@liyanam7888 Madonna has a career in showbiz, and she is very good at that, especially as a dancer, but she never can be compared with Ofra Haza as singing voice, or voice technique. I like them both, but they can't be compared!🤘🕊️ P.S. I said that as a musician 🎷
@@ThiefsSlaughter Madonna has a richer colour...by far Ofra seems to have only one tone and she doesn't dance. most clips of Madonna in concert she's been dancing. Also Madonna is much more than just show. Unlike Ofra Madonna challenged the system AND writes and produces.. ofra doesn't. as a "musician" your statement is very poor. get your money back if you actually got "education" for it.
Man this video made me laugh. The ONLY reason this video would even *exist* is because Ofra was called the “Madonna of the Middle East” because she was the first “pop star” that came out of Israel….that’s where it ends. Ofra has the voice of an angel. Madonna is a great dancer and can carry a tune, but she’s no singer.
Madonna's a great performer who can be a much better singer than she's usually given credit for. Some of the clips here show how great she can be. But Offra... is literally a trained classical singer of her region and culture. A trained CLASSICAL singer. Different concepts, different deliveries. So we should use different criteria.
NO competition. Ofra Haza is the best. I find it an insult Ofra was called the Madonna of the East. It is an insult to Ofra to try to compare her to Madonna. Ofra is number one🌷🇮🇱
Forget battle, that ain't even a contest. As for why, back in the 90s, people were trying to explain what a big deal Ofra was in the Middle East by calling her "the Madonna of the desert." I'm thinking someone took offense on her behalf, for the same reason you were saying the video does a disservice to her. I don't think they were trying to disrespect Madonna, either, but that always bugged me, too. They really just can't be compared as artists. It also bears mention that Ofra's career was cut short by her tragic passing in 2001, I believe. So while Madonna is unquestionably a legend, she's got an extra two decades of career when it comes to measuring success, too. It's as unfair to compare Ofra's more measurable success to hers as it is to compare her voice to Ofra's, Although to be fair, she was also never all that focused on the pop star side, devoting a large part of her career to the promotion (and frequently preservation) of Yemeni & Middle Eastern Jewish folk music. Tons of her music is a capella or accompanied only by simple traditional instrumentation, and when she appeared on shows & the like, she'd usually just be there doing the interview & then hold her mic up & blow the roof off the joint without even getting out of her seat. So I can't see her ever doing the huge shows & such that Madonna built that success on. I will say, though, that I think it's a horrible irony that we lost Ofra right before the internet really took off & replaced the US as THE great cultural melting pot. Just imagine the impact she could have had. Rest her gentle.
Omgggg Ofra is nowhere near Madonna: but way above. Madonna isn't really a singer, wheras Ofra is amazing! Clear sweet tone and good feeling. Glad to whoever requested this 🙂
When he first heard a song by Ofra Haza (Galbi, Im Nin'alu a Love song), I immediately liked it, yes, I also like Madonna's songs (mostly only the older ones), but I like Ofra's singing more.
Madonna is a great singer but Ofra Haza is simply a divine singer. It's not really interesting to compare them, because they don't use the same emotional and vocal register at all.
I remember the only time these two singer were in competition. It was in thee 1980's two new female singers in the Disco battlefield. Here in North America the Disco scene was focused on North American production until they indtroduced synthetizers were the rest of the world had a clear lead. Madonna was the voice queen in the disco scene and sudenly Ofrah came in also with her mastery of voice control on her disco version of Galbi. This was the birth of what we call now the world music genre. But the two artists had different musical and market goals and it was the last time they were in competition. You are right to be confused all the videos in this vocal battle have been extracted from the time after when they were not competing for the same market taste. But for the die hard Madonna fans of the disco era it just shows how they were wrong that Madonna was a superior vocal artist. ruclips.net/video/iPyTK2fsn6A/видео.html
I’m a massive Madonna fan but this video makes no sense. Madonna should of been compared vocally to someone like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Jlo, Kylie Minogue ect. Other pop artists would of been a great comparison!! Ofra would be compared to Whitney, Celine, Mariah and Barbara
Ofra has been compared to Madonna since the 80s for many reasons, she is called the Israeli Madonna. I also chose some of Madonna's best clips, ;) and Madonna is my favorite artist so trust me I didn't make the video to hate on Madonna. It's a comparison video, not a hate one :)
@@sel3248 She didn't compare herself, other people did in the West. It's usual for western media to compare any talented singer from the East to Western singers
I have a question: If Ofra Haza hadn't died, and she was still alive and singing albums, who would be more successful in the charts? Ofra Haza or Madonna?
You have no right. If you say that. Please confirm that you have right. We can't compare this Ladies. It is also important to which songs we choose to make the videos.
I actually can’t even find this video (nothing to do with you mate!!!!)! It’s clearly not a battle. Madonna is one of the greatest performers ever but this is just ridiculous to compare these two vocally. Peace bro
@@sel3248 What do you mean? If you ask ANY Israeli, they will know who she is (Just by saying Ofra). She is technically and emotionally a better singer than Madonna, and isn't reliant on over produced pop songs, effects, autotune and gimmicks.
You are being much too hard on the video maker, those were some awesome Madonna clips. Madonna lost because she was not as good of a singer as offer has off. A simple as that. No comparing an entertainer to a vocalist.
#TeamMadonna I’m not sure who this Ofra is… but she’s not even the same style of music or singing! I’m pretty sure Ofra can’t sing any Madonna song. #OfraWho
why are you so bitter? ofra not only can sing a madonna song, she can sing it better. ofra is a skilled vocalist, madonna isnt. madonna on the other hand cannot ever sing a single melody that ofra has sung in this video. also, madonna has sampled ofra haza.. so your own favorite artist is quite the fan of ofra.
@@drewNYC No one agrees with you, some just find it odd that a singer like Madonna is being compared to a vocalist that Ofra. If you think Madonna is a better singer, that's fine but you're tone deaf. And yes you are bitter, as Madonna fans tend to be towards better singers (Lady Gaga for example)
Madonna is Madonna she really needs no introduction nor does she have to have a voice. And I'm way more familiar with Madonna then ofra but I'm not bias and Madonna has. Ever ever been known as a vocalist and she's not on anybody top 50 list (vocally) that's all we talking about here. So giving I'm going by this video Madonna can't sing better then this lady. Any other scenario I would chose Madonna. Vocally no. I think ofras style of singing would be ALOT harder since she has a very melismatic way of singing
@@likeaflower7427 Why you so mad?? Why you taking it so personal?! Omg! Were you the one that made this horrible video? 🤣😂🤣 I stand by my comment. Period. #TakeAXanax 😬
Ofra Haza was sent to us from a holy place! She sings and I am stirred inside. She is holy. Love you Ofra. Rest in Peace Ofra.
Ofra Haza is the most beautiful-sounding singer, the most skillful singer ever!
Ofra is one of the best women vocalist of all times
Ofra amazing
Ofra the best singer ever. Legend.
Madonna is amazing
But ofra haza is wowww the best voice I ever heard 👌🔝🙏
We can't compare.
Ofra Haza is a way better singer… But Madonna was actually really killing those performances. Certainly for her.
i agree with you that they can't compare since ofra is a master vocalist but since she is called the israeli madonna it's fun to compare
you are right - this is no battle, is a Madonna's slaughter. Madonna is about show, but Ofra Haza is a sing Godess. Ofra sadly died in 2000 at 42 :(
Madonna is the Master too.

But Sister of Michael Jackson too.

She shouldn't have to compare herself to Anyone else. Its seems Desperate.
@@sel3248 She didn't compare herself, other people did in the West. It's usual for western media to compare any talented singer from the East to Western singers
She was only dubbed the Madonna of the Middle East because she was Israel’s first “pop star.” The vocals really shouldn’t be compared at all…
:-)))))))))
I love this ❤
Madonna sampled her in her song 'Isaac' 😂 maybe thats why someone suggested this.
How can you put maddona with ofra...Madonna has no chance..
Madonna is the queen the best selling female artists of all
I have a question: If Ofra Haza hadn't died, and she was still alive and singing albums, who would be more successful in the charts? Ofra Haza or Madonna?
Missing ofra
Agreed
Madonna isn't the best vocalist, but she has the best pop songs ever 😘
Exactly, that’s why she’s great.
The only battle I know when I was a kid
Is Ofra haza vs yardena Arazi lol
I was team Ofra RIP beautiful lady
There are many great vocalists and truly amazing singers in this world, but there is only one Madonna 👑
I agree with this
There is only one Ofra Haza!!!
@@נועהב-ז3ו yes, and she's just one of many great vocalist, but none of them are Madonna.
@NocturneSoul um sure yea
Madonna had her fun
Now she's bitter old musician trying stay relevant
She should retire its boring watching her on TV
How can you compare them at all is funny
Really? Madonna had some cool songs but she couldn't hold candle to Ofra Haza
Ofra Haza didn't come off as arrogant
Or pretencious( for the most part)
Madonna es solo una showbussines
People say she's the Madonna of the Middle East...I think she's the Celine Dion of Israel...
Coldplay - Hypnotised (Official Lyric Video), Amazing Day Global Film Project, Coldplay - Everglow (Alternate Music Video)
react please.
Ofra is far better than Madonna
Madonna sounded amazing during her Evita era.
אין השוואה בכלל עופרה זמרת מחוננת וואקליסטית מדהימה מדונה זמרת בינונית פרפורמרית נדהימה ווקליסטית בנונית ביום טוב
You have no right.
If you say that. Please confirm that you have right.
We can't compare this Ladies.
It is also important to which songs we choose to make the videos.
Just weird 🤷♀️
Confused with you babe 🤔

Ofra is known as the "Israeli Madonna". Thus the comparisson maybe...

so is it a commentary about how voice shows up in the culture?

non si possono paragonare due voci completamente diverse poi una e americana l'altra orientale

To be 'Known' as someone else & not ur own self. That says it right there. •💋
