Which album is better - Prism or Beyonce?

Both Beyonce and Katy dropped their albums(Prism and Beyonce) last year, in 2013, although not at the same time, both women had their albums debut at number 1 on the Billboard charts and both their albums currently sits within Top 20 positions. So let us see which albums are better!

Katy Perry outdid herself in terms of her vocal range this time, spanning from C#3 all the way to a C6 - almost 3 octaves! Her album also boasts great songs such as Unconditionally and Dark Horse. However, I did not like the fact that she put Roar as her lead single- although it was commercially successful, I felt that she could have done a lot better if she did not rip off the single from Sara Bareilles's song Brave.

Moving on to Beyonce! Beyonce's vocal range spanned from Bb2 to C6. Her album was pretty sexual though, with lots of sexual grunts that shows that her voice has fully matured. It boasts great songs like Partition and Drunk In Love. There's another single that she released called XO, which I did not enjoy because the song was very boring for me. Nevertheless, this was her most successful as well as my most favourite album out of all the 5 albums she has released.

So for the final verdict... The winner is................ Beyonce!
Katy Perry may have two singles that topped the chart and another single that peaked in the Top 20, Beyonce had better vocals than her. Lets face it... Katy Perry can't hit a D5 belt live! I went to listen to numerous performances of Katy singing her lead single Roar live, and my, was it horrible! She avoided the high notes(points the mic to the audience) and cracks at the low notes...

Although Beyonce did not have chart toppers from her album, her lead single was successful and peaked at number 2 in the charts, plus, I have to say Beyonce's songs are getting better and better! Let's hope the next album Katy releases would be better than this.

Which album is better? - Louder or Pure Heroine?

Lea Michele's album debuted at number 4 in the Billboard charts this week, while Lorde's debut album 'Pure Heroine' peaked at number 3, but has stayed in the Top 10 in the Billboard 200 for quite some time. So let's compare both the singers' debut albums!

Firstly, I never thought that Lea's low notes(around F3) would sound good. At all. But in this debut album, she has proved me wrong. Even though it disappointed me because in its lead single, Cannonball, it showed very little powerful belts, her highest belt being at B4 in the single. Nevertheless, I am going to give this album a generally favourable grade - around B-.

Alright, moving on to Lorde's debut album, Pure Heroine. And my, is it a dark themed song with really deep lyrics. It is like a literature text, honestly, you cannot really take it at face value. Most of her songs require further exploration to her background before coming out with a legit answer to the meaning behind those weird phrasing.

Her debut album has showcased a supposed 3 octave range. However, her notes at the second octave do not sound too believable for me. I believe that she can handle the notes from C#3 to F#5, but as for the rest of the notes listed in the video, she'd probably would have a hard time doing it live. Still, I like this album and some of the songs - Royals, Team, Tennis Court as well as Glory and Gore. Overall, her music is refreshing but I still have some reservations before considering her album to be excellent. I'd give this album a B+.

Overall, I think that the better album would be Pure Heroine - I mean its so good that it's almost scary. Her sound/music is refreshing, her music has rarely been explored and her voice would take her places. I'm not saying Lea Michele's album is not good, its just not better than Lorde's album.
