GreatestLoveofAll Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 well many legends have a period where they arent respected or not taken seriously. But people's opinions are just that- opinions. The influence, impact and innovation an artist has should and eventually will speak for themselves so "respect" in the basic term doesnt really matter.

Robyn. Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yes obviously, hence why you'd use acclaim as a factor to measure an artist's respect within the industry. Let's see using AcclaimedMusic's method 1. Beyoncé - Artist rank: #70 2. Rihanna - Artist rank: #173 3. Lady Gaga - Artist rank: #386 4. Britney Spears - Artist rank: #557 5. Christina Aguilera - Artist rank: #1170 source sounds about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Togekiss Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Christina is not a legend. If she is, then Britney is a GOD OP: Yes, but they also need to have commercial dominance over a long period of time, something the girl listed in the OP did not achieve so she is not one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gp has never respected her and she literally is the biggest and most influential female artist of all-time. She is considered a legend by the whole world despite that.

swissman Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yes. I mean, how many legends are not also respected? I think a legend is someone who is notably reputable for having achieved a certain level of talent or innovation in their field. This differs from an icon who symbolizes or represents something in their field: a sound, a genre, a look, etc., mostly for their success with it than for artistic achievement. For example, Chuck Berry is a rock-and-roll legend. Elvis is a rock-and-roll icon. People do use both interchangeably but I do think there is a difference when you really get down to it that should be outlined. At some point the notoriety of an icon is mistaken for legend-hood, but I do think that for legends in the music industry the easiest way to determine it is if their reputation for what they do precedes them vs. the image or idea of what they did. If a legend (tale) is something that is passed down by worth of mouth from generation to generation, so too must a music legend's name carry that sort of weight. You may not know much about a legend like Aretha Franklin, but you do know that she's respected and important just from the way people talk about her. But it should be said that a lot of the older icons are also legends because back in the day there was more importance placed on pure talent vs. hits/iconography.

I think it's more that she has/has had a lot of vocal haters given the controversial nature of her career, but her name does career a caché of respect in pop music. I think that for a long time, at the time of her release she hasn't been respected but in time people look back and view what she does with a level of awe and respect that befits her title as a legend.

gustavothehuman Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It depends of what you define as respect. As mentioned above, Madonna isn't respected by the GP, but her talent, impact and influence is totally recognized by her peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a HUGE misconception on ATRL. Its a ton of legends that never dominated Billboard or sold a **** ton of albums ... hell some LEGENDS don't have Grammy's, no.1 albums or no.1 hits and they are still LEGENDARY respected artists. U have to play the game to get all of that and not every artist is here for that. What makes U LEGEND is when your music has stood the test of time, they're influential/Inspirational in they genre and impactful ... those are some things that makes U a LEGEND and not commercial dominance, awards, sales, streams or anything like that ... that just makes U a successful artist. ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazil Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 MJ was probably the biggest punch bag for the last 20 years of his careers. He was respected again after his death, but is again receiving a lot of backlash as of recently. I would therefore say that one doesn't need to be universally respected to be a legend. Meanwhile you have artists who are respected, as say, Vanessa Carlton, who will probably never be considered a Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they respected MJ musically his disrespect came from The White devil (Tommy Motttola & Sony) trying to destroy him and his image and damn near succeeded. ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
