If smth is simply beautiful, it's no matter which pop era it's belonging to, 1994 or 2014. |

It isn't beautiful though. A beautiful video is Oh Father or Vogue or Express Yourself or Bad Girl. This isn't a beautiful video. It's one-step above a live video. Even Britney's suicidal-in-a-bathtub effort was better than this. |

It's funny that you should mention 1994 as QUEEN JANET did this way better in the 90s Beyonce and Rihanna live in the house that Janet built

Riri 'releasing an album of bought in material each year and stumble around drunk onstage' more talented than LEGENDARY Miss Jackson? Poor Madonna stans. |

What exactly is Trannet's talent ? Titty flashing? Doing some MJ dancing? Singing and song writing obviously isn't. Poor little monster |

Totally. I always were amazed at how a woman without any possibility even to talk loudly, became a singer. |

Riri has writing credits on many songs, now how much either of them contribute... The only semi-good album Trannet ever recorded was the Velvet Rope and I never liked that kind of dancing and the whole attitude that comes with it. |

Isn's that just a coked up hooker walking backwards? Or has Chris Brown punched her so hard that she's reeling? |

Sorry, but "Rhythm Nation 1814" is a *stunning* album. "janet." is also quite brilliant. There are two very, very important reasons why Janet was so successful: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. They were *genius* producers and songwriters back in the day. "Rhythm Nation 1814" sounded like nothing else when it was released. The production on that album is incredible, even today. Janet herself has pretty much zero talent, but those guys were talented enough to pull off a career for her. |

Janet was a very clever puppet - she let us think she was the one in control (no pun intended) and relied on everyone else to make her a star. And she was a bloody good one for many years. But then the quality of music went downhill, along with the tit flopping and then the weight loss and gain dented any credibility she might have had. But I like the fact that we still don't know much about her. She's never used her love life to gain publicity. |

I think Janet had a hand in shaping her career. Obviously not at the level of someone like Madonna but her music and videos weren't utterly anonymous like Rihanna's or Britney's. She carved out an identity. |

As what though? She went for the easy option - sex. Thrusting and groaning her way through her last three albums.... albeit slightly sexier than mariah's attempt when she flops her clumsy boobs around in a swimsuit. |

Her last three albums are what undid whatever 'legacy' she had. But she was the first black female artist to crossover to pop audiences and managed a string of hits that stretched over 15 years. Also, I'd say her music and videos had a characteristic cool sexiness before she devolved into a caricature of herself. She was the ultimate nubian diva and I'd say Britney, Beyonce and Rihanna owe as much to her as they do to Madonna, Tina Turner and skanky trashbags respectively. |
