Janet Jackson is the first female artist to sweep an award show.

You know, people forget how BIG Janet was in her prime AND she was competing against the likes of Mariah, Whitney and Madonna herself at the time. So the fact she was getting so much acclaim and breaking records like this was HUGE. She really had to work hard to stand out like that and it paid off. Can't say that much about most artists today.

+lenzino7383 So True!!!!!

[@cup903]

+lenzino7383 Whitney just seem like the mother who supported all her babies go janet i love her so much

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

Janet whitney and Mariah ran circles around madonna ass just saying no competition

[@mandm471]

Jordan Williams Janet came out with "all for you", the number one debuting song and album and launched the "all for you world tour", all which were über successful, post 2000.

[@TheGamersGuide819]

She was also competing against her brother

[@CHEETAH69]

It's crazy that this was BEFORE she actually began to really kill it. Pre-"Janet" and "Velvet Rope"

[@jaidendaron4249]

She actually won more than 8....like 15 that night....for unaired portion.....

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

Janet Jackson one of the most influential artist of all time she done it all what a true legend it all started with CONTROL!

[@IllumiNatetheOracle]

Ive never seen a room of people just jump to their feet without even a performance given. Janet had impact! Still does to this day. Like Prince and Micheal, her music has aged like fine wine. And they all wrote their material!!!!!!!!! Amazing times!

[@diaconualexandravasilica736]

Legendary. I can't help but notice how her entire look is similar to Selena's style. Janet was a huge inspiration to her. Legends inspire other legends.

[@sherenay3109]

I noticed that too.

[@rubiopicazojoseph]

You can tell where Selena got her design ideas (on her clothes) from.

[@MsMoneyHunny1]

This was when we had real music and singers. They ALL had talents and was very good speakers also. Artists only spoked well of other artists and was given respect.

[@Zzoarqg]

+MsMoneyHunny1 YESSSSS!

[@trenaedunigan75]

She slipped away like "hold on nigga i gotta grab my shit, i earned this" 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️😍😍 i love her so much. She was already an icon at 24

[@CHACHA-rh7xj]

foreal huh 😂😂💖

[@cupidsiza]

She's a female version of Michael in every sense of the word! It's mind blowing!❤❤❤

[@TheFever77]

They don't make stages like that anymore! What an entrance.

[@melissamaninang5693]

Janet looks so beautiful and always so humble. Love that smile :)

[@pastcineo]

The Queen of Multiple Standing Ovations (among many other Queen titles she holds)

[@MsMoneyHunny1]

So the Bey Hives can drop that shit calling Beyonce Queen.

[@nyla.michal01]

😂😂😂😂

[@nyla.michal01]

😂😂😂😂

[@MsMoneyHunny1]

NEVER BEFORE HAS A FEMALE DOMINATED THE WHOLE FIELD OF BILL BOARD CATAGORY & AND THE ONLY OTHER ARTIST WAS MICHAEL JACKSON.

[@robinshorts2130]

Janet was the first to make her album into a mini movie

[@maryarmour4868]

No one and I mean NO ONE has done this as a woman!!!!! Janet is THE QUEEN OF POP!!! If this didn't tell all the ppl who is the Queen!!! I don't know what would!!! There a few that thinks Madonna, Paula sorry Paula I love your music 2, but the fact is Janet rules music!!!! I'm always gonna love her music and I know I love her 2 this day!!! Only person that did this was Michael Jackson!!! I'm sure he was so proud of her like the rest of Janet's fans!!! But Janet didn't follow her brother she wanted 2 make her own music on her on!!!! And she did it 2!!! Love u Janet u r the best besides her brother.... But she is the true QUEEN OF POP!! And if other ppl doesn't know this they r all IDIOTS!!! Sorry but very true!!! JJ4EVER!!!

[@gerryowen4200]

Clemson/Atlanta Girl8801 Google queen of pop...it ain’t Janet. Soz.

[@cami42874]

She was as big as Whitney and Maria and as big as her brother Michael Jackson awesome

[@johnnywilliams1410]

Now she is over both of them put together. Janet is a mega star, omega, like Michael Jackson, next to Beyonce now.

[@indiansage9295]

Janet so gorgeous and talented and creative and unique,she deserves every award and she still slaying to this day.god bless you janet

[@4theloveofbeyonce554]

Janet dominated the 90's along with Mariah Carey

[@edmas65]

induct janet into the rock and roll hall of fame

[@guitar_roker3590]

This comment aged pretty well :)

[@ayunaayuna3271]

It's crazy cuz Janet was this influential well before her prime in my opinion; Velvet/All For You can be considered her prime eras where she could do no wrong!!

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

I feel she can still do no wrong

[@yasmin935]

I think she hit more than one prime. Like Mariah who had a huge comeback in 2005.

[@damnright1766]

Its crazy how she was only partially through the Rhythm Nation era and all this excitement was already bestowed. Gotta realize no one was bringing the heat on stage as a female, not even Madonna,at this time. I think Madonna had saw her impact so quickly and thats where all of the slick shade started with her making borderline remarks.

[@gerryowen4200]

SEXCILLION did you see Madonna’s impact in 1990? Vogue, Blonde ambition tour, immaculate collection.

[@maximilian2974]

Omg the blonde ambition tour was voted the number 1 best tour of the 90's. I get liking Janet but you cannot compare Madonna's numbers to Janet's. Both great in their own right but Madonna's sales speak for themselves. Guiness book of world records check it out and stop spreading your false narrative.

[@reginasmith6276]

Incredible!!!!!! She did what her brother did l know she was like l want to be like Micheal and she accomplished ✌☺☺☺☺☺ 8 awards congrad l know l'm late we didn't have KZbin in 1990.

[@neishaj4453]

I remember watching this as a teenager back then. Janet was badass what a legend!

[@theilliad4298]

Janet Jackson was the 2nd most successful artist of the 90s

[@bentovar7777]

No one today can get an ovation like that...

[@fearlessbeauty9311]

Queen of all queens!😘

[@lynnecrisp]

A female M.J it's uncanny it blows your mind. My opion is shes better than M.J. even tho they are individuals but she has alot of M.J. in her but I think she's far better but different

[@gabriellevillarreal523]

The crowd’s reaction when she went back for her trophies.

[@ahmadtillery7372]

Beautiful soul her and Michael and all their siblings. Joseph & Katherine did a great job raising them.

[@Chameleon876]

Queen, Legend, icon... like no other.

[@dancerjack1814]

Look at my woman doing the thing. We are a part of the Rhythm Nation!

[@theilliad4298]

i love her outfit too.

[@KiKi--KiKi]

Janet said "Fuck that! I'm taking ALL of my awards with me off this stage!!"

[@elliep2278]

The QUEEN of Pop!!! Forever!!

[@CelestialGatez]

I attended her very FIRST concert in Miami! She killed it!

[@abbyluvssoccer]

Much more talented than her brother. Sorry that the US treated you so shamefully after Super Bowl!
