Is Baby One More time more iconic than Single Ladies?

[Corona]

I had to even look it up. What is "Single Ladies"? So I watched the Music Video and was not impressed. Needless to say "BOMT" will forever be remembered even by people who may never have seen it at all.

[Intoxicated]

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

lmfao gurl,  that truth tea is too real in this comment

• PopMatters writer Evan Sawdey commented that Spears's concept for the music video of the song was the one responsible for her immediate success, saying that, as a result, the singer "scored a massive No. 1 single, inadvertently started the late '90s teen pop boom, and created a public persona for herself that was simultaneously kid-friendly and pure male fantasy.

p.s.1 If we talk about the covers of Baby one more time then it would take another post as big as this...

p.s.2 Number 1 in EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY RELEASED!!!

p.s.3 Most of the lists above were created at least a DECADE after the release...

p.s.4 It was released many years before the digital era but managed to make an incomparable impact nevertheless...

 

Let them have their parodies if they want...

ahahahahahahahah oh please!!!!! what a question!!!!          

 

 

 

Baby One More Time >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beyonce + Destiny's Child career.... 

but it is so obvious that we don''t even need to say it... 

WELL SAID 

[MikeyBitch]

Baby One More Time is the gate to Britney's iconic status and hits. Payolance's Single Ladies was not. It was a hit, and one of very few "classic" Beyonce songs (only ones on my mind are Single Ladies, Crazy In Love and Irreplaceable..."

 

Beyonce's "gate" to being anything even close to relevant is Destiny's Child. I will always stan for Kelly Rowland, cuz she's the one with actual talent, versatility and she hasn't bleached her skin and is a black/gay/female icon.

Beyonce is nothing without Destiny's Child. Same as Justin is nothing without Nsync. They might have a few hits here and there spread between years, but they will never be a solo-act icon. Ever. It's different when you join a "band" as a CHILD, like Britney was for a small while or Michael Jackson, but when your career is actually based on a group, then that's the first thing on the general public's resume. People would take a Destiny's Child concert any day over a Bleachonce show. People would pay way more to watch Nsync than Justin Timberlake. These are facts.

 

Britney has countless hits that make her recognizable, depending on how old the person you are asking. If you ask a 35-year old, they will say Britney's iconic because of BOMT, Oops. If you ask someone who is 40, They will say BOMT, Oops, Slave, Toxic. If you ask someone in their 20's, they will say BOMT, Oops, Slave, Toxic, Gimme More, Womanizer and Till the World Ends, and probably Work Bitch. Teenagers will probably say BOMT, Slave, Toxic, Gimme More, Womanizer, Circus??, TTWE, IWG?? and definitely Scream&Shout and Work Bitch.

 

Ask ANY generation about Beyonce's solo hits... You always get: Crazy In Love and Single Ladies. (Maybe Irreplaceable too). Her new album, although promoted heavily and induced with payolas left and right, failed at having one entity considered "iconic" aside from referring to her "energetic" shows (which have been the same moves since Bday era..

  :umk:

 

 

At the end of the day. Britney is an iconic, legendary solo act - no different than Michael Jackson TBH - except she is still 32 and still can (if she wants) to add onto her legacy. Piece Of Me shows definitely did the purpose they were supposed to: remind the world why she is iconic. FF tour didn't do that, so POM show is successful both financially and culturally. Beyonce's Mrs. Clorox show was financially big but I do not recall anyone actually going to it somehow   Probably just arenas in hoor-rat areas and the ghetto - which is where most of her "hive" lives presumably. Her new show with Jay Z is a mess. Same choreo. Same 5 songs. Same looks. Nothing groundbreaking. Nothing iconic. Bring on Destony's Child, then we'll talk, cuz that was an iconic girl band.

 

So hopefully that answers your question.

 

Oh and Britney has a massive army, whereas Thiefonce's "hive" is mostly part of the general public, bandwagonning, hood-rat individuals and weave-pounding ghetto drag queens and draq-queen looking females (mostly in US or UK and Africa). Britney's army is generally classy women, classy gays, from all over the world and from all backgrounds - all of whom are sexy and actually work out. What's Beyonce's most famous fansites? Dunno. Britney has countless. Please. Britney = 21st century Marilyn Monroe. Beyonce is merely an Elizabeth Taylor. One has art, statues, books, and tributes - whereas the other has 3,4 "classics"

Single Ladies is iconic?

Thanks hunny

 

I say, Be a "Drag" ANNNNDDD be a Queen 

 

Sadly, one must be aware of weave flying off Beyhive's heads once dragged. I have an MA in Philosophy and I use those skills to argumentatively drag and shade other delusional fanbases and haters

 

 

[MikeyBitch]

wtf is this even a serious question

IKR lol

[paula24bs]

ABEL-o-matic

No offense, but the ass shaking in SL alone is a lot harder than just hand sways and a couple of hair flips in BOMT.

 

wtf? is this guy serious? am I the only one seeing the backflip and the part that she's lifted in the air?   

[Zefron]

BOMT is more iconic than any other song tbh

[GlenCoco]

Lol the question offends me.............

 

sia's backup vocals on perfum are more iconic than Hellyonce's fake career

Baby One More Time is WAY MORE relevant than Single Ladies. BOMT was released in the 90's, at a time where you had to be really good to be impactful. Single Ladies were released in the Digital Era, where is much easier to get attention and success. And even though ...Baby were released in 1998, the MV could reach +100 million views on VEVO. Single Ladies was viral but the BOMT's legacy is real 

Ew Ew Ew EW and NO! Every britney spears single, xtina singles and even jessica simpson singles craps all over Single ladies. Okay, I admit that I'm NOT a fan of beyonce.. never was(Except in D.C).. never will be.. but that crap of a music deserved to flop. The fact that it succeeded showed how crappy music (and people) have sunk.

BOMT actually had LYRICS to go with its awesome music. It wasn't repetitive as hell. The only time Single ladies was tolerable was when Naomi Clark from 90210 sang it jokingly. Ugh!! Beyawnce my @ss!
