@Janet is a legend -- But it was YOU who made-mention of 'Make me' ; NOT I! As a matter of a fact, those comments, from that Billboard music-journalist, are 'incomplete'. I omitted parts, where was-said that "Discipline" was INITIALLY#1, but was considered a to be "disappointment," because the weeks AFTER it's initial release: "sales "quickly-FELL OFF!"

...And the fact that YOU "like her" should-not be sole/partial/fractional "criteria!"
...I'd take Whitney Houston, in her "current condition" AS A SINGER over Janet Jackson - in her prime - ANY DAY; ANY YEAR; ANY LIFETIME; in this one, and in my next lifetime! AT the very-least, I'll can "sweetly lament the "once-what-was";"all-THAT-was"; and the "what could-have-been!"

Janet Jackson's success, when the "history of contemporary-time is written," will be seen as the product of the "other-worldly skill set" of the 'likes of'- flytetyme productions; wondrous PR;and-yes, HER last name: 'JACKSON'!!!!

...And we've yet-again "circled-back" to my initial-question: as-to-when, in-which-decade/ millennium did Janet Jackson "sell records"? ...'Cause, as I previously said, her last-offering, the one YOU MADE REFERENCE: 'Make Me' did NOT sell! Yes, it had a strong initial showing, which made it debut at #1, but then "sales quickly fell off!" <<--A direct "Billboard quote!"

...And could you please "refrain from use-of dramatics" when concluding your posts? ...Talking outta the side of your neck;tossing your weave's pony tail; and said-like dramatics, "was-old, when Janet was hot!"

X,Y,"and Z" -- OUT!
