Stopped reading at "everyone on earth knows her"

[retromaury]

She's not considered a legend in Latin America (where I grew up) the only song I remember getting played there was "All for You"

And we're an important touring market for pop girls and I don't think Janet has ever even played in the continent?

She's a 90's icon, I'd give her that.

[halcyonday]

She is, maybe in the USA.

[Starburst]

No

I know, but I find it weird that I never hear Janet's song on the radios or at classic stations when I hear Like A Prayer , Billie Jean, Hey Jude , Bohemian Rhapsody and many other songs from artists who are often regarded as legends, just that.

I never heard any of those songs on the radio

Its almost impossible to measure Elvis sales as much of it was from before sales were properly tracked. Plus his music has been re-released hundreds of times in many formats, variations & compilations. But he has for sure sold hundreds of millions worldwide over the past 60 years. His impact is global and actually intensified after his death. Most of his sales are probably post death actually and his global influence is undeniable. He was basically the first huge pop idol who caused global frenzy.

Playing the race card is desperate. Some artists are just more relevant to a black audience and thats just a fact. Like Taylor is more relevant to a white audience. Not including me.

I agree with this

The Army are the ones trying to discredit Janet though

Exactly
He acting as if the Hive is saying this. They call Beyoncé local all the time too and use that to discredit her accomplishments. Why would we do it to Janet?

I also thought that most of the Hive were black and ghetto
If that's the case we would know who Janet is, know the impact she has had in the music industry and acknowledge her as the legend she is.

She really stays on your mind, yet for some reason WE are the obsessed ones. And what you just said isn't even remotely true, Bey stans are the last ones to discredit Janet and her legacy. You're so embarassing

Idk you and not once did I mention the hive.

But if the shoe fits..

That's not true. We wouldn't disrespect our faves fave and main influence .

[Nerevanin]

I think that she isn't very known ww (or at least in Central Europe). Until I joined ATRL, I didn't even know she was singing, let allow that she was so successful. I thought that was famous because she was MJ's sister.

Girl bye, don't be trying to act slick and intelligent here. You tried to throw some weak shade at Bey with "bye" like you always do. And idgaf that you don't know me, I still quoted you and I'll do it again

Janet paved the way for Beyoncé. We'd never discredit her

You ever heard of auto correct?
I didn't say you couldn't quote me

I suggest you stay on topic and not be so angry due to your own misunderstandings.

Janet is a legend. Anyone denying it should log out.

Auto correct doesn't change anything, if anything you just said that you were indeed trying to shade Bey but whatever, have fun

ATRL is full of tweens. By the time she reached her peak they were just being born.

Also, it's embarrassing tbh. I have a good younger friend and we went out to the gay club a few weeks ago, which was "Janet night", and he actually laughed at me when I told him Janet was a legend. To which he replied and said no Beyonce is a legend, Janet is not.

I told him sorry but Beyonce a legend before JANET JACKSON?! Janet Jackson birthed your fave and all of our faves. The disrespect. The f-in audacity of some ignorant young folks.

I just don't get it. The mindset of these youngins is embarrassing at best.

The ignorance is real smh

if Janet was really a legend as some of her are overrating her, her music would be playing on classic TV channels and radios! She would make to some kind of Top 10 list.

I also can't at those same people now saying they "can't name one Madonna song" as if Like A Virgin, Holiday, La Isla Bonita, Like A Prayer, Vogue, Frozen, Music and Hung Up doesn't get played anywhere. And remember, those are all huge global smash hit songs from 3 different decades! Just go to most successful and aclaimed music artists, Madonna is the only female there with Elvis, Beatles, MJ, etc. etc. and no other female comes CLOSE to her. So don't try to compare Janet as being a legend to Madonna. That's like comparing Kelly Rowland to Mariah Carey

Sis U can't be serious right now just LOG OUT!

U lil girls need to do your homework if it wasn't for Janet. A lot of our favs wouldn't be doing what they do today.

To say Janet isn't a legend is just plain stupid

"She's not a legend because EYE don't hear about her where I live"

Yawn. Change the record. You don't know/didn't hear because YOU don't know/didn't here. Your lack of knowledge has no effect or bearing on Janet's influence and legacy or the history she made.

She's a legend. One of the greatest ever. Just say "I was born in 1996, all I know is Britney" and move on.

Exactly if you are a 80s baby how do you not know her? I smell B.S!

In fact if you are a fan of music U should know her & her work!!!
