Janet was that bitch before Bey came along. I'll probably try to discredit her during the stan wars against Bey but I know the truth.

Of course not. Just because these artists were in their prime 40 years ago doesn't mean they are legends today. They have impact but not enough success or acclaim/recognition to be considered legends (especially Joni).

A legend is an artist who has strong sales, strong acclaim and strong influence. If you don't have all 3 of those things then you can't really be considered a full legend.

So yes that means artists like David Bowie and Cher are not full blown legends but people like MJ, Whitney and Beyonce are.

This is a GOLDMINE.

Absolute LEGEND. Yes shes not the greatest women ever in music but to deny her is just
Any Questions?

the schooling.

[6_INCH_HEELS]

Who the hell is saying Janet isn't a legend? And for what delusional purpose?

[Soda Pop Queen]

I love Damita. You so called pop music fans better give her her flowers while she can still smell em.

[Comedor]

I can guarantee that she is a NOBODY here in Brazil. We don't claim her.

Sis you need to check yourself before coming for Janet. Judging by the sheer volume of "come to Brazil"s directed at every music artist ever, it would be more accurate to say no musicians claim y'all. Y'all the true NOBODIES. Don't be pressed just coz she ain't checking for you.

Is this thread still going?

Most artists say that their best shows were in Brazil.

Your post don't make sense, you sound mad because I gave you the scalding tea. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but that's the way it is.

[americanlife]

Janet does not deserve disrespect. She's influenced so many and has had lots of imapct. Maybe not as much as some other people but she did have impact.

There's a whole Janet Brasil website dedicated to her, by a fan, who lives in Brazil.

No, you gave subjective ******** you can't possibly back up with any sort of statistics.

[JustActinUP]

Respect is earned not given.

Plus it's interesting this is coming from a Janet stan, considering the fact, most of them belittle other female artists (Beyoncé, Madonna & Britney). The hypocrisy.

Her singles aren't as good but her albums are much better IMHO

[wanderlust]

i liked janet. I'm not a fan because of the things she has said over the years and she repeats herself a lot.thats my opinion.

but it's the fans that ruined it for me. they ALWAYS come for madonna for no reason and use the race card for not called the queen of pop (then why is black artist MJ called the king of pop? gosh the fans are CRAZY) they just can't accept that on a world level people just didn't care as much for her as they did for MJ or some other girls

[Cain]

Honestly if a lot of people don't know her discography/legacy then that's on her and her team.

The Superbowl caused a huge backlash but other artists have gone through worse and redeemed their status.
Janet dropped the ball, Janet is responsible for her reputation with the public and not the public itself.

[Ramooon]

Let them call Ariana Grande / Selena Gomez queen of pop music.
Let them enjoy the cheap music.

ATRL is full of young people, who do not know Janet Jackson / Kylie Minogue and Jennifer Lopez.
I feel kinda sad for them.
