Also one thing I realize is that if her impact is already being doubted now, and being paid dust by the AMA's, BMA's, Grammy's, and the VMA's all to give attention to Beyonce, I don't see her future being so full of praise.
As it stands now, none of her albums are acclaimed. Britney stans always bring up the sales of her first album, but can we not settle on a sales argument? Can we try a musical argument for once? Her first two albums were interchangeable fluff. It was only the explosion of ...Baby One More Time and her image that projected it the sales it got. I've never heard the rest of the album ever mentioned. Granted, the albums thereafter were no marvels either, but she did progress a tad with In the Zone. Only to regress to the lastest electropop fad with Circus and Femme Fatale.
She may be a super-star pop icon, but none of that is for her music - she's simply just a sex symbol.

you should listen to BOMT and OOPS. It actually has lots of good songs. But most debut albums have some fluff. Even Beys first.
But Monroe will probably tell us that Madonna's time travelling abilities (a feat invented by Britney) allowed her to be influenced by Britney.
No there definitely are similarities. Just as how there are similarities with Trouble and Tik Tok and with California Gurls. And just like Madonna now wants to do dubstep after Britney did it. There definitely are people using Britney's sound after she has used it. They even used her producers like Bloodshy and Avant after she made them notable with Toxic. To say Britney doesn't have any musical relevance is ridiculous. Hold It Against Me alone has already started Rihanna and Madonna using dubstep in the mainstream for their most recent singles. Toxic was a notable synth-pop production long before the dance craze set in. Blackout itself was also pretty different. Britney is definitely notable in terms of musical impact.

and how exactly did Dangerously in love contribute at all to the music world?
Britney has extremely iconic hits from her first 2 albums. BOMT, Sometimes, Oops, Stronger, Lucky etc....and beyonce?? and dont come with that sex symbol crap when Beyonce was shaking her butt against a wall on crazy in love and was practically naked on the Baby boy video
Didn't Britney call Ke$ha to give her Til The World Ends.
Now Britney called Ke$ha?
A bunch of writers, including Ke$ha, not Ke$ha alone, wrote the song for Britney and it made the cut. Simple as that.
Don't try to make it look like Britney picked up the phone and begged Ke$ha for a hit

Hold It Against Me is not a dubstep song. Rihanna did dubstep in Rated R

The difference with Bey is that she didn't settle on the success, acclaim even, of her first album. She continued to venture with each album into different lanes and try new things. Britney made a big impact with her very first single - and then that was it, pretty much. She never made an effort to push boundaries, nor has she crafted music that was nearly as strong as Bey's music continues to become.
I haven't listened to BOMT and OOPS because there's been no incentive to. When I look back for old music to explore I read reviews and find the ones that were regarded as some of the best. I never see Britney's albums praised. It's always her singles. And a couple of highly acclaimed singles ("...Baby One More Time," "Toxic") isn't going to keep her iconic forever. At least in my opinion.
