I do. And you can't just say no one remembers something I mean how can you know
Anyway as for impact and influence/iconicness Single Ladies and Bad Romance are the only current videos that have that.

I meant as a video.. Telephone was long, interesting and really, really good. That's why I am saying it's the modern Thriller

the sales don't

and I was talking about the video more so than the charts

[Comedor]

Definitely the most memorable music video since Thriller.

Only the female Michael Jackson.

It's not even 2nd to Gangnam Style, much less Mambo No. 5 or the Macarena

Macarena is about the dance. we're talking about the visual!

PSY said he was inspired by SL. and Bad Rom was inspired by Thriller.

This millenium SL reigns supreme.

Didn't VH1 recognize "Single Ladies" as the MOST IMPORTANT VOTY winner of the past 20 years, even beating classics such as "Waterfalls" and "Bad Romance."

Keep up
A member tried to say Michael didn't like Bey bc they never performed together
I pointed out that makes no sense

I understood exactly what you were saying, but that was just an arbitrary rebuttal like what kind of random ass off topic reasoning

[Eternium]

Can we get the WW single sales for "Single Ladies" without using those Korean sales, which range anywhere from free to two cents?

Bad Romance being itself a copy of Thriller... nothing memorable and iconic about that

whereas the 3 ladies in leotard is more Iconic than some careers.

rip @ the few hives not feeling confident enough to say "yes". bitch Beyoncé is the most influential artist in the world. she has nothing to prove. state the facts and let the haterz seethe while the Queen pursue her ascencion to legendhood.

Sis, how is Bad Romance a copy of Thriller? Better yet, how is "Single Ladies" completely original when it's basically homage to multiple artists whereas "Bad Romance" is "copied" despite having nothing in common with MJ's past works?

On top of that, Beyonce is far from the most influential artist of her generation, let alone the most influential artist WW. I like Beyonce but you girls got to stop

I hate "Wrecking Ball," but it was giant and a much, much bigger hit than SL WW.

As for "Single Ladies" being bigger than "Toxic".... I just can't

1. Bad Romance: people going out their graves doing creepy dance moves.

2. Single Ladies wasn't 100% original as wasn't Thriller. but at least it wasn't inspired by another prominent MV.

3. We're not discussing the most influential artist of this generation... the TIME, FORBES, among dozens of prestigious sources have already co-signed.

That's your counter argument?

[MM3]

fff @ Telephone is forgotten. News flash, that was Beyoncé's song too And VOTY-nominated videos don't simply get forgotten 3 years later. Not with the hype that video had.

[TeemoR]

yessss!!!
Thriller > Single Ladies > Telephone > Gaga's videography > others

[Giancor]

[MM3]

And must y'all always trash someone else's fave just to lift up your own? Can't y'all compliment Gaga without trashing Bey? Can't y'all compliment Bey without trashing Gaga? It's not that serious

[kyris89]

There are are millions of better than Single Ladies MV out there... It's not even a good video. She just... dance. wow

That wasn't me providing a counterargument, but more so pointing out something obvious, no? Some of the arguments brought up in that post were so off topic to what the OP is asking

[Vine101]

Obviously.

[PrettyHurts]

Ok, Well it's settled
Since no ATRLers have provided any solid contenders other than Madonna and her iconic burning crosses in "Like A Prayer" we shall move on from this dicussion
Single Ladies is ATRL's second most iconic music video of all time
Poll = irrelevant

Duh . Clearly .
