LA Reid is taking care of thangs, so Janet is in good hands.

that title caption says new king of pop..the fact that its based on someone who really shouldn't have been given that "title" in the 1st place makes even this one MORE irrelevant than the previous moniker

My friend you try WAY too hard...

Stand to your statements.

You did say : "that "title" was given by his good friend elizabeth taylor on oprah..neither one of those women r rock journalists or in the music business. unlike a title like His royal badness which was done by someone that reports on music ...

Now you try to save your ass pretending that its based on on someone who really shouldn't have been given that "title" ...



If MJ is not the King Of Pop, who is the king of Pop ?

krayzie said:

no i'm not trying 2 "save" myself, i was responding 2 someone who said that MJ "earned" that title and xplaining on who it was that put it on them in 2 the 1st place.

as 4 who the real king of pop is..take it back 2 the days of little richard, chuck berry, even james brown cause without any of these influences on other artists, we wouldn't b on this website talking about a silly title as king of pop now would we?

either way, whoever influenced who and what title is whatnot and everything is pointless and not what this thread is about

Oh, yes? And why shouldn't Michael have gotten that "title"! He has the biggest selling album of all time! That fact alone makes him the "King of Pop"!

But added to that also his other albums have been megasellers, making him one of the biggest selling artists of all time! He is a worldwide phenomenon! He did megasuccessful tours around the world! People went crazy about him from the US to Japan! From the UK to Australia! There are only few people who don't know who Michael Jackson is! His career spans 37 years already and he's been on top for 20 years (give or a take a year)! He is a household name! He has revolutionized the way music videos were done! He got the biggest album und endorsement deals! He influenced a whole new generation of male pop singers! And there is much more I could mention! There is no one more deserving of that title than Michael!

And for your earlier question! James Brown is the godfather of soul! He had nothing to do with pop!

I think she's right to pursue acting more. She always was a better actor than musical entertainer.

you tell them mister

L4OATheOriginal said:

What you say makes absolutely no sense, little Richard, Chuck Berry, James Brown have never been Pop artists, and never achieved the success of MJ.

MJ became rightfully the King of Pop because of his popularity and success.

MJ broke all the records, (if you didn't know, Thriller is the biggest LP ever) and broke racial barriers like no other.

Seems to me that you hate more than anything else. Please, try at least to bring some arguments if you want to deny the fact that MJ is not king of pop.

no james brown ..no michael period

krayzie said:

well i do hate that fact that the pedophile gets more threads on a PRINCE site ..yes yes yes ...

That's all I wanted to know.

You other guys take that King of Pop argument elsewhere!

this KOP nonsense was one of the biggest mistakes - well, in his top 30 mistakes - of MJ.

when it comes to janet there is always this double standard...she is the only artist expected to maintain her same success level at age 40 that she enjoyed in her 20's, all of her accomplishments are curtesy of somebody else,and she is only famous because she is a jackson. as far as the janet/madonna issue you cant jump on a person because they feel janet is as iconic as madonna, of course madonna has been more successful worldwide, she was already mtv's darling when janet was still michael's little sister, she is white, she released at least twice as many albums, and she has always been way more media savvy, that being said you cant tell a black girl from bedstuy brooklyn like myself that janet has not made the same impact on me and my friends that madonna made on her audience, how can people claim nobody cares about janet when even after her album 'flopped' they still compare every young female artists to her. how many beyonce vs janet, ciara vs janet discussions has there been? i've been a janet fan from way back and i still ride with her,where im from she is a true icon, many black girls wanted to look like janet, rock her hairstyles, put a key in their earring,ect

Purrrrr EACH!

For some reason Janet doesnt sell tickets like Madonna or Prince. Period. She can't transcend low record sales with a guaranteed slam dunk tour...unless she were to play amphitheaters. Live Nation ain't gonna put a shitload of $$ behind a Janet Tour. Period. That's my 2 cents. She needs a huge hit album and even then isn't guaranteed that same success on the road. Even though Damita Jo outsold "American Life" and all of Prince's releases this decade prior to his "Musicology" tour...it just ain't happenin for some reason.
