Like her or not Janet has an established fanbase that will support her regardless. Kind of like Madonna. Whether or not her album will have a long standing position at the top of the charts is debatable. She'll probably debut big and fall like everyone seems to be doing lately.

I agree! Didn't Damita Jo debut with over 300K, without the support of a hit single? Call on Me might not have been a massive hit, but it did well; It even reached the top 25 airplay chart.

In contemporary US (I don't know about the world, but he's huge from my view in terms of popularity), Yes, he is, just like Britney Spears and Mariah Carey. His name is mentioned more than other artists such Shakira.

Popularity has nothing to do in being an Icon.......

not even shakira is an icon in Latin America as a lot of people there consider her

I think it's too early to be calling icons since people still debate over Whitney, Celine, Janet, and so on. Justin right now is almost as popular as New Kids on The Block was and they sold like 70 mill albums. But they aren't really remembered now and will be lost with the next generation. So people should just wait.

AGREED!

If JT is an Icon for our generation then I feel very sorry for our future. No offence to JT, he makes great music but comparing him to any of the "old school" icons will show a very huge downfall

This brings the point I made before. We need to look ahead to the future instead of looking back at the past. This is why I hate Bee, Justin, Fergie, Xtina and most rappers now. They either have crappy songs or are overrated. I can't even put Chris Brown in that class since Say Goodbye is clearly better than all these 4's latest songs (and I don't even like him)

I hope in 2007 that the public realizes this and looks ahead...

I REALLY hope that doesn't happen, i didnt like it that much. >.<

Those artists, minus Fergie, have a lot of staying power and ARE the future. Melissa O'Neill and Aly & AJ aren't.

*Minus SOLO Fergie. The Peas are still gonna continue doing their thing.

ONCE AGAIN, can we please not refer to any stars of today as icons?!?!?! NO ONE is deserving of that title as of yet.

Like Mary J.? I know, people need to go out and buy it.

...My bad... I forgot how strong the meaning of the word "icon" could be to some people.
