I watched the trailer, and the story is complete bull. How do I know? Because I watched the documentary on her life on Netflix.
Zoe's accent goes in and out in the trailer, and she does not act like her at all. There is going to be huge backlash from the black community over the colorism going on.
Nina's story is a sad story, and they decided to Hollywood her story. It was bad enough that her amazing documentary did not win the Oscar, but Hollywood "pays" tribute to her via this trash.
Don't get me wrong, the cinematography looks amazing, and you can tell that they put money into this. I wonder who has the rights to her music? I don't think it's the family, because I heard some of her music in the trailer. Clearly, they didn't have the rights to use Nina's real singing voice.

well Madonna lost money on her no prenup divorce to Guy Ritchie too so her net worth went down by how much who knows....we do know Janet is very frugle with her spending though, and I did read somewhere Janet, like Michael, owns music that other artist made
REALLY?! She does own music catalogs? Great for her coin purse.

I actually like it. It's fresh, and GREAT love from the indie genre!

I think it would have been better if he sang it in his range.

"Scream" vocals tho...
*Side note* Every time I see his face, I just flashback to a scene he did in an indie movie where he received a blowjob - a real life blowjob from the actress and he came on camera. Maybe it was a hand job. Either way, when I see him I always think, "Why would someone want to film him doing that?!"

I never understood why Janet never wanted to explore or display her vocal range. We know from "He Doesn't Know I'm Alive" and "Love Will Never Do Without You" that she can hit high and low notes. She has amazing harmonies and she is her own best background singer(s) hehe. Also, why is it that Jimmy or Terry never pressed Janet to do more with her voice? It's probably a comfort thing as some people have stated.
I actually, would love to hear her vocal practices and exercises. You'll be quite surprised what a singer can or cannot do when you hear them exercise their voice during trainings.

Thanks for reposting
Quite honestly I searched through this thread to make sure that no one had posted that IG post, but my phone lied to me, and you had beaten me to it.

I like Justin and Pharrell together. Hopefully his style can evolve a little this time, since Timbaland offered nothing new with 20/20.
Timbaland has been serving the same sounds since 2006. I honestly did not listen to 20/20, but I DO know that he re-took over the world once that album and tour dropped.

It's so sad. The will was truly faked. Michael would have never handed his entire estate over to those crooks. It would have gone to his mother in stewardship of his children. That was a billion dollar catalog that Sony bought back for cheap. I hope those two men sleep well at night, because they're going to hell once they leave this Earth. I feel sorry for his children and his family.

It will be interesting to see if the $115 million figure sticks after the entire appeals process. I highly doubt that it will, and a less inflated figure will be actually awarded to him.

They are. Most estimates are based on information given by a celebrities publicist. For example the amount of Janet's Virgin record contracts are public knowledge (so those 2 contracts combined is already $120 million dollars alone). While the amount she has earned from her multiple companies (such as JDJ Entertainment [sic], Black Doll Inc., etc.) as well as what she was paid for her various endorsements over the years aren't public knowledge because Janet doesn't talk about her finances like that.
This is true, but I believe it's $110 million from Virgin ($30 million for Janet, and $80 million for everything afterwards). Plus we do know that she was paid I believe $3 or $5 million for The Nutty Professor plus an additional $1 million for the single. I remember in one interview she did, she said she made her first $1 million when she was just 18!.
We truly don't know how much her take home pay from tours, endorsements, book sales, album and single sales, catalog earnings (now that she owns her masters), real estate, and other business ventures (which I would love to know what business ventures she has dappled in). Plus we don't know what her record deal with Island was like, and how much of it she had to give back in order to buy out her contract.
I honestly believe that Janet could be in the reaches of Mariah and Madonna. I believe the Mariah and Madonna figures are extremely over inflated just like their record "sales". I want Janet to provide some receipts, but I'm loving the secrecy aspects.
PLUS *side note* I remember when it hit the press that Janet is a billion dollar entertainer, Forbes came out and said somewhere in the article that Wissam is NOT a billionaire, because he has not shown up on their billionaire list either. But I believe he is as secretive as Janet is with his net worth.

Hmmm...now people will believe that the will was faked?
Why would Michael leave is estate in the hands of two individuals that he despised? They killed him for that catalogue, and now Sony will get it back.

The shade.
I remember you as well, welcome back. Madonna fan?
*Casual* fan of the crypt keeper.

True but you missed the part about Mariah really has no reason to be mad at Jlo. Jlo says she had no knowledge that she was "stealing" Mariah's samples/songs or whatever when Tommy presented them to her. J.lo was used as a ginny pig to spite Mariah. She's just as innocent as Mariah in all this. Like i said ppl (ADULTS) need to to do a better job at directing their anger SOLELY on the person who causes the issue. J.lo was not married to you,sweetheart. She's not the problem. Your ex husband is.
She knew what she was doing. I'm quite sure Tommy or someone on the inside told her exactly what was going on. And I bet J.Hoe revuled in it. She wasn't in the dark in this situation.
How would fans in a forum know what's going at the present moment, but not the music artist involved?!

This article was interesting. Apparently the whole storyline in the movie is some bs. The relationship portrayed in the movie between Nina and her manager is made to be a love type thing. But hes supposedly gay in real life and that never happened.
This is sad really that they have a biopic that could have been so much more they mess up like this.
Her longtime manager was her husband. Watch What Happened, Miss Simone.

But Mariah is the one foolish for her cattiness towards a woman who never did a thing to her. Mariah misguided her bitterness.. it should have been towards Tommy, not J.Lo. Its like when you watch the talk shows and see the wife wanting to fight the mistress when it was the MAN who did u dirty,, NOT the other bitch. Im teamJlo. Mariah is the one with the issue. Jlo is like..."whatever"
Actually, Mariah directed her anger at both Tommy and J.Hoe, but since the public only knows the latter, they will only report on the comments directed at her. Plus the press is really sexist, so a female dissing another female is more liking to be printed than a female dissing a male. Oh a male dissing a female is going to be printed as well.

Before I joined Janet.Club/Janet-Xone, I was here...I actually remember when the previous forum shut down, Angie created this forum for us all. After we switched over to Planet Janet, I joined the Xone.

Zoe has the TALENT to pull this off. Regardless of her ethnicity.
But I'm surprised they couldn't find an African American woman to portray her.
Viola Davis would have done WONDERFULLY!

Looks good and funny!

If I was Mariah, I would forget J.Ho too.

I was arguing with some Madonna fans cause they swarmed Janet's newest Billboard article about her cancelling to rest her voice and they were trying to say Kathy was lying about no financial interest in Janet's album and pointed out that she owns Janet's management. Anyway Roger lied cause Janet never dropped 81% it was 70% and the 19,000 was actually 30,000.
They are coming out full force all of a sudden! I see them on anything that is written about Janet. Like chill! Madonna's not pressed over Janet (publicly) and Janet vise versa.

I could not stand the producers at ALL including one of the executive producers Adam. They would egg them on and ruffle their feathers, but expected them to not fight? Nah son.
I loved how Drita threw the producer out of the elevator, and loved how Drita did not allow the producer to force her to watch the complied video like they wanted of her.
I disliked how Adam told them to discuss whatever they wanted to discuss to get everything out in the open, but then tells them later on to start talking about something else.
Marissa is extremely ANNOYING and lived for the camera (especially during the Big Ang special).
Loved Brittany and Drita.
"Get up Karen" is my absolute favorite line out of the entire episode.
I learned that Renee's sister is one of the executive producers of the show.
Honestly, I only watched this last season, because my friend made me watch it, but I ended up liking it. Honestly I could not watch the previous seasons after watching this season, because there is too much fighting in the previous seasons. The producers were having them fight left and right as if it was the Bad Girls Club, and I can't take that.
Karen is a liar and all mouth. Carla is a liar and she can't fight. I'm glad Drita called the girls out for their manipulation of Brittany, and it was not her. It was the girls always bringing up Marissa to Brittany, and Marissa always spoke about Brittany, but Brittany never brought up Marissa's name not once.
