There are a total of 3 songs she played. 1st song she has playing in background when video starts, next one starts at 9:10, and last one starts at 14:10.

I like all 3 (from what I heard), I'm really feelin woman to woman, and would like to hear more than the chorus on the first song she has playing in the background.

JANET JACKSON

Did Not Slap or Verbally Abuse Paris Jackson

Janet Jackson did not slap or verbally abuse Paris Jackson during a confrontation at the Jackson family home in Calabasas last week.

TMZ published a story last week based on sources who told us Janet went off on Michael Jackson's daughter after the singer tried to grab Paris' cell phone. We also reported Janet called Paris a "spoiled little bitch."

Although we believed the story to be true when we published it, we have now determined it was not correct ... Janet did not slap or otherwise touch Paris, nor did she verbally abuse her.

Here's the video...

The ending reminds of Ciara's Promise video.

And what's up with the bandana with the tassel hanging from it?

Anyway, this song has really grown on me and I love it!

This is apparently why he is changing/changed his name...

Snoop Dogg becomes Snoop Lion, readies reggae CD

NEW YORK (AP) -- Snoop Dogg wants you to know that he's tired of hip-hop, is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about.

Also, he's got a new name: Snoop Lion.

The artist said at a news conference Monday in New York that he was "born again" during a visit to Jamaica in February and is ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to."

The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated."

Bob Marley's son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop his blessing.

"I feel like I've always been Rastafarian," Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement. While there, he said, he visited a temple, was renamed Snoop Lion and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, meaning "light of the world."

Snoop didn't explain why he was switching from "Dogg" to "Lion," but it's likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture.

Later, he played five songs for a small crowd, including one called "No Guns Allowed." It features his daughter and includes the lyrics, "No guns allowed in here tonight, we're going to have a free for all, no fights."

"It's so tragic that people are doing stupid things with guns," he said.

Snoop, best known for hits like "Gin and Juice" and "Drop It Like It's Hot," is an avid supporter of marijuana rights and has been banned from entering Norway for two years after trying to enter the country with a small amount last month.

He said that in Jamaica, where he stayed for 35 days, he grew closer to his wife, who saw his transition. He added that he's excited to perform music that his family and children can listen to.

"As a 40-year-old man ... I've got to give them something," he said. "That's what you do when you're wise."

Snoop Dogg said he's not completely retiring from hip-hop but is "tired" of the genre because it is no longer challenging.

"Reggae was calling ... it's a breath of fresh air," he said. "Rap isn't challenging; it's not appealing."

The album was produced by Diplo and will feature Snoop singing. It will be released on Vice Records.

The album will be followed with a documentary of the same name, also produced by Vice. It features Snoop making music and will include some personal elements of his life, a producer of the film said. It will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

A coffee table book about Snoop's rebirth is also in the works.

"It feels like I'm 19 or 20 years old again," he said.

What in the hell is she thinking we these poses??

And what was she thinking while in the studio???

I like to hear more of song #2

Great legs

Of course I'm surprised to not see Janet on the list, I'm also surprised to see no Alicia Keys.

Whitney's...

Awww, RIP

Well if this is true, that's a terrible reason her for you to sign something like that, to make Randy happy?

This is the estate and her nieces and nephews welfare are at stake. You should sign something this important only if you are 100% behind what you are signing.

Did she really believe the will was fraudulent and that the kids welfare wasn't being handled right?

Who ever thought it would be Latoya to be the one to stay out of drama?

Maybe it IS Latoya in all of this, just wearing a Janet mask.

Ugh, but for real tho this all so messy.

And to think ALL of this could have been avoided if she told the kids where she was going and when she'd be back. I still don't see how hard it could have been for Katherine to pick up a phone and talk to the grandkids and tell them she's ok, especially with the whirlwind that just went on. Now she has lost temporary custody.

The whole point was to give Katherine a break and let her rest, now she's gotta come back to a big ol mess and give interviews and shit to the media about this whole thing.

KATHERINE JACKSON

I Wasn't Kidnapped

... I Just Needed a Break

Katherine Jackson has finally broken her silence ... claiming the reason she hasn't checked in with her grandkids for the past 10 days is because she simply didn't feel like using the phone.

She also sounds like she's full of crap.

Jackson just finished up an on-camera interview with "ABC News" ... and talked about the family drama that's transpired since she mysteriously ditched MJ's kids 10 days ago ... and wound up in Arizona.

"There are rumors going around about me that I have been kidnapped," Jackson said ... adding, "I am here today to let everybody to know that I am good and fine."

"My children would never do anything to me like that."

Sure they wouldn't ...

When asked why she felt it was OK to leave 3 minor children in a house without a guardian .. Katherine explained she just felt like taking a "short vacation."

"One reason I didn't call is I just gave up my phone and I didn't want to have any phone calls while I was here."

It's unclear why she didn't TELL HER GRANDKIDS FIRST!

Still, Katherine says ... "I am devastated that while I've been away, my grandchildren have been taken away from me, and I'm coming home."

So, we gotta ask ..

RIP

He always had me rollin! I'm also a little shocked to learn he had no wife nor any children.

This is all just too much for me, kidnapping plots, kids not being able to contact their grandmother for a significant amount of time, she can be seen pictured playing UNO, but can't or won't (don't know which) pick up the phone and let her grandchildren know she's okay. The fact that Janet is involved and getting a lot bad press over that video. I can't take it, I never read what goes on with the family, but just seeing a lot of what's being posted and said about Janet, I decided to look at other websites, and it's just plain ugly all around. So I'm gonna step back and not pay anymore attention to this.

Love ya Janet, and I know you have them kids best interest at heart.

JANET & JERMAINE

FACE-OFF

at Jackson Family Home

TMZ has obtained a photo of Janet Jackson and Jermaine Jackson in a heated exchange at the Jackson family home-- shortly after Sheriff's deputies responded to an alleged battery there on Monday afternoon.

In the pic, Janet and her brother Jermaine are in front of the Calabasas compound ... clearly engaged in a heavy conversation.

We're told the photo was taken within the same hour LA County Sheriff's deputies went to Katherine Jackson's home ... after someone inside accused someone else of a physical assault.

We do not know if Jermaine and Janet were involved in that dispute.

As we previously reported, Janet and Jermaine have a lot to discuss -- the letter they and 3 other siblings signed, demanding the Executors of Michael Jackson's Estate step down ... and Katherine Jackson's puzzling trip to Arizona.
