I like Janet jackson music but this dude is tripping if we're talking vocals alone. Janet got the whispery shyt on lock because her range isn't wide. She's good at her level which is an order magnitude below Whitney.

Fam I nearly fell off my chair Whitney asking folks if they can hear her in the back would be humble bragging turned up to eleven:dead:

The problem with Whitney was her pop image "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" was pure pop, it's not even a horrible record looking at it from a technical standpoint it's perfect actually but it's for the radio, ice rinks and white women with long butts and leg warmers smh

So, whitney got no songs like that

once again, there's more to music than just having a BIG VOICE

Janet has way better music than Whitney Houston its not even debatable

Jennifer Hudson can sing EVERY WHITNEY HOUSTON SONG, they hard songs to sing if you have a big voice, they are designed for that

She cant really sing it. She just yells a lot and doesn’t sound nearly as good. Not even close.

:dwillhuh: but all the OG's saying the same thing... And they posting receipts
Most people are discussing Whitney vs anita. Only this dude is insulting whitney by comparing her music to dry ass Celine dion songs and even having the balls to mention Janet in the same ball park as Whitney as far as talent.

If you know his posting history he constantly have terrible opinions. :hhh:

I’ve said on here many times black folks wasn’t fukking with Whitney like that till after the Bodyguard. I remember my pops calling her and Lionel Richie sellouts. A lot of it had to do with the fact that her mother was this great gospel singer and Whitney ended up being a pop tart
How can you hate on Lionel Richie?!?!?

Unfortunately yes lol. Janet is the better singer between the two but she is no Whitney

You can’t say that if Latoya sang “that’s the way love goes” it would sound the same as Janet singing it. Janet is an ok singer but she can at least hold a note. Latoya sounds ridiculous lol

I know that song and I danced to it but it was never played in the black spots I went to. Only the mixed or white spots :yeshrug:.

I’ve heard more white spots play it than any other. I never hear it on black radio nowadays, just on white radio stations that play old music.
The people around me know that I love pop music and I'm not too embarrassed to say so or to play pop around them

It really wasn't that whitney wasn't black enough it was that she was doing bubble gun pop.

Same with MC Hammer he got janked on cause he was doing pop music.

Plus as great of a singer whitney was she wasn't an entertainer (singing and dancing). But its also like that when you burst on the scene and folks feel you didn't earn it or your stuff was watered down.

In the end black folks overall liked and respected whitney.
