Class :
You keep talking about Britney's fame. Let's talk about actual talent for a second. LOL.
Beyonce did her video in one take...She is THE DIVA of our generation.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:09 PM EST

Put it this way.
Take away all the props, choreography, voice over....
Put the two on stage..Who would blow who out of the water?

Thanks.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:06 PM EST

Britney = Crackhead.
Beyonce = Class.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 11:52 AM EST

To Classy :
First, you all are living in the past. The days of Britney selling 10 million albums is over. The sex kitten teenager that white America adored is long gone. She is now a pimple faced mother of two with a jaded past and a penchant for taking her clothes off when times get tough (2007 MTV Awards and her new video).

Britney fan base will buy 10 copies of her cd to make it seem as if the public still cares. Don’t believe me? Check out her fan sites and see that’s exactly what they tell them to do and they do it. E! News covered that with her last release. The droves of fans in line and most were buying multiple albums.

Beyonce has earned her stripes these last few years. She works constantly. Put out multiple albums, shot 10 videos, movies, you name it. Our BEYONCE deserves and has fought for her success while Britney has been given a golden pass to fluck up and yet still come back and have radio support her.

QUEEN BEE!

Beyonce has two single ladies videos posted on youtube..
And another video titled "if i were a boy"
Her total views are nearly 1 million and a half. Her vids have been on youtube 3 days less than britneys...

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 11:47 AM EST

Records sales mean nothing regarding to actual talent. Especially now a days.
Period.
Beyonce is very RARE in this day and age.

Classy Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 11:14 AM EST

And, we can argue all day about why Britney intrigues so many. Haters always want to say it's b/c of her potential "trainwreck" ability. Her video on MTV has not garnered now 2.4 million views (while Beyonce's is hovering at about 300k views lol) b/c people thought it was going to be a trainwreck. Her song is not no.1 on the billboard charts b/c she's a trainwreck. Britney has always been a figure of interest before, during and after her image troubles. No matter how good or bad she's doing people are more into her-and apparently her music- than any other celeb. I'm not knocking Beyonce's talent or "class" or whatever, but Britney is the Queen of Music Entertainment. Beyonce only reigns in the court of contemporary R and B. I have numbers (i.e. facts) to sunstantiate my claim that Brit is the Queen of Entertainment. All you are offering is specualtion and opinion. Britney is Queen b/c she is the most in-demand popstar in the world,and has been for years. It's as simple as that.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 11:02 AM EST

I'm not one for rehab REJECTS!
so I'll go Beyonce on this one.

Classy Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:58 AM EST

I meant "sell a very good amount of records" in my previous example. Pardon the typos.

Classy Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:56 AM EST

Selling records doesn't mean anything? What planet are you from? If you offered a record executive a choice between to artists to sign and said "I have one that is going to be one of the best-selling female artists of all time, and she's going to get a very good amount of awards, and, I have another one who is going to win an onslaught of awards and sell a of very good amount of awards...who do you wanna sign?" The record exec would tell the second artist to hold the door for the first. The one who is going to make them the most money. Britney has done loads more than just lip synch. She has set the performance standard for this generation. The longevity argument remains to be seen. They've both been in the industry about the same amount of time, and so far Britney is still running on more steam. There are loads of artists who could sing better than Britney and Beyonce, and who knows where most of them are now?

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:46 AM EST

Beyonce is a legend, truly loved the video amd the dancing is off the hook. I cannot wait to purchase the cd and hopefully see her live onstage. Britney video sucked no rhythm,no originality her attempt to dance was a waste of time and brit def cannot sing. Beyonce is soooo multi-talented and beautiful.

Britney has a bigger fan base than Keyshia Cole, Ciara and Jazmine Sullivan combined. Do you think she is more talented than those ladies too? Fluffy pop music has always had a bigger fan base than every music genre out there. Fluff pop is adored by white teen girls and they have loads of cash to spend. Just ask The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. Your dumb *** line of reasoning basically puts Britney above just about every great singer that ever lived including Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin. The size of one’s fan base is NO indication of talent and neither is record sales. Dummies like you need to never speak again. Please, never again.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 09:54 AM EST

People are interested in Britney because they like seeing TRAIN WRECKS...She is all publicity but where's the talent???...
She can't sing, she can't act...She can hardly dance anymore...What does she have left besides the paparrazi?..

Britney is known for being slutty/crazy...Beyonce is known for being a hard working, well disciplined, respected, classy artist.

Britney may be more famous than Beyonce, but only Because BEYONCE is smart enough to keep her "private" life PRIVATE!.

Britney can easily be replaced...There is going to come a pretty girl with an average voice, and awesome dance moves that is going to take her spot. Period.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 09:50 AM EST

What has Britney done other than lipsycned on stage with choreographed dancers?? Britney is ONE SIDED!

Beyonce is VERSATILE!


Britney is no match for Beyonce...and tHATS A FAcT! Even britney fans know this...LOL.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 09:48 AM EST

Anyone who thinks that Britney is superior OBVIOUSLY has brain damage. :/

Queen Bee.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 09:46 AM EST

To Classy :


Beyonce is Queen.
Britney is Princess.

Beyonce has set records that Britney will never be able to. Beyonce has done it all. All britney has done was sell records...And she sold those records at a time when people actually BOUGHT albums!!! Beyonce started her solo career in 2003, at that time LIMewIre(piracy) was and still is "in" LOL.

Beyonce HAS longevity. Britney does not. In about 20 years, Beyonce is still going to be performing/singing...Britney is just..egh.

BEyonce is definately more talented than Britney. And Britney even knows this...LOL. IF you put britney and beyonce on stage, BEYONCE would blow britney off STAGE..but then again BEYONCE would blow britneys voice over track off stage. lol.


Record sales?? SO WHAT! that means nothing!!!!!!!

Mariah sold more albums thank Whitney but EVERYONE know WHITNEY had the better voice. LOL.


Britney broke more records BECAUSE britney has released 5 ALBUMS! Beyonce has released only 2!

Queen BEE!

Classy Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 03:38 AM EST

Furthermore, you know Britney is the Queen of Music Entertainment when her "worst-selling" album ever (Blackout) is certified platinum. Also, two of her 3 singles (which she hardly promoted) went platinum. MTV said "Blackout" was their most-streamed album ever with more than 1 million downloads. MTV said so many people were streaming her album at the same time that their server crashed for 17 minutes-and it had NEVER crashed before. "Blackout" also won Best International Album at the NRJ Music Awards and Best Album of the Year for Billboard magazine. She swept the VMAs, and is likely going to win even more awards for an album that she didn't even tour for or promote. Britney can sell a milli w/o even trying-without even doing any interviews or having a manager or a stylist or performing more than once! Beyonce may be in a league of her own, but it is one far below Britney's.

Classy Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 03:19 AM EST

Beyonce is awesome, but Britney is undeniably the bigger star with the larger fan base. But, if you wanna run stats we can play that game. Britney is the Queen of Music Entertainment and these are the facts that support this obvious truth:
-Britney is the 8th best-selling female artist of ALL time. (Beyonce is no where near even the top 10)
-Britney has an album that went diamond. (Beyonce will never have a diamond album, unless she has one customarily encrusted)
-Britney has been selling out arenas worldwide since she was 18, after only 2 years in the industry (Beyonce's first headlining world tour came when she was 25, after a decade in the industry)
-Every award show Britney performs on or attends posts some of it's highest ratings ever (The 2006 VMAs and the 2008 Grammys, where Beyonce was the much-hyped performer posted some of the lowest ratings in the shows' histories)
People are more interested in Britney, and Beyonce will never touch the records she's set.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:33 AM EST

What artist has made a MUSIC video for EVERY SINGLE on their past album (b'DAy)?
ONLY BEYONCE!

She is in a league of her OWN. Even britney knows that! LOL. Britney fans just want the old britney back, but fact of that matter is...SHE will NEVER be the same.

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:30 AM EST

I LOVE BRitney and i LOVE Beyonce...
IF anything, BRitney and CIARA need to be compared because they both have "okay" voices and can dance their asses off, well britney could dance her ass off. lol.

Beyonce is in a league of her own. No one like her.

Tell me someone that has received the international icon award, that is under 30?
That has walked a fashion runway, along with naomi campbell?
That has been on countless magazine covers?
That has sold millions of records worldwide?
Is a romodel for young girls?
Has had countless photoshoots?
Can SING and DANCE live?
That has been in 5 movies?

That made 80 Million dollars this past year?

And has done this ALL under the age of 30?
LOL. NO ONE!

Beyonce is the definition of DIVA of our time. She is Queen. LOL.

MILLZ! Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:22 AM EST

100% with u

MILLZ! Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:22 AM EST

well put

Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:19 AM EST

The only reason why BRitney is winning in the POLLS is because, EVERYONE wants to see her comeback and do well! That is the only reason...BEyonce has been consistent and continues to RISE TO THE TOP! Britney can NEVER come for Beyonce just for the simple fact that she made the mistake of getting with a bum and ruining her career. She's a mother now, it's time to put your CLOTHES ON BRITNEY And BE A ROMODEL...but wait, thats how she got famous...


Put it this way..Without the gimmicks, the stage lights, the voice over in hte studio, the back up dancers...what does britney have??? take that away from BEyonce and she still has her natural beauty and VOICE!

Did you see britneys performance at the VMA's? Fans were disappointed BECAuse BRitney was known for her sexyness and dance sskills..She was out of shape at the VMAS and wasnt dancing, therefore her performance SUCKED,

BRITNEY IS PRINCESS!
BEYONCE IS QUEEN!!!

MILLZ! Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 11:59 PM EST

ur not making any since? cum on, u know its true, if u look everyones post you'll see that britney fans dominate and thats because of the link, u know its true, and u sound retarded! who said anything about her video not being #1 or whatver,(the poll is about who's vid is better) when beyonce's vid's are available on itunes it'll be #1 as well(i aint trippin') and yes she went from 96 to 1(congrats)(and thats only because of the sales)DUH!!!BUT! will she stay there for 17 weeks like crazy in love? i dont think so, Its a shame that she had to have a meltdown to get a #1 single, because we all know Blackout was a failure lol! no excuses, just keepin it real

Classy Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 09:57 PM EST

Excuses, excuses. Britney won, Beyonce lost. It might be a theme this season, so get used to it. I guess "Womanizer" just broke records and went straight to number one on the billboard charts b/c of a "link on her website" as well? And what's the excuse for her song being number one on itunes (even after they inexplicably restricted it's sale in the u.s. for 2 out of the 5 days it's been available)? And what's the excuse for her video being number one on itunes? And what is the excuse for her video getting almost 2 million hits on mtv.com and beyonce's 2 videos combined only getting about a tenth as mnay hits? Get a reality check: Britney is Boss. You can check all the stats.

hais hassan Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 08:55 PM EST

beyonce is better and am glad britney is back on track after her few years of problems love beyonce's video and choreography better xxxxxx

MILLZ! Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 08:29 PM EST

like I SaID once already!CLASSY the reason and ONLY reason is because britney fans have an advantage because there a link to this poll on her website, if beyonce had a link she would have da advantage too.

Classy Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 08:05 PM EST

Beyonce fans appear to be even mor epsycho than Britney fans! Britney won the damn poll. The more you all ramble about Beyonce's accomplishments, the worse you're makin gher look. If she's so great, why did Britney just mop her ass in this contest?

MILLZ! Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 08:02 PM EST

Britney would NEVER be asked to walk a runway, because she is TOO damn SHORT.
Beyonce walked the runway for fashion relief, has been on countless magazine covers...In several movies.

Beyonce has DONE it ALL. She is the true DIVA of our generation!

Britney, Who?

For aLL the stupid people that Don't CALL Beyonce an ICon!

She has an international ICON AWARD TO PROVE IT! WHERE IS BRITNEYS????

Hm...
Britney is good. She can't sing but she can dance...
Beyonce is great. Disciplined. Knows how to keep her "private" life private. Can actually sing. Naturally Beautiful.

Beyonce can do any britney song with a voice over especially...
Britney can NEVER do a Beyonce song. LOL.
My vote goes for Queen Beyonce.
