I’ve always said if Janet Michael and beyonce isn’t your top 3 pop artist / greatest performers of all time I can’t trust your musical opinion lol Idc about which is your number 1 bc music is subjective! B it they have to be in the top 3 you can’t talk pop music with out them. I agree I stand !

It comes as no surprise that Michael Jackson was and still is huge, but the global craze had started in 1980s. To get out of that shadow and be able to make a mark of her own wasn't easy and she did it despite sooo many ups and downs especially in 2004!

[@guitar_roker3590]

that's what we all wanted, but I 100% respect janet's decision to work with her brother only once. I honestly think in recent years, had Michael still been with us, they would have done something together. but Michael asked her a few times, during the rhythm nation and janet eras to do a duet, she kindly declined because she was still proving herself at that time, despite having massive success and didnt want people to think she was trying to ride his coattails. by the time they did scream, she was already a pop icon, so she made a great decision to wait. I know Michael and janet were incredibly close, they supported each other so much, janet had so much to prove being his sister and she's far from just his sister, a legend who is now in the rock n roll hall of fame. amazing.

[@RobRoyR8R]

@@guitar_roker3590 you seem to get it. gone too soon.

[@MICHAEL1269.]

Scream was massive. And the perfect combination of both styles. Even down to the choreography. I say it was simply beautiful to see them work together. I think it was better left at that. It's one of the most iconic moments in music and a huge moment in history. The song's hard hitting beat and breakdown will always be remembered. And the video well, what can I say it is phenomenal. #SIBLINGLOVE #JANET #MICHAEL #HISTORY

[@scottbrandts610]

This Goddess embodies every perfect quality of the meaning of "Human Being". She has never thought of herself as being above any single person on this planet, and has never put herself first. Janet Jackson has ALWAYS stood for equity, equality, acceptance, unity, empathy, inclusion and global brother- and sister-hood. What a magical lesson she has taught us all - and will continue to teach every new generation. A true chameleon in every positive and awe-inspiring way, Janet has shown us determination, pain, ecstasy, sexuality, angst, loneliness, self-exploration, honesty, dignity, social awareness, joy, loss, high voltage, raunch, philanthropy and spirituality...all through her music, her videos and her continual drive to bring awareness to all of the qualities - both good and bad - that make us all innately Human. No one single other woman singer has ever done this so AUTHENTICALLY, CONSISTENTLY or COMPASSIONATELY. (Let's spare ourselves, for just a moment, from the comparisons with the other major icon who immediately comes to mind...) Janet Jackson brought such an awareness to the planet about social ills and the need to preserve our integrity for the sake of future generations. But, she was also equally as skilled at showing us her sensual side, with the most slick, sexy and explosively erotic expressions that just seemed to come so naturally, that she was able to transition between these and her political persona so effortlessly, without one ever compromising the other. Janet Jackson is THE COMPLETE PACKAGE. The consummate performer. Powerful Black Woman. Earth Mother... Gift of absolute Glory to this world.
