its sounds contrite as hell
and desperate we always have to assign a "title" to a female in the game, queen of Pop, queen of soul, queen of hip hop soul...........it's too much, its not needed, does Janet require a title in order for the work she's done to be great? Also does Janet ever call herself by any of these "titles" or does she even allow others to do so ? she doesn't have a title nor does she care 
to as evidenced by the fact she doesn't embrace that shit
Well, she would DESERVE it. And let's be honest, a lot of stan-groups gave titles to their favorite artists, and some of those titles really became a thing and are used by more and more people everyday.
I think it would be truly great to give Janet a title (even though she probably wouldn't care). Let's show the ignorant folks that Janet's impact and legacy is massive and that that goes along with a much deserved title.

It sounds good but naw...Janet fans can do the most as well and even drag Janet
I'm still trying to figure out how 'Empress of Pop' took off...please let that go!
I like Empress Of Pop and a lot of fans are using it. Look at the hashtag on Instagram: most of the posts are about Janet so yeah.
It's a good title.

I wish Janet would do something new. She should release a lullaby album for babies and kids. And I wish she would lend her voice to some major DJ with whom they could release a worldwide hit which would appeal to the younger audience too.
They should've released 'HeartBeat Love' with Pitbull in 2010. THAT would've been a hit!

I guess we're getting that Bruno Mars duet for the next album, and he's doing well on the charts. So I can totally see a worldwide success with that song (if it's planned to be a single).

And that's what i've said years ago although some naive fans don't wanna admit to it. Janet is sometimes the sole reason for her setbacks.
Omg! is there a receipt for this? Mariah has never really been good at selling tickets but what made her think she could do a 17,000 seat venue?
There's no officials numbers released, but I guessed it was like 4,000 people. Then I read that someone asked the crew about the sales and this person told him about 3,000 tickets were sold.
It was at the same venue Janet was supposed to play in 2016. At the time when it was just postponed i asked whether the postponement had anything to do with poor sales, but both the venue as our local Ticketmaster told me the postponement had nothing to do with sales. In fact, they told me the sales were pretty decent.

There definitely needs to be more promotion! During the Unbreakable Tour there wasn't enough promo and some of the venues weren't selling that well. But I still think that in addition to lots of promo here in Europe she also needs new hit music! Otherwise she will be regarded just as a nostalgic artist... we need something new and fresh from her.
I think her name alone and a new album is enough promo. She might need to do some televised interviews though.
For instance, Mariah Carey performed in a 17,000 seat-venue last night in Europe in support of her last album. She did no big promo, and the singles did nothing on the charts. She only sold about 3,000 tickets and had to change the whole seating-plan to make it look like it had great attendance.
Janet could easily play in some smaller venues here and there to avoid low ticket sales. Festivals are nice, but I assume that's just a one-time thing this Summer.
-
What she needs to do is release the album and then tour worldwide in promotion of the album. With Unbreakable, Janet was supposed to play in pretty big venues over here. Some were selling, some weren't.
She could scale down to smaller venues (5,000 - 12,000 seats) here and there. The reason she never took SOTW to Europe was simply because there was nothing new to promote (except for maybe Made For Now). Asia is J's 2nd biggest market so those tickets pretty much sell themselves.
Once JJ12 is out there will be promotion for a worldwide tour. Mark these words.

I hoped she would perform at the North Sea Jazz in Rotterdam... I contacted the organization and they told me there was contact between them and Janets team.
However, these two festivals are Janets way of showing us her love. It's the start of re-establishing her relationship with the European fans. Next year, when the new album is out, she will definitely go on a new world tour (incl. Europe), so she needs this promotion.

Hmmmm I’m intrigued! Both videos have some of Janet’s most intricate and iconic choreography, why DRM if you don’t mind me asking???
Both choreo's are really good. I learned both and gotta say: DRM was harder to learn. Maybe because of the little flooreography that's in it. It's pretty much a tie 2 be honest.

Better song: All For You
Better music video: All For You
Better choreography: Doesn't Really Matter
Better wardrobe: All For You
Better dancers: Doesn't Really Matter
Better smile: both videos

Then you need to talk to Janet cuz it's not in the booklet.
The lyric not being present in the booklet doesn't mean she doesn't say it
.
there are more missing words in booklets that definitely can be heard on CD.

Nope!!! Barbara Streisand still holds the title for 6 decades in a row. Janet would be only second to her and third overall after her and Springsteen I think.
Still hoping for a new Janet album before the end of this decade, give us at least 2 per decade per usual.
Huh? She had #1 studio albums in the US in 6 decades?

Honestly, I’m not even sure if there’s an album happening anymore!!! (Are you happy now Dayz!
) Since “Made For Now”, Janet has become all but silent on the new music front. With everything going on with her R&RHOF induction and massive production residency in Vegas, she’d use all this promo and publicity to release new material but she isn’t....at the moment. I seriously wonder what is going on since the EP was suppose to be released last fall but was scrapped. What exactly is Janet and her team’s future plans at this moment??? No clue! But her lips are sealed so tight compared to how much she was looking forward to new music during her M4N radio promo.
I think she pushed back the album when she was made the offer to perform in Vegas. It's still coming. I think there is going to be a special Rhythm Nation 30th anniversary release in September, and the album early 2020 + world tour.

Yeah that was a bit messy. I don't see her chance the 2nd leg's setlist. Maybe outfits here and there though.

Janet is not playing any new music during the residency nor is she releasing something anytime that soon. The setlist can be found in the tourbook. Apparently she is gonna perform 'Love 2 Love'. Or did i miss that song last weekend?
New music will be played on her next world tour.

There were these 'throwback' hours were they would play MJ, Madonna, Mariah, Whitney. Like everyone, except Janet.

They're so full of sh**.
Never have i EVER seen a Janet Jackson music video on MTV / VH1 eversince, let's say 2009 (when I was 13 years old).

So 14 dancers! 7 male, 7 female.
Has she ever had that many dancers on tour before?

I know that and she doesn't NEED a title. That's not the point. I think it's great that when people think of Janet Jackson, they don't think of "Michael Jacksons sister" or any of that stuff. Older generations know Janets impact, but people tend to forget and tend to down-play her achievements. So, just leaning on the name Janet Jackson is great for us fans, but giving her an (unofficial) big title wouldn't hurt.
