@@delrey8191 mmm artpops getting a revival i would LOVE to hear act 2 (though its quite unlikely) ;) miley cyrus, yh i was thinking about doing a vid on all the mess that is bangerz but idk i feel like its been covered, any miley ideas?

[@bc-th9ej]

the story of Bjork ( it will probably be in multiple parts like Grimes but would love to see it)

[@fionastakelum2283]

miley’s bangerz era?

[@phillinsogood]

The nip slip was not that bad to literally ruin her career. The camera cut away so fast it honestly annoys me how the media dragged this for so long

[@Nikki-jn3ud]

I never understood why they were so hard on her for a wardrobe malfunction 🙄 it's not like we've seen a whole bunch of celebrities not wearing panties and getting out of cars

[@phillinsogood]

@@Nikki-jn3ud exactly funny how white pop stars Britney, Madonna & Christina were able to kiss on “live” tv at the VMAS and there careers weren’t ruined but when a black pop star has a wardrobe malfunction that wasn’t even her fault gets dragged ☕️

@@phillinsogood Actually, britney was pretty much dragged for kissing madonna, cause it was during an era where she was getting a ton of backlash already. But the backlash janet received was very undeserved, with misogyny and racism playing a part. Nobody dragged justin for what happened… he didn’t even apologize properly until like, a decade later.

[@noemistephanie93]

Its sickening how Janet had to apologize when it was Justin who pulled her top. Oh the misogyny

[@noemistephanie93]

@@jacobgrafstrom1917 It obviously has to do with it cause why else would Janet have to take the crap from everyone while Justin was unscathed? That is PURE misogyny

[@hoododiaries]

@@jacobgrafstrom1917 yes it does. He got no backlash whatsoever

[@Jprager]

@@noemistephanie93 they actually both talked about it in Janet’s documentary. But Justin wasn’t actually told what to do until the very halfway into the choreography it was Janet and the designer who came up with the whole tear away costume. After the whole thing Justin also spoke with Janet about how she was doing and she actually advised him against saying anything

[@dreamvillian6964]

I love Justin Timberlake's music but he is very problematic with being involved in a lot of controversies he's never been accountable for his actions it's crazy! Back then and even now men have never held accountable the way women are in the media.

[@masturk888]

Honestly! His PR team also works like rent is due

[@Nikki-jn3ud]

I don't even like his music that much. I don't get the hype. He's a snooze fest

i needed this youtube channel in my life

[@georgejrivera3388]

New subscriber, I’m very impressed with the research you do, I remember all of these moments and when I was younger always felt weird that I’d obsessed over some of these moments, bravo sir!

[@Thebadgalgabi]

Why in the world would Janet Jackson do that on purpose knowing how awful the media was to women and especially black women at the time???? Why would she throw away her career? I don’t think she did it on purpose at all

[@princessmorebucks]

Love Janet but the nipple jewelry was suspicious! And where was the fabric underneath? She still didn’t deserve the backlash she received, and Justin should have stood up for her.

[@pinkpunk2689]

@@princessmorebucks I think the stylist planned this , something is sus about him maybe he was paid by someone who wanted to end her career

[@inma5665]

she didn't know this would end her carreer, janet and justin just wanted to top the shock value of the britney and madonna moment, but it turned out differently

[@reng935]

Pleaaaaase she could easily do that cause she was a rebel and was very sexual.

[@beautifulmistake5403]

@@reng935 she wasn’t one to do stunts like that. she didn’t need to either since she was literally coming off the back of a career peak, on the biggest stage. She did not need the buzz. The buzz was there. If anything, the tear away might have been a second too early, and should have been exposed just as the cameras cut away to create an illusion. That would have been more in line of Janet’s style.

[@powretrophobia]

literally living for this channel!!

[@no3ll3mayb3rry9]

I saw it live. I was 17 years old and I KNEW it had been done intentionally then and I’m even more sure of it now.

[@inma5665]

it was obviously planned, i feel sorry for janet, she didn't deserved being so harassed, but i also hate it when artists and celebrities try to fool their audience

[@arturocas90]

"The whole broadcasting industry was changed forever" Yet society has not changed that much to understand a female nipple is just like a male nipple. We educate further to understand not to sexualize female brests.

[@mem5091]

Lol what? It’s not just like a male nipple, it’s way different

[@ipeediarrhea]

bahahahhahaha. No, the female breasts are sexualized that is why you cover them. Trust me, once you saw how certain "people" act around women freeing their nip the sjws and wokes would be right back saying to cover it up again.

[@justsayin7558]

Whether it was planned is not the important issue/focus. Men have the right to show their nipples but woman are punished. We all have nipples. Bored people need to stop making big deals over nothing and put their energy into something that's actually productive/helping world. Ones personal feelings/preferences are separate from the inherent harm resulting from actions. Ur telling me men complained about seeing a nip... thats a first. If it was woman complaining, how could they find their own bodies so offensive. This much hype just teaches kids that they should be triggered by some of their body parts...and a body part they were just utilizing for survival from mom. How confusing. It is a sexualized, hypocritical society... Janet should not be singled out... but apparently it's easier to throw a tantrum and take pleasure in watching the power of ur feelings destroy a fellow human than actually figure out how to create core changes.

[@prettypleasewithsugarontop4858]

They were like OH NO A BOOBIE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!! So stupid

[@javiermorales3736]

Thank you I really really love your videos

[@bratalina]

you should do anna nicole smiths amas

[@tatianabennett865]

Yessssss

[@Nikki-jn3ud]

We love Anna Nicole ❤

[@TINKERB121]

What Beth McCarthy Miller explains seems the most logical, he was supposed to rip the bra on "song" instead of "end" and we saw too much. The lights would have been off if the timing was right and it was supposed to be a tease. Janet and Justin were both banned from the Grammys, then reinvited on the condition they apologize again on air. The seating with Janet's name was still made, you can see the photo on GettyImages. Jimmy Jam did an interview saying Janet was debating whether or not she should go.

[@crypticvinforever6350]

U r on fire bud

[@Bluemooque]

The nipple ring was the give away for me

[@melparkerr]

can we have a video all about justin timberlake being completely spineless and riding off of women like britney and janet's success by trashing their reputations for a piece of that clout because i have been patiently waiting

[@stayc5360]

do the madonna super bowl where M.I.A put up the middle finger next!!

[@reng935]

Yes!

[@Geminisayless30]

Finally an objective point of view based on facts instead of only biased opinions. I still love JT , but he never had JJ’s back publicly which is where it would have counted most. He couldn’t have made big Networks/ radios remove their Janet ban buut a little public support would have been impactful in my opinion. Can’t wait for her documentary though ♥️.

[@jenlunceford]

Ooooh. When is the documentary coming out?

[@violetmushroom6]

it makes me sad as a woman that a breast is such a big deal : ( isnt it hypocritical? it was already duper easy for kids to have access to much worse things online

[@aspyn.j_]

this whole event was misogynoir on display.

[@nicolehumphrey6986]

Misogyny, Justin’s white

[@nobody_nowhere_3338]

It's like, "I'm sorry the man I was performing with exposed my breast on live TV."

[@gymnast1910]

Madonna made some points at the end!

[@artisticbuilding6852]

i don't understand why they clearly did this on purpose, but janet cried afterwards and always claimed it was fully accidental. just why did they do it then? the backlash was so stupid though, way too blown out of proportion

[@reng935]

Exactly, I would love to know why Janet acted so surprised.

[@sabrinaleedance]

The fuck?! She had her top pulled off her yet she was the one uninvited ?! And Justin was fine?!

[@Cameron-wi9io]

JT’s diss in 2007 was towards Prince and not Janet

[@theshounfiles7898]

it was oviously planned

[@KDBetter]

The skirt thing makes sense cause that skirt definitely looked like it was supposed to come off

[@nomanejane5766]

[@KDBetter]

They did Janet so wrong

[@MrRustyTee]

It was planned. Point. Blank. Period.

[@markk2101]

Maybe something deeper was going on which is why it could have been planned but whether or not it was planned Janet Jackson should have not got the backlash she got

[@kafel4796]

It wad planned from the begining.

[@pyapyaye]

Fact: every female artist collabed with Justin had been flopped quickly.

[@polisherci]

madonna ❤️

[@ResidentEvilReVerseUniverse]

Kind of unfair that she took the fall

[@elliel3700]

There’s no way I would apologise whether it was on purpose or not! I would have also have stayed away from letterman, that man is a creep.. poor Janet. She didn’t deserve hate, it’s just a body part.. also how embarrassing is Justin’s rap lyrics!
