Honestly, it's never been about competition for them. Only a small subset of their fanbases feel the need to pit them against each other. They both had a lot of respect for each other as artists, and I think that's what matters. I'm pretty sure they would be disgusted by fans of one trying put the other down and vice versa.

Please.
'The song was a year long and had been playing for months' sounds like a Lenny Kravitz album. He's been making the same songs over and over . . .

Talent can be measured and is. Award shows anyone? Top Ten Lists? Depending on who is doing it, but talent is usually measured in any field of endeavor with dollar signs.
It's wishful thinking to say you can't measure talent. Get over the fact that Janet has visible limits to her 'talent.'
She's never been the dancer, singer, writer, performer or draw that her brother was and is.

midiscover said:

Surely you've heard more than two female singers?

SUPRMAN said:

Her talent has no limits hun!
Dancer- They're both equal
Singer- I give it to MJ
Performer- Sometimes one is better then the other but I perfer Janet as a performer
Writer- Most of Janet's writing is better then MJ's, Heal the World anyone? but Billie Jean is brilliant!
Acting- Janet! MJ... oh he can't act

So Janet wins! Yayyyy!

SUPRMAN said:

Yes! But Janet is the best after the Chaka!

I remember that, about Mavis.

RONNYRON said:

I agree that Rebbie has a better voice than Janet and LaToya,but that particular lyric that you quoted ("and he's crawling like a centipede...") is not really Rebbie at all.That's Martha Wash She is all over that song,wailing during the final chorus and adding vocal strength to the last line of chorus.

SoulAlive said:

Even if it were Rebbie, Janet has had stronger vocal performances on tracks like He Doesn't Know I'm Alive.

SUPRMAN said:

Fuck, I stand corrected. This means that Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and Cliff Richard are three of the most talented musicians ever.

That made me laugh quite a bit. You were kidding, right?

leecaldon said:

Nope!
Watch the breakdown in Scream. Janet clearly outshined MJ!

midiscover said:

Not when Janet herself said MJ took all the attention ...They were both great,but she is not on his level dance-wise.

seeingvoices12 said:

Why are you making shit?
She's on his level dance-wise MJ is more freestyle and she's more technical at times.

midiscover said:

why can't we talk about music without one flaming the other, keep it civilized and healthy, is that too much to ask for?

And ,No, Im not, Don't say that in front of anyone so people won't laugh at you,Janet equals MJ dance-wise? No one would ever dare to make such a statement, sorry But janet fails to compete with MJ at any category.

Now , I hate the comparsions , everyone should appreciate artists without comparing them, but since you the one who made this absurd comparsion, you are going to hear an answer, she is nowhere near him

midiscover said:

seeingvoices12 said:

Janet never said that he did it better then her That's why I asked why you're making shit up...and you MJ fans ALWAYS,ALWAYS,ALWAYS bring up popularity and what others think as if that means shit when it comes down to actual talent! There are many talented people that hardly get noticed and go by overlooked! I don't know why most of you assholes have something against Janet

midiscover said:

when the hell I brough the popularity thing? Don't put words into my mouth,.

can you understand english? read my previous post I said " I LOVE JANET but what I said is you need to stop to inflating her talents , God, saying that Janet is a better songwriter or dancer than MJ is ridiclous, If you perfer her over MJ then you have the right to do that but don't say that she is better songwriter or dancer because this absurd.

and why you are calling me asshole? , I could respond with the same way, I won't stoop that low.

seeingvoices12 said:

Um I suggest you watch videos of Janet dancing she's great! Just because MJ moonwalked doesn't make him the best dancer in the world! No one is inflating her talents! She's obviously the most talented in the family! MJ is just superior in most of his abilities then the rest of them.

midiscover said:

OH, Im familiar with all janet work,and I said Im a fan, but you know what, I chose not to debate with you,I would rather debate with someone more civilized and respectful...thanks.

seeingvoices12 said:

I doubt it! You're always ready to dismiss her for whatever reason
and this was never a debate!

midiscover said:

I always thought that as the perfect example of showing how Janet was a good dancer, but certainly not even close to Michael's level at all. Janet would be fine as a backing dancer, but Michael was always superior to all the backing dancers with professional training that he worked with.

You can't compare them! They both are in a league of their own
I think Janet's the stronger dancer. She hits every step with pure energy!
MJ is more graceful as if he's floating in air.

It's amazing to see both of their styles together in Scream though I think Janet outshined MJ on the breakdown. She just captured the true essence of the song! MJ was more angelic almost like woman! It's like they switched roles

Poor Latoya.

Wow, Jermaine sounds great here on the Victory Tour.
