I'd say madonna, simply because she has been in a few more movies, has been in soundtracks and specifically has been the main actress in a musical aka evita
Considering Whitney Houston hasn't put out a new album in over 9 years being dead and all but Madonna is still cranking out music over about the last 40 years, it's not hard to see who is more famous and will be for a good while longer. Sadly, the amazing talent Whitney had - much more than Madonna - was wasted because she couldn't keep her shit together while Madonna is excellent at keeping her shit together.
That may be true but I personally haven't heard a "new" Madonna song since like 2003 or so.
@Miristheiss Well, at least we have Marilyn Manson who is still rather active...

Famous for different styles of music. I'd say equal.

Both of them are equally tied because they started in the early 80s with their first albums (Madonna 1983 and Whitney 1985) and for over 25 years, both of them became Iconic influential legends for the world.
Wow that is a tough one. As far as being famous is concerned, I would say in my opinion, about equal. Of course Whitney is no longer with us, so you only hear about her in the past tense now, sadly.
Kinda a silly question to ask
Shoulda been obvious
Even if you asked a better singer that might of been more competitive but i doubt that
Really? Madonna had a very narrow vocal range/vocal talent but was a top level entertainer with stage presence. Houston had top level vocals but didn't go much for the stage show stuff. Madonna had to learn new vocals just to do a musical (Evita). Houston would have done it better in her sleep. But this is different from who's more famous. Have to look at record sales for that in my opinion.
Madonna 17 albums
Whitney 9
Not sure fame is fair. For example you could be a saint and help 500 poor kids get an education but if your name is never in the press you won't be famous. When I was a kid, they both were probably equally famous but Whitney's voice was respected. Madonna's never was. They were really famous for different reasons/flavors of whatever.
I voted Madonna, sorry Whitney, love you more lol but Madonna is way more famous.
I have heard of Madonna before I did of Whitney Houston
Whitney is bar far unique... she has gods voice.. gospel... best women voice of our time.. no match... if you say entertainment then maybe Madonna... but vocals.. no comparison
Both are pretty equal in that respect, however, Whitney sama ended up in a lot of unfortunate situations due to one of her most famous boyfriends Bobby Brown sama.
Honestly i can't remember who either of them are. I've heard rhe names but i dont remember.
Whitney Houston no contest. She’s got the best vocal range ever.
How does that have to do with popularity
Because that’s what got her famous
Madonna. Naturally. How many so-called millennials and Gen Zeds even know who Whitney Houston is?
Madonna is more famous (because she's white), but Whitney Houston had better music.
@Yaaten she was huge in 80s
I think Madonna but it’s a tricky one since they both were in movies too and famous around the same time
Difficult. But I think Whitney was more famous. Not much in it , But I prefer Whitney..
I'm gonna say Madonna they both had a lot of number 1 hits thats very difficult choice to make
I don't know Whitney Houston, so i guess it's Madonna. by the way Her song was in Die another day opening.
The woman who had been "thinking a lot about blowing up the WhiteHouse", while President Trump was still allowed to live in it.
I dont know never knew anything about either of them really
Madonna like a virgin. Lol
@yaaten I think she has a kid.
But there are plenty of girls who are "like a virgin" these days. It's like when you're on eBay and see something listed that's "Like New."
Wow, tough one.
It is so close I cannot decide.
Both are eqaully famous.
