That really makes me mad that Shakira is down there below some of these artists especially when Shakira has been here longer and has longer receipts.
I think it is just because she is riding on her weakest era right now. If this were last era she would be where she truly and rightfully belongs.
Shakira. YES MA'AM.
I think it's because the whole list is stupid.
Beyoncé is at the right place but Shakira didn't come from Beyoncé they are incredibly different artists. First of all Shakira works mostly in Spanish and has been around as a solo artist for much longer than Bey.
I resent the fact that only Paula is under Janet when her influence is clear in Britney as well. Madonna and Janet are both Britney's "moms." Not to mention GaGa being under Christina, and Beyonce under Mariah? Lots of fail there.
The list is not shady, it just points out where each artists influence came from. It does not matter who is above who unless it is from the same tree line.
