Kelly and Beyonce both have their strengths and their weaknesses. Beyonce has always been an uninhibited singer while Kelly spent years holding back in the vocal department(that $#!* is over now);but there is no denying the quality of Kelly's voice. She has a much better tone than Beyonce which lends well to her vocal versatility(the girl can sing any genre and sound great) and while Beyonce may be a decent "yodeler" Kelly's falsetto crushes Beyonce's any day. The girl just has a pretty head voice. I hope to hear her use more of it on this next album of hers.
