  1. 1. Do you think Barbra Streisand or Madonna is the bigger female artist?

    • Babs. She blazed trails and has had massive longevity.
      17
    • Madonna. Madonna will be in history books 100 years from now, Barbra won't.

Barbra, she has done all flawlessly, be it music, acting, movies, television and of course that unmistakable voice. But of course, on a predominantly pop stans forum the other one will be more recognized.

How is this even a question?! I loove Babs and she's an extremely talented, but she is NOWHERE Madonna's level in impact made in history of Entertainment. Madonna is forever going to be in history books with Elvis, MJ, Beatles.. There's Babs? What has Babs changed or impacted in anything? Is she The most succesful female artist ever? Is she remembered and know by everyone of every age like M? Just no.... A treasure and a legend and maybe my favourite vocalist, but yeah just no... And this is not because I like M, its a fact.

It's obvious Madonna is the bigger star; her global impact is far more greater than Barbra's.  But to say Barbra won't be remembered years from now or is not well known is utter BS.  She conquered every avenue she set foot in:  movies, music, Broadway, television. Contrary to what people are saying on here, she has had quite an impact.  She is one of the first female artists to have complete control of her career, she was a mega selling music star despite not following the latest music trends (she had a brief pop/disco phase in the 70s, but she mostly sung standards and show tunes).  She was a major and outspoken feminist and political activist throughout her career, long before it became fashionable to be such.  First woman to ever direct and star in a major motion picture. first woman to ever win an Oscar for composing a song for a film, only artist to ever have a #1 album in six consecutive decades, the latest one being in 2016, 54 years after releasing her first Grammy award winning album, and despite her being "irrelevant."  A lot of female vocalists cite her as an inspiration.  But yeah, she won't be anywhere in the history books years from now.

Phoebe Buffay

The one who has a tour that grossed $407 million, has 38 top 10 hits, 12 #1's and she is the best selling female artist of all time.

That J

They both are but the thing is you are speaking of two completely different types of artists.  They are both "big" and will "be in the history books" but for different reasons.   I'd say in a lot of ways they are equal in their followings but that's it for the comparisons. 

EDIT- Just realized someone bumped this and it's some old topic.  Geez.

Madonna of course! Is this even a debate? Everyone knows who Madonna is, but not everyone knows who Barbara Streisand is.
