nostalgia Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Does a popgirl need to embody kindness and class to secure legendary status? While these attributes can undoubtedly enhance a performer's appeal, their absence doesn't preclude the attainment of legendary status. Cher and Christina Aguilera serve as prime examples; while they haven't consistently projected an image of kindness, their impact on pop culture is undeniable. However, it's essential to acknowledge that public perception plays a significant role in determining a popstar's legacy. Kindness, or the lack thereof, can influence how the general public views an artist. Those who consistently demonstrate kindness and grace may enjoy a more favorable reputation among fans, which could contribute to their status as legends. Conversely, perceived unkindness or controversy can tarnish a popstar's image and potentially hinder their path to legendary status, despite their talents and achievements. Ultimately, does kindness and class have a factor in a securing a pop star's legacy in the eyes of the GeePee?

Burn Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hmm, not necessarily. Aretha could be quite nasty towards other ladies in the industry but she's still a legend and very respected. But she had the talent to back it up so nobody would dare call her out on it. So I'd say you're talented enough you can get away with not being a nice person. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigal Self Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The OP is unreadable so I don't know if we're talking about the same thing or no but I kinda feel like we've progressed and now in the social media age you need to be at least a decent human being to become a legend. Madonna's nasty ass lucked out, same with Aretha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discosean Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 What Janet does doesn't have any class to it. Miss "I have to moan orgasmically on every song I do" if you're nasty needs to sit the **** down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay07 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 No but I think if you're nasty behind the scenes and burn bridges with industry professionals, it might come back to bite. See Christina Aguilera and her decades long irrelevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicgenie Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Many people here confuse being Good with being Nice. The majority of Divas in history are good people who are also talented, self-assured and confident. They had to be to make it to the top and not be eaten up in the process. Barbara Stressed, Madonna, Janis, Aretha, Mariah all fit this and many more. Edited March 25 by toxicgenie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
