All For You is full of whispers. She even admitted she had a sinus cold while recording several songs, and you can hear it. She actually sings in full voice on Unbreakable. “Gon Be Alright” alone is vocally better than anything on All For You.

Unbreakable is the better album. It’s vocally better, lyrically stronger, and she covered much more ground lyrically and sonically. That album genre-hopped while still being cohesive. Something janet. tried to achieve.

Well, someone has to. Janet refuses to talk or give her own self credit for what she does. Her modesty is why a lot of people don’t give her credit for writing and producing her own music. It almost always goes to Jimmy and Terry.

I just had a thought. Maybe she IS a filmmaker now because she filmed the soon-to-be-released documentary already.

Madonna has a new album coming out this year. Janet has tour dates and festivals coming up, but y’all know she won’t promote. Come on now.

She isn’t, but she is perceived as one by the media for whatever reason.

Janet’s not a filmmaker, so I doubt it. Most likely Madonna. Times like this is when that Being T documentary would’ve been beneficial to her resume.

Co-headliner. Janet did one night, Florence and the Machine did the other. The fact that the whole festival was canceled proves it wasn’t because of Janet because this crowd is definitely Florence and the Machine’s demo, so the fact that sales were still low speaks volumes. You wouldn’t cancel two nights and dozens of other artists performing because of one artist. There are tons of festivals this summer. More than usual. So low sales combined with over saturation sounds valid.

20 YO was a reaction to the underperformance of Damita Jo. Discipline was a reaction to Janet wanting to escape Virgin after 20 YO and start fresh with a new label. These were reactionary albums, not albums she made because she wanted to make them. That’s why they failed. Virgin wanted JD because of the success he was having with Usher and Mariah. But JD did not fit Janet’s style at all. If Damita Jo would’ve been more successful, I guarantee neither 20 YO or Discipline would’ve happened.

As many shopping outings as she does, one would think she would have a more extensive wardrobe.

No. The late-80’s and 90’s dancers matter. They were able to execute some of the most difficult choreography that can be given to a dancer. These new dancers lack so much of their technical and expressive skills.

She really thinks we’ve cared about any of her dancers beyond the 90’s.

Good review. Ended Consequence of Sound.

That AMA performance was not a tribute. It was promo for Number Ones.

He’s the only one, aside from Janet, that would actually make these interviews interesting. Actually Janet said she was contractually obligated not to speak about their relationship, per Rene’s request. She’s just extremely private, so the deal was just fine for her. So really she could be sued if she talked about him.

You and I both know she is not doing any festivals or promo for that matter. I agree that it’s a good idea as well, but we all know it won’t happen.

She needs new music before she goes overseas. Considering how she’s doing in North America, I foresee her doing much worse internationally. There’s no buzz for her at the moment and she needs to create anticipation. At the very least, she needs to release a new single.

#InductMrWonder So you track my online movements? Funny, I don’t even know who you are, yet somehow, you know me. And you call ME the shadow?

I am not Mr. Wonder. We do not share the same perspectives or opinions on everything. No, 80% is not a sell out to me. 100%is, and Janet hasn’t achieved that.

But no shows have sold out.

Austin is the fourth biggest city in Texas and the capital of Texas. How is it random? And Vegas wasn’t gonna be a sellout even before the mass shooting. Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world. That show should’ve sold out as soon as tickets were put on sale. It’s not even a big arena she played. Not being able to sell 8,000 tickets in Vegas after tickets were on sale for 5 months is terrible and embarrassing for an artist of her stature.

What about Austin’s gross then? Was that a random city as well? Or the other major cities like Las Vegas she couldn’t even sell out?

Not surprising given how extravagant and big budget the video looked.
