The media is STRONG brain washing tool. I recall going to the Rock w\ You Tour in Atlanta, the media reported low ticket sales and posted pictures of empty seats behind the stage. That show was damn near sold completely out! This came down to her last name, being African American and on top of the WORLD... Janet could do no wrong prior to Super Bowl held in Texas (clears throat). A lot of people turned their backs and noses up to Janet. The critics, fans, Record labels and Executive, Radio, movie rolls (I can go on). Everyone was trying to "fix" a falling pop star to be the Hero! If it was Britney, Justin or Madonna intentional or not, people would have praised a tit and supported the music. Prince was blacklisted and targeted for BS until he passed.
Damita Jo theme was SEX... and happened to the most underrated gem to this day. The unreleased songs were even hot!
