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. 

You jealous?

 

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

He's on his own tour right now ... wouldnt mind if he did a leg drop and landed on my face tho...

Another slut. 

Let me purchase an M&G and slip some chloroform into his drink

Slut. 

if she wasn't married she would probably give him the bizness (he is her type), but then again I heard he likes playing hide the hot dog in the bun...but then again that's never stopped Janet.  

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.

Let Janet DO Janet,damn!

For most of her career her instincts were on point. Ppl always want her to come back BIG but Janet likes to come back lowkey then blow us away later...its a "build up to" situation. For you fans 30 and over should know how she operates more than anybody. Get with the progran there is a METHOD to her madness...wake up!

I think people forgot who the professional is #LIVINGlegend vs #fan

U forgot that she's coming out of pocket for EVERYTHING? U think she throws her money away? She knows what she's doing, she's Janet Jackson, and you are her fan bc she does shit HER WAY, not the way people want/expect her to

7 years... We didn't waited 7 years for Bailey to bitch bc he didn't get his way 

 

 

It's better than anything the old Maid released in the past 20 years 

#CLOCKED 

It's almost like you want it to fail because it's not the upbeat song you wanted.

Why not just wish her success and be done with it?

Is it because if it doesn't become a number 1 smash, you want to be able to say "See? I was right!"?

Come on, homie. Celebrate with us. Don't be a buster.

#CLOCKED 

Where did you read that?

I do like it!

Arent they still on tour? i believe they werent gonna start recording until their tour was over. They were still colleting funds while they were doin promo for the tour ...cause even New Kinds On The Block donated

Yall act like they collected the money a yr ago ...too recent to expect news and/or an album for that matter. Newsflash...albums take time.

Those damn people on Facebook are really believing this shit is real.. 

The original posters won't take the shit down.. 

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

If the song is FAKE he flipped out over nothing

#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.   

Gross.. Bailey and FatOtherFriend needs to stop

Theres ppl that will always wanna believe the negative. Its a human error in our make up

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.

if I can watch

Me too. 

Get a room you two... 

For the tribute? Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Justin Timberlake ( )

 

My homegirl used to a be Janet fan in the day, I'd actually say she was more of a casual listener. Now that the Queen's back, fabulous, and the interest high...she wants jock Janet's line talking about "I'm still her #1 fan!!!" Hmm, I remember back when 20 Y.O. and Discipline dropped I couldn't even get her to listen to one track on either album. But that was a period when Janet was blacklisted, treated poorly by radio and the media. She texted me about Janet's comeback, I was like "what about it?" I told her off, she didn't ride for the Queen during the dark years so I'm not celebrating Janet's return w/ her. Only die hard, hardcore stans that never left and stood by her.

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.
