    Tina Landon? Come on now..let it go. Its 2015. She is/was not the only "dope" choreographer out there. Shes actually overrated.,,and thats coming from a dancer.

    I actually don't like a lot of what's considered "current style" of choreography. Many current choreographer actually seem to over-choreograph. It's very busy to me. They don't allow for a breath between the beats; they choreograph every. single. note. It's way too much.

    So yeah. I would have prefer Tina's grace and subtlety. Sorry if that offends you. :(

    that's happened before back in 2001, Janet even had to clock Carson Daly for getting her tour mixed up with Madge. she was classy about it though but I could spot the underlying shade.

    For real? Do we have receipts for this encounter? LOL!

    Morrissey Comes for President Barack Obama

    Morrissey: Obama is doing nothing for US black community

    Singer tells The Daily Beast that Obama ‘doesn’t look overly African black’, and offers equal ire at Republican presidential candidates

     
    Morrissey has attacked Barack Obama for his lack of support for black communities in the US. The singer, whose own record on racial politics is often viewed with some scepticism, told The Daily Beast in an email interview: “I can’t see him doing anything at all for the black community except warning them that they must respect the security forces.

    He said that stance was ludicrous. “It seems evident to me that black males are being deliberately murdered throughout America as a closing message to Obama, telling him that his presidency has meant nothing and that the division of colour is now bigger than ever.”

    Morrissey wondered if Obama was “white inside” while speaking to Larry King last week, and expanded on his theme with The Daily Beast, asking if Obama would feel any urge to leniency if one of his daughters were shot dead by a police officer. “I don’t imagine he’d be willing to accept the exoneration of that white cop,” he said.

    He said the police – “the Ku Klux Klan to most black Americans” – deliberately targeted the poor and marginalised “because the poor have no influential friends and therefore can’t retaliate, and the cops know that they can play about with poor people”.

    In his final observation on Obama, Morrissey said: “He doesn’t look overly African black. He’s as close to soft, whiteness as someone who isn’t white could get, and I often wonder if he would have been elected if he had a stronger, more African black face? It’s a point.”

    He also spoke about the 2016 presidential race, saying he found the Republican candidates “dangerously reactionary and occasionally insane”, whereas he backed Hillary Clinton. “I don’t think Clinton has even begun to dig into the race yet, and when she does she will gain massive support,” he said.

    Now I want to hear "Night."

    There’s a song called “Night.”

    The re-discovery process the trio of Jackson, Jam, and Lewis went through on “No Sleeep” showed up again when working on another song, and it ultimately hinged on Jackson’s physical reaction. “We did another song that’s just called ‘Night.’ We never really had an ending for it,” says Jam. “So I got this idea for an ending and told her about it. I worked on it a little bit, then I gave it to Terry, and we were playing her some stuff just to show her where we were at, and when that ending came on that she hadn’t heard, it was the same thing: huge smile, dancing around the room. She loved it. To me, as a collaborator, that’s to me the best feeling in the world when you get something that moves her like that. That’s what you want.”

    Billboard: Rewinding the Charts: 15 Years Ago, Janet Jackson Scored a Hot 100 First

    Janet Jackson

    On Aug. 26, 2000, Jackson became the first artist to notch Hot 100 No. 1s in the '80s, '90s and '00s with 'Doesn't Really Matter.'

    ON AUG. 26, 2000, JANET Jackson claimed her ninth No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Doesn't Really Matter" and became the first artist to summit the chart in the '80s, '90s and '00s, with a brand of street pop that was sexually confident and socially aware. (Madonna would match the feat just three weeks later when "Music" knocked Jackson from the top spot.)

    "Matter" was released from the soundtrack to Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, co-starring Jackson and Eddie Murphy. Then 34, the youngest of the musically talented Jackson children had wrapped the '90s with 18 top 10 Hot 100 hits, second only to Mariah Carey's 19.

    Following the success of "Matter," Jackson scored another No. 1 single in 2001 with "All for You," but her momentum came to a halt on Feb. 1, 2004 when, during a halftime performance at Super Bowl XXXVIII, Justin Timberlake tore open Jackson's costume, exposing one of her breasts to 140 million TV viewers. The infamous "wardrobe malfunction" led to a media firestorm and FCC investigation, and Jackson hasn't cracked the top 10 of the Hot 100 since. She did, however, top the Billboard 200 in 2008 with her album Discipline.

    Ask Billboard: Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hits

    At the conclusion of a 2011 tour, Jackson stepped away from the spotlight and married billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana in 2012. In June, she re-emerged to announce an upcoming world tour and a new album (its title has yet to be announced), her first studio recording in seven years. Lead single "No Sleeep" returned Jackson to the Hot 100 for the first time since 2008, marking her 40th chart hit. The sensual track also topped the Aug. 22 Adult R&B Songs airplay chart, becoming her first leader on the list in 17 years.

    A version of this article first appeared in the Aug. 29 issue of Billboard magazine.

    Janet Writes a Note to Aaliyah on the Anniversary of Her Death

    that video would have been bomb. Im imagining something dark and twisted. Long before Robin became Rihanna, Aaliyah and Janet were the only two R&B acts really exploring darker themes and I loved that about them both. I think that's why Janet admired Aaliyah so much, not only did she take risk and venture into strange territories...she wasn't a try hard or a 'look at me'....she was  humble, different, unique, mysterious and a tom boy...all things that Janet can definitely identify with.

    All of these words are #Facts.

    Janet Writes a Note to Aaliyah on the Anniversary of Her Death

    Bandwagon stan -_- 

    Actually, Janet has been an Aaliyah stan since the 90s. I remember her speaking in a radio interview in New York--I think it was Z100--an they asked Janet about several female artists, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, and Aaliyah, and Janet just gushed and gushed about how Aaliyah stood out amongst the competition and was always giving audiences art that was new, fresh, and original, etc.

    So unless bandwagon stans put in decades of stanning, Janet's credentials are legit.
