"And this generation still wonder what's so special about these hasbeens"

... Preach! I'm here for this comment! I understand that our favs will not always be IT girls forever, but their legacies deserves respect! What they've managed to accomplish will forever remain timeless! You can't undo it! It doesn't really matter what they do now(that we may or may not care for). There's no pressure for any of them to win now, they reached a special status! They're music royalty!

This is why I've never disrespected the pioneers from the past (Stevie, Diana, Aretha, Fleetwood Mac, Donna Summer, Billy Joel, Phil Collins, etc) even if I didn't particularly like them, simply because the industry rest upon on their shoulders! They're apart of the foundation! What MJ, Whitney, Janet, Prince and all their peers manage to do was carry a torch and take thing to greater heights (career wise) because of those doors being opened by those that came before them.

@John
I also agree with you, these artists are "true survivors". The reason why is because you can't ever make a legend a "never was"! That's not even something that logically makes sense to do! So many artists WILL NOT become legendary or iconic! That's why there's no way you can disrespect their careers (even if you don't appreciate their artistry)! Period!
