Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 68.2/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.1/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 25.3.

Sadly, Janet remains severely underrated. Her back catalog rivals just about anybody's. Billboard ranks Janet as the 7th best Hot 100 artist of all time - even ahead of her big brother.
"Unbreakable" just debuted at #1, her seventh #1 album. And it's the fourth consecutive DECADE she's had a #1 album. That's extremely impressive.
Great artist and entertainer. She was the first female who showed true choreography in music video. I love her

This lady can sing, maybe not as well respected as her brother was but she comes a close second in this famous family. Her best album is Janet from 1993 The Velvet Rope is also worth a listen, as is Control. I find that The Rhythm Nation album although considered her best while it is a good album it is in my opinion her 4th best album. I do hope after the death of her brother she releases her new rumoured album in 2015.

I'll probably be banished from the internet just for saying this, but here we go: Michael may have the single best album (and by that I mean Off the wall, not Thriller), but if we're talking about overall discography, Janet Jackson's is stronger than her brother's.

As talented as her brother when it comes to videos. As for her music - she had a funkier edge, but way less hooks.
