Good lawd...you have a very loose interpretation of what constitutes a clone.

How is Chico Debarge a Janet clone? Because he jumped over the chair like Janet did in the Miss U Much video??? confuse


Beside that, did you listen to the beats of Talk To Me? It did sound a lot like What Have You Done For Me Lately.

And Chico even sported a Prince-ly hairstyle for good measure! cool


What's your definition of a clone?

ANSWER: Exact or close to it.

But if you want to side with Webster's American Definition of the word: exact copy of an original.


Off-Topic: BTW, Webster also define "black" as evil. So I can only go so far in believe in that dictionary to the point that I have to put some limits on its credibility.

Shanice Wilson is a good choice. I also remember her for this:

Its passable. Its biting Jody Watley, who had those ear splitting snares that irritate after a while. The drum programme in this is pretty dull. Her "i like your smile" album was better then this.

I remember there being some controversy surrounding the 1/2 Steppin video because of Shanice's attire. She was only 15 or 16, dressed up in thigh-highs wearing a bra on the outside of her clothes.

Shanice could not dance to save her life.

Iam surprised you like this sort of "clattery" pop music. Its extremely dated which usually bothers people on here. Again i like some Jody, but this is by-the-numbers aerobics music to me. Tracks like "friends" were more fleshed out and more enjoyable for me.

I've never known anyone to do aerobics to Looking For A New Love. It's a funky, stuttering beat, not aerobics music.

While I wouldn't call her a full on clone (because she could actually sing), Karyn White was definitely pulling a Janet in that awful video for Secret Rendezvous. I had to misspell it to find it on youtube, BTW. One of the worst videos ever, but she's trying her hardest to be Janet.

I like cymone's stuff, but its just a bit bland. I should like it as its aged very badly. But it sounds like a demo. Just not enough going on in it.

BTW, it also dawn on me that ever a MALE Janet-clone existed at one time.

HINT: Janet was one married to the clone's older brother, James.

I didn't realize Chico had been around that long. I remember this song too. I guess this was before he went to jail

That wasn't a catty comment, it was an observation. Please, it was not meant to be catty and if you interpreted it as such I apologize. All I was saying is that I am glad the org now allows Tube links. And yes I did miss the public discussion, as I do not read that forum.

ahh...got to be my fav cloned moment. Paula's Knocked Out video...ya know, LA & Babyface did a beautiful job of making her sound like she could sing. and the original video (this one) is so much better then the updated Girl Made It Big version that most people know.

jody soo started off as a janet clone.

paula abdul
vanessa williams (like jody started off but grew on her own)
pebbles



jody?? I never even thought about them in the same breath....

vanessa or pebbles either.

just because someone dances doesn't automatically make them a "janet clone"

Right. And why would you consider Paula a clone, Didn't she give Janet her style of dance in the first place?

well, its the whole pop/r&b/dance sound with dancing with a group of people behind you in a video thang going on.

heck, i remember mtv doing a segment on janet knock-offs and all the girls up in here were mentioned...this was like right before the janet. album came out...they said her legacy would be paving the way for these ladies...

and besides...its a fun thing to ponder.

Nah. You've got to be able to use HTML code and (as far as I can tell), non-mod folk cannot.
