Who y’all got?

I got Mike ofc Beyoncé and Ye.

It’s crazy because I’m 24 and still know who’s superior. Nobody can’t put on a show like these three.

Its Lady Gaga and her only competition is Beyonce. Gaga is theatrics. Bey is agility.
Michael comes in third. Prince 4th.

You can lock thread now btw. Makes no sense disagreeing with my list and only trolls will argue it for attention

Jimi Hendrix
James Brown
John Coltrane
Prince
and for bands Grateful Dead, Phish, Talking Heads

so many different categories of live greatness (showmanship, vocal skill, virtuosity, improvisation, energy) but those are the ones that come to mind as my favorites

for a more well rounded list I'd add some vocal powerhouse and also MJ/Beyonce type overall entertainer but idk who i'd pick first for those categories

best live performers are in the dubstep/edm communities. the live energy is unmatched to corny r&b/rap concerts. just don't compare at all

bruce

It's Mike

then prince then ye

then beyonce

James Brown
MJ
Prince
Beyonce
Talking heads
Bowie
Janet Jackson
Ye
Wayne
DMX

DJ performances are cringe

These blokes

Surprised Bruno Mars didn't get mentioned yet.

He's absolutely one of the best modern live performers.

Usher deserves a mention too.

gaga over MJ?

tf

true but mike still better

GG Allin

real one detected

Give me a performance of MJs that comes anywhere close to this
vimeo.com/97569552

Weeknd is a much better performer than Ye

James brown/MJ
Prince
Beyonce
Jackie wilson
Stevie wonder
Whitney houston
Janet jackson
Kanye west
The weeknd

Etc

MJ and Bey are of course in their own league but for the modern acts I dont think anyone knows how to perform quite like Weeknd or Bruno, those should be considered the upper echelon of performers for 2010s artists
