Throwback Thursday: The Evolution of Janet Jackson
The only member of the Jackson family who isn’t bat-shit crazy turns 43 this Saturday, and we’ve decided to throw her a party two days early. See, J.J. was the frequent subject of our adolescent fantasies, and she’s held up shockingly well for over two decades. Even if she does carry Jermaine “the pint-sized producer” Dupri in her pocket these days, Janet will always be our girl.
While she’s probably throwing some elaborate guest-list only jam this weekend, we’re inviting all of you to join our Janet party by looking back at the evolution of Miss Jackson over the years. Oh, and JD isn’t invited…

I saw her at the four seasons in ny and there is no way she looks like that. the janet I saw was easily 30 lbs overweight. I mean,I love/lust her too but that pic is sooo air brushed way too much….
