vaquero Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 According to a well-placed source, Janet Jackson is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2015. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion. UPDATE 16/02/2015 : This story seems to be false. (read more) Why not Jackson for Person of the Year? The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 48-year-old singer, as a 2015 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate. “What makes Jackson so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Gary Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Gary (Janet Jackson's hometown). Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year A representative for the singer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter: “Janet Jackson Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.” — @TheNewsEditor, 15 Feb 2015 “Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveJanet” — @BarbaraHeyboer, 15 Feb 2015 “Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Janet Jackson?” — @TheClassicObserver, 15 Feb 2015 Could 2015 officially be the Year of Janet Jackson? Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2015 Person of the Year. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasSad Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 LOL this makes no sense. The year has barely begun. She would have to cure a disease to get it. It will probably be all the hostages killed by ISIS to pay homage or some political leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
