O I'm sorry about that girl!!

midiscover said:

no, you're right. the antichrist would be far more talented.

:rimshot:

cborgman said:

Nah that's La Toya. Janet is my girl. lol

cborgman said:

Oh so in that case (according to you) that would be MJ?

midiscover said:

Janet was more popular than Madonna and MJ in the US for many many years. Didn't u agree with that a couple weeks ago? She consistently ousold them both for over a decade.

Rythm Nation outsold Like A Prayer/Erotica combined
janet. outsold Bedtime Stories and Dangerous
The Velvert Rope outsold Evita and HIStory
All For U outsold Music and Invincible
Damita Jo outsold American Life

How were they more popualr than her? We're dealing with the Us, right? Lets not re-write the story to fit into what we're tryin to argue now. Janet was consistently more popular for over a decade. What's ur explanation...?

midiscover said:

no. i don't like mj. i was always pretty apathetic to him.

So what does everyone think about the complete list...Milli Vanilli and Wesley Snipes....Janet, OJ, and dude from Grey's Anatomy?

Milli Vanilli... I don't know about them... they got lucky as far as I know. The one that should've been blackballed was Frank Farian for thinking he could get away with it. Apparently he got away with it twice and used those two. Plus money was on their minds. I think the backlash was quite cruel to them though.

And Wesley... hmm... to me it seems like he made the bed he's lying in now due to the tax shit...

murph said:

milli vanilli strikes me as a sad an entry to the list as oj or washington.

they might not have killed anyone or called people faggots, but... they made that bed, they can lie in it.

wesley... i don't know. i dont know anything about the black women quote, but i do find it difficult to believe blade: trinity ruined him so much as making some really terrible choices of which movies to do.

O.J., Wesley and Isaiah get the "Negro Please Awards".

Timmy84 said:

Actually Wesley's problems started way before the tax shit...When you go to war with a big film studio you are bound to get fucked...There's a reason why dude suddenly started doing straight to dvd movies after that last Blade movie...Hollywood banned dude....I'm glad he's back with Brooklyn's Finest...

fill my white ass in?

not like that. maybe like that.

you know what i mean though.

cborgman said:

lol!!!!

sleepyq said:

worldwide.

Now can we drop this shit

cborgman said:

You silly.

Well, least see, one guy chose to make an ass out of himself after a murder trial, another has had a bunch of douchebag moments and the other is just not a good actor.

Timmy84 said:

i'm not gonna lie, i just exploited the post for a funny and flirtatious moment.

does that win me a "'mo, please" award?

cborgman said:

I'm gonna say something re: Snipes that I am not 100 percent sure about but I have often wondered if Snipe's appeal within his target market was hurt by:



I've always felt he was a leader within the LGBT community for taking on this role and that he doesn't get the credit for it. He was one of the biggest action stars at the time and took on this role and within a few years his career was in the toilet. Is it just a coincidence? This I know, Tom Cruise or Harrison Ford (his counterparts at the time) would never have taken on such a role.

I stand by my statement that the thing that ruined Wesley was his remarks about black women

sosgemini said:

He, Patrick Swayze (RIP) and John Leguizamo was in this lol

scriptgirl said:

what did he say?

Timmy84 said:

But it was Snipes who took the risk. Swazye's career was already in the toilet and Leguizamo wasn't (nor is he now) bankable. Snipes, at the time, was at the top of his career.

sosgemini said:

True lol

sleepyq said:

That's what I always said. Due to the fact that every country in Europe was LAUGHING at the over-reaction in the USA to the Superbowl, it was Janet's prime opportunity to go over and re-invent herself to take advantage of the foreign markets. She didn't and spent about a year trying to weed her way back in with America. And I personally thought Damita Jo was a good album - much much better than All For You. It could have been a success. 20 Y.O is what really killed her career as I can't think of one redeeming thing about that one.
