Beyonce sings and performs better than Janet, this isn't really up for debate. Janet might technically be a superior dancer, but so what?
The Official MTV Video Music Awards Thread. *Performances in OP*
- Thread starter Mike Otherz
- Start date
So what is said is no longer relevant?! As long as skin is showing, booty is big and shaking to the beat, and notes are held, there can be GOAT levels?
And what if neither of them are deep, does this make them equal in content? Just my opinion, but I cannot think of one memorable thing Beyonce has sung.
However, I'm not her target audience, but my daughters are.
Not a fan of either, but go check the opening of Rhythm Nation for example and tell me they both on the same level lyrically.
Justsayin..

songs like "new agenda", "together again", "state of the world", "what about" all say otherwise
anyway, this and that other beyonce thread are severely underrating Janet. bey is a star in a time with fewer stars and exponentially greater media coverage so she come off as untouchable, but Janet is/was in that league. beyonce puts a lot into her show, she always said she wasn't the greatest dancer which is why she compensates by the types of moves she does and her energy, but everything bey has done on stage janet has done + more.

The irony of it all is Beyonce is being slighted for having a great team and Janet is being praised even though she had one of the easiest passes into stardom being the sister of MJ.
This is equivalent to Sophia Coppola
No ones denying Janet's talent but don't slight others for the team around them when you are ignoring the help others got.

i wouldn't count being mj's sister as part of the machine behind janet (how did that go for all the other jacksons that tried to be solo stars....especially latoyaThe irony of it all is Beyonce is being slighted for having a great team and Janet is being praised even though she had one of the easiest passes into stardom being the sister of MJ.

.Which is why I always say, "teams only go so far"..The people who are on top are there for a reason. Janet is talented as almighty. These dudes on here really believe "Amerie"
and others coulda would shoulda been bigger than Bey based off what? Nothing but salty ass nikkas. Reminds me of those dustheads who always talkin about some cat on some court who's coulda been better then

She's exactly where macklemore was last year and where is he now? This was suppose to be her night but she got shut out, i forget when the Grammys are but that's her last chance before she disappears into irrelevance.
Folks out there really MAD that it seems like Jay & Bey can't lose. I see what they don't want to see, that includes CA.Cs, Brother Tambos & Crabs....a highly successful, powerful Black couple on the top of their game year after year. Black Excellence at its finest
Did I just see some people post that Janet is a better singer than Beyonce?
Janet couldn't sing for shyt and yet some of you have the audacity she's the better singer. Stuck on stupid ass nikkas.

Janet never sings live unless it's a ballad but you will still have some folks think her whisper voice is better than Beyonce.....It's very funny and sad how folks try so hard to dislike Beyonce and yet they know most of her songs.

I guess that's why LaToya, Rebbie, Jermaine and Marlon all had stellar solo careers as well
Janet had a superstar potential within her that her siblings didn't. Being MJ's sister didn't help her as much as you think. Her first two albums before Control flopped. The sole fact that people will credit Michael for her success, no matter what she did (she made her own separate sound, she co-choreographed her own routines, wrote and produced her own music) or what she accomplished (she's set records that even Michael doesn't have, one of the most award female artists) is proof of that right there. Janet has her own iconic images, albums and songs. Janet's voice is the female version of Michael's. Someone lowered the pitch of her vocals and it sounded EXACTLY like Michael. People were fooled and thought Michael actually recorded this.
And Janet can definitely do more than light and soft. Check 'He Doesn't Know I'm Alive' off the Control album.
