Janet Jackson.

Joe Jackson apology tour out in full force. They let all the physical and emotional abuse go. It's all ok because their father loved them. Terrible message.

I just finished part 1-2 and I'm enjoying how open Janet is about sharing her life story with us. I'm glad she is being so candid because her story is relatable. I even got emotional as she discussed how her first marriage ended. Moreover, she addresses all the questions I ever had about her in this documentary. You rock Janet!

This is a nice and very informative documentary that I saw in one episode. We see an amazing number of Janet's family and friends being interviewed. Which I guess indicates she had a heavy say in the making of this very complimentary biography piece. However, she does have a real talent, she is very smart and level-headed, and you have to admire her courage and persistence in breaking away from her brother Michael's shadow, and becoming a huge success in her own right. She comes across as a nice person, and very soft spoken and quite shy, which is a welcome change from the cliche of the loud, extrovert rock star. And she's fortunate in having an amazing number of close supporters. Her friends and family do genuinely love and respect her. She's not at all the cliche wasted, bedraggled has-been rock star. It must be said however, that she is incredibly rich, so any claims of hardship have to be put in perspective.

So full disclosure I'm a huge fan so she can do no wrong by me. I really hope this doco brings to lights how interesting and resilient this woman is. One thing I love about Janet is the fact that she flies under the radar at times and marches to her own drum and you see it here. I wish there were some more meat for fans to sink their teeth into.

You get a sense of struggle she has gone through and how she keeps her sweet nature.

We tend to forget the artist that are around today wouldn't be here if it wasn't for likes of Janet and Madonna. What makes the two wildly different is Janet never sold her sexuality. She let her lyrics and melodies do the work. You see the growth from her being a baby to a mother and an icon. Loved it. Wish it was even longer.

Comprehensive? Yes, the career highlights are covered. Revealing? Just a little more than expected as she remains a cipher by design. There's some cool archival footage like the Rhythm Nation recording session where she reveals a short fuse with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. My takeaway from the four hours of this documentary is that the men in her life really disappointed her, and somehow she managed to avoid being bitter. For that, she deserves a lifetime achievement award.
