What do you all think some of these pop stars's signiature song will be? Kind of like how Aretha is tied to Respect and Whitney with IWALY.

Beyonce - Single Ladies Crazy in Love
Gaga - Bad Romance
Taylor Swift - I'm going to kidnap you and lock you in a cellar forever You Belong With Me
.

Let's set this straight...

Records sold

Beyonce sold 60.000.000 records with Destiny's Child.

And 75.000.000 records as a solo artist.

All of Bey's albums went #1 and she has more #1 singles and bigger hits.
Billboard even awarded her with the Millenium Award

Christina Aguilera sold 50mln records

Only two Christina albums went #1, and she has less #1 singles

Tour Gross

Beyonce's last tour gross: $119,5 million

Xtina's last tour gross: CANCELLED

Grammy Wins


Beyonce's Grammy count: 16 Grammy's
Xtina's Grammy Count: 4 Grammy's


Beyonce trashes Christina when it comes to movie box-office. Bey's overal performances are vastly superior also.
Who is the better singer tho? That's debatable.

Miscellaneous
- Xtina likes to date younger boy-toys and beats her kid. She has trouble with her weight and doesn't use tampons.

- Beyonce is the wife of soon to become billionaire Jay-Z. And her daughter is the youngest person ever to chart on the Billboard charts.

When being totally unbiased, you'll know that Beyonce is the bigger star here.

I'll give you everything else, but that Blue Ivy thing about her charting is actually the most fucking ridiculous thing I've ever seen and or heard.

How disgusting

That whole baby seems to be some giant marketing / PR ploy.

They seem to be exploting this pregnancy and child to make as much money / garner as much attention as possible.

I've lost respect for both of them and their exploitation.

Certainly goes against your THEORY doesn't it.

It does. I also like the Rih shade of not even mentioning her in the 'iconic song' conversation. Clearly it's "We Found Love", but no one mentions her name. The absolute pressure.

And Crazy In Love is Beyonce's iconic song. It's her coming out party.

And of course Beyonce > Xtina

Christina Aguilera has over 100 million records sold as a solo artist.

The correction invalidates half of your post.

Also, while all of Beyonce's albums have enjoyed #1 certification they have all also come with a nice LAWSUIT for PLAGIARISM. Some lawsuits potent enough to get her albums temporarily pulled from shelves. The embarrassment. The lack of integrity. The ruthlessness.

Nice try tho, Second.

If We Found Love didn't come out then it would definitely be Umbrella.

Mind you I hate how simple and easy We Found Love is as a song, it's literally the most basic of compositions.

So I say Umbrella =)

I think both songs are iconic, it just depends on what your personal preference is. If you like your Rih with a little more R&B, you'd prefer Umbrella, if you like her with a little more Dance, you'd prefer We Found Love.

I go between them from time to time, but to me right now it's WFL.

We Found Love has amazing staying power. Even after hearing it for the millionth time, I still love it when I hear it.

Funny considering I actually poopoo'd the song a bit first because it's repetitive and goes nowhere (which I still find btw). I went back to the Talk that Talk review thread, where I said "I'm tired of the song now". Evidently, it stuck around...

I prefer Where Have You Been from the TTT era. I listened to it while cleaning earlier and it was just amazing. Everything about it slays me. *.*

And Beyonce isn't a criminal, unlike Xtina

Beyonce also performed for the president while Xtina couldn't even remember the lyrics of her countries national anthem.

Now THAT's lack of integrity.

I like Shakira but Wut why

she is a power house
She is also a UNICEF ambassador and founder of the Barefoot Foundation, which she established in 1996 to improve and provide early education systems around the world. Education, she says, provides an escape to poverty and violence, and 72 million children are unable to attend primary school. In the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti Shakira donated $400,000 to aid in providing meals, water and sanitation to the country's schools during reconstruction. To promote her cause, she has met with world leaders like U.S. President Barack Obama and Israel President Shimon Peres and recruited power players like Howard Buffett, son of the famed investor, to Barefoot's board, which lobbies governments to provide more funds to education and school construction. A globally influential artist, Shakira will perform in Azerbaijan during the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2012 and is reportedly nearing a $60 million negotiated deal between former record label Sony and concert producer Live Nation for her next three albums and tours.

1) Nice, one example.
2) Christina isn't even named in the suit.
3) Didn't get her album pulled from shelves.

Pfft - Christina wasn't even charged. Her Boyfriend was driving under the influence, but the cops couldn't let Christina drive home since she was also intoxicated, so they took her to the station until she sobered up. Hardly criminal behavior.


I think a singular case of flubbing a song you've been singing in stadiums since childhood does not count as a lack of integrity against someone who blatantly and flagrantly steals from other artists. But that's just me.
