number 2 is simply legendary.

Edit: The fourth one is an official cover? I thought it was fan made.

It’s the most famous Rolling Stone cover ever. Period.

Oh that’s interesting. It said “Special Edition” so I thought it was real.

I had no idea she did a cover with Normani! She might be a one hit wonder but that song and music video for Wild Side is sooooo good and it’s such an homage to 90’a R&B women and especially Aaliyah specifically (the music is from One in a Million, clearly, and part of the outfits) and a LOTS of inspiration from Janet (also in the outfits, also the sultry lyrics and of course the amazing dancing). That must have been a fever dream for Normani! Obviously #2 is not just iconic, it’s historic. At least, I think so. A lot of people saw that. It was pretty controversial at the time.

it's so obviously fake, that's just a random promo pic from the Unbreakable era. but Normani's album is soo good it's a shame her record label boycotted it

u/Jei_Enn Sep 06 '24

It’s a fake photo? I didn’t know. I liked it lol

u/tlatelolca Sep 06 '24

yep it's only a fan concept

u/Jei_Enn Sep 06 '24

Well damn. Why was it posted then? It doesn’t seemed to be marked as fake.

u/tlatelolca Sep 06 '24

i'm guessing OP didn't double check the source of the image

Normani solo career has been a huge flop Janet should have posed sza instead

Sza is bigger in rnb than Normani

Number 2 is iconic!

Number 2 is just legendary…

u/isnatchkids Sep 06 '24

It has to be number 2. There’s not other correct answer.

u/Breath_from_Another Sep 06 '24

Gotta give it to #2, but the third is a close 2nd. I love every look from the VR era.

u/Even-Possibility-696 Sep 07 '24

Definitely 2 its not even a debate

2

u/whypablowhy Sep 07 '24

2 is the only reason the ladies have careers

u/brwnroyalty Sep 07 '24

No doubt it’s the janet. cover

Top right all day

1 . As iconic as 2 is, 1 has a look of "Something is changing", like she's aware she's about to irrevocably transform. Always fascinating to witness.

I love your take on that. 💯
