who's the queen??

the 80's music they both did sounds identical, and they sound the same too,

Pebbles, mercedes boy, girlfriend, giving you the benefit, love/hate, etx

Janet, control,


i'll go for the biggest arse

Janet


You may go with her for the "biggest arse" or what not, but you need to check who the real originator was back then. Chicks like Pebbles, Jody Watley, Shanice, Karyn White, Michel'le, et cetera were JOCKING Janet.

Janet was the prototype R&B female artist after Control dropped. So many females were on the bra strap.

Examples will be provided for all detractors.


bra strap? i dont like that analogy...janet just paved the way..just like madonna paved the way for susie q, taylor dayne and a host of others....

all these woman were talented, strong and successful.....they werent "joking" shit.....Watley was the polar opposite of Janet...sure, she wouldnt have been given a chance if not for Janet but besides her first song, she was totally different....

and you forgot to add Nia Peeples to your list..I loved me some "trouble".

The funniest thing I've seen was John Leguizamo in one of his HBO specials singing GIRLFRIEND as a Puerto Rican tranny prostitute. He was sooooo fucking funny. He looks great in drag.

Yeah, She did manage them (TLC) nod (actually I heard she created the idea of them, but w/out Lisa at first)
yeah, as far as Icons, Janet does win I'm afraid.
She's been around, you know.
But I like Pebbles too biggrin


she did create them and manage their career up until the girls filed bankcrupty in order to get out of the contract....


tlc dissed pebbles big time..but im sorry, you dump enough to sign the contract, deal with it..and this wasnt no new edition situation (being children)..these were grown woman who should have been smart enough to find third party representation...

its soo sad that pebbles name got thrown in the mudd..notice maurice starr and the dude that worked with nsync and backstreet boys are still around..but a strong smart black woman, OUT!!! i just wished the girls from TLC had handled the situation with more grace and tact.....

but hey, pebbles must be rolling in the dough since she kept the bulk of the revenue from TLC's first couple albums.. giggle


wink


giggle
Somehow that ending doesn't make it so bad. razz
