I think Janet's body of work speaks for it self, and I really don't know what Michael has to do with anything besides the name, so what you heard of her because she's Michael's sister , because at the end of the day Michael didn't write her songs, produce her albums, or anything so I give credited where credit is due, and at the end of the day I am not fan of Janet because she's Michaels' little sister, it's sad that some Michael fans are still saying that crap. If you don't know by now than you don't get it.
and
no it has nothing to do with because it's or was acceptable to like Janet I think her material especially her pervious material spoke to alot of peopel she was singging about real issues, like , education, domestic violence, depression, homophobiea,HIV/AIDS some issues Michael hasn't even touched. so I think just alot of people just releated to her material
no her videos aren't on the level of thriller but they are decnet no the less, and she did deserve the Icon adward in 2001
