Those artists you mentioned have cited on multiple occasions Britney as one of their main influences, Gaga and Ariana perhaps being more vocal about and Dua has cited P!nk as her main influence over the rest.

 

Christina might have also influenced them, not on the same level though so what's wrong with that?

When have Ariana ever cited her as "main" influence?

You want to have that conversation, let's have it. Did she choose to personally shut the door with the photographer for that Rolling Stone cover with the teddy bear as is widely reported, or does the notion of power dynamics excuse the fact she did entirely and the Army can cite that she didn't consciously make that decision? Are we going to dismiss it as "hate the game, not the player" or actually properly unpack that, among several other examples. 

I think there’s a really interesting conversation that can be had here, but we’ll never really know unless Britney herself says something. That photoshoot always made me feel a bit… uncomfortable. But after she was freed from the conservatorship, literally one of the FIRST things she did was pose in the nude on Instagram. I think it’s obvious that Britney views nudity and the human body as an art form, and she finds liberation in posing naked. Plus she has the April 1999 Rolling Stone magazine framed in her house, so I think it’s safe to assume that she’s proud of it and isn’t ashamed or was forced to do it. Unless, of course, she specifically says otherwise.

She literally said in like 2014 that Britney's Oops ponytail inspired her iconic ponytail.

Everyone follows Britney pop star model, it's obvious. 

 

+ a little thing but still she's inspired by her

 

Btw

Taylor, Gaga, Madonna, Billie, Doja, Rihanna, Bey, Xtina, Ariana, Selena, Hilary Duff, Miley, Demi, Lindsay Lohan, Avril, Dua, Katy, Blackpink & more

What about Xtina? Hmmmmm

No, the most Iconic thing she’s done is dance with a snake while lip syncing. Despite having many hits and a supposedly “classic album” her recurrent streams are bad as if no one is checking her music. Her impact is nowhere to be seen and never existed, she was just a younger new Madonna for teens. Plus at the moment even Britney seems to hate her own records and has put minimal effort in her projects (Myah Marie, songwriting camps, auto tune mess). If her cultural impact would be reevaluated we should highlight that Britney is not a musician, neither an influential artist but rather a tabloid celebrity.

 

On top of this todays pop stars are very different and the current climate seems to value pop girls that are more involved in their work. (Directing music video, songwriting, Artistic concept albums)

"If her cultural impact would be reevaluated.."

*Commenting on a literal thread about her legacy being evaluated as positive*

 

some of yall are so braindead

 

 

 

ot: She is underrated as the article by BBC said

given the fact that we only see OBHs in here, we can safely say that there are no intelligent people against that

GP consider her crazy and unhinged no matter what the fans say

Impeccable taste so I can believe i'm the main culprit.

Her legacy is skimpy clothing, bubble gum music, and lip synching. That stamp on the music industry isn’t cute these days.

Posting this in a forum of misogynistic men with a 3rd grade reading level who spend all their free time tearing down successful women is an interesting choice. But the answer is yes

"Britney Spears is pop culture [because] she encapsulates every aspect of what modern celebrity is," he adds. "She's the American Dream, the cautionary tale, the story of redemption and now a symbol of liberation." And there's no chance of her stepping out of the spotlight entirely: next year will bring a tell-all memoir in which Spears has pledged to address "events in my life [that] I've never been able to express openly". For this reason, even if her 2022 chart comeback proves to be a one-off rather than a sign of things to come, Spears' place at the top of the pop pantheon is firmly guaranteed.

 Be for real 

Dancing with a snake is definitely not her most iconic moment but rather one of the features in the many iconic moments we have seen throughout her career and I am definitely not going to run through it all since you know what I am talking about as much as you choose to deny it.

Dude, just say you dislike Britney and go  That's a you problem and not a factual matter, if you can't see her impact when she has been credited by countless pop artists as a foundation of influence in their own crafts and has had two of her albums feature in many lists that discuss influential albums.

Britney wasn't even allowed to go out to buy a cup of coffee by herself and you think that she'd be arranging Myah Marie and relying on autotune? She did not like the product of Britney Jean at all and her label decided to still pursue the same direction but with these factors to make their jobs easier. 

Song writing camps? That is present for 1 in every 7 pop artists

Sure, let us all abandon the opinions of revered publications and artists just to agree with ATRL user, Ugo  The fact that the revisiting of Britney's career has only brought in more praise towards her clearly squashes this narrative you are trying to push. Continue to seethe

Literally  They hate to see that the new wave of appreciation for Britney's career is going against everything that they've been trying to push for what? 15 years? Too bad it's backfiring. Watch them realize that they r able to channel their thoughts on this site because of the very impact that they choose to deny.

She has never directly cited her as so but you can literally see it through subtle shoutouts. The Break Free music video is literally in itself that and more than just a subtle shoutout, as well
