Convenient excuse? Is that why the FCC's former chairman Michael Powell spoke out against the matter 10 years later?

His words: "the treatment of Jackson and Timberlake – who were lambasted for causing ‘an outrageous stunt’ – was unfair. It all turned into being about her".

What's convenient is for you to cling to country artists (that typically sell more than pop singers). Btw, who isn't a MJ lessor? You're reaching!

As for selling like Mimi is concerned, Janet dominated the 80's and 90's. Mariah dominated the 90's and was going on a 2nd decade when she had her comeback in '05, put things into perspective a bit when you draw comparisons. Janet's career span exceeds 30 years. I think this retaliation of yours is soaked in "pressivity" and you obviously feel some kind of way - much more than I do.

You can bring up "best of" list and the RRHOF all you like, but we all know that when the media's public image of you isn't favorable these things aren't a reality.

Fact is Janet tours (before SB) >>> Madge's
Janet was Madonna's equal and she was able to be with less material to work with before Superbowl.

before 2004
Janet - 7 studio albums
Madonna - 9

#1 albums: Janet(5), Madonna (5)
#1 singles: Janet (10), Madonna (12) - with 2 extra albums

Tidbit: Janet's last #1 was in 2001, Madge's is in 2000. Why is that when Madonna's suppose to be every female pop star's superior?

- Janet's more awarded.
- Janet's tours did better than hers before 2004.
