#TBT to THREE LEGENDS all in one picture for the June 2004 issue of Essence Magazine. This photo was actually taken just two days after Janet’s infamous Super Bowl performance. IMAGINE THIS COLLAB.

Yup. 3 legends.
JANET: Probably the most influential black female of pop music history. Has the most consecutive top ten hits than anyone else. Definitive style. Trailblazer. Ushered in New Jack Swing. Sex symbol. Early pop feminist icon. A performing force. Iconic videos, dances and looks. One part of one of the most successful families of all time. Trailblazer.
MARY: The Queen of Hip-Hop and Soul, making way for commercially successful acts in that genre and paving the way for hip-hop collabs. Eight multi-platinum albums. Legends Award at the World Music Awards. The most successful R&B artist of the last 25 years (Billboard, 2009). Iconic voice and distinct body of work. Influential albums.
BEYONCÉ: Lead singer of one of the most iconic and successful girl groups of all time. Record breaking solo career. Popularized / created the staccato rap-sung style of DC, still used in pop by everyone from the R&B divas to the pop princesses. Acclaimed artist. The most nominated woman in Grammy history (62x). Massive tours. Re-imagined the function of an artist in a post-digital world. Surprise releases. Visual albums. Female artist of the decade (2000s: Billboard). Strong black feminist. Unparalleled, impeccable, legendary performing abilities.
