Cee Lo Green is too. I wouldn't use a Vegas residency as a certification of status.

And of course she's a legend, but not for her great successes as people seem to be implying, which in my eyes doesn't count for anything, but for her incredible ability as a vocalist. There's a reason she is dubbed as 'Songbird Supreme'.

R&B legend. There are other types of music besides pop.

Why can't she be both?

Then by this definition Celine and Whitney arent legends as well because Mariah writes and produces her own music something that Cel and Whit didnt do.

In the US of course she's a Legend. Most of WW she's only an AMAZING voice.

Legend not even Debatable

Legend

Yet it's not as remembered as any of those. It's not as remembered as "Back To Black", "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill".

Can anyone name a song on that album other than Hero?

Why exclude hero? lol

Mariah's Christmas album is bigger than all of the examples you've shown so far. It was a career defining moment that no one has been able to top ever since. AIWFCIY alone is one of the biggest songs of all time.

Legend

Obviously a legend

All i want for Christmas is more legendary then most peoples entire careers i literally cannot stand mariah carey but come on shes part of music she has some unrivaled classics her number 1s in the US alone are legendary!

Writing and producing has nothing to do with being a legend.

And Whitney is a legend.

LEGEND

L E G E N D

Because?

Both.

Ya'll need to stop discrediting people's legacies on here.

then what makes you one? you hate Mariah so much that you wont even look at what she accomplished and actually give a non biased judgement.
