Beyonce is not a newbee. She had her 1st top 5 hit with Destiny's Child in 1997. She currently has a song in the top 5. That's 13 years apart. lol

How long was Janet on top? Hmmmm. 1986-2002. 15 years. So 2 years till Beyonce catches up. lol

I said NEITHER of them are real songwriters. How am i discrediting Janet? confuse

sleepq is a troll.

No, but i dont ride or die for ANY popstar. Never.

I'm not for or against anybody. Not Usher's not Beyonce's. Not Gaga's. Not MJ, Prince or Janet.

There are many ppl i like, but i'll give my str8t opinions.

I think she has a great personality and love most of her music. I recongize her influnece and impact on music.

But she is not a great talent.


You don't know the definition of talent then. lol

I love how u compare songwriting to getting other people's money to finance a movie. lol

If ur gonna audition for a spot in a band, r u gonna be allowed to bring the saxophone player, trumbone player and tuba player with u? NO! U sit BY YOURSELF and audition with just u and ur instrument to show what YOU can do. How can u call someone a "great songwriter" when shes only written and released ONE song?! We dont even know what SHE is capable of. Only what she can do with Jam & Lewis.

... So she's a good collaborator. Or good at choosing collaborators. Either one, dont care. lol


Now you're comparing instrumentalists to songwriters? falloff

FYI, people that are credited for songwriting is anyone that helps in the songwriting process. That includes lyricists and composers. Rarely will you find one person credited for songwriting on songs and albums. The same can be said for screenwriters. It's a collaborative work. That doesn't mean Janet's not a REAL songwriter.

Why isn't it comparable? confuse

How can u determine someone is a great sexophone player when there's 5 other sexophone players playing with him? U cant seperate who did what, so u cant say who is good or not good at what.

I never said she had to write a whole album, did i? How about... 5 songs in her 20 yr + music career? U take my mohills and make them mountains.

How about if she wrote 10 songs in her entire catalogie by herslf? Janet has released over 100 songs, and is only credited to writing ONE by herself. How can u look at all that music and determine SHE is a great sognwriter when other ppl (mainly Jam & Lewis) have their names littered all over everything?!

You forgot Janet's reign was her by herself not with some shit R&B group.

Beyonce sang about 90% of all those songs, her face was in 90% of the videos, and her mouth was off in 90% of the interviews.

If u like, exclude it from her career. I dont.

How? falloff

An instrumentalist plays an instrument. Songwriters consist of lyricists and composers! You can't compare them.

Like someone else said Janet wrote many of her songs by herself (lyricists) but Jimmy & Terry are the composers. They also give her direction on how to sing her songs and such. Its really not that hard to comprehend.

He's a troll. Watch him come in here and say like any other deluded Beyonce stan that you're jealous of her when he was the one that brought her up. He needs to understand that Janet is what Beyonce wants to be. What all these young artists out now are striving to be.

Actually, most liner notes specify who did what.

Like Sade. It says lyrics by Sade, music by Sade & band memebers. Elton John is the other way around. He only composes.

So funny how Janet's liner notes never specified what exactly she was contributing to her music.

I'm sure there are more people out there who agree that Janet is more talented Beyonce, I'll give Bey her credit because she can sing but her material needs some work. Janet needs to step her game up also.
