== The "Legacy" of an active artist == |
|||
The word "legacy" primarily means something handed down by someone who is dead; by extension, it can be used to refer to people who aren't literally dead, but to use the word to refer to the influence of someone who is still active seems very odd to me. The obvious title for the section that is currently titled "Legacy" would be "Influence," which means much the same but doesn't carry the connotation that Beyoncé is no longer active. Is there any reason to prefer "Legacy" to "Influence"? [[User:VoluntarySlave|VoluntarySlave]] ([[User talk:VoluntarySlave|talk]]) 17:55, 8 September 2013 (UTC) |

:As the section stands, only a small paragraph refers to Knowles' influence on other artists, the other two are about songs, dances, things named after her etc. "Legacy" encompasses what the singer is most notable for, changed and established; something handed down by someone after their dead is a different usage. For example, the fact that the section demonstrates "Crazy in Love" was considered one of the best pop songs of the decade isn't Knowles' ''influence'', it's an extent of success—what that song changed, why it was so prominent, etc. Also, as I explained in my edit summary, such sections are found on an exhaustive list of Wikipedia articles of ''active'' musicians, even articles of featured status ([[Mariah Carey]] and [[Kylie Minogue]]), as well as [[Britney Spears]], [[Rihanna]], [[Christina Aguilera]], [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], [[Mary J. Blige]], etc. I don't see why "Influence" would be preferred on this article and not on others that use this term. —''[[User:JennKR|JennKR]]'' | [[User talk:JennKR|☎]] 18:21, 8 September 2013 (UTC) |

Public Image - Beyoncé being in Variety's Women's Impact List 2013
"It's not that Beyonce does things that other stars don't, it's just that she does them on a level that few of her contemporaries can match, and 2013 has been a banner year in Beyonce exceptionalism. Other stars sign brand endorsement deals for a quick paycheck — Beyonce gets Pepsi to pony up $50 million for a “creative content development fund,” whose purpose seems to be whatever Beyonce wants it to be. When HBO airs a two-hour documentary on her life, she gets to direct it herself. When she goes on a summer stadium tour, it surpasses $50 million in grosses after the first 30 dates. When Beyonce plays the Super Bowl halftime show, she sets Twitter records and the stadium's power grid goes dark in response. When she gives birth to a daughter with husband, Jay Z, it becomes the hip-hop generation's “Baby Ricky” moment."
