The Rob & Kat were discussing the new collaboration between Sam Smith & John Legend that they did for Red Nose Day (watch that performance here) when they realized that they had differing opinions about who has the better voice.

The Rob

This is a very difficult decision for me to make. I find Sam Smith and John Legend to be very similar artists, yet concurrently very different artists. When I put together my Top 10 songs of 2014 blog three months ago, I said that Legend's "All of Me" was the BEST song to come out in 2014. HOWEVER, I said Smith's "Stay With Me" was the SECOND best song of the year. Then there's the fact that I actually bought Sam Smith's album "In the Lonely Hour". I can't say I've ever purchased any John Legend albums. BUT, I didn't think the Sam Smith album was all it was cracked up to be, so there's that, too. While I would almost consider it a tie, I guess if I had to pick, I'd call myself a bigger fan of John Legend than Sam Smith.

Personally, my decision is based solely off of radio play. What I mean is that I only know the songs that have been played on the radio from these 2 artists. I think John Legend is incredibly talented. He has a beautiful voice. That being said, there is just something really special about Sam Smith's voice. I can't pinpoint the exact quality that his voice possesses, but whatever it is it is beautiful and unique. When I hear him, I know it is his voice, without a doubt. I love that he has a memorable voice, and that's why I am #TeamSam.

 

Let us know who you think is better.
