  1. tumblr_li834e8oQE1qbjcc2o1_500.pngsuch a cute pic... And they do have a lot in common... Starting out as teen actresses (Janet in 77 and Kylie in 79) That's some long ass careers...

    I like this one more :wub:

    And Game, FYI - as much as I hate to say, Kylie is a bigger global star than Janet right now. Yes Janet is bigger in the USA but Kylie is much bigger in the other bigger markets. And even in the USA Janet hasnt done much for years sales/charts wise.They are both Icons.

    Aphrodite was a big flop. I don't think it sold as much as Discipline ww, lol. But Kylie can still out-tour Janet easily. Her tours are amazing.

  2. Mutha LordNet does not forgive so easily. She MIGHT slew you to the pits to dwell with Beenie Man

    Only time will tell though. -_- *prays for your soul*

    :lmao:

    When I read the OP I thought you were going with the MJB angle :lmao: Like buying something from BK is supporting MJB, which is an insult to the Mother Lord. :lmao:

    I think the Nutrisystem worship was even better. :lmao:

  3. I disagree sexy, Janet should have had at least 2 more albums in the 90's they would have sold by all accounts and it would not have been overexposure. The big critique of Janet is she in fact did not release many albums in the 90s at all.

    I agree... Janet SHOULD'VE. Since she really didn't have much compared to the other divas. (Especially Mimi.) But my point was just that she probably wouldn't have matched Madonna even if she had released just as much stuff. It's really a moot point, but she never had Madonna's European fanbase, etc.

  4. She has released more, she's had tonnes of non-studio projects that have added greatly to the bulk of sales.

    Other 90s artists didn't have all these albums.

    You can be sure if Janet released as frequently in the 80s and 90s as madonna,, more greatest hits, live albums, remix albums, soundtracks....she would have sold more than Madge.

    But of course Janet kept it classy with solid studio albums only every few years, just 2 remix albums and just 2 GHs in her career :)

    I highly doubt Janet would've sold another 100 million albums (more than her career total) even if she had released twice as many as she did. That's the thing--Madge still sold a shitload of albums while being consistently overexposed for over a decade.

  5. She's only sold so much more cause she's released so much more than comparable divas. Why dont people get that.

    She hasn't, though. And no, she sold so much more because she sold better. She has four albums that have sold 20m+ copies ww. One has sold ~30m!

  6. Get the point? Good. EH

    :lol:

    Surprised Control didn't make it, though. And at least one of them should be a little higher than that.

    As for the dated VH1 list discussion. Honestly, I was bracing for the worst. She was really low on the '90s list, and we all know how these publications often snub Janet. Her top 10 placement satisfied me. The only thing that made it bittersweet was how Gaga, Beyonce and ADELE(!) were above her. Insanity.

    Like, I get that Gaga has made a huge impact. But there other women who have made huge impacts and then promptly fallen off. To put her in the top five is... just bizarre. And for all we know Adele could be the next Shania Twain/Norah Jones.

    And then there's P!nk and Christina over Britney... :mellow:

  7. lol I always thought you sort of guessed that she sold 140m and threw it out there for the uneducated. It's cool to know that it's an educated guess.

    Really wish her albums weren't so undercertified, but at the end of the day she gets just as much respect as Madonna, Whitney and Mariah among those in the know (more than Mariah really), so it doesn't matter too much.

  8. I've been "getting into shape" for like 2.5 years.

    I'm not as much of a gym nazi as I used to be--lately I've allowed myself an every-other-day thing. But I suspect I've lost some drive because I'm not eating enough (two meals a day) or sleeping enough (almost never get 7 or more hours on weekdays) at school. Trying to fix ALL of it and maintain a healthy lifestyle, but I can't complain about how I look now. I've absolutely improved even since last year. I've never been happier with my appearance, really. And it feels nice.

    Gotta go to the gym tonight!
