Mariah kinda... Kicked ha ass

Didn't Janet release 2 albums in the 1990s?

Mariah released about 200 albums + Tommy power.

I am not surpised

But Janet overall snatched with just 2 albums

[Humoresque]

Janet took her time with her albums. She made sure every element was just right and that each album was chock full of great songs with excellent production and that the songs engaged her. Doesn't Really Matter how much she's in or out of the public eye because whoever discovers those albums in future generations will still be discovering top-quality, resonant work.

Can't say the same for a lot of acts today.

Is she?

The above-posted posts say different.

Like someone earlier said, her music didn't transition well with the new generation unlike her peers Mariah, Whitney, Celine, etc. She's clearly not superior. Longevity is key. If the term fad ever fit someone perfectly, it's Janet.

Her 30 year old song going viral a month ago says different. Her music still being sampled says different. Please don't use her streaming stats because that most certainly wont help your argument.

Longevity? Janet's been famous longer than all of her peers.

Not discrediting her past achievements. Just pointing out that we live in the now and now isn't Janet's time anymore.

Celine's music transitioned with the newer generation better than Janet's did?

Janet must hold the record for being a fad then, after being a "fad" for 15+ years

People try SO HARD to discredit Janet's longevity, impact, and resilience. It's boggling.

Billboard based that chart on chart PERFORMANCE, not chart RECORDS.

Girl goodbye.

A lot of young people know at least Rhythm Nation from her classics.

You might has well call Madonna a fad as well, because her old mess is NOT popular among teens & young adults.

And you know this how?

And Janet actually went on to experiment with different kinds of music and themes whereas Mariah never took any risks and sung quite generic love songs (love her though).

It was released in 1989, which is not the 1990s sis.

Nonetheless, Mariah had a troll doll on ha ass helping her get hits, and once he bounce from ha ass in 2001, she was flopping from 2001-2004.

Do not start sis.

Why does the Jackson family have this whole forum SO pressed? TALENT ALWAYS WINS.

Performance and records are not the same. Please, again, for the sake of not looking uninformed, think before you post.

Janet's chart RECORDS are arguably better than Mariah's.

This doesn't change anything though? That some young people don't know their songs is ignorance attributed to them. Young people not knowing songs by James Brown or the Beatles doesn't change anything for them, why does this change when female legends are in question?

What experience?

Please refrain from using any kinds of fictional, anecdotal evidence.

I have no idea what pre-2008 Madonna songs teens or young adults know because there are millions upon millions of them and it's virtually impossible to ask them all.

And I don't wanna even spend time doing that.

And none of them want to admit that Janet DID influence their faves to some degree. When Britney went sexy on the Britney album, when Christina did it on Stripped, when Selena Gomez whispered in a t-shirt, all of these moments owe a debt to janet. more than any other album.

Yea lets skip the semantics. Mariah's music PERFORMED better & she has better RECORDS as both you & I posted the receipts. not gonna argue bc the receipts have been provided

Janet only does better when it comes to top 10's & possibly weeks on the BB200
