I just wish they stop doing covers and start doing originals.

She just sold out a summer concert for her night at the Essence Festival and she just got her songs performed by the top 10 on AI. It's sad that it took MJ's death for people to start rooting for her comeback again. Now I see that has changed again reading up on stuff as of late. The posts in here ::shakes head::

Look, like any successful (or formerly successful) act, Janet will always have haters. People will find any way to put her down because they can. And I'm no angel myself. But even when Janet is going through a tough time (i.e. after Michael's death), they say she's riding off his death and not really grieving.
I say the media rides his death. The media has decided that Janet is in favor again, and so she is. Janet has nothing to do with her recent success or the positivity around her. And through it all, people have continued to hate on her, so those comments in this thread are totally expected.
Re Janet's personal life. I honestly don't think she has had many personal troubles since the super bowl. That is most likely due to Jermaine Dupri, whom she was madly in love with until 2009. On top of that, she seems complacent--my gut feeling tells me that Janet doesn't care all that much about her music anymore so she won't care about how it's selling either. Hopefully she proves me wrong with the next album. But in one respect it's a good thing because she has been unbothered by the flops.
I appreciate your awesome comments in here BTW.

Janet is not being used right now because she's had like 3 or 4 consecutive flop albums. I mean you should be very careful at your attempts at a comeback otherwise you can lose your credibility and start looking like a 90s artist or washed up. If Mariah keeps releasing these wack albums it will eventually happen to her. Nobody will respect her. Janet releases flop album after flop album and you know how ignorant some of these people are out there. They won't want to credit someone who they could easily outsell as an influence. So therefore she continues to be snubbed and taken less and less serious. I couldn't believe a comment I read on youtube by a young MJ fan pertaining to her AI performance. They were like I see Janet can finally be the superstar she always wanted to be now that Michael is dead.

^Yeah I know that. That's why I said they have short attention spans. It's hard enough for older women in the entertainment business as it is. My point is that Janet's success is bigger than those last flops. So it's not right to judge that way because that doesn't take away the history she has made. She will not lose respect completely because of that.

I hope they also do a Mariah episode. Her songs are worthy enough to be reprised by those cast.
Can you imagine Lea singing one of Mariah's songs? It's going to be so beautiful. ![cries](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/45ab1e3e.gif)

Nope. I dislike that actress. Ever since she said Jewish people can't rap or something in a Daily10 interview.

^ LOL she was obviously joking when she said that. Lea has one of the best voices in a long time.

I think this also explains why no Janet episode of Glee.

As if lol. Janet has a great voice and can clearly sing. If Janet cant sing, can Madonna? Can Britney? The list goes on.
And the world didnt wise up to anything, her last three albums didnt do well because her producers gave her such mediocre material in comparison with her previous. She's had a string of influential and noteworthy hits, records, etc. Her dancing is unmatched, her ability to dance hard and sing live is almost unmatched by any female artists. She has talent. But I dont give a care about no "Glee", though it would be nice to see some more Janet tributes. ![:)](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Janet is a dance icon. And Michael Jackson's sister. That's about it.

^Should've known that you would make such a statement. The same could be said for Britney (who's the most Janet-like out of the othe girls!), Paula Abdul, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Ciara, Mya, etc. of divas who excel at dancing over singing. I would have put Madonna, but her dancing is way below par in comparison to the above. To the states Madonna could be considered a freakin' hasbeen too as of late other than a successful tour. Music sales wise in the states Madonna is worse off for the last couple of years excluding the 2 singles 4 Minutes (because of JT & Timbaland production) and Hung Up. At least Janet got #1 debut albums and Mariah manages to get hits so she can catch up to the Beatles record. It took a compilation from Teenage Bop AKA Glee to make people want to hear her songs!
Janet is an icon as an overall artist! Who else has #1 songs on multiple genres on Billboard? Who else acted without getting Razzies?
IMO we wouldn't have Britney if it wasn't for Janet.

Britney is a famous icon because of BRITNEY, not because her brother is the king of pop. Next subject.

My mistake. Well Madge is on the same plane as Janet albums wise in the US.

I was talking about the dance icon comment! Do the rest of those divas I named have famous brothers?
She GOT INTO the business because of her connection to the J5. She started around then since she was a kid. She's famous for being JANET. No Jackson! She made her own identity ever since "Control"! To the left!
More similarities: Britney's Overprotected (being a puppet and smothered) = Janet's Control (firing her dad, breaking away from the family association, not just being the "little sister" anymore in the public's eye)
^Just diff interpretations, common thing is independence or coming of age.

False. Without Michael she wouldn't have gotten a record deal. Maybe she could have been a fly girl on In Living Color or something. ![:)](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/smile.gif)

PRESSED.
You people said it with DC and Bootylicious and gay men all over the world are covering.
You said Crazy In Love would be forgotten; fat girls are still shaking their junks.
You said that Single Ladies would flop; it just went 4x Platinum.
Said Beyonce couldnt sell without them; sold 52 million.... WHAT!
She's a survivor!

Fail :hitler:
Leave the flygirl thing to J-Lo since she actually was one, you racist!
I SAID she GOT INTO the business because of the J5's success no doubt. If we want to get technical, it was her DAD JOE JACKSON who got her the record deal. The whole family infact. He was the driving force. Back in the day they were like the Osmonds. Introducing each member and starring in a variety series. My point was to explain that being MJ's sis is not what she's famous for. It's only apart of who she is. She can't help what family she was born into. That title brother and sister of... goes to the other members because when people bring up their names individually, it's always MJ and Janet.
She's famous for inspiring a lot of the artists out today and somewhat her acting. She made a name for her own self by doing what she wanted to do and joining Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to produce hit records. During her career, it was HER! She became a sex symbol. She was an alternative to Madonna, like Whitney was to Mariah was to Celine.
Should I look for that article that said that Britney only got a record deal because the perverts wanted to market her as a virginal lolita?

I was going to post a reply to Starstruck, but then I read this realizing I would only be reiterating you and look like a damn fool. You're genius ![cries](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/45ab1e3e.gif)
