Bailey Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I remember how robbed I felt Tina was for her work on "If" but I think the reality was voters thought, hey let's spread the love....how many times are we gonna give a Jackson best dance? So they decided to give Salt-N-Pepa some love for making a comeback that after that album they had no play no love coming....Janet had plenty more to come. I think Janet lost because of how obviously great the work on "If" was but think about this, how many times have you seen the work from "If" being recreated or imitidated? I think the lasting legacy of "If" is nothing touches its greatness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Its like Meryl Streep said when she won her Oscar...I guess this is the last time I'll be up here, meaning they had already given her many noms and wins, so how much more love was she going to get? Why not let some others win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 And this is where I question if not excluding Janet was the best idea. I think so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Bowing out of the competition is Mariah Carey whose cover of 'Without You' lands in fourth place for 1994. Originally released by Badfinger in 1970, Mariah actually based her cover on Harry Nilsson's version which he recorded the following year. Coincidentally, Nilsson died of a heart attack around the time Mariah's cover was gearing up for release. The song spent almost half the year in the Top 40, reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100. Internationally, the song was also a success, peaking at No. 3 in Australia whilst charging all the way to No. 1 in Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Austria, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK where, like Prince this same year, Mariah earned her only number one record (solo) there to date. The third single lifted from Music Box, 'Without You' was one of four singles which helped the album shift over 30 million copies worldwide, ranking it among the best-selling albums of all time. Writers: Pete Ham, Tom Evans Producers: Walter Afanasieff, Mariah Carey Label: Columbia And so the time has come to vote for our winner! Our all-female Final 3 sees us choosing between Janet Jackson with 'Any Time, Any Place', Toni Braxton with 'Breathe Again', and TLC with 'Creep'. Be sure to PM me your vote for the winner - winner will be announced within the next 24 hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
