Her presence has always been what Control is about, her music (ESPECIALLY her masterpiece last year) is the child of Rhythm Nation, janet., & The Velvet Rope. Janet has many musical daughters, some represent her singing style, some represent her performance style, most represent both, but few represent her artistry and activism at it's best (and in many ways keeps the conversations that Janet got started and got popular 20-30yrs ago going), and Janelle is that daughter. Not to mention Janelle is both black and queer...that's basically Janet's audience in a nutshell. Janelle is about to Stan on that stage and you hoes will deal! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Right, I'd rather someone who represents what Janet's legacy has been all about, not some flavor of the month, plus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We and Janet should recognize this is no ordinary award, this is one for the history books, this is one of those it goes in the autobiography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Listen. I dont have an issue w/ Janelle the thing is..i thought it would be someone who played some part in her career and/or some prominent well seasoned figure in the world of entertainment. Like Austin said...a peer like Mariah...hell even a Stevie, an Elton, or even shit a Grace Jones. But im certainly not in here tryna be the "complaining stan" ...lol I was juss being vocal about me not being excited about Janelle. No biggie. Im more glad Janet is getting her day regardless. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand and Im with you, but again, considering the "stuff" going on I'm actually glad she's attending and not in hiding somewhere, and Janelle has shown influence from Janet and respect towards her. I'm low key thinking of all the tributes and respect paid to Janet, this one Beyonce could/should have done if it was about her children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton John sand Grace Jones have nothing to do with Janet. Stevie, I guess. But despite Janet saying so, I don’t hear his influence in any of her music, aside from a few samples. Mariah will induct Whitney, which would be much more appropriate than Janet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace Jones has spoken less than flattering of Janet in the past so I believe its true, not to mention the fact Grace Jones is nuttier than squirrel shit anyway so probably best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illi Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The only problem with Janelle is that she isn't the megastar who some think well better validate Janet's legacy. However, her music is a lot of Janet infliences and she is well-abled to articulate Janet's influence on her life and that of many others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariah gave a speech about Whitney at the BET Awards. She's spoken highly about Janet on numerous occasions dating back to the early 2000s. Honestly, it should really be a peer imo. Someone who was there to witness Janet at her peak. Toni, MJB, hell even Celine. I have nothing against Janelle, but this is a momentous career milestone and everything should reflect that.
