Janet gets a lot of shit for her vocalsโฆ but Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were always able to engineer some gorgeous (highly compressed) harmonies for her.
Her backing vocals on this song, for example, are just gorgeous and became her signature sound:

One of the main reasons MJ and Prince are my two favourite singers is because of the complexity and beauty of their harmonies.
When MJ stacked his vocals up together it just sounded gorgeous. Listen to the backing harmonies on Blood On The Dancefloor for example, or the chorus to WYWTOM. How about Leave Me Alone, Time Waits For No One, Liberian Girl... so many great harmonies in his catalogue. Even the chorus to Beat It is actually gorgeous, despite it being a gritty rock song. Smooth Criminal chorus... YRMW is borderline barbershop quartet... so many songs come to mind.
And Prince also, even the very first song on his debut album when he was just 18yrs old was an incredible masterclass in harmonic excellence (For You). Or take a listen to the layers of cascading harmonies on Sweet Baby from his 1992 Symbol album. Love... Thy Will B Done is another great example, but there are so many. His harmony arrangements were second to none.
