So for the past few days i've been watching uploaded clips of the tour on youtube and in it you'll see a lot of the things she did is used in The Velvet Rope tour with minor readjustments. I'll give you this clip of "This Time" for example. You'll see that the dancers are wearing some of the same outfits with masks that will later be used for her "You" performance on TVR tour. Of course we can tell it was lip synced but its whatever. Then you'll see the lady and her husband fighting which of course is the same drama that is used for "What About?".

 

You can say the same thing about Number Ones Tour/Rock Witchu and Unbreakable/State of the World tho?

Since CDs & Cassette Tapes are barely a thing, what do you feel is most relevant in the streaming era? B-Side, Hidden Track, Unreleased, or Bonus Track?

Hmm sounds cute

State of the World Tour first leg wins, no contest

She has the connects to record a music video. She can do a virtual interview anywhere or host an online listening party for fans so I really don't understand the hold up. As long as the album is #1 is the rest really a big deal?

I'm gucci with the album debuting at #1 and a #1 single on the hot 100

The news showed that Trump did better in every demographic, including black men, black women, latinas, latinos, white women, white men... everyone. There's a reason it took 5 days lol

And no, I'm nowhere near a Trump supporter, I'm just saying what the news showed

Eh.... if he had people of color vote so much then he wouldn't of lost.

It took 5 days because more people who usually don't vote, finally decided to get off their ass this year to get rid of him. Also due to the pandemic, more people than usual did mail in voting, which takes longer to count.

just my belief and I know its an unpopular opinion, but there are many things that were done under Trump's administration that were in alignment with end time scriptures. Wake up all.

we say this every election though

Blow The Whistle

Can't Hold us

Never Leave You

One Dance

The Next Episode

Don't know what the indian sounding track is, it might just be a continuation of Macklemore

Discipline is definitely the better for the Trilogy and you all will deal

Oh please. I have many friends that live in the US (some of which happened to be Trump supporters), and over here we see and hear what's going on in your country. Just because I don't physically live there doesn't mean I can't share my opinion. I've followed US politics for a very long time, and I've followed all candidates for a long time. My friends overseas tell me what happens, and some are happy with it and some aren't. Looking at recent numbers, it shows that support for Trump from minorities (latinos, Afro-Americans) even has increased.

 

Also, I stick to my first statement regarding the fake news.

Kanye west doesnt speak for us chile lol

it is ridiculous and dangerous to see racism and slavery,  everywhere, all the time. Slave for you is just erotic, not political song. 

We don't need it we have Discipline. If you need more there's also Rihanna's S&M

2 B Loved is not good so Velvet Rope wins

I've never heard anyone say "Ooh, Janet is going on tour, let me buy her album." The tour is being used as an excuse not to do anything. If they strategically timed it out so it was released during a slow week combined with releasing a number of variant physical releases and thought out merchandise a la Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, etc... she could easily have a number one. Toni Braxton's first week numbers suffered severely because it was initially a digital only release and her fan base, like Janet's, still buy CD's and vinyl. 

I don't foresee Janet being able to tour again until at least 2022. If she was going to tour next year Live Nation would have postponed the dates instead of issuing refunds.  They've already rescheduled a number of tours for 2021 and it's still questionable whether those will actually proceed.  It's time for Janet and her team to come up with another game plan that doesn't initially involve touring. Release the music and instead of focusing on a single, promote it as a body of work. I'm curious to see how Alicia Keys does this week. She's been highly visible during this pandemic and is still performing and releasing visuals. Her numbers will be limited like Toni's though since her album is not physically in stores yet.

I agree with this, but the reverse.... put out 3-4 singles and music videos over a 9 month span then release the full album. Because of the way streaming algorithms work it's best to do it that way because all the single sales/streams go towards the final album numbers.

Child at this point, if a video was or has been shot, just release it with album simultaneously!!!! Have Janet and Bruno promote via Zoom interviews!!! Honestly we have absolutely NO idea when this pandemic will officially end; meaning the show might as well go on and work with the severe limitations given the circumstances. I’m sure by this point Janet just as or even more patient than we are so hopefully we’ll hear something soon.

And we can always blame the pandemic if shit hits the fan

I wonder if we're getting something completely new or was she already booked to promote Black Diamond before the pandemic. I didn't know they even had a category for tours.

I know on paper he's up there with all the other legends. He's even the second most awarded male R&B act ever, MJ is #1 of course. He inspired every R&B artist since the mid 2000s, he's outlasted all his peers (Monica, Brandy, and Aaliyah) and is still very relevant, but he still feels disrespected for some reason. I know the Vanguard Award is usually given after artist have a good year tho. He really should have won it a good 10 maybe 15 years ago, but IDK why lol. He did get the BET Honors and earlier this year at the Grammys dinner they just started clapping for him and cheering out of nowhere just cuz someone said he was one of the greatest entertainers ever, so people recognize his impact. IDK where the disconnect is. Maybe it's just the fact that he's almost 30 years into his career and no one's on top forever. He should get that award tho Maybe he will next year? Fans are very excited for a new album he's been teasing for about 3 years now so they might give it to him next year. If not, I'm not worried for him. Everyone knows he's a legend so does it really matter?

He deserves it but JT was always a kiss ass and favored over him. Racial barriers with this stuff as usual

If we still got the album during the pandemic would we have made it go number 1 is the real question?

lol ya'll a trip. Janet has the most humble fans of all the divas. We're in the Rock & Roll hall of fame now gurls, keep it classy. There's no need to stoop to behive level

I just wonder if the album will be reworked to reflect all the current events with 2020. I'm here for a RN meets Velvet Rope album
