IMO i think if she hadn't did Control she would be right there with Rebbi and Latoya and the rest of the Jacksons doing NOTHING.
in that case you can pretty much pick any artist and say 'if they hadnt did' whatever song or album that put them on the map they would be doing nothing.what a ridiculous statement...also im sure she would be doing SOMETHING to earn a living, i mean you are not a legendary pop star, but you are doing something with your life right? | |

lowkey said: i like janet's voice when she aint whispering, her dad got her a record deal when she was like 16, over the years she has obviously developed into a better singer and overall performer.of course working with jimmy and terry has helped her, how could it not? the 3 of them found a chemistry that made them perfect for each other.janet always gets alot of unfair shade thrown her way.she dont need to sound like anybody else, thats the good thing about music.
I've found her totally disposable. I don't even bother buying her albums anymore.Everyone I've bought I've given away . . . . I've also seen her in concert twice. Vocally, I'm not sure she always sings live in concert and her voice is nothing special (especially thin and weak maybe. )I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

IGNORANCE....NO!
Aww! Janet attracts the hatas 
They're just scared of Janet's amazing talent so they feel the need to find something wrong with her when there's really nothing wrong. Poor girls!  | |

Janet CAN sing. I don't understand how anyone can say she can't when she makes a living off of it. I think most people are so narrow-minded and think loud yelps and runs is the defintion of singing. It's not.
Her most successful single IS a ballad. | |

Because if you want to justify someone's "talent" by the fact that they get PAID FOR IT, then i've got a LIST of "talented" people that suck ass. I mean jeezus. Wesley Wills got paid off of his records too. So now he's a "talented singer"? Look him up if you haven't heard of him. And he sold quite a few records actually. http://www.facebook.com/p...111?ref=ts

When people say- Janet can't sing. They're basically saying that she doesn't have the ability to sing at all. I find that hard to believe when she has recordings of herself singing. I guess the correct saying is "Janet isn't a good singer". NOT "Janet can't sing". | |

Janet has a nice melodic voice but she is not power house singer. I’m not really into singers who have no character or tone in their voice even if they can hit the high notes – Joe McElderry – the latest winner of X-factor is a perfect example.
But Janet’s whispery and mumbling vocals in the last few years and constant accusations of lip syncing hasn’t done her any favours. | |

WTF IS A POWERHOUSE SINGER??? IS THAT GOOD??  | |

midiscover said: WTF IS A POWERHOUSE SINGER??? IS THAT GOOD??
Power by itself is nothing. But a singer should have range/versatility, meaning they can sing quietly when appropriate, and with power when appropriate. Janet doesn't have much power (that I've heard). Of course that's no worse than a powerful singer who has no feeling or is off pitch, but I do think it's a limitation to her singing. But it's the same issue we had with 80's guitar players. They all had to play fast. Of course being able to play with speed is one sign of being an accomplished player, but it's nothing by itself. You need to have feeling, too. My Legacy

 I'm curious if you also include Teena Marie in your "screaming" category?

She whisper sings constantly and I can't stand that, she has a limited range and her voice sounds lost in the mix alot, imo.
I can't stand singer's who whisper, it's what turns me off from Mariah, especially since she can belt. 2012: The Queen Returns | |

Timmy84 said: Janet has a nice, distinctive voice. It wouldn't be fair at all to compare her to the powerhouse singers. She's in her own category. Plus it's an acquired taste, either you like it or you don't, I like it. And a reason I'm such a fan of hers is her voice can sound so angelic in ballads (not to mention those multi-layered vocals she learned from Marvin & MJ). One of the best pop vocalists of all time.

Because if you think there's "power" in either of the songs you just posted, well then you're as delusional as i already think you are. http://www.facebook.com/p...111?ref=ts

I'm sorry but even when Janet belts in Rhythm nation (which is the only song of hers I honestly love) she still sounds so weak. 2012: The Queen Returns | |

I like Janet's voice. It fits the music she does "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

If she ever give another live concert, and anyone goes or they broadcast it, then we'll know if she can sing . This will definitely kill the argument of her singing. | |

[Edited 12/16/09 15:46pm] I'm well aware Madonna has an unimpressive voice, but she could still carry ballads like Frozen, Crazy for you, Don't Cry for me Argentina, etc. Janet can't do that. 2012: The Queen Returns | |
