Flu Symptom 2,541 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Honestly, I am sick of these Disney, trend-pop stans calling their fav a legend, when their career is nowhere near the magnitude of legends today and legends from the past. My question is.. What makes a pop-star a Legend / an icon? bc if legends now-a-days are this basic, then you might as well call anyone in the music industry a "Legend" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Monster Kid 13,140 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 IMO Longevity and cultural impact make a legend. Oh and talent as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HANZ 4,380 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 to me a legend is someone who influences and inspires the new generation of singers to do their thing you see a lot of Janet Jackson and Madonna in the new generation of artists, they may no longer sell what they used to, but their impact and legacy is very obvious in today's singers you may sell millions but if you are anything but original and bring nothing new to the table like Justin Timberlake or Bieber then you are not a legend to me, the world would have been the same without you no impact = no legend My Favs = Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin, AKB48 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMKKARDASHiAN 8,570 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I agree. No one. NO ONE to come off Disney/nickelodeon is any where NEAR a legendary status Miley, Demi, Ariana, Victorious, Selena Even girls who weren't on Disney/Nick like 5/4H, LM and the likes.

Eighteen 5,430 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 for example a legend would be like a chuck berry. he invented rock and roll. innovation is one of the hallmarks that make a legend legend. i think it goes hand in hand with longevity cause longevity is a measurement, in a way, of how culturally intertwined you are and so part of broader life that spans decades. and when a tune is heard a **** ton of people think back to the time when.

Easy 5,305 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Look at Gaga. She is a legend. Yes her career is rather short compared to Madonna but she achieved what people would fight for their lifetime in just few years. Her cultural impact is huge. She has inspired new generation of artists. Not shading but I never heard people saying that they are inspired Katy or Taylor but Halsey, Cyrus family etc all said they are inspired by Gaga and these are people who has some sort of accomplishments.

Her voice is just one of her tools to channel her creativity. She's more an art performer than a singer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
