I think what hurts Beyoncé is that she doesn't really have competition, Michael and Madonna had Prince, Whitney, Mariah, Elvis, Celine, Janet and a few others, while Bey doesn't really have anyone from her generation to compete with, Britney wasn't mentally strong enough to handle the fame and her label broke her spirit and will to perform by blocking her from making music she wanted to make, Usher let the pressure of topping Confessions get to him thus he became a trend hopper instead of taking the Michael route and just make better videos and bigger tours and overall become a better performer, Xtina rested on her laurels and didn't improve on her craft (vocals/performing)and her attitude turned people off, Brandy had her hands in too many pots and burned herself out, Aaliyah tragically passed before she could really take it to that level, Justin doesn't have the IT factor.
S/N: I hate what the media and industry has done to Janets legacy for some of yall to think she had little to no impact.

So clean and well written
I cackled up @ Britney parts
The Jackson family was victim of conspiracy. Believe me or not. They really destroyed her legacy in a few months period. That's sad. Her impact remains her tho. Its just that the younger generation will never acknowledge it.
I mean she's successful and everything, but not on their level
