Money Face-Off: Maria Bartiromo versus Erin Burnett

Wish you had included more of the professional bio on Erin.

LUV EM BOTH. ALSO BECKY QUICK.

My vote is for Erin. Maria Bartoromo talks too fast, too loud , and her voice is unpleasant when she raises it . to a high pitch to make a point .Also I don't like it when she keeps interrupting investment experts she's interviewing. I would rather hear their opinions, not hers.
experts she's interviewimg

I always ask myself " who would I marry--given the choice?", and given the chance--It is the terrific , georgeous, sharp, and mind boggling Erin.

Bartiromo is loud and shrill----plays to the camera. Burnett is much better as a focused reporter----has a most personable way and charm. It's not a beauty contest but if it were Maria comes in second with her constant change of hair-dos and tired jaded demeanor projecting "been there--done that!!"

I'd like to check out Erin's portfolio...as well as her other assets.

What the hell does post #27 epistle got to do with the subject?

Ted.

You raised a good point. I deleted that comment because it was obviously meant for another post.

Erin is being over-used and may wear out her welcome, if she's not careful. In any case, the two of them sure beat the daylights out of that over-exposed idiot, Cramer. He is taxing my mute button.

An idiot is one who can express himself only by using 4-letter words or screaming.

Maria and Erin, however, are winners.

Folks:

We also changed the photo in response to the comments we received.

Maria has a twang to her voice that irritates me greatly, and I am also sick and tired of her patronizing attitude! I read this comment and agree 100% So patronizing!

Maria has those killer lips. I'd sop her up with a biscuit.

I have been a regular listener to Squawk Box or Squawk on the Street for years. You are going to lose me(and others) if you keep letting Creamer appear on the morning slot. For comparison, go back and listen to a tape of an old show when Emma(from the UK) was on for a while. Her voice is very soothing and Creamer is very irritating for someone from the Southwest. Tim

Jon....looks like one heck of a response to your poll Erin or Maria. Also so good observations concerning which of the two personalities wear best on we viewers. Compliments on the quick corrections .....your site is first class.

Maria is by far the best in all ways.

What a pathetic promotional series by AOL Finance. You post photos of a group pf controversial public figures and then ask the viewing public -- most of whom can't find the US on a world map -- to vote on who is better, prettier, classier, etc.

Why not just post a couple of photos of the female business reporters and simply ask: Whose face would you prefer to blow your load into?

At least *that* poll my yield some interesting results.

Pathetic.

WHERE IS THE COMPARISON? ERIN HAS TO LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.LISTEN TO HER USE OF ''VERY FUN ETC." LIMITED IS HER COMMAND OF BRILLIANT QUESTIONS TO ASK HER INTERVIEWEES.
MARIA IS BRILLIANT, KNOWS HER TOPICS, AND DOES HER HOMEWORK.SINCE WHEN ARE WE JUDGED ON OUR FACES?

I'd like to second Marilyn Islami's comment #37...anyone who saw the Alan Greenspan special with Maria Bartiromo.....saw a consummate class act. This was last night Monday 17th. You don't tug on Superwomans' cape....you don'd spit into the wind.....you don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger...and you don't mess around with...Maria,

Maria, all the way! Erin is a common beauty. Everyone looks like her. Maria is exotic and extraordinary in her beauty, not to mention, you can clearly see, she has the passion for money news where Erin appears to be hired shearly for her looks and given news to read. It is not the same. Maria worked her way up to where she is, with her savvy for reporting stocks right on the Wallstreet floor. Erin just showed up one day. Maria is another Barbara Walters. Erin is just another pretty face.

What about Alexis Christoforous at CBS?
