Kanye West Nominates Beyoncé For Living Legend Title
December 1, 2008 by Jyle
Is Beyoncé better than Tina Turner? Kanye West seems to think so. Kanye West told reporters that he believed that Beyonce was a “living legend” and is bigger and if not better than Tina Turner.
In a strange turn of events Kanye has turned from his usual self-promoting attitude to one of praising others. He dedicated his MTV Artist of the Year Award to Lil’ Wayne and now seems to be promoting Beyoncé as the best artist ever.
I don’t know what’s going on but I seem to like the new Kanye more.

I agree!!!! I think Kanye is right for a change.
Beyonce is a living Legend, and I think it’s time people start giving her the props she deserve.
Beyonce is a lving ICON!
I think kanye west is right,cos beyonce has been consistent and personally i love her music
NO WAY. Tina Turner is a lving legend. She faced the segregation of the 50s/60s. She is a rock, RB artist.
Bk has success yes but what adversity has she faced.
Kanye needs 2 sit down.
you guys are kidding me or what ? beyonce ,a living legend?… she is highly entertaining,very beautiful and talented but icons started off as REAL people. she nevers speaks of any struggle or real life situation. she just performs. icons are recognized for their musical , political, and life changing works. A legend? it takes a lot to be a a legend…u just need to compare her to legends to understand what i’m talking about…ok, she can turn on the whole male population n tries sooo hard to sound like mariah carey ( which she doesnt quite manage!!), copies other artists dance moves, styles and choreagraphy concepts and take credit for songs she doesnt manage to write !!! alright, ur right she’s a livin legend…at being the most phony,plastic,manufactured and marketable female artist in music entertainment today entertainment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree so much 2 what u just said. Beyonce is a good entertainer (especially 4 men) but a living legend? R U REALLY SERIOUS?! NOT ONLY DO THEY SAY THAT ABOUT HER BUT THEY ALSO CALL HER THE QUEEN OF R&B (ARETHA FRANKLIN), THE QUEEN OF R&B & HIP-HOP (MARY J. BLIGE), QUEEN OF POP (MADONNA & JANET JACKSON).
LET’S B HONEST PEOPLE
what does having some type of struggle have to do with icon.. icon means, in this case, a rolemodel or superstardom! beyonce has clearly passed all that.. even people who dont like her can agree. i dont think there is one person who doesnt know her and a song of hers. she is our generations legend. she is beautiful and even if you think shes not.. it doesnt make her less of a legend.. look at michael jackson. she is a talented vocalist. she can dance and entertain.. she takes real life and the internet by storm.. she is an icon.. and a legend.. if she dies today god forbid she will be remembered forever.. now is she as big as legends like michael jackson no but she will be with time..
beyonce screams she doesnt sing. she is fake and her record company buys her albums. Fake fake. Her ass is fake, her face is fake. She cant write songs. she lies all the time. She wants to be an icon
sHE LIP SYNC YOU HAVE TO WATCH CLOSELY.
Legend? hahaha of the booty shaker. THere is no depth in her songs. Tina turner tells stories, messages, and powerful meanings to her songs. Beyonce hasn;t done any of them. ALl the people that think she is, need to take a deeper look in things. A lot of people in this world don’t because they are too stupid to realize.
Ricomora, in time she’ll be like michael jackson? LMFao no when MJ was 21 he was already a legend, no doubt. If many people don;t like her work; change their emotions when listening to her music; realize her “talent”; then she is not a legend. Yes, she could dance(kinda, she mostly shakes her butt and people think thats dancing) but her voice just makes a lot of loud noises, she tries to sound enchanting but it not working for her. Lmao. She’s overrated.
For her to be like Michael Jackson, she needs a lot of creativity. She lacks that 100%. she copies off of artist and gets away with it. I don’t care if she paid for it. What’s the fucking point of being an artist if you are not original and artistic about your work?
i love beyonce, im a huge fan of beyonces but a legend? thats a bit too far. people like, michael jackson, madonna, aretha franklin, marvin gaye, diana ross, patti labelle, the beatles, prince, janet jackson, tina turner ect are legends. and she has nothing on either of them. putting beyonce on that list of legends, she just doesn’t fit. im 13 and honestly, i’d pick tina turner over beyonce, madonna over lady gagag (aka madonna wanna be) and janet jackson over ciara. everything was better back in the day. stuff today is just garbage
