Beyonce does need to work from a last name or an older brother
Beyonce.
She was the only successful Jackson sans Michael. Her first two albums flopped, Janet rarely associated herself with Michael musically up until 1995 and she was way more popular throughout the '90s than Michael. I think Janet got fame and success based on her own merits.
Sis where is the logic? What does that have to do with ICON status? Why are y'all bringing up things? Ya'll are just MAD disrespectful.
They all relate to ICON status actually, and Cheap asked who will be remembered more. Janet had more iconic moments yes, but If we want to talk OVERALL careers it's not far fetched to say Beyoncé since she achieved success both inside and outside of the music industry.
i love beyonce i really do . But yall need to just educate ur self sometimes.
Janet jackson sold out arenas stadiums in her peak . Didn't hawaii need to make their arena bigger just for her dam concert because of the demand ?
Janet was really 1 of the only 90's black performers to be a big movie star other than whitney.
Beyonce is a great singer and performer, no denying that. Her new album is very good
but lets compare it accordingly ...janet's career went higher and higher since her first 2 flops albums . She declined after 20+ years lmao thats a long ass time gap to start flopping
yall have no respect for legends on this forum . Its kind of sad . Even if i don't listen to janet 's music that much i still acknowledge her impact.
why can't beyonce stans just admit that some1 is more iconic i mean damm lmao yall would say beyonce is more iconic than ruby dee like damm .
Janet is 45 years old..beyonce just turned 30 ...janet has been a staple in pop culture since she was goodtimes....like c'mon ...yall know you all watched janet get her armed burned by that crazy bitch on goodtimes lmao so stop !!
All those things contribute to ICON status. Beyonce is more respected & has more opportunities to carve out her legacy further.
Do Tyler Perry films help carve out Janet's icon status?
OH GIRL CHAO! That is irrelevant to this discussion. I'm not here for it.
Wasn't 4 sort of Janet's Velvet Rope? Something experimental, critical? Oh but wait, it was a flop. TVR hit 10 million, had three hugely successful singles and 4 had.....
And you better act like her first two albums dont exist, because no one knows about them.
Beyonce has more Grammys, more money, better film opportunities outside of Tyler Perry films & has time to continue touring in stadiums and arenas to outdo Janet's debut tour gross that Janet herself can no longer top.
Janet has Rhythm Nation, a loose bustier, and a nipple pastie. BEAT THAT BEYONCE!

She did, much to the dismay of idiots who think she did nothing but ride off the success of her brother Michael.

But didn't one of her first albums have a feature featuring Michael?

Do Tyler Perry films help carve out Janet's icon status?
is she starring in the Tyler Perry movie along with Kim Kardashian?
They are both iconic but Beyonce has contributed more for her generation (DC,grammys,inspiration,movies..)
What receipts? you are lying, Beyoncé has sold MAX over 30 million albums, stop inflating Janet almost 70 million (US wise)
and Destiny's Child =/= Beyoncé. Don't put their sales together.
Beyoncé had those weeks at #1 in a very dark age in the Hot 100, all based on airplay.
Janet still had the double of #1 singles and more top 10 hits and that's all that counts. Hell it's unfair to compare since when Janet came hard Billboard had different rules before the Nielsen/Soundscan Era.
Girl do you know the difference between records and albums? It's like im talking Tinker or something.

Which just means she was (and still is) the biggest bitch on the block. Thx for the reminder.
