She;s been heading to that direction since Bad Romance smashed and it has always been undeniable.
However she isn't a legend yet. The last legend in the POP music world is Mariah Carey, anyone after still has some time to go before they take the spot. Beyonce will probably be first.
Legend?! LMAO You like throwing words just like that? Whitney's a legend, Mariah's a legend, Prince's a legend, Tina Turner is a legend, MJ is a legend, Beyonce is in the path of becoming a legend. Lady Gaga is talented but she's just started her career. She doesn't even have a decade in the showbusiness as a mainstream act. Let's discuss this again in 20 years and then maybe it'll make sense.
