Janet Jackson

In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.

Janet Damita Jo Jackson (born May 16, 1966) is an African-American R&B/pop singer, actress and the younger sister of Michael Jackson. She started her performing career at age seven, and went on to become one of the best-selling artists in contemporary music.

Quotes

• To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family and he will forever live in our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.

• Acceptance is right. Kindness is right. Love is right. I pray, right now, that we're moving into a kinder time when prejudice is overcome by understanding; when narrow-mindedness, and narrow-minded bigotry is overwhelmed by open-hearted empathy; when the pain of judgmentalism is replaced by the purity of love.

Song Lyrics

Control (1986)

• You ought to be thankful for the little things
  But little things are all you seem to give
  You're always putting off what we can do today
  Soap opera says you've got one life to live
  Who's right, who's wrong?
  • What Have You Done for Me Lately

• I'm not a prude, I just want some respect (that's right)
  So close the door if you want me to respond
  Cause privacy is my middle name
  My last name is control
  No, my first name ain't baby
  It's Janet — Ms. Jackson, if you're nasty
  • Nasty

Rhythm Nation (1989)

• Seeing that your love's true.
  Never I'll doubt you.
  My heart belongs to you.
  That's alright with me.
  Worlds could end around me.
  So in love that I can't see.
  You and me were meant to be.
  That's alright with me.
  • Alright

janet. (1993)

• Like a moth to a flame
  Burned by the fire.
  My love is blind
  Can't you see my desire?
  • That's the Way Love Goes

The Velvet Rope (1997)

• I feel asleep late last night
  Cryin like a newborn child
  Holdin myself close
  Pretendin my arms are yours
  I want no one but you
  • I Get Lonely

All for You (2001)

• My love for you is unconditional love too
  Gotta get up, get out, get up, get out, get up
  And show you that it
  • Doesn't Really Matter

20 Y.O. (2006)

• I don't know if I've ever felt like this before
  But I'm sure that the way I feel, I don't want it to go
  'Cuz I've cried my share of tears
  And I've sang my share of blues
  But to keep you over here, I'll do what I got to do

Discipline (2008)

• So here's my demonstration
  A peep show
  Tonight my body's an exhibition baby
  Though it's on display don't be scared to
  Touch It, It said so
  So come and get it babe
