Everything, really.
I really thought Michael was close to her
@@Just_niaxx yeah that saddened me too. Although I still believe his relationship with his mother and Janet was still somewhat strong even after Thriller compared to the other siblings
That Michael Jackson is and always was innocent
)0
Janet has been given every issue a woman deals with through life. Bad relationships, weight, betrayal, family struggles. I love her. Admire her. Respect her. She has always been an inspiration to me.
I feel the same way about Janet Jackson.
Wow. Nuff said.
@@bluemcclure She denied dating Bobby Brown but in the documentary she admitted she had a habit of dating guys with drug problems
Cheek implants are something every woman has to deal with .
She did. She didn’t address the baby, though.
Janet is the pioneering queen of music
"I don't like the weight of that negativity around me."
- Janet Jackson
I appreciated this video. Michael’s death was the worst for me. 🥺 I am a Jackson fanatic!! If I could dance with her one day. It would be an honor!
What a remarkable, beautiful and talented soul! How I admire and respect her. So tough and yet so fragile. Like her ethereal brother, may he rest in peace. Artists. Artistes. Mesmerizing, mystical, memorable...why do we so savagely ravage them?
Honestly, the vast majority of what was in the documentary was already known by most Janet fans. The things we really wanted to know she kept to herself. She didn't truly address the secret daughter issue. Glossed over that. Didn't address the Bobby Brown affair while being engaged, didn't cover being married for exactly five years to her baby's father which the prenup specifically awarded her 100 million for those five years with more if she had a child and she didn't give any insight on all of her plastic surgery etc. The documentary was a glossed over chaotically edited mash up in my opinion. She could have just kept to herself as usual and not teased her fans with that documentary. Also, what she revealed could have been done in a one part 40 minute slot. Just saying.
The facts she took alll the heat for the Super Bowl thing, makes her such a strong woman, I look up to her so much she is incredible
yep, and willingly too. She let Justin go off the hook, he didn't bother to stand by her.
@@janeenharrison1953 she didn't really have a choice at that time
Considering what song it was, today he would have been held responsible. I never understood how it was "her fault."
It pisses me off they she was disinvited to the Grammys but Justin wasn't?????
She did nothing wrong.
I just remember a lot of ppl saying "she flashed a tit"...so what? Erm hello...madonna
It’s so disgusting that people forget that celebrities are human and have human problems and emotions
Me too🥺
I don't mind celebrities being human but don't try and rule us with your liberal life styles. If your talented and make a living with your talents fine. But when you get out here and think like the real elites who actually control things I don't want to here nothing you have to say. So Janet keeps to herself and just uses her voice to support her life style. I can appreciate that.
Oh whaahh, the poor celebrities. They know what they're getting into trust me. It's 2022 can we stop with the celebrity obsession and worship?
@@jsully8076 nobody knows what they’re getting into until they are in it, who knew those things were going to happen to her, she certainly did not. We can enjoy people’s work and not obsess over them at the same time.
Yes I agree with you and Janet is very normal,nice and caring
The message that the documentary gave to everyone:
LEAVE JANET AND MICHAEL ALONE!!
“Stop fuckin with me, makes me want to scream!!!”
@@MsJonessss “stop pressuring me.”
With such collusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize' within the scheme
Agreed.
@@andria8279 "makes me wanna scream".
All of Janet's albums are charting again and she's still here with us!!
Janet deserves EVERYTHING. All the love, the happiness, the apologies.
Bad media/ paparazzis have done her dirty for far too long.
Mj too
Yes!! Amen!! We love you Janet!!!
But that was pre-fake news
Her voice and Michael's is so similar. Soft-spoken
And light hearted siblings who never overthrew each other.
Very similar. It's as if they have the same mother and father. 🤔🤔
@@MrReedGrantberry gee you think? Over your head
Yeah, if you close your eyes, it could be Michael.
All of them have soft voices.
It was really hard to watch the director ask Katherine if she wanted to talk about Michael, and she replied, “I can’t.” When she then almost teared up, I almost teared up right along with her.
That was Janet who asked at that moment.
@@kishikcm I think it was actually the director, but I’ll have to rewatch it.
@@COMPFUNK2 it was s Janet she said and I quote "Mother, how do you feel about talking about Michael?"
I 😥 at that part
That part crushed me.
She won a music/icon award in South Korea. The MAMA award. The equivalent of the Grammy's. Y'all! She won an award in South Korea!! The only American artist to do so! She's amazing🥰
Wow
Love Janet ❤️
Facts! She was also famous in Philippines
She did?…I didn’t know that.
Janet is notoriously private so her documentary was refreshing and kept me on the edge of my seat. I can see why she and Rene didnt' work out and why she fell in love with Jermaine Dupri. She is an icon and I'm glad we can celebrate her while she's here. Thanks for posting!
Agreed. I always though Rene was good for Janet’s career in that he knew how to create imagery and a persona the public would respond to. However I had no idea how obnoxious and controlling he was. Seems like he could have possibly had some sociopathic tendencies.
I was disappointed in the documentary i just wanted to hear about mike but she didn’t say anything crayz
@@adua78 He was the typical manipulative man who took advantage of the fragility of a woman with low self-esteem. Janet's old dancers said his control over her was insane. From appearance to her interactions. Janet couldn't be far from his eyes. This is sick as fuck. This doc must not have explained 1/3 of how problematic this relationship was. But I have to admit he was a genius as your creative partner.
Gosh I said that's too pretty.
@@IvanDiaz-fl6ff This was not about Michael, her name is JANET.
Janet is what I call a real hero. She endured a whole lot and she still Standing tall and embraced her femininity the entire time.
Want nothing more for Janet ,but Joy & Happiness ..peace
Her last words to Michael being "I love you" is so precious. A lot of people don't get to have that
Janet deserved so much more than what she was given in this world
agreed, she should have deserve more respect!
Hey, I love Janet and all...but I disagree! I mean, think about it...She's FILTHY rich! She got inducted into the Rock and roll hall of fame. She won HELLA grammy's (along with many other accolades an'shit), She finally had a child at 50 (ect, ect, ect...)... I think she got WAY more than majority of society EVER WILL RECEIVE IN THEIR WHOLE ENTIRE EXISTENCE! She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth as a black person in america! What the hell more can anyone ask for?! (P.S. I'm black btw for anyone who has a problem with my last aforementioned sentence). :D
They all do esp Mike
@@ielijahmccoy don’t have a problem with your last aforementioned sentence, just that the world be more equal place if we by now do expect some black people to be born with silver spoons in their mouth, about time that we see black kids can get lucky too..
@@summydots the only reason why she has a “silver spoon” is literally because she’s famous, she still had to go through racism and being a child star and a celebrity is overwhelming.. especially after Michael’s allegations it was also hard for her at that time dealing with that- she literally got bashed by her black features, the way she acts and shit like that🌚
Janet did some incredible stuff and she should be recognized for all of it. I really hope that her new album will be respected and pop off the charts now. Cause music nowadays has become stagnant
When is that album?
@@tianapitesr8553 It's rumoured to be coming out this year after it was delayed in 2020. If you watched the documentary she featured a new song on it that was supposed to be coming out after it but, we're unsure as of right now. So far all we seem to be getting is the relaunch of all her music videos, and hopefully Twenty Foreplay as well which has disappeared off of streaming for some reason
Janet married men who were controlling like her father. It looks like she and Jermaine are still friends. That was the relationship I was cheering for, but he went and cheated😩
Hurd THT!!
That whole NippleGate drama was so blown out of proportion. The media should be ashamed of themselves!
When you think of a not a eye being raised at Cardi b and her WAP crew shows just how times have changed.
@@soniaharrison1016 No, they talked about WAP for weeks. The conservatives were livid. Where were you?
Yeah so ridiculous how the media blow it out of proportion. It's a nipple who cares. It wouldn't be a story if it were a men's nipple. Admire Janet what an awesome and resilient person :)
And the politicians ate it up, especially Republicans
@sonia harrison I missed hearing and seeing everything about Cardi B and her WAP crew shows. I have to Google this!
She is probably one of the nicest people in the industry she just seems so lovely! I felt such sadness from her the most of the way through this documentary she deserves so much more
After this documentary. I have the most high respect for this woman. She is the Queen no matter what else people say (in my eyes) that was the best documentary I've ever seen by a Artist. It was put so well together by her and her brother Randy.
@Denis F totally agree with you, this was the best I have ever seen and I am 70 years old This woman is just a pure human being. One if my takeaways was how much the media made us believe that this was a family that hated each other and that they were some oddity. This just proved otherwise, they are no different than my family or yours except for their musical talent.
It was good but unfortunately edited badly on some places it was posted
@@keithcunningham3131 unfortunately so, here in NZ the edited parts were where she speaks in support of her brother Michael. Didn't see any of those segments on TV, just fortunate to catch them on FB afterwards.
Her documentary could not have come at a better time. She's a legend and it's good that she's still making music and still a person radiating light and not some bitter, brittle, jaded, resentful star. She has a quiet resilience that can be misconstrued as weak or shy, but we all know Ms. Jackson is fierce!! Can't wait for her new music.
I agree! Glad that Billy Jean is STILL #1🥰
❤😢truth
How much you wanna bet the same people in that neighborhood that tormented them are saying now, “I knew the Jackson’s” 🙄
nah frl
Janet just seems like a very down to earth lady. I know she's super private about her personal life. She has been through so much and is such a survivor and a true role model. Not too mention one of the greatest artists of the last 40 years, of not all-time. And I am so tired of her taking all the heat and blame of the Super Bowl fiasco and wondering when people will start laying responsibility at the feet of where a lot of it belongs. On Justin.
Keep fighting the good fight Ms. Jackson! You are so desperately loved!
Jackson or not Janet is an icon in her own right. I empathize with her regarding the loss of Michael. I lost someone special to me years ago and the pain never goes away fully.
I lost my oldest brother 32 years ago.
I understand her pain.
The Jackson’s are how she even got in the door. What are you talking about
😢❤✌🏽✌🏿🫱🏾🫲🏼🫱🏽🫲🏿🫶🏽🌻🙏🏽 Janet and Michael are both on hun own ICONS, if Janet not jonger as Michael was, there are like twins. Same ideas, same meaning. There both strong and both shy. But there music tells us all. I love Janet and Michael there both number one. I have seen the documentary, much tears in my eyes 😢 and happy that's Janet this documentary has made. I have my own comment written here, but I have can much more writing ✍️ only my Americans/English is not completely good I learned on my own. Love Peace Hope Heal Care and never forget after the Name are real humans ❤️ with love Claudia-Paris 💋
@@ceeceedior21 she would have made it regardless
Its incredible hoy Justin timberlake was hardly criticized and janet blacklisted.... The Misogyny of the industry...... Janet always has held her head high.... She inspires hard working women who have to prove themselves harder than men have to.... My respects to a great singer, amazing dancer and incredible actress ❤️❤️.... A complete artist
Thank you!! She was crucified, blacklisted and pretty much boycotted nearly into ruin while Timberlake had the gall to co-opt Michael Jackson and move on to even greater success. She was hung out to dry while he pretty much avoided any fire (partly due to his being advised to or partly himself to sidestep the issue) . That really nearly undid everything she had done up to that moment, which just shows how "supportive' the music industry really is. She called it, named it, read it and still moved on.
It's racism too
You remember she was supposed to play Lena Horne but apparently a white boy pulling off a pin was offensive .I was never a Timberlake fan and how he treated her and Britney spears really made me see he was a douchebag a-hole
Because Justin went and paid homage to Les Moonves. Les Moonves went easier on Justin because of the old boys network. Janet made her apology to her fans and that angered Les Moonves, because Janet didn’t bow down.
Forget misogyny… if she were a white woman would have been different
1. I’m still side-eyeing Justin Timberlake.
2. Janet Jackson has handled so much drama and controversy with so much grace, dignity and class.
3. She truly look like she wanted to cry when talking about people thinking she was hiding a secret baby and keeping the baby away from its father. She seemed truly hurt that people thought she would do something like that.
4. I’m glad to know that she had a close relationship with Michael Jackson. There’s so many reports that Michael didn’t have close relationships with his siblings as he got older and that’s obviously simply not true.
Janet is such an icon and a really incredible and kind woman. The whole Super Bowl fiasco was so misogynistic and unfair, shame on the people who went out of their way to blacklist and shame her at that time.
Yes I agree
Agreed. She was literally the victim and the world victim shamed her for that
Especially since all the commercials were for Dick pills or Sexy ads for products.
It was a stunt and it backfired and then they pretended it was an accident
Still pisses me off that she was vilified for the nipple incident. She was not alone in that.
She seems like such a sweet lady. It’s unfortunate they have to worry about people liking them for who they are instead of what they are.
I m so happy for Janet that she shared her stories, clears out the rumors from her narrative and words. Like not many people were aware of how she had to face all the uncomfortable situations and racism, how the allegations affected her as well, if she didn't share them probably we would have never known. Wish MJ could do the same. Like how many people know that same Coca-Cola turned down MJ for endorsement because of his race in the early 80s( the reason why Mike was signed with Pepsi later) ?!? How many people know that MJ was arrested for driving a Rolls Royce, the officer thought the car was stolen because a young black teen was driving such an expensive car?! Mike was the biggest star on earth but yet the world doesn't know the real MJ story, they only know the media and tabloid version of MJ.
I did a presentation in my English class, I talked about the meaning in his music, his lifestyle and even why he changed his skin colour. I got a lot of hate for that because it was not long after he died. Got accused of only liking him now he passed (I liked his music through my childhood because of my mum listening to it). People really didn't know about him and judged on what was in the media. They still do to this day. People don't realise how tough he had things, especially his younger years...
You somewhat can know about Michael life in his words with his books Moonwalk and Dancing the Dream but it only extends to the 80s and early 90s.
@@fergieson32 exactly, so sad to hear that you got a lot of hate for that 😔. This is why we need a factual documentary about MJ even though he is not here to tell his story but the people who knew him personally like his niece, nephews, people who worked with him for a very long time like his securities, and managers.
@@fergieson32 People are just now understanding vitiligo and even just embracing it as "beautiful".
Reminds me of how Diana Ross and all the early Motown stars were treated. They were HUGE stars, but still had to enter restaurants through the back doors AND were denied staying at local hotels during their tours. They often had to stay with close family and friends.
I just watched the documentary in Australia and it's worth noting that some of the scenes where Janet spoke in Michaels's defense were removed. There's some discussion going on about it in local fan groups.
Yes I was surprised and annoyed to discover this,
I'm in NZ.
Really?
They probably didn't manage to attain the copyright clearance on those particular clips for the mentioned region.
@@dharkknight4747 since my earlier post at least one of the scenes in question has been added.
Some of the segments that were deleted appear to gave been added now in NZ.
I watched this documentary and when she said "How can i keep a child from her father" i teared up because i felt it and she was so honest and pure
What?wait…huh?what??
@@Authencia exactly! Every time they (the entire family) spoke about Janet and the baby, none of them could look into the camera. They all dropped their heads and looked away from the camera.
@@magnew2004 that was so out of the context
Mmmmh...but Eisa was being kept from Wissam at some point...her baby's father.
@@sirianna2150 How do u know???? Mind ur fuckin BUSINESS!!!!
Going to night clubs in the 80s and dancing to Janet Jackson was everything.
YES, and the Mpls. Producers Terry and Jimmy really helped get that dancing sound!! She needed to get out of L.A. and Escapade to the Minneapolis music scene at that time.
One of the most important figures in music love I love Janet Jackson ❤
I had no idea the industry was so unforgiving about the Superbowl situation. I assumed that they would have gotten over it as quickly as the public did. I'm glad she exposed the hypocrisy of it all.
I grew up with the Jackson 5 and my heart breaks everytime I hear what their lives were really like. They were so young, beautiful and supremely talented. Seeing what happened to all of them, especially Michael, it's tough to watch those early clips. I think Janet, as well as Randy and Tito, are way too kind with regards to their father. I also agree that Janet should not have been the one taking heat over the Super Bowl performance. I hope Janet is happy and at peace in her life.
Indeed that was sad. It was a dress malfunction! Why would just one person be blamed and canceled for that. The industry did her wrong by canceling her ticket to attend the awards. It wasn’t right; not fair at all.
I am so glad that Janet FINALLY said her peace about her life. Janet has always been so private and so much has been allowed to be said, rumored and misconstrued about about her so it's really great to hear from her exactly how she truly felt about things and get her perspective. I have always been a fan and always will be of this very talented living legend .
❤🙏🏽🫶🏽🫱🏽🫲🏿🫱🏾🫲🏼yes finally. 😢 know I understand very good why all is happening. I have written a comment. It is🤫🤫🫢🫣 .........😢❤ love peace hope ❤️ I'm fan of both Janet also Michael. There both are the best of the best. But many 😢see not the human behind the NAME😢😢😢 with love Claudia-Paris 💋🌎🌻🙏🏽🫶🏽🫱🏽🫲🏿🫱🏾🫲🏼❤️
Promise I am not a social justice warrior but you are perpetuating and still calling it the "Janet wardrobe malfunction" when it should be the "Justin ripping of Janet's bra"... SMH.
He was supposed to. It’s just the boob weren’t supposed to fall out. That was the malfunction
@@classyboy04 yeah, what he did was really an accident
He was originally supposed to rip off her skirt and she still have pants on but the skirt kept falling off in rehearsal so she changed it to her top he was supposed to rip off the black piece and the red lace stay on but when he did it the red piece came off too they also only practiced this once before performing it was a wardrobe malfunction it wasn't either of their fault it was an accident
She didn't need Justin Timberlake to sing with her at the Super Bowl...she had enough star power by herself.
There were tines when growing up with Michael's music then Janet's and hearing the terrible stress they lived under I wished I could have offered that hand of friendship they so craved. I knew that would never happen because they were famous but we seemed to live parallel lives that made me wish I could reach out to them. So there fame preventing ordinary people like myself offering a genuine friendship. Fame had never meant anything to me so we all missed out in the name of fame. Love to Janet and I hope she can live the rest of her live with love and happiness to surround her. Her brother was an amazing person and just died far too young. Bless you Janet xx
I love Janet Jackson. Her voice, music, and breathtaking performances just show how talented she is and how big her heart is for her craft. Her music is my go to playlist whenever I just want to relax and enjoy my "me" time. I hope that more people get to appreciate her. Pure talent, pure awesomeness! ☺️❤️
I always hated how the industry and everyone treated her and Michael. Still hate it. As a little girl, Ik people were trying to hurt and sabotage them and it angered me. I didn’t have to watch the video to know that people were coming in the way of the family, breaking them apart and breaking them down. Smh I’m still angry. I still love Michael and Janet forever and always. Forget the media
Empress Of Pop ✨
Janet is inspiration and proof no matter what ish one throws at you you can come out as complete different person , who is stronger ... I love her and her music
Janet has been dope since day one. Yes, we all knew who she was, but I never thought of her as Michael's sister. I always thought of her as Janet Jackson, a superstar of her own talent. Her vibe, her songs, her look and her choreography are all her own. I have always known however, that she misses Michael deeply.
exactly, this is all so true! they are related but she is Michael's sister just as much as he is Janet's brother!
Janet Jackson is a living legend one of the biggest music acts to ever live she is a very private individual and don't follow trends and was never desperate for attention and media like to tell lies and make up stories about her which is sick.
@lol posted this exact same comment.
No she never followed trends. She SET trends!!! 💯💯
I liked Michael's music, but I LOVED everything Janet did.
I love both but Mj a little more
Same
I love everything about mj tbh I don't listen too Janet a lot but she's fire
Honestly I was wondering what Janet and Michael’s last moments was like since 2009 so I’m glad it has finally been answered
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Little Sis endured a lot and I mean a lot behind the scenes it was good that she was so private with her life can you imagine what the media would have done to her especially with her relationships just goes to show you that true love is not easy for some...along with being successful everyone just wants to be loved...God Bless Janet Jackson!
Michael, Janet both are icons, and both struggled throughout their lives. Media fucked both of them (more to Michael) I Love them, and i am proud to stan them.
same.
This documentary really made me appreciate her so much more. She is a true legend.
She is so beautiful that documentary made me cry! The Jackson women are gorgeous ❤️ you can see the pain in her face and the longing for her big brother in her voice.. 🥺 R.I.P Micheal Jackson 🙏🏽
“Stay close to friends, kept in touch with family”
Let that sink in
I like that quote
It's surreal how Ms. Janette Jackson looks and sounds like her brother Michael
Janet*
I was only 8 during the time of the Super Bowl scandal. Looking back, I don’t understand why it was such a big deal ? It was an accident 😩
You should've had a picture of just her. Feels like clickbait with a picture of Michael (too). Conferming things she said about wanting to be her own person and not just His sister. 🙄🤔😒 She's amazing, just as she is 🙌🏾
I love Janet as she definitely is her own woman. But Michael is literally the most famous man that has ever and will ever walk the planet, he's also considered the best and most talented by alot or most people. Like I said, Janet is her own talented and extremely gifted person...But when you are siblings with the literal Michael Jackson it's hard to navigate through the music industry. Janet obviously deserves her attention though-Don't get me wrong, Michael deserves all the attention and respect he's getting, because he's a legend and the best out of the family and everyone else in my opinion-But Janet deserves love to. It's hard for people to look past Michael Jackson and focus on Janet Jackson, I could see why lol. He's basically the most influential and like I said famous and believed most talented artist so I understand the thumbnail. I do agree with you though, Janet deserves her time to shine. Even though Michael Jackson is a unbelievably big and unforgettable name, people need to pay attention to Janet Jackson as well.
THE BLUEPRINT 🐐👑👑… oh by the way .. her brother is innocent 😌.. it’s 2022 . Get over it 😇
Why do they keep saying Michael a divisive figure
The fact that a newer generation will discover how groundbreaking her music was.
That was me. I didn’t realise! Amazing
Michael has open the doors 🚪 for many people and MTV music videos, Janet and Michael if Janet not jonger was, then there are twins JM JanetMichael our MJ MichaelJanet . I knew that's Janet and Michael has broken the pase for the future ❤😢❤🫱🏿🫲🏻🌎
She's so soft spoken and such a lady. 👏💕
I was so sad about the "Scream" short film how they were separated making it 😔
They were obviously together at some part and separated at some parts. So not entirely separated as she implied in the documentary
@@cocolightjedi1789 well she was there...we weren't
Wow I didn’t know Janet and Michael weren’t super close after Thriller. That makes me sad. Both have such beautiful calm spirits. 💗
Just everything with Michael went downhill after Thriller sadly
@@saniyahcollins6820 Yeah, Michael was going through his own hell during and after Thriller. I can see why he became distant and more silent around people.
Yes it is sad , but psychologically speaking, I think it's more of a problem for her. Because she herself said that she had fought all her life to get rid of Jackson's name and to prove that she could be someone like her brothers. La Toya had the same problem. For example, Tito's children were very close to Michael and Taj spoke very beautiful about how Michael helped them record their first album. But at the same time I think there was a competition between the brothers, between her and Michael, to prove who was better.
I'm sure that after Thriller, all he did was work. It was his biggest record at the time, and probably took him away from his family.
The problem was Micheal wanted to do his own thing too. The family always wanted him to do stuff with his brothers.
I love Janet she's a very strong women.
I was one of three black kids in a middle school in Santa Barbara California. I get it.
That’s how it was for me, my sister and brother growing up during the 60s and 70s. I definitely understand and relate to those feelings. I wish I could somehow get dollars for every time we were called the N word back then. I’d be done paying off my university student loans.
Cried so much watching this. I love Janet more than I can say.
Me too
Whenever she speaks abut Michael you could feel her love, pain over losing him. She really misses him.
With the Super Bowl incident, Janet is the definition of “grown folks.”
Janet and Michael had a special bond. And you can tell she really loves all her family members. She has really allowed us to see her vulnerable side.
I’m happy all of this was coming from her not any one else! I’m glad she did this and now everyone can move on. Call Coca-Cola you drop the ball on that one!
Poor Joe.. Yeah, it sounds like he was a tough task master, but imagine if he wasn't...
We are a nation with no geographic boundaries. Bound together through our beliefs. We are like-minded individuals, sharing a common vision. Pushing for a world without color lines.
Was my introduction to Janet Jackson. And what an introduction.
Such an inspiration to 11 year old me. 15 year old me.....20, 25, 30, 35, and now even 43 year old me.
There is no other for me. That statement entering the album solidified it. Each album since has put her more in my musical mind and soul. She is my top, and no matter what.....no one else will ever top her status as my #1 singer of all time.
And my life's motto comes form the end of that iconic album.
In complete darkness we are all the same. It is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us. Don't let your eyes deceive you.
Well everybody n the music industry and n the Jackson family where jealous of michael. This is facts. Thriller was n still is one of the most influential albums in music history
5:50 It was just siblings teasing each other, I doubt Michael of all people did it with any malice. People are making a too big deal out of it.
Janet experiencing racism was a “shocking detail” ???
My maiden name is Jackson. I can totally relate to all the jokes and weird behavior from people. I grew up in the 80's. I remember getting prank calls often because people would look up our house in the yellow pages, asking "Where's Janet? I wanna talk to Michael!" We lived close to Encino in California and my Dad's name is Michael, so yeah lol. I was so excited to change my last name when I got married!
It was the total opposite for me. I looooove and always have loooved having the last name Jackson. In my head, I'm their cousin🤣
Lol, it's my maiden name too..
@@michellegriffin9604 by the time I was 10, I was so over it! 😂🤣😂
Girl, I hear you but I just embraced all the corny jokes, especially with my initials being MJ🙂
How annoying people can be!
Scream is my favourite Michael and janet song together and individually... i never doubted him for a second either ❤
I enjoyed the Janet documentary, but I really didn’t learn too many new things. I dated one of her backup singers for years, so I got the opportunity to meet up with them on tours and spend a considerable amount of time hanging out. Janet created a Family like environment, she’s extremely polite and sweet w/a wick sense of humor. Always down to earth, everybody was equals. She had a strong spiritual power that she never let go to her head. She stayed humble and grateful, into expressing & releasing her creativity, keeping it real was what her positive energy was about. We were all mature, but youthful coming into our own sensuality, as POC, who have a lot of hangups about exploring our freaky curiosity and she was giving herself permission. Rene & her were a great couple. He helped her to open up and feel confident with her image, but I guess if she was not matching the image of her video, he might have made some comments that made her feel insecure. I guess he thought he was trying to be helpful and trying to be there to inspire and support her. But it may have come off as condescending, but he meant well. I think he was trying to protect her before she heard it from the harsh public. Let’s work on it. Perhaps, she couldn’t no longer make the distinguish between the manager and her husband. The husband loves you no matter what, but the manager is thinking about delivering what is being marketed to the public. A rough place to be in any marriage.
But to be honest, why would he even ask that Janet "match the image" of a video? The video ain't real.
That comment is pushing so hard to defend Rene that I think it's him. His 30-year-old friends are saying he was toxic and controlling all the time. Why should we believe you and all that good intentions?
When you listened to Michael’s interviews, his tones were soft like Janet’s. I think they are the only 2 siblings that were the same; maybe more like their mother. I wish Michael was still here. To be honest when I heard the title, ‘This Is It”, I thought something terrible is going to happen. I truly felt it. He announced it and then he was gone. 😢😢
Sorry, you weren’t in the documentary and neither were you in their marriage so your words aren’t too credible.
It pains me to see her struggle with her family... she's such a kind gentle soul
Her documentary told me No you don’t know what happened so stop judging like the rest of the world. I didn’t know and I’m sorry I’m just a human being. Loved her documentary. ♥️
I hate racism! When will this ever *beep* 🛑? I will not condone this disgusting situation and refuse to let all the hate towards people of race, religion, orientation, etc. continue! Body image issues is just too much! Ik Michael would never meant to call Janet heavy, but I never realized how it affected her! I remember the story from the 📰 about the Super Bowl in 2004. Fame and friendship just don’t mixed, it will only escalate when people become freeloaders to celebrities! Poor Janet really missed her big brother, after spending those very last moments together! 🪦 Michael Jackson 😭
She is the Queen of Pop and Legend.
No questions about it.
To go through trauma and rise from the ashes, inspiration and a true survivor.
She definitely is a legend and music icon and deserves all her flowers but sorry the queen of pop title belongs to Madonna
I think theres a question...
@Shadow Play in the Woods I think people don’t cut Madonna enough slack and simply put she has achieved more impact than any other female pop artist, hence the title Queen of Pop. Like I said all the other females deserve their flowers but Madonna remains the undisputed queen.
How many people are here just for Michael Jackson like if you did 🙂
Janet Jackson deserves everything in the documentary even though we had to learn with her life and even learning about the Jacksons and Michael Jackson and what’s their legacy they need justice for what they deserve and what they bring for us and give us for everything
Thank you Janet Jackson
I kept telling people she never had a daughter. Her nieces, Brandi and Stevanna look like Janet because Jackson’s have strong genes. All of her nieces look like her.
I don't know about that. I don't see any resemblance to Paris.
@@kitchenskills5427 I wasn’t talking about Paris. Anyone with eyes can see that her and Prince aren’t biological Jacksons.
@@charlyb9194 right lol 😂
Brandi Jackson was adopted by Jackie and Enid, but she does blend right in with the rest of the family.
@@Dzzy123 Brandi was not adopted
Also, call me racist or insensitive, but it blows my mind that black people supported or listened to JT. Up until the Super Bowl, I was a big fan of him and NSync. But after what happened after and Janet was crucified and blacklisted, and he didn’t say a fucking word blew my mind.THE FACT THAT YOU HAD TO ASK HER IF YOU SHOULD SAY SOMETHING??? ARE YOU FKN KIDDING ME? She probably thought he would just step up as a man watching what’s happening to this icon and tell the world it was a fkn accident on his own, and when they spoke and he asked her if he should say something, that was probably the icing on the cake for her and she didn’t care anymore. If he had spoke up, on his own, and just gave a statement saying it was a malfunction/accident and it was never apart of the act, they wouldn’t have blown it out of proportion the way they did. By him staying silent, it went with the narrative that it was intentional. No way would someone willingly take the fall and choose to deal with the backlash on their own. FOH.
💜👏!
I totally agree. Nothing you said was racist. Even if they're friends now, he could have reduced the impact on his career but he was a coward
Gosh, watching the series I forgot how much Janet’s music was my soundtrack at some point in my life. I think the whole documentary was very refreshing and left you with a positive note. Janet is so right when she says that she has realised how incredibly strong she is. She has really stayed focused and poised in the times many people would’ve become chaotic and turn to addictive behaviour. Hats off to her. Brilliant and talented person.
I have always been a lifelong fan of the Jacksons, and this documentary was so eye-opening and generously open and candid, that i really loved it. Although her life had painful moments, i think that finally speaking out on those moments, in her terms, was very freeing for her and the family too. ❤️
Janet Jackson by farrr is an icon, a fabulous entertainer x's 150 & even 2 this day, sweet very sweet & humbly so, she's Beautiful
Broke my heart hearing about her talk about the Scream video with Michael.
I firmly believe his "handlers" kept them separated. Just as they did with everyone else.
Great documentary. Very open & honest about her life. She had to make her own decisions & is such a strong woman
Janet is one of the most beautiful women in the whole world
✍️🏽I know Janet is telling the truth about “racism” in school as a little girl because I, too, experienced the same hate. It's funny, I had a teacher ask me if I could wash off my color, yet the same teacher was pasty white one day, and orange the next, (from tanning), what hypocrisy, no? ☺️🖐🏽
She talks the same way as Micheal. That is normal with them being siblings who grew up together. But it is very noticeable.
I’m glad Janet got to tell her story and that she spoke on Michael the media take thing way out of proportion that wardrobe incident come on it was an accident and even now her saying Michael teased the media blew that up she understood he wasn’t trying to hurt her like she said from her own mouth Janet you are so gorgeous and talented
Gaahhh I loved loved looooooved this documentary so so much! More Jackson family content!! I loved that Joe Jackson got his flowers and he was humanized. I loved seeing Rebbie Jackson. I liked that Jermaine Dupri featured. I wish there was just a tad more about Janet than about Michael-related things.
You know they always got to try to frame her life around her big brothers...
That's because he was the brightest star of their family he was bigger than her if it wasn't for her 5 brothers, michael being the star of the J5 and then a bigger solo star there would be no janet jackson period
Yeah you love that an abuser gets his flowers 💐 hooray
@@iammar1159 uhm, Joseph's children have been able to view him in a more holistic perspective and I'm following suit. His methods were harsh and the success of the family name came at a great cost but they seem like they aren't harbouring the kind of hate or disdain we the public have for Joe.
@@iammar1159 Not the abuse but the work he did to get his children famous and successful for their talent he does deserve some respect for that. And his children all of them have Forgiven him so what's your problem
I absolutely love the Jackson's. Janet and Mike were my idols
I absolutely love Janet I grew up listening to her music and watching her on TV, I wanted to look just like her. For women of color she brought class and beauty and I appreciate everything about her
michael is innocent
As an European, I never get why white Americans would say things like "go back to your country" to literally anyone with a different skin color.. Like, sure Karen, if you go back to your country as well... Ugh smh🤦🏼♀️
