adylovestaylorandjb Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Janet fans acting like her music was not commercial when she had commercial videos, commercial songs for her time. It is just that she never touched heights of madonna whitney mariah. That doesn't make her sade Or enya rofl Edited October 28, 2023 by adylovestaylorandjb
CaptainMusic Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 Didn’t know any of them but I’m glad I was introduced to them. They’re all great, especially Love Will Never Do

adylovestaylorandjb Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 Just now, CaptainMusic said: To be fair Madonna, Whitney and Mariah (pre Butterfly) were more Pop than Janet though, so that gave them an advantage over her worldwide. That doesn't make her non commercial. The narrative is that her fans like to make her some non commercial artist when she wasn't. She had high publicity, videos to go with commercial music. She wasn't non mainstream like sade Or enya.
AvadaKedavra Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Nope. Dont know any of them. Im from Southamerica and i think she was overshadowed by Michael Jackson here. Im totally sure is one of the reason why she's so unrecognized sometimes wtih the exception of the USA. Even with the best music her brother was the most successful singer-all time. He stole her spotlight But im so curious. From all the largest divas janet jackson discography is my most unrecognized one. i cant wait to check all her records.

Kyle-x Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 Of course. When I was a kid I sought out to listen to all of the music by the legendary women who paved the way to know the historical record.

Mariah pre-Butterfly (minus 2/3rd of Litter Box) was not more pop than Janet's RN and Control. Debut was contemporary R&B and Emotions was entirely influenced by Motown sounds (soul, gospel, disco, even jazz). And Daydream rather than Butterfly was her initial shift to hip-hop influenced R&B (while still maintaining some contemporary R&B tracks like One Sweet Day). Edited October 28, 2023 by suburbannature
suburbannature Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 This topic is so tired, though. Downplaying Janet's impact on atrl will never take away from all that she achieved.
BILLIONAIRE✘BOY Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 I did not, nobody should feel personally attacked by that fact either

Ron Ng Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 No, honestly I didn't know she has that many #1s before ATRL.
Nightingale Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 I only knew Rhythm Nation the song. Knew all the other songs after getting into her music. Shame the Super Bowl destroyed her career
