Pope John Paul II insisted upon those clergy who perpetrated these evil acts are prosecutor to the full extent of the law. Sinead was a wack job from the start.

It’s the fact that Janet’s career faced the repercussions of the incident (accident or on purpose), but not Justin’s, who was the one who pulled the piece off in the first place, or at least the person who designed the outfit. Imo, the resulted backlash definitely was due to either a race thing, a gender thing, or a combination of the both as well as Janet being a Jackson.

I'm sorry, I have no problem with the incident itself... but to try and lie your way out of it after the fact. The people who got mad at the boob were prudes, and probably a few racists who weren't mad at the boob itself, but the fact that it was a black woman's boob. I was 100% on their side until that "wardrobe malfunction" farce. She should have just owned up to it. Her early stuff was just poppy r&b stuff. Her later stuff was sexed up. Which exploded her career for a while. She posed topless with someone holding her naked boobs for the album "Janet". I repeat that was - not - a "wardrobe malfunction".

Boney M didn't sing their songs either and yet ... nothing!! Poor Milli Vanilli!!

[@mootbooxle]

People tend to forget that Milli Vanilli was created and shaped by the same guy who was behind Boney M…It’s just basically Boney M 2.0, updated for the 90s! Plenty of artists have lip synced and got no backlash whatsoever…like Whitney’s famous Star Spangled Banner performance at the Super Bowl. Even Michael Jackson had backing tracks during some of the intense dance numbers. They didn’t have to get publicly shamed and give back their Grammys! That whole thing is unfortunate on so many levels.
