I'll say this...Chris Brown better be thankful he has a Powerful network like BET staying in his corner...BET loves itself some Chris Brown and stood by him even when the Media trashed him...The only thing I waana know about Janet is the billionaire Dude she's married to...Give the viewer an inside look on that..We already know Janet..Tell us or show us something we don't know...

Only looking forward to Janet.

Pretty sure next season will feature Drake, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Usher and Mary J Blige.

They should make an Unsung Like series.

Lol! I don't think Janet is going to be talking about her husband like that. I look forward to seeing her special. BET has been good to her. They were the only ones standing by her when she was blacklisted. Same with Mike. Looking at that list. Janet's name seems out of place... [Edited 9/1/15 7:18am]

Beyonce??? What a complete and utter waste of time.

Hey, I hear ya. But until the industry as a whole doesn't see $$$ when they consider her, she's going to continue to be covered (ad nauseam). We probably have a ways to go before we're there. I'm sure you're aware, just sayin....

Her beehive will be all over this as if she's a hot new artist.
