Let me get this straight.


Brandy is a legend (someone who has impacted more than one race/community), yet only to black people and then even black people won't but her music?! What kinda legend?

A legend doesn't have to influence more than one race/community, wtf. Especially when your corny ass fave makes POP music and is influenced by her

Black people don't buy albums. If they did, Loyal would be 3x Platinum and Put it Down would be at least Platinum.

She is a legend. She has influence and VISIBLE impact in the community.

Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Jazmine Sullivan, Mila J, Chris Brown, India.Arie, etc. All praise Brandy and cite her as a major influence in their music.

She is a legend, especially since every artist after her has nothing but good things to say about her.

She's humble, charitable, can tour in different countries, has an iconic role in a movie everyone knows, broke down barriers for color, starring in an iconic television series which spawned another iconic spin-off.

She's iconic. She's global. She's a legend.

I think a lot of Americans operate under the assumption that because we receive comparatively negligible exposure to pop culture from other countries (and the UK would be the greatest source of however much that is) then that must also be the case for like every other country/region in the world with relation to our culture.

I was going to say that this seems kind of counter-intuitive to the type of ethnocentrism where Americans would assumes familiarity with everything about our culture (cuz "who doesn't know ____?"), but I guess it really is just another angle of it where you assume that the way things are in your culture is the same as it is for cultures most everywhere else, too. .

Brandy is no legend.

In countries that have educated trilingual people like Lebanon, American music is just as popular as arabic one.

[Kool_Aid_King]

Local because she's not big in your country? that's the dumbest logic I've ever heard

Like I said, (local) urban icon at the most.

Cher her album and tour sold less than Madonna.

Cher is nearly 80 years old though
The fact that she's still releasing albums and touring is an achievement in itself
