janet is the only jackson that isn’t under michael’s shadow. this woman created an entire genre in the 80’s which everyone including michael used, influenced millions and opened the doors for some many female artists. her career is LEGENDARY but unfortunately the new generation doesn’t know anything due to the fact that she was blackballed in the music industry during the 2000s. she was one of the best selling artists of all time and she was also nominated for an oscar for best original song
Please don't diminish the members of the family based on your fanaticism for Janet. They ALL were under Michael's shadow, including Janet, but they ALL made names for themselves. Period.
@@GalaxyNexus1 when janet was at her commercial peak, she wasn’t under michael’s shadow. interviews stopped asking her about her brother and michael even started to questions about janet in his interviews. janet is an iconic in her own right
@@butterflyszn2342 Janet IS an icon. I never said she wasn't. Yes, she managed to achieve great success, but to pretend the shadow never existed is not factual. Fyi, I've loved Janet since she was a child, BEFORE she recorded a single album, before many commenting in outrage knew who she was, and have been to every tour of hers. 🤷♂️
@@GalaxyNexus1 did i ever said the shadow never existed? no... that exactly why i said she was the only one to get out of his shadow meaning she was in his shadow before her commercial peak.
Young bucks it’s unfortunate that the music industry tried to bury Janets legendary career because of the Super Bowl incident, but she was never in Michael’s shadow Miss Jackson is the blueprint for every Young female popstar out here today. That’s why you guys don’t understand the full impact of her legendary career she is a superstar in her own lane.
Were you around in the 80s? Doesn't sound like it. Of course she was in his shadow. I've never once seen Michael asked about Janet in an interview, but Janet was asked about Michael in almost all.
@@GalaxyNexus1it’s the fans who is the reason she is not in his shadow. It’s the interviewers, and paparazzi, and tabloids who try to put her in a box, or put her in his shadows, which she is not and only once in the very beginning of her career.
Nah Janet definitely made her own lane! Yall say that cause yall young and dont know the influence she had. It's actually impressive considering her brother is Michael Jackson, which means she HAD to put in a lot of work!
For real i hate when people try to sweep her legacy under the rug. She was huge in the late 80s and all through out the 90s, her success at times matched Madonna and whitney, and she was the 2nd most successful female artist in the 90s after Mariah. And people say shes in Micheal’s shadow😪😒
Janet is the blueprint for many. Including Aaliyah, Ciara, j lo, Brittany spears, normani etc. Janet made a name for herself. No one really refers to her as Michael sister. Janet was the first woman to receive a Grammy nomination for producing, she has 10 number 1hits, and 5x Grammy award winner.
Many refer to her as Michael's sister. Maybe you are just recently discovering her? And I'm a huge fan. By the way, every artist you cited as being inspired by Janet was ALSO inspired by Michael 1st. Not to say Janet is not an iconic artist in her own right, but Michael's influence, and dominance also can not be overlooked.
@@GalaxyNexus1 dude what?? How does my comment overlook and disregard Michael’s talent. Most People don’t refer to Janet as Michael Jackson sister. Only people who don’t know of her. Don’t come under my comment assuming shit. I’m a huge Michael fan. I’m not a Janet fan at all but I like a few songs. This also isn’t a Michael Jackson video so why would I make it about him. Your comment is honestly weird. Who tries to put siblings against each other. Weird.
I’m sorry y’all are wrong , if she was just in her brother shadow , don’t you think the other siblings would be just as huge . Janet is a legend made her own lane . Has won 5 Grammys countless of awards many #1s has sold over 200 million records . This song was a huge #1 hot 100 song in 2001 . No one says she’s in Micheal shadow she has influenced so many artist still today . Janet is huge worldwide. FYI she wasn’t trying to mj she’s in her own lane.
Janet was 35 here. With her 1998 album The Velvet Rope Janet was actually the highest paid entertainer at the time surpassing even Michael. Janet was huge until the superbowl incident. She was basically blacklisted after that and her career suffered greatly and never recovered.
Janet Jackson created her own path success she was never her brothers shadow she's the only Jackson sibling besides Michael to have a historical career every single artist you listen to on this channel are all inspired or influence by Janet Jackson this woman one of the biggest names in the planet.
Janet wasn’t seen as MJs Shadow. She has an insanely successful career. To put things in perspective MJ had 13 #1 hits and 30 Top 10 hits, Janet has had 10 #1 hits and 27 Top 10 hits.
To put it in REAL perspective, Michael has been recording since he was 10 and actually has 17 #1 Pop Hits. Janet has 10. As a solo artist, Michael is 5th place for #1s, while Janet is tied for 10th place with Stevie Wonder. Also, Fyi, charts were calculated differently beginning in the 90s, so Michael's charting/sales prior to that were not reflected in the manner sales began to be reflected thereafter. That aside, I could list a few pages worth of records, awards and accomplishments that Michael achieved over Janet. That's not the point. Why do people get so defensive when the facts are stated. Janet's impact and success paled in comparison to Michaels, but that's no knock at her. There never was and never will be another Michael Jackson. He's in a class of his own. Even though she was in his shadow for a very long time, she carved her own lane, career and is herself an icon. Both truths CAN coexist.
@@GalaxyNexus1 she was never in Michael’s shadow for me and lots of others. I never listened to Michael Jackson and when I heard Nasty on the radio I was blown away…so no there was no shadow.
@@riky456 you and many others are irrelevant. She wasn't performing for you and your friends. The discussion is regarding the grand scheme of things, not your personal relationship to her and her artistry. I never listened to Elton John and don't care for him, and there are many others that feel the same. My personal feelings toward him doesn't mean he's not an immensely successful artist. You think because I don't like Elton John that means his talent, impact and success doesn't exist? You not being aware of a shadow is just you not being aware. The fact that you have to type comments saying "no way, she's not in his shadow!" is literal evidence she's in his shadow. LOL. In no MJ reaction video will you find a reactor saying "Michael was always in Janet's shadow." Michael is always mentioned with Janet. Janet is not mentioned with Michael. 🤷♂️
@@GalaxyNexus1 I am annoyed at the commentators talking about MJ the whole time. He is suggesting her star didn’t shine on her own cuz MJs shadow was always dimming her light. That’s what that means. That’s not possible because Janet is an icon…if he did some research he would see she’s one of the most successful selling artists of all time. Her light shines bright despite your opinion that’s a fact. He was reacting to a Janet video…there was no reason to bring up her brother. Not sure why your bringing up Elton John…but you should check out Janets duet w Elton….look for the song “I know the truth” And thanks for calling me irrelevant…I disagree. I’m quite relevant thank you very much. 💪😝
She was 35 here. Too, she made a distinct career in music and acting that was different from MJ. She even beat him at the Grammy's one year. I think people who grew up on both see them as different artists, like I know they're siblings of course but don't compare them bc they're so different.
janet jackson created her own lane her own legacy she never wanted to compete with michael or any of her siblings she's proved that she's more than michael's little sister for 35 years she has nothing to prove to anyone michael is michael and janet and janet yall need to learn the difference between them just cause they look alike don't mean they're each other.
If all it took to be successful in the music industry was to ride on Michael’s coattails, don’t you think Latoya, Rebbie, Tito, Randy, etc. would have had successful solo careers as well? Janet is successful because she’s a bad-ass, talented singer, dancer and performer.
Janet also does have her own 4 hour/2 night documentary about her career that will be released in January 2022. A 1 minute teaser trailer which features brief clips of interviews from Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul, and her brother Tito Jackson as well as behind the scenes footage (including a brief clip of her and Michael working on writing their duet "Scream" as well as a brief clip of Tupac when they were on the set of Poetic Justice) was recently released and is something you could react to. The video is titled: "JANET" Documentary Teaser (Official). You might have to watch the trailer more than once within the reaction if/when you guys react to it so you can truly grasp all the moments featured in the teaser trailer of the documentary. When the full trailer is released it will be longer/have more moments and you could react to that as well (imagine that full trailer will be released in late October or early November)
Definitely recommend watching and reacting to Janet's MTV Icon Special. There are multiple versions of the MTV Icon special on UA-cam but would say that the best edited/most similar to the original broadcast (the only major difference from the original broadcast is that the commercials are edited out) was uploaded by the user miss janet and is titled: Janet Jackson MTV Icon Full. The special is just over a hour long but instead of making a hour long reaction you guys could break up the reaction into 4 to 5 parts that are around 10 to 12 minutes long. Janet is the main focus of the MTV Icon special but there are many celebrities who appear throughout the special. It really gives you a sense of how many people in the music industry she inspired/how big she was, a career overview for Janet (up until 2001 when the special was released), and helps you understand what Janet was going through behind the scenes during different points in her career (like her dealing with depression during the making of The Velvet Rope album). As others have mentioned Janet definitely created her own lane and inspired many musical acts. Many artist that you have reacted to on this channel have cited Janet as someone who inspired/influenced them. Just a few artists you've reacted to that at one time or another have said they were fans of Janet as well as cited Janet as an one of their musical influences/inspirations include Beyonce, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Aaliyah, Ciara, Normani, Usher, Bruno Mars, etc.
No way shes definitely not in his shadow. She established a legit career that everyone recognizes. She has a great catalogue, so many hits; shes his sister but she holds her own. She was 35 in this video
I use to love this song growing up. And then when I got older. I said I can't believe my mama let me sing this song as a child. Ms Jackson was beyond nasty with it. 🤣
Janet was never Michael shadow she was even his competition in their careers and he was even inspired by his sister himself Janet is in the same league as her brother, Prince, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston etc when it comes to changing the game Janet a global legend she even upstarted the careers of multiple artists themselves.
I already know yall getting dragged. And it's not just Janet fans, but ppl who are old enough to have been alive at the time and aware. But by that time Janet was definitely more than Michael's little sister, literally the song you just reviewed was her 10th #1 song and 28th top 10 hit. It appears yall have a lot of older viewers based on a lot of these video requests, ima need yall to do yall research and learn about these older artists, you will be surprised at what you find.
Janet Jackson was never Michael shadow don't know where that lie came from Janet is one of the biggest pop acts in history do y'all even know how hard it was for Janet to have her own career while her brother was dominating this industry? Janet made a career on her own and reach success Michael couldn't in his career she influence and inspired literally every single Pop and R&B girl and guys in existence y'all better recognize who Janet Jackson is she's important in music.
Janet was at one time higher in the charts than Michael Jackson however he did repass her again. When he released a new album. Funny people use to think they were the same person. It was crazy. U should react to there video together. Scream
Janet was 34. Btw, there are people who don't even know Michael's music like that, but because they hear "oh he's the G.O.A.T., the best through social media and not by watching or experiencing his catalog of entertainment for themselves. They automatically praise him because that's what social media does. People be gas lighting his popularity and only heard one or 2 songs by him. He is a legend, respectfully so. There are huge greats from the 80's and beyond, eras that are world wide known. The only difference that keeps people from putting them on a higher pedestal is the fact that Mike was performing professionally since he was very young. That just gave him more years in the game. Was everything he put out good? No. Every artist will have songs or even albums that dud, but still, their hits make up for their misses. Janet had 2 albums before Control debuted, but they weren't commercial successes. After Control...every album hit the ground running. Her biggest albums were : Control, Rhythm Nation 1814, Janet and Velvet Rope. A little bit of sexism plays a part in people always putting her in Michael's shadow as well. Don't believe me? Ask a man if Beyonce is the Michael Jackson of this era and they will not even pause to say no, yet they barely know any of her discography because she's a woman and they are too macho to dig into her catalog and be real about it. Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna, George Michael, Janet Jackson. These were the legends that shaped most of the popular music genre of the late 20th century. Janet is a Juggernaut in her own right. She has been an inspiration, especially to little black girls who got to witness a female black pop icon (and a Jackson, no less) show that we deserve representation too. Michael AND Janet were the only 2 Jacksons keeping their family legacy going for 2 and a half decades. They ruled the 90's and Janet kept it strong for the early 2000's, til she walked away from it for a long while. And, NO....JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, WE STILL HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN HOW HE HELPED F**K IT UP FOR HER!
i absolutely agree with the comments that janet is a legend and beyond in her own right but i don't think anyone should be blamed for not knowing that... her legacy was tarnished hence why so people aren't aware of her immense popularity
So many young reactors are though. It’s like they don’t know the stages in which music evolved from the 70s disco funk to hip hop rap grunge electronic etc etc and with said the artists that also changed the way music is seen today. So many reactors just assume the ones on the charts today are the ones who invented it. So off
@@mrbrownroyyal or just watch like an evolution of music from the 60s to present. I dunno how the hell I even know about 70s/80s music. -but the fact is-I DO -and I’m very much not into today’s shit I hear blasting out these iPhones
That statement was soooo wrong. Janet was not in her brother Michael Jackson’s shadow. That irresponsible statement was made because you don’t know the REAL HISTORY of Ms. Janet Jackson-Damita Jo. Janet has created her own lane and has inspired a countless number of Artist. Janet is still a visionary, sex symbol, trendsetter, humanitarian, actress, dancer, a mother and ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTIST IN THE ENTIRE 🌎 . Janet is ICONIC. A LIVING LEGEND. Janet was not under her brothers shadow because she had her own light that shined and transcended around the globe and beyond. HER FANS ARE MAD BECAUSE YOUR STATEMENT WAS NOT FACTUAL.
Janet Jackson signed the largest contract in history for 32 million in 1991 for both male and female recording artists, Michael Jackson included. Then later virgin records signed her for 80 million in 1996 .Michael later signed a larger contract after her. She also is in the Guinness book of records for having number one albums in each of the last 4 decades along with Barbara Streisand and Bruce Springsteen. Those are only a few of her accomplishments as well as her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Isn't its funny how they said that. One of the top female artist of all time and set and broke many records which today, still hasn't been done and they think she was in Michael shadow. LMAO.
I think you guys are mistaken… Janet Jackson has 10 no. 1 singles, 7 no. 1 albums (3 being eligible for diamond status) 27 top 10 hits, the biggest debut tour of any artist, signed the biggest recording contract in history TWICE, only artist to have 7 Top 5 hits off one album, billboard ranked her no. 7 of there 100 artists, beating out Michael at no. 8… in fact Janet was such a celebrity in the 90s that people didn’t even refer to her as his sister, and he even used her star power to bring his public image back up. Y’all need a history lesson because y’all are wrong. Stop playing with Janet
I never thought of Janet to be living under Michael's shadow.... she had songs that clearly put her on the map and maybe the case that she and Michael were both making their names on music industry side by side (which they did and they made an impact) but no, Janet is a legend because she got there herself.
Janet was literally blacklisted after the Super Bowl fiasco in 2004. So that's 17 years of people not hearing or learning about this legend, unless current artists who were kids when she was a megastar do tributes to her at award shows. Choose whatever female pop/rnb artist from the 2000s that used a head mic and did intricate choreography...Janet paved the way for them.
Everybody is under Michael's shadow PERIOD! But Janet is much respected because she carved a success of her own the other Jacksons couldn't She's the blueprint alongside Madonna to change the female game forever
No, Janet hasn’t been in Micheals shadow (MUSICALLY) since 1986 when she released Control and carved her own lane - blew that lane wide open with 89 Rhythm Nation and by the time we were at 93’s janet. she started creating freeways and bypasses’ for future performers. You have to remember that Janet is the first black child star on a prime time network tv show as Penny on Good Times along with roles on Different Steokes and Fame. Janet was already doing her own thing in acting before her father told her to do music - The only reason younger generations don’t know about her is because she was blacklisted after the Super Bowl. So removed from radio, early 2000’s was when MTV, VH1 and BET we’re shifting away from music videos (thanks to Viacom) so that left her with not many promotional outlets- however throughout it the years the ban seems to be lifted from main stream press and she’s about to come hard in 2022👏🏾
Janet has been making her own path since she was a child. She's been acting since she was 10 years old. She was an actress on Good Times for 2 seasons. She's also been in films Poetic Justice (with Tupac), The Nutty Professor 2, Why Did I Get Married (1 AND 2), and FOR COLORED GIRLS. She recorded 8 albums, won 5 Grammys, 10 MTV VMAs, and 11 Billboard awards. And they didn't give them to her because she's "MJ's Sister' Maybe you feel that she's in his shadow because you aren't familiar with her career.
Janet wasn’t in Michael’s shadow. She was doing better than him in the 90’s at a certain point. Her career and influence are a special thing all their own. If you really study how many people reference her looks and concepts, She’s the true Queen of pop.
Janet was always in her own lane. She didn’t fall under Michael at all. She did her own thing on her own and became one the biggest female artist ever. She’s the blueprint to many female artist. She writes, produces her own music. She’s an awesome artist.
Actually, the only reason she appears to be in his shadow now is because so much of the new generation doesn’t know about her after she was blacklisted from the Super Bowl and today. But early on in her career, she tried very hard to get out of Michael’s shadow. Which she did eventually. That’s when she created the album “Janet.” Removing the last name to show independence. That’s why even though Michael wanted to work for her a long time, she refused to do it until she felt like she established her own lane. That’s when she decided to do Scream with him. and actually she eclipsed his stardom at one point. You could see her insulin even last night at the mtv vmas when Norman’s performance paid tribute to her. Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Normani, Ciara, Rihanna’s, etc. all credit Janet as a major influence. We all call Janet The Blueprint.
She is an icon equal to her brother. She was the first artist to sign an unprecedented record deal $80 million dollar for four albums with Virgin records. Janet also managed a seven week run at number 1 with her hit single “That’s The Way Love Goes”. He may have sold more albums overall but she’s had much more success with Billboard Hot 100; not to mention she has been successful in tv & films.
Yes you right right man. There are a lot of greats and icons, such as Janet Jackson. Janet is incredible. But nobody can surpass Michael Jackson. He’s the greatest of all time. Shine & shine on forever King We love you “That’s the Jackson shine”
In the 90's Janet was the more influential figure in pop culture. That's why Michael wanted her on 'Scream'. Talent wise, Michael is one of the greatest.
Janet is THAT woman and definitely not in MJ’s shadow. It’s unfortunate that the Super Bowl incident tarnished her legacy but now the younger generation are beginning to take notice on all accomplishments. She’s MJ’s sister, but she’s def in her own lane. Great reaction video!
Definitely a incredibly talented artist in her own right and has influenced other artists that came after her such as Aaliyah, Britney Spears, Ciara, Tinashe, and Victoria Monet are some people that come to my mind.
Guys, just started watching your videos tonight and enjoying your vibe. Just answer your question, no she was never in Michael’s shadow. That’s just not the way we thought about it. The Jacksons were a musical family and many of them were famous in their own right. Some of the siblings started as an incredibly popular group in the 70s called the Jackson 5. Michael and Janet shared similarities musically. But, nobody thought that she was copying him in anyway. Maybe you guys started out by hearing Michael, and so you see the similarities and think she’s emulating him. But they truthfully emulated each other.
Shadow? Y'all must not know Ms.Janet If You're Nasty Jackson! Janet definitely was NOT in her brothers shadow...but their other siblings were. Janet is an ICON and she is ALOT of pop stars inspiration and influence from Britney Spears, Jlo, Ciara, Mya to Normani! Janet IS THE BLUEPRINT for female pop stars & female kpop stars if you want to get technical!
No, her and Michael were in similar but different lanes. I was a competitive dancer and Michael and Janet are both 2 of the most idolized artists for dancers, and she went out of her way to cast dancers that were unknown and not signed to an agency, she was kinda legendary for the dance world and what she did for it.
I think the wording is off, she is not in his shadow, however Flacko you're right by saying that no one has surpassed MJ, so I think it's unfair to compare Janet to him, when many other big artists like Janet herself, Mariah, Whtiney, Madonna, Prince etc will never surpass him. So let's give Janet her props for being successful in her own right coming out of a family which produced the Jackson 5 and MJ! and herself!
She's a superstar in her own right...she's not evening Michael's ''shadow''...Truth be told....Michael's lookin' at her like: ''Alright sis!!!''🤗🥰💖🔥💯👏🏽🙌🏽
As somehow who was growing up at that time, NO Janet was NOT in his shadow, but even a competitor. Yes, he held the top spot, but Prince, Madonna, Janet, Whitney and (later) Mariah were all breathing down his neck most of the time. She's a legend in her own right! And keep in mind, this song came out in 2001, well after he'd begun to decline, so....
If anything Janet has been underrated as an overall performer as the years has past, however she's never been seen as in the shadow of her bro MJ, she always had her own lane of greatness💯
Janet was in her forties in this video. And she wasn't necessarily in his shadow but always compared to him. Janet worked very hard to keep herself separate from her brother which is why Scream was their only collaboration because she didn't want people to say she got success off him and it's still the most expensive music video ever made and in the Guinness book of world records because of it. Janet's thickness is what made curves acceptable in the music industry. No one had breast and a butt like she did now it's more acceptable and everyone is building their bodies like Janet's is naturally. She's the original stallion, but when Janet came out (80s) up until the 2000s, mainstream music was all about showcasing flat chests and no curves because is was all white women being pushed by labels and that's the look they wanted to perpetuate. Their standard of beauty. People who don't know their history think the Kardashians invented "body" but no, Beyonce had curves on stage before them (even jlo at least had the butt before them) and Janet was way before Beyonce and jlo. In fact jlo was one of Janet's dancers. Checkout Janet's "that's the way love goes" video, jlo is in it.
I grew up in the late 80's and the whole of the 90's. I can assure you Janet was a force of her own. Yes they are siblings, but she definately was not in Michael's shadow. I lived it when they both were on the charts.
Nobody will ever surpass Michael Jackson, but Janet is made her mark and is an deigned. She as made a name for herself and she is one of the most successful female artist of all time. She is not living in Mikael's shadow. . When you think about Janet you don't think about Mike unless you look at her in a video, but she definitely as her own style and sound. Two different artist with two different styles who so happened to be r related.
As a huge fan of both Michael and Janet, and a level headed, non defensive, overly emotional one, I can attest that YES Janet has always been in Michael's shadow...how could she not be, her older brother is the King Of Pop who achieved world domination decades before her 1st hit. That doesn't mean that Janet wasn't a great artist, herself. It's a testament to her talent, determination and charisma that while in her brother's shadow, she still carved out her own lane and herself, became legendary.
I never looked at one of the most beautiful women in the world and think about Michael she already had a successful acting career when she was as young as Michael's was when he started out. She's the icon all on her own she don't need a brother she's got her own talent obviously.
Janet Jackson is a goat in her own right she has really made a name for herself aside from her brothers like I have said before I’m a big Micheal Jackson fan my X husband was and still is a Janet Jackson fan so many people same way …. I love Janet to but I will always have MJ at the top of my list my first crush was MJ first album ever Thriller album first fight I got into was over MJ lol
Janet Jackson in Michael's shadow? Young sirs, this is how we know ya'll young AF because no one believes that lol. If anything, Janet is one of the few artists that (at the time) could go toe to toe with Michael. And who even knows what else Janet, despite already being the Queen, would've been able to achieve if not for that whole superbowl incident.
janet is the only jackson that isn’t under michael’s shadow. this woman created an entire genre in the 80’s which everyone including michael used, influenced millions and opened the doors for some many female artists. her career is LEGENDARY but unfortunately the new generation doesn’t know anything due to the fact that she was blackballed in the music industry during the 2000s. she was one of the best selling artists of all time and she was also nominated for an oscar for best original song

I’m sorry y’all are wrong , if she was just in her brother shadow , don’t you think the other siblings would be just as huge . Janet is a legend made her own lane . Has won 5 Grammys countless of awards many #1s has sold over 200 million records . This song was a huge #1 hot 100 song in 2001 . No one says she’s in Micheal shadow she has influenced so many artist still today . Janet is huge worldwide. FYI she wasn’t trying to mj she’s in her own lane.
@j w they don’t know so I’m here to teach , I’m not going call names they don’t know . It’s up to us to teach .
They never said she "just" was in his shadow. She WAS in his shadow, bit also carved her own lane. Relax. That's the fact.
@@GalaxyNexus1 we said what we said
@@markmenez4097 congratulations. Then I said what I said. Your point?
@@markmenez4097 and like I said, they DIDN'T say what you said they said. That was just your defense mechanism doing the listening. 🤔
Janet was 35 here. With her 1998 album The Velvet Rope Janet was actually the highest paid entertainer at the time surpassing even Michael. Janet was huge until the superbowl incident. She was basically blacklisted after that and her career suffered greatly and never recovered.
Janet Jackson created her own path success she was never her brothers shadow she's the only Jackson sibling besides Michael to have a historical career every single artist you listen to on this channel are all inspired or influence by Janet Jackson this woman one of the biggest names in the planet.
Janet wasn’t seen as MJs Shadow. She has an insanely successful career. To put things in perspective MJ had 13 #1 hits and 30 Top 10 hits, Janet has had 10 #1 hits and 27 Top 10 hits.
Exactly!
To put it in REAL perspective, Michael has been recording since he was 10 and actually has 17 #1 Pop Hits. Janet has 10. As a solo artist, Michael is 5th place for #1s, while Janet is tied for 10th place with Stevie Wonder. Also, Fyi, charts were calculated differently beginning in the 90s, so Michael's charting/sales prior to that were not reflected in the manner sales began to be reflected thereafter. That aside, I could list a few pages worth of records, awards and accomplishments that Michael achieved over Janet. That's not the point. Why do people get so defensive when the facts are stated. Janet's impact and success paled in comparison to Michaels, but that's no knock at her. There never was and never will be another Michael Jackson. He's in a class of his own. Even though she was in his shadow for a very long time, she carved her own lane, career and is herself an icon. Both truths CAN coexist.
@@GalaxyNexus1 Janet had an amazing career and didn’t molest children soooo
@@ZacharyJPearse you're projecting your lifestyle onto Michael, sooooo.
@@ZacharyJPearse hmmm...you're sitting at home thinking about molestation....soooo
Michael's shadow? No. A legendary artist in her own right.
Agree…what a dumb question…
You can be both.
@@GalaxyNexus1 she was never in Michael’s shadow for me and lots of others. I never listened to Michael Jackson and when I heard Nasty on the radio I was blown away…so no there was no shadow.
@@riky456 you and many others are irrelevant. She wasn't performing for you and your friends. The discussion is regarding the grand scheme of things, not your personal relationship to her and her artistry. I never listened to Elton John and don't care for him, and there are many others that feel the same. My personal feelings toward him doesn't mean he's not an immensely successful artist. You think because I don't like Elton John that means his talent, impact and success doesn't exist? You not being aware of a shadow is just you not being aware. The fact that you have to type comments saying "no way, she's not in his shadow!" is literal evidence she's in his shadow. LOL. In no MJ reaction video will you find a reactor saying "Michael was always in Janet's shadow." Michael is always mentioned with Janet. Janet is not mentioned with Michael. 🤷♂️
@@GalaxyNexus1 I am annoyed at the commentators talking about MJ the whole time. He is suggesting her star didn’t shine on her own cuz MJs shadow was always dimming her light. That’s what that means. That’s not possible because Janet is an icon…if he did some research he would see she’s one of the most successful selling artists of all time. Her light shines bright despite your opinion that’s a fact. He was reacting to a Janet video…there was no reason to bring up her brother. Not sure why your bringing up Elton John…but you should check out Janets duet w Elton….look for the song “I know the truth”
And thanks for calling me irrelevant…I disagree. I’m quite relevant thank you very much. 💪😝
She was 35 here. Too, she made a distinct career in music and acting that was different from MJ. She even beat him at the Grammy's one year. I think people who grew up on both see them as different artists, like I know they're siblings of course but don't compare them bc they're so different.
janet jackson created her own lane her own legacy she never wanted to compete with michael or any of her siblings she's proved that she's more than michael's little sister for 35 years she has nothing to prove to anyone michael is michael and janet and janet yall need to learn the difference between them just cause they look alike don't mean they're each other.
she definitely created her own lane and legacy that many artist today try to copy.
If all it took to be successful in the music industry was to ride on Michael’s coattails, don’t you think Latoya, Rebbie, Tito, Randy, etc. would have had successful solo careers as well? Janet is successful because she’s a bad-ass, talented singer, dancer and performer.
@Fred E. School em
Thank you! It takes more than a name to be a success.
Janet also does have her own 4 hour/2 night documentary about her career that will be released in January 2022. A 1 minute teaser trailer which features brief clips of interviews from Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul, and her brother Tito Jackson as well as behind the scenes footage (including a brief clip of her and Michael working on writing their duet "Scream" as well as a brief clip of Tupac when they were on the set of Poetic Justice) was recently released and is something you could react to. The video is titled: "JANET" Documentary Teaser (Official).
You might have to watch the trailer more than once within the reaction if/when you guys react to it so you can truly grasp all the moments featured in the teaser trailer of the documentary. When the full trailer is released it will be longer/have more moments and you could react to that as well (imagine that full trailer will be released in late October or early November)
Definitely recommend watching and reacting to Janet's MTV Icon Special. There are multiple versions of the MTV Icon special on UA-cam but would say that the best edited/most similar to the original broadcast (the only major difference from the original broadcast is that the commercials are edited out) was uploaded by the user miss janet and is titled: Janet Jackson MTV Icon Full. The special is just over a hour long but instead of making a hour long reaction you guys could break up the reaction into 4 to 5 parts that are around 10 to 12 minutes long.
Janet is the main focus of the MTV Icon special but there are many celebrities who appear throughout the special. It really gives you a sense of how many people in the music industry she inspired/how big she was, a career overview for Janet (up until 2001 when the special was released), and helps you understand what Janet was going through behind the scenes during different points in her career (like her dealing with depression during the making of The Velvet Rope album). As others have mentioned Janet definitely created her own lane and inspired many musical acts. Many artist that you have reacted to on this channel have cited Janet as someone who inspired/influenced them. Just a few artists you've reacted to that at one time or another have said they were fans of Janet as well as cited Janet as an one of their musical influences/inspirations include Beyonce, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Aaliyah, Ciara, Normani, Usher, Bruno Mars, etc.
janet is THE mfin queeeeeen! periodt.
No way shes definitely not in his shadow. She established a legit career that everyone recognizes. She has a great catalogue, so many hits; shes his sister but she holds her own. She was 35 in this video
She was never in her brother's shadow. She was a superstar in her own right. Obviously the two most talented off the Jackson family!
I use to love this song growing up. And then when I got older. I said I can't believe my mama let me sing this song as a child. Ms Jackson was beyond nasty with it. 🤣
Janet was never Michael shadow she was even his competition in their careers and he was even inspired by his sister himself Janet is in the same league as her brother, Prince, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston etc when it comes to changing the game Janet a global legend she even upstarted the careers of multiple artists themselves.
She was right on his butt when she dropped that Rhythm Nation album 💀 That album was legendary. Made her a legend on the spot.
@@circusm139 Exactly
Facts, except never gave a damn about Madonna 😂
2:50 you NEED TO REACT to her Janet's MTV Icon Tribute to understand her influence Beyonce, usher and more made tributes to her
I already know yall getting dragged. And it's not just Janet fans, but ppl who are old enough to have been alive at the time and aware. But by that time Janet was definitely more than Michael's little sister, literally the song you just reviewed was her 10th #1 song and 28th top 10 hit. It appears yall have a lot of older viewers based on a lot of these video requests, ima need yall to do yall research and learn about these older artists, you will be surprised at what you find.
You nailed it
Even Michael himself was inspired by Janet. Legend recognizing another Legend. Talent runs deep in that family.
Janet Jackson was never Michael shadow don't know where that lie came from Janet is one of the biggest pop acts in history do y'all even know how hard it was for Janet to have her own career while her brother was dominating this industry? Janet made a career on her own and reach success Michael couldn't in his career she influence and inspired literally every single Pop and R&B girl and guys in existence y'all better recognize who Janet Jackson is she's important in music.
Janet was at one time higher in the charts than Michael Jackson however he did repass her again. When he released a new album. Funny people use to think they were the same person. It was crazy. U should react to there video together. Scream
As all the comments say, Jenet is a legend in her own right.
Janet was 34. Btw, there are people who don't even know Michael's music like that, but because they hear "oh he's the G.O.A.T., the best through social media and not by watching or experiencing his catalog of entertainment for themselves. They automatically praise him because that's what social media does. People be gas lighting his popularity and only heard one or 2 songs by him.
He is a legend, respectfully so. There are huge greats from the 80's and beyond, eras that are world wide known. The only difference that keeps people from putting them on a higher pedestal is the fact that Mike was performing professionally since he was very young. That just gave him more years in the game.
Was everything he put out good? No. Every artist will have songs or even albums that dud, but still, their hits make up for their misses.
Janet had 2 albums before Control debuted, but they weren't commercial successes. After Control...every album hit the ground running.
Her biggest albums were : Control, Rhythm Nation 1814, Janet and Velvet Rope. A little bit of sexism plays a part in people always putting her in Michael's shadow as well.
Don't believe me? Ask a man if Beyonce is the Michael Jackson of this era and they will not even pause to say no, yet they barely know any of her discography because she's a woman and they are too macho to dig into her catalog and be real about it.
Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna, George Michael, Janet Jackson. These were the legends that shaped most of the popular music genre of the late 20th century.
Janet is a Juggernaut in her own right. She has been an inspiration, especially to little black girls who got to witness a female black pop icon (and a Jackson, no less) show that we deserve representation too.
Michael AND Janet were the only 2 Jacksons keeping their family legacy going for 2 and a half decades. They ruled the 90's and Janet kept it strong for the early 2000's, til she walked away from it for a long while. And, NO....JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, WE STILL HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN HOW HE HELPED F**K IT UP FOR HER!
i absolutely agree with the comments that janet is a legend and beyond in her own right but i don't think anyone should be blamed for not knowing that... her legacy was tarnished hence why so people aren't aware of her immense popularity
Well they need to do research or just shut up🤷🏾♀️..
She was the Beyoncé of her time , not in anyone’s shadow.
they’re so uncultured I cannot 😭😭😭
LOL
So many young reactors are though. It’s like they don’t know the stages in which music evolved from the 70s disco funk to hip hop rap grunge electronic etc etc and with said the artists that also changed the way music is seen today. So many reactors just assume the ones on the charts today are the ones who invented it. So off
@@peepee2922 for real ! It’s very annoying 😭
@@peepee2922 I hear you, thats why I suggested they go on wikipedia and do some research etc.
@@mrbrownroyyal or just watch like an evolution of music from the 60s to present. I dunno how the hell I even know about 70s/80s music. -but the fact is-I DO -and I’m very much not into today’s shit I hear blasting out these iPhones
They too young to understand how big she was
No she is not Michael's shadow stop. 😆
That statement was soooo wrong. Janet was not in her brother Michael Jackson’s shadow. That irresponsible statement was made because you don’t know the REAL HISTORY of Ms. Janet Jackson-Damita Jo. Janet has created her own lane and has inspired a countless number of Artist. Janet is still a visionary, sex symbol, trendsetter, humanitarian, actress, dancer, a mother and ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTIST IN THE ENTIRE 🌎 . Janet is ICONIC. A LIVING LEGEND. Janet was not under her brothers shadow because she had her own light that shined and transcended around the globe and beyond. HER FANS ARE MAD BECAUSE YOUR STATEMENT WAS NOT FACTUAL.
SHES a legend in her own lane
She was never his competition. Janet is Janet and Michael is Michael!!
Mf classic. Janet Jackson was born for this. So much love for her. ❤ thanks for reacting to this song yall. Yall never disappoint
Janet Jackson signed the largest contract in history for 32 million in 1991 for both male and female recording artists, Michael Jackson included. Then later virgin records signed her for 80 million in 1996 .Michael later signed a larger contract after her. She also is in the Guinness book of records for having number one albums in each of the last 4 decades along with Barbara Streisand and Bruce Springsteen. Those are only a few of her accomplishments as well as her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In his shadow? Janet was bigger than Michael in the 90s and 00s. 💀 In fact, this song was #1 for two months on the Billboard Hot 100
Isn't its funny how they said that. One of the top female artist of all time and set and broke many records which today, still hasn't been done and they think she was in Michael shadow. LMAO.
I think you guys are mistaken… Janet Jackson has 10 no. 1 singles, 7 no. 1 albums (3 being eligible for diamond status) 27 top 10 hits, the biggest debut tour of any artist, signed the biggest recording contract in history TWICE, only artist to have 7 Top 5 hits off one album, billboard ranked her no. 7 of there 100 artists, beating out Michael at no. 8… in fact Janet was such a celebrity in the 90s that people didn’t even refer to her as his sister, and he even used her star power to bring his public image back up. Y’all need a history lesson because y’all are wrong. Stop playing with Janet
I never thought of Janet to be living under Michael's shadow.... she had songs that clearly put her on the map and maybe the case that she and Michael were both making their names on music industry side by side (which they did and they made an impact) but no, Janet is a legend because she got there herself.
"At that time, you were really limited to the graphics."
LOL, they're acting like 2001 was the old west.
Janet was literally blacklisted after the Super Bowl fiasco in 2004. So that's 17 years of people not hearing or learning about this legend, unless current artists who were kids when she was a megastar do tributes to her at award shows. Choose whatever female pop/rnb artist from the 2000s that used a head mic and did intricate choreography...Janet paved the way for them.
Janet literally made her own lane. Y'all gotta react to Scream with Michael and Janet
That song is So Refreshing..
Janet has like 10 number one singles and is one of the biggest female pop artists of all time. She's def an icon in her own right
Everybody is under Michael's shadow PERIOD!
But Janet is much respected because she carved a success of her own the other Jacksons couldn't
She's the blueprint alongside Madonna to change the female game forever
No, Janet hasn’t been in Micheals shadow (MUSICALLY) since 1986 when she released Control and carved her own lane - blew that lane wide open with 89 Rhythm Nation and by the time we were at 93’s janet. she started creating freeways and bypasses’ for future performers. You have to remember that Janet is the first black child star on a prime time network tv show as Penny on Good Times along with roles on Different Steokes and Fame. Janet was already doing her own thing in acting before her father told her to do music - The only reason younger generations don’t know about her is because she was blacklisted after the Super Bowl. So removed from radio, early 2000’s was when MTV, VH1 and BET we’re shifting away from music videos (thanks to Viacom) so that left her with not many promotional outlets- however throughout it the years the ban seems to be lifted from main stream press and she’s about to come hard in 2022👏🏾
Janet has been making her own path since she was a child. She's been acting since she was 10 years old. She was an actress on Good Times for 2 seasons. She's also been in films Poetic Justice (with Tupac), The Nutty Professor 2, Why Did I Get Married (1 AND 2), and FOR COLORED GIRLS. She recorded 8 albums, won 5 Grammys, 10 MTV VMAs, and 11 Billboard awards. And they didn't give them to her because she's "MJ's Sister' Maybe you feel that she's in his shadow because you aren't familiar with her career.
Janet wasn’t in Michael’s shadow. She was doing better than him in the 90’s at a certain point. Her career and influence are a special thing all their own. If you really study how many people reference her looks and concepts, She’s the true Queen of pop.
Janet was always in her own lane. She didn’t fall under Michael at all. She did her own thing on her own and became one the biggest female artist ever. She’s the blueprint to many female artist. She writes, produces her own music. She’s an awesome artist.
Janet is a ICON not a shadow. Google her.
I love Janet Jackson and Britney Spears they are on fire. #dance
Actually, the only reason she appears to be in his shadow now is because so much of the new generation doesn’t know about her after she was blacklisted from the Super Bowl and today. But early on in her career, she tried very hard to get out of Michael’s shadow. Which she did eventually. That’s when she created the album “Janet.” Removing the last name to show independence. That’s why even though Michael wanted to work for her a long time, she refused to do it until she felt like she established her own lane. That’s when she decided to do Scream with him. and actually she eclipsed his stardom at one point. You could see her insulin even last night at the mtv vmas when Norman’s performance paid tribute to her. Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Normani, Ciara, Rihanna’s, etc. all credit Janet as a major influence. We all call Janet The Blueprint.
She is an icon equal to her brother. She was the first artist to sign an unprecedented record deal $80 million dollar for four albums with Virgin records. Janet also managed a seven week run at number 1 with her hit single “That’s The Way Love Goes”. He may have sold more albums overall but she’s had much more success with Billboard Hot 100; not to mention she has been successful in tv & films.
Yes you right right man. There are a lot of greats and icons, such as Janet Jackson.
Janet is incredible.
But nobody can surpass Michael Jackson.
He’s the greatest of all time.
Shine & shine on forever King
We love you
“That’s the Jackson shine”
She has never been in Michael's shadow. She carved out her own lane and is still inspiring other female artists to this day.
In the 90's Janet was the more influential figure in pop culture. That's why Michael wanted her on 'Scream'. Talent wise, Michael is one of the greatest.
Janet is THAT woman and definitely not in MJ’s shadow. It’s unfortunate that the Super Bowl incident tarnished her legacy but now the younger generation are beginning to take notice on all accomplishments. She’s MJ’s sister, but she’s def in her own lane. Great reaction video!
Definitely a incredibly talented artist in her own right and has influenced other artists that came after her such as Aaliyah, Britney Spears, Ciara, Tinashe, and Victoria Monet are some people that come to my mind.
Guys, just started watching your videos tonight and enjoying your vibe. Just answer your question, no she was never in Michael’s shadow. That’s just not the way we thought about it. The Jacksons were a musical family and many of them were famous in their own right. Some of the siblings started as an incredibly popular group in the 70s called the Jackson 5. Michael and Janet shared similarities musically. But, nobody thought that she was copying him in anyway. Maybe you guys started out by hearing Michael, and so you see the similarities and think she’s emulating him. But they truthfully emulated each other.
She's definitely not in his shadow, at all. She's in a lane all her own. She has records that rival her brothers.
SHE WAS IN HIS SHADOW, BUT EVEN WHEN SHE BECAME AN ICON/ LEGEND PEOPLE STILL LOVE TO DISCREDIT HER AND NOT GIVE HER HER TENS.
She was 35 years old in the video
Shadow? Y'all must not know Ms.Janet If You're Nasty Jackson! Janet definitely was NOT in her brothers shadow...but their other siblings were. Janet is an ICON and she is ALOT of pop stars inspiration and influence from Britney Spears, Jlo, Ciara, Mya to Normani! Janet IS THE BLUEPRINT for female pop stars & female kpop stars if you want to get technical!
No, her and Michael were in similar but different lanes. I was a competitive dancer and Michael and Janet are both 2 of the most idolized artists for dancers, and she went out of her way to cast dancers that were unknown and not signed to an agency, she was kinda legendary for the dance world and what she did for it.
She is a legend. They are both in a league of their own
She was 35 years old that was back in 2001
the nostalgia this evokes. i swear on god being a teen at this time was incomparable and its something ill forever be grateful for.
I think the wording is off, she is not in his shadow, however Flacko you're right by saying that no one has surpassed MJ, so I think it's unfair to compare Janet to him, when many other big artists like Janet herself, Mariah, Whtiney, Madonna, Prince etc will never surpass him. So let's give Janet her props for being successful in her own right coming out of a family which produced the Jackson 5 and MJ! and herself!
Facts, if MJ is the standard EVERYBODY is in his shadow.
She is her own person. An icon. She was more successful than him for many years.
Y’all need to do more Janet Jackson reaction vids omg 🤧😭😭😭😭
She's a superstar in her own right...she's not evening Michael's ''shadow''...Truth be told....Michael's lookin' at her like: ''Alright sis!!!''🤗🥰💖🔥💯👏🏽🙌🏽
thank you for doing there videos I can't say it enough that the king of pop and his sister Janet are artist like no other
As somehow who was growing up at that time, NO Janet was NOT in his shadow, but even a competitor. Yes, he held the top spot, but Prince, Madonna, Janet, Whitney and (later) Mariah were all breathing down his neck most of the time. She's a legend in her own right! And keep in mind, this song came out in 2001, well after he'd begun to decline, so....
I grew up loving both. Never compared them to each other. Their music bought smiles to my heart equally♥️♥️♥️
Janet Jackson is not MJ Shadow she is her own Shadow she’s the queen of pop music she is killing it after 34 years now go Janet 🔥
If anything Janet has been underrated as an overall performer as the years has past, however she's never been seen as in the shadow of her bro MJ, she always had her own lane of greatness💯
Janet was in her forties in this video. And she wasn't necessarily in his shadow but always compared to him. Janet worked very hard to keep herself separate from her brother which is why Scream was their only collaboration because she didn't want people to say she got success off him and it's still the most expensive music video ever made and in the Guinness book of world records because of it.
Janet's thickness is what made curves acceptable in the music industry. No one had breast and a butt like she did now it's more acceptable and everyone is building their bodies like Janet's is naturally. She's the original stallion, but when Janet came out (80s) up until the 2000s, mainstream music was all about showcasing flat chests and no curves because is was all white women being pushed by labels and that's the look they wanted to perpetuate. Their standard of beauty. People who don't know their history think the Kardashians invented "body" but no, Beyonce had curves on stage before them (even jlo at least had the butt before them) and Janet was way before Beyonce and jlo. In fact jlo was one of Janet's dancers. Checkout Janet's "that's the way love goes" video, jlo is in it.
Janet was 34 in this video.
Janet was asked about her abs on interviews. Not really her booty and her curves like Beyoncé and JLo were
I grew up in the late 80's and the whole of the 90's. I can assure you Janet was a force of her own. Yes they are siblings, but she definately was not in Michael's shadow. I lived it when they both were on the charts.
She was 34 years of age when this music video premiered In the spring of 2001.
iconic!
Oh and this song All For You was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart for 7 weeks. Just saying.
Everyone is clear MJ is untouchable but is solid bonified superstar on her own.
She’s a icon in her own right. Period. 💕 she ain’t no shadow lolz.
I'm as in love watching this every time I see it as I was when it premiered. 😍
love so much janet... she can make us dance asf
Janet was 34 during this time
I love your Janet Jackson reaction videos!
Nobody will ever surpass Michael Jackson, but Janet is made her mark and is an deigned. She as made a name for herself and she is one of the most successful female artist of all time. She is not living in Mikael's shadow. . When you think about Janet you don't think about Mike unless you look at her in a video, but she definitely as her own style and sound. Two different artist with two different styles who so happened to be r related.
As a huge fan of both Michael and Janet, and a level headed, non defensive, overly emotional one, I can attest that YES Janet has always been in Michael's shadow...how could she not be, her older brother is the King Of Pop who achieved world domination decades before her 1st hit. That doesn't mean that Janet wasn't a great artist, herself. It's a testament to her talent, determination and charisma that while in her brother's shadow, she still carved out her own lane and herself, became legendary.
She wasn’t..
React to Janet Jackson-That’s The Way Love Goes &. If (HD Live VMA’s)
You guys should definitely check out her video for "If." 🔥
I never looked at one of the most beautiful women in the world and think about Michael she already had a successful acting career when she was as young as Michael's was when he started out. She's the icon all on her own she don't need a brother she's got her own talent obviously.
She was never in Michael shadow she is a icon who inspired generations of women /Men and people who live to dance
We love us some Janet!
FALSE, JANET MISS JACKSON IF YOUR NASTY. She is her own MEGA super 🌟
Janet Jackson is a goat in her own right she has really made a name for herself aside from her brothers like I have said before I’m a big Micheal Jackson fan my X husband was and still is a Janet Jackson fan so many people same way …. I love Janet to but I will always have MJ at the top of my list my first crush was MJ first album ever Thriller album first fight I got into was over MJ lol
Janet Jackson in Michael's shadow? Young sirs, this is how we know ya'll young AF because no one believes that lol. If anything, Janet is one of the few artists that (at the time) could go toe to toe with Michael. And who even knows what else Janet, despite already being the Queen, would've been able to achieve if not for that whole superbowl incident.
