I must have hit a nerve
Legends never end only icons.
Mariah is the top vocalists of pop music.
high notes, low notes, middle register.
Excellent and versatile songwriting.
Classics.
most #1 hits.
#1 hits in every year of the 90s.
versatile enough to make pop/r&b and hit hip pop records.
Made the renta rappers popular
Made remix prostitution popular
Mariah Carey, Butterfly and the Emancipation of Mimi make her a legend.
The last standing diva.
Britney
Influence, impact and success ranging from #1 albums and singles in 3 different decades.
Embedded in pop culture due to her iconic videos, performances and songs.
Double diamond albums.
most successful female artists of the 21st century album sales wise.
Influenced the late 00s and 10s generations.
the good bad and ugly made her a staple and showed her resilience.
And she can still reach #1 in 55 countries regardless of poor release efforts.
turned vegas back into a profitable and bankable entity for performers.
Still getting coverage for shopping or being a mother when many girls have to use media propaganda being revisionist historians pushing their "classics" as if they were huge hits from the start.
Without pushing her classics, she still gets media coverage and recognition.
to quote that man on stage at the VMAs in 2011: She's a pop music legend and the industry would not be the same without her...
