What makes Beyonce a 'legend'?
We all know she's a great singer, dancer and overall performer. My main problem is that when you look at her back catalogue, it's surprisingly bereft of good songs compared to Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and other very popular singers.

Lady Gaga & Rihanna have the most overrated back catalogue of recent times!!! Beyonce's output shits over them
Plus i don't agree with the comment about her back catalogue. The majority of her singles are instantly recognisable and very well written. Deja Vu, Irreplaceable, Listen, Halo, Crazy in Love... All very good songs.
I love her
I think when you're on her level, it's the general prestige of the whole package that makes her a legend. The respect, the awards, the longevity, the talent, the performances, the mega-hits etc.
It's the cliche of quality over quantity, but even then she has a good amount of anthems.
This!
Yeah but beyonce is only really starting out now solo. It would have been good to see how far she would have gone if she was never in DC but went it alone.
I know. I bet she was pretty overwhelmed by that.
The same could be said for Michael Jackson though, couldn't it? He was famous/successful off the back of the Jackson 5. Would it have been the same without that start? Who knows.
But lets be honest, much like the Jackson 5 = MJ, Destiny's Child = Beyonce. They were their practice runs.
You misunderstood me, what i menat was it be good to in terms of hits how well she would have done.
would she have been better then Rhi rhi on her own etc.
All of that and still one of the most humble people around.
nope
and she's not the most respected artist in the world/industry/whatever either. get a grip
Quite right. Now Ella Fitzgerald, Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Diana Ross - you could call them legends, but Beyonce? Will she still be around in 5 years time? Probably not.
i'm sure she will, and at some point she will be a legend, perhaps when half the names you've mentioned have died
Agreed with your post until this.
I think that's very well put, she's certainly an icon of a generation and as you say, when she bows out, nou doubt she'll have reached legend status.
I can't believe someone didn't think she'd be around in 5 years...
That post makes no sense, and please learn some basic grammar.
She performed like a dancing bear last night and I don't mean that in a facetious way either.
She's already been around for years, and will probably continue on with her career for many more to come. She is no more than a legend than Gaga, Britney etc (Far too early to call them legends.) However she could reach such lengths in many, many years.
