Tea.

"If that was the case, Britney would be a legend. And we all know that isn't a fact"

Uhm, no, bitch, your forum opinion of a two-time DIAMOND selling artist is not a fact. It's a dumbass opinion because she achieved something that your fave STILL has not achieved to this day in her "prime". I swear, as much as I love and respect Beyonce as a creative force, ya'll REALLY make it hard to respect her fans.

I got the time today.

It's true though. Legend is synonymous with greatness. You have to be great at what you do.

Britney is iconic, not legendary. That's just a fact. You won't find many people in the industry who consider Britney a legend.

To me, longevity and sustainability are the key indicators of a legend. Having a diamond album does not make you a legend.

Beyoncé doesn't have a huge commercial peak compared to the others. The difference between Beyoncé and the "20 million sellers!!11 Diamond certified!!1" 90s artists is that she has an upwards trajectory commercially. She is consistent having survived multiple market shifts in the industry and is still competing with the new generations of artists (+ outselling them). When people think of Beyoncé, they think of her current art and not some cute throwback from 20 years ago.

Excuse me? basically all the pop acts of today have cited her as inspiration and guidance? She is a bonafide legend through and through.. She was even admired by Michael Jackson and Madonna..her title to the GP is officially "Princess of Pop". She is noted for the teen pop revival and is in the hall of fame, exc.

Look, ya'll can hate and curse her until you turn blue. It's your right and who cares. However, ya'll forever and always try to diminish every.single.thing she has done to the point where ya'll look delusional as HELL.

Just because ya'll hate her for whatever reason, doesn't mean she is not a legend. At all.

She has always been successful with a small portion of the public.

She is more niche, she has never been massive as Britney, Adele or other acts that had the entire public on their side.

That "cute throwback" set a standard and is considered among the greats. She is still pumping and doing her damn thing without **** to prove to ANYONE. She did her ****, made history, oversold, and inspired the generations we have now whom have ALL marked her as inspiration.

Keep hating on her tho. On an internet forum. being broke. and mad.

Oh, and when people "look back on the greats", the ones who are powerful enough to preserve memory, are the ones praised the most. That's why Britney will never fade.

Be forever and always pressed over her.
