Anyone who's knowledgable about both artists knows.

You keep saying that. It's been proven that NOT EVERYBODY knows about Janet's "iconic" moments and you have failed to name them. That speaks for itself. Janet is not iconic.

Right. I wouldn't expect you to own a TV.

both artists? but when someone "knowledgeable" about Britney lists her "iconic" moments, you dismiss them and say only ...Baby One More Time counts. Like I said, there are differing views & I want your views on some of Janet's iconic moments. I didn't say list everything you can.

This is all he/she could come up with when I asked him/her to name Janet's "iconic" moments

Because some of what was listed wasn't iconic - mastubating on stage, riiiight.

Look, if I watch that video, I will FIND OUT about Janet's "iconic" moments. When I tell you The Madonna kiss is iconic you IMMEDIATLY picture it. You don't need to watch it. You already remember it. That's how you know it is iconic. Nobody has to REMIND you.

With that said, Janet is not iconic. There's no need for this thread anymore.

well yea, but still, it's the thought that counts.
won't you think of me?

From the way y'all are going back and forth I assumed Britney was murdering Janet in the poll but she's slightly in the lead

The answer is not that "obvious" I guess.

The thing is, Madonna and Michael ARE iconic. Janet is NOT. Just because she was hot in their time doesn't mean she HAS to be iconic. Her most remembered moment is the Superbowl.

Girl bye.

-Rolling Stones Cover with her boobs covered (iconic)
-Rhythm Nation Music Video and Look
-Love Will Never Do Without You Video and Look
- Becoming the first female artist to score 7 top 10 hits off one album
- Miss You Much Chair breakdown scene
-The If song Breakdown dance
"Miss Jackson if ya nasty" (Something Britney til this day steals with her constant use of "get nasty"
- Her roll as Penny on Goodtimes
- Her roll in Poetic Justice
-Her scandal of hiding a marriage for 10 years
- Superbowl Performance (More known and scandalous than anything Britney has ever done outside of going nuts with her breakdown)
-The Scream Video

etc. etc.

Not to mention Janet has much more esteem, in the industry. Britney was always looked as a pop tart joke. Let's be real. Up until her breakdown no one took her seriously as an artist until they felt pity for her. She couldn't even get a moon man, and she is supposed to be MTV's Golden Girl.

Funny enough in Britney's Prime,MTV was awarding Janet with the MTV ICON award and show. Something Britney herself attended.

Don't try it.

YES HUNNY. It was headlining worldwide news, and if you were relevant during the late 90's to early 00's you knew all about it. She released issue of her divorce to her manager Rene Elizondo.

Google it honey. You will find LOTS of tea.

Oh yeaaaaaaa I forgot about that. It's sad how MTV has changed. They gave Janet Jackson a full tv special with the best and biggest artists (Christina, Britney, Jlo, Destiny's Child, Stevie Wonder, Nsync, Pink, Usher, Outkast, Busta) saying how she inspired and how she is an icon, then 10 years later they give Britney that HORRIBLE tribute for the Vanguard Award. Really ****ed up.
