Why you mad, HoeHoe? I always make sense, Dayz!

We've gotten so use to major promo with each project, that we're spoiled. lol That didn't really start for Janet until the VR and AFY eras. Remember, her first major TV interview happened in the VR era. Prior to then, it was limited print media and interviews as part of specials on MTV/BET, and even those were limited. lol She's basically going back to how she previously did it. Promo will come, but it won't be traditional. The era of traditional album promo is over. Those of you that fake stan for certain artists should be well aware of this.....

Everyone is on Twitter and facebook now. lol

Your stan is showing, Dayz.

Jealous of your THOT-like ways? I think not...

Another slut.

Slut. BITCH!

I LOVE all of the love that Janet is getting! Vanity Fair's BEST SONG OF THE WEEK! No Sleeep! ‪#‎TeamRealMusic‬ ‪#‎TeamNotChasingHits‬ The Best Song of the Week is ...Janet Jackson’s “Sleeep” While newbies are always welcome, this week was dominated by the long-awaited return of Janet Jackson, who came back to show the younguns how it’s done. The Queen of Pop laid the groundwork for her comeback with “No Sleeep” posted above, and with a new record label, full-length album, and world tour in the works there’s no doubt that she’s back. The three “e”s in the song title are just one sign of how confident Jackson is about her place in the world of music. The song has her working with long-time producers Jimmy Jamand Terry Lewis for the first time in almost a decade and is reminiscent of her The Velvet Rope sound, but wholly modern, too. It serves as a great reminder that even though she’s been gone for years, she’s still Janet—Miss Jackson if you’re nasty. http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/06/the-best-song-of-the-week-is-janet-jackson-s-sleeep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_2_VgUdeq4

Where did you read that? I do like it!

Because it's all about Facebook views/shares. They knew it was fake when they posted it. #CLOCKED

This is fake. It was posted on the same Soundcloud that posted the other "snippet". IT. IS. FAKE. Hey, I guess it has people talking, though.

People will most definitely believe what the want. Someone, somewhere will say "I knew she was a b***h!" However, LA Reid doesn't hold the kind of weight that it'll change anyone's opinion of Janet. Also, he has a reputation concerning how he deals with artists too. Therefore, most won't care one way or the other.

Me too.

Get a room you two...

I would do the same and I would go so far as to call her a bandwagon stan. There is a difference between thinking she fail off creatively and her later output wasn't up to par. NO ONE stays on top forever. Whether it be in terms of success or creativity. However, trashing her because of that is where I draw the line. A lot of people stopped following her, simply because she wasn't "in" anymore. Don't jump up in my face with the bandwagon stanning because the media/public are excited about her return. Do that all you want. I just won't acknowledge you....

Does he even still come on the forum? lol Anyway, I said happy birthday to him on Facebook. Just saying it here too! lol HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Just a few weeks ago, Janet Jackson, one of the most celebrated artists of all time, announced her return after a seven year hiatus from recording music. Now 49, the singer faces a different landscape than she’s used to, and her comeback could have been an uphill battle…but in typical Jackson form, she’s doing things her own way, and it actually might end up being a great business decision. She’s In Charge For the first time in her career, it looks like Janet is going to be in charge of the entire album recording and release process. Instead of working with a major label as she has always done throughout her many years as a globally-adored star (after disappointing sales of her last album, Discipline, she and Island Records parted ways), Janet has started her own label, Rhythm Nation. The company gets its name from her fourth album, which remains one of her best sellers (thanks to the four number one hits that were released off of it). She has partnered with BMG to distribute the album, meaning she doesn’t have to worry about actually getting the record out there to consumers…she just has to make it. By owning the label that will be releasing her upcoming eleventh studio album, Janet is not only paying for all the costs associated with recording and promoting an album herself, she’ll be reaping almost all of the benefits. While album sales aren’t what they used to be, she’s going to take home a much higher percentage of each sale than she likely ever has, as there are fewer people taking pieces of the pie. If she doesn’t overspend on production, making a profit could be easy. It’s A Great Excuse To Tour Somebody as massively popular as Janet Jackson doesn’t really need to produce new material in order to venture out on a worldwide trek, but it does give her a great excuse to do so. Touring is where most of an artist’s money comes from these days, and a star like Janet can command hundreds of thousands per night. There are only so many “Greatest Hits” shows a singer can do before it feels like selling out, so even if she only performs a few new cuts, touring under the guise of promoting a new record is a tried and true route to a financially successful year. She’s Got Nothing To Prove At the end of the day, little to nothing is riding on the success of the album itself. If she manages things correctly, nobody will judge her should the record flop commercially. Janet is already one of the most successful pop icons of all time in every sense, and her legacy is not riding on how well a later record performs. If she focuses on creating a well-crafted album that has integrity and meaning, instead of reaching for top ten hits and blockbuster sellers, her fans will appreciate it, and she won’t be lambasted in the media as some other older pop stars are. It’s tough to be on top of the charts and all over radio after so many decades, but really great music knows no age, and can come from anywhere. http://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2015/06/12/janet-jacksons-musical-comeback-makes-a-lot-of-financial-sense/
