An icon, to me, is someone whose image and persona embody a specific movement or culture. A legend is anyone who makes lasting music. Jimi Hendrix is an icon, Eric Clapton is a legend.

And to boot she's got some great songs. I firmly believe songs like Crazy In Love and especially Countdown are iconic and will one day be legendary.
