  1. The estate does have the power to do something about this, but they've shown themselves to be kinda lazy about these things.
  2. ^^^ Same. The Damita Jo era had great wigs and makeup. She should rehire that glam team because Preston isn't up to par for the most part.
  3. I think Janet can do Japan with little worries. She has neglected that territory but she didn't cancel on them like she did Europe for the Unbreakable Tour. Didn't her Japan dates in 2015 do reasonably well?
  4. Dammn Baby's choreography was terrible IMO. The video was so underwhelming that I started to dislike the song after having seen it. I don't think that's ever happened to me before.
  5. I actually really enjoy Daybreak to this day. I think it and Take Care are my favourites off 20YO. I feel like it could have been Escapade's younger (less successful) sibling if it were released as a single.
  6. I don't understand the hype behind Would You Mind. Other than its instrumental, it is such a cringe worthy track along with its performance. It doesn't compare to Janet's other sexual/sensual tracks like Rope Burn, ATAP, Anything, SIT, or FHTF. The lyrics are extremely vulgar and I think that actually makes the song quite boring. It's much better when Janet sets up a scene with her sensual tracks. "I never even got to cum... did you?" is nowhere near as sexy to me as the ending of FHTF with Janet not knowing where the time went and telling someone to stop in between instrumental pauses. Leaving things to the imagination can be so much sexier tbh. Is being paired up with The Weeknd a good thing? ?
  7. I think that Janet might be "local" everywhere. It would explain why everyone has her name in their mouths. I love that her global influence is being confirmed with this reward.
  8. She looks great in these photos. I'd kinda like this makeup style back as opposed to what Preston does.
  9. The video and song are cute. I kinda wish the dance break lasted for longer though. I'm excited for the Fallon performance tonight... This could be great if she plays her cards right.
  10. I'd love for her to do "Anything", "Every Time" and a "Free Xone" breakdown. I was really hoping Free Xone would be added since she used it in one of the SOTW1 promos
  11. I really like the "Ask For More" Pepsi single. Some of the songs left on the Damita Jo cutting room floor like "What Can I Say" are cute.
  12. She looked really good. I'm happy she gave us some more deep cuts.
  13. !!! As if Janet didn't rush off to Brazil to check up on Joe after his heart attack in 2015. They just say anything.
  14. I can just imagine how great the quality of the DRM video will be. She needs to upload all those videos of hers in good quality (preferably not banned in major territories-- if she can control for that) on YouTube.
  15. Wasn't Pharrell going to be on the 20 YO album until JD or someone else scrapped his stuff and went in another direction? Pharrell and Janet should have done something ages ago (2000-08), but he's still popular and makes bops so I wouldn't be opposed to a track now. I think the main problem with Damita Jo, 20 YO and Discipline has less to do with the fact that she was working with different people, and more to do with her lack of input, inspiration and the amount of different people she worked with at once. If Janet decided to have JJ/TL, Babyface and, say, Pharrell produce Damita Jo, and she had something more interesting to talk about, I think we would have still gotten great stuff on par with her classics. I think a smaller team works well with Janet's artistic process. Well, J. Lo did a song with Cardi and performed it at the BB awards in May. I haven't heard it since and I don't think it's made a dent on the charts.
  16. I hope Janet got to say her final goodbyes. I've seen a lot of negative comments coming from Twitter and it's just unnecessary (especially when some are repeating false claims made by La Toya in the 90s). RIP. My sympathies extend to the family.
  17. I know everyone has a time to go, but this is quite sad. I hope Janet gets the time to say all her goodbyes.
  18. I really hope that the Mickey Mouse in Rhythm Nation statue is reinstated sometime after this.
  19. I did not expect to like Camp Kuchi Kaiai the way that I did. Those high notes were not it though...
  20. Let's hope this isn't the case. Britney isn't more popular than Bruno now, and she's already worked with Madonna. That should disqualify her (if this source is legit).
  21. I liked that she placed When We Ooo in Nasty for the fans at home. I'm angry that the camera moved away from Janet during the "If" breakdown, which was the most intense part of the performance's choreography. The "Throb" breakdown needed work as I didn't care for the air drumming. I really wish she gave us a 10 minute performance. It all went by so fast. She got the biggest honour, but had one of the shortest performances. Why did Christina and Demi's performance feel longer? Billboard should have given her more time tbh.
