Yesterday was the first time I see Julia performing live and i must say i am impressed. However I think Majida can take the audience further and higher with her voice whereas i noticed that Julia's voice has a limit that she cant overpass.

You can't compare them, the kind of songs that julia sings are better performed by julia than majida, and inversly.
Both apples and bananas are fruits, it's not wrong to say that YOU like bananas more than apples, but you can't say "bananas taste better than apples".
Majida's voice register is wider than julia's register because she is an opera singer, I'm not much into opera.
Julia's voice timber is softer than Majida's timber and it relaxes me more.

Both are great, am not gonna add to what already have been said regarding their voices and the comparison between them! They're different, kel wehdeh ela wa2ta

Some of their best:
Men lamma lta2ayna, Jareedeh and Tawq el Yasameen for Majida
Habibi, 3an jadd and Ghab w tarakni for Julia

[Faithful]

Both of them are great and have wonderful voices ... kil wa7de chi .. they have different style

I like the old kids songs of Majida : Tiri tiri ya 3asfoura, 3andi bissi isma sissi, 3ide l yom 3idi, .....
Also i like : Ya Beirut, 3am bi7lamak ya 7elem ya lebnan, kalimat, khidni habibi 3al hana, ma 7ada bi 3abbi matra7ak bi albi, ya nsb3 l ma7abbi, 2isma3 albi w chouf da2ato..

I like all the partriotic songs of Julia......ktir thawrajiye

I prefer Julia in every way.
Magida's voice is sooo annoying I don't know how u like her. Hitting high notes doesn't necessarily mean u have a nice voice, it just means u hit high notes! That said some of her songs are O.K, especially when there isn't a lot of screaming in them. Julia's voice on the other hand has many layers all at once (I don't know how to explain it) which i find fascinating. There is base and higher notes all at once...and there is a lot of authenticity and feeling...U don't feel like she is showing off..look at me I can sing opera hehe. and unlike what someone in here said she is very flexible in her styles. Wherever she wants to go her voice follows. Plus no one can beat her orienatal jazz! ...
WHEN I HEARD BOTH OF THEM TALK POLITICS mama mia that was it for me lol. It confirmed my first choice :)
