VelvetKnowledge1814 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (I don't think a thread like this has been made before)Imagine that we're 100 years into the future and someone has never heard a Janet song. They can only listen to one of her songs. Which song do you think best summarizes her legacy and artistry? What one song do you think would give that person the best glimpse of Janet?

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Oh fuck you and your one song! The first song that popped in my head was Rhythm Nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) One song to sum it all up for them? im-fuckin-possible!!!!!! I guess I would have to go with RN for an overall glimpse of what she stood for as an artist. Edited May 30, 2016 by janetDAYZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Rhythm Nation. Its her Thriller. Her Thriller? She actually Wrote RN and she has topped its success.. It is not her "Thriller" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Her Thriller? She actually Wrote RN and she has topped its success.. It is not her "Thriller" Her Thriller as in her most recognizable piece of work globally, Game. Song and video. Anytime ppl see anything military its related back to Janet. Lord, stop taking shit so literal. Its boring and exhausting. Find a new hobbie,Christ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's her most "global" song ever.. I would chop that up to Together Again or AFY, IF, TTWLG so no.. It's not her "Thriller" #SorryThriller sold millions world wide and cemented MJ's legacy. RN is strong but it didn't have the world wide appeal you think it did.. It faired well only in the States (peaking at #2) and only being certified in the US (gold) Edited May 30, 2016 by Game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VelvetKnowledge1814 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 So the majority of people think RN. That was one of mine, but I think Control would also be a good song to summarize her as an artist.and Michael spent the rest of his entire life trying to top Thriller ....I always say Janet was more versatile she innovated more did more, RN was not the end but an era followed by many more great eras, which is also why I dont like comparing them they stand on their ownThat was one of his mistakes. Thriller set the bar very high early on in his career and it would be almost impossible for him to top its sales. I remember reading in his autobio that he wanted Bad to sell ~100 million. I love MJ and his music, but yeah, he could have done more things completely out of his comfort zone in terms of song and dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt expect him to know how impactful RN was... tho e was smart enough to say RN would be the ONE song that would represent who she is as artist 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 when I say my good cousin can read just a bit though RN is to Janet. What Thriller is to Mike and what Vogue is to Madonna..what Waterfalls is to TLC,etc.... Its their most recognizable song and video...period. Pretty much every artist has that ONE song and video thats synonymous to who they are. Alot of times he pretends to be delayed just to start a debate. Ive never seen someone be so bored in my life. It gets extremely old. EVERY single thing does not have to be a debate 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people do you see recreating AFY, IF, and TTWLG. Everyone remembers RN and it really her most iconic song and look Worldwide. I can literally post a video of people doing RN from every country on the globe There's quite a few videos out there that features many of Janet's songs. Maybe RN is the most "popular" but in 1989, it didn't do so well worldwide.. That's what I'm basing it off of (whereas Thriller murdered every country it was released in) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such thing as "being late" to a party when the party is older than i am Alot of times he pretends to be delayed just to start a debate. Ive never seen someone be so bored in my life.

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I answered the damn question with the majority... How I came to that conclusion doesn't matteri don't want to debate this or take it too "literal" but I remind you that this is a message board and a healthy debate is not out of line to expect, is it?
