who the fuck is Janet?

I definitely dont understand Prince fans who are big Janet Jackson fans also.

I mean, she has a very mediocre voice, she is mostly a producers 'product' and has got a creepy brother also.

She has done some nice work on Rhythem Nation, but those werent here songs but Jimmy Jams and Terry Lewis productions (being heavily inspired by whose sound?.....of course).

I mean... People who admire Princes best work (released during the eighties, thats for sure) i thought would be listening to REAL musicians (REM, Living Colour, Van Morrison, Otis Redding, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Sly Stone, James Brown, George Clinton, Big Star, Crowded House, Tool, Rage Against The Machine, Yousou n'dour, Bjork, Matthew Sweet, Lyle Lovett...should i go on?) and not some 'watered down' R&B like Janet Jackson mostly delivers.....

Well, who the fuck are YOU to judge what people listen to and what should be considered "real" music. Instead of wasting your time, why don't you go listen to Lyle Lovett?

and Lyle Lovett for sure has a much better singing voice then Janet.

He might be ugly, but he touches my soul more deeply with just a single phrase then Janet would ever do in her whole career...

Well, I'm happy for you and Lyle. Go let him touch your soul.

You don't know anything about me besides the fact that I like Janet Jackson and whatever the fuck may be in my fucking internet profile. How dare you, you ignorant cunt, tell me about myself and what "Americans" care for?

Not that there's anything wrong with Lyle Lovett. I happen to like both JJ and Lyle! lol

Wow, I wonder if Riverpoet goes around judging his friends' CD collections and making wild assumptions about all of them too.
