@ Chica, 2 things - you sound a bit dismissive in regards to what Janet has accomplished. Careers like hers don't happen everyday. Janet is still quite relevant today (and has been for almost 25 years), that's a major achievement in itself!

I do agree that Bey, being the new girl on the block is ruffling the feathers of some Janet fans. I don't think Bey is anything like Janet - so I'm not looking for her to pay her homage. They're apples and oranges. So, I guess if that was your point - then I agree with you there. As far as janet influencing many in the industry is concerned - it goes with question, absolutely!!!!
