No. Never was and never will be.

After CIL EVERYONE was copying her live horns. Ashanti, the girl who sang One Thing, Rihanna etc.

Miley hasn't had a smash since BEYONCE was released in December. WTF are you talking about? BEYONCE has sold more than 3 millon copies in less than 3 months. The only thing that's come close to overshadowing that is the Frozen phenomenon.

I would also say she was the it girl in 2003 when Dangerously in Love was released. All 4 singles peaked in the top 5 in the US with the first two singles peaking at #1. in addition, both the album and lead single were at #1 at the same time in both the US and the UK, which was a feat never done before by a female artist.
Then she was the it girl again in 2008-2009 when If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies, and Halo smashed back-to-back, and you can't really deny the influence of that era. Everyone and their mother knows the singles ladies dance, and it was parodied in multiple television shows and videos seen the world over, and still is to this day.

Ugh, so tacky. Can you not? I can't believe people are condoning this ****

Beyoncé is not, and never will be, an 'it.' She's a consistent figure in pop culture/music.

Where have people been the last few decades?

no, she was never a fad
artists with true longevity typically aren't
why be an "it" girl for 6 months when you can be THE girl for 20 years

Not just her fans though. Beyonce was the star of the group, and DC will always be associated with her. It's not fair, but a lot of people see it that way.

Yes, I didn't see her at her debut album but in the I Am Sasha Fierce era she was HUGE and nothing came close, just Gaga a year later

She's never been as huge as Britney and Gaga were at their peaks but I doubt she cares considering she's currently outselling both of them.

Nope...

She is ALWAYS in season, "it girls" aren't

No she never really was an "it girl" like Britney or Gaga. But I would take this as a compliment because most artists would rather have a career like Beyonce's then to be an 'it girl" since that is kind of a name that is associated with fads that are hot for a couple years and then fade.

She kind of punched 2013 out so there's that. But she's never reached the peaks of some of her contemporaries.

Girl all of the time. They live in another delusional world, that said it's a kiiii to be on here. Fabulous entertainment even twitter can't deliver.

I mean the weeks she spent at number one in 2003 alone. >>

Chile end the thread here!!!

I agree. She has longevity, critical respect, a good head on her shoulders and the love of the GP. She wasn't part of some pop fad that died away

Of 2003? Was there any other female bigger than her that year?

EDIT: Wait, forgot about Xtina

She was overshadowed by other girls during her first four eras but it's safe to say 2014 belongs to her. She's finally an it girl for a year.

No, these it girls peak and disapear, beyonce is in a league of her own, like someone said shes had more impact than half the "it" or in other words moment girls, shes well respected and a legend to many. Shes BEYONCE shes not the it girl, shes just IT superstar, dont believe me, ask your faves, even Britney looks up to her
