let that dragging "rock on"   JT is catching hell.  Of course Janet could care less to be bothered.

I dont think the debate is dvd, it's seeing the tour cleaned up, audio on point, visuals clear and properly edited. Stream, DVD, projection screen, a damn Vintage 1980s 3D VIEW MASTER 

ummm I hope not  she used the whimsical until it was dead on arrival, that didn't stop us from getting the VR and AFY tours. My favorite whimsical was the VR one though

Looking forward to it. It could be a great time to reveal "the New Janet"/BD. But then you never know, it might just be about something personal she doesn't want to comment further on. I wish I were rich so I could purchase some of the stuff

Here you can see some more pics of the items.

The Oprah earrings are a shade for sure. I believe in her previous marriage she had access to much more valuabe items, so I don't think it's all about money. She even had her own diamond collection! 

man talk about cleaning out your closet

She's doing this on her 55th birthday weekend. I don't think that's a coincidence.

This would be a good way to get some publicity for a new project. I think she's doing this for herself tough, to leave it all behind. 

I noticed that too, the schedule is over a three day period, and the final day is her birthday, and yes, depending on what she puts up, the publicity could be big

fuck him

The Oprah earrings are so damn shady to me 

deuces boo    Oprah know she won't sit  down with another Jackson, that was the gamble she made 

it makes sense if you want to simplify your life, letting go of things you no longer need or serve any purpose to you can be freeing. It costs money to keep things stored away and well kept, she's clearly in a different space in her life.

I don’t think anybody’s saying that it isn’t a problem and she should be doing more. And I know that Mariah knows how to promote herself as she learned/was married to the best. And, based on Mariah’s book, she’s hella insecure which doesn’t surprise me that she’s using smart tactics to keep her name out there. Doesn’t mean Janet can’t do more and it doesn’t mean others weren’t in here throwing shade for comparison. The two are not mutually exclusive. I’m not naive to her standing and know that Gen Z and soon to be Generation Alpha don’t know her like they should. And I don’t think she has a misguided perception. I think she knows and doesn’t care. I’m going to give her more credit on her knowledge even if she just discovered Hot Cheetos a few years ago. It’s on her to care because as far as I’m concerned I know I’ve done my part in trying to keep her legacy alive with starting petitions back in 2006 because I was worried about her blacklisting and erasure THEN, playing her music to the people that know me, and putting money every month to keep this not very active forum running and spending thousands when she’s on tour. She has to care more than all of us. Hell, I’d like it if she did care as it would drive more activity to this forum and justify the price I pay. I’m just not as bothered about it as I used to be.  

That's where I am, some of us, have been fans for a really long time, so I can speak for myself, and truth is, I've had the fortune of enjoying most of Janet's successes, and now it feels like the energy she used to feed off of us at shows is the energy we also require, we don't have that from her now. I also mention, often, she is a mother now, and that changes so much in her world, at this point in her career I'm not sure fans are her priority not nearly as much as her personal affairs. It is what it is. I'm not bothered because I dont expect anything from her, if a project comes along great, I'm a diehard for life, love the woman, and if she's doing her thing, as it appears, I wish her nothing but the absolute best. 

"American Gods" returns, third season is starting out pretty damn good, they got back to being more like season 1, and ignoring season 2, which was a disaster

I just hope Janet is doing everything because she honestly wants to and not to simply pacify the fans.

I think she's way pass pacifying anyone, because we don't have her videos on Youtube completed and that should be an easy task.

Honestly, the same people that want to album to drop now will be the biggest complainers when the album doesn't chart well enough. I would like to hear the album as soon as possible, but it should be set where it can meet the most potential, and that might mean waiting until everything clears out.

I can wait,  I'm concerned about Janet's enthusiasm

Her music ain’t for me. I was forced to listen to one of her songs when I was trying to watch TV as she made some deal with the network. Didn’t like it. Beautiful gowns. 

I actually cackled at that

100% agreed! I was thinking about all of this only a few days ago. I made a personal video about Janet not having all her videos (available) on YouTube, and some of the Janet Team saw it, but I doubt if they're going to act. It's so important though, and i wonder whats the issue. 

If you're talking to her "team" I would say Jimmy is the best bet, he listens and he has her ear. I'm not saying Jimmy will respond, but he's accessible enough to get the message.  I think he does Twitter enough to go there.

the videos, especially coming from a solid visual artist is a no brainer, that should absolutely be done ASAP. I'm trying to figure out why the RN short film wasn't given the HD treatment, "The Knowledge" knocks! I wonder where the heck the stomps, claps, and the hos from the intro to RN went on the clean up? The certifications, not sure how much they cost, but she can do better overall. 

The Mariah comparisons yep. Mariah loves the spotlight. They should clean up her video collection because as rightly stated, her videos are these visual extravaganzas, very well put together and enjoyable to watch.

There’s no reason for her certifications to be the way they are. The logical hoops yall jump through to justify her mess. Please

I spot some truths   

It would be great that Janet's numbers were accurate, it would, I noticed recently her net worth has been updated to 190 million. As a hard core fan for decades now, it sucks, it sucks that she's not more celebrated and respected, it sucks that she's not a chart topper anymore, and it sucks that her legacy doesn't shine as bright as it deserves. I don't think we will see the 90's again, when everything was better than it is now.

Do u guys think 2021 will be the year of Black Diamond? (With the tour POSSIBLY in the Fall or otherwise 2022?)

depends on the safety and rollout of a vaccine. Right now we are ALL in a wait and see stage. What we know so far is this, there's a few vaccines, only a select few have gotten them. We don't know if those vaccines will be effective across the board. We do know that not every country has the resources nor effective plans in place (USA  ) Its really a wait and see game at this point, the rest would just be speculation.

Smh @ losing money. It doesn’t cost that much and there’s no excuse.

 

This and her other inactions are why she’s fading

let's try to look at what she can do to engage her fans, and thats if she wants to. Let's say her sales were recertified, is that going to do much for her status as a private person in the entertainment world?
