first janet jackson is the best female proformer of all time. those who don't think must have been children on her last sold out world tour in 2001. i like beyonce but i don't love her she has not been around for 35 years like janet there always comfort in knowing that little penny from 30 years ago is still around, B i'm not sure her 9 year career can't compare at this point she's not a legend yet.
