Its really messed yo that Janet was blackballed but Justin just seemed to rise from there. The worst part was that Justin never bothered to stick up for Janet when you know they planned that *together* .
While I am on your side on this (even though I like JT), there is no proof that he was in on it. Neither one should have really had that much backlash over that since some socialites have made their career with sex tapes.

Anubhab Dutta relax, not everyone in America is that way. You have to also remember this happened YEARS AGO and times were different back then. If that had happened to her today she wouldn’t have gotten the same reaction.
Even in 1958, 60 years ago, you can so clearly tell she was shockingly young. Smacking bubblegum, putting handheld objects up to her mouth, not looking any adult around her in the eye... Its a very peculiar feeling seeing that kind of body language happened even way back then.
Well the other Sophia one not looking in the adult in the Eye there are children I do look at Alton I in those people adults I don’t like other people now like I’m one of them I want those people that cannot look people die because I feel funny so that one don’t know what makes much sense to me but I guess back then I did a 1958 I guess
I agree,at least they had energy and put on a performance when on stage. Not like some of the lifeless people today. Lip sync or not,an entertaining presence and energy can't be pre recorded.
@nasni koledin , she does not sing live during those tours or any tours.

What’s sad is, in all likelihood he didn’t DO anything just didn’t occur to him to hide from the American public that their children had figured out how to get along with each other despite their racial back ground And as far as the one person who brought up Ms O’Connor , her mistake was making a grand dramatic gesture without any explanation to what the gesture meant. Especially when you consider that the image she tore up was a particular Pope who had some high personal prestige beyond his high office. This is after the Pope that once threaten the Soviet Union that he would resign and return to Russian occupied Poland as a simple parish Priest. At the time people were more aware of that then they were aware about how deep the corruption and abuse of the church was .

I was watching SNL the night Sinead O'Connor ripped the photo.....I remember thinking "Hmm...that's gonna hurt her career" and it's one of the few times in life that I've been right.
To be honest, in my case, I think it was just stupid, asides religion, because it wasn't about religion, it was about the controversy around a religious group and she didn't do it because her ideologies (and of course she said that it was what "she believes it was right", it could have been worse for her saying "I thought they were gonna like it", at least she ends up as a martyr for her fans), she wanted to cash with the message, she did it because she was on the top, she wanted to come with a modern message... I can imagine her staff thinking "this is gonna be awesome, a deep, smart and selfless messagge, everyone is gonna love it" and it destroys her career just like Kathy Griffin with Trump's head some time ago... Although Mrs Griffin wasn't on the top... It doesn't matter if some people hates them, is just stupid to do something like that... Because they represent more than what their... Mmmh... In the absence of a better word "Haters" thinks they are...
I saw Sinead tear the Poop's picture live that night in '92. I already was a fan, but I loved her more for her courage to call out the Catholic church for what is now common knowledge. And a few nights later, she doubled down and stood her ground in front of a huge live crowd. Good on you Sinead!
I thought she tore up the Pope pic because of the church's stand on abortion. Prolife should not be controversial. Maybe she changed the reason she claimed to do it because everyone agrees that child abuse is horrific. She should have separated her activism and music career. I understand her to have emotional problems now and to be self destructive. Maybe she always was.
@@nelsonx5326 She did it, apparently, because of how many individuals claimed to have been abused/molested by Catholic priests. My Dad used to be a pastor, and he left the church for that reason, too. They were just too hypocritical for him. 😢
I find it strange how this cancel culture works. Why is it that some people like Ashlee get cancelled on minor things but some artists who are still going strong have done terrible things? It amazes me.
In that Era there were talented musicians. Ashley was suspect from the jump. Much like Aaron Carter etc.. talentless industry plant.. the snl show just exposed her at a vulnerable time. She had no business being famous and stealing the spotlight from other aspiring up and coming artists. Unfortunately the music industry is nothing but Ashley Simpsons now.. ie Billy Elisha etc.. why it's trash now
Because cancel culture doesn’t exist. Ashlee was always untalented, and rode on the coattails of her more famous sister. Plus, Saturday Night Live is called LIVE for a reason. Furthermore, in the past she derided others for lip syncing saying she would never do that. Well, lo and behold. And her doing that stupid dance and then leaving the stage was extremely unprofessional. I am so sick and tired of people being like “this wouldn’t have been a big deal today.” Yes, it would have. This would have been a terrible performance today as well. She just unraveled everything in one fell swoop.
Milli vanilli wasn't live on mtv when the backing track skipped. It was called the club mtv tour and it happened at lake compounce in Bristol Connecticut.
I watched the Sinead episode live that night. I remember when she tore it up, the strange thing was it was totally silent. You could tell the live audience didn't know what to expect or what exactly happened or how to react. I guess they didn't show the applause lights for that reason either. So it was just silence afterward. That was back before the internet, and most people didn't see it live and it took days for talk of what happened to spread around. It was the final song at the very end of the show, and that's also by the time a lot of people have stopped watching because it just ends so late at night. I then saw that in a rerun not too many years later and they cut that out. Anyway, it was cool I saw it live and knew that it was unscripted and was going to be a big deal.
I remember that episode. I didn’t realize she was doing in protest to the sexual immorality that was going on the Catholic Church. I see her in a whole different light now.
It was absolutely planned. Reporters from the Houston Chronicle tracked down the costume shop that made the alterations to the bustier and the shop that sold the nipple shield jewelry. But at least they had not planned things too far in advance, Jackson a Timberlake were in Houston only for a week before the game.
I think the issue everyone has was the fact that they both had a part in it and she took the brunt of the blame because she owned up to it and apologized first
I believe it was planned. The nipple cover proof it. No woman wear those 24/7 just because they're pretty, one would only used them to intentionally showed them. But I think it's unfair that only Janet got the backlashes while Justin roams free. But maybe that's because the dude really got talent whilst Janet not so much...just some synchronized dancing?
James Vernon in the uk he stayed popular yes, but his rep suffered a lot more in the US. I dont think he ever had another Top 40 single there the rest of his life.
His popularity didn't fade in the US because of homophobia. It faded because he built his career appealing to young women. Once he was "off the market" for the ladies he fizzled the same as Ricky Martin. By contrast, Rob Halford and Freddie Mercury suffered no setbacks from coming out.
Markle2k Yes. Actually, when I worked in radio, all the stations had a Read n Sign about Payola and Plugola. You’d have to sign a form showing that you understand what Payola and Plugola are and that you understand the consequences. 👍🏻
Yeah, I have nothing against Justin Timberlake, but Janet Jackson was treated VERY unfairly by comparison. I think the fault lies with both of them and Janet should not have had to take the brunt of the ire. Besides, it was just a nipple for God's sake, not a big deal. People need to stop making something out of nothing.
It's because it was the Superbowl where you have a couple million children watching it. But I agree with you on the point that it's reprehensible what they did to her and not Timberlake

@Joe Mamma Yeah, she had some catchy tunes for awhile. At some point she started selling records through her sexuality. You know when that happens the end is near. The "malfunction" was just another attempt to get noticed by a audience that had and has turned away. I guess her 2019 tour has turned into an act in Vegas.
The problem wasn't so much that Americans are kind of prudish when it comes to sex on TV, but this incident happened during the Super Bowl halftime show, an event that is watched by millions of families with young children. Justin Timberlake went too far by ripping open Janet Jackson's corset. He, not her, should have taken the brunt of the fallout. Way to punish the victim! That being said, I never really cared much for Janet Jackson's music, she has a thin, nasaly voice, but she does have great stage presence and is a decent dancer/choreographer. She was riding high on the tail of her famous brother MJ for a while.
Cory Thompson - 22 Grammy nominations, 13 wins. 4 AMA awards, 10 CMA, 8 ACM. 2 x Diamond, 32x Platinum and a whole lot of other awards, nominations, and album sales, but yeah I guess your right they need a career first.
Thank you for posting this. Very informative. Certainly, three of them (Alan Freed, Sinead O'Connor, and I have to admit, George Michael) were at least a decade before their time.
@Jimo I would but I'm sorry , I'm a bit confused as to why you are saying that. I have not heard all of Katy Perry's songs. Katy can afford to raise her child as a single mother.
@Jimo Now I understand a bit more about this conversation, I'll add what about widow/ mothers who's father of their child died, abandoned mothers, mother's who left abusive partners? Life is not perfect.
@Jimo Serial breeders do not think of the children. I know someone who's partner was very charming and appeared to be genuine but refused to take precautions got her pregnant continuously and got abusive because they only had girls. He left her because of that and started hitting the next woman because of having more girls.
I'm not convinced the Super Bowl halftime thing "destroyed" Janet Jackson's career, per se. Her next few albums - the certified-platinum 20 Y.O., followed by Discipline and Unbreakable - hit 2, 1 and 1 on the U.S. chart. Granted, her singles success dwindled after the wardrobe malfunction, but that's probably because radio airplay figures into the Hot 100 (as opposed to the albums chart, which is strictly sales-based). Meanwhile, Janet continued to appear in movies and still had a successful string of tours. It was unlikely that her career would ever return to the Control/Rhythm Nation levels, and that incident certainly did not help the cause, but Janet didn't fall off the face of the earth in the same way others on this list seemed to.
Yeah, as much as I think it's bullshit that she's the one who suffered for it while Timberlake went unscathed, I dont know if that is what hurt her career. If I recall, she was kinda on the downswing careerwise anyway.
@@wickedspank Agree. And, for that matter, it's not so much that Timberlake got away with anything as much as he was just a megastar still on the upswing.
I never realized how much of a lemming I was to judge Sinaed O'connor over that SNL incident. Now, with this new perspective, I have learned that she was in the right, and almost the entire world, including me, were in the wrong. I feel so ashamed for the opinion I held of her since. Sinaed O'connor, you are a brave, and noble person, for compromising your own image, in order to bring light to an injustice, which everyone else was oblivious to. I am a returning fan of Sinaed O'connor. Rock on.
I'm not one to say "I told you so" because I knew that she had apparently p***ed off a lot of Americans, but I'd never got what she'd done! I've always been a fan of her music and her outspoken attitudes. I can't even be certain that I agree with all of her views, but I surer as hell believe that she has every right to talk about them. Isn't it ridiculous that the USA the "home of the free and the brave" as well as "equality" and the "home of freedom of speech" but should forsake Sinead O'Connor for telling the truth about the RC church, yet the same country continues to happily vote for political POSs because they support entirely racist and misogynist attitudes?
@@davidcolin6519 I just hope that next time she wants to make a statement, just don't rip up anymore photos of the Pope. I am not Catholic myself, but even I know where to draw the line.

@@DeadMusicChannel This is what I really, really don't get about American religiosity. Americans seem to be quite OK with religions that preach outright hatred of a.n.other, like Lutherans and Calvinists towards the RC church.

And you get politicians making all sorts of baseless, completely ludicrous claims about all sorts of other religions like Islam and Judaism, including ignoring proven facts. And then you've got the idiotic position that US "Christians" are somehow more moral because of..well...because (even when their "morality" has absolutely NOTHING to do with Christ), yet the idea of tearing up a f**king PHOTO of a guy in a dress gets the whole population saying that she had gone too far! You're kidding me, right? But no, you guys are serious about this. And you get fanatical about your flag and people disrespecting it, but it's perfectly OK to wrap your own f**king genitalia and ass in it?

I don't mean this to sound insulting but yes, that is, and always will be, an obvious fact. The goal of any company is always profit. That is not a bad thing, we need companies to make money.

It was really bullcrap that Timberlake got off with that. I live in Houston and they proved that both of them went to the shop specifically to get that style of clothing. They knew what would happen and yet Jackson was the only who got punished. Timberlake should've been punished too. That little incident is one of the reasons why Houston didn't get another Super Bowl for 13 years. Not the only, but one of them.
I didn't say it was the only reason, just one of them. It's why so many people were worried that Lady Gaga was going to cause some controversy, but she didn't and gave a great halftime show. As for the whole incident, the story was on the news as well. They interviewed the owner of the shop and he said they picked out the outfit specifically for that feature. I really didn't care one way or the other if they got punished or not, but it should've been equal for BOTH of them either way. I don't care for either of them or their music myself.
O'Connors unpopularity was not only caused by the shown scene. She said and did a LOT of things. And does it till today. She already played the teacher of moral and wisdome at that time and continue to do so till now. She is quick in rage, throwing insults and claims around - just remember when she called Arsenio Hall out for spiking her drinks and selling drugs to Prince aka Symbol. She only got away because she apologized later for that. When treated for her mental illness she blames the "stupid irish doctors" in comparison to US. When she finally converted to Islam (because the catholic church makes so many mistakes that Islam seems flawless to her...) she insulted everyone of another faith, telling that it would be the logic end for every "intelligent theologue" to do like her and that all other scribtures are not needed. She requested every women to wear a hidschab in the same time. This sort of woman is not disliked or even hated because she ripped one picture of one famous leader of one confession. You can ask one of her husbands... nothing to nice will come out.
She had no talent either . The song that made her an international star wasn't even written by her . I was only an infant at the time when she shot to fame . But she use to scare me with her skinhead . She looked like a knacker . To those who aren't Irish . A knacker is a term used in Ireland to describe a person from a poverty stricken back ground whose family sponge of the state and have a history of violent behaviour, alcoholism , drug addiction and drug dealing. If they make money at all it is usually in the black market.
And she is not very good. She is a one hit wonder and that hit was written by somebody else. I saw her perfprm around eight years ago and it was terrible.
I thought milli vanilli got a raw deal. People liked the music and they liked the performances. The Grammy was for the music, the music was real. Give the award to the real singers.
Agreed. Lip-syncing is so more common than people realize. While MV's story is a little different, so many people were entertained by the music. Just recognize it for what it is, then let it be...and keep enjoying it.
There was a lot of goofyness and gay crap with the 80's music. They video was pretty bad, but it sure didn't deserve the career damage. I think it was the mtv video infatuation that made it worse. You could win or lose in those years with your video.
The story behind that video is a comedy of errors. Billy Squire was on the Eddie Trunk Sirius show and told the story behind that. It was a deadline thing and the thinking was a video never hurt an artist....until that one. It is on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/PiJ2TYRm1u4/v-deo.html
Sinead had BIG BALLS for what she did. And exposed the f*ckin Catholic Church 27 years ago and their wrath still continues. She deserves a Noble Peace Prize.
Sinead o conner is the the most selfish attention seeking talentless excuse for a human being. Has never done anything for anyone but herself. It was years after the event that she found a valid reason to explain tearing up that picture.i hope the world never hears from her again.
Whilst i have no love for pedo preists, i question that is the motivation behind S.O. tearing up the popes picture. That aside.....she got her popularity off of ONE song...... can you name ANY OTHER SONGS SHE HAS DONE?? ALSO....that one song that made her popular........ Is a cover of a Prince song, Prince wrote/performed it. I'm not saying that her version is bad, but as a musician....how is she any different than pop stars whom are spoonfed their material?

Ashley Simpon's incident was hilarious at the time as she was a talentless hack with a rich daddy. THE SOLUTION: However, thinking back on it, If she had only said "Stop Stop" to her band and the lip-sync operator when she had realized what had happened she could have "confessed" on LIVE SNL, that she needed the lip-sync due to a sore throat, and did want to "disappoint her fans". Then the crowd would have cheered and encouraged her to start the song live, with her real vocal even if not perfect. IMHO that would have saved her from becoming a joke. Instead ... she ran off like a spoiled brat...
To be fair, that's an easy thing to play Monday Morning Quarterback on. She quite reasonably panicked. It's hard to think that much of any of us would have had the wherewithal to think that clearly on the spot like that live in front of the world.
You actually bought the acid reflux excuse? I'm a singer and guitar player. I've fronted a few bands and done some gigls with a little bit of a sore throat or worse, A little bit of heartburn would not stop me from singing on SNL, nor has it ever stopped anybody who actually had talent.

Janet has had quite a turnaround within the last two years though. A Rock Hall induction,several lifetime achievement awards from different ceremonies,and a Vegas residency that put her in the top ten highest residency debuts of all time. Can't say the same for Justin whose career has faltered in the same amount of time with a flopped album and a bomb of a Superbowl performance where the only money off that album he made was based off the tour he did and I heard that tour wasn't too hot either. Karma sure works in mysterious ways.

It garnered Jackson's second highest first-week sales in the US, and was certified platinum. Damita Jo sold over two million copies worldwide. It received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album.
No, he was singled out because he allowed Whites and Blacks to intermingle on live TV and he because he also defiantly continued to play the music of an incestuous pedophile, even after everyone else had stopped.
I'm assuming you're talking about Janet, right? The fact that it happened during the Super Bowl halftime show blew it up into a major scandal. If it happened during a random concert it might have got some publicity but not like the uproar from a performance being aired on live TV to millions of people.
WOW! This is hilarious! Please never try to pretend you have writers, because this video is embarrassing! "Milli Vanilli lost their Grammy and that was pretty much the end of that." What kind of fucked up oversight is forgetting the suicide of an entire person?

Sinead O' Connor was protesting against the Catholic church, which was doing nothing to protect children being molested from they're priests. She tore up a picture, big deal, but all those children lost their childhood, something they can never get back. O' Connor was standing for Justice. I salute her.
The industry did Janet so dirty. Especially because Justin suffered literally no consequence and yet he was the one to pull the piece away from her. And that's sexism for you. Men getting away with things women could never get away with.
The real truth about Justin is that, unlike Janet, he apologized for his part of the story, claiming that he didn’t know that would happen. Janet didn’t until it was too late. That’s why her career tanked and his didn’t.
Gee, you omitted Berry's 1959 conviction for violation of the Mann Act, with a 14 yo girl and the time he spent in prison for it. This was what killed Berry's career, not some drug bust in 1990.
His career wasn't hurt much really by his two stints in prison. After his release, he recorded and toured in England, had a big hit with "My Ding-a-Ling" a few years down the road, and toured regularly throughout the 70s and 80s with little controversy.
@@randomchannel1566 Yes you can be surprized. The event with the minor wasnt really a major deal, it was innocent and if the mother hadnt bitched so loudly it never would have been an issue. He was prosecuted for taking the girl out of state, not for statutory. And he dated white women, which was an issue then. As far as his songs went, he was just playing what was popular then, its not like he was a Joe Biden: Rock and Roll was still young and it was teenage girls that were buying the records. And he did a lot of cool songs that werent about Sweet Little Sixteens: Roll Over Bethoven, Brown Eyed Man, Maybellen, 40 Days, etc, and his autobiographical Johnny B Goode. Berry was a father of Rock and Roll and I think he was a decent man.
I heard something, forgive me, from an animated Batman episode. Those words were, "The brighter the picture, the darker the negative." Truly does seem to show that all superstars at some level have something sinister or secret about them. Taking notable exception to, of course, Peter Falk.
@@bink I did a little bit of research and read his biography. He truly is one of the rare stars that has passed through the world without scandal. I like him especially for this, but yes, he is also very good as COLUMBO.
Gotta love how it was JT that actually engineered the titty malfunction but Janet that took the media heat and career damage. Next time, y’all be sure and blame the victim :/. And a decade later, JT gets his own solo halftime show and Janet is nowhere in sight-that’s some cold sad shite right there
“Homophobia is still rampant in America,”. In 1998. Meanwhile, openly gay since 1992 British musician Elton John was well into enjoying one of the most lucrative careers of any musician ever to walk the face of the earth, much of that money being made in the United States. Narrator, or at least writer, is clearly an NPC. Disliked.
Disliking a video and leaving a comment both boost engagement and help the channel out. I'm assuming you're a lot less intelligent than you think you are.
Elton John is a massive pop star, and you can bet your ass that if he got attacked even for non hate crime reasons, that the media would be all over it. But the media is not all over the lives of the average gay person.
Let's not forget that Dire Straits called it back in 1985 in the video for Money for Nothing when George Michael was still in Wham!... Everybody knew, nobody cared. Culture Club/Boy George never had problems selling records back in the 80s, either.
Yeah, that was a really dumb statement. Nobody gave a damn that he was gay, I think a lot of people suspected that. I think people DID care that Georgie was wanking it in a public restroom. Is THAT what they mean by “homophobia”? SMH.
The fact that you think the mockumentary, "Leaving Neverland", destroyed Michael Jackson's career, is freaking HILARIOUS. Michael is STILL just as popular as he ever was---even in death. Thriller album still sells millions of albums. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I heard about it at the time, though I don't recall if she ever openly stated that was what her protest was about. If she had said something, maybe she would have had her voice heard. I still listen to Nothing Compares 2U.
In the U.K. we had a program called "Top Of The Pops" that lasted about 40 years, all the artist who went on it had to lip sinc whether they wanted to or not.
Do you think any of these musicians were treated unfairly, and didn't deserve to have their careers destroyed?
The guy who let a black man dance with a white woman obviously deserved it, but I'm not sure about the other people.
The accusations against Jackson were garbage. A book full of lies recycled into accusations. Full of contradictions and unsupported garbage.

Bunzy Bunzy that was then now racism is very rare, America has come far.
Its really messed yo that Janet was blackballed but Justin just seemed to rise from there. The worst part was that Justin never bothered to stick up for Janet when you know they planned that *together* .
While I am on your side on this (even though I like JT), there is no proof that he was in on it. Neither one should have really had that much backlash over that since some socialites have made their career with sex tapes.

Anubhab Dutta relax, not everyone in America is that way.
You have to also remember this happened YEARS AGO and times were different back then. If that had happened to her today she wouldn’t have gotten the same reaction.
Even in 1958, 60 years ago, you can so clearly tell she was shockingly young. Smacking bubblegum, putting handheld objects up to her mouth, not looking any adult around her in the eye... Its a very peculiar feeling seeing that kind of body language happened even way back then.
Well the other Sophia one not looking in the adult in the Eye there are children I do look at Alton I in those people adults I don’t like other people now like I’m one of them I want those people that cannot look people die because I feel funny so that one don’t know what makes much sense to me but I guess back then I did a 1958 I guess

Instead the animal instincts of survival of the dominant fittest , without symbiotic dependencies arises in epochs of time as a more powerful urge to violence & censorship !!!
@@sumeetagrawal9708 Not exactly. She went about it in a totally moronic manner though. What did she expect would happen? Right to protest, wrong place.
What’s sad is, in all likelihood he didn’t DO anything just didn’t occur to him to hide from the American public that their children had figured out how to get along with each other despite their racial back ground
And as far as the one person who brought up Ms O’Connor , her mistake was making a grand dramatic gesture without any explanation to what the gesture meant. Especially when you consider that the image she tore up was a particular Pope who had some high personal prestige beyond his high office. This is after the Pope that once threaten the Soviet Union that he would resign and return to Russian occupied Poland as a simple parish Priest. At the time people were more aware of that then they were aware about how deep the corruption and abuse of the church was .
To be fair amongst all of them Sinead O Connor was a hero who literally sacrificed her career to make a point.

@@mallarysangel The only point I was trying to make was that the reason O Connor ruined her career wasn't as stupid as for some other people.
Ashley Simpson was never a musician to begin with. No discernable talent.
She had talent.. just not singing😉
She copped out and blamed her band
Plus she was boring.

I applaud her for that. Anytime someone famous exposes the truth.

I loved it. Fuck the Pope, Catholicism, and religion
@@davidappleton1971 Oh good, another Protestant fundy pretending to be an atheist.
yeah, she is owed an apology.
To be honest, in my case, I think it was just stupid, asides religion, because it wasn't about religion, it was about the controversy around a religious group and she didn't do it because her ideologies (and of course she said that it was what "she believes it was right", it could have been worse for her saying "I thought they were gonna like it", at least she ends up as a martyr for her fans), she wanted to cash with the message, she did it because she was on the top, she wanted to come with a modern message... I can imagine her staff thinking "this is gonna be awesome, a deep, smart and selfless messagge, everyone is gonna love it" and it destroys her career just like Kathy Griffin with Trump's head some time ago... Although Mrs Griffin wasn't on the top... It doesn't matter if some people hates them, is just stupid to do something like that... Because they represent more than what their... Mmmh... In the absence of a better word "Haters" thinks they are...
I saw that live too... I just remember thinking “what the hell was that?” You could have heard a pin drop.
I saw Sinead tear the Poop's picture live that night in '92. I already was a fan, but I loved her more for her courage to call out the Catholic church for what is now common knowledge. And a few nights later, she doubled down and stood her ground in front of a huge live crowd. Good on you Sinead!
I thought she tore up the Pope pic because of the church's stand on abortion. Prolife should not be controversial. Maybe she changed the reason she claimed to do it because everyone agrees that child abuse is horrific. She should have separated her activism and music career. I understand her to have emotional problems now and to be self destructive. Maybe she always was.
@@nelsonx5326 She did it, apparently, because of how many individuals claimed to have been abused/molested by Catholic priests. My Dad used to be a pastor, and he left the church for that reason, too. They were just too hypocritical for him. 😢
I find it strange how this cancel culture works. Why is it that some people like Ashlee get cancelled on minor things but some artists who are still going strong have done terrible things? It amazes me.
In that Era there were talented musicians. Ashley was suspect from the jump. Much like Aaron Carter etc.. talentless industry plant.. the snl show just exposed her at a vulnerable time. She had no business being famous and stealing the spotlight from other aspiring up and coming artists. Unfortunately the music industry is nothing but Ashley Simpsons now.. ie Billy Elisha etc.. why it's trash now
Randy I was onboard with everything you said (it’s harsh but true) but Eilish is talented imo. Maybe music tastes are changing without you
Because cancel culture doesn’t exist. Ashlee was always untalented, and rode on the coattails of her more famous sister. Plus, Saturday Night Live is called LIVE for a reason. Furthermore, in the past she derided others for lip syncing saying she would never do that. Well, lo and behold. And her doing that stupid dance and then leaving the stage was extremely unprofessional. I am so sick and tired of people being like “this wouldn’t have been a big deal today.” Yes, it would have. This would have been a terrible performance today as well. She just unraveled everything in one fell swoop.
That jig she did is what did her in. God, that looked stupid.

Milli vanilli wasn't live on mtv when the backing track skipped. It was called the club mtv tour and it happened at lake compounce in Bristol Connecticut.
I watched the Sinead episode live that night. I remember when she tore it up, the strange thing was it was totally silent. You could tell the live audience didn't know what to expect or what exactly happened or how to react. I guess they didn't show the applause lights for that reason either. So it was just silence afterward. That was back before the internet, and most people didn't see it live and it took days for talk of what happened to spread around. It was the final song at the very end of the show, and that's also by the time a lot of people have stopped watching because it just ends so late at night. I then saw that in a rerun not too many years later and they cut that out. Anyway, it was cool I saw it live and knew that it was unscripted and was going to be a big deal.
I remember that episode. I didn’t realize she was doing in protest to the sexual immorality that was going on the Catholic Church.
I see her in a whole different light now.

I've built costumes, and been a dressmaker. The part of Janet Jackson's bustier that came apart is never, ever meant to do that. It had to be planned.
It was absolutely planned. Reporters from the Houston Chronicle tracked down the costume shop that made the alterations to the bustier and the shop that sold the nipple shield jewelry. But at least they had not planned things too far in advance, Jackson a Timberlake were in Houston only for a week before the game.
I think the issue everyone has was the fact that they both had a part in it and she took the brunt of the blame because she owned up to it and apologized first
I believe it was planned. The nipple cover proof it. No woman wear those 24/7 just because they're pretty, one would only used them to intentionally showed them. But I think it's unfair that only Janet got the backlashes while Justin roams free. But maybe that's because the dude really got talent whilst Janet not so much...just some synchronized dancing?
I don't understand why Janet Jackson got shafted when it wasn't her fault.
@Daniel Pesch probably racism.
Geogre Michael was even more famous after that, had a hit single about the whole thing
James Vernon in the uk he stayed popular yes, but his rep suffered a lot more in the US. I dont think he ever had another Top 40 single there the rest of his life.
Yeah, just like Ricky Martin
Saw in concert sat in front row the best
His popularity didn't fade in the US because of homophobia. It faded because he built his career appealing to young women. Once he was "off the market" for the ladies he fizzled the same as Ricky Martin. By contrast, Rob Halford and Freddie Mercury suffered no setbacks from coming out.
How can you have missed R Kelly?
Come one Ashley Simpson's career was destroyed simply because she has no talent, the snl thing just gave us more proof of that.

The problem wasn't so much that Americans are kind of prudish when it comes to sex on TV, but this incident happened during the Super Bowl halftime show, an event that is watched by millions of families with young children. Justin Timberlake went too far by ripping open Janet Jackson's corset. He, not her, should have taken the brunt of the fallout. Way to punish the victim!

Granted, her singles success dwindled after the wardrobe malfunction, but that's probably because radio airplay figures into the Hot 100 (as opposed to the albums chart, which is strictly sales-based).
Meanwhile, Janet continued to appear in movies and still had a successful string of tours. It was unlikely that her career would ever return to the Control/Rhythm Nation levels, and that incident certainly did not help the cause, but Janet didn't fall off the face of the earth in the same way others on this list seemed to.
Yeah, as much as I think it's bullshit that she's the one who suffered for it while Timberlake went unscathed, I dont know if that is what hurt her career. If I recall, she was kinda on the downswing careerwise anyway.
@@wickedspank Agree. And, for that matter, it's not so much that Timberlake got away with anything as much as he was just a megastar still on the upswing.
I never realized how much of a lemming I was to judge Sinaed O'connor over that SNL incident. Now, with this new perspective, I have learned that she was in the right, and almost the entire world, including me, were in the wrong. I feel so ashamed for the opinion I held of her since. Sinaed O'connor, you are a brave, and noble person, for compromising your own image, in order to bring light to an injustice, which everyone else was oblivious to. I am a returning fan of Sinaed O'connor. Rock on.
I'm not one to say "I told you so" because I knew that she had apparently p***ed off a lot of Americans, but I'd never got what she'd done!
I've always been a fan of her music and her outspoken attitudes. I can't even be certain that I agree with all of her views, but I surer as hell believe that she has every right to talk about them.
Isn't it ridiculous that the USA the "home of the free and the brave" as well as "equality" and the "home of freedom of speech" but should forsake Sinead O'Connor for telling the truth about the RC church, yet the same country continues to happily vote for political POSs because they support entirely racist and misogynist attitudes?
@@davidcolin6519 I just hope that next time she wants to make a statement, just don't rip up anymore photos of the Pope. I am not Catholic myself, but even I know where to draw the line. I mean, the dude was likely just as unaware of what was happening, or unsure of it, as the rest of us were, ya know? Use something like a crucifix, or a Catholic Scapular, a Rosary, anything, but the Pope. Please Sinaed. Lol.
@@DeadMusicChannel This is what I really, really don't get about American religiosity.
Americans seem to be quite OK with religions that preach outright hatred of a.n.other, like Lutherans and Calvinists towards the RC church. FFS, their principle claim is that The Pope is literally the antichrist! And you get politicians making all sorts of baseless, completely ludicrous claims about all sorts of other religions like Islam and Judaism, including ignoring proven facts. And then you've got the idiotic position that US "Christians" are somehow more moral because of..well...because (even when their "morality" has absolutely NOTHING to do with Christ), yet the idea of tearing up a f**king PHOTO of a guy in a dress gets the whole population saying that she had gone too far!
You're kidding me, right?
But no, you guys are serious about this.
And you get fanatical about your flag and people disrespecting it, but it's perfectly OK to wrap your own f**king genitalia and ass in it?
Seriously, the USA really needs to get a grip on its own hypocrisy.
@@DeadMusicChannel And its a fri**ing photograph! And "the West" claims that Muslims are being ridiculous when they put out a fatwah on cartoonists...

I don't mean this to sound insulting but yes, that is, and always will be, an obvious fact. The goal of any company is always profit. That is not a bad thing, we need companies to make money. We certainly prefer they make money by promoting goods and services we actually want but if they can get away with it, they will produce what is profitable and hope they can tell us what to want.

I guess Janet Jackson normally wears gold glitter pasties beneath her bra.
It was really bullcrap that Timberlake got off with that. I live in Houston and they proved that both of them went to the shop specifically to get that style of clothing. They knew what would happen and yet Jackson was the only who got punished. Timberlake should've been punished too. That little incident is one of the reasons why Houston didn't get another Super Bowl for 13 years. Not the only, but one of them.
I didn't say it was the only reason, just one of them. It's why so many people were worried that Lady Gaga was going to cause some controversy, but she didn't and gave a great halftime show. As for the whole incident, the story was on the news as well. They interviewed the owner of the shop and he said they picked out the outfit specifically for that feature. I really didn't care one way or the other if they got punished or not, but it should've been equal for BOTH of them either way. I don't care for either of them or their music myself.

don't forget People also Hated Sinead O'conner for getting a guy fired for singing the national anthem
biggest no talent the industry has ever seen
Sinead could actually sing as well
People hated SInead because she was a woman who spoke her mind.
O'Connors unpopularity was not only caused by the shown scene. She said and did a LOT of things. And does it till today. She already played the teacher of moral and wisdome at that time and continue to do so till now.
She is quick in rage, throwing insults and claims around - just remember when she called Arsenio Hall out for spiking her drinks and selling drugs to Prince aka Symbol. She only got away because she apologized later for that.
When treated for her mental illness she blames the "stupid irish doctors" in comparison to US.
When she finally converted to Islam (because the catholic church makes so many mistakes that Islam seems flawless to her...) she insulted everyone of another faith, telling that it would be the logic end for every "intelligent theologue" to do like her and that all other scribtures are not needed. She requested every women to wear a hidschab in the same time.
This sort of woman is not disliked or even hated because she ripped one picture of one famous leader of one confession.
You can ask one of her husbands... nothing to nice will come out.
Mental illness is a helluva thing. I still like some of her music, though as with all artists, I don't have to embrace their life choices.
She had no talent either . The song that made her an international star wasn't even written by her . I was only an infant at the time when she shot to fame . But she use to scare me with her skinhead . She looked like a knacker . To those who aren't Irish . A knacker is a term used in Ireland to describe a person from a poverty stricken back ground whose family sponge of the state and have a history of violent behaviour, alcoholism , drug addiction and drug dealing. If they make money at all it is usually in the black market.
@@greengrass811 Pretty sure a "knacker" is slang for a traveller. At least it is in my corner of the country.
And she is not very good. She is a one hit wonder and that hit was written by somebody else. I saw her perfprm around eight years ago and it was terrible.
I thought milli vanilli got a raw deal. People liked the music and they liked the performances. The Grammy was for the music, the music was real. Give the award to the real singers.

In the late 60's and early 70's, Jerry Lee Lewis found new life on the country charts, scoring ten top 10 hits.

For the country music crowd, marrying your 13-year old cousin is commonplace.
He was still popular in Germany, too. Check out Live at the Star Club (recorded in the early 60s); the crowd is going insane.
@@dadduorp the modern country crowd
you neglect to mention that despite experiencing an upset in his musical career - Jerry Lee Lewis did later entirely get away with shooting his wife dead - to the extent that very few people even mention that..
You must be thinking of someone else. Myra is still alive and wrote two books about her life with Jerry Lee. They did divorce and he remarried 4 more times. I read somewhere that he had shot his bass player once but the guy lived to sue him. His 5th wife, Shawn Stephens died from an apparent overdose.

he did have many more than the one wife..
His fifth marriage, to Shawn Stephens, lasted 77 days, from June to August 1983, ending with her death.[37] Journalist Richard Ben Cramer alleged that Lewis abused her and may have been responsible for her death, but the allegations have never been verified.[38]
Andi Pandi Yes, as I said, he had seven wife’s. None died from gun shot wounds and Shawn’s autopsy concluded it was an overdose of some kind. I also found where he’s still alive too, although they said he had a stroke recently and is living in some sort of assisted living or nursing home situation.
he did what
Ashley Simpon's incident was hilarious at the time as she was a talentless hack with a rich daddy. THE SOLUTION: However, thinking back on it, If she had only said "Stop Stop" to her band and the lip-sync operator when she had realized what had happened she could have "confessed" on LIVE SNL, that she needed the lip-sync due to a sore throat, and did want to "disappoint her fans". Then the crowd would have cheered and encouraged her to start the song live, with her real vocal even if not perfect. IMHO that would have saved her from becoming a joke. Instead ... she ran off like a spoiled brat...
To be fair, that's an easy thing to play Monday Morning Quarterback on. She quite reasonably panicked. It's hard to think that much of any of us would have had the wherewithal to think that clearly on the spot like that live in front of the world.
You actually bought the acid reflux excuse? I'm a singer and guitar player. I've fronted a few bands and done some gigls with a little bit of a sore throat or worse, A little bit of heartburn would not stop me from singing on SNL, nor has it ever stopped anybody who actually had talent. Most female singers are there for their looks these days and can't actually sing.

Janet has had quite a turnaround within the last two years though. A Rock Hall induction,several lifetime achievement awards from different ceremonies,and a Vegas residency that put her in the top ten highest residency debuts of all time. Can't say the same for Justin whose career has faltered in the same amount of time with a flopped album and a bomb of a Superbowl performance where the only money off that album he made was based off the tour he did and I heard that tour wasn't too hot either. Karma sure works in mysterious ways.
I admire Sinead for what she did back then.It was very brave at the time.
And she was right.
Brave or stupid?
I agree. She tried to get people to wake up to what priests were doing on the sly. And for THAT she gets continually criticized? Was that her problem or ours? Look how long it took to draw serious attention to that institutionalized criminal corruption....
@@FriendofDorothy I wouldn't for one second disagree with what she was highlighting! Jeez any morally decent person would agree with the sentiment but she must have known she'd get that backlash. It's not rocket science. Then she blames that for her mental breakdown was it? Or part of the reason. Come on Sinead. If I went on telly and tore up a picture of the Pope I'm pretty sure I'd be lynched.

Janet Jackson’s unfortunate clothing malfunction happened on Feb ‘04, right before her next album Domita Jo was released March 30th ‘04. It garnered Jackson's second highest first-week sales in the US, and was certified platinum. Damita Jo sold over two million copies worldwide. It received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Poor Janet Jackson. It wasn't her fault.
The payola scandal was rampant. Alan Freed was singled out because he played "dangerous" music. Sigh.
No, he was singled out because he allowed Whites and Blacks to intermingle on live TV and he because he also defiantly continued to play the music of an incestuous pedophile, even after everyone else had stopped.

Sinead O'Connor deserves an apology . And she's also written an autobiography.
I remember George Michael for some damn good music over the years. He may have danced on guilty feet but he never lost the rhythm.
imo George Michael should have become the lead singer of Queen after Freddie Mercury's death.
Sinead O' Connor was protesting against the Catholic church, which was doing nothing to protect children being molested from they're priests. She tore up a picture, big deal, but all those children lost their childhood, something they can never get back. O' Connor was standing for Justice. I salute her.
The industry did Janet so dirty. Especially because Justin suffered literally no consequence and yet he was the one to pull the piece away from her.
And that's sexism for you. Men getting away with things women could never get away with.
The real truth about Justin is that, unlike Janet, he apologized for his part of the story, claiming that he didn’t know that would happen. Janet didn’t until it was too late. That’s why her career tanked and his didn’t.
@@rbradford11 Oh so it all hinged on an apology? Really? That's such a gullible thing to say.
Gee, you omitted Berry's 1959 conviction for violation of the Mann Act, with a 14 yo girl and the time he spent in prison for it. This was what killed Berry's career, not some drug bust in 1990.
His career wasn't hurt much really by his two stints in prison. After his release, he recorded and toured in England, had a big hit with "My Ding-a-Ling" a few years down the road, and toured regularly throughout the 70s and 80s with little controversy.

As far as his songs went, he was just playing what was popular then, its not like he was a Joe Biden: Rock and Roll was still young and it was teenage girls that were buying the records. And he did a lot of cool songs that werent about Sweet Little Sixteens: Roll Over Bethoven, Brown Eyed Man, Maybellen, 40 Days, etc, and his autobiographical Johnny B Goode.

“Homophobia is still rampant in America,”. In 1998. Meanwhile, openly gay since 1992 British musician Elton John was well into enjoying one of the most lucrative careers of any musician ever to walk the face of the earth, much of that money being made in the United States.
Narrator, or at least writer, is clearly an NPC. Disliked.
Disliking a video and leaving a comment both boost engagement and help the channel out. I'm assuming you're a lot less intelligent than you think you are.
Elton John is a massive pop star, and you can bet your ass that if he got attacked even for non hate crime reasons, that the media would be all over it. But the media is not all over the lives of the average gay person.
Freddy Mercury also
Let's not forget that Dire Straits called it back in 1985 in the video for Money for Nothing when George Michael was still in Wham!... Everybody knew, nobody cared. Culture Club/Boy George never had problems selling records back in the 80s, either.
