Janet.Britney's craft screams Janet.

Rihanna is more the Madonna to me in terms of attitude/persona etc.

This but Rihanna uses a lot of Janet's image and style as well.

She was a teenage pop artist but she wasn't doing Tiffany like teen pop, it's already a huge difference between the two of them. Janet's two first albums were flop, by the way.
DLMBTLTK reminds me more of The Blue Lagoon than any Janet video. It's the same reach I hear when their two "Everytime" videos are compared because there's water in them (the "Pleasure Principle" and "Overprotected" comparison work better) ! I'm not saying Janet wasn't influential but Britney is not a Janet copy (her three biggest eras belong to a genre Janet was never successful with)

She still did bubblegum with her first two albums even if they weren't successful. She also had an innocent teenage image. DLBTMLK might remind you of something else but it doesn't change the fact that Britney said it was inspired by Janet's video and she worked with the same director.

Everytime is comparable because both are piano ballads about the same subject and have similar videos. The song is most likely inspired by Janet's since its written about JT and that's one of his favorite Janet songs, so it makes sense that the video also used inspiration from her. Part of it also uses similar scenes to another one of Janet's videos also.

J' also impacted Christina, Pink and Rihanna in major ways but no one mention it in here... http://thelavalizard.com/2013/05/the...s-velvet-rope/

And? That's a short article about one album in particular and barely mentions anything. I could list receipts for days on Britney and the rest being influenced by that album and tour alone but I won't.

The Superbowl alienated a lot of people, it was huge and many people thought she did it on purpose. Olivia was also blacklisted, I think, and her new music could barely be heard anywhere.

Olivia wasn't blacklisted, people just lost interest. Janet was still slaying up until it happened. It's not a comparable situation in any way, stop reaching.

Mariah vocally, Madonna aesthically, Janet overall

But she wasn't succesful like you said while Britney is the biggest teen pop star ever. That's probably why most people don't connect the dots between the two and why Janet's obsessive stans do what you are currently doing in this thread. The only era thematically and visually reminiscent of Janet is Britney, and even then it's very different sonically speaking.
You spoke about "If" earlier but slave reminds me more of Paula's"Cold Hearted Snake" with its very sexual choreo and dynamic than "If" which is pretty tame in comparison.

The song is most likely inspired by Janet's since its written about JT and that's one of his favorite Janet songs, so it makes sense that the video also used inspiration from her. Part of it also uses similar scenes to another one of Janet's videos also.

Janet's "Everytime" = Looking sexy and vulnerable in a water, blue colored, scenery. Britney's "Everytime" = Being hit in the head py a paparazzi, fighting with her boyfriend, passing out in her bathroom, dreaming of reincarnation after walking in the white scenery of an hospital and waking up. You're right, both videos are identical!

And? That's a short article about one album in particular and barely mentions anything. I could list receipts for days on Britney and the rest being influenced by that album and tour alone but I won't.

Then do it, what you're waiting for? But if those are the same receipts claiming the dancers coming from a roof in "Circus" were inspired by "If" when it's basically Circus 101...

Olivia wasn't blacklisted, people just lost interest. Janet was still slaying up until it happened. It's not a comparable situation in any way, stop reaching.

Again, I disagree. The sex album Damita Jo was overkill after the Superbowl and would have still underperformed even without the blacklisting. Remember that it was around that time, Whitney, Mariah & Madonna all flopped hard on the charts and the new wave of pop girls were replacing the previous one. Just like Olivia with Janet, Madonna & Cyndi. Both could have slowed down the process a bit if they had released more "conventional" albums.

It's a bit off topic but here's an interesting message about ONJ, I found on a rock'n'roll hall of fame forum. Since we've been speaking about female influencing one another in pop music.

what kind of icon

The only people who can't see the influence Janet's had on her are the Britney stans still trying to compare everything she does to Madonna or in this case ONJ. . Her image and all her tours are more Janet inspired they anything else. They have alot more similar songs and similarities in general than only the Britney era. And for the Slave video, it doesn't matter what it reminds you of. Britney said it was inspired by If.

I said the bathtub scenes. I'm not the only one who's noticed a similarity especially since the songs are similar piano ballads with the same title. And the white hallway scenes look a lot like another one of Janet's videos as well.

Except Britney said something like 'it reminds me of Janet' when they were filming it when they came from the ceiling.

You can disagree but you'd still be wrong. Without the Superbowl and effects after it it would've done great. The singles were radio material and very conventional. And during that time when the rest were flopping, Janet was the only one who wasn't up until then.
