Why do any of you think the R&R has nominated her? Because her fans stayed on they asses about it....nows not the time to say our voices dont matter, nows the time to say induct her and move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetsgurl108 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 This is great news. As soon as you see "rock and roll" of course the sideways comments were going to come out, but we created rock and roll so I remain unbothered. I would love to see Janet, Chakha Khan and Chic all get in. Now that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I noticed that after you click the "Place Your Vote" button and the top 15 screen pops up, instead of clicking the 'X' and then clicking the "Place Your Vote" button again and again; just hold your 'enter' key down for awhile and it seems to add a lot more votes quicker? Is it just me? Because every time I try clicking the 'X' and then the 'Place Your Vote', the votes move up slower enjoy people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sacred Prostitute Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 They induct 5 performers with a couple of special inductee titles.....I think Janet might just get in on her first nomination!  Janet should have been nominated right about the time before Damita Jo but we all know what happened.  With the new album there is just no way around it, no way!!!!!!!  They had to nominate Janet for the 2016 class of inductees as the album for "Unbreakable" and tour is truly a testament to Janet's relevancy from today's music and her catalogue from the last 30 years as we near the 30th anniversary of the "Control" album.  "Control"till this day still stands the test of time and come tomorrow we should know if Janet solidifies her 7th Number 1 album. She is the only artist of the nominees who is still creating music and refining herself as a performer, writer, singer, and producer on the verge of creating an amazing music label that could possibly introduce us to some amazing talent.  Yes Chaka Khan is still performing and she should be inducted as well along with The Smiths as far as the others I'm not so sure about.  I love Nine Inch Nails but I wouldn't automatically say they are a shoe in as Trent Reznor is more of a solo act now. But if the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame want to stay relevant they know best to induct Miss Janet Damita Jo Jackson!  Not only is she so deserving of being inducted but she will bring ratings to the HBO special and sell tickets for the event.  And continue to vote even if the fan vote will play a minimal role in deciding who the 5 inductees will be.....continue to vote and make sure Janet comes in at number 1 as it will still count in showing the public how relevant Janet's fans are. You're dismissed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Janet Jackson adds 'wow' factor to 2016 Rock Hall Nominations Janet Jackson kicks off her Unbreakable Tour in Miami. (AP)PrintEmailBy Troy L. Smith, Northeast Ohio Media Group Follow on Twitter on October 08, 2015 at 9:01 AM, updated October 08, 2015 at 9:34 AM0  Reddit  ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME 2016Rock Hall 2016: Is it now or never for Chicago?Chicago and Yes fans produce record numbers for 2016 Rock Hall Fan VoteRock and Roll Hall of Fame 2016: 10th time the charm for Chic?What the Rock Hall can learn from Baseball Hall of Fame's induction processRock Hall Nominations: Why Smashing Pumpkins, Mariah Carey and Blur missed out  CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a museum that honors the rich history of music, while featuring the most influential and impactful artists of all-time. The annual Rock Hall Induction Ceremony is a bit of a different story.The ceremony, while honoring legendary artists, has to worry about selling tickets and drawing viewers to HBO. With that being said, the nomination committee has found no better candidate to put butts in the seats next April thanJanet Jackson.Jackson, one of this year's 15 nominees, may be one of the more polarizing acts on the ballot. But her significance as one of the biggest music stars of all-time can't be denied.Jackson has sold over 100 million records worldwide. That's more than Linda Ronstadt, Van Halen, Tom Petty, Green Day, the Police and several of other inductees you want to throw into the mix.Jackson has more than 20 top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including 10 No.1's. She has as many as four seminal albums that paved the way for some of the biggest pop stars of this generation, from Beyonce and Usher to Rihanna and Katy Perry.More importantly, Jackson's new album, "Unbreakable," is on pace to become her seventh chart-topper on the Billboard 200. Add that to Jackson's current world tourand you have, arguably, the most relevant artist among this year's nominees.Sure, Jackson is nowhere near being as "rock" as other nominees and longtime snubs like Deep Purple, The Cars, Steve Miller or Cheap Trick. But, with all due respect, none of those bands are Rock Hall Ceremony headliners.If you want to subscribe to the theory that the Rock Hall Inductions are a highly political process (which they probably are), consider what a headliner means for the ceremony. All you have to do is compare a year like 2014, when Nirvana and Kiss were inducted, to 2011, when your headliner was...Alice Cooper? Tom Waits? Neil Diamond? How do you think those ratings did?When you're looking to uphold the integrity of a museum, perhaps sales and popularity shouldn't matter. But you're naive if you think they aren't huge factors when planning one of music's biggest annual events.A hypothetical class featuring, say, Nine Inch Nails, Steve Miller, Chicago, Deep Purple and Chaka Khan would be exceptional. But where's the "wow" factor?Younger audiences may not be all that familiar with the likes of Yes, Chicago or Cheap Trick, aside from a few songs they've sung at high-school parties or college bars. And the incomparable Trent Reznor, who is currently reshaping the way we consume music with Apple, doesn't exactly relish the spotlight.If you want a headliner in 2016, it's Miss Jackson (if you're nasty or not). She's a sure bet to perform at next April's ceremony. Never mind the likelihood that a massive pop star like Justin Timberlake or Rihanna could induct her.Will any of these facts satisfy diehards that are still upset artists like Donna Summer or even Hall and Oates got inducted before The Moody Blues or Dire Straits? No.I guess I could give you another potential headliner for 2016. How about N.W.A.? Well, that's likely to spark an entirely different (and much larger) debate. http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/10/janet_jackson_adds_wow_factor.htmlThis tells me she might be a shoe-in. Hate that it sounds like she'll get in just because she can bring in ratings.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sacred Prostitute Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 she wasn't eligible until 2007To be honest I tend to skip the first decade of the 2000's......I also made my assumption under the guise that an artist needed to have released their first album in 1990 or earlier but I guess that rule applies to this year which makes sense mathematically.  My bad. Regardless she should be inducted was the point I was trying to make.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
