As an influential member of the RRHF Jann Wenner has arbitrary rules that apply to different acts. If he doesn't like an act either personally or musically he argues different set of rules to keep them from being nominated or inducted. For instance if a band had studio musicians playing the music in the first album, they shouldn't be nominated even if they were great live and played on all their successive records. But other acts that had professional studio musicians only on their records were inducted. After the 1990s it has become all politics which is why Janet Jackson would get in but many talented acts with numerous chart hits from the 1960s and 1970s have not.

Diva Brigade:

Now that Janet Jackson and solo Stevie Nicks are finally in the Hall, these are the other key eligible female artists who might have a shot but haven't been nominated or inducted yet. So get cracking and start calling all your favorite inducted rock stars, influential critics and titans of the music business!

Connie Francis, Lesley Gore, The Shangri-Las, Peter, Paul & MARY!, Sonny & CHER, Dionne Warwick, Judy Collins, The Pointer Sisters, Carly Simon, Carole King (as a performer - she's in as a songwriter), Tina Turner (solo, she's in with Ike), Labelle/Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, The Carpenters, Diana Ross (solo), Bette Midler, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Janis Ian, Natalie Cole, the women in Chic, The B-52s, Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, The Go-Go's, The Runaways, The Bangles, Cyndi Lauper, Eurythmics, Whitney Houston, Sade, Tracy Chapman, Sinead O'Connor, Melissa Etheridge, Indigo Girls, Mariah Carey, the women in Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins, Alanis Morissette, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Hole, Liz Phair, PJ Harvey, TLC, Fugees, Toni Braxton, Tori Amos, The Breeders, Sarah McLachlan, Salt 'n Pepa, Suzanne Vega, Lucinda Williams, and Siouxshe & the Banshees.

I did not include Barbra Streisand because although she's wonderful she would have a less than one-percent chance of ever being nominated.

by Anonymousreply 46December 13, 2018 2:41 PM

I'm happy for her. It's been a long road back to grace since Nipplegate. I'm sure the revelation of Moonves' devious ways also played in her favor. Also disgusted Tina Turner hasn't been inducted as a solo performer. And Pat Benatar should've been in by now.

One of the biggest oversights is Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. Rolling Stone (and Jann) notoriously hates them both, but BAT OUT OF HELL is one of the Top 10 bestselling albums in history, some charts placing it as high as #3, so to not include at least Meat is inexcusable. Plus, Meat had one of the biggest comebacks in rock n roll history with "Anything For Love" going #1 in like 30 countries and winning a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal. I guess we know what "that" is finally, at least.

Janet can't/couldn't sing live to save her life, but THE VELVET ROPE is a masterpiece. Brilliantly produced, exquisite songwriting and totally different from anything out there at the time. I remember the *HUGE* deal it was when it came out, with Virgin Records (RIP) in NYC being deluged with that iconic album art everywhere. So many good songs and an album you want to play all the way through. I also remember there was controversy at the time because it was like exactly 80 minutes, which is the absolute most you can fit on a CD, and there was some factory fuck-up and they had to reprint a huge amount of the CDs because they didn't come out correctly and the disc company only insures discs of 75 mins or less so Virgin had to eat the difference. I'm sure Janbot knows more about that, but I'm glad we got the extra 5 minutes, if only for the atmospheric interludes and the little details that made it so awesome.

R109 = Moron.

Janet has been a tireless live performer since first embarking on her debut world tour nearly 30 years ago. Her tours are legendary, and they’re the blueprint for the way the current crop of young pop stars stage their own shows. There are various videos on YouTube which show how everyone from Rihanna to Beyoncé to Britney have mimicked Janet’s shows down to the minutiae.

There are some similar themes that ran through some of her tours, but by and large each tour was majorly different. The VR tour was dark and elegant. RN Live was industrial, sparse and metallic. The janet. Tour was sensual and had that wonderful Antoni Gaudi inspired set. The All For You Tour was spaceous and bright. And the Rock Witchu Tour had a catwalk, featured a “Good Janet vs Evil Janet” film segment throughout, and Janet even performed songs that she’d never performed on tour before, including stuff from her first album. Her latest shows, UNBREAKABLE and STATE OF THE WORLD, did not feature a whimsical act nor did she pick a guy from the audience, and the latter was more serious and political in tone, keeping in step with what’s currently going on in the world. All of her shows also had drastically different and dramatic entrances.

Her choreography is iconic and is what fans want to see. Nobody wants to see new routines to Rhythm Nation or If, which is why those routines largely remain unchanged. And she has switched up the choreography for a lot of her routines over the years (Nasty, Lately, When I Think of You, etc) and she’s constantly changing the arrangements to many of her hits when she performs them on tour.

And why am I explaining any of this to you? Janet’s legacy is sealed. And...

SHE IS BEING INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!!!!!!!!!

HAGdonna got in on the first try because the old guy she begged to sign her while he was on his sick bed is on the committee. It’s certainly not because of any “talent” that she may have, because all she really is is a savvy rip-off artist. Janet’s win is more satisfying because it was a hard-fought victory and the sweet taste of it is magnified that much more by the victory itself and by the fact that her detractors are STEAMING MAD with envy, bitterness and hate. What’s more, while Janet has been riding high all year being awarded left and right for being the icon that she is, two of the men responsible for her blacklisting (TimberWIMP and Moonves) are having...I’ll just say...a LESS THAN stellar year.

Janet's career ended the same day as the Superbowl performance. There is no doubt about that now. Sure, the album she was promoting wasn't very good and flopped pretty badly, but that didn't stop All For You from becoming a success earlier in the decade. Still, a nearly 20 year career as an influential hitmaker and dancer is still impressive. Music today is crap anyway. I hardly listen to any new stuff anymore. And yes, The Velvet Rope is widely considered her best album although I prefer Janet.

Why the campaigning for George Michael? What exactly did he do to be worthy of induction? He released six albums in total over 32 years (counting Wham!) and only two of them were significant. Madonna had double that amount and about five of them were game-changing and iconic. I'd rather see Mariah get inducted over him for the fact that she's written and produced the majority of her work (she's also written all but one of her 18 #1 hits, 14 of them she's produced or co-produced.) As well as actually having influence on a generation of singers and songwriters.

[quote]Has Janet inspired any male rockers like Stevie has many times over?

Well...

[italic]The "Guitar Mix" features Vernon Reid of Living Colour. Reid stated, "'Black Cat' was one of my favorite tracks on Rhythm Nation. I had the song and learned the parts, the structure of it, and just went in and did it. I think we used the second take. I just wanted to get into that arena thing. It's meant to sound really big."

Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead intended to record a version of "Black Cat" with Jackson, but was prohibited. Lemmy stated, "I wanted to do a version of 'Black Cat' with her, but Sony wouldn't let me. You could tell from the video that she was having a good time, that this loud rock music is what she really wanted to be doing. I love that fuckin' song.. Great fuckin' song that but the record company wouldn't let it be possible." Lemmy later revealed Jackson as his most desired collaboration and planned to record a new version with her for his unreleased solo album Lemmy & Friends, saying "I want to get Janet Jackson to do this great single called 'Black Cat'.”

Dave Navarro recorded an additional opening and riffs throughout the version performed on Jackson's Rock Witchu Tour, appearing on screens during the rendition. Navarro previously collaborated with Jackson when remixing her song "What'll I Do" with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Pop/Rock singer Adam Levine once tweeted: “Even for as huge as Janet Jackson is. I stil feel like her records are underrated. #brilliant”. He was also stated that a photograph shot of him while naked with a woman’s hands hiding his genitals from behind was his male version of Janet’s iconic 1993 Rolling Stone cover.[/italic]

Madonna paved the way for fuck all. She was “The other girl—the one who wears wedding gowns and sings about virgins” when she and Cyndi were battling it out on the charts. Janet came into her own as the young woman from the fabulously famous and wealthy first family of music, asserting a sassy, streetwise persona that declared her independence from said family. She was a dance diva of color who showed young girls, particularly young black girls, that they could be assertive without being slutty, and she could dance her ass off while doing it.

If not for Moonves, who was reportedly incensed that Janet never called him and personally apologized about the SB, Janet would have surely been inducted, if not in 2007 (her first year of eligibility) then much sooner than now. Hell, even the Rock Hall CEO went on record saying she should have long been inducted, and each year since her first nomination journalists wrote many articles about how she’d glaringly been overlooked.

Janbot -- what is the story with Runaway? Why no version on either spotify or youtube?

by Anonymousreply 259December 16, 2018 6:32 AM

“Runaway” is a bit of an enigma in that it was a big hit and was the first song by a female artist to debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100, but she didn’t perform it much on tour. Not sure why it’s not on Spotify, but it is on Tidal. I loved the exotic video.

R274 when Janet's star started to dim in the 90s she did a series of commercials in California that endorsed a small mexican food chain (at that time) called Baja Fresh. She got a lot of shit for it but I always thought that celebrities did endorsements all the time so I don't see what the big deal was.

Then there was a story of her giving her family Baja Fresh gift cards for the holidays while she was doing this endorsement deal but I have no idea if that ever happened or not.

that's weird R328 because the article you keep posting says she gave baja fresh cards to her family in 2003, but she was doing commercials in the 90s? JJ was at her peak for most the 90s so your facts might be a little off. So was her family getting free Baja fresh since the 90s?

I'm also curious as to why you keep posting that article. If it is true (which it isn't, Stacy Brown is a proven liar), would JJ giving her family cards for unlimited food be a bad thing? I don't know what Baja Fresh is, we don't have them in the northeast, but if my sister gave me a card to use whenever i wanted for free, I certainly wouldn't complain. Are you cryptically suggesting that she should somehow support her adult siblings financially?

Lol R388, as if.

Beyonce has given props to Janet—a woman she’s idolized since grade school—more times than enough, from her time in Destiny’s Child when she performed at Janet’s MTV Icon special (fellow DC member Kelly Rowland idolizes Janet too, but, I digress) to her documentary, to several moments on the red carpet. Some Bey quotes:

“When I was younger, I was in a group called the Smooth Dancers...we did Rhythm Nation, Escapade...we used to win up everything in the competitions because we learned it from Miss Janet.”

“I’m a huge fan of Janet’s, I grew up watching her...”

“(Janet) is one of my biggest inspirations...I’m excited to see her...”

“When you look in the audience and you see this little girl who was me when I was looking at Michael it JANET or Tina Turner...”

In a recent interview with the Telegraph, Nicks raved about Beyoncé’s levelheadedness and general awesomeness: “Beyoncé’s great. She’s got her alter ego [Sasha Fierce], but Beyoncé the girl, the woman, is very sweet and nice and polite. She’s a good role model. She’s not skanky. I’m glad we have her,” she said.

Janet’s RN Tour was the only tour by a female act to land in the top 10 US box office concert grosses for 1990. Madonna and Blonde Ambition were nowhere to be found.

Janet still holds the records for biggest debut world tour and fastest sellout of the Tokyo Dome

The Aloha Stadium in Hawaii had to be fitted with extra seating to accommodate the massive turnout when Janet performed there in 1998 at a stop during her Velvet Rope World Tour

The airing of her 1998 Velvet Rope MSG concert broke ratings records when it aired on HBO. The special also took home an Emmy.

Janet has been playing to sold out crowds in arenas and stadiums on six of the seven continents since 1990. Her legendary tours have been the benchmark for the way current pop stars like Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga, Katy, Britney, et. al. tour and stage their own shows.

And she is getting inducted into the RNR Hall of Fame in a matter of months.

Stay pressed.

For the bonehead at R483–

[italic]Pollstar has just compiled the top tours of 1990. The leaders and their gross box office receipts: New Kids on the Block ($74.1 million), Billy Joel ($43 million), Paul McCartney ($37.9 million), Grateful Dead ($29 million), Janet Jackson ($28.1 million), Aerosmith ($27.4 million), MC Hammer ($26.3 million), Mötley Crüe ($24.7 million), Phil Collins ($23.8 million), Eric Clapton ($20.7 million), David Bowie ($17.9 million) and Madonna ($16 million). Morse, Steve (January 4, 1991), "Neil Young has a date at the Garden", The Boston Globe, ISSN 0743-1791[/italic]

These were US figures and Madonna was outside of the top 10. So, to reiterate, JANET JACKSON WAS THE ONLY FEMALE TOURING ACT TO RANK WITHIN THE TOP TEN HIGHEST GROSSING TOURS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE YEAR NINETEEN NINETY.

What has she done in the last 28 years? Let’s see. She’s...

Sold millions of albums

Racked up 8 of her 10 Hot 100 #1s and dozens of R&B, Dance and AC #1s

Won several Grammys, MTV Awards and a slew of other awards, both domestically and internationally

Nabbed an Academy Award nomination

Signed two of the biggest record deals in history in one decade

Created a slew of innovative and iconic music videos that have been emulated by generations of pop stars to come after her

Starred in several films

Penned a NY Times #1 Bestseller

Released 7 of her 11 studio albums, 5 of which debuted at #1, which in total make her the one of one three artists and the ONLY black artist to have a #1 album each of the last 4 decades

Set many Billboard chart records, some of which took over a decade for artists like Shania Twain and Lady Gaga to match, and others which still have not been matched (seven Top 5 singles from one album, three #1s from one album in three separate calendar years...)

Became the first artist to have a Hot 100 #1 single in the ‘80s, the ‘90s and the 2000s when her single “Doesn’t Really Matter” topped the charts in August of 2000

Became the first woman to have five back to back #1 albums on the Billboard 200

Became the first woman to debut an album at #1 during the SoundScan era

Became the first woman to debut a single in the top 10 of the Hot 100 (1995’s “Runaway”)

Started a feminist movement in the last presidential election with her pop culturally-significant song “Nasty” without even having a hand in it

Toured six of the seven continents, performing before millions of fans in arenas and stadiums the world over

Made the top five list of [italic]Songs Included on My IPod/IPad/what-have-you[/italic] of several other celebrities, including icon Stevie Nicks (Stevie recently revealed that she loves “That’s the Way Love Goes” and “Go Deep”) and lesser, Madonna, who once included Janet’s “Feedback” on her Top Five Songs list and said, “This is a great song to dance to.”

Continued to inspire the children (see Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney, Ciara, Gaga, Katy, Kelly Rowland, Mya, Jennifer Lopez, Aaliyah, Teyana Taylor, etc.)

And...

Madonna made more money. With fewer shows. And no words from your keyboard can change that fact.

Not everyone who makes the top five gets in. It’s usually only the top two in the fan vote who definitively get in. In her first year of nomination, Janet was #1 in the fan votes for at least two days before bots took over for some of the hard rock acts, which is why they changed the voting process the following year. Anyhow, the fan voting only counts for 1% of the tallies, anyway, and is really only there for bragging rights of the artists who get to #1. It is ultimately the committee who decides who gets in. This bullshit story is nothing more than a bunch of made up hooey, fabricated because some asswipe who wanted to see Janet denied a third time is salty because Janet is finally getting in (when she should have BEEN in). And to the poster upthread, you can take this shitstained fake story and ram it up your ass.

With Madonna’s constant public sniping at Gaga, and Justin’s long list of douchebaggery a well known thing, no “smear campaign” against them would have benefited Janet getting in to the Hall if the committee didn’t want her in there. If I were Janet, I would actually be flattered that someone would go so far as to make up such utter bullshit out of envy.

R529 " In her first year of nomination, Janet was #1 in the fan votes for at least two days before bots took over for some of the hard rock acts, which is why they changed the voting process the following year."

After her first nom, Janet was in the lead less than 24 hours while the numbers were still tiny. After they fixed the alleged bot problem that you claim was the cause of her losing that lead lead, the next time she was nominated, she actually did WORSE in the poll. Just like this year despite the hoopla and push, she only came in 6th.

JanBot already knows this, because it came up in another thread when JanBot tried to spread this lie. JanBot can't not keep lying though.

by Anonymousreply 570January 1, 2019 3:14 AM

Why should I explain it to you? It is all out there for you, dear. Moonves was president of CBS, of which Viacom is the parent company of. As such, he had a LOT of power. He ordered Viacom-owned MTV and Vh1 to stop playing Janet videos, ordered all Viacom owned radio stations to stop playing her music, dis-invited her from the 2004 Grammys, and years later he threatened that heads would roll when a book deal Janet secures through one of CBS’s subsidiaries went through without him knowing. Hell, he even tried to ruin Howard Stern. He’s a monster, and is getting everything he deserves.

by Anonymousreply 572January 1, 2019 3:40 AM

For JABBA/R571:

[quote]The most recent hit job by Resurrect Janet was written by HuffPost, and it claimed that former CBS boss Les Moonves, who allegedly held racial and gender animosity towards the singer, was completely responsible for Janet’s downfall. The article claimed that Moonves had several radio stations, MTV, and other outlets outright ban Janet for years. Most of the media bought this completely pre-written piece (with “editing” by Resurrection Janet) without doing an ounce of research.

[quote]There is a smidgeon of truth to this — Janet’s album Damita Jo, released after the Super Bowl incident, was pretty much banned at MTV and radio stations owned by CBS. This is because CBS lost millions of dollars from the wardrobe malfunction — one which wasn’t planned but could have been avoided had Janet not tried to do something that CBS didn’t approve in rehearsals. Damita Jo still sold over a million copies in the United States — not great, but not a huge flop either.

[quote]As colleagues from MTV have repeatedly told me, there was absolutely no ban on Janet Jackson in 2006 when she released her album 20 Years Old, which was an organic flop. And her 2008 hit “Feedback,” which was played on several CBS radio stations, was in heavy rotation on MTV. But the 2008 album Discipline was a stinker that audiences didn’t connect with. And that’s Janet’s fault — not MTV’s, not Madonna’s, not Justin Timberlake’s, or certainly not the fault of Les Moonves. Like her brother, Janet Jackson blames her failures on everybody but herself.

But then again, JABBA goes ballistic and calls bullshit when confronted with facts. All JABBA's doing now is lying like she did with that RRHOF bot bullshit she spouted a few years back.

And JABBA won't counter these accusations with FACTS.
