I wouldn't know, Janet is local. Beyoncé took that to a global scale. We appreciate Janet's efforts though!

- songs with political themes (feminism and black empowerment)

- top quality performances (skills and production)

- fun and bold choreography

- visual albums

- surprise drops

- fast singing

- no traditional promo, use of her own platforms instead (many have followed, very rare to see MPGs doing interviews or TV appearances in general)

 

 

 

- rap singing 

- female stadium only tours 

- being extremely private and not letting the public know anything about her or her life 

- pushed the whole genre bending thing

- unparalleled work ethic

- entrepreneurship 

 

 

OT : most of the girls mentioned in the OP didn't bring anything to the table let alone something new
