I get it. Janet's work on The Velvet Rope pushed pop boundaries, so I understand Amaarae's point.

Calling Janet the real King of Pop overlooks Michael's enormous influence and global record sales from his groundbreaking hits.

Absolutely, Michael set a high bar with record-breaking hits. I'm curious how Janet's Velvet Rope era measures up.

I get the respect for Janet, but comparing her to Michael feels like mixing apples and oranges when it comes to impact.
