built 678 days ago
On Monday, Janet Jackson and the halftime show received 60 times as many searches as the Paris Hilton sex tape and 80 times as many searches as Britney Spears. Jackson was searched 50 times for every request for the topic that normally dominates on the day after the game, Super Bowl commercials. She ... received 275 times as many searches as the streaker who ran on the field before the second half, and 350 times as many searches as Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady.

Since the infamous Janet Jackson breast-baring fiasco at the Super Bowl, Powell has railed nonstop against what he sees as a media obsession with sex and violence and the negative impact this has on youthful viewers and listeners. Unfortunately, his heavy-handed methods, in particular threatening stations with exorbitant fines and issuing public statements implying that the FCC might soon target soap operas and afternoon talk shows, reveal someone more interested in being a de facto censor than seriously addressing content and quality issues.

Like Janet, Jermaine was a child prodigy. At 14, he was already a successful performer/producer/writer. The acts he brought to prominence - Kris Kross, Da Brat, TLC, Usher, Mariah Carey, Bow Wow to name a few - have changed the course of pop music. Today he lords over Virgin's super-successful landscape of urban music and is among the most sought-after music minds in the world. He's considered the modern day Quincy Jones.

In September 1993, Jackson appeared topless on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. The magazine cover became one of the most celebrated photos ever taken of a rock artist, and Rolling Stone named it their ‘Most Popular Cover Ever’ in 2000. In a precursor of her Super Bowl controversy, Jackson was criticized for the explicitness of the photograph, but she shyly insisted that the male hands covering her breasts belonged to her husband.

Extra credit: Jackson caused a hubbub while performing in the halftime show of the 2004 Super Bowl, when her co-star Justin Timberlake pulled off a piece of Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast. A month after the Super Bowl incident, singing legend Lena Horne blocked Jackson from playing her in a planned TV movie.

By now everyone has heard about the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake "wardrobe malfunction" during the Superbowl. It's even the object of a FCC investigation, prompted by individuals who deemed the half-time show indecent.
