Janet Jackson: The Thread

[NotDoctor PronounsHe/they]

Janet is a massive blind-spot for me and really wanna give her a shot.  I know I've definitely heard her music before but I probably can't name a single song.  So for someone going in with very little knowledge, where would y'all recommend starting to listen to her music?

I'd start with some of her greatest hits like Together Again, What Have You Done For Me Lately, That's The Way Love Goes, Rhythm Nation, All For You and Feedback

One of Janet's most overlooked songs. One of the two gems on Discipline and definitely deserved single/video treatment.

Which Damita Jo non-single do you guys prefer?

I've been listening to When I Think Of You a lot lately...a true iconic 80s bop.

Just finished to watch the #JanetDoc... It was AWESOME! And a reminder she's THEEE Empress Of Music! 🔥

I loved it when her daughter Ciara and Mariah spoke about how much of a legend and a real force Queen JJ is 😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

JJ should collab with both of them on the Black Diamond album! 

Also loved that part when Godnet and the King wrote Scream together 😍

YESS!! She is a legend, the greatest female dancer, the empress of music and the female blueprint (she paved the way... Britney, Ciara, Beyonce, Aaliyah, Tinashe, Janelle, Normani etc. are ALL her daughters)!
