  1. Janette is a talented singer. As her brother was. Besides, do you know what happened with Michael Jackson’s ‘Neverland’? And I’ve also heard, she is rich. But I think even with the help of her talent, she couldn’t be richest than her brother.

  2. The sexual orientation thing a bit sus, maybe whoever made this article still probably hasn’t listen to tonight’s the night. Then when they do, they could probably come back and change that answer. 🙂
