  1. I hope she paces herself.. Love her so much. We're not worthy.
  2. Appreciate her frankness, hope she brings that to a new interview.
  3. Can't wait! Hope court goes smoothly for her though..
  4. It's obviously something about the tour, but I wonder if the announcement will be broader... The suspense will make this a long weekend.
  5. Hopefully given the name SOTW it's a more thematic show, and not just another stripped-down Greatest Hits concert. If that's the case, reports about her releasing new music (though I'm not sure about an album) would be great. And hopefully more promo than for "Unbreakable"
  6. As I said, it's relative -- on avg: 10 tweets/month at minimum. During eras there's heightened activity, then the average dipped below 10 tweets/month in Summer 2012 (Grannygate?) in 2013 and 2014 there was a huge dip, heightening upon May '15 (Unbreakable Era announcement) and tapering off to nada shortly after the era was paused. Janet became less active upon 2012, etc. with far longer periods of inactivity between tweets even compared to previous years in-between/preceeding eras. Don't know why that's a point of contention. This is a silly back and forth, no? Reminds me of the phrase, "There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics."
  7. Your profile pic is fitting.
  8. Nothing wrong with Vegas, but seems she's not headed that way. If Celine's a has-been with all her success, so is Janet.
  9. http://www.tweetstats.com/graphs/janetjackson Check it out. Granted, it's all relative -- Big dip in 13-15, big spike for duration of Unbreakable era, and a huge dip.. Don't know why you feel so differently.
  10. It was not "nearly nonexistent" before Unbreakable.. Prior to '13, she was more regularly tweeting to #janfam, after which it became even more inactive, with long stretches (many months even) in between tweets, moreso lately. Obviously the Unbreakable era saw her dial up the tweets/instagram,etc for promo -- Anyway, I don't see the point of arguing this, which is besides the point.
  11. She tweeted more regularly in the past
  12. Agree, though for Janet, her "openness" is graded on a scale, obviously. I remember her being more active on social media, for example, before marrying Wissam.
  13. People online already commenting about the baby's "light skin", just shows a lot of folks are deeply cynical with Janet, even in a moment of such joy.
  14. It's been said before, but if this is Janet without Wissam, I won't miss him.
  15. She's bestowing upon us a mere glimpse of our future ruler... We are not worthy.
  16. Damn. I hope it wasn't anything too serious -- but thinking it HAS to be. Sad and strange...
  17. Stubborn ass baby's keeping us all waiting. A diva like it's mother..
  18. This kind of mainstream media recognition of her legacy is rare, which is why I wish her "team" would capitalize on these career milestones/anniversaries more than they have. Regardless, the Queen's busy popping out an heir. . .
  19. Deep shit, I know.. Cryptic Janet is a riddle of epic proportions.
  20. I've recently been appreciating the janet. album. New Agenda feels timely considering recent events..
  21. <a href="http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/09/arts/music/janet-jackson-control-anniversary.html?smid=tw-nytimesarts&smtyp=cur&referer=">http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/09/arts/music/janet-jackson-control-anniversary.html?smid=tw-nytimesarts&smtyp=cur&referer=</a> (A bit of a read, but still nice to see the recognition.) The standard for planet-stopping artistic statements in pop music is now so high that you need a pilot’s license to compete with the Beyoncés, Kanyes and Kendricksof the world. But when Janet Jackson craved ascent, she didn’t go to flight school. She went to Flyte Tyme. That was the Minneapolis production company Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis operated and where the three came up with “Control,” Ms. Jackson’s third record and the first of their subtly strange, sonically complex thematic carnivals. The album turned 30 in February, peaked in popularity right about this time that year (hitting No. 1 in July) and still sounds today as much like 1986 as it does 2056. Some producers make hooks. These three made wedgies. It makes sense to admire “Control” as an album about independence. It’s a compelling tale of freedom in which Ms. Jackson liberates herself from the demands of suffocating men to make her own demands. She granted herself permission to define her sexiness. Even now, the excitement of “When I Think of You” is the sight of a cherubic Janet Jackson dance-walking across a soundstage in a silky, tricked-out jacket and bustier, matching pants, heels, that hoop earring with the key on it, and the mane of three lions. That was also the summer of Madonna’s “Open Your Heart”video, in which she seduced with just the bustier, some fishnets and a peep show. Despite, or more likely because of, all those clothes, Ms. Jackson’s dancing seemed all the freer. Continued at link. ..
