I have nothing against this thread but something I've noticed on prince.org is how white folks love to compare white artists and black artists...

Which key combination shows you prince.org member race statistics? I'd love to know. Thanks!

She's done mighty, mighty well to have had a career ever since she was a small child. People forget, she was thrusted into the family business without ANY say so by her father. Then, some behave as if it's her fault that she did as she was told as a child, found her way, made the best out of what she had and became the second most successful JACKSON! Yeah, image, using her family name-even when she had no choice but to do as she was told as a child and using her small boobs made her one of the most successful women in music! Oh, hell yes! That makes perfect sense! Whatever!

BIG boobs? What kind of freaky ass street do you live on where that majority of females are below a C-cup?

Okay. Yeah, nobody in the past 50 years of music is original IMHO, but if I like a song than I like a song, liking an artist comes secondary to that. People compared MJ to James Brown. People compared Prince to Jimi Hendrix and Sly. People compared Madonna to Debbie Harry. Now, we have new versions of Prince, MJ, and Madonna on the charts. Music is based of off personal preference, so arguing about Kylie being better than Janet, or vice versa is kinda pointless especially since they both started out on TV shows. Janet just had the upper hand because she was a Jackson. We didn't have 'Neighbours' in the US, but I don't know if 'Good Times' was on TV in Australia, so shrug . I had never even heard of 'Neighbours' until 1999 and I called it the foreign version of 'Friends' when I heard what it was about. God, how I hated 'Friends'barf Saying one is better than the other is like saying Fuji apples are better than MacIntosh apples...they're both damn apples, with slightly different tastes. Now, if you're going to compare apples to oranges, than that's a different story. I wanna see a Madonna/Janis Joplin comparison or Britney/Bjork comparison. Compare Justin Timberlake to Frank Sinatra, so I can see a real debate. lol

I guess this is why I have given up on watching TV sitcoms and don't really go to the record store anymore unless one of my favorite artists is releasing something new. cry

lol @ using her family name. Clearly, using her family name didn't help Marlon, Jermaine, LaToya and/or Rebbie's career now did it? (Hell I didn't even know Marlon went solo until I researched it). She never blatantly made out that she was a Jackson; and her career started when she was in her adolescence.

And for the record, her boobs are not even that big.

Typical Janet hate thread. razz
