[@isaiahtolbert]

Thats whats missing these days. Strong harmonies, bridges and melodies. Janets acapellas really showcase how versatile and unlimited in her ability to master backgrounds like Mariah Carey.

Janet and Mariah are the queens of background vocals and musical excellence. In my opinion, they have the best catalogues of any female artist, maybe because they also write.

[@cecegiles7753]

The "Discipline" album is freaking filled with harmony

[@JacxonLRyan]

Janet’s harmonies are everything 🔥

[@thinkofme1one56]

They absolutely are!! Love me some Janet!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@chrishawkins6535]

Jimmy and Terrys harmony arrangment is impeccable.

[@jacksongreene3687]

Who said it's Jimmy and Terry's arrangment and not hers?

[@chrishawkins6535]

@@jacksongreene3687 Because im a producer/songwriter/arranger. Vocal arrangement is normally done by the producer. The producer always knows what he wants to happen in a song. Granted she is a talented girl, the harmonies embedded inside the music she wouldn't be able to do! Simply because its Jam&Lewis's creation.

[@trblmkr5139]

@@jacksongreene3687 Jimmy and Terry said. LOL why would she need world class producers if she is gonna arrange herself?

[@jacksongreene3687]

@@trblmkr5139 I'm just saying. Whitney Houston arranged a lot of her own vocals. If you listen to Discipline, which Jimmy and Terry weren't a part of, those same layered harmonies are there. Janet, Jimmy and Terry were a great team though so I'm sure they brought their own strengths of what they were good at to the table.

[@2law2be]

​@@chrishawkins6535 On Control all three are credited "Jackson accompanied Jam and Lewis on keyboard and took part in composing the arrangements". Only Janet and Terry are credited for arrangement on Rhythm Nation. For the Janet album Janet is credited as the main producer, Terry as music producer, and Jimmy as music producer, keyboards and his vocals. Jimmy and Terry are credited for vocal arrangement on The Velvet Rope album....I wouldn't listed as a Jam and Lewis creation since this wasn't their signature style before Janet or even seen in their works with other artists.

[@loupcaldeira]

In my opinion, her harmonies on Curtains are one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard

[@LeeDfined]

Yes sir...

Curtains is my favourite on Discipline except Feedback of course😅

[@2jagmatt]

So amazingly soulful.. Makes me cry....(in the best way).

[@arlandocantley7189]

yes

[@handsomemahlambi]

Also people downplay Janet’s main vocal too But when they try and sing a Janet song it becomes hard for them bc she is strong and firm in that higher register So her voice might not be “fuller” bc it doesn’t have a lot of bottom end (I know Janet can go low but her vocal timbre consists mostly of bright and clean tones from higher frequencies) BUT girl sings down in that high region

[@kc-jv1rn]

Janet does her OWN background vocals, her harmonies are FIERCE.. IYKYK. She doesn’t have to have the loudest voice… Her voice is JUST RIGHT..

[@cyorkgo]

Anyone that wants to learn how to emotionally deliver a performance needs to study Janet. She may not be the "best" singer, but she is the best at what she does. Pure emotions that you can feel. That is what makes her such a great performer. She makes you believe she is horny; she makes you believe she is in love; she makes you believe she is having fun; she makes you believe that she will cut your throat! Most anyone can sing if they practice, but Janet's delivery is sensual. Thanks for posting this. Going to share this with the singers I coach.

[@TheRichyrich818]

Her range is insane when you break it down quite honestly.

[@thatdjiswild]

She can definitely sing, it's just overlooked because it's not considered a strong voice.

[@ericfreeman1303]

Exactly 💯 She have a soft voice with felt emotions👍🏽

[@alejandrodiaz1219]

​@@thatdjiswildfr she can belt pretty high. She belts an A5 in rhthmn nation and her headvoice can go up to a C6! Now range does not define wether somebody is a good singer or not, but I believe Janet has proved time and time again that she knows how to utilize her voice and well. She may not naturally have a strong voice, but that's not her fault. She knows what her voice can and can't do, and at the end of the day she has proved her musicianship

Queen of harmonies...

[@sgtbrownty]

I would purchase a triple CD with nothing but Janet singing in layers

[@laracroftvideos]

Queen of harmonies and vocal arrangement, periodT. She may not sing like Aretha, Whitney, or Mariah but Janet is still up there with the legends. Pulling vocals off the way she does requires so much skill, precision, control, and impeccable ear for music that I find it preposterous Janet is constantly thought of as lacking in the vocal department. Just because someone has a naturally soft singing voice doesn’t mean their instrument is in some way inferior to stronger ones.

[@r.p.5903]

Especially for black women, the stereotype of having to "belt" is just wrong... What about PRECISION?

[@TayWoode]

And she never sounds like she’s trying too hard, it just seems to flow out naturally and soothing as if she just keeps replaying the tracks and adding a bit more each time

[@handsomemahlambi]

Janet’s harmonies build a world of sound They fill up the song and yet still find a way to be breaths of fresh air That’s why her a Capella are still as good or sometimes better than the song with the instrumental Janet is driving force that many studied from Beyoncé to Brandy to Britney and many more And I’m so grateful to stan a gorgeous, smart, talented, humble, strong and resilient Pioneer Queen such as Janet Damita Jo Jackson

[@thetoughgroup]

I could not have said this any better 🎯 👊🏾

[@CoreyPeavy-m4t]

Just to remind some of you, janet got a lot of vocal harmony practice with her family, she sang on some of Michael’s earlier songs ( PYT) is one and they all sang with her on her earlier projects and wrote for her, so janet still carries the Jackson sound. I think Jimmy & Terry really nailed the layering of vocals with Janet.

[@mssha1980]

I think it’s a family trait

[@trblmkr5139]

they said she was capable of singing very close intervals without losing her mind because Jimmy wrote vocals on KEYBOARD which is how her voice becomes another instrument in the song. Im aware of Steely Dan doing similar things with Michael McDonald, very close intervals on harmonies that drive singers up the wall. Somehow these singers could handle it

yall always have to throw FARTonce in there...I don't care what it is...if someone says a female artist has the best shits in the business, yall come back beyonce shits are wayyy better. and I wouldn't even add her in this conversation anyway because background and lead vocals are way too aggressive, I don't care if it's a slow song or fast - it's always aggressive.

[@duane371]

@@OctoberLibra1 if you don't like Beyonce you could just say that

[@OctoberLibra1]

Critics has stated that Janet's soft vocals do not go over well in Concerts because they are too light, but that they do stand out on record. That may be the case in some instances, but she can't help that mostly all of her hits with the exception of Scream and Black Cat where hits with her singing in her natural, lower and mid high vocals...What she does in the studio with harmonies and layering of her voice is undeniably the best in the business. To preserve her voice, I don't think Janet doesn't do higher registered songs, and Diana Ross has stated this about herself that she doesn't sing aggressively or aggressive songs because she wants to preserve her vocals. That's why when you hear Patti, who for decades sang high notes, these days can't get those notes....Janet's background vocals are extraordinarily good because she delivers with so much emotions and knows her strong points in a song or songs. Her voice is so pleasant to the ear that she could do an acapella album with her lead and background vocals without music and it would sell. Her vocals mellow you out so, so if you're in you car or listening with headsets on her voice will take you to the stratosphere thats how mellow she is in her element. And a lot of people forget that Janet learned so much by watching her brothers and dad being in the studio's with them early on and also took what she learned to the studio with Jimmy and Terry....so she's a veteran at what she does...The thing that people hold against Janet and don't give her credit for is her own individuality. When the comparisons to her and MJ and also her being a black female in an industry where men control women, Janet was not that one and so that's why she's isn't given the credit by some and criticized by others....She is the poster child for female empowerment, overcoming all of the critics and naysayers.
