The fact that she is known as Janet Jackson and not just Michael Jackson's sister (king of pop and one of the biggest artist ever) speaks everything about her and her talent. Such a legend.
Right Justin is something else he always does a lot of shit for attention and he does so by throwing other women under the bus. He did with Janet, he did with Britney by overextraggering how they broke up and recently did his black female co star (forgot her name) for a upcoming film they did while filming later last year. That co star’s father had to call Justin out through social media
@@Kevin-rg3yc I am fully aware of how he got away scot-free with Nipplegate, and how he brought up Britney and the breakup every chance he had, but that last one is news to me.
Janet has been revered recently. For the last couple of years, she was honored with the Billboard Music Icon Award, Radio Disney Music Impact Award, and was finally inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame a year and a half ago. Unfortunately due to the obvious sexism and racism in the entertainment industry and society in general, Janet was demonized for over 14 years and her record sales were never the same. While Justin Timberfuck not only didn't receive any consequences for his actions, he was in fact rewarded for it. After he had the audacity to throw her under the bus, I was no longer a fan of his after that and never will be again. Janet's legacy will never be denied. 3 of her studio albums are on Rolling Stone's updated 500 Greatest Albums Of All-Time list. Control is the highest ranked Janet album at #111, The Velvet Rope at #318, and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 at #339.
Her legacy stands strong. It is there, and nothing a man did to her will take away from that. It's truly a shame what happened, and she took the blame for it, personally - and by the media. It's so sick.
@@ShweMyaukMyauk I wish it happened sooner. JT always gave me the creeps, on top of the Janet thing, I will never forget the rumor that he was bragging about smashing Britney and taking her virginity. He has no respect for women or people of color.
The funny thing is his album Man Of The Woods sold only 422,000 copies compared to his older albums that sold 1,137,000. His singles like Filthy, & Say Something were the only singles who charted and only at #9 and has no US Certification. His Super Bowl performance was ridiculed, and told to be the most boring Super Bowl in history. Karmas a bitch !
nah they’d crucify madonna as well, they vilified her for everything since the sex book tbh, even today 30 years later people still ask madonna if she regrets doing that stuff and it’s always a resounding NO which i really respect from her
You have to study Madonna's career Madonna's uncanceled no one can cancel Madonna that's just not possible you could try but it's just not going to happen
People need to stop comparing Janet Jackson to Madonna. It's just not right, Madonna is far more superior as an artist. She will always be, she has remained Janet has gone away... Let me tell you something, itt has nothing to do with art. If the same incident happened to Madonna. I promise you she would have continued. Madonna is like the Popstar version of Margaret Thatcher 😆 She is way too tough Janet Jackson is just not 😆 it's the reason why Madonna spoke not Janet when Michael died. She's the only artist that's anywhere near close to his success...
I'd say Britney has the most obvious influence of Janet from her music, voice, dance breakdowns, and performances. I feel like Britney and Janet has more in common with each other than Britney does with Madonna.
She’s so underrated these days. Her streaming numbers and video views are shockingly low for such an icon! The new generation doesn’t understand the impact this woman has had on the music industry!
Streaming numbers for legacy acts are weird. A lot of times they seem off, but I agree, 4-5 million monthly Spotify listeners for Janet Jackson is SHOCKINGLY “low” compared to another veteran act from 80’s like Cyndi Lauper (13 million!) who had no where near as many hit singles.
@@duane_313cyndi lauper has that many monthly listeners mainly because of girls just wanna have fun. Janet doesn’t have a hit single as recognisable as that
SHE IS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED in my generation!!! I am 20 years old so I was not alive for a lot of her early albums and I don’t remember much of her growing up but I revisited her work a few years ago and I’ve been a massive fan since. Also had the pleasure of seeing her November last year and she’s an amazing performer. At 53 years old she can still outperform any of today’s pop girls. Love love love Janet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesss!! She's definitely one of the artists I wish I grew up with. I was born in 1999, and discovering older music makes me wish so bad I got to experience those moments in real time!
Janet is one artist I'm really sensitive about my entire family loves her we fight over who's the biggest Janet fan so I go in when people try to drag her y'all don't understand SHE IS Y'ALL FAVES BLUEPRINT don't EVER play with her like that
True I feel one of the other major reasons why Janet isn’t given enough credits is bc it seems a lot of times the media will like to regulate artists’s legacies to a certain group of new school artists based of their genre and especially their race. They do that with both Janet and Madonna with Janet they like to make it seem it’s only black R&B artists are inspired by her but that’s not true. It was said that Britney was scheduled to be part of the MTV icon special for Janet back in 2002 but her team had her back out bc they wanted to market her as the next Madonna.
Half of Britney’s Britney’s LP featured leftover Janet tracks, most notably I’m a Slave 4 U. Same with Justin getting Michael’s leftovers for Justified
@@antoniobrooks1113 The only “Janet leftovers” off of the Britney album were boys and I’m a slave 4 u as well as toxic from in the zone which was also offered to Kylie Minogue. Justified on the other hand according to Pharrell was made for songs that were specifically to remade the sound of MJ’s off the wall and thriller while rock my body was offered to MJ
The fact that Janet is known to as Janet Jackson and not (Michael Jackson’s little sister) just goes to show that she didn’t need MJ help to help her become an icon
For years I tried to dive myself into Beyoncé’s creative work and get all the praise she receives but I always felt sort of a emptiness o a “something is missing” factor until I found Janet. The way she built up her career as you said from Control to the, THE Rhythm Nation 1814, get rid of the Jackson last name, delivering her self titled album and signing up for the most expensive record deal surpassing Madonna an Michael, that literally destroyed my jaw. I personally thank The Velvet Rope bc I have never found an album I could relate to in the way I did with it and the fact that I came true to myself and realize I needed help (therapy). I owe her and this album so much because of Velvet Rope, the album that saw alternative r&b born. Ugh I love her so much, thanks for the video.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Janet is seriously one of the most underrated legends. Janet is not to be played with. Janet has 10 number 1 singles, 27 top 10 hits. Janet has the biggest selling debut tour in history, Janet’s albums are all classics. Janet has the longest running number 1 by any Jackson family member, including Michael. On billboards list of there 100 artists, Janet ranked 7, Michael ranked 8th. Off rhythm nation alone, Janet became the only artist in history to have 7 top 5 singles off one album. 4 being number one. Janet also is the only artist to have number 1s from one album in three separate calendar years. Janet’s Janet. Has sold 20 million worldwide and the same with Rhythm Nation 1814. Janet was the highest paid performer in the world, twice, beating out MJ and Madonna. Not to mention Janet was named the second most successful artist of the 90s, right after Miz Mariah Carey. Janet’s dancing and singing will go down in history. Janet never used her family for fame, in fact in the 90s especially it can be argued her family used HER name to stay afloat. Janet is the blueprint. Janet doesn’t seem to get her flowers because of internalized racism in the industry. The ceo of CBS (Les Moonves) was obsessed with ruining her career after the incident (Super Bowl) because she wasn’t “sincere enough.” Seriously look it up yall. Not to mention the velvet rope is still one of the most influential and important albums ever and is a precursor and helped shaped alternative R&B. I could go on and on about Janet’s impact, beauty, accolades, but you get my point. I stand up for Janet more than any artists because she has been done so wrong. Thank you again for this video
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - and WOW! I love how passionate you are about her career! With all this insight, I definitely am very interested into learning more about her 🤗
Most of the artists started their careers from Janet like Paula Abdul and Jennifer Lopez started their careers working for Janet Jackson but every single female artist you can think of cited Janet as their main influence such as Beyoncè, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Pink, Ciara, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Doja Cat, Normani etc the list just goes on and on heavily always saying how much Janet mean to their careers there wouldn't be none of them without Janet Jackson her influence and impact is so credible she is one the most decorated music acts in history and one of the few artists of the 80's who still here making history and still mainstream.
I’m so glad you made this. Janet, as many black women artists are almost erased by society with their legacy being erased as well. She has worked so hard since she was a child and is the definition of a living legend. An icon. Her discography is UNMATCHED, male or female. She deserves her flowers.
Preach it! They are trying to wipe black female artists legacy out of the mainstream and replace them with the white, Latina, and racially ambiguous looking female artists and call THEM the blueprint. Malcolm X says it best: the most disrespected, neglected, and unprotected person in America is the BLACK WOMAN! Racism and sexism shaped their decision in who they prefer as their favorite artist.
I feel like her whole career has been about being overshadowed. First by her brother, then Madonna and all the other female pop stars, and then after the super bowl it was like the nail in the coffin. I’m not saying it’s her or any of those artists’ fault but it’s a little sad
While I understand what you mean, I think her career became overshadowed after 2004. Her contributions to music were widely recognized in her prime. I think the only way she was overshadowed was because of Madonna. To be frank, Madonna was a controversial, white pop star. And while Madonna and Janet fought and advocated for very similar things, I believe Madonna was simply more recognized because she appealed to 'white America' and a broader demographic. This by no means insinuates Janet wasn't big. She was HUGE. She has put in the work and made strides for so many others. However during the 80s - and I can only speak about what I've read, Madonna was more centralized as opposed to Janet.
As someone who lived during both of these ladies prime, they were almost equally popular. Janet even being more popular during the mid to late 90s and during the RN era.
Janet is my girl, my hero and one of my personal top 2 favorite female artists of all time alongside of course Madonna. It’s crazy how Janet was blacklisted for something that wasn’t her fault, but people for a long time didn’t realize how influential Janet is to the world, her 1993 album Janet was the first album by a female artist to debut atop of the billboard 200 through the Niseln soundcan, her album the velvet rope is considered to be the pioneer to the alternative R&B genre/movement that flourished into the late 2000s and 2010s, paving the way for FTA Twings, Tinashe, The Weekend, frank ocean, Miguel and Beyoncé, her song alright featured rapper heavy D was one of the first time to feature the pop/R&B singer and rapper collaboration before it was popularized by Mariah Carey in the late 1990s. Janet has done so much for the culture and I’m glad she is now getting flowers so many legends recently have only gotten their flowers once they passed away including Janet’s own brother Michael Jackson and her close friend Whitney Houston. She’s truly the Empress of Pop and we all have no choice but to bow down Side note: I hope you do similar videos on M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj they are two of the best and most influential female rappers of the new school hip hop era but they are always discredited or overlooked for their legacies and impacts to the culture
I would love to do more videos on other women who have had impacts in the industry. In doing this video, it was crazy to realize how many iconic singers have been overlooked for their contributions to music!
@@popdissected4400 right especially black/brown women that a list for its very own, Grace Jones, Kelis, big momma Thornton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Jody watley, MC lyte, neneh Cherry, etc
@@Kevin-rg3yc Very true. It's pretty sad, because though I may not be familiar with all those artists, I'm sure they've very much had staples in influencing music!
@@popdissected4400 very much stapls sister rosetta tharpe and big momma thronton are widely considered to be the true pioneers to rock n roll music but the credits always falls on elvis presely, little richard, chuck berry and jackie wilson
Ok but why would a mistake that wasn’t even hers that involved an accidental breast slip blacklist her? I understand that obviously the Superbowl halftime show is a large stage in the US, but it was her breast...and because of her breast, she got blacklisted...like..ok?
Exactly. I attribute it towards the attitude towards the female body. It was also 2004, so attitudes were likely much more different then versus now. But it begs the question, we've had music videos before then where women would show off their bodies, so why was it an issue? It was a literal accident. I will never understand why Janet was treated so terribly.
@@popdissected4400 I agree with what you said, that discussions over sexuality are much more accepting and embracing nowadays than back then, but the way she was treated and blacklisted really bothers me because Justin did not receive that type of backlash.
I agree, the Super Bowl incident doesn't fully explain everything that has happened in the 16 years since. The success of her album Damita Jo was totally impacted by being blacklisted and not being able to promote as broadly as previous years. By the time Discipline and Unbreakable were released in 2008 and 2015 though, she was performing greatest hits medlies at awards shows and had earned a lot of public goodwill after Michael Jackson's death. I think now the problem is the music she has released. Singles like No Sleep and Made for Now just don't compare to her legendary hits and her last few albums have repeated similar themes and sounds. I think a good marketing machine could launch a great comeback album, but right now she's not evolving and making her best work.
So happy you did a legend like Janet. The Super Bowl even left her out of Coldplay’s performance montage but then say they haven’t banned her. Today her career is still standing she’s still performing and making great music. Next do Brandy she was a huge star in the 90’s and still performing today
Janet's legacy for the past few years has gotten stronger and stronger plus she has a baby boy named Eissa who is 3 a new album coming called Black Diamond I'm so proud of her.
Such a huge fan. I’m 18 and I literally only knew her from her movies and who she was. I wasn’t familiar with her music until my mom bought a complication albums of hers 2 years ago. I was confused because I was like is her music even popular. My mom and my grandmother almost had a heart attack lol. I’m recently been streaming her albums and she is one of my favorite artist.
This is a very much needed video because I’m gen z and before I joined stan twitter the only thing I knew about Janet is that she was Micheal’s sister unfortunately. But learning about her more and all that she achieved, it’s crazy how I knew none of her songs or contributions :( all bc of one incident
I was born in 1977. I am a Generation Xer. I always looked at Janet Jackson as MORE than Michael’s little sister. I always looked at them separately. I knew that she was his sister, but she created her own career without riding on her brother’s coattail.
Janet was, is and will always be a QUEEN. Her impact to pop culture is undeniable. The SB may have cut short her commercial dominance 5 years earlier but I feel that ageism is also a culprit here. The industry is unkind to women over 40, especially to women of color. But regardless, her legacy and legendary status is sealed.
Janet is like what Madonna was for black and mixed race women. She was confidently sexual. Also, she brought complicated choreography at breakneck speed to the mainstream. Everything Beyoncé, Rihanna, Tinashé, J.Lo, Ciara, etc. can getaway with today is because Janet paved the way for them.
JANET IS AMAZING. I didnt even grow up in any of those eras but I prefer her music over any of todays music. she is a legend, to name some of my favorites, nasty, rhythm nation, when I think of you, if, together again, doesn't really matter, and I LOVE that's the way love goes and all for you. it saddens me what happened to her after the super bowl, along with madonna, whitney, and Mariah she is the greatest female artist of all time. I think you should do a video of Janet's true album sales, she has been incredibly under certified and some of her albums have sold over 20 million copies worldwide (janet. is probably close to 30 million by now) I really wanna know her actual sales because she is so underrated and deserves more credit for being the icon and legend she is. great video:)
Janet was suppose to get an additional 10-15 top tens after the superbowl. The blacklisting preventef Just A Little While, I Want You,All Nite, Call On Me,Feedback, Rockwitu, No Sleeep and Made For Now going number one on Hot 100. Janet like Madonna was just one of those artists who could get a number one in her 40s and 50s. Her has youthful energy about her
Janet legacy rivals her own brother this woman is phenomenal inspired every female artist you know of they all the the foundation Janet build she's such a legend and music not complete without her excellence.
@@reinemazidath5466 True. Mj was the biggest star ever. But I do think Janet made better music than him in the 90's/early 2000's. He of course was at his best in the 70's/80's. Two different lanes.
@@wildhearts242 I dont think her music was ever near the level of a Dangerous or History in any case , now it's a matter of tastes , but in terms of rivalry she is nowhere near him in every category , talent success , influence .
@@reinemazidath5466 I think Dangerous and History were weak albums. Janet and The Velvet Rope cd's were far superior. So I agree, it does come down to taste. Mj was the biggest star so of course he left a bigger impact. But Janet is in her own lane and held it down for black female pop
@@wildhearts242 The VVR is one of the most boring shit i have ever heard , i couldnt listen to it more than 3 times . There is nothing in her 90's albums that has the SongWritting and Composition depth of a They Dont Care About Us , Stranger In Moscow , Earth Song , Will You Be There , Who Is It , Give InTo Me . The "Janet" album is the only one of her that i like ,although nothing transcendent . He has a ten fold bigger impact , talent and influence on males and females , she is clearly not in his category , but she did her thing .
As hard as they try they will never erase the blueprint that is Janet Jackson! People need to put some respect on her name that’s Miss fucking Jackson. Point blank period!
I hate that she was blackballed for something that wasn’t her fault. I remember as a kid hearing about the super bowl performance 24/7 & thinking it was not that big of deal to be discussed all year.
Her and Madonna had become extremely under appreciated. They both has possibly the greatest run in music history Janet (1986 - 2001) and Madonna (1983 - 2008). Their influence has been undermined as of lately its very irritating to witness.
Thank you for this! Can you go deeper into her discography also. Please analyze "Rhythm Nation", "janet." And, "The Velvet Rope" specifically. Thank u!
I finally checked out her discography, minus the first two albums (never heard a single song before this) and let me tell you IVE BEEN MISSING OUT !!! her music is truly 🔥🔥🔥 I love her sm and I’m becoming a huge stan
Hello. I've been a fan of your channel since the start, and i like the way how you study every topic of the video. But could you investigate the reason why shania twain's three album, especially "Come on over", succeeded and had a tremendous amount of sales? Thank you in advance
damita jo is so underrated. it would've gained more attention if it wasn't for the superbowl incident. you forgot to mention she made a visual album but still good video 👍🏽
People like to say Madonna is the Queen of Pop, and she is, but I truly believe there was 2 Queens of Pop that debuted in the 80s, Madonna and Janet. Every female pop artist that came after them drew inspiration from at least one of them, if not both. Control through All for You was Janet's commercial prime, but I truly think she could've had at least a few more hit album cycles, or at least one great hit song from a fairly praised album similar to Confessions on the Dance Floor and Hard Candy had it not been for the Superbowl and Justin fucking Timberlake throwing her under the bus. Janet was truly being erased, and she did not deserve any of that.
I agree to all of this! I've always heard, from literally everyone, Madonna invented this and that, and was a pioneer in all these things. To be frank, I only got more familiar with Janet because of so many people asking for this video - and I'm glad I did! I really discovered an artist whose legacy I didn't even know!
Janet needs to do a collab album with some of these legendary artists she's influenced, and I mean bigger and better artists than Daddy Yankee. Collaborations have helped artists like Madonna and Beyonce stay relevant and stay on the charts. I think it's interesting that Janet has not yet collaborated with young female artists like herself, which the other two frequently do. A feat with Beyonce, Rihanna, Janelle, or even Ariana or Drake would be a massive hit. Now that it's 2020 and we're in the age of social media and streaming, being blacklisted doesn't mean as much as it did in 2004. Plus she has her own MeToo stories that she talked about a lot in the 90s. Bringing it back up now would also boost her status. I think she can log a few more number ones if she wants them with the right music and promotion.
I completely agree. I think it would have been the total inverse to be honest. But when I think about it...how many problematic men in society still have careers 😑 ?
@@popdissected4400 Agreed. What’s worse is that things like this happen all the time. Take Yoko Ono for example. Makes amazing music but people generalize her for one album and blame her for things she didn’t do. But then look at Christ Brown who beat someone but still is loved and adored. How sad.
One of the biggest legends in history the industry now giving Janet accolades but what she went through cause that bastard Les Moonves thankfully he was brought to justice Janet legacy will forever be intact.
Britney Spears heavily studied Janet Jackson like no other Britney is more influence by Janet Jackson than Madonna I don't want to say she copied Janet but she really was like a replica of Janet in the early 00's I'm A Slave 4 U, Boys and Toxic was even originally suppose to been for Janet Jackson but she pass on those songs Britney videos, tours and albums she makes similar to Janet videos, tours and albums Aaliyah who is deceased and Britney but morely Britney really learned in the school of Janet Jackson.
A goddess and one of my all time favourite artists! No artist creates albums like JJ. Unbreakable was proof she still has flair and power in the studio 💖
You should talk about her album eras in one of your future videos, from Control to Damita Jo, there is so much to talk about in terms of good music and legacy from each albums
Its crazy because if that were to happen in these days, it would skyrocket someone's career. She was done dirty by everyone. Seems like there was sonething behind the scenes going on we never knew about...
That's very true. Maybe "sex" was taboo in 2004. Maybe it was the fact she was a woman. Maybe it was the fact she was a black woman. These were the common consensus I saw, but you pose and interesting idea - what if there was something else?
Honestly I felt like the reason why she wasn't able to bounce back from the nip slip is because of being a black woman. If Madonna did it, it would have been a chalked up as a shock value stunt and the backlash would have been over within a two months. We still have ppl blaming Janet to this day. I LOVE that you made this video. Even as a kid who didn't know what the songs were about, still had a great connection to her music.
Madonna has taken heat in her career. In fact, Janet judged her for erotica. Madonna support her during the nip slip that Janet never did for her. So if Madonna did this, yes it would of been easier for society to except. But Madonna as always been unapologetic where Janet has had as hard time dealing with it.
I enjoy watching these videos! I love /stan for all of my female pop stars. They're all great. I'm a little older than a few of the reviewers(album rankings or why Janet was so big) on Why Janet Jackson was so big. You have to remember that it was either her, Whitney Houston or Mary J (towards the end of the late 2000s). They were the Beyonce or "it" RnB artists for my community. Beyonce and Ciara have made no calms about copying or getting their style from Janet. Ciara's 06 albums and Beyonce's 2013 album reminds me of a direct inspiration (or really extension of these three legends in my opinion.) to Janet Jackson's style and music. To be fair, Janet and Whitney Houston really pushed boundaries on what was acceptable for behavior like Madonna. They all had their controversial moments. It seems like society has forgiven those two post-Michael Jackson's death. I remember that I couldn't wait to see the next Janet Jackson video or album that was being released. You know it was always going to be fire. Janet Jackson and Madonna did a lot of images changing in the 90s, and I was always found that to be cool and unique for both artists. Where Janet Jackson lost me at is her music- post-Super Bowl controversy. I remember being excited and looking at 106 and Park and the tv VJ's were debuting her new 2004 cd. I remember looking at that TV. Was that Janet's new single? Whose Kanye West? I was shocked it definitely was a letdown compared to the earlier albums she released. Apparently, a lot of people thought so too. I remember that a lot of people talked about that on the campus quad the next day. It was noticeable, and the music sounded so-so. Janet Jackson's music didn't sound as fresh as it used to. I remember a few years later, I saw a clip of her with Nelly. I didn't realize it was her lead single for that album. It came and I didn't see it anywhere. Madonna and Jennifer Lopez also had downturns in their career during that time, and people thought those ladies would never make a comeback. But they did! They had bigger comebacks than Janet. I honestly thought it was so weird that Janet did have some power that she used to. I became a Janet Jackson fan, again, with the single Feedback. I was completely blown away and purchased the CD! I was like, Thank Jesus, Janet Jackson released a cool new album like this!! To me, this put her back on the scene. I remember seeing the videos being actually played on MTV and BET for the first time in several years. But it seems like the Music Shows would not mention her name, or they would say-Oh yea that's Janet. I remember that the Media also began putting Madonna and Michael Jackson into the legendary status, which I thought was odd considering that Janet Jackson was looked over (08/09-This is It Movie + 4 Minutes). Considering that Janet was directly competing with them or giving them praise in interviews. The Feedback Album and tour is, in my honest opinion, what brought Janet back into the spotlight, along with starring in few big-budget movies Like Tyler Perry and Saturday Night Live. I remember thinking that it was really weird that Janet had such a downturn in her music career. But with this decade, she's had a good career with acting in a lot of projects. After Michael Jackson's death, Janet released 2009'S Make Me. I was disappointed again. And after that, I could never get into Janet's newer stuff. I always found that her music was delayed or stuck like Toni Braxrtons in that late 90s/early 200s vibe. I felt like Erykah Badu, Def Jam's Floetry, and Madonna had way more upbeat or creative music to keep my attention. They also seemed to play those ladies a lot more than Janet Jackson at around that time. I thought this was so odd? What happened! For me, Madonna won the battle as far as realizing cool new music or being able to keep a fresh music image out there. Which I would have thought would happen the other way around. But Janet's done great with her acting career and Live Concerts this decade, with a lot of publicity. I'm glad that she's back in the spotlight again. She has a great future career. It'll be interesting to see how her music fares with Urban and Pop radio audiences. All of these ladies are legends in my book.
Hi pop dissected, My mom and dad love janet jackson that's literally their childhood. Here's some more video ideas: 1. The sucess of Lemonade by Beyonce 2. Mary J. Blige debut album 411 3. Ava max video 4. Why Frank Ocean isn't bigger 5. Saweetie's music career 6. Meg Thee Stallion video btw i'm preston and i'm 15 virgo what do u think about the election??
I like her so much. Her voice is so sweet and her vídeos so amazing, this woman is ICONIC, but unfortunately life is not always fair, and what happened with Janet was really awful. She deserved better, one bad moment at superbowl almost destroyed her career like everything she had done before didn't matter anymore! She doesn't have the voice of MARIAH or Whitney, the stage presence of Britney or the pop outrageous moments of Madonna but she definitely has a beautiful voice, great performances live, and she had a strong message of power and freedom for women in her music...before Beyoncé, Britney, Rihanna and many others there was Janet...
Janet is quite literally one of the women to set the stage for so many amazing artists to follow. It truly is a shame that ONE moment led to such a horrid reaction, and blatant disregard for what she's achieved!
She has better stage presence than britney and equal with Maddona( in fact she is better now idk what is up with madonna these days but her televised performances r bad)
@@lydob2471 Britney in her prime was fabulous, she is from my generation so i like her more but Janet is an amazing performer too and Britney was inspired by her!
When listing people she influenced, Britney Spears definitely should've been mentioned. She doesn't have as much depth and artistry as Janet but she's taken from her the most, in many different ways.

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO... I'M APPALLED NO ONE HAS EVER MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY ASSAULTED AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE SHE WAS DEFINITELY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPOSURE OF HER BREASTS ON LIVE TV..!! I WONDER HOW THINGS WOULD BE IN TODAY'S WORLD OF THE "ME TOO" MOVEMENT WILL THEY STILL TREAT HER LIKE A PREDATOR OR WILL THEY FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONFESS THE OBVIOUS TRUTH OF THE SITUATION, THIS WOMAN WAS ACTUALLY THE VICTIM AND THIS WHOLE DEBACLE ON THAT DAY BUT YOU DON'T SEE ANYONE BLACK BALLING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE....HUMMMM.. I WONDER WHY.
It's so interesting to think, what if this happened today? Would it be the total opposite reaction? Would there be outrage against the man? How many men in society still have plentiful careers despite allegations or misconduct? This situation really raises a lot of theoretical questions.
If it wasn't for Janet there wouldn't be Britney Beyonce Rihanna etc she is their mother Janet is A living Legend
So true!

Janet and Britney are the best Beyoncé is great too
Ehh no Beyoncé is all Tina turner not Michael Jackson little sister
The fact that she is known as Janet Jackson and not just Michael Jackson's sister (king of pop and one of the biggest artist ever) speaks everything about her and her talent. Such a legend.

Right Justin is something else he always does a lot of shit for attention and he does so by throwing other women under the bus. He did with Janet, he did with Britney by overextraggering how they broke up and recently did his black female co star (forgot her name) for a upcoming film they did while filming later last year. That co star’s father had to call Justin out through social media
@@Kevin-rg3yc I am fully aware of how he got away scot-free with Nipplegate, and how he brought up Britney and the breakup every chance he had, but that last one is news to me.
Janet has been revered recently. For the last couple of years, she was honored with the Billboard Music Icon Award, Radio Disney Music Impact Award, and was finally inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame a year and a half ago. Unfortunately due to the obvious sexism and racism in the entertainment industry and society in general, Janet was demonized for over 14 years and her record sales were never the same. While Justin Timberfuck not only didn't receive any consequences for his actions, he was in fact rewarded for it. After he had the audacity to throw her under the bus, I was no longer a fan of his after that and never will be again. Janet's legacy will never be denied. 3 of her studio albums are on Rolling Stone's updated 500 Greatest Albums Of All-Time list. Control is the highest ranked Janet album at #111, The Velvet Rope at #318, and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 at #339.
Her legacy stands strong. It is there, and nothing a man did to her will take away from that. It's truly a shame what happened, and she took the blame for it, personally - and by the media. It's so sick.
Meanwhile JT is losing relevancy and what legacy does he have. Karma is a bish
@@ShweMyaukMyauk I wish it happened sooner. JT always gave me the creeps, on top of the Janet thing, I will never forget the rumor that he was bragging about smashing Britney and taking her virginity. He has no respect for women or people of color.
The funny thing is his album Man Of The Woods sold only 422,000 copies compared to his older albums that sold 1,137,000. His singles like Filthy, & Say Something were the only singles who charted and only at #9 and has no US Certification. His Super Bowl performance was ridiculed, and told to be the most boring Super Bowl in history.
Karmas a bitch !
She’s so underappreciated in this generation. Please do Madonna next. Keep the content.

Madonna and Janet are the best I love them both 👑🖤
If Usher had torn Madonna’s clothes off at the Super Bowl, HE would have been cancelled immediately and Madonna would have been seen as a victim ☕️😒
Yup. 😕
nah they’d crucify madonna as well, they vilified her for everything since the sex book tbh, even today 30 years later people still ask madonna if she regrets doing that stuff and it’s always a resounding NO which i really respect from her
Period
You have to study Madonna's career Madonna's uncanceled no one can cancel Madonna that's just not possible you could try but it's just not going to happen
People need to stop comparing Janet Jackson to Madonna. It's just not right, Madonna is far more superior as an artist. She will always be, she has remained Janet has gone away... Let me tell you something, itt has nothing to do with art. If the same incident happened to Madonna. I promise you she would have continued. Madonna is like the Popstar version of Margaret Thatcher 😆 She is way too tough Janet Jackson is just not 😆 it's the reason why Madonna spoke not Janet when Michael died. She's the only artist that's anywhere near close to his success...
The ACTUAL Blueprint for our faves. From albums, choreo, style and the MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR DEALS
Exactly!
Madonna had a massive deal a year before Janet got hers.
I'd say Britney has the most obvious influence of Janet from her music, voice, dance breakdowns, and performances. I feel like Britney and Janet has more in common with each other than Britney does with Madonna.
Interesting observation! I had never noticed that until you pointed it out!
Britney would agree with you.
She’s so underrated these days. Her streaming numbers and video views are shockingly low for such an icon! The new generation doesn’t understand the impact this woman has had on the music industry!
Agree 😕
Which generation cause I grew up on her cds
Streaming numbers for legacy acts are weird. A lot of times they seem off, but I agree, 4-5 million monthly Spotify listeners for Janet Jackson is SHOCKINGLY “low” compared to another veteran act from 80’s like Cyndi Lauper (13 million!) who had no where near as many hit singles.
@@duane_313cyndi lauper has that many monthly listeners mainly because of girls just wanna have fun. Janet doesn’t have a hit single as recognisable as that
Aaliyah, Britney, Ciara, Cassie, Tinashe, Normani and etc all these girls who sing/dance were inspired by the queen.
Yess!

SHE IS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED in my generation!!! I am 20 years old so I was not alive for a lot of her early albums and I don’t remember much of her growing up but I revisited her work a few years ago and I’ve been a massive fan since. Also had the pleasure of seeing her November last year and she’s an amazing performer. At 53 years old she can still outperform any of today’s pop girls. Love love love Janet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesss!! She's definitely one of the artists I wish I grew up with. I was born in 1999, and discovering older music makes me wish so bad I got to experience those moments in real time!
Same. And I just turned 20 a week or two ago 💯
It kills me- but it's horrible that this happened. Her and Madonna were neck and neck-a lot of the younger folks do not realize this lol!
Janet is one artist I'm really sensitive about my entire family loves her we fight over who's the biggest Janet fan so I go in when people try to drag her y'all don't understand SHE IS Y'ALL FAVES BLUEPRINT don't EVER play with her like that
She is literally the blueprint for so many amazing artists! It's not overstated to say she's inspired dozens, likely hundreds of modern artists!

britney is janet’s baby and i don’t feel like enough people talk about that
!!!
True I feel one of the other major reasons why Janet isn’t given enough credits is bc it seems a lot of times the media will like to regulate artists’s legacies to a certain group of new school artists based of their genre and especially their race. They do that with both Janet and Madonna with Janet they like to make it seem it’s only black R&B artists are inspired by her but that’s not true. It was said that Britney was scheduled to be part of the MTV icon special for Janet back in 2002 but her team had her back out bc they wanted to market her as the next Madonna.
Half of Britney’s Britney’s LP featured leftover Janet tracks, most notably I’m a Slave 4 U. Same with Justin getting Michael’s leftovers for Justified
@@antoniobrooks1113 The only “Janet leftovers” off of the Britney album were boys and I’m a slave 4 u as well as toxic from in the zone which was also offered to Kylie Minogue. Justified on the other hand according to Pharrell was made for songs that were specifically to remade the sound of MJ’s off the wall and thriller while rock my body was offered to MJ
They don’t. They compared Britney to Madonna which doesn’t make sense except they’re blonde white women. Britney is a baby Janet Jackson
the velvet rope is one of the most influential albums of all time
Period.
Absolutely, very innovative groundbreaking record. I love that album . It literally takes you on a journey from beginning to end .
The fact that Janet is known to as Janet Jackson and not (Michael Jackson’s little sister) just goes to show that she didn’t need MJ help to help her become an icon
Yesss, spot on!
Janet and cyndi lauper are some of the most underrated legends
FACTS!
Cyndi more so.
@@timmy841212 fr she’s so talented can’t believe she only had one truly successful album
@@hugo6390 I mean her True Colors album went platinum but yeah she really began struggling afterwards, it's nuts.
For years I tried to dive myself into Beyoncé’s creative work and get all the praise she receives but I always felt sort of a emptiness o a “something is missing” factor until I found Janet. The way she built up her career as you said from Control to the, THE Rhythm Nation 1814, get rid of the Jackson last name, delivering her self titled album and signing up for the most expensive record deal surpassing Madonna an Michael, that literally destroyed my jaw. I personally thank The Velvet Rope bc I have never found an album I could relate to in the way I did with it and the fact that I came true to myself and realize I needed help (therapy). I owe her and this album so much because of Velvet Rope, the album that saw alternative r&b born. Ugh I love her so much, thanks for the video.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing how Janet's music impacted you, that's powerful. You're so strong!
She didn't deserve all that blacklash from that incident, it's such a shame, she's a legend already but i think people will not apreciate her enough
Yeah 😔
Both Janet and Madonna are the soundtrack to my life. I’ve grown up listening to both of them. Legends.
Both icons!
Janet is iconic. Put respect to her name. I’m glad she’s finally getting her flowers now
👑 Period!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Janet is seriously one of the most underrated legends. Janet is not to be played with. Janet has 10 number 1 singles, 27 top 10 hits. Janet has the biggest selling debut tour in history, Janet’s albums are all classics. Janet has the longest running number 1 by any Jackson family member, including Michael. On billboards list of there 100 artists, Janet ranked 7, Michael ranked 8th. Off rhythm nation alone, Janet became the only artist in history to have 7 top 5 singles off one album. 4 being number one. Janet also is the only artist to have number 1s from one album in three separate calendar years. Janet’s Janet. Has sold 20 million worldwide and the same with Rhythm Nation 1814. Janet was the highest paid performer in the world, twice, beating out MJ and Madonna. Not to mention Janet was named the second most successful artist of the 90s, right after Miz Mariah Carey. Janet’s dancing and singing will go down in history. Janet never used her family for fame, in fact in the 90s especially it can be argued her family used HER name to stay afloat. Janet is the blueprint. Janet doesn’t seem to get her flowers because of internalized racism in the industry. The ceo of CBS (Les Moonves) was obsessed with ruining her career after the incident (Super Bowl) because she wasn’t “sincere enough.” Seriously look it up yall. Not to mention the velvet rope is still one of the most influential and important albums ever and is a precursor and helped shaped alternative R&B. I could go on and on about Janet’s impact, beauty, accolades, but you get my point. I stand up for Janet more than any artists because she has been done so wrong. Thank you again for this video
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - and WOW! I love how passionate you are about her career! With all this insight, I definitely am very interested into learning more about her 🤗
Most of the artists started their careers from Janet like Paula Abdul and Jennifer Lopez started their careers working for Janet Jackson but every single female artist you can think of cited Janet as their main influence such as Beyoncè, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Pink, Ciara, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Doja Cat, Normani etc the list just goes on and on heavily always saying how much Janet mean to their careers there wouldn't be none of them without Janet Jackson her influence and impact is so credible she is one the most decorated music acts in history and one of the few artists of the 80's who still here making history and still mainstream.
I’m so glad you made this. Janet, as many black women artists are almost erased by society with their legacy being erased as well. She has worked so hard since she was a child and is the definition of a living legend. An icon. Her discography is UNMATCHED, male or female. She deserves her flowers.
I agree 💯💯 she literally has one of the best discography ever.
Preach it! They are trying to wipe black female artists legacy out of the mainstream and replace them with the white, Latina, and racially ambiguous looking female artists and call THEM the blueprint. Malcolm X says it best: the most disrespected, neglected, and unprotected person in America is the BLACK WOMAN! Racism and sexism shaped their decision in who they prefer as their favorite artist.
Empress of Pop! People need to put some respect on her name! 👑
She most definitely is! In various articles I read, EVERYONE called her that!
😘👑👑👑🌟
I feel like her whole career has been about being overshadowed. First by her brother, then Madonna and all the other female pop stars, and then after the super bowl it was like the nail in the coffin. I’m not saying it’s her or any of those artists’ fault but it’s a little sad
Overshadowed????? Are we talking about The Janet?
You're young...this lady was BEYONCE in her day
While I understand what you mean, I think her career became overshadowed after 2004. Her contributions to music were widely recognized in her prime. I think the only way she was overshadowed was because of Madonna. To be frank, Madonna was a controversial, white pop star. And while Madonna and Janet fought and advocated for very similar things, I believe Madonna was simply more recognized because she appealed to 'white America' and a broader demographic. This by no means insinuates Janet wasn't big. She was HUGE. She has put in the work and made strides for so many others. However during the 80s - and I can only speak about what I've read, Madonna was more centralized as opposed to Janet.
I don’t think Janet was overshadowed by Madonna .. they both were equally popular in the 80s/90s ...
As someone who lived during both of these ladies prime, they were almost equally popular. Janet even being more popular during the mid to late 90s and during the RN era.
Janet is my girl, my hero and one of my personal top 2 favorite female artists of all time alongside of course Madonna. It’s crazy how Janet was blacklisted for something that wasn’t her fault, but people for a long time didn’t realize how influential Janet is to the world, her 1993 album Janet was the first album by a female artist to debut atop of the billboard 200 through the Niseln soundcan, her album the velvet rope is considered to be the pioneer to the alternative R&B genre/movement that flourished into the late 2000s and 2010s, paving the way for FTA Twings, Tinashe, The Weekend, frank ocean, Miguel and Beyoncé, her song alright featured rapper heavy D was one of the first time to feature the pop/R&B singer and rapper collaboration before it was popularized by Mariah Carey in the late 1990s. Janet has done so much for the culture and I’m glad she is now getting flowers so many legends recently have only gotten their flowers once they passed away including Janet’s own brother Michael Jackson and her close friend Whitney Houston. She’s truly the Empress of Pop and we all have no choice but to bow down
Side note: I hope you do similar videos on M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj they are two of the best and most influential female rappers of the new school hip hop era but they are always discredited or overlooked for their legacies and impacts to the culture
😘😘😘😘
I would love to do more videos on other women who have had impacts in the industry. In doing this video, it was crazy to realize how many iconic singers have been overlooked for their contributions to music!

Yess!
Ok but why would a mistake that wasn’t even hers that involved an accidental breast slip blacklist her? I understand that obviously the Superbowl halftime show is a large stage in the US, but it was her breast...and because of her breast, she got blacklisted...like..ok?
Exactly. I attribute it towards the attitude towards the female body. It was also 2004, so attitudes were likely much more different then versus now. But it begs the question, we've had music videos before then where women would show off their bodies, so why was it an issue? It was a literal accident. I will never understand why Janet was treated so terribly.
@@popdissected4400 I agree with what you said, that discussions over sexuality are much more accepting and embracing nowadays than back then, but the way she was treated and blacklisted really bothers me because Justin did not receive that type of backlash.
I think with MJ’s trial going on at the time the media was looking for any reason to crucify the Jackson family
@@popdissected4400 it was a family show and she's a woman... A black one at that
I agree, the Super Bowl incident doesn't fully explain everything that has happened in the 16 years since. The success of her album Damita Jo was totally impacted by being blacklisted and not being able to promote as broadly as previous years. By the time Discipline and Unbreakable were released in 2008 and 2015 though, she was performing greatest hits medlies at awards shows and had earned a lot of public goodwill after Michael Jackson's death. I think now the problem is the music she has released. Singles like No Sleep and Made for Now just don't compare to her legendary hits and her last few albums have repeated similar themes and sounds. I think a good marketing machine could launch a great comeback album, but right now she's not evolving and making her best work.
So happy you did a legend like Janet. The Super Bowl even left her out of Coldplay’s performance montage but then say they haven’t banned her. Today her career is still standing she’s still performing and making great music. Next do Brandy she was a huge star in the 90’s and still performing today
Ooh yes! I know of Brandy, but not much about her so I'm sure that would be a super fun video to make!
Janet Jackson is an ICON Period!!!
Janet's legacy for the past few years has gotten stronger and stronger plus she has a baby boy named Eissa who is 3 a new album coming called Black Diamond I'm so proud of her.
Such a huge fan. I’m 18 and I literally only knew her from her movies and who she was. I wasn’t familiar with her music until my mom bought a complication albums of hers 2 years ago. I was confused because I was like is her music even popular. My mom and my grandmother almost had a heart attack lol. I’m recently been streaming her albums and she is one of my favorite artist.
Hahaha, what a great story 😂 ! I'm so glad you like her music now!
Me too😂😂😂😭😘
Unbreakable was and still is a masterpiece
Truly 👏
This is a very much needed video because I’m gen z and before I joined stan twitter the only thing I knew about Janet is that she was Micheal’s sister unfortunately. But learning about her more and all that she achieved, it’s crazy how I knew none of her songs or contributions :( all bc of one incident
I know! To be honest, I LEARNED she was Michael's sister when I looked her up! I literally had no idea they were related, but maybe that's just me 😂 !
I was born in 1977. I am a Generation Xer. I always looked at Janet Jackson as MORE than Michael’s little sister.
I always looked at them separately. I knew that she was his sister, but she created her own career without riding on her brother’s coattail.
I am such a fan. She definitely deserves her place in music history!!
I totally agree!
Janet was, is and will always be a QUEEN. Her impact to pop culture is undeniable. The SB may have cut short her commercial dominance 5 years earlier but I feel that ageism is also a culprit here. The industry is unkind to women over 40, especially to women of color. But regardless, her legacy and legendary status is sealed.
Very true! I didn't even think about ageism. This is very true for women in the industry, and it's pretty sad.
True I think the biggest lost is that she still should’ve been a touring force
Janet is the EMPRESS of Pop
I'm so happy you produced this video, Janet is truly a legend that can't be defined!
I'm glad you enjoyed! And that's so true!
Janet is like what Madonna was for black and mixed race women. She was confidently sexual. Also, she brought complicated choreography at breakneck speed to the mainstream. Everything Beyoncé, Rihanna, Tinashé, J.Lo, Ciara, etc. can getaway with today is because Janet paved the way for them.
Within 2 hours, you manage to reply to the whole comment section

JANET IS AMAZING. I didnt even grow up in any of those eras but I prefer her music over any of todays music. she is a legend, to name some of my favorites, nasty, rhythm nation, when I think of you, if, together again, doesn't really matter, and I LOVE that's the way love goes and all for you. it saddens me what happened to her after the super bowl, along with madonna, whitney, and Mariah she is the greatest female artist of all time. I think you should do a video of Janet's true album sales, she has been incredibly under certified and some of her albums have sold over 20 million copies worldwide (janet. is probably close to 30 million by now) I really wanna know her actual sales because she is so underrated and deserves more credit for being the icon and legend she is. great video:)
Thank you so much for this video, Janet deserves so much more respect, love, and recognition as the legend she is.

Janet was suppose to get an additional 10-15 top tens after the superbowl. The blacklisting preventef Just A Little While, I Want You,All Nite, Call On Me,Feedback, Rockwitu, No Sleeep and Made For Now going number one on Hot 100.

@@reinemazidath5466 True. Mj was the biggest star ever. But I do think Janet made better music than him in the 90's/early 2000's. He of course was at his best in the 70's/80's. Two different lanes.

@@wildhearts242 The VVR is one of the most boring shit i have ever heard , i couldnt listen to it more than 3 times .

He has a ten fold bigger impact , talent and influence on males and females , she is clearly not in his category , but she did her thing .

It's crazy because being I was only 14 in 2004, all of MY favorite Janet songs are from afterward, her music was still great
I hate that she was blackballed for something that wasn’t her fault. I remember as a kid hearing about the super bowl performance 24/7 & thinking it was not that big of deal to be discussed all year.
It's just so...shocking. I can only imagine being old enough during that time and hearing what people said about her.
@@popdissected4400 it was just on every magazine cover and every talk show was discussing including Oprah & the view
Her and Madonna had become extremely under appreciated. They both has possibly the greatest run in music history Janet (1986 - 2001) and Madonna (1983 - 2008). Their influence has been undermined as of lately its very irritating to witness.

People like to say Madonna is the Queen of Pop, and she is, but I truly believe there was 2 Queens of Pop that debuted in the 80s, Madonna and Janet. Every female pop artist that came after them drew inspiration from at least one of them, if not both. Control through All for You was Janet's commercial prime, but I truly think she could've had at least a few more hit album cycles, or at least one great hit song from a fairly praised album similar to Confessions on the Dance Floor and Hard Candy had it not been for the Superbowl and Justin fucking Timberlake throwing her under the bus. Janet was truly being erased, and she did not deserve any of that.
I agree to all of this! I've always heard, from literally everyone, Madonna invented this and that, and was a pioneer in all these things. To be frank, I only got more familiar with Janet because of so many people asking for this video - and I'm glad I did! I really discovered an artist whose legacy I didn't even know!
my favorite in the industry.
Such a queen!
Janet needs to do a collab album with some of these legendary artists she's influenced, and I mean bigger and better artists than Daddy Yankee. Collaborations have helped artists like Madonna and Beyonce stay relevant and stay on the charts. I think it's interesting that Janet has not yet collaborated with young female artists like herself, which the other two frequently do. A feat with Beyonce, Rihanna, Janelle, or even Ariana or Drake would be a massive hit. Now that it's 2020 and we're in the age of social media and streaming, being blacklisted doesn't mean as much as it did in 2004. Plus she has her own MeToo stories that she talked about a lot in the 90s. Bringing it back up now would also boost her status. I think she can log a few more number ones if she wants them with the right music and promotion.
This is a really great idea, I think you're right on target with this! I'd love to see Janet do a collab with a younger artist.
If that super bowl incident happened today, it would've been a totally different outcome.
I completely agree. I think it would have been the total inverse to be honest. But when I think about it...how many problematic men in society still have careers 😑 ?

You should talk about her album eras in one of your future videos, from Control to Damita Jo, there is so much to talk about in terms of good music and legacy from each albums
JUSTICE FOR JANET!!!!
YES!!!!
Amazing! Can you do one on the king of pop?!
Yess! I'd love to!
thank you for doing this. Janet is the truth. I know people love Madonna, but for me, it's has always been Janet.
I hope you enjoyed! And yes, I'm so glad I got to learn about Janet and realize she is so important to music, just as much as Madonna.
she's the most underrated and disrespect legend
Its crazy because if that were to happen in these days, it would skyrocket someone's career. She was done dirty by everyone. Seems like there was sonething behind the scenes going on we never knew about...
That's very true. Maybe "sex" was taboo in 2004. Maybe it was the fact she was a woman. Maybe it was the fact she was a black woman. These were the common consensus I saw, but you pose and interesting idea - what if there was something else?
JANET JACKSON speak her name
Janet is a legend!!
Honestly I felt like the reason why she wasn't able to bounce back from the nip slip is because of being a black woman. If Madonna did it, it would have been a chalked up as a shock value stunt and the backlash would have been over within a two months. We still have ppl blaming Janet to this day. I LOVE that you made this video. Even as a kid who didn't know what the songs were about, still had a great connection to her music.
I honestly agree. There's a divide. Madonna has gotten away with a LOT that many other women would have been ended for, especially women of color.
Madonna has taken heat in her career. In fact, Janet judged her for erotica. Madonna support her during the nip slip that Janet never did for her. So if Madonna did this, yes it would of been easier for society to except. But Madonna as always been unapologetic where Janet has had as hard time dealing with it.
I enjoy watching these videos! I love /stan for all of my female pop stars. They're all great.
I'm a little older than a few of the reviewers(album rankings or why Janet was so big) on Why Janet Jackson was so big. You have to remember that it was either her, Whitney Houston or Mary J (towards the end of the late 2000s). They were the Beyonce or "it" RnB artists for my community. Beyonce and Ciara have made no calms about copying or getting their style from Janet. Ciara's 06 albums and Beyonce's 2013 album reminds me of a direct inspiration (or really extension of these three legends in my opinion.) to Janet Jackson's style and music.
To be fair, Janet and Whitney Houston really pushed boundaries on what was acceptable for behavior like Madonna. They all had their controversial moments. It seems like society has forgiven those two post-Michael Jackson's death.
I remember that I couldn't wait to see the next Janet Jackson video or album that was being released. You know it was always going to be fire. Janet Jackson and Madonna did a lot of images changing in the 90s, and I was always found that to be cool and unique for both artists.
Where Janet Jackson lost me at is her music- post-Super Bowl controversy. I remember being excited and looking at 106 and Park and the tv VJ's were debuting her new 2004 cd. I remember looking at that TV. Was that Janet's new single? Whose Kanye West? I was shocked it definitely was a letdown compared to the earlier albums she released. Apparently, a lot of people thought so too. I remember that a lot of people talked about that on the campus quad the next day. It was noticeable, and the music sounded so-so. Janet Jackson's music didn't sound as fresh as it used to. I remember a few years later, I saw a clip of her with Nelly. I didn't realize it was her lead single for that album. It came and I didn't see it anywhere.
Madonna and Jennifer Lopez also had downturns in their career during that time, and people thought those ladies would never make a comeback. But they did! They had bigger comebacks than Janet. I honestly thought it was so weird that Janet did have some power that she used to. I became a Janet Jackson fan, again, with the single Feedback. I was completely blown away and purchased the CD! I was like, Thank Jesus, Janet Jackson released a cool new album like this!!
To me, this put her back on the scene. I remember seeing the videos being actually played on MTV and BET for the first time in several years. But it seems like the Music Shows would not mention her name, or they would say-Oh yea that's Janet. I remember that the Media also began putting Madonna and Michael Jackson into the legendary status, which I thought was odd considering that Janet Jackson was looked over (08/09-This is It Movie + 4 Minutes). Considering that Janet was directly competing with them or giving them praise in interviews.
The Feedback Album and tour is, in my honest opinion, what brought Janet back into the spotlight, along with starring in few big-budget movies Like Tyler Perry and Saturday Night Live. I remember thinking that it was really weird that Janet had such a downturn in her music career. But with this decade, she's had a good career with acting in a lot of projects. After Michael Jackson's death, Janet released 2009'S Make Me. I was disappointed again. And after that, I could never get into Janet's newer stuff.
I always found that her music was delayed or stuck like Toni Braxrtons in that late 90s/early 200s vibe. I felt like Erykah Badu, Def Jam's Floetry, and Madonna had way more upbeat or creative music to keep my attention. They also seemed to play those ladies a lot more than Janet Jackson at around that time. I thought this was so odd? What happened!
For me, Madonna won the battle as far as realizing cool new music or being able to keep a fresh music image out there. Which I would have thought would happen the other way around. But Janet's done great with her acting career and Live Concerts this decade, with a lot of publicity. I'm glad that she's back in the spotlight again. She has a great future career. It'll be interesting to see how her music fares with Urban and Pop radio audiences. All of these ladies are legends in my book.
In not even a Janet "fan", but even I know she's an absolute LEGEND
Janet is actually my favorite female singer of all time. I adore her music
She’s the true blueprint of pop and R&B!
Yes she is.

Yes! Give Janet her due❤❤❤
Of course!!
@@popdissected4400 great video!!
Great content
Thank you, I hope you enjoyed!
I like her so much. Her voice is so sweet and her vídeos so amazing, this woman is ICONIC, but unfortunately life is not always fair, and what happened with Janet was really awful. She deserved better, one bad moment at superbowl almost destroyed her career like everything she had done before didn't matter anymore! She doesn't have the voice of MARIAH or Whitney, the stage presence of Britney or the pop outrageous moments of Madonna but she definitely has a beautiful voice, great performances live, and she had a strong message of power and freedom for women in her music...before Beyoncé, Britney, Rihanna and many others there was Janet...
Janet is quite literally one of the women to set the stage for so many amazing artists to follow. It truly is a shame that ONE moment led to such a horrid reaction, and blatant disregard for what she's achieved!
@@popdissected4400 i completely agree with you!
She has better stage presence than britney and equal with Maddona( in fact she is better now idk what is up with madonna these days but her televised performances r bad)
@@lydob2471 Britney in her prime was fabulous, she is from my generation so i like her more but Janet is an amazing performer too and Britney was inspired by her!
@@dinasilva9263 ok, I prefer janet and I'm 16
She. Is. A. LEGEND!!!!
When listing people she influenced, Britney Spears definitely should've been mentioned. She doesn't have as much depth and artistry as Janet but she's taken from her the most, in many different ways.
Janet and MJ set the Highest Bar for Dance and Videos and she had the Best Producers Ever Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

YEEESS! 🔥 👏
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO...
I'M APPALLED NO ONE HAS EVER MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY ASSAULTED AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE SHE WAS DEFINITELY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPOSURE OF HER BREASTS ON LIVE TV..!!
I WONDER HOW THINGS WOULD BE IN TODAY'S WORLD OF THE "ME TOO" MOVEMENT WILL THEY STILL TREAT HER LIKE A PREDATOR OR WILL THEY FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONFESS THE OBVIOUS TRUTH OF THE SITUATION, THIS WOMAN WAS ACTUALLY THE VICTIM AND THIS WHOLE DEBACLE ON THAT DAY BUT YOU DON'T SEE ANYONE BLACK BALLING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE....HUMMMM..
I WONDER WHY.
It's so interesting to think, what if this happened today? Would it be the total opposite reaction? Would there be outrage against the man? How many men in society still have plentiful careers despite allegations or misconduct? This situation really raises a lot of theoretical questions.
