I don't want to be rude but I think Janet was never a big thing though, 

Yeah, and those 10 #1s she had on Hot 100? 10 is 7 more than 3 which Gaga have!

She had the biggest record deal of that time, worth $25M, and the record was broken by his brother MJ only.

Those 100M records she sold? The cultural impact she had? 

Lol, you coulda say that WW she wasn't that big, but she was a thing. A BIG thing! Don't try to undermine her success. Just say that you didn't like your music, which is okay to say, but gosh she was successful!

Justin still carries a lot of blame because he didn't do anything to defend Janet's name whatsoever. He even trash talked her both in an interview and a song. He only recently "apologized" to make his image look better.

Take some time out of your schedule to watch both of these videos and your opinion will change.

Keep telling yourself that. Culture shifted. Even Eminem is struggling.

275 million and two million attendees. Those are facts, not something I'm "telling myself".

No Sleeep getting to #1 on the Billboard charts? Discipline & Unbreakable being Janet's 6th and 7th #1 albums? Three icon awards this year alone? Raking in several million dollars on tour sales? Made For Now earning 30 million views on YouTube? None of those ring a bell? Try again sweetie. Janet's doing just fine. Probably better than Justin that's for damn sure. :ladyhaha:

 

Justin's last two albums far outsold Janet's last two albums. No Sleep was number one on the UAC chart, not BB overall chart. The Unbreakable Tour box office total was 15 million. Even if she hadn't cancelled, it would have never gotten anywhere close to 275 million, especially with several concert dates that were at 7,000-8,000 attendees. The subsequent tour was selling much slower, with many concert dates having 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 attendees. JT's last two albums and tours did far better than the two you referred to. 

The post you replied to is accurate. Justin has had more success this decade.

That doesn't mean that Janet has not had her successful eras and tours, (and that her last two weren't successful) or that she isn't someone worthy of great respect.

It simply means that JT is still incredibly popular and remains relevant. 

Both artists can exist in the music world, and be successful in their own right.

Boy do I have alot to say about this one..

Justin lost a fan that day because it was so wildly insane that he was able to remain all over the place while Janet was literally blacklisted. His fault or not, never mattered to me. Karma is one nasty piece of wake up call tho.  Just ask Man Of The Woods.  :reductive:

Les is a known jackhat. This makes so much sense its surprising it took this long to come together. It's like a DUHH moment. He was known for stuff like this, is known for stuff like this and will forever be. I could go on about that but I'm picking my battles wisely. 

Damita Jo wouldve been a SMASH had that man not done what he did. As a Janet fan since Control, I found Damita to be her strongest record since Velvet Rope. Janet was back!.....until she wasnt. 

And who is this white man to expect Janet to tha mofo Jackson come crying at his feet like a sinner to a saint when all she did was perform the performance while Justin TimberGreat nearly ripped her strawberry bounce off her body?!?! 

Please. 

This goes to show, yet again, the power of the white man in entertainment and what praise and worship does for you. And I'm a white man so yea. 

Good for Janet for refusing to bow at the feet.  She publicly explained the incident, offered an apology for it. But that's not enough. Who knows what wouldve happened had she met Les in a hotel conference room to plead forgiveness. Mmmmhmmm. :bye:

I'll follow Janet til I die. If anything else, this just makes me love her more.

Do people realize Janet career was sabotaged by the conservative, iper protective, obtuse, stupid, bigoted, hypocrate America* in the first place?

She just f'ckin showed a nipple. Wow, what a scandal is that. Like if people didn't know that woman had nipples. Lile c'mon.

*not reffering to America as a whole obv, just to that conservative, etc part.

Why doesn’t Janet sue him? Seems like a pretty good case of defamation and proof of her career suffering is veryyyyy palpable

Its not even THAT conservative here. It's just a bunch of hypocrites wanting something to talk about for 5 minutes and then forget it.

Some of this goes back to the argument of the nipple. Lol.  Sounds silly huh? Why? Because it is.  

I'm a man and I go outside all the time with my shirt off.  I've walked in stores without a shirt on. Sometimes ya get checked out but never in a bad way. 

But let a woman walk in that same store with a shirt ON but no bra on underneath.  The whispers. "She needs a bra"... "wow look at that ho"..

The double standards are CRAZY.  

Janet didnt even show full boob. It's a BOOB!!!!   Its a nipple.  We all have them. 

This is what I always call "classic distractions".....creating a false narrative so people ignore what's TRULY going on.
