and even if you wanna talk about IMPACT/INFLUENCE:

Beyoncé impact is more singular than Janet & Mariah.
Melisma was introduced by Whitney.. Mariah only made it more POP and since she was fresh and new with Vision Of Love people jumped on her. but real music followers will tell you that she snatched it from Whitney.
Janet impact on pop girls (female performers/ making dance a must) is hugely inspired by Tina Turner. like the Melisma case; she benefited from the fact that Tina was older and carried less to the large audience than her. she had 4 great albums I agree. but Beyoncé is def having another 2 great albums next and she already has 3 great albums (B'Day, 4, ST) so...

Beyoncé impacted R&B singing style with her DC singles.. SAY MY NAME, NO NO NO, etc.. rapsinging is beyonce, beyonce is rapsinging. secondly her diva-ish attitude mixed with her fierce stage persona is unique will continue to inspire. thridly, I can mention the surprise release....

Tina Turner's dance style is completely different to Janet's. Janet incorporated dance breakdowns, and made it a must in performing for pop girls. Tina Turner just grooved like Beyonce now. Apples and oranges here. Janet did the whole dance breakdown, crop-top, head mic (known as the Janet mic) thing. Every country has their own "Janet" she's actually credited by people outside these pop forums. Bey is credited for being the performer of our time, she's like the perfect student but she's not credited in real life for that level of impact. And B'Day and 4 are great and all, but their not GOAT albums like Janet's.

Janet>Mariah>Bey

Janet was the first triple threat in mainstream music. Singer, dancer, and actress.

So much talent.

You mean this?

It's called 'Madonna mic' here in Brazil, by singers, actors and such.

Mariah is the biggest in music based on sales figures.

Janet is the biggest based on a combination of movies and television.

Janet on a 2:1 ratio.

Mariah by miles

LOL I don't know what's funny to it when Beyoncé is a bigger package; tours more; has a most unique and recognizable message; and especially when Janet career is over and done since 2004 (2008 if you want) and Mariah is inconsistent since 1999 and shows no sign of new consistency.

Beyoncé still has to flop like Glitter/Chambracelet or Janet post-Damita Jo. Her artistry shows no sign of decay so you can tell she'll be strong platinum for the 5 next years in the US at very least.

You try so hard.

Janet and Mariah have been consistent for more than a decade.

Google both Madonna and Janet Jackson mic and just in the first row of images for Madge there are three pictures of other people OTHER than Madonna with a head set mic. Even their desecration says "Madonna mic."

That's not the case for JJ.

Mariah easily

And when you Google "Janet Jackson headset mic", photos of Madonna using the headset AFTER Janet used it comes up.

And still Janet did it before her in 1986. So despite what google images says, she did it first. She's white, so of course she'll get the credit over a black artist who did something first. Ask any artist in the industry whi that headset mic is attributed to and you won't hear Madonna's name.

Mariah.
