bu. Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Janet Jackson doesn’t belong in the Hall, but she’s a super familiar name who had big hits over a fairly wide period of time, and that’s usually enough for the Hall voters. If it were a weaker class I’d say she was a lock, but it might not happen this year. I mean, if you’re going to admit mainstream state-of-the-art pop (and I think you should), why the freak isn’t the amazing Carpenters in the Hall?http://observer.com/2016/10/the-2017-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-nominees-are-a-disgrace-to-music/ Tim Sommer is a musician, record producer, former Atlantic Records A&R representative, WNYO DJ, MTV News correspondent, and VH1 VJ, and has written for publications such as Trouser Press and The Village Voice.

bu. Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Exactly so stop being a prissy bitch and expecting only positive articles on Janet because reality check - life is full of negatives.

Bailey Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I posted awhile back the Woman of the Year Emirates story and how Janet wasn't even nominated, folks here had the nerve to ask how it was Janet related....then the entire thread got moved to the general forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) whats wrong here is the idea Janet is this guy's mind isnt a stronger candidate that it should be a weaker class, when she's had more influence on music than a lot of those in this class. Janet is underrated and this has consistently been the issue. Edited October 27, 2016 by Bailey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCat77 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) There is nothing wrong with JanFam/RN being aware of different opinions regarding JanetFrom what I read he seems like one of those punk-rock fans that's mad that his faves aren't in the hall. That Janet paragraph alone can be easily dissected let alone the whole article . Janet's music actually saved lives... Can The Carpenters say that? Many acts can't...P.S I tried looking for his Twitter but couldn't find it. Edited October 28, 2016 by BlackCat77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Regardless of "some random guy's" opinion, he's wrong, period. He's undercutting Janet's career and proves she's VERY underrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Im tired of the same excuses every fucking time she gets nominated, "oh she's mainstream" "oh she's not good enough compared to the others" ...what do we have to do? wait until every white rock band gets in or until Janet's up against Britney Spears? I have an entirely different logic which goes like this, either Janet deserves induction or she doesn't. If we say she does, and I think we can all agree she does, then any time Janet goes without induction is wasted time on a foregone conclusion...Give people their flowers while they're alive!

Utopia Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just another try hard hipster tying to look EDGY and AlternativeSS11!!. Nothing to see here tbh. And some are pissed at Janet because they know that if Janet gets in then the gates are open for those with melanin. Janet gets in and the flood gates are open for Mariah, Whitney etc to get in as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illi Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Meh, I've heard worse. His argument lost credibility when he tried to compare her to the Carpenters, Even if you think the Janet is too mainstream, that comparison was absolutely asinine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
