Gaga, Beyonce, Katy, Lana etc are this generation's equivalent of...?

[YaaaasGaga 6,119]

So, I was thinking about who today's pop divas are and their equivalents of pop divas from past generations. I don't think any of them are replacements for anyone at all as everyone is their own artist with their own style, but these are people who I think are thought of in the same/similar way to artists that people thought the same of in the past (if that makes sense?). No one is the new anybody, so don't drag me please haha. What do you guys think?

Lady Gaga - Madonna/Cher

Beyonce - Whitney Houston/Gloria Gaynor

Rihanna - Janet Jackson/Chaka Khan

Taylor Swift - Dolly Parton/Blondie

Miley Cyrus - Cyndi Lauper/Bjork

Lana Del Rey - Nancy Sinatra/Courtney Love 

Adele - Celine Dion/Aretha Franklin

Katy Perry - Shania Twain/Kylie Minogue

Britney Spears - Olivia Newton-John/Madonna

Christina Aguilera - Barbra Streisand/Shirley Bassey

These are loose comparisons of course. Is there anyone else you think todays pop divas are the equivalent of for our generation from years past?

Britney would be more of a Madonna figure since she altered pop music so much but I enjoy the others. The Miley one is on point though

I'd say Rihanna resembles Mariahs career a lot

14 #1s in 10/11 years

I didn't know whether to class Mariah as a current or old pop icon and didn't want to offend anybody haha

I don't think any of those work. I don't think any of them can work even in theory. Their careers are too different.

Britney as who? Excuse me Britney is more like Madonna.

[Phlop 4,773]

Taylor is def Blondie. She even looks like Debbie Harry.

Gaga is a mix of legends, you can't just pick one..

Edited those two now

And Olivia Newton John I thought Britney was similar to in the start of her career being quite innocent, but Olivia made the transition from sweet and pure to more sexual later on too. Plus, I think her role in Grease is a great comparison to Britneys journey haha.

After reading this I can see how the music industry turned into trash
