@ X, Y and DUMBASS Z.....FIRST, Janet never rode the success of the Jackson's at all. Once again, u are one of the one's that are ignorant. She NEVER wanted to be a singer, in fact, she wanted to become a lawyer. Her father was the one who pushed her into a singing career, hence the reason she fired him much earlier in her music career. Hence her breakout hit CONTROL. Secondly, yes u did have to be talented in the 80s and 90s to be successful. Unlike, today where u can get by with auto-tuned sound and cookie cutter singles that only last a couple months and then they are outdated. Proof of 80s and 90s music being much better today can be seen by many artist that were out back then. Most of their songs are classic now and CANNOT be rivaled by any of this mess out now AND the people STILL enjoy the old songs. THIRDLY, do u know the pressure of being successful when your brother is MICHAEL JACKSON? This further proves Janet's talent. NOONE can rival MJ and the mere fact that Janet established herself and a career after her brothers success further proves her talent. So stfu cuz u sound ignorant, give me facts and NOT opinion.
