20 years into her career, she is still selling out tours and scoring #1 albums. She clearly has longevity. I'd say the 15-20 years is enough time to determine if someone has reached legend status. Is Pink a legend?
Keep in mind there are different levels of "legend". The Beatles and Cher are both legends but obviously on different tiers.

She's incredibly successful but she isn't legendary. Way too MOR to be a legend. |

She’s a legendary talent with MOR output.

I think it is too early to bestow such a title upon her or any of her other contemporaries.

I think she will be remembered as one, but that's something only time can determine.

Celine has an iconic song attached to a huge sountrack that is still culturally relevant. And with at least 1-2 more iconic songs. What is Pink’s iconic song(s) that transcends the MORness of her material.? |

I love her, but P!nk is not a "legend." I'm not convinced Celine Dion is one either, but she's closer than P!nk.
There's a difference in having a long career and being a legend. We'll see how P!nk is viewed in another decade or two.

She's had longevity, sure, but there just isn't that iconic song that makes up stand up and take notice.

Pink to me seems like Maroon 5 kinda. In terms of status.

BTW I don't think it's too early to determine if one is or isn't. Madonna reached legend status around ROL era I would say, so about 15 years. MJ was probably during Dangerous so roughly 15 years solo. Whitney was probably during My Love era so again roughly 15 years. One could argue Beyonce reached it during Lemonade.

"Legend" is about respect/impact, but can also be about influence. Many people are legends because of their influence on other singers/musicians, and I just don't think P!nk has influenced music. That isn't to diss her as I like a lot of her music, but you don't see a generation of artists who are in her mold.

I don't really know what a "legend" is tbh. It seems a bit strange to me to consider current/recent artists as legends since it's a term I'm so used to seeing applied to big names from the 60s or 70s. It's almost like I'm a bit adverse to considering anyone from the 90s onward as a legend and then I stop and ask myself - why not? Why does 20+ years of ongoing constant (or in Pink's case, almost increasing) success not count?
Would I say Pink is a legend? Nah, not really. I think she's iconic and she's had an impact on pop music and pop culture but she doesn't strike me as someone I'd call a legend. I'd call Celine Dion a legend. I also think that distinction is more of a recent development. I don't think there's a specific line that needs to be crossed or anything since there's no rule book or guideline or anything written about it. It's more of a collective thought, open for discussion but at the end of the day comes down to whether you consider a star as a legend or you don't.

A legend? I'm not sure. But I've always had a sneaking suspicion she might be the first artist from my generation to sneak their way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Celine Dion may not be a legend to some today (she is to me), but she will be regarded as one, know that.
P!nk is not a legend and I don't think she ever will be regarded as one.

No. She’s had a long, respectable career but her impact on music and pop culture has been minimal.

Just because the biggest of big in terms of music are legends, doesn't mean someone not up to their level can't be? That's... ridiculous logic?

IMO yes, she's a trendsetter and her style is recognizably her in both her music, fashion, and performances
Plus given her acrobatics skill being so prominent, it's definitely noteworthy

I would say that Pink is close to the same class as Gwen Stefani.Both have had long careers but not quite in the legends class.I would put Gwen ahead of Pink because she was the lead singer of No Doubt and became a successful solo singer and a model as well as being on a TV show.
