Being someone's sister isn't really an advantage

For example Solange never happened despite being Beyoncé's sister

Solange is a different story

Artists in the 80s rarely smashed with their first single, labels took a lot more time to slowly groom artists and cultivate an audience. A lot of modern acts would benefit from that and perhaps wouldn't burn out so quickly.

Is that why Halsey is winning right now.

She did television before she became a singer...she had already been carving out her own path since the mid 70s

The point overall still stands though. If she wasn't MJ's sister even with her credentials in television, she likely wouldn't have made it as far as she did, so career wise she didn't have a disadvantage over what an average artist had to go through to get a career.

Being Micheal's sister was good and bad. Bad because they would always compare Janet to Micheal which is unfair because Janet is her own person. I feel bad for Nipplegate while Justin got away Janet her career suffered and with that her legacy kinda suffered..

Tbqh, imo I think her career didn't suffer too strongly from Nipplegate but her legacy did ofcourse.

Damita Jo's success suffered, but her following two albums would've likely still flopped if that SB incident didn't happen... Simply because the singles just weren't that good and don't scream big hits. Like lol for example, So Excited would've been a flop mess whether the incident happened or not, it's a basic R&B song with Khia. Her music wasn't up to par after the SB like her last albums.

Her legacy ofcourse, undeniably suffered.

Being the king of pop's kid sister is an advantage.. The producers and writers he could have brought to her..

But Michael Jackson is a whole different level, especially in the 80s.

It's like saying being the sister of a Beatles member wouldn't have helped you get a career in the 60s.

Music News: Demi registers song with Dr. Luke

INCOMING!!!

Solange legit would've been seen as a teen baby mama if she wasn't related to Beyonce. There would've been no music, no culture influencing, no fashion presence, etc. She's def someone who benefitted from having a famous sibling

Beyonce has never been at MJ his level Maybe by the time he was at the HIStory album. Not 80s Michael.

Tranet's best video tbh.

Amazing song, aesthetic, editing, choreography. Her best look too

I feel like Glory will bomb in album sales but its singles will do okay-ish.

It will bomb in everything but I'm just happy she's putting out another album. I legit thought she was retiring after Pretty Girls. The fact that she's still getting multi million budgets and is actually involved and excited is amazing.

She needs to flop to the pits of hell.

What do those shady Korean pop star manufacturing companies do when their "idols" flop? Didn't they force a girl to shave her head and give a video like she was a hostage?

[SwagLikeALegend]

I hope the SJW's drag CL for cultural appropriation.

The incident you're referring to happened to a Japanese idol.

But to answer your question, sometimes it doesn't matter. What these companies are really looking for (in addition to music success of course) are for corporations to take notice of these idols and sign them for endorsements or acting gigs. There are some flop groups that are kept afloat by one or two members that are well known outside of music.

When that can't happen, I guess they just disband. There was one group that had to crowdfund their latest album in a last ditch effort to hit it big but they tanked and now they're over
