Did NARAS, the Grammy Awards overseers, snub Janet Jackson during Beyonce‘s tribute to black female R&B legends? A writer for several national publications seems to think so.
In an email to Sandrarose.com, the writer pointed out the glaring omission of Janet’s picture when Beyonce mentioned her name. “They showed all the pictures of everyone she mentioned, except when she mentioned Janet, they stayed on the picture of Gladys Knight. It was shady. Look at the replay,” he wrote.
I totally agree. It seems Janet has been blacklisted throughout the music industry since her wardrobe malfunction during the 2004 Super Bowl. The blacklisting has affected Janet’s record sales and popularity – though Jackson herself denies this.
All the more reason why Janet had better bring it when her album “Discipline” drops Feb. 26th.
In the meantime, Janet doesn’t blame the backlash from the super bowl incident for her faltering record career. She tells Fox 411‘s Roger Friedman, “I think it was the music. The albums weren’t right.”
