Lol fair enough.

I am from the UK and Kylie has always been a huge star here since the 80s.Exactly, it was ALWAYS Prince, Michael, and Madonna..
Shania Twain is up there. That woman dominated a whole era in her genre. She is the Queen of country. Even MTV was playing her videos (and you know well that channel wasn't into that kind of music). She is one of the best-selling female artists.
Shania didn't even made the crossover like Taylor Sniff and still everyone knew who she was. MTV was playing her all over the place.To be honest I think a lot of these artists are older now so therefore no longer releasing new music.
It does not mean they are forgotten or irrelevant.
They made their impact and have millions of fans around the world who still listen to their music.
Nobody's career lasts forever.
Their huge album sales did all the talking anyway (in the case of Shania Twain for example) and they still have hundreds of millions of views on YouTube and get plenty of streams.
I don't care for Taylor.Shania didn't even made the crossover like Taylor Sniff and still everyone knew who she was. MTV was playing her all over the place.
Taylor is a talented woman and was in her to become mainstream. But the Kanye West scandal gave a push too. I wonder how she feels about him today.
I definitely agree. Boyz II Men were super huge. They dominated for years in R&B and still NOBODY mention them today.Brandy. She was THE teen queen in the 90s, the vocal Bible and an acclaimed actress, then in the early 00s it’s like she just dropped off the face of the earth in terms of level of fame. She’s enjoyed some resurgence in acting with Star a few years back as well as Moesha on Netflix now, but I never see her music really referenced and remembered like that when you couldn’t escape her sound in the 90s.
Boyz 2 Men is another one. Platinum records and immense talent for days but no one talks about them these days. I hear more people talking about Jodeci when it comes to iconic male r&b groups than B2M.
Ricky Martin was done several years before getting out of the closet. So no, that definitely didn't affect him at all. On the contrary, he became a bit more relevant. Got a play in Broadway and participated in The Voice Australia. Before he made news the general public forgot about Ricky Martin. He peaked for only 1 year in the USA and then quickly disappeared. The dude was almost a one hit wonder.Ricky Martin. See why people stay in the closet? Soon as he came out it was over.
Robbie Williams.
Sade.
Can someone define "NOBODY mention them today"? B2M is always discussed as a standard bearer for 90s R&B groups.... someone just made a funny thread yesterday about them/their music.... they appeared on an episode of "Songland" last year.... they sung on the 2019 Soul Train Awards to honor Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.... they were featured on the 2020 Soul Train Awards Pass the Mic... and they continue to perform... if I am not mistaken, they opened a couple shows for Bruno Mars in 2018... no, they aren't selling 2-3 million records but they are still remembered and appreciated for what they contribute....I definitely agree. Boyz II Men were super huge. They dominated for years in R&B and still NOBODY mention them today.
At least I've seen Brandy making apparitions in TV shows. Not too long ago she had a play in Broadway (I think).
It was just my impression. Thanks for clarifying.Can someone define "NOBODY mention them today"?

People forget he dropped like two dis records against the king of pop. That’s how big he was, he thought that was a good idea and millions of people agreed.Who else besides Gloria was suddenly forgotten?
I feel like MC Hammer is in that group. He was the first mainstream rapper and his main hit was huge globally speaking. I still remember being a kid in my country and knowing about him and Can't Touch This. They were commercials inspired by this song. Movies even got inspired by it too. I was a little kid back then and remember it.
She be Xanned the Eff out and drunk all the time....allegedlyPaula Abdul
Those are only like two of the best songs ever written.Irene was never a superstar. She just had two huge hits--"Fame" and "Flashdance...What a Feeling."
Wow what a hater. Why would he do that? Michael was a sweet person. Hammer wasn't even around when the pedophile accussations came out I think (or at least wasn't as hot compared to when Can't Touch This topped the chart).People forget he dropped like two dis records against the king of pop.

Unfortunately for Hammer, MJ won by killing him with kindness and ignoring him.
Her music career suffered after Artpop but she managed to pull it together by getting into acting. She earned 2 Golden Globes and an Oscar a few years ago. Also, she just won a Grammy this year for Rain On Me but honestly the only reason why is because of Ariana.Lady Gaga. I've seriously haven't heard sh!t from her since her, ARTPOP , Album...!!! , Along with, Christina Aguilera since her , Lotus , Album TOO , 100% PERIODDDDD
He claimed to be the ‘real heir’ to James Browns legacy and wanted to prove it. He had someone play MJ in one of his videos and then challenged MJ to a dance-off.Wow what a hater.

Freddie Jackson. When I learned how many R&B #1s and top tens he had, I was shocked. He doesn’t really have much of a legacy that’s discussed.
One major factor in people being “forgotten” in that sense is whether or not people liked their personality, or just their songs. Did they have any major pop culture moments? Also, do younger artists cite them as an influence, or copy them? If not, they usually fade.
Oh God. Funny not funny.He claimed to be the ‘real heir’ to James Browns legacy and wanted to prove it. He had someone play MJ in one of his videos and then challenged MJ to a dance-off.

Cory Daye (Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band) special shout out to Kid Creole too
Lionel Richie was basically forgotten until American Idol. When you think of it though very few acts are able to remain relevant for more than a decade.
Truly! Much respect to John Singleton for solidifying this great band's legacy and introducing them to future generations by featuring them in the soundtrack of his classic film! Their music evokes a certain joie de vivre and nostalgia that harkens back to the days of yesteryear. So inspired by the incredible talent and musicianship of this ensemble. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!I recently found out about them. I was rewatching boyz in.the hood and heard their song in the background. Apparently they were big in.the late 70s early 80s. They really had a unique sound and great songwriting too.
Also she presents the Red Table Talk spinoff with her daughter and niece.Why? Gloria and her husband Emilio are filthy rich. What about the ones who were also once on top and now live in poverty.
Gloria has a great legacy she is will always be considered as an icon, especially when talking about influential Latin artistes.
Unless you were in high school like I was during her prime from 75-79 when she was a big name then you'd remember but I don't expect those who were born let's say 1973, 1974 or later to remember her unless their parents told them.
Becoming a born again and making religious references throughout her songs or talking about religion during her concerts caused a huge lost with her gay audience (her core fans) and then we have the whole rumour regarding her comments about gays which I won't get into.
