P!nk will be remembered for her incredible longevity, tours and live performances. She's on the way but she still needs time to be really big.
Kelly and Avril, well, I love them but just no.

This exactly - no one from the 2000s has earned the right to be called a legend.
A legend is someone like Aretha Franklin, Elvis, Cher, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Madonna, Prince, Janet and (much as it pains me, as I detest him and his music) Michael Jackson. They are all legends of the music business, with careers that spanned decades and influenced countless artists.
Once Pink, Christina et al have reached the 25 year mark of a successful career, then maybe they might be eligible to be called legends, but honestly? Out of that list, only Pink has the chance of getting that accolade.
In the real world (not here or ALD) Christina is barely thought about musically - she's known now for the Voice, and NOT her own releases (as seen by her sales and the cancellation of 2 planned tours). All this delusion about how she is someone who commands a massive amount of column inches - you only think that because you spend all day and night searching the internet for any mentions of her name, come here to the UK, and she's only ever mentioned occasionally, and it's usually to do with her weight, as unfair as that might be.
