Is Baby One More time more iconic than Single Ladies?

[MyPrerogative3]

Is it a serious question?  The answer is obliviously... 

[LivinLegend]

Baby one more time single handedly rived pop music and i didn't hear single ladies until like 2 years ago the impact was a flop

If it did even have an impact

[LivinLegend]

The BeyHIV needs to realize there's a difference between viral hype and legacy. The only iconic thing about SL is turning your hand around quickly. BOMT has an iconic look that is known to all the GP down to the color of her scrunchies, a lasting pop music imprint, a defining choreo, and everytime Britney is mentioned in the news, the MV's intro scene in teh hallway is universally used.

 

Bitch please. When a 16 year old's debut album sells more than your entire fave's discog, it's time to rethink your life

Baby one more time changed the world. Single ladies was just a hit.

Beyonce fans

[Guest OliverOliver]

 

oh please baby one more time is the most iconic pop song ever.

[MakeItCoolerInHere]

So I saw some Hive members trying it again with saying Single Ladies had more impact than Baby One More Time

 

Maybe we can have a discussion about it with receipts?  Single Ladies actually has a lot of receipts of parodies, imitations, etc. It's harder to find for BOMT cause Internet wasn't as active then so maybe the Army can find some

How much crack is that fanbase smoking daily??

How often are they mixing the crack with crystal meth?

You'd have to be sooooooooooooooooooooo high to think that "Single Ladies" is more iconic than "BOMT"

[TheSnake]

Have you ever seen anyone dressed in the single ladies outfit. Nope.

Also, it's so funny how Brit has Bomt, OIDIA, slave, toxic, womanizer iconic outfits and beyonce has single ladies

Todays Artists make a big deal on their sales. However. when "BOMT" came out you had to purchase a CD. Sales meant something because people actually went out and bought the CD or had pre-ordered it for delivery. None of the internet download they have today which makes it easier to get sales. Britney received at least twice as many sales back then and they were all physical sales. With Britney you can always point to where her career started. Beyoncé's solo career you have to look up.

The BeyHIV needs to realize there's a difference between viral hype and legacy. The only iconic thing about SL is turning your hand around quickly. BOMT has an iconic look that is known to all the GP down to the color of her scrunchies, a lasting pop music imprint, a defining choreo, and everytime Britney is mentioned in the news, the MV's intro scene in teh hallway is universally used.

 

Bitch please. When a 16 year old's debut album sells more than your entire fave's discog, it's time to rethink your life

 

 

The last part tho...  .....

[ValetGirls]

How much crack is this fanbase smoking daily??

How often are they mixing the crack with crystal meth?

You'd have to be sooooooooooooooooooooo high to think that "Single Ladies" is more iconic than "BOMT"

 

I'm high all the time and even I know BOMT is lightyears more iconic than Single Ladies

[Nelli Gaidai]

baby one more time is more iconic than beyonce. period

[Lady Lisa]

And you believe that ? 

[Pokémon Spears]

Is that even a question? BOMT custome is the new Elvis from the 90's. It will be forever remembered

[WorkbitchPerfume]

Perfume is also more iconic than single ladies

(ok, not more iconic but definitely much better, deal with it )

[Jeansus Spears]

both are iconic but saying single ladies is waaaay more iconic is just stupid. 

 

BOMT has been slaying since 1998 without internet shit and without vma controversy

BOMT is much more iconic. Everybody knows the schoolgirl Britney. Everyone. It may be true that people know the Beyonce single ladies video as well, but BOMT was released when there was no VEVO. Without the internet, I doubt SL would be as viral as it was.

[paula24bs]

miles away....everybody knows the song, some steps, and know the schoolgirl outfit is from britney...single ladies was a big hit I'm not going to deny that, but in years from now nobody will rememeber the choreography that everybody loved when it came out...and don't forget that baby was released in 99!!
