Oh no, what will Janet do next? (60 replies to follow).

People like to point out that Madonna courted controversy for attention and sales, but think about it, under normal circumstances and in the hands of a lesser celebrity, these controversies would be career wrecking. Madonna provoked and pushed the envelope and take risks while Janet played it safe.

Also telling is that Janet’s first two albums were all but forgotten. To the general public, her debut was Control….that is after Janet started adopting Michael’s image and through the songwriting and production team of Jam and Lewis.

And for people who said sales and numbers do not count? I am sure if Janet had more sales and number ones, you would be using that as proof that she has it over Madonna.

Whether the media is desperate to erase Janet Jackson is up for debate. But the fact is, the single most famous and influential female singer on this planet is Madonna. Even if you hate her: more than 30 years after her debut, she STILL can generate such STRONG opinions about her.

I enjoy Madonna’s music as well, however Janet does not need to be a bigger star than Madonna because her music/work speaks for itself!! This article is wonderful and right on point! Janet created her own brand and indeed changed the face of pop music! Her music was and remains innovative! In a lot of ways she effortlessly became a bigger super star than Michael!

The only reason people had a problem with the super bowl, because it was an African American female!! Many females had public displays of nudity, however up until 2004 they had all been caucasian!

Janet will be back and even better than ever! She has always been the expert at reinventing herself! I do love her for many reasons, however the biggest reason was and is how she kept her life private. She remains a classy African American women!

I waited up, attempted and pretended to be interested in the game but at that moment of her performance, I feel asleep. I ended up watching it later on and that is how I know that Janet is one of the baddest ladies in the game, hands down. Her tragic moment would be success for so many others during that time. Everyone is forgetting that ‘Youtube’ was almost birth due to this misfortunate accident and I say: “ACCIDENT”. Janet has been a risk-taker in the game for some time and she loved to tease and make you hunger for all that is putting out and giving you. If you think about her performance of her rock classic ‘Black Cat’, which still doesn’t get the credit that it is due because she totally flipped everything inside out. Janet would rip open her own shirt to expose a very beautiful bra and some cleavage for the ages during her performance of this song.

You saw the video and then when she performed it live, you waited for her to show her bra. Boys, girls, women and men waited for this moment. Janet would do so way before the USA Women Soccer team got wild and crazy and one gal ran around with her bra. It wasn’t seen as offensive, or vulgar and upsetting as and this happened on TV and not a word was spoken. Actually her doing so (the soccer gal) was celebrated and every publication, every news outlet would cheers this activity. Of course she was a White woman (No T, No Shade but all Shade) and allegedly in the United States of America, White women can’t do anything wrong. I love Miley but girlfriend is riding a plastic penis on stage and then NBC would put her concert show on TV. I don’t blame Miley for doing her thing and making that money.

However, Janet in her younger career wouldn’t have the golden opportunities (same ones Miley is getting now) as say her ‘alleged’ counterpart, Madonna would have. Janet would literally have to go overseas and get ad contracts, commercials and such. Madonna who is a talent in her own rights and believe me, I used to be anti-Madonna for a hot minute because how the power that be in the business of show, would put her up against Janet and these were totally two different artist with their own flair for entertainment. The media is wonderful and I couldn’t be more of an entertainment person but the media is also hateful at times and will build you up, to knock you right down. If you really think about it, they have always throw MJ (R.I.P) against Prince and always wanted to cause some kind of war between them. After awhile if someone is constantly telling you that this person is out to get you or this person is trying to mess with you bread and butter, you start to believe it. The way that I see Rihanna (people need to leave that child alone) and Katy Perry being friends and just very supportive of one another.

Can I say that I always wished that for Madonna and Janet but I do remember how the war of worlds went down. Madonna was somehow hanging out with Michael and it seemed that they had some admiration for one another. After Madonna’s ‘Truth Or Dare’ and her involvement with ‘Act Up’ (The Gay and AIDS activist group), Madonna was ready to throw anyone under the bus. Long before Madonna came along, there were people always wondering if MJ was gay. Madonna came along and she was determined to get MJ to confess to the world that he was gay. World got back to Janet and she was and always about her family and protecting them to hilt. Janet snapped out and made it known publicly that she wasn’t a fan of Madonna for this act of betrayal. Madonna pretended to be MJ’s friend and he even took Madonna as his date to the Oscar. These two had some kind of musical marriage or at least that was the plan but I don’t think anything come of it. It’s alleged that Madonna is the woman talking in the beginning on ‘In The Closet’ and then they fell off.

Janet being the best little sister warned Michael of what Madonna was trying to do. One thing I have always heard is Janet has never officially met Madonna but of course they know of one another but they have been alleged mortal enemnies. If Debbie Reynolds forgave Liz Taylor (R.I.P) and Liz being this insanely beautiful and charming woman, she wooed Debbie (who is still FABULOUS) man (Eddie Fisher), I think it’s possible for everyone to find forgiveness in their heart.

Janet was and still is a seasoned vet and it’s my belief that everything Janet is seen in so many artist today and even when she was making a name for herself. I pray she comes back and blesses us.

Then Janet had said in interviews she was going to hold off on making an album because records don’t sell the way they used too. With sites like iTunes people aren’t selling like they used too. In closing, if Janet was finished her Number Ones wouldn’t have produced another number one for her. Another fact about Janet Damita-Jo Jackson she is the only artist male or female to release a number ones with new tracks/songs on it and have every song hit number one on one of the charts. “Make me” hit number one on the dance charts. Death of her iconic brother, drama with her mom and niece & nephews. Making movies and getting married where would one find time to record an album?

Unlike most artist Janet sings about what’s going on in her life and let’s that do the writing. She refuses to let people do the writing for. IF she does she has to really like the song.
