I noticed that during the concerts I attended. I would wonder why Janet did not whip those girls into shape when it comes to being in sync. She is known as the artists to have in sync dancers. Everyone else has dancers that are not in sync and that is fine.

I never mentioned any of those things. Of course we as JanFam know that Janet doesn't like to do promo or be seen in the public. She is doing things her way since she is working under her own label. She doesn't have a record label to pay for her to do tons of interviews or performances. She's not into that. The Number Ones era was not destroyed by Wissam, Discipline and 20 Y.O. were not destroyed by JD. Number Ones era was successful at reminding people that Janet exists and is important in music. Discipline and 20 Y.O. were marred by the Superbowl and the pr breakdown aftermath. I will agree that 20 Y.O. was musically influenced by JD, but we have to think about who was the only audience to stay by her side after the Superbowl. Plus, JD had no hand in telling LA to force Janet to record songs that she did not musically have any input for Discipline. Yes Rene and JD made some influential decisions in Janet's career, but I don't see where Wissam is influencing her. Last time I checked, he never released a book, a jewelry line, or created his own business.

Oh sorry. I only saw me being quoted in that comment.

I know you didn't, and I was not coming for you. I decided to state my personal opinion on the main "Wissam is telling Janet what to do" topics.

I believe I saw you at the San Diego concert, but did not have the nerve to say hello. I felt like a creep. lol

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally, I don't see it. I think she's wearing loose fitting clothes, because (I think) she's at a place in her life where she doesn't give a flying f***. She's even said in an interview that she is comfortable with her body and she doesn't feel the need to expose it. Remember, she was covered up for the Number Ones era, I know not as much, but she was still covered. I don't see his influence over the diamond collection debuting in Dubai. The only influence I see, is that since she has been staying over there so much over the years, that people in the region are taking an interest in her. Kathy sees this and decided this is a good place to start. I wouldn't be surprised if they take the collection to Hong Kong, where the world elite likes to shop. I don't see his influence over Janet deciding to go independent either. After being screwed over TWICE by record labels, no wonder she decided to go independent.

It's not Gil! It's Parris and Luther serving as choreographers. I think the reason why she's walking more, and the new choreography looks more cheerleader is because Janet is getting older. She has in the past passed out on stage, plus she may not believe that she can sustain that same amount of energy during all of her tour dates.

You guys have to realize that everything she has been doing since Number Ones era has been under the guidance of her new management company. Nutrisystem and True You both involve recipes from chefs under Kathy's management company, which those two ventures were because of Kathy's management. Jewelry collections is nothing new for Kathy's management company. Remember, they are the company with the licensing to Liz Taylor's name, and all of the jewelry collaborations were done under Kathy's management company. So, Janet's diamond collection has more to do with Kathy's management company than her marriage to Wissam. However, because of Wissam, Kathy may have seen a market and place for the sale of Janet's jewelry line. I don't think Wissam is giving Janet any career or investment advice, it is all coming from her management company and Janet's own will to venture into those endeavors. I wouldn't be surprised if Janet soon came out with a perfume line as well. I don't mind Janet coming out with a diamond collection that her fans cannot afford. The main reason why celebrities release perfume lines, is because they are LUCRATIVE!! They want to make money, not give anything to their fans. If they wanted to release a product for their fans, they would release it on their websites, you will find it on sale at their concerts, etc. So Janet, make your money boo..

The movie was the same exact plot as Man of Steel. It was awful, and I hate the way they portrayed Batman. I did not like how they fetishized/hero worshiped Superman. I did not like how Lois was nothing but Superman bate - a plot worthy of BaitBus (yes I went there). Wonder Woman was the best part of the movie. The movie was a hot mess.

For good reason.

She's always a hot ass mess. Her staging looks like she's stuck on 1997.

It's sad that the estate will sell his share in the catalog, but the kids will lose all of that money due to taxes. Branca profits from the deal. Sony profits from the deal. Michael's estate and children lose BIG TIME.

I sound gay. Like a gay snob from the east coast, when I'm from the west coast.

They are all expired. :-/

I ddin't claim that. I just merely expressed that when she DOES reschedule the European dates, that she will do them justice. Two different topics.

I agree with the relaunch. Since the general public doesn't know about her new album, it will be easy to do!

Well Madonna did a lot of the promo you are speaking of, and it did not do her album sales justice. Madonna was already going to sell out her tour, but no one bought her album even when her face was everywhere AND she literally was falling on stage.

I'm right there with you.

GORGEOUS!!! I knew she had something in the bag! Hehe I truly believe that she will do Europe justice when she reschedules the dates.

JoeJoe, we can have a conversation all day about this hehe! As long as the security people around Karen, she was a badass, but when they weren't she wasn't. Karen ALWAYS kept Lee's name in her mouth and her father's name in her mouth. Drita saw that and kept calling her out on that from season 1 (from the clips I saw). It was her claim to fame, because she herself is a lame duck. Renee ain't shit either. She says that she doesn't like Brittany because her father corroborated, but people can say the same thing about her son. *whoop* She didn't think about that huh? I like how Brittany called her out on that, and put herself and Renee's son in the same boat, and Renee had nothing to say. Marissa is a girlfriend and was acting like her family or husband was in the business. Drita treated you like what you are, a girlfriend who is temporary. Marissa saw first hand that Drita was not the one to mess with (because the girls made her out to be someone soft? I guess). PLUS, I think Marissa's man also told her NOT to mess with Drita, because he knows her. Marissa does look weird, and her plastic surgery does not help with that.

You know what's interesting, is that it wasn't just him or Janet...a lot of popular music artists limit themselves on record, and I can't figure out why they would do such a thing. I actually heard Beyonce and Nicole (Pussycat Dolls) exercise their voices, and I was floored! I think that they should be bring back the singing in music.

Love that she has such a hand in her creative process and work.

The show (sorry not movie) is called Tell me You Love Me. It's actually a hand job, and I just read that the penis was not his real penis, but a prop. Oh well. But I still remember that scene whenever I see his face. UGH, he's so ugly.
