If you wanna do a comparison thread arguing that one artist is more successful than the other,I think their net worth is fair game

I think people do these threads when they don't have anything better to do...

You haven't been here long I guess. There have been many threads like this here. If you've been here awhile, you'll see the same topics over and over with the same people saying the same things, like Vainandy with Whitney Houston and RodeoSchro with grunge music.

My post weren't about money, though. I just posted a fact that since Janet's breakthrough album Control she had bigger success in two biggest markets than MJ or Madonna. That's all. Some didn't like that fact.

Pressed? What gave you that impression? Because I said that people seem Janet-hungry these days in comparison to other artists? You've never seen me say Janet is "bigger than" anyone, only that she doesn't get her proper due when it comes to being a trendsetter, and that she's often overlooked in the media for her achievements. Just a few short years ago you were in the Org deeming Janet the worst thing since the ebola virus when that who Paris/Katherine thing was going down, and I've seen your opinion about her waver back and forth over the years. Not that it matters to me really, because, well, it just doesn't.

Stop right there ....because obviously it does bother you otherwise you would not have responded to me the way you did nor would you have brought it up. I don't care but thats the reason why I called you pressed because nothing in my post was negative towards Janet but thanks for proving my point.

Lastly, I don't really owe you an explanation for any of my opinions. I don't think any celebrity is exempt from criticism. I like Janet as an artist but yes she has done some shady shit that I don't agree and I have no problem with calling it out likewise insisting at the same time that she is underrated as an artist. I don't have to mold my opinions to fit your liking and if you have a problem with that, thats your issue not mines. You Janet stans go to far when you try to go out of your way to bash Madonna and Michael in order to elevate Janet. You don't have to do that because she is successful in her own right. This thread is a fail because the Janet fans are the ones that instigated the comparisions with MJ/Madonna so you can't get mad when people come with receipts refuting these ridiculous comparisions.

Stop right there...

Say what? I don't think so, darlin'.

because it obviously does bother you

Your opinion of Janet Jackson bothers me? Mmm...no. But I do think it bothers you whenever a thread is started about Janet's stats when compared to her brother's, because you always seem to get into it with somebody in these threads. You said yourself that it used to make you mad, but, again I'll say, I think it still does.

otherwise you would not have responded to me the way you did nor would you have brought it up

How did I respond to you, sweetheart? Really? I'm curious.

nothing in my post was negative towards Janet

I don't recall saying that anything in your post was negative. I do recall saying that you tend to still get angry at Janet fans from time to time when it comes to Michael Jackson, because, well, it's true.

Lastly, I don't really owe you an explanation for any of my opinions.

Likewise.

I like Janet as an artist but yes she has done some shady shit that I don't agree and I have no problem with calling it out

Like what? Slapping Paris Jackson? It never happened.

thats your issue not mines.

There's no "s" at the end of "mine."

You Janet stans go to far when you try to go out of your way to bash Madonna and Michael in order to elevate Janet.

A), nothing that I've said about Madonna in this thread is untrue, nor is it bashing her. Same with MJ, so don't include me in your little observation. I've been a fan of both for many, many years (probably way before you were even thought of ), and I would never degrade either one of them to "elevate" Janet, certainly not her brother (MJ) or her direct rival (Madonna). B), check out some of the insanely harsh shit that the MJ and the Madonna fans have to say about Janet on various other sites and forums, and then get back to me. Otherwise, shut it. And please stop it with the "stans" bullshit. It's so 2008, and it's young as hell to boot.

This thread is a fail

Then why are you in it, going back and forth with people who don't give a shit what you have to say? If you're secure in the knowledge that Michael Joseph Jackson was the king/emperor/court jester/end-all-be-all of pop, then JanetSerbia's thread about Janet Jackson's worldwide stats shouldn't have even registered in your radar. As for receipts, well, Janet pretty much outshone both Michael and Madonna in the '90s on various levels, but that's neither here nor there.

Janet fans are the ones that instigated the comparisions with MJ/Madonna so you can't get mad when people come with receipts refuting these ridiculous comparisions.

Chile, 'bye

but why is that so important to you? Janet is probably sitting in her mansion right now,sipping on some expensive champagne Do you think she's sitting around crying about not being in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame? Relax,it's no big deal.

It's not important, but as a fan of an artist, it's pleasing to see it when that artist is commended for being the trendsetter or the pioneer of something. It's equally infuriating when that credit goes to another artist.

Been saying it for years Janet Jackson's success was because of her own efforts and hers alone with the jackson five setting the foundation

Exactly.

JanetSerbia said:

I would. But I said that because you wrote end of thread as it's the most important aspect of their careers. It isn't, cause it wasn't everybody's main goal. Janet turned many money-making deals (Vegas residency, American Idol judge, underwear collection...). It's her choice. ABBA members were offered 1 billion in 2000 to perform - and they said no.

SoulAlive is an UBER Madonna fan. Like I said before, he never even comes into Janet threads unless there's some shitstirring going on (by his own admittance). Madonna can't even sell an album anymore, but her tours do well, and that's what her core fanbase holds on to. As for sales, Janet's output wasn't nearly as frequent as Madonna's OR Mariah's in all of their heyday, and most of Janet's biggest albums haven't even been recertified. Enough said.

This topic only shows that many people can't stand Janet's artistic and commercial success. She's fantastic until she's not above my favorite artist. Janet won't finish more legendary than Michael (no one ver will, for so many reasons - music is the last one). But Janet will most definitely finish as more legendary than Madonna in the U.S. and Japan. That's clear.

And THAT's the sad part about it.

I love your love for Janet!

Me too.

***THIS JUST IN***

^ When the first source is something like that how often does it turn out true?

We'll see. The logo of Janet's company JDJ is replaced with the new one on her website. All of sudden.
