Awards, Sales and reviews from music publications back me up. Janet could also make huge comebacks after albums without payola. Also, Janet's debut tour has been reoprted to be the most successful debut tour ever while JT needed Xtina for his debut tour.
20/20 Experience only sold 1M outside the US and I have the reciepts. That's only 100K more than FF outside the US with two big international hits while Ff only had 1. In he UK 20/20 Experience only sold 188K despite having plat selling singles there. FF sold 150K here and her songs flopped hard here.

Not Janet's imaginary touring receipts from Wikipedia, the laughing stock of SYG. I won't even bother.

Justin is far more acclaimed than Janet is:
He's the reason the Black Eyed Peas have an acclaimed release:

Justin needed Christina? Quite the opposite. Remember Christina's touring receipts from 2000?
Justin had just come back from a tour with *NSYNC that grossed over $100 million worldwide and headlined the tour with Christina, which remains her biggest to date:
4 years later, in a world freed from Janet Jackson:
That tour also went on to gross over $100 million (for comparison, more than all of Christina's tours put together) -- or $150 million to be exact and he was selling out stadiums all over the world. 6 years later, in a world freed from Christina Aguilera, Justin's first leg of the 20/20 tour grossed $90 million from just 15 shows, out-grossing all of Christina's tours combined, while Back to Basics remains Christina's last tour.

20/20 sold 188k in Britain in its first few weeks. It was certified platinum in July when the certifications in the UK were automated:
The same day, Femme Fatale was certified silver:
A little lesson on BPI certifications:
Are you trying to tell me that Femme Fatale sold almost three times as much as it did in its first two years in the last two months?
#6 Just stop.
