I'm not going to say one singer is better than the other but Sarah's voice and phrasing speaks more to my emotional interpretations. Sarah's voice plays my emotional strings and vocal sensibilities like no other with her vocal tones, phrasings and style.
Sarah's technique is superior, incomparably great.But I think Sarah's emotions sound more calculated, Ella is warmer and more natural. Her singing goes straight to my heart. Of course this is subjective.
Interesting observations. I would describe it the other way around. To me Sarah seemed to just enjoy her sound more than the lyric, whereas Ella seemed more connected to the art form.
I can't choose. Both insane vocally. I'd only really say that Sarah is more of a technical singer, whereas Ella more stylistic and gritty. But both had incredible technique when they wanted.
These two are very similar in how they captured the ears of listeners and influenced generations of musicians, but their styles are very different. It's hard to compare. Sarah has the advantage when it comes to lows, her approach and lower voice. Ella's lows are impressive considering how high her voice is, though the majority of the clips are both of them in their later years. Ella takes belts for sure, they're so good for a jazz singer. Hv is hard for me, but I prefer Sarah's. Very neck and neck.
I'm ready to recognize that Sarah is the better singer technically and voice wise, but "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing". Ella touches my soul in a way no other jazz singer does (well, maybe Billie, some days).
Sarah is one of my favorite singers and has one of the greatest voices and ability to sing than most singers. My vote is for her but that's not to take anything from the superb improvisons of Ella. I actually believe How High the Moon and It Don't Mean a Thing are sung and scatted best by Ella. They have their own style and songs that belong to them. Lullaby of Birdland is sung and scatted best by Sarah in my opinion. Love them both, but Sarah is my preference.
For me it's Sarah Vaughan. Her reach for notes is more effortless. She has a warmer tone for me and her timing is far superior. She also, in her live shows, showed more humour and intimacy with her audiences. That said, both are better than all the others.
Both of them were great. I prefer Sassy. Ella Fitzgerald was more of a scatter. Sarah I like the way she interpreted her ballads more. How she soared from high to low and vice versa. A plus Sarah played the piano
In her prime I Sarah Vaughan had a voice which with the proper training would have made her an excellent opera singer. During the 40s and 50s her voice had control, flexibility, resonance, richness, a stunning lower register, and an ability to reach a high C that were very reminiscent of classical singers. For Sarah Vaughan at her most "operatic" please listen to her performance of the song "Say You'll Wait For Me". Both Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan were wonderful singers. However, from a purely technical standpoint I think that Sarah Vaughan had the superior voice.
These two divas of vocal excelence are beyond excellent in. Style technique and smooth fluid captivating listening pleasure of sound.....in complete control and command...
I love both of em disciplined and technically sound singers both of em are. Ellas voice is so agile and clean. Like water in a stream. Sarah voice is smooth like a thick syrup and butter on pancakes.
Two absolute Legends of music! This is Real talent and professionalism on a grand scale. They are both Jazz, Music, and Vocal Icons. Ella is my absolute favorite singer and i also love and Have a huge amount of respect and admiration for Sara “Sassy” Vaughn! 2 💎💎
Im am , & have been in awe of both singers from my teenage years. Then when I started extensively collecring their CD's, I found Sarah's repotoire more captivating. However, just lately, I've been mesmerized by the extensive musical renditions of Lena Horne. But the bottom line, - they all are my ladies of song, including, Dina Washington. Now run & tell that!
This was a fairly good match even though it was between women of different strengths and styles. It was very fairly displayed. I think if I had to choose which woman I would rather listen to on a regular basis it’s probably Sarah Vaughan. And I went into this thinking it would be Ella Fitzgerald. It might still be though… I think I listen to Ella Fitzgerald more often anyway. I’m a little confused now, lol.
Improvisation, musicality and spontaneity wise - Ella wins for me… However, vocally Sarah due to her musical training always had the upper hand - technique wise . Hence, the quality of her voice was at its peak/prime throughout her life.
I would say that Sarah Vaughan had the more "perfect" voice, but to me she often seems rather detached from the lyrics and like she's listening to herself, which I find distracting. I feel like she is more about vocal technique and about an intellectual approach to harmony, than about really connecting with the idea and feeling of the song. Ella Fitzgerald is certainly no slouch technically, and she did have a strong level of engagement with the lyrics, as well as a musical freedom and spontaneity, all of which put her ahead as a singer in my book.
I really love their styles so very much. Scat singing wise. Sarah had beautiful vocals. When she'd scat, she'd sing melodies with her voice that connected to everyone's ear. Satisfying but beautiful. Ella on the other hand. She had a very beautiful way of improvising when it came to scatting. She improvised the same way a trumpet player would, and depicted her voice as a jazz instrument for her band, and her audience. It's a tie, however, in my opinion. Ella Fitzgerald is jazz's most perfect singer. While Sarah Vaughan is one of jazz's most satisfying and soulful singers.
I’m halfway through but I’m gonna make a few comments; Sarah Vaughan was a very beautiful woman in her youth. Now, looks aside and vocally speaking, they were mostly equally good in the lower registers. With Sarah winning out for me a few times because she has that depth that can’t be beat. But Ella was equally strong on most of them with her very clear voice and if excellent forward Placement that helped her carry those low notes. They both have tremendous support, especially Ella. On belting, I think that Ella shined more on the fourth octave so far. She has more of that Belty quality, that chassis quality and is comfortable on those notes, whereas in may have been a little bit high in comparison for Sarah who sounds a little more light and soft and mixy to me. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
@@Rosannasfriend Yep, Ella was primarily a chest belter. A more stylistic, raw singer. Sarah was quite influenced by classical soprano singing which is very apparent in her approach and style. I find it hard to compare.
@@vyeagra420 I think it is more due to the approach rather than trying to sound like a higher voice. Her approach is very akin to how some classically-trained sopranos and mezzos who sang jazz sounded.
Both of them have quite an unlimited range. I find new notes from them almost everyday, especially Ella. Ella mixing B5s with absolute ease and singing (well, grumbling) an F2. Found tons of C6s but no good notes above though.
They were both phenomenal vocalists…though, apropos of your theme, it’s interesting to note that Ella herself thought, and said many times, that she thought Sarah was the greatest singer of their generation….there’s no battle…they are very different artists. Both great….but I would offer that Sarah had the greater instrument….and certainly a much greater vocal range.
Ella Fitzgerald had it till the end. The notes for me as music teacher are crispier to the ear. You can see them both reach heights with ease, the breath control from Ella astounding. If anything Ella was freer in that her persona never left her grasp. Sarah however did. Ella Fitzgerald will be forever you see her even now gaining popularity.
@@monicabella7894 Sarah is wonderful, I love her - but first of all I think Ella is musically more versatile and I would like to say that your assessment of Ella is a big underestimate. Excuse me if I write this - your statement about Ella Fitzgerald: "Ella Fitzgerald is good for a nice relaxed musical background, that's all" is actually an embarrassingly stupid statement for every jazz connoisseur. If you told that to the world famous jazz legends that Ella worked with, they would laugh at you. Ella is so much more than just nice relaxed music. I think you don't know enough about Ella's huge record work. I've seen Ella live about 15 times. She was more than fantastic, simply unbelievable.
WHAT A FABULOUS VIDEO- THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! I love both, but I prefer Ella. I listen more "Soul" when Ella sings. Also more genuineness. I think Sarah sings more deliberately, more intellectually, and very mannered in her late recordings. . It's certainly very subjective, but I feel that Ellas radiates more happiness and joy when she sings. Sarah's best live album ever is Swings At the Tivoli 1963. I never tire of hearing it over and over again. I would like to point out these words from one of jazz's most important critics:Leonard Feather described Sarah's skills: “Recently I heard a classical, a pop and a jazz singer. A soprano, a contra-alto and a coloratura singer. A singer with the spontaneity of Ella Fitzgerald, the soul of Aretha Franklin, the warmth of Peggy Lee and the flawless phrasing of Carmen McRae. They were all on the same show and they were all Sarah Vaughan"
I can hear them both in todays female vocalist….who are continuing the legacy….Such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves, Nnenna Freelon, Rachelle Ferrell, Jazzmeia Horn, Samara Joy, Ledisi, and etc.
Also, I like to compare both singing the same song- then I assign "that" song to the version I enjoy the modt! But they are equally represented on the Diva 's top chart!
❤❤❤ BOTH ARE NUMBER 1. ELLA'S WAS LIQUID SILK AND SARAH'S WAS LIQUID GOLD ! NOW, WE HAVE PATTI AUSTIN, DIANNE KRALL, MAYSA LEAKS ÀND. LINDSEY WEBSTER .... DON'T FORGET NANCY WILSON
In terms of head voice I think Sarah Vaughn has better control over it. She has vibrato, whereas Ella almost never has vibrato in her head voice it seems. Not in this video. Though I’m not a vibrato freak anyway, but there’s other factors. Ella‘s head voice tended to sound a little bit pushed all the time, and abrasive and a little bit too harsh/bright. I don’t mind that sound as a choice, but it seems to be her only choice most of the time. Though I did appreciate her warm F5. Sarah can crescendo and decrescendo and have a bright tone and warmth in her voice and sustain and go from a long held notes and phrase different notes after coming down on the same breath and do everything with her head voice. So I was very impressed by that.
Completely ridiculous "duel". This is not "america's got talent". Those to ladies were both at the pinnacle of their game, unsurpassed, deserved icons of jazz, blues, ballads and R&B. My soul gets a little better listening to them.
I've never been able to choose It's like Biggie or Pac. They're two powerhouses with different approaches. Only wish I got to see Ella and Sassy do something together.
It's an easy choice for me ,Ella all the way ,she more flexible ,Blues ,Rock,Jazz and more of all round entertainer she was smooth as silk. I looked in my record collection i have one album of Sarah ,Ella i lost count, Cds and LPs she sang with all the great .From Sinatra ,Dean Martine , Nat cole ,Armstrong ,Tom Jones she has done it all.
Ella for me. Sarah always seems to be “putting on a display” rather than singing the song - I find the meaning of the song gets lost. Ella had all the talent and technique but she got out of the way of the song and only used technique to tell the story. Ella =🥇
I'm an Ella fan all the way - have been since I was a teenager - pure tone, vocal ability, and amazingly inventive. Sarah was excellent too, but for me there was a little too much artifice at times in her approach to the lyrics.
Both were the most absolutely towering figures in mid-century American Songbook music. Impossible to say one is better than the other. Ella had a certain brightness to her voice, her pitch was perfect and she burst with versatility (Sunshine of My Love!) Sarah had stunning drama and sweeping operatic high notes. To be a bit nit picky, Ella wasn't a deep interpreter of lyrics and Sarah could overdo that slushy style at times. I can listen to them both for long streches, but Dinah Washington is actually the only singer I never tire of listening to.
m.ruclips.net/video/KzgDpqoxUNc/видео.html skip to 5:00 for the okay alright part & the Sarah clip I’ve had for a while but it was from a performance of “Sometimes I’m Happy” at the 1964 Newport jazz festival which appears to no longer be on RUclips
Ella belts have more chest overtones and more of an edge mode of belting. She put more chest into her beltings consequently make hers more powerful than Sarah. I am marveled by Ella now.
This is a hard and unfair Competition Both Ladies used their magnificent voice to hypnotize their audience. However the two actually didn't do the same kind of songs, even though they were Jazz Queens 👑👑
I'm not going to say one singer is better than the other but Sarah's voice and phrasing speaks more to my emotional interpretations. Sarah's voice plays my emotional strings and vocal sensibilities like no other with her vocal tones, phrasings and style.

I’m the opposite. It’s all subjective
Ella shows the Pleasure of Singing. Sarah represents the Art of Song.
Las dos eran geniales
Interesting observations. I would describe it the other way around. To me Sarah seemed to just enjoy her sound more than the lyric, whereas Ella seemed more connected to the art form.
Ella's singing was silky and smooth. Her pitch was almost perfect. I enjoy her style way more. She was one of a kind.
I can't choose. Both insane vocally. I'd only really say that Sarah is more of a technical singer, whereas Ella more stylistic and gritty. But both had incredible technique when they wanted.
I think it’s the other way around…. Sarah is the stylistic one…. But in another breathe…. They both are skilled in both areas of style and technic.
I get you cause Sarah played piano and understood music very well. But Ella just had a natural and free ear. both with astronomical results.
Sarah. Love you Ella. But it’s Sarah for me.
Both great singers but Sarah had the ability to emotionally touch me so I'm team Sarah
It's funny because i don't hear and feel any emotion when she sings.i ear a great vocal technician...but émotion,no
@@christophepena2212 interesting
Ella going from Bb2 to Bb5 in only seconds is crazy. And Sarah’s lows are out of this world. These are two of the greatest voices of ALL time.
Perfectly said!
In the low notes, no one in the world can beat miss Sarah. In belts and head voice both are incredible
The Devine,. Sassy......... Sarah. She's the Blueprint. Both Stalwarts though.
Am just grateful that I am alive to enjoy these heavenly talents.Praise the Lord.
Sassy all day long. I love how she interprets a song, she transports me.

Sarah hands down. Her sound is like no other.
But when it comes to swinging and faster paces Ella is unmatched.
Yes ....but ella sounds like no other too...not even half a second and you know that it's her Who sings.
For me it's Sarah Vaughan. Her reach for notes is more effortless. She has a warmer tone for me and her timing is far superior. She also, in her live shows, showed more humour and intimacy with her audiences. That said, both are better than all the others.
A timing far superior!?...NO

Good thing she chose to stick with the superior art form of Jazz.
@@lubabalomahlombe451 I wouldn't say that jazz music is superior to classical music. They are two distinct and legitimate art forms.

Sarah hands down
I love both of em disciplined and technically sound singers both of em are.
Ellas voice is so agile and clean. Like water in a stream.

❤❤❤❤
How dare you make me pick between these two 😩
Si tambien pienso lo mismo
I like them both but Sarah I really love
For me, Sarah wins hands down. I still consider her to be the best of all time.
These two legends both fell in love with my favorite singer's voice in the late and great Phyllis Hyman.
Both are legendary singers and vocalists but I just prefer Sarah more because she plays with her timbre more
Both are the Legends of Jazz Vocalists. Both are the national treasures of USA!
Sarah’s voice was more interesting, but everything that came out of Ella’s throat was perfect. Then again, same case with Sarah.
Two absolute Legends of music! This is Real talent and professionalism on a grand scale.
They are both Jazz, Music, and Vocal Icons. Ella is my absolute favorite singer and i also love and

No contest Simply Sassie

MAGNÍFICAS,GLORIOSAS,ESCANDALOSAS NA ARTE DE INTERPRETAR CANÇÕES !!!!
I love Ella but... La Davina is, for me, the greatest singer that ever lived. Peace.
I like Sarah for her poise, her style on stage.
Ella brought me to the dance so I’ll stick with her but Sarah sure is mighty fine!
Ella !!!! Even tho Sarah was brilliant…Ella just has this connection to Song that NO ONE has 😭😭

Apples v. Oranges. Both unique treasures, pointless to compare them.

I prefer Sarah Vaughan for technical and Ella for mood in general (though I think older Sarah edges out too)
They're both equally talented in their own unique way, at the top of the Jazz field
These two fabulous gals are gifted with undescribable vocalviscosity so smoothe and pristine...
10:14 haha
Imma say Sarah bc I'm baised but Ella is my second fav "jazz singer"
They were both superb singers with unique styles. I have original vinyl LPs of both ladies. I prefer to listen to lots of Ella with a dash of Sarah.
.......a Sassy dash, at that
Ella.
It's an easy choice for me ,Ella all the way ,she more flexible ,Blues ,Rock,Jazz and more of all round entertainer she was smooth as silk. I looked in my record collection i have one album of Sarah ,Ella i lost count, Cds and LPs she sang with all the great .From Sinatra ,Dean Martine , Nat cole ,Armstrong ,Tom Jones she has done it all.
Ella spoke very highly of Sarah's voice
Vocally it is Sarah Vaughan for me. But Ella scats faster though
Two grooves like Trane& Canonball
Ella for me. Sarah always seems to be “putting on a display” rather than singing the song - I find the meaning of the song gets lost. Ella had all the talent and technique but she got out of the way of the song and only used technique to tell the story. Ella =🥇
It depends on the song...some Ella wins, some Sarah wins.
If Ella is a choice for best singer, she always wins for me. I respect everyone's opinion. My ear tells me Ella, always.
Love you Ella but the Divine one is mine
Sombody could tell me the name of song than Miss Sara Vaughan sing in F5 or the name of album?
Useless comparison, they are both wonderful.
It's a compilation. It serves a purpose.
Sarah was warned not to get into an uptempo battle with Ella cause she’d get worn out in the end!
I'm an Ella fan all the way - have been since I was a teenager - pure tone, vocal ability, and amazingly inventive. Sarah was excellent too, but for me there was a little too much artifice at times in her approach to the lyrics.
It's an acquired taste son but you crack on.
Ella tem muito mais swing e Sarah é mais lírica. Para meu gosto pessoal gosto mais do swing extraordinário da Ella. Ella quebra tudo!!
Both were the most absolutely towering figures in mid-century American Songbook music. Impossible to say one is better than the other. Ella had a certain brightness to her voice, her pitch was perfect and she burst with versatility (Sunshine of My Love!) Sarah had stunning drama and sweeping operatic high notes. To be a bit nit picky, Ella wasn't a deep interpreter of lyrics and Sarah could overdo that slushy style at times. I can listen to them both for long streches, but Dinah Washington is actually the only singer I never tire of listening to.
There is no battle 🥰 it's one Queen doing her thing after the other one that's All ❤️🖤💚✊🏾❤️🖤💚🥰
Do you have the link for Ella singing ok alright you win and Sarah Vaughan singing at 20:05
