" She could have easily taken all of the credit for those ideas"? Ya gotta be kidding! 100% of Janet Jackson's success was due to Jam & Lewis's musical compilations and the marketing engine of her record company. Of course, her family name opened the doors, but she has no outstanding talent on her own. She doesn't have much of a voice and is literally whispering on those hits produced by Jam & Lewis. Her videos simply copied Michael's. She is not alone as Beyonce is probably the best example of the biggest star made by producers, not talent.

I always love when singers break down their music videos it feels like an behind the scenes and understanding the concept! I wish every artist did this!

[@Lee4364]

What I love most about her music is none of it is repetitive, Rhythm Nation broke open the 90s and is today one of the most Icon Albums of Music that has been created.

*To this day she is still so humble. She’s a true legend. Her gifts are unmatched. She’s private in her life but she’s bold when she performs* *She leaves it all on the dance floor* *She inspires me*

I think Janet and Missy are two of the most creative artist to grace our generation so glad they are being acknowledged and celebrated for inspiring so many of the artist we love today!

There's just that incredible thing about Janet, she's so quiet, so polite, so tiny, but under the surface you can just sense this incredible fire of an amazing and incredibly accomplished performer and real passion for life.

Janet Jackson deserves so much more recognition. She was the original triple threat - actress, dancer & singer. Dankeschön for this video - I could watch HOURS of her explaining her artwork.

[@DavidKen878]

Janet gets plenty of recognition. What do you mean?

[@novacorps2468]

I see what you're saying, but she was awarded the Video Vanguard award, and she was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Janet is a real woman who knows her self-worth. She stays in her lane and does not have to compete with other artists. She is a legend and a force to be reckoned with.

R.I.P to Kevyn Aucoin. Such a sad story. I saw his documentary this year. I never heard of him but he was adored by celebrities to super models and is credited with inventing contouring. He was sick and died young. We love the celebs but I love how humble Janet and MJ are and others who credit the ppl that are not famous but create the iconic styles that make celebs famous.

[@deejayfikes]

I saw the same documentary during quarantine last year and was amazed. Kevin worked with alot celebs and so many adored him. Mary J blige shouted him out in the vogue interview.

I'm thrilled she talked about "I Get So Lonely" & "what's It Gonna Be", the fact that she opened up about her fascination with futuristic themes & Japanese culture just amplified my adoration for her further! Absolute creative legend, I can't wait to see what she cooks up for the "Black Diamond" project.
