Beyonce is a natural soprano. Her voice is far too bright naturally to be a mezzo and her zona di passaggio is also very clearly soprano. Her voice only became a mezzo after her multiple pregnancies (and miscarriages).

[@dereklong7757]

@@KajiVocals Beyonce has always been a mezzo- soprano… A singer isn’t considered a voice type just because she can hit a certain note…. You generally can figure out what type of soprano someone is based on the upper belts and the tessitura… actually to be more precise shes a coloratura mezzo soprano

[@KajiVocals]

@@dereklong7757 Actual mezzo-soprani voices are dark, rich voices. Beyonce even when darkening was not a particularly low or dark or rich voice in her prime. Her voice only started to sound more mezzo-ish after multiple pregnancies and miscarriages. Those tend to cause a hormonal release which usually is known to lower the voice. Pregnancies on average cause the voice to lower by around 1 to 2 semitones. There are many studies on this. Same happens with miscarriages. If Beyonce was truly always a mezzo, she’d have been a contralto by now because of all those changes… These are several real mezzos. Listen and learn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZO3pH2Aqp5pr7c For operatic mezzos Elena Obraztsova and Oralia Dominguez are great. Fedora Barbieri too although her top range was poor.

Keke is amazing. But, this video definitely didn’t show Beyonce’s best examples in almost every category while it was the best for KeKe’s. I do believe Beyoncé, especially in agility can do what keke was was doing. Beyoncé just doesn’t go all out like that all the time because they sing differently and different songs and Beyoncé has to preserve her voice a little more because she performs A LOT more than keke does. The comparisons weren’t always fair to Beyoncé and even then it was still hard, so i think that says something.

What I said was that although having 10 kids will undoubtedly affect your voice, Keke hasn’t toured as much as Beyoncé. Touring affects a vocalist voice more than just having kids. Singing night after night for weeks on end will definitely put wear and tear on your vocal chords. Keke isn’t on the same level as Beyoncé.

On top of that with the amount of pregnancies and miscarriages, if she was truly a mezzo in her younger years, she'd have been a contralto by now..

[@sass_king5576]

beyoncé was tried in this video lmao idk who did the video but they aren’t beyoncé fans she went A2 live actually and could have used much better belts + agility she was tried again

[@SteadyNUnremitting]

Right! They're obvious a Keke stan. They try to make Keke's lower register better, when that's the weaker part of her voice lol

[@jerommelewis]

KEKE is one of the fastest runners next to Kim Burrell and Jazmine Sullivan level

[@theevang0]

I think that Beyoncé chooses to do less (Keke of course has more agility) because her audience likes more of a classical sound, while Keke's audience is neo soul enthusiasts and Church folk. Very early in Beyoncé's career tho I think riffs and runs was what she was drawn to naturally, but of course if you want to sell u have to have more of a classical pop sound I have no clue if Beyonce has that crazy agility (very possible since she's a very healthy technical singer) but singers like Keke Wyatt don't get credit for their musicianship for the exact reason people lover her, she does a lot more. I mean not too long ago people said Beyonce can't sing like Adele 😑 and we know good and well that's not true. Because Beyonce sounds more "urban" and less classical than Adele as well as her being a entertainer she doesn't get the same treatment, and unfortunately the more church/ and Jazz elements u have in ur STYLE of singing the less play u get, even though Jazz/churchy influenced songs shows off a lot of ur ability. What can I say we live in a white world.

[@iantuition]

agreed. I'd also say Beyoncé's music doesn't call for all that. DC's music BARELY did, hence people always joking (or not joking) about Bey's ridiculous runs then despite the fact that if Keke were singing them............... Beyoncé is definitely (still) quite agile though. those DC riffs and runs were often LITERAL vocal exercises and we all know damn well she never stops practicing. she just sung Happy Birthday to Raquel Smith's son yesterday riffing on every other damn word 😂

[@theevang0]

@@iantuition True! I chuckle everytime I think about Beyoncé singing killing time or Independent woman. She always did amazing, but best believe she finna run those songs like rapid rivers. I know damn well Beyoncé is extremely agile, but is she as agile as a Keke Wyatt or even a Jazmine Sullivan 🤷🏾‍♂️ idk, but I wouldn't put it past her to at least be able to keep up.

[@theevang0]

@Shadow Play in the Woods RIGHT!!! I think ppl should love artist for who they are, cause if there was actually a vocal versus battle with them, a lot of ppl would get their feelings hurt because they don't understand there is a subjectivity and objectivity to singing and range doesn't mean too much in that conversation. Ppl don't understand breath control, sustaining a note, agility, melisma, being fluid with ur vocal registers, arranging a song...etc. sooooo much more than what ppl think singing is, but most ppl that wanna have this argument can't sing no way sooo 🤷🏾‍♂️.

[@bohlalenchabeleng1370]

Why are they comparing these high sopranos with a mezzo? Somebody please balance me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@KajiVocals]

Beyonce is a natural soprano. Her voice is far too bright naturally to be a mezzo and her zona di passaggio is also very clearly soprano. Her voice only became a mezzo after her multiple pregnancies (and miscarriages).

[@jessiejvocal_5810]

@@KajiVocals Natural sopranos they can go up to (Bb5 - C6) while Beyonce only consistent up to F5 which passaggio of Mezzo (E5 - F5)

[@KajiVocals]

@@jessiejvocal_5810 Voice types have nothing to do with range. And the passaggio you speak of is not a full voice/modal voice passaggio but rather a passaggio in head register often called a terzo passaggio as well. It is a common misconception because people tend to translate the classical terminology into pop without understanding how those terms are used in operatic singing, and the secondo (or terzo overall) passaggio has to do with an acoustic shift in head voice an octave above the primo passaggio (in chest voice). On top of that, actual mezzo-soprani voices are dark, rich voices. Beyonce even when darkening was not a particularly low or dark or rich voice in her prime. Her voice only started to sound more mezzo-ish after multiple pregnancies and miscarriages. Those tend to cause a hormonal release which usually is known to lower the voice.

[@jessiejvocal_5810]

@@KajiVocals nothing can change the fact that Bey was a mezzos soprano even before or after her pregnancy and her voice changing it doesn't mean she used to be a natural sopranos

[@KajiVocals]

@@jessiejvocal_5810 Pregnancies on average cause the voice to lower by around 1 to 2 semitones. Same happens with miscarriages. If Beyonce was truly always a mezzo, she’d have been a contralto by now because of all those changes… These are several real mezzos. Listen and learn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZO3pH2Aqp5pr7c For operatic mezzos Elena Obraztsova and Oralia Dominguez are great. Fedora Barbieri too although her top range was poor.

Beyoncé is technically better from a music theory standpoint. Beyoncé’s voice is classically trained while Keke’s is naturally gifted and built through trial and error. Two different lanes, and quite frankly, two different kinds of R&B

Hmmm all imma say is this... Ive seen both ladies live.... Beyonce clips are from her being on stage for hours vs a 35 minute show.. Now both ladies SING TF DOWN. However Beyonce voice is fuller more than KeKe and KeKe goes sharp n flat often. Yet shes a beast so its okay lhh and Beyonce can STILL SING HIGH her growls are optional n add colors not because she cant hit the high notes no more 😂😂😂 she just did it few years back n shes barely performed live since than for us to even know but both ladies are great... And no these arent the best clips of either ladies ESPECIALLY BEYONCE

I love that you know you were being biased at some point🙃. Most clips are truly just preference, and you fell in love with Keke more than Bey. Both ladies are incredible vocalists, Beyonce has incredible technique, and she has a great mix, her head voice is great, her lows are well supported, and her classical training really shows out. Keke has great agility, and high chest, her lows are okay for me as far as support, her head voice is cool with the agility involved. Most of all, I learned how biased I am too😂😂😂

[@ClintDenman37]

[@TB317]

A lot of this comes down to preference and is not really a fair 1 to 1 comparison as context matters tremendously when it comes to voice and capacity. There is a huge difference between standing flatfoot and singing on a stage for a song or two in small/ mid size venue vs doing so in a stadium 90 minutes into a set with full production after running and dancing for that long. There's also a big difference in genre in terms of the type of singing each calls for. Truth be told, I don't think either can do what the other does, to the level that they each do. I suspect Beyoncé has trained a lot of the chest pulling gospel tendencies out of her voice, and replaced with a healthy distortion over a greater mix belt.

People think this is unfair to compare a soprano to a mezzo soprano but the gag is that both Beyonce and Keke Wyatt are sopranos. There is really nothing mezzo-ish about her voice and never was. Beyonce's voice is brighter than Keke's so she can't be a mezzo soprano. A mezzo soprano would sound darker, bigger, and richer. Keke is a middle weight soprano. I would say she has a "spinto" voice so her voice is already darker and fuller than Beyonce's.
