How about Peebles vs. Vanessa Williams or Peebles vs. Karen White? Janet is an ICON. Not a fair comparison.

Yeah, obviously Janet wins. I do like Pebbles though, I have her Greatest Hits CD.

Karyn White was good too!

I only ever liked "giving u the benefit". I hated "girlfriend". I'd rather have paula's music anyday.


It should be karyn white as blaque said. Babyface and la reid did some tracks off the first kayrn album, then jam and lewis took over for her second album.


Kayrn is my preferred

i said it once and i'll say it again KARYN WHITE is the shit!!!!!

she is so under appreciated, such a shame i have all her albums (which is three lol ) and i must say she had the ability to do really well and could cover anything from dance/pop to smooth r&b to power ballads.

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.

CASE IN POINT: Terry Lewis gave his own wife (Karyn White) some of the letovers from Janet's Rhythm Nation sessions! wink

They were good too. But they wern't leftovers. And "romantic" beats any of the major singles off "1814".

I ain't heard that album for ages now. Except the album with "giving u he benefit", which had that Jermaine jackson "you said, you said" quality about it.

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
