Wasn't there a thread about Beyonce supposedly saying something similar about "making music for Black people"? What is that the new slogan or something? I don't get it. Mostly because I don't believe either said it.
Why would they alienate many of their fans by saying that? Sounds bogus.
Janet needs to realize that she doesn't have to compete with these 20-something year olds. She has created her own style, which many of the current pop stars copy.
