The Times' Wortham says, "It's the biggest indictment of our culture, the idea that a Black woman wouldn't be adorning herself just for herself, that she wouldn't want to be beautiful underneath what she was wearing just for her." (A white male pundit is also shown loudly exclaiming that folks don't gather to watch a football game to see "gangbang rappers grab their privates or Janet Jackson expose a breast," so the Black men onstage didn't entirely escape the racially charged outrage cycle, either.) Jackson returned to the spotlight on CBS' Late Show With David Letterman, with the host beginning by pointing to the top of her dress and saying, "Now that's almost malfunctioning, isn't it?" After a few more cracks and a bit of badgering in the name of comedy, Jackson insisted, "Dave, you're gonna make me relive this, I want to put all that behind me." Jackson's eighth studio album, Damita Jo, still sold more than 3 million copies, but that was considered lackluster in its non-streaming day, especially for her (not helped by MTV staying at arm's length and a diminished radio presence, which a Clear Channel executive insists was not by company-wide design, though he couldn't speak for local stations)
