As 2015 is coming to an end, and as we near closer to the end of this decade, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the two biggest artists of this generation.

I don't think that there can be any sufficient doubt that Adele is a legend at this point - 2015 proved her power and her influence within the music industry. Whilst many people call her music boring and unimaginative (ironically, such thoughts usually derive from those who haven't heard her albums or don't have the intellectual capacity to analyse work in lyrical form; Of course, they still pursue this uninformed opinion anyway because they have nothing left to attack her with), she has proven that she can write song after song that connects with the GP like no artist from the 21st Century. In 2015, Billboard declared 21 the greatest album of all time. You can disagree all you want, but the fact she's even in the conversation says all you need to know.

Beyoncé is the greatest performer of her generation and one of the greatest performers of all time. Whilst many attempt to bring her down for whatever reason, she has proven that her music transcends time and boundaries, with both her longevity and her increasing acclaim. Beyoncé is now widely regarded as one of the best vocalists of her generation, and no one in pop culture comes close to her power and stature within the music industry. She is the queen. She's not the queen of pop, nor the queen of R&B; she just is the queen. She's the queen of all queens. BEYONCÉ solidified her position as the most imaginative and daring pop artist of her generation.

There can be no doubt that Beyoncé and Adele will be remembered as the two greatest artists of this generation.

Peace and love for 2016 everyone.

Beyoncé is the greatest performer of her generation

Originally posted by Bey Admired That's right, it's my opinion backed up with facts.

Originally posted by swissman I think Beyoncé is more of a legend than Adele. Adele has mammoth success, but is that really legendary or statistically interesting? A legend has more to them that just popularity. I'm confused as to how sales creates a legend. We could name countless people who have broke records, sold millions, etc. etc. but who are not legends.

Originally posted by B'Day Beyoncé yes, the 17 years in the game agrees Adele might just be a big seller -- like Swift, we never know. But as of now, she's heading for that status

Originally posted by frantic Adele is a legend, no doubt. Beyoncé is not at her level yet, maybe someday she'll reach her impressive sales numbers and wide appeal.

Originally posted by swissman Adele needs more time to cement herself into pop culture. But she is likely to become a legend for sure if she keeps this up.

Tea.
Also the fact that Adele has stated she grew up listening to Beyoncé speaks volumes itself

Originally posted by Bey Admired You're derailing this thread and about to get Bey dragged Just stop.

Originally posted by nd01 Not all legends sell like Adele does. Beyoncé is a legend in the black community especially, but also to the general public. I'm not joking when I say that I believe she is the closet thing to MJ this generation has.
