We're Britney stans. Let's get real though, she did have a decline before rising from the ashes in 2008.

She did because she stopped releasing music. People make it to be like she was FLOPPING. She didn't have anything out.

she didn't transcend the 00's just say that because the Bodyguard soundtrack sold over 44million worldwide and won album of the year and she won record of the year, and had 4 more #1's and top 5 hits.

I didn't want to get there but since someone did I will say that not only Aretha but Diana and Tina Turner are way more influential music wise than Madge as I already stated countless times in SYG.

Music is not only about the impact of a wedding dress at the MTV or kissing a younger singer on the stage. Tina Turner had Mick Jagger, Eros and countless others wanted to do the kind of music she does. Prince, Michael, rock legends at one point try to emulate Aretha's songs, try to make songs as creative as hers, used her as a bible and a guide to understand and capture "real music" and you will sit here and tell me Madge is more influential?

But that stayed in 1994.

Are you brain dead? Hilary has sold over 14 million albums worldwide. Mandy has sold maybe 4 million. GTFO

Again, I never heard a Hilary song in my life. I don't know any body who has heard a Hilary song in their life. I've never seen her perform anywhere. I've never seen her win a music award. Why do you think she belongs on this list?

If that's Lizzy McGuire soundtracks, then you proved my point.

Just one example: the Not Myself Tonight video is based on Madonna's 1989 Express Yourself video.

And Someone Like You is basically modern version of I Will Always Love You, which Whitney popularized in 1994.

Shania Twain, Kelly Clarkson, Martina McBride, Florence Welch,

Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion to name a few

were INFLUENCE by Aretha Franklin, and they are NOT Black

*hence* why they pay homage to their QUEEN!

this goes to prove that Aretha is a MULTI GENRE influencing LEGEND

can we say the same for Madonna?

1.Race isn't a genre

2. Are you saying Madonna has never influenced Black singers?

What girl is directly doing Aretha today? I mean...

Aretha SET THE STANDARD FOR ALL female artist

and she also SET the VOCAL standard

those 2 standards were reset when Whitney step into the scene

What stayed in 1994, be more specific, because every Whitney Houston single is still relevant today, even the 90's ummmm did u forget about "I'm Your Baby Tonight" "All the man that I need" "Exhale" "i have nothing "I will always love you" "heartbreak hotel" "it's not right but it's okay".........................................Whit ney was still a force in the 90's. what are u saying?

The winner of X-Factor, Melanie Amaro with "Respect". Adele frequently covers "Natural Woman" (yes I know it's a Carole King song) in concert.
