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.
