Fridays should have always been the TEA tho.
That's when most people get paid (if you don't get paid via semi-monthly), and/or spend money.

Sales and trophy a don't make a legend.

Legend is opinion anyway. It's someone who is famous for doing something really well, even more if they've inspired someone/something. But someone may think Lumidee songs amazingly and someone else will disagree. I guess there are undeniables like MJ and Madonna tho.

I definitely think it's subjective to some degree but the fact that there's undeniable legends makes the term more tangible and less opinion based.

I think being a legend is a combination of a few themes mentioned: Longevity, cultural impact, commercial success, influence, artistic uniqueness, and how revered you are by fans & peers.

!!!!!!!!!! IMO, longevity can play a factor but its not necessarily a requirement. Some legends made that kind of impact in a very short amount of time.

So is Gag legendary? She has had commercial success and she had all the gals trying to be edgy. Plus her vids are some of the best videos distributed by a pop girl.


Ya fuckin faggot :fuming:

Bell Biv DeVoe are legendary IMO. Poison still knocks. Uniqueness and creativity makes one a legend... wether it be style, vocals, music videos, etc.

Oleta Adams is a legend off of one song tbh
