Why is it such a competition? Who cares how much Janet had contributed (I can tell you that if she did, it would've been millions, if not tens of millions)? Really... I mean, despite what you think of her, how much you loathe her and so on, you cannot take her achievements away. No matter how much you play her career down, she's still the most successful female artist in the world after Madonna, highest paid female artist of the 90's and holds several world records. It matters none, and is off-topic. But stop acting like Janet is next to Jermaine or something, when it comes to cash flow.
Absolutely irrelevant, whether her bank shares are doing well or not. She's got a lot of cash coming in from several different projects (most of them I already mentioned).
WTH are you talking about? I replied others post and simply stated what katherine said in her deposition. Calm down.
Oh, ok. Sorry, I misunderstood
In my defence I hear this a lot. Hugs?I have to disagree with you strongly. Super Bowl made a huge impact on her career around Europe. Her song "Just A Little While" was incredibly radio-friendly, a perfect song for European radio and at first they played the sh*t outta that song, but then it flopped. And everything after that has flopped as well. After Damita Jo, I would agree that her music wasn't right for European audience at all, but Americans weren't that impressed either. People like Madonna can survive a complete BS of an album, simply because of their reputation... It has everything to do with the image. However, I agree with some of your points (musical direction later, and some personal decisions), and there's no one single reason for the current status of her career.
Did you even read the post I wrote before, and which you quoted? I already mentioned all of them. Movies, Best-selling book, Nutrisystem, World-Tour, a film deal with Lion's Gate, a billionare BF........ We do not know how much she's invested to different things, as she doesn't make such things public. So let's just drop this subject, as it will not go anywhere. As for Janet and fur.. She's never been against it. But yes, when she started promoting it some fans got really upset and it's one of the most avoided subjects among the forums cause it never ends well lol
Yes, really. That's when she stopped being the "only sane Jackson" as the media would say. That's when her image went from "talented" to "as crazy and attention seeking as the rest". Each review I read of the album was about Super Bowl and how she is desperate. MTV also blacklisted her, and refused to play any of her videos until 2008. She wasn't taken seriously after that. It matters zero how open minded we Europeans are, what matters is that that's how the media painted her, and that's how it was seen.
I don't really think it was Michael's nor Janet's job to pay for others, though. I understand supporting Katherine financially, but Jermaine, La Toya and Randy? Why would you do that? They've got jobs.
But is it not possible that she supported them financially but it was not documented anywhere? I'm pretty sure I've heard some reports that she did?
Yeah, this is what I was trying to say but ended up ranting about other stuff lol Thanks. It was not the nudity but the fact that it was seen as a desperate attention seeking stunt and it ate up her credibility.
Hmmm. I'm not that familiar with it but I think there could be many explanations to this. But I dunno. I'm sure she helped / helps when needed. Maybe Katherine didn't want any from her, as she was getting it all from Michael?
LOL Loved your reason for editing BTW
Yes, that was technically the reason why her career went downfall (although I don't think it had much to do with her music at the time). Damita Jo isn't my fav album either, but it wasn't that bad. 20 YO... Now there's an album that I dislike strongly.Too proud? Wouldn't be surprising. I don't think the Jacksons spoke as a group much, the information from one person to another didn't go through. I believe Janet, like Michael, distanced herself from her family for a period of time at one stage and I guess that has left a mark in their relationship. J & K have always spoken highly of each other as well, and according to Janet, Katherine was the one who kept the family together and informed Janet how the others were doing.
I guess. I wouldn't think too much of it though, and I'm sure things aren't like that now. Relationship with one person is always different from the one you have with someone else, and we don't really know what kind they've had / what kind they have right now.
