The facts don't lie: Flopnet is under-performing among the 3 ladies. Both 3 had their share of scandals & melt downs but Madonna & Mariah had managed to comeback. The Superbowl incident was like what? 10 years back & no comeback? Mariah shook off her meltdown & Glitter & did Emancipation. Madonna shook off bad press Erotica with Bedtime Stories/Ray of Light & she shook off American Life with COTD. How many albums does Janet need to do to shake off the Superbowl mess as an excuse?

So to even mention her in the same sentence as the true Queens Mariah & Madonna is a compliment to her. It's the reality, so face it: figures don't lie. Her chances of having a comeback is very slim, to say the least. Unless she does something truly radical: she should go hard or go home.

On the question on if they have to continue or mess their legacies, as long as the fans are alive, they should continue. They don't need to compete sales-wise with the younger generation, as they have proven themselves already. They should just release music that they luck, and the ageist people can just go to hell :P Remember, your faves will age do, and good luck to them if they even reach the longevity than these icons have.
