With the help of Jack Gordon with underworld background, she gradually moved away from her family economically and personally.

Janet Damita joe jackson
-
Janet Damita joe jackson was born in May 1966, the youngest child in the family.
Although she grew up in the most famous pop music family in America, her initial wish was only to become an actress. Janet dreamed of becoming a jockey when she was a child. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to the law department of a university. But in the end, under the strong opposition of his father Joseph, he gave up college and participated in several TV soap operas.
However, Janet's talent was proved in a series of musicals shot by Jackson in the mid-1970s, and she got a role in the TV series Good Times. After that, she continued to shoot "Different Efforts and Fame".
Until 1982, A &；; M Records signed a contract with Janet and released her debut album "janet jackson", one of which "Say Yes" became a hit song. 1984, Janet married singer James Debac and eloped with her because of family obstruction. Soon after, she and her new husband returned to her parents' home, Hewenhurst Manor. The marriage ended in less than a year. Musically, the second album "Dream Street" was released, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Then, Janet's music career took a turning point, which was her first milestone-the release of the album Control. This album became 1986' s most exciting music work, and sold120,000 copies worldwide, among which five singles entered the top 10 of the Billboard charts, which made Janet, 20, escape from the giant aura of her brother Michael Jackson and become one of the most popular female singers. People also realize that Janet is trying to become a new woman with independent personality. She and Jimmy Jam&; Terry Lewis (who later became Janet's long-term royal producer) cooperated for the first time, which showed her powerful attempt in the quality of music production. Sure enough, Janet's efforts made her first single "What have you done for me recently? "Successfully entered the third place in Billboard Hot 100 singles list and became Janet's first hit song, and this music video also established Janet's first impression-sweet smile and sharp dance. When "When I Think of You" won Janet's first number one song, she was no longer just the little sister of the Jackson family, but a best-selling female artist who could stand alone and show her edge.
1987 Janet fired her father Joseph as her manager.
From September 1988 to May 1989, she recorded her fourth album, Rhythm Country-1814. In this album, Janet's interpretation is more mature and self-surpassing. Her eyes are on the wider world and many disturbing social problems in reality, such as Rhythm Nation-1814. Once released, Janet quickly entered the first place in the national pop list, consolidating her position in the eyes of fans. Seven singles after Miss You unexpectedly broke into Top5, including four number one singles such as Escape and Black Cat, which made Janet stay on the singles list for two consecutive years. The sales of 8 million copies in the United States also brought Janet 9 Billboard Music Awards and 5 American Music Awards, including "Best Selling Pop Album of the Year". It is important that her music awards span pop, R&; B and dance music. Janet, who has made many breakthroughs in the shooting of music videos, was also awarded the "pioneer of music videos" in the MTV Music Video Award of 1990. Even though female singers in paula abdul are constantly emerging at the same time, only Janet has not lost her beauty. Love Never Ends (Without You), the last single selected from the country of rhythm-18 14, represents the turning point of Janet's image. Janet used to be unable to get rid of her "plump" appearance, so she often only showed people in a tight-fitting black dress. This time, in the music video with the famous photographer Herb Ritts, Janet unexpectedly wore a thin shirt to show off her slim figure, which made people marvel at Janet's sexy and charming side. This music video not only helped Janet win the MTV Music Video Award for Best Female Singer of the Year, but also cleverly shaped Janet's sexy image. Since then, Janet has been promoted from a shy girl next door to a new generation of sexy goddess.
1993, Janet, who broke through Virgin Records and signed a contract of 80 million dollars, released an album named Janet with her own name, which made her show a great success in the music world, from the dance music of the last album to the ethereal and emotional singing, which was equally heartbreaking. In the same year, the film "Poetic Justice" starring Janet and rapper 2Pac was released and received favorable comments. 1995, the selected series Design for Ten Years was released. And her wonderful chorus in her brother Michael's new song "Scream" also makes fans have high hopes for her future.
1997 The Velvet Rope became an important watershed in Janet's music career. Janet seems to have fallen into the myth of the surname "Jackson" and resolutely took off her surname, only appearing in the title of the new work "Willeft Rope" with the name "Janet"; Janet's album cover photo is also deliberately not positive, which symbolizes that this album will be her most personal work, focusing on the essence of music. It is an album that is almost conceptual and has a deep tunnel artistic conception. Unfortunately, although Janet carefully sampled the "Yellow Taxi" of her childhood idol Joni Mitchell in the hip-hop single "Got 'Til It's Gone", she also invited Chinese violinist Chen Mei to help out in the album. The Velvet Rope is just like its title: this is a gorgeous "adventure" of Janet. The external evaluation is also mixed. Some magazines, such as Spin, listed it as the best album of the year, but some old-fashioned Rolling Stone magazines shook their heads and denied it. Velvet Rope has become Janet's album with the worst commercial performance ever. Fortunately, the single "Together" with a positive theme gradually won the championship, and the subsequent "Gorgeous Adventure Journey" also made great gains, so that Janet would not fall from the throne of pop diva, but her courage to break through herself could make the music industry admire more and more.
After a period of dormancy, Janet returned to the film industry in 2000 and performed "Crazy Professor" with eddie murphy. Janet's theme song "It really doesn't matter" for the film has returned to the joy and pop color of Janet's early songs, won the first place in the singles list for Janet again, and also predicted Janet's determination to defend her status as a diva. Before coming to 200 1, I have to face the challenge of a new generation of divas such as Britney Jean Spears or Christina Aguilera, and then I have to downplay the negative news of "marriage and divorce" that day, and get rid of my ex-husband Rene Elizondo (songwriter and MV director, Janet's second husband,1met Janet in 1985,1got married secretly in San Diego in 1993, 1993 formal divorce Although she was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, Janet adjusted herself to the best state and finally released a brand-new single "All For You" confidently, with a disco flavor popular in the 1980s. Unsurprisingly, the success of the new single revived Janet's title. In the first week alone, she landed on the singles list with a score of 14, which set a new record for the charts. After only five weeks' climbing, she jumped to 1, which made Janet sit on the No.1 10 Billboard single list with considerable commemorative value and won her the 44th Grammy.
Until 2003, Janet created brilliant records with 265,438+0 years of music career, 5 Zhang Guanjun albums, 65,438+00 number one singles, 26 TOP 10 singles and 5 Grammys. In 2004, Janet released her new album Damita Jo, but her "exposure storm" during the Super Bowl performance of Major League Baseball caused great controversy in the United States.

Toriano II (abbreviated as Taj) was born in1August 4, 973;
Tarriel, born on August 8, 1975 at/kloc-0;
Ti Tuo Jr. (T.J. for short) was born in July 1978+06.
They are the children of Tito Jackson and Dolores Martes. 3T released their first single "If You Are the One in the Jackson Family-An American Dream" on 1993. Later, I played "I never meant to hurt you" and "What will happen" in the soundtrack of Free and Wily 1 and 2 episodes respectively.
1995, the three of them released their first album "Brothers" under MJJ music. These include "Why" and "I need you" with Michael. 1at the beginning of 997, 3T toured Europe. Although they kept saying that they would release a new album that year, due to the contradiction between Sony and their uncle Michael, they have not released an album until today. In 2002, their contract with Sony Music expired. Maybe they will open a new chapter in their music career after many years of "snow hiding".
