1. i wonder if they realize the fuck er right in the pussy guy was staged lol( i was utterly heartbroken when i heard...he was a legend in my eyes)
2. She said "fuck it I quit"💯😂😂😂😂 #NotAllHeroesWearCapes
3. fuck it! I'd love to see Janet's boob anytime😎😎😎😎😎👏👏👏👏👏
4. That still makes me so mad that JANET had to apologize for JUSTIN ripping her boob out.
5. If you're going to talk about Wardrobe Malfunctions you need to educate these sheep about the repercussions Janet Jackson faced after her "staged" performance.
   
   Yes bitches. It was staged. The plan was that Justin was supposed to tear away a part of Janet's costume. Originally, it was decided by MTV that it would be cool to have him tear away a skirt but when they went into costume rehearsals the skirt kept falling off Janet during Rhythm Nation prior to Justin's cue to tear it off. The whole tearing of the skirt idea was then killed by MTV production who thought it was too risky and problematic.
   
   The idea of something coming off "at the end of this song" however, stuck with Janet's team and her costume designer suggested that they remove piece of her costume on her boob exposing a red garment underneath.
   
   Let me repeat that for all you dumb bitches who think other wise;
   A red garment. The one you can clearly see sticking out underneath her costume during her performance. A red garment. NOT a boob, NOT a nipple ring. A red garment. A.K.A. a fucking bra.
   
   Now heres where the problems came in. Justin couldn't be bothered to show up for rehearsals so they never had the chance to test whether or not this change in costume would work. They ended up rushing through the motions THE DAY OF because thats when Justin showed up. The DAY OF.
   
   When push came to shove, not only did Justin miss his mark. He was supposed to rip off the black portion at "gonna have you naked by the end of this SONG" rip black vinyl on SONG
   During the performance he rips it off too early on "gonna have you NAKED rips by the end of this song". So he missed his mark but also ripped off the red garment with it exposing Janet's breast which Janet reacted to by quickly catching it but it was too late. It was a staged moment that did not go as planned and is therefore, AN ACCIDENT.
   
   If this was staged.
   Why the hell, would she look and be surprised about it.
   THE LYRICS SAY; "gonna have you naked by the end of this song" So if she had planned to expose a boob all along, there would have been no reaction from Janet, she would have just stood there but she didn't just stand there. She looked down, saw it, and quickly tried to cover up.
   
   According to the director of the telecast for MTV, Janet was mortified, covered herself in a towel and was sobbing after the lights went out. Does that sound like an accident to you?
   
   So afterwards.
   Viacom, MTV, Clear Channel Communications, and Infinity Broadcasting decided that they couldn't be bothered to promote or "align" themselves with Janet Jackson because the media blew the incident out of proportion and turned it into a political debate about decency. (Meanwhile our soldiers are DYING in Iraq, distraction much?)
   
   Viacom/MTV decided to start a commercial blacklist on Janet Jackson. MTV and VH1 did not play her music videos from 2004-2007. In a time where Youtube, Spotify, and various other music streaming platforms did NOT exist. It was crucial for an artist of Janet's caliber to PROMOTE their music on MTV. No promotion= NO SALES.
   
   Meanwhile, Clear Channel communications and Infinity Broadcasting, owners of radio stations across the country decided to also blacklist Janet Jackson preventing her songs from receiving airplay on several pop music formats. The result, Janet who was named "Queen of Radio" in 2001, suddenly has singles underperforming. No radio airplay = NO SALES, NO VISIBILITY. The lead single from her 2004 album "Damita Jo" had leaked to radio prior to her Superbowl performance and was gaining sizeable downloads and was radio's most added song prior to the enforcement of the blacklist. Several other singles were subjected to this and as a result failed.
   
   On top of this blacklist. Justin had backtracked and even though there is no documented objection towards the performance prior to the incident. He ended up saying "that's not my style" in that fake ass wannabe gangster voice of his. As a result, he and his white privilege escaped scott free.
   
   Back to Janet, who's album "Damita Jo" was released later in the spring of 2004, guess what happens? It opens at #2 on the Billboard 200 despite being predicted to outsell her 2001 record "All For You". Not bad at all for someone without support from radio and MTV.
   
   Singles "Just a Little While" "I Want You" (which sold over a million copies) underperform on the Hot 100 at #45 and #57. Third single "All Nite (Don't Stop)" doesn't even chart despite showing massive impact in the underground music scene.
   
   The blacklist carries over to Jackson's subsequent project "20 Y.O." Where first single "Call On Me" reaches #25 on the Hot 100 SOLELY off sales, and airplay from the little amount of radio stations still supporting Janet. Guess who those radio stations were? Black Urban, R&B, and Hip-Hop stations. Second single "So Excited" reaches #90 becoming her lowest charting single ever.
   
   So now that we discussed the repercussions a woman faced over an accident that lasted less than 1 second. Let's consider some further points of analysis.
   
   If this was Britney Spears, do you think America would have blacklisted her?
   I don't think so.
   
   If it was Usher who ripped her costume, do you think he would get off scott free?
   I don't think so.
   
   If Michael JACKSON wasn't already going through a second set of allegations, do you think the media would have felt inclined to tear down Janet JACKSON simply because she's a Jackson?
   I don't think so.
   
   So for all you free the nipple people? Where the hell were you when Janet Jackson was getting crucified over this?
   
   For all you people who said "President Clinton if you're Nasty"
   Using Janet Jackson's feminist ode to promote your so-called progressive political views.
   Where the fuck were you bitches when Janet was being vilified in the media over this?
   
   I'll tell you where you were. NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.
6. Mariah Carey 2017 countdown
7. Haha, I don't know Jackson, it's an easy enough mistake.
8. Hey I'm related to al capone.
9. Sinead O Conner was right
10. Boy in the balloon really!?!? We're people dumb in the 80s
11. I live in Anchorage, lol charloo green was considered a moron, not a hero. She got raided countless times and isn't even allowed to open a pot store because of her antics.
12. I don't like how she made fun of the Bible
13. lol that kid was totally like fuck you parents ima embarass you on national television
14. Lool number one should have been wat happened in South Africa,a news reporter got robbed on live television
15. Ashley Simpson was terrible. I mean, it wasn't her fault that her band played the wrong song, but being a great performer means that you keep performing no matter what and don't let the audience realized that the performance was screwed up. you don't make it obvious, you just try your best. like if you play on the piano and accidentally hit a wrong note, you continue as if nothing as happened because you want to do your best and even though someone might notice, at least you gave it your best shot.
16. So what if she tore up a photo and had some complaints about how the church handled the children being molested.
17. What kind of dress is B wearing it looks like a baby bump only horizontal!!
18. I can't believe it has been years and people STILL think the Janet Jackson thing was a malfunction... it was an obvious setup
19. Kanye exposed d snake thnx Kim n kanye
20. i feel sorry for swift but i dont like her she is annoying as fuck.bruh😥
