Let's be honest, the only people from that list who'll be remembered as legends for defining and changing the industry, rather for good or bad are Britney Spears and Beyonce. People always are quick to denounce Britney because of how "untalented" or "unrespected" she supposedly is. Are we really going to question the impact this woman has had in Pop music and Pop Culture in general for the past 15 years across the globe? She has and still is making an impact in this industry.
No, Britney isn't anywhere close to what she was in her younger years. She experienced several public scandals that made headlines, but one can never forget all that she accomplished and continues to accomplish over the years because of that. People downplay Britney's talents all the time. You don't do Broadway in NY, compete in gymnastics meets, make it on a nationally televised program over thousands of auditioning kids, sign with a major record label, get accepted into a prestigious NYC performing arts academy, make commercials, dance, sing, win on Star Search, write music, compose music, play a musical instrument, made countless contributions to catapulting yourself into super stardom if you are a talentless puppet. Get real people! I'm not proclaiming her the best or most talented individual in the world or anything, but C'MON!
How we forget the impact that she has on talented musicians today in music who have stated how much they have been influenced by Britney or have grew up a fan of hers over the years. Ask Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and more how they have admired and been huge fans of hers in the past. GROUPS and LABELS were created because of Britney and Britney alone. Ask Christina, Jessica, Mandy, Willa, and any pop female that came out in the late 90's or early 00's what it was like to be called a "Britney clone" or the "Britney's?" Ask Avril, P!nk, Vanessa Carlton, MIchelle Branch, etc. what it felt like to be identified as "The Anti-Britney's?"
Britney is the SIXTH mutha-freaking best selling female artist worldwide, she's done something that not many other ladies can claim. Britney has visual images, performances, songs, and photo shoots that have transcended through time. She has accomplished so much over her career and continues to set records in the music industry, nearly 14 years after the fact. For a supposed record flopping (Femme Fatale), selling 10 million records worldwide is still impressive in my opinion. *shrugs*
Crack jokes about her breakdown all you want, but her lack of promoting material or the breakdown doesn't erase or override the full career package. Personal struggles making the headlines? Britney is not the first and won't be the last, Elvis, MJ, Madonna, Whitney, and several others have well documented struggles that made headlines everywhere. People act like Britney has never received critical acclaim before in her life on multiple occasions as well. Nobody wants to give her the due she deserves, yet here she is, still selling and still impacting the industry along with the new artists of today.  |
Over 15 million actually. Such a flop.

I feel like Pink, Alicia, and Shakira are there but not in the same way because they feel behind as the years went on in mainstream popularity. It'll take more time and success from them before people see them as real deal long lasting legends.
J.Lo seems to have ruined what she had going when she took that long break and came back as an Idol judge. She she wont be remembered for her music, more her movies or American Idol.

This, basically, though I don't think Beyonce and Britney have made the transition to being legends yet. They will go down as legends someday, however.

Look, bud, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree... my post had nothing to do with Nicki or any of the people I stan for, it's just how I feel, so you will just have to get over the fact that not everybody thinks your fav is good or worthy of being a new music legend.  I really, really, really don't think she'll be held on a pedestal when she's older. That's not an ignorant statement, it's an opinion.

Britney is currently a pop icon and future legend as years go by. Beyonce also is on her way.
Pink though is kinda underrated. Her lack of media attention makes her become overshadowed by other musicians.
Alicia keys has a good chance considering her epic amount of talent, but i think she still needs more impact inthr industry and culture through further hits.

Beyonce isn't a legend yet, but she'll be remembered as one, no doubt. She's all, from this list.

Britney, Beyoncé and Shakira. J-Lo will also be remembered, but not only because of her music. I feel bad for P!nk, she's always succesful but never remembered. Christina won't be a legend, but Beautiful will be a classic. I love Alicia, but I don't think she will be a legend

Britney and Bey are already there. I feel like P!nk has not stop being succesful - excluding the Try This era- since she started. She's been consistent but i don't think she's in the "legend" status yet. Shakira is a latin legend, she has accomplished so much. J.Lo and Christina faded, sadly. Alicia Keys is not even near that status.
