Without try hard antics, i.e. ridiculous midget and silly performances hint hint and wearing a meat dress hint hint. An example of impact without try hard antics would be Beyoncé dropping her new album with NO promotion, selling 3 million WW and never leaving billboard 200 top 5 since it was dropped. Or the SL video, that the whole world tried to imitate, even the POTUS. Adele and the whole 21 era or Britney's snake performance etc.

Keep it cute!!

From poll options: Britney

No one can compare She's literally gimmick free.

... and then the OP added poll options

Rihanna just singing about an umbrella

Gaga

Marilyn Monroe was a singer too I think her.
Half a decade after her death people still talk about her. A true legend. She's in the history books.

Adele.

Rihanna is close to Britney's level

Britney, Adele.

Beyonce >>>>> Britney = Adele >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the others

You mean half a century?

Britney & Bey > The others.

Yes

from those opinions, britney

Britney Spears

Oh lord, y"all (beyhive) will never let this go. No-one cares I'm tired off yall it's not like she is pulling 21 sales anyway( not even 1/3, and when it over she won't have 1/7 21sales). She has no memorable hits, just above mediocre sales. The only memorable thing about her curreny era is her strategy, everything about her era will soon be forgotten.

Thank you best female artist of all time. Amazing discography

Beyonce.
And it isn't even close
