1. Belted Notes
For a note to be considered Golden, it must be consistently "perfect" in the vocalists' range. They must be able to sustain it with resonance, and be able to sing it with resonance on a very consistent basis.
Golden: 3.0 points
Ringing inconsistent/consistently grounded: 2.5
Grounded inconsistent: 2
Free consistent: 1.75
Inconsistently free: 1
Tense: .5
Underbelts are notes that are ringing under the vocalists' starting note, and as Beyoncé is a lowered soprano that means notes under F#4 They can either earn 1 point for inconsistent resonance, or 1.5 for consistent.
2. Low Notes
Golden: 2.0
Full Fairly Consistently: 1.75
Inconsistently full: 1.25
Inconsistently free: 0.75
Tense/Airy: 0.25
3. Head Voice
Golden: 2.0
Inconsistently Resonant or consistently grounded 1.75
Inconsistently grounded 1.25
Inconsistently free 0.75
Tense 0.25
4. Whistle Notes
Golden: 0.3
Not golden but Musical: 0.2
Off-key: 0.1
8. Vocal Effects:
For each skill that the vocalist is capable of, they earn a point. If they are a master of this skill, they earn two points.
9. (Lack of) Vocal Issues: Here, if the vocalist has any major issues, they are deducted a varying amount of points from the ten given in this category.
10. Consistency/Longevity: If the vocalist has struggled with consistency in the past or has drastically declined from their prime, they will have points deducted in this category from 5.

Is she a mezzo or soprano her mix voice seem so heady but don't lose power
@@soobinyt9254 a soprano.
Her growls are underrated. Not every singer can do that while preserving their voice for 20+ years.
I love how they underrate Beyonce as a vocalist and often sees her as an entertainer when she clearly has some of the best vocals I've ever heard❤
There was a long time people thought that she was nowhere near to Xtina vocally lol
@@pigeonsandplanes5805 That's actually really sad because Beyoncé was always better than Xtina. Honestly, outside of the vocal community, people tend to overrate Xtina as a vocalist. She is a good singer but her vocal technique is far, far worse than people think. She can barely support her belts in the upper fourth octave (she is improving her technique in her mixed register though) and often lowers her larynx to create that "intentional strain" sound because she is a soul singer. However, her low notes are pretty good and her falsetto is easily the best in the industry.
@@varunravi27look the thing is when someone (especially females) sing darker and growl a lot, the general public thinks they're a better vocalist. Like Whitney and Mariah are vocally equal, the general public knows hoe great whitney is, but Mariah is never really sold as that great of a vocalist outside her whistles even though she is unreal. Women who sing darker are just generally known as better to them I've noticed
@@TheFameDream-nb3ce Agreed. I think it's because the masses believe it is harder to chest belt than it is to sing with a lighter approach when, in fact, both require equal amounts of training and practice. All registers require the same amount of attention. Unfortunately, most singers today do not put in the time and effort to work on all of their registers. Beyoncé is one of the few remaining pop stars that is a well-rounded vocalist. Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga and P!nk are also some good examples.
@@varunravi27 Usher is also one of the greatest vocalists in the industry. Adam Lambert, Bruno Mars, Neyo, John Legend, etc. Great vocalists are not only female.
The whole Virgo's groove song could be used as an example to showcase her creativity with agility. Also you should add a bonus for pitch. Some great singers can get pitchy at times and I think Beyonce is one of the few ones that are perfectly on pitch like 99% of the time. Her pitch precision is particularly impressive when she's doing runs switching between registers and not for one second does she go even a little off.
her volume control is INSANE. there is no contemporary vocalist who has better dynamics control than her, i mean doing messa di voce while doing melismas and phrasing is bonkers. i can’t wait to see her live soon
Have you heard of Sia…lol she’s so underrated.
@@jessicajoerndt428 be serious….
@@notyourdaddy2148 Sia is insane. Her range, technique, dynamics and her actual music and lyrics are deep and good. Listen to her life, she has the timber and precision of Celine Dion, Beyoncé does not. People who think Beyoncé is the greatest vocalist right now, or so fucking delusional, and it just shows how power and money can overshadow talent. Beyoncé IS talented and great but she’s not the best 💀
@@jessicajoerndt428if she's that good she wouldn't be losing her voice while singing chandelier
She is the vocalist of our generation! She has everything-range, belting resonance, agility, dynamics-she is the whole package!
And she can dance!
@@ChrisDuCamer YES exactly!
Finally someone who does a GOOD vocal analysis taking into account so much more than just range! :D
I swear the "Beyoncé can't sing" people...
she is the greatest living vocalist/performer in the world for sure 💯
Nobody is.
Lies! Mariah still hold that title
@@alonzoclarkston5638 bruh how is Mariah lipsyncing 80% of her shows and getting carried around on stage "still holding that title" of greatest vocalist/performer??? People always act so delusional about her. We love Mariah but let's be for real for once.
She's a monster in stage!Insane resonance.Queen of runs and riffs for me.
Vocal Savagery, she really is the vocalist of her generation.
What an amazing video finally someone giving beyonce all her props it’s sad to see her get knocked down and or trying to be humbled because of how popular she is
I think that, outside of the vocal community, Beyoncé is such an underrated vocalist. Her most underrated register is probably her lower register (I'd say her low notes are almost as good as Miley's, if not as good or better). Beyoncé is up there with The Vocal Trinity for sure 🤍
Miley’s lows and hers are not comparable. Look at the vocal fold closure levels.
@@KajiVocals along with the fact that Miley’s voice is damaged😭
@@LiTim17 Miley's lows r stronger.
@@KajiVocals who is better at lows?
@@debutriah2854 Miley.
Amazing video!!!! So glad you came back!!! Beyonce is a marvelous vocalist form every perspective! Although I still believe that Celine's HV G5 and G#5 should also be golden along with her A5.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!
Beyoncé never disappoints! Great video🫶🏽
Thank you so much for your help!
@@CamdenE no problem🤍
You are absolutely everywhere and I love it lmfaoo your love for bey is as crazy as mines 😂😂😂
Like Whitney Houston, Beyonce's dynamic head voice is her crowning glory.
Not "Inconsistently golden", bye-😭😭 (It's probably the best way to describe her upper belts lol, sometimes I just forget how good she is)
Beyoncés superpower is that she never has a bad vocal performance. It’s impossible to find
I've waited for this video for so long! Thanks a lot, Camden!)))
Was not expecting her to be better than Mariah in every register. I knew she’d have a better head voice and lower register, but she even edges her in belts as well.
as if lmfao
@@bundleofbutterflies5016 as if what 💀 are you mad lol
Her current belting is even better than prime mariah while current mariah is choking that woman tanked HARD
@@subliminal5543 i agree! I am a huge Mariah fan, but personally, I prefer Beyoncé belts!
@@subliminal5543let's not be nasty
Dimash: Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary
technique wise Beyonce us far moree better
@@DaydreamCarey1234 Nah lol
@@nglucas2966 I said technique 💀 Dimash barely even make it into 5th octave with a good technique.
@@DaydreamCarey1234 she ended him
@@whoevr yass
12:48 this transition is insane
Do tori! She has improved quite a lot recently!
She could be the current best ... Without a doubt ❤
Very strong contender for the best in history
@@mlh1367literally just thinking of this
Her volume control is unmatched
Dynamics are 🔥🔥🔥
Based on Grammy awards won, she is, even better than Mariah
By no means
Beyonce is an incredibly skilled vocalist regardless of the amount of grammys she's won lol, even with zero
Beyonce would never sing if it's over
@@ThekingOfMonsters1954 of course not, she will just get nodules with that song. The shouting put too much stress to Mariah's vocal chords
@@ulradeja5380 I believe that in the studio Mariah Carey is the greatest vocalist in history, in live she is in the top 5 of the greatest
13:51 well she dances
I want Beyonce and Mariah to collaborate
Me too...❤
12:45 is mind blowing even as someone who has probably watched most of her live performances I’m used to hearing crazy vocal gymnastics but this run literally confuses my ears. All she did was sing two notes an octave higher than usual in head voice but the effect and skill it took is WILD
Yay, finally!💙👍💙 Thanks so much for sharing it and uploading it!💙💙💙💙 I absolutely LOVE Beyoncé with all of my heart!!!♥️👍♥️👍♥️👍👍👍♥️👍♥️👍♥️👍♥️
Her vibrato has effect on me 😍😍😍
She did have a live-in vocal coach, since kidhood, training 4 days a week for years. Let's hope that in our next lifetime, we all live in a world where everyone can afford to develop their potential, full-time, from the youngest age. Imagine how many untapped potentials there are walking this earth, because they never had a chance to develop their vocal abilities or talents full-time. 😢 Let's hope we all get parents as fully vested in us, and as unconditionally supportive, as they were in this woman. I hope, in our next lifetime.
So true her black parents worked so hard and they became middle class and she continued to make them all even richer as she worked as a kid and had support! I wish I worked as a child I would have trained too lol but rn I can still train at my age lol
You are SO right! I speak about this often . Life is very unfair , great for her tho! I wish we all lived in a world where we all got the same amount of love and nurturing. Beyoncé was raised from LOVE and it shows , so many others were raised off of survival and we never reach our full potential. It’s not an excuse but it’s the truth, although she still works hard in her craft she was afforded the ability to do so.
Some people had lessons but managed to master it.
Please do Whitney 🙏🏻
Beyonce is a incredible vocalist ❤️❤️❤️
She so good singer ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You should do Natalie Weiss!! I think her score would be similar, or close to Beyoncé's
11:05 I love how you didn't cut the exclamation
14:45 me whenever Beyoncé is serving vocals:
aww man I’ve been waiting so long and now she’s on tour, this might have to be updated 😅🤭
Please do Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston 😢❤
I’d love to! Would you be interested in helping
me find clips!
@@CamdenE Hii, your video was amazing. Could you do it one of Cher? I could help you with the clips
@@LucasJorgeAshton sure! DM me on Instagram! @camden.epperson
7:49 this belt was big as FUCK
The echo sound system is big as FuCK.
Not really big, just a balance belt in a lighter side, not really strong or bold
2:16 this is a real big belt from her 🌚 love her but that is a mess ngl her recent vocal is better
Finally,
Actually Beyonce has Eb6 head voice in 1+1 warming up
Amazing video!! I love the resonant notes. Excited to see Sohyang and Son Seung Yeong. Maybe also Lea Michele and Amber Riley
Son seung yeon definitely deserves a CVSS!!!
we need a beyonce update.
After listening to various top charting female vocalist songs acapella...Its blows my mind just how Beyonce surpasses every artist by such a long shot that the others almost sound bad. Rhianna was a huge surprise acapella, she sounded terrible. The only one that came close to Beyonce was Sia but Sia's vocals were more processed. I'd definitely say Sia is the 2nd best female voice in music but Beyonce....shes just insanely good. She has this angelic air in her voice that just expresses every note she hits almost like a fine tuned instrument.
I always find it a bit weired to have Dimash compared with all the other female singers. It's not a complaint about how great he is, but maybe that we shoulbe be comparing him to David Phelps or Bruno Mars, for exemplo.
She should’ve gotten the point for the lip sync. She mostly sings like. Like her renaissance concert is fully live.
Also compared to the other singers on the list she also dances
girl i just bought tickets to her world tour in september.... like last night... perfect timing
Hi !! I would just like to say that she does have Eb6 to be added to her head voice part.
Here's the link : ruclips.net/video/WjidXy0uz_g/видео.html
What makes Beyonce unique is her versatile abilities and her breath control is in my opinion flat out is the best.
Did you added a video of how to tie a tie in your CVSS list on purpose?
Second question: where's your vocal range video and the CVSS of yourself? I wanted to hear your claimed g#6 in head voice, bc I'll do a video of the best head voice notes by men
She's fine singer overall
It is interesting how the voice can be so low in speaking and sometimes harmonizing but never in singing
I think singers usually speak lower because it exerts less energy and is less taxing on the voice
what is the performance at 1:03?
YAAAAY FINALLY
Omg can we get sza, each of the little mix members, the flo members and the Sugababes members please🤍?
there's not enough content for flo member
Cant wait for you to do Son seung yeon !
Didnt she have Eb6 and E6 head voice live?
Just exclaimed that I know of.
@@CamdenE ruclips.net/video/WjidXy0uz_g/видео.html isn't this an Eb6?
@@beynotes868 yea
Also she has a glissando E6 and F6, I think they are enough controlled to be counted
@@CamdenE ruclips.net/video/d1up8pFNjNk/видео.html how about this?
what is chest whistle
Transitioning from chest to whistle in one phrase!
HELPPP WHY IS DIMASH HIGHER THAN ALL OF THEM PLEASE- 😭😭😭
all he has is vocal range and then he strains everything
Because the amount of techniques he knows exceeds everyone on the list. Yes he uses necessary tensions with control and its your personal preference if you dont like metallic mix
Why are some pressed in the comments 😹😹
the only thing I disagree with here is your analysis of her breath management. It's true that she doesn't do many sustained belts but I think her breathing technique is still top tier. You try singing one of her uptempo songs with that fast staccato she does without running out of breath lol. The majority fail. People think ballads are the hardest kind of songs to sing, which is typical and true of most vocalists but Beyoncé is not most vocalists. Her mid-tempos/uptempos usually have more intricate and complex arrangements than her slow ballads.
Next so Hyang
where is the 11:15 video from?
11:32 she has an about 16/17 seconds vocal run in a dangerously in love encore
ruclips.net/video/H3UpKFWoK8k/видео.html 2:36
Thank you!!! I’ll update it
Basing on all the vocalists I've been listening to actually I would call F#4 as the first passaggio of a higher-set mezzo rather than a lower-set soprano. Vocalists who have their first passaggio at G4 like Morissette, Yolanda, P!nk sounds very sopranoish to my ears and Etta James, who has her first passaggio at F4, sounds very mezzoish. Then I started to ponder would F#4 be the first passaggio of a lower-set soprano or a higher-set mezzo, and I found a vocalist who sounds very mezzoish had her first passaggio at F#4, that's the great Gladys Knight.
m.ruclips.net/video/4yQSzEZXXdY/видео.html
I think it's very clear to hear. Meanwhile, I hear Beyoncé's first passaggio as F4 rather than F#4, there're plenty of videos showcasing her whole vocal range in one minute and her passaggio is quite clear to hear. That being said, her 4th octave is very underdeveloped considering her instrument, but that enables her to reach her upper register more successfully and make her whole mixed register sounds more unified. Agree on everything else, her lower and upper register are very well-developed, her dynamic and agility are just insane, great video!
Gladys’ voice sits lower than young Etta’s. And you simply cannot classify passaggi on voices like these. To classify where passaggi are placed you need to look at very specific acoustic phenomena, most of which will not happen in pop voice.
Beyoncé's F#4/G4s aren't more intense than others Soprano
Not developed at all..Beyonce lower, upper, HV is underdeveloped
can you tell me for you celine dion is soprano lyrik and lara fabian too? it seems to me that their passagio are different
@@dededejereme2284 they are all lyric soprano
Why are there two versions of this video posted?
Two versions? There should only be one…
@@CamdenE there’s two of them in your CVSS playlist
@@CPenner9 one as copyrighted to I deleted lol
lana almost being up there with such talented vocalists shocks me, she's quite good
Where's Tori?
Great video. I don't think anyone is taking dimash, Spot total mastry in all register imo love the video.
Sohyang next
do ariana and jessie i beg!!!!!!!
I’d love to if someone can confirm clips!
@@CamdenE i can!!! omg for ariana i’d be more than honored
@@pedroadoliveira that would be great! I love Ari :) want to talk on Instagram? @camden.epperson
The C6 of Beyonce was not the best of her, look in the performance of Destiny's Child ft Celine Dion, in this performance or including other singing emotion she has better C6.
And please won't stop to make this videos, and upgrade the lyrics areas in opera by beyonce too.
When need it for Whitney Houston ! Pleaaase
What is the meaning of that "HEAD MIX"?
Mixing is a technique that consists of different mechanisms that ultimately work to create the vocal effect of there being no break or jump between vocal registers.
So we have M1, which is more known as chest voice, whete the body and the cover of the vocal folds vibrate. Then there's M2 which is known as head voice or falsetto where only the cover of the fold vibrates.
Mixing attempts to match the sound of both of them.
A "head mix" is someone singing in M2 but altering the sound (can be done using several mechanism) so it sounds a lot like their own M1 sound even tho it's not.
A master at mixing should be able to go from full vibration and fold closure in M1, then be able to thin their folds while going up so when they drop the body vibration and it's only the cover it's almost unnoticeable and viceversa. Without the need to change vocal tract shape, modify vowels or anything so the sound is complete seamless.
Beyoncé here is a great example of someone who does that.
@@jodavitowruclips.net/video/m2BPOMa7UCE/видео.html are these also heady mix?
If her highest mixed note was a C6 doesn't that make her a full soprano now?
No, she's still a mezzo, just a very VERY light one.
@@wtfisthis96 But how? She hit a C6 in a heady-mixed note.
The timbre determines the voice type not the vocal range.
Some tenors can belt/mix G5 , A5 or even C6.
But that doesn't make them sopranos.
@@whitneyhouston1122 but she's a soprano
Low one
That's not how it works.
First of all she's a pop singer. Those categories were created for classical singing a LONG LONG LONG time ago before any significant scientific development was done in regards of the singing voice.
I advocate we should drop them altogether as they seem kind of pointless and are just a very vague, unuseful way to describe anyone's capabilities as a singer.
That being said, she's considered a mezzo because of the timbre of her voice and where the "golden notes" sit, not because of her range, which is massive. In terms of classical singing, she goes from soprano to even baritone territory.
Beyoncé is an exceptionally well developed and trained singer since childhood.
She can hit a C6 in head voice, therefore, if she knows what she's doing, (and she does) she can give it a belting quality by modifying her vocal tract and vowels, while also giving as much fold closure as a M2 will allow. That's it. That what a head mix is.
Her voice does have a lot of the qualities that people would associate with mezzo. She's not even "a light one" her voice is very dark, heavy, loud, and powerful. I wouldn't say her voice is light at all. She's just extremely good at singing and her technical capabilities are beyond what you would normally expect from an average "good" singer.
can you do one with amy winehouse pleasee
the answer is yes she is. her and demi lovato are unmatched
Demi ... 😂☠️💀🤧
there's no way dimash is a better singer than beyoncé
you did ariana too- you forgot to mention her 🤭
Xtina?
Sarah Geronimo next please
Lana del shouldn’t even be on the list for vocalist. That’s an insult
3:29 she did a squall…. Why would you took this video as an illustration of her A5 notes when it was clearly intentional. A squall is more agressive than a growl so it’s normal to strain since its a stylistic choice
Because she has no better A5.
@@CamdenEdoesn’t she have a phrased belted A5 in why don’t you love me??
Dimash
ahhahah, you are comparing a young man with a lot of old women and I love some of them in this list
No.

the answer is: no.
It’s yes. Actually
@@mlh1367 as if lmfao
Beyonce better vocalist then mariah?😂😂😂😂
Yes. Better lows, head-voice, agility, technique, dynamics.
@@toshiro8997 u wish! Mariah in here prime sang circles around Beyoncé! The best agility and musicality… better best and control of range
@@Gui-mt2wu delusional. Just at mid and upper belts that‘s it 💀
@@toshiro8997 and agility and musicality! Beyoncé never did complex runs like Mariah! Most of her live she had a thin head voice and most of good head voice moments are lipped hahaha! Even low notes both are tie (cuz Mimi always had a bigger range and at her best support down to C3) but I shouldn’t even say anything cuz everyone that can isn’t deaf knows that Mariah is better
@@Gui-mt2wu the delusion is real.
I doubt she is even the best vocalist in America, I've seen plenty singers from around the world who are equally as good but don't get the recognition because they don't have big business propaganda machines behind them.i think it said it all when Etta James dissed her
Jetta was bitter and mad.
BOOOOOOOOO
Etta James also apologized and gave her a standing ovation when she performed At last for her. Nice try.
The issue is, y’all have an issue admitting someone’s as great as they are if they’re popular. So whenever the popular ppl are in the convo, you wanna bring attention to the less popular ppl and downplay those that are popular. Not realizing that those less popular ppl truly aren’t as good. But go off
@@mlh1367 yeah I'm sure her apology was really genuine😅
Love her but this is a stretch 😂
The best vocalist in the world is Dimash. That's it!
throughout your analysis, its Celine>Morissette>Lara>Beyonce>Mariah>Dimash>Demi>Lana only if you were unbiased.
@@Mdc80188 Morissette has no weakness.
it is not a surprise to me though because many people still think Mariah is superior.
@@Mdc80188 she is before Mariah skills wise, development wise eh..she is a mosquito and I don't like mixers so just understand why am I saying this.
@@Mdc80188 nope her development is eh, I wouldn't really put her over or under Mariah for now sincr I have more research to do.
This analysis is based on how many techniques they know. Not because he/she is biased
I'll throw out just two names of singers who can hit every not mentioned on this video Katrina Velarde and Sohyang and believe me thats just the tip of a huge far East iceberg and i also believe JHud is a far better singer
Which jhud. Is it the A vocalist u are comparing to a star rated vocalist. Do ur research well
@@AgbommaOrji I have my opinion if you don't like it you can eat my crusty ring
Lmaoo these screamers ☠️💀
Minus: Overusing her growling sometimes without taste, annoying speaking-singing, oversinging, darkening her soprano voice to a mezzo.
I barely hear her prime voice (2005-2013) now...
You not liking her style is not equate to her not mastering her voice. Also she's a coloratura mezzo
I don't think she does that anymore. Any clip from the Renaissance World Tour would prove that.
Something being annoying doesn’t make it a minus, especially speak singing…
NOOOOO she not even in TOP 7!!!💯💯💯
Stay mad .
Who is then
these aren't subjective.... these are facts
Hahaha. A star rated vocalist. A 32 Grammy winner
Meanwhile she’s star rated lmao. Cry I guess
