Marilyn is a bad role model; she's iconic mostly for her personal life & not for her acting singing career; so i dont know why you bring Madonna's achievement.

I read a lot of time that Marilyn was an icon because she is considered as the sexiest woman ever + she died young just like James Dean, Elvis Presley,.. + she had a relationship with the President of USA.

the same way Beyoncé is representing the american dream with her family-career balance but lets not get into this because you seems to be a beyhater; Not that i'm sure 100% she'll be as iconic but your first post is so reductive & pessimist that I can't discuss with you.

Bad or not she still has a legacy most people could only dream of.

Maybe that's true, but it worked for her and she's one of the most famous women in history as a result.

It's nothing to do with being a 'beyhater'. None of the girls are doing it, absolutely none. Beyoncé really isn't as iconic as you're making out, she's a successful artist from the 00's (late 90's if you're wanting to include DC). She's had a good career and is a well-respected performer, particularly in the R&B genre. But a legend she is not.

Do you consider Diana Ross a legend though?

Beyonce has had pretty much the same style of career. Both were the leads of the #1 girl groups of their time. Both have very successful solo careers (it could be argued that Beyonce's is bigger) as well as successful forays into the motion picture industry (although Diana has an Oscar nod, Beyonce's movies have done better at the box office and probably will be remembered for longer).

Simply put, if Beyonce is closer to being a legend than anyone else in this poll, and in my opinion she already is one.

Lady Sings The Blues & The Wiz vs Obsessed and Fighting Temptations.

Honestly.

Katy and Tay

[brndksk]

Katy obviously won't.

Nor will Britney. In 20 years time people will look back at her career and be like "WTF was that all about? "

Taylor probably won't either due to lack of notability.

I think Gaga will maintain a sort of cult status. She'll be like Cyndi Lauper.

Beyonce and Rih definitely will be iconic legends.

Diana Ross' best vs. Beyonce's worst.

Honestly.

You could try to have just an ounce of fairness if you're comparing them. It should be more:
Lady Sings The Blues & The Wiz vs. Goldmember & Dreamgirls

Beyonce and Britney aren't legends yet either.

Someone like Elton john is a living legend. Y'all use this term way too easily

Whatever, but Gaga's cultural impact is really big, you should know she'll be remembered

[Penk]

All the above (except maybe Bey)

Kii the ones i voted for are winning

I don't think the average person would even know Beyonce has delved into acting.

It's not in any way relevant to her legacy.

From most legendary to least:
1.Britney
2. Beyonce
3. Taylor
4. Katy
5. Gaga
6. Rihanna


Britney is already a legend though.
Beyonce has a great shot of being considered a legend later on.
The rest is up in the air. They may all be successful now but who knows, maybe one of them will be the "Christina Aguilera" or "Jennifer Lopez" of their generation. It depends on who knows how to play their cards right and ultimately gain impact along with longevity.

^ what kinda floppy list

My answer is Katy unless she stops playing safe.
She has potential but eh

Not a fan of Taylor at all but she's huge. She has single and album sales plus her tour did amazingly as well

[Bimbo]

Katy.

[King Maxx]

People voting Beyoncé?

[JesusORGod]

Nicki.

P.s alo Britney. She's NOT a music legend. Walking around the stage doing nothing but holding turn off mic is not someone i'd call a music legend.

The most charted female rapper? Highest selling? Biggest net worth?
Queen of Rap will remain unbothered by some "legend" status.

[GlitterfiedCyrus]

None of them will be legends, except maybe Beyonce.

[BadHabits]

C'mon ATRL is so full of ****, we all know Gaga is going to be a legend. Having 1 under-performing album doesn't mean you can't rise again.

Xtina has had 2 flop albums and she's going to become a legend.

They'll be legend in like 10/20 years time...
