Once established, her broad-based appeal never really dipped all that much; she was able to avoid significant career missteps, musical and otherwise, and successfully shifted her image from a strong, independent young woman to a sexy, mature adult.
With a string of multi-platinum albums under her belt, she showed no signs of slowing down in the new millennium. She was the youngest of nine children in the Jackson family, and her older brothers had already begun performing together as the Jackson 5 by the time she was born.
Bitten by the performing bug at a young age, she first appeared on-stage with the Jackson 5 at age seven, and began a sitcom acting career at the age of ten in , when producer Norman Lear selected her to join the cast of Good Times. She was cast in the musical series Fame in ; the following year, she issued her second album, Dream Street, which sold even more poorly than its predecessor.
Upon turning 18, Jackson rebelled against her parents' close supervision, eloping with a member of another musical family, singer James DeBarge. However, the relationship quickly hit the rocks and Jackson wound up moving back into her parents' home and having the marriage annulled.
Jackson took some time to rethink her musical career, and her father hired her a new manager, John McClain, who isolated his young charge to train her as a dancer and make her lose weight. Jackson collaborated with Jam and Lewis on most of the tracks for her next album, Control, which presented her as a confident, tough-minded young woman with a soft side and a sense of humor taking charge of her life for the first time.
Control became an out-of-the-box hit, and eventually spun off six singles, the first five of which -- "What Have You Done for Me Lately," the catch phrase-inspiring "Nasty," the number one "When I Think of You," the title track, and the ballad "Let's Wait Awhile" -- hit the Top Five on the pop charts.
Jackson was hailed as a role model for young women and Control eventually sold over five million copies, establishing Jackson as not just a star, but her own woman. It also made Jam and Lewis a monstrously in-demand production team. For the hotly anticipated follow-up, McClain wanted to push Jackson toward more overtly sexual territory, to which she objected strenuously.
Instead, she began collaborating with Jam and Lewis on more socially conscious material, which formed the backbone of 's Rhythm Nation the "" purportedly stood for either the letters "R" and "N" or the year "The Star-Spangled Banner" was written. Actually, save for the title track, most of the record's singles were bright and romantically themed; four of them -- "Miss You Much," "Escapade," "Black Cat," and "Love Will Never Do Without You " -- hit number one, and three more -- "Rhythm Nation," "Alright," and "Come Back to Me" -- reached the Top Five, making Jackson the first artist ever to produce seven Top Five hits off of one album something not even her brother Michael had accomplished.
Aside from a greater use of outside samples, Rhythm Nation's sound largely resembled that of Control, but was just as well crafted, and listeners embraced it enthusiastically, buying over six million copies. Jackson undertook her first real tour she'd appeared at high schools around the country in in support of the album and it was predictably a smashing success. Once on Virgin, Jackson set about revamping her sound and image.
The following year, she also resumed her acting career, co-starring in acclaimed director and former junior high classmate John Singleton's Poetic Justice, along with rapper Tupac Shakur.
But neither really hinted at the sexy, seductive, fully adult persona she unveiled with 's janet. Jackson trumpeted her new image with a notorious Rolling Stone cover photo, in which her topless form was covered by a pair of hands belonging to an unseen "friend.
The album's lead single, the slinky "That's the Way Love Goes," became Jackson's biggest hit ever, spending eight weeks at number one. In , Janet and Michael teamed up for the single "Scream," which was supported by an elaborate, award-winning, space-age video that, upon completion, ranked as the most expensive music video ever made.
The single debuted at number five on the pop charts, but gradually slid down from there. Yet while working on her next album, Jackson reportedly suffered an emotional breakdown, or at least a severe bout with depression; she later raised eyebrows when she talked in several interviews about the cleansing value of coffee enemas as part of her treatment. Her next album, The Velvet Rope, appeared in and was touted as her most personal and intimate work to date.
The Velvet Rope sought to combine the sensuality of janet. Critical opinion on the album was divided; some applauded her ambition, while others found the record too bloated. Unfortunately, Jackson's marriage to Elizondo had become strained and the couple divorced in , sparking a court battle over her musical income.
Jackson returned with a new album, All for You, in , which largely continued the sensual tone of janet. The title track was issued as the album's first single and quickly topped the charts, followed by another sizable hit in "Someone to Call My Lover. By she was back in the studio, working once again with Jam and Lewis on tracks for a new album; additional producers included Dallas Austin and Kanye West. Later that year, it was revealed Jackson would take part in an MTV-produced extravaganza during halftime at the Super Bowl.
The incident caused furious backpedaling and apologizing from Timberlake, Jackson, the NFL, CBS, and MTV, which swore no previous knowledge of the so-called "wardrobe malfunction," and led to speculation over how Damita Jo -- Jackson's upcoming album and her first in three years -- would be received.
But while the controversy gave Jackson both grief and a bit of free advertising, it was also the impetus for a national debate on public indecency.
A federal commission was set up to investigate prurience, the FCC enacted tougher crackdowns on TV and radio programs broadcasting questionable content, and suddenly everyone from pundits to politicians to the man in the street had an opinion on Janet Jackson's chest.
Later that March, the singer quietly started making the talk show rounds. She was still apologizing for the incident, but she was also promoting Damita Jo, which Virgin issued at the end of the month.
Largely considered a disappointment, the album nonetheless sold over two million copies worldwide and earned three Grammy nominations. Jermaine Dupri, Jackson's love interest and the executive producer of the album, was so upset over Virgin's lack of support that he left his post as president of Virgin's urban division. Dupri moved to Island, and so did Jackson; in , Jackson released her tenth studio album, Discipline.
