Call me when JB and 1D have their BOMT and Oops as well as their coming of age and breaking away from the teen scene songs like Slave, Toxic, MATM, Gimme More. Let alone Legendary performances.

This is all due to the Radio ban
which ended right when Toxic was released and is still played on radio. Similar thing happened to Madonna.

what legendary performances? I'll give you the slave 4 u at the vmas and Madonna kiss but other than that.... ???? yes she was an amazing performer but...

and one direction and JB did have their major break out songs like baby one more time (one time/one thing) and the other songs sans toxic arent nearly as "legendary" or "iconic" as atrl thinks

Some don't seem to get that

britney was never a big enough phenomenon to be on Marilyn Monroes level

And the Oops performance. That's at least 3. When will others' faves?

Honey, there's a world outside of ATRL, you know?
Everyone has a break out song. Whenever, Wherever, Genie In a Bottle, Crazy in Love, but when will any others' faves have a song chart at #1 literally everywhere in the world, where it charted? Sell MILLIONS of copies, and be remembered and used a decade and a half after being released?


Let me not get started about music videos.

This all sounds like Britney to me

FTR I am not in this thread to discredit Bey.
Unlike her bandwagon stans who are blind and will believe everything they're told like the GP trying to discredit Brit ha legend status

beyonce nothing at all. Britney just a little bit

Delusion, Britney was a global pop phenomenon, she was EVERYWHERE and if you believe otherwise you are just ignorant.

Weren't the Beyoncé stans just yesterday discrediting Marilyn Monroe's legacy and trying to call her an icon in that "What made Marilyn Monroe a legend thread?" Don't grasp at and hide behind an artist your stanbase regularly throws to the wolves. The Beystans even argued against the Britney stans that Marilyn wasn't the first/most important to do anything you posted. Get out of here with this blatant transparency

Princess Diana was a figurehead who tried to branch out through charity. Again, she's another celebrity whom Beyonce stans would normally shoot down saying she was "manufactured." Why are you riding her coattails in this thread?

Michael Jackson - Didn't change music videos. He created the epic music video. The rest I agree with (except with the structure of music).

You put these stars up against Britney and what Britney is infamous for is the Lolita image and the subsequent dirty phase followed by a massive breakdown and comeback. I can give you all kinds of small things she did like the popularization of dubstep (first on major label music in 2007 and then as a viable top 40 option in 2011), the revival of a new wave of teen-pop (that mixed R&B with Bubblegum-pop), etc. but let's compare Beyonce with the same standards. What has Beyonce done new in the industry?

Britney is not a legend. Sorry, but she burned her own house down. She'll be remembered as a pop icon and just that. There's an amount of respect that comes with being a legend and Britney just doesn't have that. #sorrynotsorry.

I'm not beyonce stan but she has all this ambition and talent that's an indication that her career will extend for a lot longer than the 7 years of activity Britney had as a decent performer. Britney produced big hits and that's as far as it goes. There's nothing about her exterior that makes her legendary. Even a lot of her performances are overrated.

Thisss

Britney is the major force and is credited for reviving teen pop.

And in before "releasing an unannounced album."
-Everyone knew 5 was coming and then it was announced that it was "pushed back/scrapped"
-SuperBowl
-WW Tour
-Pepsi
-H&M

All promotion

"Can anybody compare to these two"



Yes, Christina Aguilera can.

The delusion in this thread.

You can't say one is a legend and the other isn't. Both have made major contributions to the industry.

It's a shame that Beyoncé stans feel the need to tear down and discredit other artists to lift their fave up.

Lol @ the revival of new age teen pop. I guess the backstreet boys, Robyn and the spice girls didn't exist before 1998 then, or....

Robyn never really did teen pop and The Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls were both groups, which were pretty common at the time. There weren't any solo female artists doing teen pop at the time, really, and after Britney came around every label started pushing solo female artists like Christina, Jessica Simpson, P!nk, Mandy Moore, etc.

Lol, wtf? How is Show Me Love and Do You Know any less teen pop than any song in BOMT? It's literally the exact same sound and production methods.

I don't care what type of act they were, the fact that anyone would attribute the popularity to the recurring sound of new wave To Britney is truly hilarious, but ignorance is indeed bliss. You can say Britney started the trend of blonde white girls bearing mid drifts but the type of music being drafted by Max Martin for her wasn't a game changer, considering he had been popularizing that sound 3 years prior to Britney even hitting the scene with other acts such as Robyn, BSB and NSync.

That "trend of blonde white girls" led to the creation of some of today's biggest stars, so I would say that her influence was pretty strong. Do you think artists like Christina and P!nk ever would have seem the light of day if Britney hadn't started that "trend"? She had enough influence on the industry to get pretty much every major label to sign solo, female, pop artists.

And Show Me love is eurodance and Do You Know is europop, technically. ...Baby One More Time is actual teen pop.

Maybe now, but in 50 years I think she will be more of an after-thought.
