Neither is a legend but Celine is probably closer to becoming one.

MHWGO is bigger than any Janet hit, but apart from that Janet's had more hits.

More influnce on pop/r&b music - Janet
She gave birth to Britney, Beyoncé, J.Lo, Ciara, Nicole and other performers who can dance.
Celine is more known because of her repetitive love songs and huge album sales.

Not true. Celine got at least 3-4 more songs bigger than any Janet's song. Perhaps not in the US, but definitely WW.
My Heart Will Go On, All By Myself, The Power of Love, Think Twice etc.
As of right now, Celine has over 50 different songs charting in about as many countries WW on iTunes
She is also #74 artist overall on iTunes WW
Janet has 0 songs charting in 0 countries and she didn't even make the overall Top 3000 (yes 3000 not 300)
Celine is clearly a bigger star, but like I said, Janet is more influential.

It's pretty common knowledge that Celine is more successful overall and is more commercially relevant as of right now, so you haven't proved much by posting the above links.
Janet can't compete with Celine in album sales but she still can in the singles. "Together Again" is definitely bigger than any Celine hit outside of MHWGO, it was the 2nd biggest female hit in Europe of 1998 behind MHWGO, it went platinum in most European countries and was successful pretty much all over the world. Janet also has Thats the way love goes, All For You, What have You Done for me lately, Nasty & Let's Wait Awhile that charted quite well WW. And since the US is the biggest market, her beating Celine there can't really be ignored. Anyway success is just one thing, i don't really use that as an example of being a legend, because based on that, Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls would be bigger legends than Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin.

You're not on point.
Brando never mentioned anything about Legend status.
He was just proving that Celine has several hits that are bigger than any of Janet's songs on a WW scale, and the receipts help to justify that.

Celine Dion, her songs are more memorable like My Heart Will Go On, Because You Loved Me, It's All Coming Back to Me Now & All By Myself which most people think the song is by her originally.

Celine is more successful (due to the fact that she has released almost 30 albums) but Janet is a bigger influence and more legendary, Janet has influenced many of the biggest female and male artist of today such as Beyonce, Britney, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, P!nk, Usher ect.
