I don't know man, there's just something about the old generation that makes it sound better.

The old generations is full of legends, I mean who can compete against Whitney, Celine or Mariah ?

I mean.... The old generation has WHITNEY...

How y’all gonna put them against Whitney lol 🤦🏿‍♂️

Old generation because THEY ARE BORN TO SAAAAANGGGG

Yes Mariah and withney 💖

How you gonna put ally Brooke against Aretha Franklin that’s suicide

The old generation is the best! Whitney Houston 👑 (DIVA), Mariah Carey (Diva), Celine Dion (Diva) ❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The old generation are all queen and legend!!!

As for Mariah, I think it’s better to use her If It’s Over performance from the Grammy Awards cuz she hits multiple F#5 there

Mariah Carey Whitney Houston Celine Dion

Whitney Houston,patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Mariah carey.

Mariah.... 😍😍😍😍

Old generation. Especially my queens Lara,Sohyang,and Mariah 💜💜💜💜💜

The OLD Gen is absolutely the best and wins this 👍 Whitney, Celine, Mariah, Lara, Patti are uncomparable!

Ms. Whitney can not be compared!!!

undoubtedly, older generation have better singing techniques in general. but we can't deny the potential of some skilled vocalists from newer generation like jojo, tori, son seung yeon or morissette. natalie *alone* though can *compete* with older generations effortlessly.

Sorry. Whitney C#5 killed the poor Gaga. Lara's E5 caused an earthquake and Mariah's F#5 was so effortless. She wasn't even trying. 😂 WHITNEY, LARA AND MARIAH ARE MY FAVORITE FEMALE VOCALISTS OF ALL TIME!

You can t compare Whitney, Celine, Mariah and Lara with anyone. They are unique one of a kind, their voices music and overall legacy will remain and stand the passing of time.

Mariah, Celine, Whitney... When you want to learn vocal.. (Honorable mention: Barbra)

Patti's A5 is deadly. Not only is it SUSTAINED, but then she added her vibrato...it's one of the most resonant notes I've ever heard.

Old generation because it's not only about vocal, it's about their special energy, their wave, their entire approach... It's quiet different. And it goes from within.. It's about charisma and individuality.

The most unbalanced vocal battle ever 😂 the old gen is too strong. They surpass the young gen in terms of both quantity (number of singers) and quality (vocal excellence).

If you think that kelly Clarkson is still a new generation singer like 🔽

Old generation were born to sing. They will always be queens and will always remain inside our hearts.

The old generation hands down !!👑👑 Their singing is so flawless so effortless and so natural ❤👑

Like lady Gaga said once: I’m not getting in the lane of Mariah ... no thank you.

Ms. Whitney Houston!💕

Who can compete against the vocal trinity Celine/Mariah/Whitney

Did yall know I could make videos that are NOT lara centric 😍😍 WIG

Rest In Peace Whitney Houston! Rest In Peace Aretha Franklin! You ladies will always be with god in heaven.

Mariah Carey is incomparable. She is one of the greatest vocalist of all time!

Patti labelle’s A5 is so strong it sounds like an A6

F#5 winner is mariah

Instead of calling them "old"... You should've put Legendary

Whitney had the beauty in her voice like no one!

Old school is the best It completely shatters the today’s music.

Old generation on every note. However, there are some excellent belters in the new generation as well (specifically Natalie, Haeri, Seungyeon and Amber).

You can go crazy over the New generation But also take a look at the older generations, The ones who did it the BEST

I do love Gaga and she's comfortably one of the best of this vocal generation, plus her belt was very good but Whitney is the definition of effortless

Mis favoritas de la vieja generacion: Celine dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey y lara Fabian, de la nuestra creo que Ariana, tory Kelly, Jessi j y demi Lovato

Old generation 100%! They SLAYED! ❤️

Old generation 😍😍😍

old gen. rocks! They're born naturally talented plus their performance will gives you goosebumps...for sure!

I appreciate that you used some of today's best vocalists in there! Too often people try to compare the worst of today with the best of the past! Bravo for that!!

New gen of singers are way no match with the 90’s and 80’s vocalists. I think Celine, Whitney and Mariah were the last batch of quality vocalists with depths and emotions. New ones are just screaming no feelings and artistry

The old generations ofcourse THEY ARE LEGENDS. New genarations are also amazing.

"Old" generation !! Experience...says it all !!!

OMG @ Whitney's C#5 ~ It's like pure power oozing out of her as if she's an atomic bomb. Whitney was truly the greatest voice of all!

The first one killed me! Barbara vs Demi!😂 Wow. Poor demi

The old generation...Aretha,Barbra,Celine,Mariah,Whitney, Patti

Old generation come thru come back, let your kids be you

They were all amazing!!!🙌🔥👑❤💯

The Old Generation devoured all the food. The new generation might be hungry, but there’s nothing left to eat. Sorry.

They all are amazing and they all have there own unique voice which makes it even more fun to hear them all seperately in compilation

Everybody knows that when Whitney was in her prime, nobody in the universe could touch her!!! NOBODY!!!

I just love this video! :)

The old generation is so amazing with some of my favourite singers of all time !! But I think that there is amazing talents in the new generation. According tout my personal preferences, I would say that for some of the notes, both generations were tie. But overall, TEAM OLD GENERATION WON !! Amazing video as always !

That Monica G5 always leaves my black ass trembling! Never ready for it, DAMN !!! Barbra doesn't breathe our air Céline's D5s 😩

Are we just gonna ignore patti labelles A5? That was amazing

Queen Whitney no one can defeat his angelic voice

Great video 😎

trinity Resonance always Win Mariah, So Hyang, Lara Fabian.

The old generation is and will always be the best ❤️ who can compete with Whitney 💖Mariah 💞Celine 💓

Whitney Houston's vocals was the eighth wonder of the world and second to none! Vocals is more than about octaves and range. Whitney did more than hold notes and riffs and her passionate rhythm wasn't a skill, it was pure and natural. No one came behind her!!!!!

Can't be replaced by these wanna bes... Mariah and Whitney are the gems... Gems are not getting old!

The older will always be the greatest 😍😍😍😍Mariah is a queen 😍😍😍

Old generation had better technique

The HUGE difference I'm seeing between the older generation of legends and younger generation of singers is the lack of emotion. You feel the music with Whitney, Mariah, and Celine. But it's just the show for the younger ones.

5:31 .... Patti LaBelle definitely got that one. Hitting an A5 like that at 67 years old (2011)... the legends won it for me.

Older generation. Also, it's something to be said for soul in singing, an extraordinary ingredient when one has it. Great video, really.

Resonance for old generation better they are amazing, torry kelly vocal was amazing too

Both are amazing

5:30 this deadass sounds like an A6 go off queen

The old generation because they have something called gift back then. No shade🤣 But never the last they can doth sang better than me🤷🏾‍♀️💗

Old school won this but damn Tori Kelly gave Celine a run for her money with that D5

That old generation seem to be stronger singers, I always enjoyed listening to them.

Old generation win effortlessly...

The legends won for sure! But the young artists were asome also

Ariana and Demi are the only ones that can carry forth and if done right become divas if they deserve it (they're still young) but at this stage (coming from a vocal coach) the old generation wins. But still Ariana and Demi have great potential considering the rest of the generation

The legends will remain #Whitney #Mariah #Celine There will not be another Whitney or Mariah or a Celine!

5:30 when i see a spider

That A5 was breath-taking from both, but Damn, Patti killed it.

1: Barbra 2: I love Lady gaga, but Whitney👑 3: Celine 4: Kelly 5: Lara 6: Beyoncè 7: Mariah 8: Monica 9: Lisa 10: Jessie 11: Kim 12: Aretha 13: Vanessa

We'll never forget the old generation cause is our childhood.

These are really fair matches because all of singers here supports the notes. So, this one is about voice colour competition. This is really show that old generation singers really born to be singer. They also have very good voice colour not just good technique.

All veterans! Especially Lara, Mariah and Sohyang!!!

The Big problem for me is that most of the time they are singing different vowels that affect the way the note is produced and they are also holding it for different times so it’s almost impossible to compare.

I think everyone did awesome SLAYYYYYED

The old generation became the legends they are for one reason: they put time and effort into honing their craft. Not simply learning how to hit notes, but how to distinguish themselves from other singers as well. That first comparison highlighted why the older generation are superior vocalists. You could hear Lovato straining and shouting before eventually hitting the note while Barbara effortlessly and beautifully hit the note. If you've ever heard the concert version it's equally flawless from Barbara. Back then artists strive for perfection because they believed their fans deserve the best. Now, most artists don't bother because they know their rabid fans will support them no matter what. It's crazy because nowadays cracking voices and missing notes is commonplace for truly live performances from these alleged professionals. Back in the day, those things would be career enders. Let's not even talk about the lipsyncing and those not so live, "live" performances of today where artists mimic along to live tracks with all the breathiness and technical difficulties to give the impression they are actuality live. There is an artist on this list (I won't say her name here) who had to admit that one of her very important performances was mimed long after she performed it. Looking back at the mimed performance you could see the tricks employed to fool the audience such as removing the earpiece to suggest there was sound coming from it and brushing up against the mic to give feedback at a strategic time. Another artist (also on this list) vowed to her fans that she would never ever lipsync. She performed at a big sporting event that later admitted that EVERY performance at the venue has had pre recorded vocals and instruments for logistical reasons. When you break down the logistics of this event you can see why it makes sense to prerecord all vocals and instruments. However, this artist's rabid fans still insist that she was the exception and that her performance was live. 🙄 A few years ago Filipino artist, Charice, was getting primed for what should've been a successful crossover. She performed with her idol Celine Dion. Celine gave her advice to find her own voice and be herself. I don't know if that had any bearing on the personal decision she made a few years later to become a man, but I'm sure that's not what Celine meant. Like many of the singers on this list from Asian countries (don't want to sound ignorant by assuming they're all Filipino), Charice, didn't have her own artistry or vocal identity. These artists mimic legendary singers rather than develop something unique to them. That, I believe, was Charice's failure to succeed in the US and the reason American record companies aren't flocking to Asia to sign some of these vocal powerhouses. The legends on this list took time to develop their vocal identity while much of today's artists try to mimic those that came before them-- and even one another as it's becoming harder to distinguish who's who on today's records. That's why the older generation is superior far and wide. Lisa Fischer isn't considered legendary in the mainstream, but she one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Despite having a deeper voice, Lisa can hit the whistle note with flawless efficiency. She's a once in a lifetime talent that sadly doesn't get her due. I'm glad she is mentioned here.

Lara sohyang mariah are queens, morissette is their princess.

Thumbnail is on point because those 4 are some of the best singers I know

The comparison are very unmatched 😂😂 todays generation are just singer not a vocalist

Old generations move you and touch your heart leaving you speechless. Now there can be good vocals but is not so easy to feel that electricity in your skin. The one underrated who is so good I will always say is Jessie J. Ariana amazing vocals but she cannot move me like Whitney, Celine Mariah..Music industry has changed a lot.

Old generation is a generation of genius and legends !

The pure difference between the old and new gen is that the new gen, they can sing well, but the old gen, u can feel their passion when they sing

When tori kelly was singin i was like "I see you miss *celine dion comes on* nevermind Ion seen you😂😂💀"
