Because she's "it", now. She's the standard Janet and Whitney were in the 80s/90s, or Diana-Donna-Aretha in the 60s/70s. History is just repeating itself. In 10-15 years, they'll be another chick that's doing what has already been done by the aforementioned women. I think some of them get caught up in the commercial success and recognition she's receiving, and has received in the past. I think they think that's what makes her a legend. She has worked really hard and has done a lot in such a short amount of time, that it IS commendable. She has her hands in a lot, and been successful in quite a few areas, and this is why I believe she'll go down as a legendary "act", rather than a legendary "artist". As I look at her career and compare it to those who came before her, there's a lot of holes in her career, and she's kinda behind, musically speaking. If you look at the albums some of the artists had put out by the time they were her age, you can see what I mean. For instance, Marvin had What's Going On?, Stevie had Talking Book, etc. She's just behind and her evolution as an artist is incredibly slow. The prognosis for her right now is something to look forward to, but I don't expect some grand revival.
