context: zh_tw: 在發行完《Dream Street》之後，珍妮決定將自己的演藝事業脫離她的家族。她後來評論道：「我只是想離開我的家庭，擺脫我父親的控制。而告訴我父親說我不想再和他一起工作了，正是我人生當中所做的最艱難的事情之一。(I just wanted to get out of the house, get out from under my father, which was one of the most difficult things that I had to do, telling him that I didn't want to work with him again.)」A&M 唱片公司的主管 John McClain 隨後僱傭了製作人 Jimmy Jam 與 Terry Lewis 與珍妮合作。經過 6 周的努力，他們完成了珍妮的第三張錄音室專輯《控制》珍妮回憶到，在她錄製這張專輯的時候，她在明尼阿波利斯的酒店外面被一群男人威脅，她描述當時的情形說：「當一群男人開始跟蹤我時，我覺得危險向我襲來。但是我並沒有退縮或者尋求 Jimmy 和 Terry 的保護，我鼓足了勇氣反抗，並讓他們退縮了。這也是我後來創作《Nasty》與《What Have You Done for Me Lately》這兩首歌的靈感所在，他們都出自於一種自我防衛的意識。」雖然 Jam 和 Lewis 也希望能吸引各族群的注意力以及視聽口味，但他們的首要目標仍然是將珍妮塑造成一個典型的美國黑人女歌手。Jam 評論這張專輯時說道：我們希望創作一張迎合每一個美國黑人家庭的唱片，這也是我們一直以來的目標。1986 年 2 月，專輯《控制》上市發行，獲得了爆炸性的成功，並在同年 7 月以單週 20 萬張的銷量在告示牌專輯榜中奪冠。《洛杉磯時報》的評論家 Connie Johnson 寫道：「雖然歌手仍然是一個青少年，但是卻有非常堅定、冷靜以及成熟的觀點。她清晰的剖析了當今青少年的青澀歲月，並用音樂的肌腱將他們串聯起來。」《新聞週刊》評論這張專輯時認為這張專輯” 結合了 Patti LaBelle 和惠妮・休斯頓（Whitney Houston）的傷感情歌和華麗編曲效果。“Rob Hoerburger 在《滾石雜誌》上評價《Control》這張專輯比黛安娜・羅絲（Diana Ross）近 5 年來的所有專輯都要出色，而且將珍妮形容為年輕的 Donna Summer。並斷言她將不會固步自封而會以自己的腳步不斷的超越。專輯中的五支單曲《What Have You Done for Me Lately》、《Nasty》、《When I Think of You》、《Control》和《Let's Wait Awhile》均打入了告示牌單曲榜前五名。而單曲《When I Think of You》也成為珍妮的第一支全美冠軍單曲。此外《The Pleasure Principle》也打入了 20 強，最高排名第十四位。專輯《Control》中的大多數音樂錄影帶都由當時尚名不見經傳的寶拉・阿巴杜（Paula Abdul）操刀。公告牌雜誌評論道：「（珍妮・傑克遜）的音樂錄音帶也給 MTV 電視臺帶來了巨大的影響，並使得這個原本只是一個普通的搖滾樂音樂頻道轉變成了時尚音樂的新指標。」《Control》在美國獲得了 RIAA 五白金的銷量認證，並在全世界創造了超過一千四百萬張的銷量記錄。而專輯在全美音樂獎上所創的十二項提名的記錄至今無人可破，並獲得四項大獎。專輯也獲得了葛萊美獎年度最佳專輯提名的肯定。
en: After her second album, Jackson terminated business affairs with her family, commenting "I just wanted to get out of the house, get out from under my father, which was one of the most difficult things that I had to do." Attempting a third album, Jackson teamed with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. They set out to achieve crossover pop appeal, while also creating a strong foundation within the urban market. Within six weeks, Jackson and the duo crafted her third studio album, Control, released in February 1986. The album shot to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and was certified fivefold platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling over ten million copies worldwide.Control was declared "remarkably nervy and mature" for a teenage act, also considered "an alternative to the sentimental balladry" which permeated radio, likening Jackson to Donna Summer's position of "unwilling to accept novelty status and taking her own steps to rise above it." The album spawned five top five singles, "What Have You Done for Me Lately", "Nasty", "When I Think of You", "Control", and "Let's Wait Awhile", and a top 15 hit with "The Pleasure Principle". "When I Think of You" became her first No. 1 hit on the Hot 100. Control received six Billboard Awards, including "Top Pop Singles Artist", and three Grammy nominations, most notably "Album of the Year". It also won four American Music Awards from twelve nominations, an unbroken record.At this point, Jackson was successfully "shaking off the experience of being a shadow Jackson child", becoming "an artist in her own right". The album's lyrical content included several themes of empowerment, inspired by an incident of sexual harassment, with Jackson recalling "the danger hit home when a couple of guys started stalking me on the street and instead of running to Jimmy or Terry for protection, I took a stand. I backed them down. That's how songs like 'Nasty' and 'What Have You Done for Me Lately' were born, out of a sense of self-defense."Its innovative fusion of dance-pop and industrial music with hip-hop and R&B undertones influenced the development of the new jack swing genre by bridging the gap between the latter two styles. The accompanying music videos shot for the album's singles became popular on MTV, and obtained a then-unknown Paula Abdul a recording contract for her choreography work with Jackson. Billboard stated "[Jackson's] accessible sound and spectacularly choreographed videos were irresistible to MTV, and helped the channel evolve from rock programming to a broader, beat-driven musical mix."

context: zh_tw: 1989 年 9 月，珍妮發行了她自己的第四張錄音室專輯《節奏國度》。雖然 A&M 唱片公司希望延續上一張專輯《Control》的風格，但是她本人卻堅持在新專輯中新增更多的現實資訊，用她的歌曲來表達自己對愛情和兩性關係的觀點。她說：“我並不幼稚，我知道一張專輯或者一首歌曲不能改變世界，我只希望我的音樂和我的舞蹈能夠吸引住觀眾的注意力，並保持足夠長的時間，讓他們能聽出歌詞中我想表達的東西。” 專輯的製作人 Jimmy Jam 在接受《波士頓環球報》採訪時說：“我們總有一臺電視機是開著的，通常都轉到 CNN 頻道... 我想專輯中現實題材的歌曲像《Rhythm Nation》、《State of the World》和《The Knowledge》的創作靈感都來源於此。《滾石雜誌》的 Vince Aletti 在文章中稱：“他觀察到珍妮・傑克遜所關注的議題已經從個人情感轉向了整個社會中所存在的問題：不公正、不文明、犯罪、毒品 —— 包羅永珍。” 這張告示牌專輯榜冠軍專輯最終獲得了美國六白金的銷量認證，在全球已售出了超過 1400 萬張。
en: Jackson released her fourth album, Rhythm Nation 1814, in September 1989. Although her record label desired a direct sequel to Control, Jackson chose to include a socially conscious theme among various musical styles. She stated, "I know an album or a song can't change the world. I just want my music and my dance to catch the audience's attention, and to hold it long enough for them to listen to the lyrics." The album's central theme of unity was developed in response to various crimes and tragedies reported in the media.Peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the album was certified sixfold platinum by the RIAA and sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Rolling Stone observed Jackson's artistic growth shifted from "personal freedom to more universal concerns—injustice, illiteracy, crime, drugs—without missing a beat." The album was also considered "the exclamation point on her career", consisting of a "diverse collection of songs flowing with the natural talent Jackson possesses", which effectively "expanded Janet's range in every conceivable direction", being "more credibly feminine, more crucially masculine, more viably adult, more believably childlike." With singles "Miss You Much", "Rhythm Nation", "Escapade", "Alright", "Come Back to Me", "Black Cat" and "Love Will Never Do (Without You)", it became the only album in history to produce number one hits in three separate calendar years, as well as the only album to achieve seven top five singles on the Hot 100.Famous for its choreography and warehouse setting, the "Rhythm Nation" video is considered one of the most iconic and popular in history, with Jackson's military ensemble also making her a fashion icon. The video for "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" is notable for being the first instance of Jackson's transition into sexual imagery and midriff-baring style, becoming her trademark. Rhythm Nation 1814 became the highest selling album of 1990, winning a record fifteen Billboard Awards. The long-form "Rhythm Nation" music video won a Grammy Award.Jackson's Rhythm Nation World Tour 1990 became the most successful debut tour in history and set a record for the fastest sell-out of Japan's Tokyo Dome. She established the "Rhythm Nation Scholarship," donating funds from the tour to various educational programs. As Jackson began her tour, she was acknowledged for the cultural impact of her music. Joel Selvin of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote "the 23-year-old has been making smash hit records for four years, becoming a fixture on MTV and a major role model to teenage girls across the country", and William Allen, then-executive vice president of the United Negro College Fund, told the Los Angeles Times, "Jackson is a role model for all young people to emulate and the message she has gotten to the young people of this country through the lyrics of 'Rhythm Nation 1814' is having positive effects."She also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of her impact on the recording industry and philanthropic endeavors. The massive success experienced by Jackson placed her in league with Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Tina Turner for her achievements and influence. Ebony magazine remarked: "No individual or group has impacted the world of entertainment as have Michael and Janet Jackson," arguing that despite many imitators, few could surpass Jackson's "stunning style and dexterity."With her recording contract under A&M Records fulfilled in 1991, she signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Virgin Records—estimated between thirty-two to fifty million dollars—making her the highest paid recording artist at the time. The recording contract also established her reputation as the "Queen of Pop." In 1992, Jackson provided guest vocals on Luther Vandross's "The Best Things in Life Are Free", becoming a top ten Billboard hit and reaching the top ten internationally.

en: Jackson began suffering from severe depression and anxiety, leading her to chronicle the experience in her sixth album, The Velvet Rope, released October 1997. Jackson returned with a dramatic change in image, boasting vibrant red hair, nasal piercings, and tattoos. The album is primarily centered on the idea that everyone has an intrinsic need to belong. Aside from encompassing lyrics relating to social issues such as same-sex relationships, homophobia and domestic violence, it also contains themes of sadomasochism and is considered far more sexually explicit in nature than her previous release, Janet.The record was hailed as "her most daring, elaborate and accomplished album" by The New York Times, while Billboard ranked it as "the best American album of the year and the most empowering of her last five." The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified triple platinum, selling over ten million worldwide.The lead single "Got 'til It's Gone" was released in August 1997, featuring guest vocals from folk singer Joni Mitchell and rapper Q-Tip. The song's music video, depicting a pre-Apartheid celebration, won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. "Together Again" became Jackson's eighth number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, placing her on par with Elton John, Diana Ross, and the Rolling Stones. It spent a record forty-six weeks on the Hot 100 and nineteen weeks on the United Kingdom's singles chart. It sold six million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time. "I Get Lonely" peaked at number three on the Hot 100, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. It was Jackson's eighteenth consecutive top ten hit, making her the only female artist to garner that achievement; and surpassed only by Elvis Presley and the Beatles.Several other singles were released, including "Go Deep" and the ballad "Every Time", which was controversial for the nudity displayed in its music video. The album fully established Jackson as a gay icon for its themes regarding homosexuality and protesting homophobia. "Together Again", a "post-Aids pop song", and "Free Xone", considered "a paean to homosexuality" and an "anti-homophobia track", were praised for their lyrical context, in addition to Jackson's lesbian reinterpretation of Rod Stewart's "Tonight's the Night".The Velvet Rope received an award for "Outstanding Music Album" at the 9th Annual GLAAD Media Awards and was honored by the National Black Lesbian and Gay Leadership Forum. A portion of the proceeds from "Together Again" were donated to the American Foundation for AIDS Research.Jackson embarked on The Velvet Rope Tour, traveling to Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. The tour received praise for its theatrics, choreography, and Jackson's vocal performance. It was likened to "the ambition and glamour of a Broadway musical", and exclaimed as "only fitting that the concert program credits her as the show's 'creator and director'."The tour's HBO special, The Velvet Rope: Live in Madison Square Garden, garnered more than fifteen million viewers. It surpassed the ratings of all four major networks among viewers subscribed to the channel. The concert won an Emmy Award from a total of four nominations. Jackson donated a portion of the tour's sales to America's Promise, an organization founded by Colin Powell to assist disenfranchised youth.As the tour concluded, Jackson lent guest vocals to several collaborations, including Shaggy's "Luv Me, Luv Me", used for the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back, as well as "Girlfriend/Boyfriend" with Teddy Riley's group Blackstreet, and "What's It Gonna Be?!" with Busta Rhymes. The latter two music videos are both among the most expensive music videos ever produced, with "What's It Gonna Be?!" becoming a number-one hit on the Billboard Hip-Hop Singles and Hot Rap Tracks charts, reaching the top three of the Hot 100.Jackson also contributed the ballad "God's Stepchild" to the Down in the Delta soundtrack. Jackson recorded a duet with Elton John titled "I Know the Truth," included on the soundtrack to Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida. At the 1999 World Music Awards, Jackson received the Legend Award for "outstanding contribution to the pop industry". Billboard ranked Jackson as the second most successful artist of the decade, behind Mariah Carey.
