Eldergays, tell me about Janet Jackson.

Here you go.

That's Ms. Jackson to you!

So was Barnie...

She wears nipple shields. All the straight boys were excited by seeing her tit at the Superbowl.

Were you writing "Twilight" slash fiction at the time??

I wish there was some kind of Janbot signal. It would be like the Bat Signal only more fabulous.

Also born in 92, lol this thread will piss off miss janbot.

Looking back now - she was never really that relevant.

Always overshadowed by her brother, had heaps of horrible plastic surgery like the rest of her family and unfortunately she couldn't sing.

She could dance though. But that was all.

[quote]Looking back now - she was never really that relevant.

R6 While that may be an adequate description of you; it does not apply to Miss. Jackson.

[quote]Always overshadowed by her brother

Janet started out in the shadow of Micheal and her brothers but she was able to carve out an incredible career for herself. Miss Jackson owned the 1990's.

[quote] had heaps of horrible plastic surgery

Janet has not had heaps of horrible surgery. She still looks great.

[quote]Miss Jackson owned the 1990's.

DELUSIONAL.

[quote]Miss Jackson owned the 1990's.

Actually, that would be Mariah Carey.

Just like Madonna owned the 1980s.

R8 You are the one who is delusional.

Janet Owned the 1990's

Rhythm Nation (1990)

[quote]Jackson released her fourth album, Rhythm Nation 1814, in September 1989..... Peaking at number one on the Billboard 200, the album was certified sixfold platinum by the RIAA and sold over fourteen million copies internationally With singles "Miss You Much", "Rhythm Nation", "Escapade", "Alright", "Come Back to Me", "Black Cat" and "Love Will Never Do (Without You)", it became the only album in history to produce number one hits in three separate calendar years, as well as the only album to achieve seven top five singles on the Hot 100...... Rhythm Nation 1814 became the highest selling album of 1990, winning a record fifteen Billboard Awards. The long-form "Rhythm Nation" music video won a Grammy Award, with Jackson also awarded "Songwriter for the Year" from BMI. Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 World Tour became the most successful debut tour in history and set a record for the fastest sell-out of Japan's Tokyo Dome.

Janet (1993)

[quote]Jackson fulfilled her contract with A&M Records, signing a multi-million dollar contract with Virgin Records estimated between thirty-two to fifty million dollars, making her the highest paid recording artist at the time. The recording contract also established her reputation as the "Queen of Pop." Jackson's fifth studio album Janet, stylized as janet. and read "Janet, period", was released in May 1993. The record opened at number one on the Billboard 200, making Jackson the first female artist in the Nielsen SoundScan era to do so. Certified sixfold platinum by the RIAA, it sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Janet spawned five singles and four promotional singles, receiving various certifications worldwide. Lead single "That's the Way Love Goes" won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks."Again" reached number one for three weeks, while "If" and "Any Time, Any Place" peaked in the top four. "Because of Love" and "You Want This" charted within the top ten. In July 1993, Jackson made her film debut in Poetic Justice. While the film was critically panned, her performance was described as "beguiling" and "believably eccentric."[52][53] Jackson's ballad "Again", which was written for the film, received Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for "Best Original Song."[54][55] In September 1993, Jackson appeared topless on the cover of Rolling Stone, with her breasts covered by former husband René Elizondo, Jr. She collaborated with Michael Jackson on "Scream", the lead single from his album HIStory, released 1995. The song was written by both siblings as a response to media scrutiny.It debuted at number five on the Hot 100 singles chart, becoming the first song ever to debut within the top five. "Scream" is listed in Guinness World Records as the "Most Expensive Music Video Ever Made", costing $7 million. The clip won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.

Design of a Decade (1995) Jackson's first compilation album, Design of a Decade 1986/1996, was released in 1995. It peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Runaway", became the first song by a female artist to debut within the top ten of the Hot 100, reaching number three. Design of a Decade 1986/1996 was certified double platinum by the RIAA and sold ten million copies worldwide.

The Velvet Rope (1997)

[quote]Jackson renewed her contract with Virgin Records for a reported $80 million the following year. The contract established her as the then-highest paid recording artist in history, surpassing the recording industry's then-unparalleled $60 million contracts earned by Michael Jackson and Madonna.....her sixth album,The Velvet Rope, released October 1997. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified triple platinum, selling over ten million worldwide. Lead single "Got 'til It's Gone" was released in August 1997, featuring guest vocals from folk singer Joni Mitchell and rapper Q-Tip. The song's music video, depicting a pre-Apartheid celebration, won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. "Together Again" became Jackson's eighth number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, placing her on par with Elton John, Diana Ross, and The Rolling Stones.It spent a record forty-six weeks on the Hot 100 and nineteen weeks on the United Kingdom's singles chart. It sold six million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time. "I Get Lonely" peaked at number three on the Hot 100, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. As Jackson's eighteenth consecutive top ten hit, it made her the only female artist to garner that achievement, surpassed only by Elvis Presley and The Beatles

[quote]The Velvet Rope: Live in Madison Square Garden, garnered more than fifteen million viewers. It surpassed the ratings of all four major networks among viewers subscribed to the channel.[79] The concert won an Emmy Award from a total of four nominations

[quote]At the 1999 World Music Awards, Jackson received the Legend Award for "outstanding contribution to the pop industry".

She was a regular on two shows!!

You can make fun of her, but she added so much fun music to my younger gay years-- plus her videos so fun! I was born in '66- I think we're about the same age. LOVE her!

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Bitch had no voice. None. Thinner than a needle, and no range.

She was a decent dancer.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

More a Madonna fan myself, both Madonna and Janet were huge for my generation. One of my favorite Janet songs is Love Will Never Do. Great video too.

[quote]Janet Jackson was of course very popular and made some great songs, but Madonna and Whitney Houston were the two biggest stars of that era, and had a big cultural impact as well. Madonna, especially.

This thread is about Janet. It is not about Whitney or Madonna.

R18 then add something you stupid cunt

Janet was very popular amongst gay men of my generation R16 ! We remembered her from good Times,and Rhythm Nation is one of the best albums EVER. "No,my first name aint Janet,its Miss Jackson if your nasty!"

Gay men of all races loved Janet. Janet was one of the biggest dance pop divas in the world along with Madonna during the 80s and 90s, so by default she's a gay icon.

So I disagree with R16, she wasn't just an idol to black people.

[quote]then add something you stupid cunt.

I already had added something, ass hole.

[quote]Janet Jackson was more of a "thing" among little black girls and little black gay boys. White girls and white gay boys weren't really into her like they were into Madonna.

R16 Jackson's records sells tell a different story. You honestly thing that Janet consistently dominated the pop charts in the 1990's but whites did not support her. Janet dominated the charts nationally and internationally because a portion of 12% of the population in the United States supported her. Does that sound remotely plausible to you?

[quote]so by default she's a gay icon.

She certainly is not R21. Stop making shit up.

I can't wait for Janbot to come in here and read you bitches. Anyone with a modicum of common sense and pop culture knowledge knows that Janet Jackson ruled the 90s.

[quote]Looking back now - she was never really that relevant.

You're clearly speaking from a place of hate and envy. What are you, blind? If not for Janet, none of these wannabe dance/pop divas who perform intricate choreography in their videos would exist. They ALL live in the house that Janet built. And you will deal.

[quote]Always overshadowed by her brother

By the mid-'90s, Janet was THE hot star in that family. Michael was largely seen as weird, and his music was slipping. Hell, even he came to Janet for help with a song (SCREAM), and used her producers to boot. Janet has the longest-running #1 Hot 100 song in the family, is the only Jackson with an Oscar nom, is the only Jackson with 7 top 5 hits from one album, is the only Jackson with Grammy noms that span all the major categories...shall I go on?

[quote]had heaps of horrible plastic surgery like the rest of her family

How ignorant art thou?

Janet had a nose job and her breasts done. Oh, let me guess...you're probably one of those morons who subscribes to the "she had a rib removed" urban legend. What a tool.

[quote]she couldn't sing

A (stupid) matter of opinion. One doesn't have to be an over-belter to know how to sing. She uses what she has to maximum effect, and has about the best background harmonies in pop.

[quote]She could dance though.

CAN dance. And better than any one of your favorites (particularly a certain 60-year old, gap-toothed granny who needs to get off social media and act her age).

[quote]DELUSIONAL.

Delusional my ass. In the '90s, several record labels were engaged in a bidding war over Janet. Richard Branson wooed her by taking her up in his hot air balloon, and she ultimately ended up signing with his label. Her two landmark Virgin deals ALONE (which made her the highest paid singer in history--twice) make her the undisputed queen of '90s dance/pop, certainly more than Madonna at the time, who wouldn't get another #1 album Stateside until the new millennium, and who basically was looked upon as a joke after the SEX fiasco. Janet was THE queen of '90s dance/pop.

[quote]Actually, that would be Mariah Carey

Bitch, don't make me laugh!

R10/R11 speaks the truth.

[quote]Janet Jackson was more of a "thing" among little black girls and little black gay boys. White girls and white gay boys weren't really into her like they were into Madonna.

You're an idiot. Tell that shit to Carmen Electra, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Lady Gaga and the myriad of other white female performers who have given Janet credit as an inspiration to them over the years. Her fanbase is widespread and diverse. Youtube Janet Jackson Fans and you will see just how diverse her fanbase is. Hell, even Candace Cameron was a big Janet fan, and dance to Nasty on DWTS this past season.

[quote]Bitch had no voice. None. Thinner than a needle, and no range.

Ready to be schooled, dummy?

I was born in 87. I remember she had a hit single in like 2001 and that she was in one of the Nutty Professor movies. Nothing from the 90s. By contrast, the first music video I remember watching is Michael Jackson's "Black or White."

I never really heard much about Janet until I found DL, and then only thanks to Janbot. And, all snark aside, I do like Janbot and consider him a valuable member here. I don't think there's a more dedicated fan of anyone (Biebs possibly excluded) on the Internet.

[quote]She certainly is not [R21]. Stop making shit up.

Um, she most certainly IS. Not only has she made a record that was basically a love letter in part to the gay community and saved many a gay person's life (THE VELVET ROPE), she's also been awarded numerous times over the years for her support of gay causes and charitable works, has had many drag impersonators over the years, and her concerts are always wall to wall with gays and lesbians. Many gay celebs are fans of hers as well (Ellen adores her and Anderson Cooper fangurled beyond belief when she appeared on his show a couple of years ago).

Often imitated, NEVER duplicated

Well, R31, you were born right when she hit her stride career-wise, so I can see how you wouldn't know much about her material until the time you were a pre-teen (although I'm sure you heard "That's the Way Love Goes" and "If" a time or two). Her 2001 single "All For You" was the longest-running Hot 100 #1 that year. And the Nutty Prof. song you referred to, "Doesn't Really Matter", made Janet the first artist to score a #1 in the '80s, '90s and 2000s.

"All for You" was the single I was thinking of, r34. I looked it up and think I may have even bought the album.

I YouTubed the other two. "That's the Way Love Goes" was definitely familiar, but I don't think I ever caught "If."

I remember seeing her first time in Fame where she played a shy nerdy girl. I felt that family name was the only reason she got the role so I didn't really like her.

Then Nasty came out and wow, what a change from that shy little girl in Fame. The song was super tight and I liked it a lot. Not enough to buy the album, though, but now I took her seriously. But when I was in high school Rhythm Nation came out and that just made me nuts. That album I did buy and loved it. I also bought the VHS video and watched it countless times. All those videos were just gorgeous and suited the songs perfectly.

After Rhythm Nation... nothing. I didn't really like her sound anymore since to me she'd always been about dance and beats. There were some songs later that I enjoyed hugely (e.g. If) but she never really rose up there with the my most favorite artists. But still I love and respect her a lot.

shreeeeeeee eeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee eeeeeeeek

[quote]I felt that family name was the only reason she got the role so I didn't really like her.

If you've read Melissa Etheridge's autobiography, you'd know that the part of Cleo on FAME came down to Janet and Melissa of all people! She talks about the experience in her book and said that she was basically floored when she looked across the room and saw Janet.

She was fat, then skinny, then fat, then skinny, then fat, then skinny, then fat.

[quote]She was fat, then skinny, then fat, then skinny, then fat, then skinny, then fat.

And you are a troglodyte forevermore.

How is that not true, R40?

Well, if you want to be technical, she was a very normal-sized teen and young adult but gained weight when she started taking birth control pills when she was married to James DeBarge, and for most of her adulthood she's struggled with her weight. Most of the time, she's in shape with (particularly when she's promoting an album and touring), but during downtime she eats what she wants and sometimes gains weight. She gained a lot of weight on purpose back in 2005 for the Lee Daniels movie TENNESSEE, but later backed out of the film when it was time to promote her album and the part went to Mariah Carey instead. Sidenote, Janet even took guitar lessons for the movie. She lost the weight in six months, and the result became the biggest selling US magazine cover of all time.

It's just that you added zero of note to the conversation, R41.

Now, I'll be having nightmares about Mizz Gordon and her iron!

Thanks, OP!

Wow this thread was so much fun the first 97 million times we did it, let's do it again, right?

WRONG.

The earliest recordings of Miss Jackson sounded lovely on our Victrola.

Children, stop bickering. Listen to this and BE HAPPY!

One thing I liked about her. Michael was such an exhibitionist but she kept her private life private. You would only find out she had been married when she got divorced. She had an affair with McBongo but kept it secret for years. A little discretion is the better part of valor.. or something.

She was smushing with McConaughey circa 2002-2003. They would've made some pretty babies.

Speaking of early Janet recordings, R46, she co-wrote and sang background on this early La Toya track called "Camp Kuchi Kaiai"

Why did she never have kids? Seems like the type who would have had a whole houseful.

Lena Horne hate the bitch!

I wonder whether fassbender would fuck her tired loose bb lacy puss.

I summon Janbot!

Srsly, Janet did a cover of a Joni Mitchell song, Beat of Black Wings. It was never released, but it's out there. How do I find an mp3?

[quote]Michael was such an exhibitionist but she kept her private life private.

I always loved that about Janet, she has always been extremely elusive about her personal life (ahem take notes Mariah!), despite being one of the most famous people in the world since childhood. She didn't need anything but the music to captivate people.

[quote]Why did she never have kids? Seems like the type who would have had a whole houseful.

I've also wondered this about her. I think when you come from a family that big, it changes your perspective on parenthood a lot.

She once said in a magazine interview that there was a time when she wanted a whole houseful of kids like her mother. I guess her perspective on the subject changed as she got older.

[quote]How do I find an mp3?

You can do a Youtube-to-mp3 conversion of the Youtube video of it. There are several video conversion sites on the net.

[quote]I wonder whether fassbender would fuck her

Whiteboys love her. Janet likes them too. She used to have a thing for Robbie Williams, and said that he was a perfect gentleman when she met him once. She was seen dining with Colin Farrell years ago. Deniro wanted her at one time. Kevin Costner was practically drooling over her on a Wetten Dass episode in 2001. And then there's McBongo, who definitely had her.

Michael and all his beards as publicity stunts. You would have thought Janet would have wanted publicity for fucking McBongo who was a big star back then (well he is again now). But she kept it all quiet. You've got to respect a superstar who isn't a publicity whore like Madonna, etc. Janet got all the class in that family.

That's what I love about her too. She never was a famewhore like your Madonnas and your JLos. She grew up with fame, so it was like second nature to her. And the mystery of her private life just adds to her appeal. If anyone is an Elusive Chanteuse (I'm looking at YOU, Mariah), it's Janet.

Lost all interest in this woman after Control in 1986. Seriously, I was a big record collector in the 80s, the 90s, and the first few years of this millennium. I have literally thousands of vinyl records and CDs, but I can't name a single song of hers after "The Pleasure Principle" was released in 1987.

LIAR.

then R60 you weren't that big of a collector. Some of her biggest hits were in the late 80s and throughout the 90s.

Janbot, please set this old kweeny cunt straight.

R61, that picture doesn't jar my memory. I still can't name any of her songs after 1987. I'm sure lots of people can, obviously. But I was speaking about myself.

[quote]I was a big record collector in the 80s, the 90s, and the first few years of this millennium.

r60 you must not have been that big of a collector if you missed Rhythm Nation. RN was the best selling album of 1990, and its singles charted for three calendar years, the first album in history to do that. It was also hugely influential to dance and R&B music for the next several years.

R64, I collected music that I liked and found interesting. I never bought a single record because of its place on a record chart. In fact, I tended to shun any music that was hugely popular and played in every club.

[quote]Janbot, please set this old kweeny cunt straight.

I was just about to.

I hardly believe R60 is any kind of music collector. Any casual terrestrial radio listener would have heard a Janet Jackson song since 1987, let alone a serious music collector. She has 10 Hot 100 #1s, dozens of top 10s and tons of dance and R&B hits. And, as R64 said, RN 1814 was the best selling album of 1990, and its singles made history. Her biggest hits were in the '80s, '90s and the early 2000s. She was all over radio then. RHYTHM NATION, ESCAPADE, THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES, BLACK CAT, LET'S WAIT AWHILE, SCREAM, ALL FOR YOU, IF, TOGETHER AGAIN...you're lying if you say the last song you heard from her was THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE.

Listen up, chump...

Wasn't she with Ben Franklin when he discovered electricity?

^^I thought your mother was.

Do you remember Ella Mae Morse? Marion Hutton? The wonderful Francis Langford?

No? Well, they're about as well-remembered today as Janet will be in 50 years.

R69 people don't remember her now. Just bitter snap queens with about as much singing talent as she did.

In 1986 she sounded new and exciting and different than most music being played in clubs. After that, not so much.

I DJ'd in a gay bar in 1987, then moved on to a gay club in 1988. Guess that sort of ruined Janet Jackson for me. Every other obnoxious, inebriated queen would be pestering me to play Janet Jackson and Madonna all fucking night long. It was years before I could listen to a Madonna record again. And never renewed my interest in any of the Jackson siblings.

[quote]No? Well, they're about as well-remembered today as Janet will be in 50 years.

You're reaching dear. It's unbecoming.

[quote]people don't remember her now.

Really? Then those pop acts emulating her every style, dance move and music video treatment are just pulling it out of thin air? No? I didn't think so.

Hasbeen? Bitch, just sit down in a corner and choke on those idiotic words. Janet is a trendsetting pop legend who laid the brickwork for the very women you dance around in your cluttered one-bedroom apartment to.

Where's the love for Jenny Lind?

[quote]Johanna Maria Lind (6 October 1820–2 November 1887), better known as Jenny Lind, was a Swedish opera singer, often known as the "Swedish Nightingale". One of the most highly regarded singers of the 19th century, she performed in soprano roles in opera in Sweden and across Europe, and undertook an extraordinarily popular concert tour of America beginning in 1850. She was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music from 1840.

Yeah, Bono was a fox back then.

The sad fact is if Janet Jackson had any REAL talent, she'd still be around today.

R57, so you are saying Janet was a slut?

We already know that!

The sad fact is if Madonna had any REAL sense of self-awareness AND talent, she'd actually be relevant today and not just a pitiable embarrassment.

[quote]so you are saying Janet was a slut?

No. What I'm saying is that a lot of men wanted her. You can count on little more than one hand the amount of men she's been with/linked to in all her years in the industry. Same can't be said for just about every major pop diva.

Why do so many white DL'ers keep coming for Janet? So what if you're Vadge stans; Janet is simply a better talent and better/more likable person.

Janet has fans of all backgrounds but the racists on DL really are something else.

I think that's part of it. Madonna fans, just like the cow they adore, hate other female pop stars, particularly ones they know are better looking and more talented.

Madonna does not envy the unemployed, fogotten flotsam of music.

There is nothing really to explain about Janet Jackson. She was led off to the glue factory and never returned.

Only really old queens even remember her.

Sad, but alas, true.

"OK kid, a kiss good-by and then you're Rebbie's problem."

R100/R101, you're embarrassingly, indefatigably lame. LAME. I don't even think LAME is an accurate enough word to describe just how LAME you really are. Janet Jackson IS the blueprint for today's modern renaissance female dance-pop star (singer, dancer, actress). They've just about ALL given props to her and have paid tribute to her in their own works and personal style. The evidence has been shown to you time and time and time again, and yet you still go on with your empty proclamations of "She's not remembered," "she's a hasbeen," yadda-yadda-yadda. Why don't you take your tiresome "insults" and go crawl back into your mommy's dank, dark, smelly basement. You're clearly not ready for the world.

Oh, and...

Also, R101, that you would Google photos of "Crying Black Babies" in some feeble attempt to throw out an insult to Janet Jackson speaks volumes about your hideously warped psyche.

Upon trolling various pop forums (such as Flop Of The Pops,ATRL,Popjustice etc.) I`ve noticed that practically nobody there(younger pop stans) knows who she is ,they`re all like `Who`s that,never heard of her` `I maybe know one or two songs and that`s it`. And she basically created their `faves`(videos,image,dancing,everything) ,even more than Madonna,I`d say.

Those are probably the 13-16 year-old set, who were still knee high to a grasshopper when Janet released her last studio album. And you are correct, she created their faves.

At least the world has plenty of glue now.

Thanks Janet.

Now now kids, watch this and expand your minds and learn something about the world:

Love that Marcus Nispel directed Runaway video! That song made her the first female artist in history to debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100.

Whoops! Ignore the speedo thingie.

R6, that was LATOYA Jackson, you idiot.

I'm under 30 and grew up hearing Janet.

Janbot damn I'd love to meet you some day lol You're by the far the most interesting and fun DL poster.

OP really nailed it when he had to restrict comments from the elder gays on this one.

No one else remembers her unless you were born before the Carter Administration.

I worked most of last year as a mentor to a class of college students. We spent long periods together writing and editing a publication, with music playing constantly.

They had many contemporary artists in their mix - and more Frozen than I ever wanted to hear - but the "older" artist they played - far more than Mooriah, or Christina Aguilera, or anyone else - was Janet.

So you bitches claiming she's irrelevant need to eat a big ole pile of shit.

Exactly, because she is the QUEEN.

The Queen of Glue!

She is a cwh.

Yeah, we know Rose. She had a few hits the old queens remember and then she was led off to the glue factory.

Old queens are so psychotic!

She was ground into Soylent Green. That's why nobody has heard from her in 2 decades. Enjoy your Soylent Green flavored Cheetos.

[quote]Awards that have Jack shit to do with vocal ability

Who said anything about having to win an award for vocal ability? She's a dance/pop artist. She's won several Grammys, which are the highest award a singer can receive, which attest to her talents, which makes anything you have to say on the subject null and void. Now sit your stupid ass down somewhere and shut the fuck up.

First off R132, learn how to spell before you come out of your mouth with bullshit. Secondly, Janet's relevancy is a non-issue, because she is a perennial pop icon whose legion of imitators are now enjoying fruitful careers because of the groundwork she laid. If not for her, there'd be no them. As for the nipple, well you can suck it.

[quote]Now sit your stupid ass down somewhere and shut the fuck up.

Yasss Janbot is about to regulate on you bitches! I bet you queens would not say this shit to Janbot's face, the tall, well built brother that he is. I can't help but envision him choking daylights out of some the rude bitches here.

Janbot I need to know, after reading your posts here, do you talk dirty during sex?

Love you!

LOL, they're not even worth the strength I'd have to muster up to choke them.

R135, I've been known to utter a filthy word or two while doing the deed.

Ugly, fat, rabbit-faced, delinquent parent. No wonder the world completely forgot about her.

Janet should do a duet with Madonna. The song should obviously be good, though. For some reason many times duets are really blah as songs.

Janbot, do you have a special someone you are going to bed with on this Saturday night?

[quote]Always overshadowed by her brother

Except when she did "Scream," as a favor to him to try to help resurrect his career.

The only thing you need to know about Janet can be said in one word.

Blackglama.

Look it up.

Yeah, the Rhubarb Lady and I are gonna kick up our heels down at the bowling alley cocktail lounge. See ya there, sailor!

LOL right on, R140!

R139, I'm actually about to go out for a few hours. We'll see where the night takes me...

[quote]Janet should do a duet with Madonna.

I don't think that would be fair to Madonna. Everyone knows she can't dance for shit, but putting her up against Janet onstage would be like watching a stealth ninja annihilating a grandmother.

Hope you make lots of money tonight, Janbot. That's what Saturday nights are for.

You want a date tonight? Y'all come down and see me tonight on the corner of Hollywood and Vine and we'll have a party!

Hello. Hello. This is the Datalounge. We are not interested in hearing in her praises sung.

We only want the list of who she has fucked.

To the Manor, born.

To the Manure, born.

It all started with Abe Vigoda on that guest spot.

[quote]We only want the list of who she has fucked.

She's had some lookers. My personal faves are McBongo, Q-Tip and her ex-hubby Rene (he was cute when she was with him, but when they split his looks went to shit).

...and she turned into a swine.

She had too much terrible plastic surgery. She ended up looking a caricature just like the rest of her embarrassing family.

Janbot do you like to fuck hard or are you more passionate/romantic?

Remember the episode where Lucy said, "I heard Janet Jackson is staying two floors above us. I got to meet her." And Ethel says "I've had sufficient."

[quote]Janbot do you like to fuck hard or are you more passionate/romantic?

It all depends on my mood.

omg Janbot are you into the "who's your daddy?" or "you're my bitch" stuff? lol Do you like to take "control" as part of your "pleasure principle" and do you like to "go deep"?

On her last tour, JJ struggled to fill a 2,200 seat theater in my town, while Madonna sold out two nights at an arena with 16,000+ per night.

R156 Vadge stans will accept anything from that talentless old hag. Shitney Spears sells too-that doesn't make either talented. It just means their fans have NO taste whatsoever.

Janet's music is actually listenable.

Isn't there a copy of her herpes meds prescription online?

R156, you think Janet had it rough in your city? Her little concert was CANCELLED in my city because nobody bought tickets.

R134, you mean this guy?

[quote]Vadge stans will accept anything from that talentless old hag.

Which is the sad part. Those pathetic people don't even realize that they're being swindled by a person who wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire. And she's ugly to boot. Janet OWNS Madonna on many different levels, particularly looks and talent. I love this particular little photo...

Aww, R160, It's too bad that's the condition you've currently gotten yourself into. Hire a personal trainer, boo.

R161, I'm sure you meant to post THIS one of Janet!

Pork, pork, pork from the Queen of Glue!

Janbot if you were out in public somewhere and randomly came across someone who made an insulting remark about Janet, would you say/do anything about it?

Even on her WORSE days, Janet Jackson still looks a thousand times better than this decrepit old seahag...

Janbot, you seem like some kind of oracle. What are the prospects for world peace?

[quote]Janbot if you were out in public somewhere and randomly came across someone who made an insulting remark about Janet, would you say/do anything about it?

No, I'd probably just give them the side-eye, something like this...

Wow.

Janbot have you ever met Janet? If so what was it like? Also, if you were to meet her and for whatever reason she was horribly rude to you, would that affect how you feel about her?

I don't know much about Janet's interactions with fans but I do know Vadge has a history of being a fucking cunt to even her most loyal diehards! I couldn't imagine staying a fan of someone who was rude to me for no reason.

Aww, that's nice of you to say, R167. I predict that someday we will all see eye to eye on all things that matter and are important. How far away that day is, I can't say for sure. The escort thing should be a cinch.

[quote]Janbot have you ever met Janet?

Briefly, two times. The first was in Harlem when she was signing copies of DAMITA JO. She was gorgeous and very petite, and her smile is even more radiant in person. Her choreographer Gil was sitting right next to her. The second time was at Virgin Megastore in Times Square when she was signing copies of 20 YO. She asked me how to spell my name (there are several ways to spell it), and personalized the disc for me. Gil was there (again, ugh!), and Jermaine Dupri was not too far off. Her handlers specified that we could not take photos with her or give her any kind of gifts, but she was so pleasant that I'm sure she wouldn't have minded. The line both times was wrapped around the building, and I'm sure they didn't allow of time simply because of the crowds.

Janbot if given the opportunity would you go straight for Janet for a night?

at least she was nice to you, unlike Vadge with her fans!

I remember my friend playing her cassette of "Control" on the beach when we were teenagers, in my severely white-bread, po-dunk town.

I agree that she crossed barriers, broke new ground, at least in some fashion.

Fun, catchy songs on that album. Some are on my mp3 player now.

Janbot, if you could take only ONE Janet track with you to a desert island, which track would that be?

Oh Nurse, this room is going to need a fucking truckload more of Loxitane!

yaaaaas! Janbot you confirmed you live in NYC! I'll definitely be on my lookout for your hotness the next time I'm there! I'll go around blasting Janet tunes in hopes of you approaching me! We can fuck to "If".

Janbot, what's your opinion of Janet's nose? Would you prefer she hadn't had it done?

Here she is boys!

Here she is world!

Here comes Janet!

Oh My God! She has "Grandma Arms"!

was Janet ever in any big tv commercials?

She starred in a series of Busby Berkley type Tampon commercials.

Her catch phrase from the commercial was "Tie the cord to your nipple clamp, Janbot".

Janet Jackson has a beautiful body. She is the Queen of cheeseburgers and fries.

This One.

[quote]Oh My God! She has "Grandma Arms"!

Madonna? She sure does. That's why she keeps them (thankfully) covered.

I'd probably take "Lonely" to the desert island--the RN 1814 song, not Velvet Rope's "I Get Lonely". It's a great slow track and highly underrated.

I'd LOVE to fuck to "If" (never have, lol)

I think that if she's happy with her nose then that's all that matters. I'm kind of neither here nor there with plastic surgery, at least until people start overdoing it.

[quote]was Janet ever in any big tv commercials?

She's done many Japanese commercials over the years, and in the late '90s she headlined the international Pepsi campaign ASK FOR MORE. In the Asian market, she dueted with Asian pop star Aaron Kwok, and in the South American market her duet partner was Ricky Martin...

Janet has had so many iconic videos in her career that you can't even count them up. She has definitely paved the way for the success of so many other female artists who came after her. But I think this is my favorite Janet Jackson video.

Troll alert @ R189.

R182, weren't those the commercials where'd she sing and dance through a song all about the joys of being on the rag?

The bitch can't sing.

[quote]The bitch can't sing.

Your mother can't sing, but that doesn't stop her from warbling in the shower while she's pleasuring herself with her shower nozzle.

Fortunately my mother keeps it in the shower, R193. Would that Miss Jackson has done so.

0/10, utter failure and a wet fart.

R189, it really DOES rub the lotion onto its skin!

SPANKY! SPANKY! SPANKY!

[quote]0/10, utter failure and a wet fart.

I agree. R194 is a failure in every sense of the word. But then again, so are you, R195.

Oh lord, now R196 is talking to himself by referencing himself at R189. Trolldar is there for a reason, sweetie.

Is there any "big career thing" Janet has had/done yet?

I never got the big thing about JJ. Same with Mariah.

R199, the biggest career thing Janet Jackson had done was her nose.

[quote]Is there any "big career thing" Janet has had/done yet?

Yep. 1986-2002

[quote]I never got the big thing about JJ.

You missed the boat, Rose.

Janet haters, stay pressed.

[quote] Except when she did "Scream," as a favor to him to try to help resurrect his career.

"Scream" is a really great tune, overshadowed, sadly, by Michael's eccentricities.

R202, you forgot this photo of Janet, hon.

Janet's collaborations with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, former members of Prince's protege band The Time, is what catapulted her into stardom. They were on a roll in the late 80's through the early 90's producing all sorts of hit songs for various artists.

Incidentally, Love Will Never Do Without You was originally meant to be a duet between Janet Jackson and Prince (hence the parts of the song that are sung in a lower voice), but he backed out of it due to being busy working on the Batman soundtrack.

She was also known for constantly gaining weight, then losing a bunch real fast. She looked ridiculous in the video for Escapade. It was beyond obvious they were trying to paint her face "skinny" with the garish makeup job she had, not to mention she's wearing a black trench coat in the middle of a sweltering hot desert.

I was supposed to go see her on her Rhythm Nation tour, but she cancelled the show due to being "sick" - yet she appeared on the MTV music awards like 2 days later looking fine.

The Velvet Rope was the last album of hers that I bought, and I wasn't really crazy about it. It just sounded uninspired/unfocused to me for some reason.

[quote]R202, you forgot this photo of Janet, hon.

Actually, I didn't forget about it, sweetie (although she does look pretty good there). The post I was responding to at R202 didn't call for a nude photo. In other words, if you were trying to be insulting then, well, you pretty much failed. Darling.

It's a new day, and Janet is still being flawless.

And you?

[quote]The Velvet Rope was the last album of hers that I bought, and I wasn't really crazy about it. It just sounded uninspired/unfocused to me for some reason.

You're clearly in the minority, Tommy. It's her most critically-acclaimed album for a reason...it's brilliant.

[quote]She looked ridiculous in the video for Escapade.

No she didn't. She looked radiant.

[quote]It was beyond obvious they were trying to paint her face "skinny" with the garish makeup job she had, not to mention she's wearing a black trench coat in the middle of a sweltering hot desert.

A) They did not "paint her face 'skinny'." If you had seen her perform the song on the AMAs in early 1990, you would've seen that her figure was actually pretty trim. No skinny paint needed.

B) It was a jacket. I suggest you look up "trench coat" in Google to see what one really looks like.

C) It was not a sweltering hot desert. It was the Old Mexico set on the backlot of Universal Studios. You know, the same one where Lady Gaga's "Judas" and many other films and videos were filmed?

[quote]It's a new day, and Janet is still being flawless. And you?

LOVE IT!!

Janbot's psychosis is mesmerizing to me. Her delusions, her endless anger, her frantic and continuous posts all point toward a very serious mental disturbance.

If only Janbot could go out more, maybe meet some friends, go to some clubs and see that music has entirely changed since the bubblegum tripe Janet Jackson was famous for---she'd learn something new.

She might even be able to become mentally healthy once again.

[quote]Janbot's psychosis is mesmerizing to me. Her delusions, her endless anger, her frantic and continuous posts all point toward a very serious mental disturbance.

You obviously take yourself WAY too seriously. To the point of being insufferable, actually.

[quote]If only Janbot could go out more, maybe meet some friends, go to some clubs

I go out on a daily, have a plethora of friends AND acquaintances, and I club quite frequently. Not as much as I used to, but still just enough that I don't exactly qualify as a complete home body (although I do actually prefer being home at times). But your concern is touching.

[quote]music has entirely changed since the bubblegum tripe Janet Jackson was famous for

Bubblegum tripe? Janet Jackson is known for her sonically innovate albums and hit singles, which helped to propel her into the pop music stratosphere. Albums like CONTROL, RN 1814, janet. and THE VELVET ROPE are far from what anyone with half a brain and any sense of good musical taste would call "bubblegum tripe." Are you confusing her with Tiffany? Perhaps Stacey Q?

[quote]she'd learn something new.

Honey, anything I need to learn you DEFINITELY couldn't teach me.

And don't forget Nasty and Escapade! They were to Janet Jackson as Ulysses was to James Joyce!

Nasty and Escapade shall live in the pantheon of human musical achievement for eternity. On that we are in agreement.

Totally.

Really.

I mean it.

^^Is that your idea of wit? I'm BOWLED OVER with laughter.

Totally.

Really.

I mean it.

0/10. You are being reductive, R215, but we are used to it. Now take your meds and go to bed. Tomorrow you are going to spend the morning gluing macaroni to colored paper plates.

We have your special "Janet Jackson" glue just for you to use. If you hold the bottle to your ear, sometimes you can hear Velvet Rope.

Reductive? Wasn't the 60 year-old sea hag MANdonna the one who put that silly word into the lexicon? It figures that you're one of her minions. And your tired, limp-wristed jokes about glue are like a -10/10.

Janbot when you're out in public, what kind of guy catches your eye? Any certain physical features?

Again, reductive. Thank you for once again presenting your psychosis on display for the world to view.

R220, the word was lame when the HAG used it in her envy-filled tirade against the infinitely more talented Lady Gaga, but seeing you overuse "reductive" here just borders on sad. Get a life, and get your own vocabulary while you're at it.

R219, Janbot it doesn't do any good to clean your cache and come back as different person talking to yourself. Believe me, we've caught on long, long ago.

[quote]Janbot when you're out in public, what kind of guy catches your eye? Any certain physical features?

I like a nice butt. Shoulders and arms are good too.

[quote] Janbot it doesn't do any good to clean your cache and come back as different person talking to yourself. Believe me, we've caught on long, long ago.

Um no, sweetie. R219 is most certainly not me, but the mere fact that you'd think that I'd do something so trivial just adds fuel to the fire. I haven't the time nor the interest in clearing out my cache in an effort to impress or delude a loser like you. However, if it makes you feel better and helps you sleep at night, then go on and think whatever you wish.

yeah I'm definitely not Janbot but I DO enjoy his posts! So fuck the haters. Love you, Janbot!

[quote]Believe me, we've caught on long, long ago.

Here's a list for that wheezing, delusional Janbot. A used cd store list of artists whose cd's they are forbidden to purchase due to too many of the stinking piles already crowding the bins.(2nd row, 10th one down). People can't unload that shit fast enough it seems.

R234, You are right. NO ONE wants to be seen listening to a Janet Jackson CD. Can you imagine the humiliation of being caught listening to that fat old hag?

Escapade, y'all!

R234, And we DO NOT SEE Madonna on that list of has-beens like Janet Jackson because Madonna continues to fill stadiums and is still musically relevant.

But Janet? Just another bottle of has-been glue.

Stay pressed, R234/R235/R236.

I can't take anyone seriously who thinks that Grandmadonna, who sounds like a screechy cat being poked with a branding iron, is something to present as a real argument.

Shhhh, child. Grown people are talking here.

Time to go back to the basement and gnaw on your pile of salt.

Told what? That Janet is an unemployed, fat, glue-horse who sold only unadulterated bubblegum tripe that is now PROVEN no body wants to buy?

We've been told. Thanks for telling us, Janbo.

Goodness, you have issues, R249.

You keep talking about horses. Are you Miss Helen Bedd?

[quote]And we DO NOT SEE Madonna on that list of has-beens like Janet Jackson because Madonna continues to fill stadiums and is still musically relevant.

Musically relevant? Madonna? On what planet? MANdonna performed at the Superbowl a couple of years ago, and soon after that performance, her laughably corny CD dropped. And then...

Crickets...

NO ONE BOUGHT THE CD! She had to give most of them away to her pitiful fanbase of stooges when they bought overpriced tickets to her Ol' Lady Show. Her MDNA holds the distinction of being THE fastest-plummeting CD in its second week out of all time. And rightfully so. It's horrid. Janet's DISCIPLINE, for all the flack it got about how it sold, doesn't even hold this "worthy" distinction. So yeah, Madonna is musically relevant, alright. Relevant to the tired old queens still supporting her. And ONLY them. Which is sad.

Any barnyard animal can adequately describe Miss Janet Jackson, not just horses.

Let's see Janet fill a stadium. Her personal and intimate show was CANCELLED in my city because no one purchased tickets to see the fat forgotten one.

He is a nutjob, isn't he? Between the horse thing and the glue thing, I'm undecided on whether I should pity him or just be plain old embarrassed for him. It's like poking a rabid dog with a stick.

[quote]Janhater=Realist

Well aren't you just a big bag of deluded hate and envy?

[quote]Let's see Janet fill a stadium. Her personal and intimate show was CANCELLED in my city because no one purchased ticket

Well...

Madonna played not too far from where I live too. For months, it was billed that she would be playing the M&T Bank Stadium, but when the time drew nearer, the venue was downgraded to the Verizon Center in DC. And do you know why? Because the amount of people willing to shell out money to see her isn't as big as her wrinkled old head and warped sense of hubris had initially assumed it would be. Imagine my glee when I heard about her downgrade of venue on the radio. I'm sure her shitty MD-CRAP-NA CD didn't help matters much.

Janet's UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL TOUR did remarkably well for a tour that contained no new material, and it did well on a WORLDWIDE scale, selling out at multiple stops. And, about those stadiums...

The UCAP tour achieved several attendance records, and was among the most attended concerts in the Reliant Stadium's history. THE RELIANT STADIUM.

She also played the YAS ARENA in Abu Dhabi, which is pretty big and almost stadium-like, so, sorry to disappoint your delusions of Janet's last tour being a failure but...it wasn't. Here's a photo of Janet's stop in Abu Dhabi during the UCAP Tour...

[quote]Partying like it's 1999, when LOL was cool and cutting edge.

R263 had to go to the National Archives in DC to dig up such old, bogus "factoids" about something that never happened eons ago.

And Madonna---well, she is STILL filling stadiums long after Janet Jackson was fired from TWO recording labels and had to end her career giving "intimate concerts" in bowling alley cocktail lounges.

Escapade, y'all, right down to any dark bar.

[quote]Blackglama? You must mean this...

LOL. Now you're reaching way back into the annals of this thread looking for insults? Honey, you're done. It's over. You've been handed your ass and now it's time to put that proverbial tail between your legs and trot on home (eww, now I'M using horse metaphors!).

Janet was only one in a LONG line of iconic divas who've been their "legends". I know it hurts you, but it's a fact of life that you're just going to have to get used to.

R268, you over, bitch.

What is all this hate on Janet Jackson? Janet Jackson is still around and I can testify that I caught her at the Palace. The place was packed.

R263 had to go to the National Archives in DC to dig up such old, bogus "factoids" about something that never happened eons ago.

Actually, my dear, it's not only true, but it happened with her MDNA Tour (aka the Old Lady Show).

And Janet was never fired from any label. With Virgin, her (legendary) contract had been fulfilled, and she ASKED to be let out of her Def Jam contract, because they didn't treat her with the respect that is warranted by a Queen.

This magazine cover is too funny for words, considering that Janet Jackson put her own baby daughter in a shoe box and left it on the door steps of a church.

Speaking of horses and animals and bestiality, is MANdonna still diddling doggies like she did in her SEX book?

Of course. She willingly allowed her music label to release her back into complete obscurity. Oh, except for all of the other music labels that had lined up to sign up Janet--NOT!

Janet was Billboard poison. Her fans had forgotten about her, music moved on, she got fat and ugly. More detritus in the world of music.

But Madonna, she continues to create and fill stadiums to SRO----and doesn't have to pathetically pullout any frayed and dusty notices from 1991 to prove it.

Face it. Only old fags (like Janbo) can remember Janet Jackson.

R273, that's cute, but it's nothing compared to how embarrassing MANdonna looked when she trotted out her token adopted black son to the Grammys the day after it got out that she'd used the N word on Instagram, and all while looking like a more demented version of Cane from POLTERGEIST II. If she thought she was saving face, it didn't work.

[quote]But Madonna, she continues to create and fill stadiums

Only in your mind.

R276, all that the world sees in that beautiful photograph is a the child a loving mother rescued from poverty and certain early death in Africa.

Oh, and of course Janet dug a water well big enough for a colony of ants on Madagascar. Wasn't she generous with her dough?

And the truth is this: No adoption society in the WORLD would give a child to someone like Janet Jackson knowing she had already abandoned her own child. Auntie Dearest Janet would have been more radioactive to legitimate adoption agencies than Joan Crawford.

[quote]You're broken, toxic and poison. I am not even REMOTELY taking you seriously

LOL, I don't take that thing seriously either, but it's so fun verbally annihilating him in this thread.

[quote]all that the world sees in that beautiful photograph is a the child a loving mother rescued from poverty and certain early death in Africa.

All the world saw (per the many news outlets and internet forums the following day) was an elderly white woman who'd stupidly said the N word on her social media account the previous day, who was trying to rectify said error by trotting out her token adopted son (ala Angelina Jolie) to a public event in order to save face. It was her way of saying "See! I'm not racist! I even have a black son!"

It was more transparent than the blue veins seen through her pale white arms.

[quote] It's so fun verbally annihilating him in this thread.

Janbot, what's the low-down on Janet and Michael's kids, and that whole thing where Miss Katherine was kidnapped? Does Janet get along with Paris, Prince and Blanket? Did she step up and intervene when Jermajesty Jackson ordered a tazer through the internet and tazered Blanket?

R285, it's so funny because in the other Janet thread he was calling Janbot "Jabba." That didn't catch on either. Poor thing, he's as humorless as the sour, pretentious hag he worships so dearly.

She was VERY generous with her dough, as always. Many celebs funded a well, but she was the only one to fund the building of several of them. Clean drinking water for those children is an important issue, one that someone with your low IQ and simplistic sensibilities is obviously too slow to understand. And what have YOU done for the world lately? Nothing? I didn't think so.

[quote]Of course. She willingly allowed her music label to release her back into complete obscurity.

Obscurity? Surely you motherfucking jest. Janet Jackson has been famous since she was 7 years old. She doesn't know what it means NOT to be famous, which is why she was never the fame whore that MANdonna was (and still is). When she was collecting checks on GOOD TIMES, MANdonna had just started selling her cooch to the lowest bidder on various street corners in NYC.

LOL! Yes, and as we all see, that thing has run off like the cowardly coward we all knew he was. I shall not be defeated, particularly by these wimpy, Janet-hating DL nutcases.

NEW ALBUM COMING SOON.

Whose album,R293?

Just created a new thread about it, R294. The return of the one and only is near-at-hand.

Absolutely the most empty, pathetic thread on DataLounge.

Come join our delusion!

And yet you decided to chime in and bring us that much closer to 300 posts. The only thing that's empty is your head.

Jabba once said she was a hood rat from Harlem (her words, not mine). What would one expect?

Wow that Vadge stan is just a racist piece of shit, spewing filth in any thread it enters. Not surprised. Only a Vadge stan could be so detestable.

I'm only using the words Jabba used earlier to describe herself. You have a problem with that, take it up with Jabba.

If you're referring to me, then you're very much mistaken. I am from no where near Harlem. MAJOR faux pas on your part.

Let's discuss!

The "Let's discuss" poster is not me, but I do like him.

What's a Janet Jackson?

Bitch used to constantly upstage me in my rotating array of wigs!!

I remember her being a mega superstar of music from the late '80s to the early 2000s, but then her titty popped out at the Superbowl and it was like she may as well have never been famous at all. All the misogynists, racists, and Puritans were completely appalled and it was like they all collectively vowed never to utter her name again. From what I hear, Les Moonves (owner of CVS and co-president of Viacom) made it a personal mission to bring her down after the Superbowl and destroy her legacy. He apparently ordered VH1/MTV and Viacom-owned radio stations to quit playing her music.

None of her songs have even reached 100 million yet on Spotify which is pretty surprising to me. It is almost unheard of for a supposed legend. Lord knows how relevant she'd be now if the infamous wardrobe malfunction never happened. But with the new Britney Spears documentary showcasing how he treated her after their breakup, people are starting to look at the way he treated Janet after the Superbowl as well. Also, they're examining how and why she got all the negative publicity and her career was trashed whereas he got away unscathed. They even got one off her albums charting this week. So now that the documentary is creating buzz around her name again, maybe they'll start to revisit her catalogue and she can make some sort of comeback.

It was long ago and far away... Ronald Reagan was our president then, and the Twin Towers proudly stood watch over Manhattan....

I've seen both Janet Jackson and Britney Spears in concert. I'm not sure who was the best lipsyncer. Neither sang a note live at either show but I Janet was definitely the best dancer.

I miss her. What happened to her at the Superbowl was a tragedy and it's terrible that she was driven into near obscurity because of it. These days I think it would be a completely different story. The Republican "think of the children" prudes would be offended of course but they always are. Meanwhile those same kids were upstairs listening to "WAP" (Wet Ass Pussy) and made it the #1 song for weeks. But I think a lot of Twitter would have her back and not let big media figures get away with ridiculing her and blacklisting her like they did back then.

It depends on your background. I'm black and Janet never went away like she did in mainstream (white) pop culture. She was still being played on urban stations, was still on the cover of black magazines, was starring in Tyler Perry movies, Good Times would still air in reruns and BET would still play Nutty Professor and Poetic Justice. Her songs "I Want You" and "Call On Me" got decent airplay on BET at least late night. And the blacklisting was finally lifted when she released Discipline because "Feedback" got a ton of airplay on MTV and BET and she was promoting it on TRL and 106 & Park. But by that point, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Ciara took her spot as dance-R&B divas.
