She ended up signing with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and took, well, control of her career by releasing"Control." It, of course, became a massive success. As all this was going on, Janet's relationship with her brother Michael started to"shift" as well.

"I remember seeing that change happen, I remember for me the moment that happened. We were very close, did everything together," she recalled."It was 'Thriller,' that's when it all started changing. I remember really loving the 'Thriller' album, but for the first time in my life, that's when I felt like it was different between the two of us."

"A shift was happening," she recalled, saying the two used to always talk for hours in her bedroom before the release of the 1982 record, which shot him to a new level of superstardom."This time, he came in my bedroom, neither one of us said a word to each other and then he got up and left. That's the time Mike and I started going our separate ways."Throughout her early solo career in the '80s, Janet would often be overshadowed and compared to her older brother.

"I'm thankful, I really am, because it's opened up a great deal of doors for me. Having that name," she replied."And at the same time, there's a great deal of scrutiny that comes with having that last name. I wanted my own identity. I didn't want people to pick up this body of music because of my last name."
