Beyonce is the greatest performer of all time

Now there are many performers that have graced stages past and present but if your talking about an artists who is the greatest than you have to not only compare then to everyone who's known in public record who was a performer but you must look at the definition and dynamics of a performer. This is an argument of her talent and being the greatest PERFORMER of all time not how many record sales she has that is irrelevant and has nothing to do with her talent even tho she has broken over 250 world records in music has more awards than Michael Jackson as well. In your argument you defined a performer let revisit that statement Performer- Someone who can portray a role or demonstrate a skill before an audience. Best-most productive of good offering or producing the greatest advantage, utility, or satisfaction. beyonce's vocal ability and stamina versatility makes her the "Best Performer" nobody has displayed the ability to perform a full out dance number while hitting e5,c5,ebf (which are difficult notes to sustain while not moving let alone dancing) notes throughout the entire song without being off key once while maintaining eye contact with the audience also while continuously performing. id like to counter your statement of -Michael Jackson's costumes add to his performance. He does not "NEED" them to put on a good show, they just make his shows more entertaining- using the aid of costumes and props is needed when you alone cannot sustain a performance which there is nothing wrong with however beyonce does not need all of those thing to entertain if her television special a mic and a light where she had nothing except a orchestra and a microphone and entertained a large crowd. ( also the dvd was a number 1 selling performance dvd by the way) now lets break why she is the best, we will do this in sections starting by comparison to just three performers who were known as "the greats" COMPARISON OF GREAT PERFORMERS MICHAEL JACKSON< BEYONCE Michael Jackson was one of the greatest performers of all time his gritty yet smooth voice his incredible dance technique and his for lack of a better term swagger made him a icon however Michael Jackson lip sang most of his performances he could not sustain his voice while he dances and was constantly out of breath where beyonce could sing very difficult notes while dancing with ease there was a performance of her song greenlight in which she was jumping up and down continuously while effortlessly singing c5 notes which are hard notes to sing also when performing Michael would occasionally take a break meaning he would stop singing and dancing periodically just walking back and fourth across the stage to conserve energy where as beyonce continuously performs throughout her entire segment without stopping even tho she cannot dance as well as Michael Jackson she dances with voracity while ing at the top of her range with ease where as michael jackson depended on dancing solely even during slow songs. beyonce can belt out a beautiful slow song as transition into a dance song with ease and grace. ELVIS PRESELY Elvis was a great performer his costumes and signature moves made him a legend but compared to beyonce hes ameture at best, elvis needed gimmick at costumes to make an enjoyable performance beyonce uses raw talent and nothing else. her voices is more powerful than elvis's and her dancing abiliy is better the strength in her voice alone make her a better performer than elvis also her versatility with her voice and dancing makes her more enjoyable to watch than elvis. PRINCE Prince's radical performances and daring voice and stage presence and guitar ability makes him a true contender however prince doesn't have the powerhouse voice and versatility again we vist the term gimmick which means a unique exaggerated features or behavior to demand attention. as great and talented as prince is he needed to be radical to command a stage beyonce need again only her raw talent. even though beyonce doesn't play and instrument she has proven her voice and pin point stage presence is the only instrument she need, beyonce performed princes song beautiful ones so well that prince was notedly jealous of the singers performance so much so he didn't allow beyonce to put the performance on her dvd even tho other singers have performed the song. if youd like to continue the argument i will provide fact of science to prove why she is the greatest performer of all time
