He was huge in the 2000s, but it seems he is less relevant these days than his contemporaries. Kanye won the Vanguard award and is always in the news. JT is still releasing #1s. Do you consider him a legend?

no.

Not even close to being one.

The only legends from the early 00s and the late 90s are Beyonce and JT.

Lol @ "consider"
He is an R&B legend. Period

But thus is ATRL and most of yall don't know **** so

Yes, ATRL likes to discredit him. According to ATRL, anybody from the 21st century that isn't a pop girl can't be a legend.

Yes in R&B

Not even an icon. He sold out a long time ago and people have generally forgotten about him.

He was huge but hardly impactful and largely forgotten, so no.

Yes. Some peoples favs wish they had a Confessions era.

EDIT: Are we seriously discrediting Ushers accomplishments?Confessions era alone has sold 20 million copies! that's some of these new girls ENTIRE overall catalogue sales! some of ya'll need to put RESPEK on his name!!!!

Yeah. Maybe not overall but certainly in R&B.

Usher is undeniabely an R&B legend so no

Yes and hes an R&B legend but why ask atrl :atrl: they consider some of the generic pop girls legends
/endthread

His Confessions album is critically acclaimed by critics and among R&B fans and they consider it his best album so he did have an impact

no, he's completely irrelevant here

no

Legend is a really heavy word. The only one of the recent generations who qualifies or could qualify in the near future is Beyonce.

Usher is r&b royalty though. Definitely. An icon too, in the broad sense of the word.

Could we stop playing this game where we pretend Timberlake has enough cultural impact, achievements, accolades and remembered hits to be considered a current legend or even a legend in the making?

Searching for critical acclaim...

WARNING, not found.

Oui
The confessions era alone is enough to make anyone a legend
