I don't understand the disrespect for an artist who has been praised for her influence in performance and visuals was left off this list and it's truly cruel and insulting to her legacy. As a performer she has influenced 90% of the women listed on that list and I know it's just a stupid list, but Billboard is a respected publication and to list ALL of her peers and skip her was an intentional slap in the face. did you write them? If not, you should. I sure did write him.

LOL, I feel like that first one from the 1987 Grammys with the rearrangement of WHYDFML is just like "Haters can suck it! I don't lipsync!" That performance was so fierce, it's easily in the top 20 best performances eva. I am literally stunned and offended that she was excluded.

I just listened to New Edition's Heart Break album and Ralph Tresvant's self titled debut.
Heart Break is like the sequel to Control and a prequel to Rhythm Nation.
Ralph's voice reminds me of Janet's and Michael's, she could've easily done a duet with him and it would've been perfect. I can hear her on Money Can't Buy Love and Sensitivity.
Anyone else agree?

Didn't she do uncredited background vocals for "Sensitivity"?

Wasn't he on The Best Things in Life Are free? Indeed!

I've always been impressed with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis' work with Janet, but seeing all of the other work they did, especially during the new jack swing era, is near perfect.
They are geniuses. Them along with Babyface and LA Reid are untouchable.

Plus, no matter what she's up to now or how anyone else feels about it, the tour needs to continue. She can do festival dates first to get some attention and then go some small legs around the world. The constant postponing/cancellations really upset a lot of diehard fans. But much of the general public would still be here for Janet if they hear how awesome Unbreakable is. So everything is on pause right now, but it can and should be picked back up. A fresh new start.

Smart woman, great business mind. She said I ain't jumping ship until I secure my first real child out of this marriage, 18 years of billionaire child support is a nice bonus while she squirrel that Jackson money. She don't need no man's money but that sperm was needed for the baby and my girl said deuces.
Can't wait for the next era, sultry ,sexy Janet is back whispering sweet nothing in our ears.

Sad about the breakup but so so glad if that means we will get Janet we fell in love with. I must say that I did not get into her last album partly (or largely) because of her 'new image' It was just not Janet I liked from 1991 anymore

The whole album is the ultimate jam.
Hopefully Jansus Christ will deliver a suitable follow-up.
