nobody can top the legendary 5. I really pity those who think ariana is some sort of innovative icon... or those who claim katy has had more impact than Janet.
the vocal trinity is unmatched and so is the dynamic choreo duo.
but the media is to blame bc they make current pop tarts look bigger than they are and social media does the rest. all i can say is.. congrats on 25 billion twitter followers and 800 trillion youtube views.. but sorry that nobody would dare to churn out coins on your favs albums.
millennials just suck.

This post is nothing but truth. I'm a Katy Cat but they just aren't comparable at this point in time

Couldn't agree more, part of me kinda likes seeing the back and forth between stans of these women, makes me miss the times when when the ladies themselves were constantly clawing for each others scalps. And Cher randomly popping up for a few wigs

 The wind has taken you
When I was a junior in college, my roommates (a male/female couple) introduced me to their friend Ben. They knew him from high school and said his energy and vivacity reminded them of me. We hung out all together on a few occasions and then started hanging out alone. I thought he was so fun to be around, very self-possessed, and (I'll admit it) really attractive and charming. They warned me that he was straight, but I said I didn't really care about that; I just liked spending time with him as a friend.
A few months after I met him, he was called away to serve in the army (he was off-duty during the time we were hanging out). He wasn't allowed to have his phone or computer with him, but we hung out the day before he had to leave and he told me he would write to me so we could stay in touch. One day I got a letter from him and we began a letter correspondence that lasted for almost a year. His letters described the rigors of army life, the things he missed back home, and the dust he was always scratching out of his hair, brushing off his clothes, and breathing in. My letters talked about life in our boring college town, the movies/music he was missing out on, and how I was excited for him to come back. He mentioned sometimes that he was excited to see me too. And although I knew it was a bad idea, I found myself getting so attached to him and eagerly anticipating his letters and his return.
Just before the holiday season of 2010, his tone suddenly changed; he seemed depressed and sick of being in the army. Fortunately, he was coming home for Christmas, so I told him that I would be around for him to talk to once he came back. However, by the time he got back, I was already back home with my family. Since we weren't able to hang out in person, we talked on the phone and he revealed to me that he was gay and that hiding it for so long was making him depressed. He felt like he couldn't come out because the army frowned upon it and he also didn't want to upset his homophobic family and ex-girlfriend who he had dated for several years. I told him that I would be back in town in like a week and that we had to meet up to talk about it. It was a tough situation emotionally, because while I was concerned for him and upset that he was dealing with those feelings, I'm honest enough with myself to know that I was also excited to find out we might have a chance to be together one day. (Naturally, I didn't want to scare him or make him feel awkward/worse, so I didn't say anything about my feelings.)
The holidays came around and we talked here and there, but were mostly busy with family and the festivities. I was getting ready to return to my college town--and to finally see him--when my roommate texted me, "Did you hear about Ben?" I went on his Facebook and saw message after message expressing they couldn't believe he was gone, telling him to rest in peace, etc. Every other comment said something like, "You were always such a happy guy! I can't believe it." I found out that he committed suicide and came back to town for his funeral. It was definitely one of the hardest days I've gone through; everyone was talking about how happy he was and how shocking it all was, and I felt like I was the only one who knew the truth of his life and his death. I felt animosity toward his family and ex-girlfriend as they bawled throughout the ceremony, since I felt they were implicated. And of course I was mad I didn't get back in time to talk to him and now I'll never know if there was anything I could have done to prevent it. When I got home from the funeral, I collected all his letters, went into my roommates' room, and was going to tell them what was going on. But I got too upset and ending up just sobbing and telling them that no one understood him, a comment I never clarified.
I was such a young child when Emotions came out that I naturally wasn't really into the slow, mournful ballad at the end that I always skipped. Now that I'm older, I've come to love the melodies and instrumentation and MC's vocal performance, but the song mostly speaks to me at the level of the lyrics: Every single lyric of The Wind relates to my experience with Ben and I think of him every time I listen to it.
