  1. I rejoiced in the days when chart topping, record breaking, award winning, and title ranking came not from popularity but hardwork and talent. When will these days come back? I pray they are not too forgone.
  2. How the FUCK is Janet not on this list? All for You, If, You Want This, All Nite(Don't Stop), Feedback, What's It Gonna Be?!, Make Me, and all the ones similar did NOT make the cut?? These people are on some other shit. Seriously.
  3. Janet Jackson’s number one hit “Let’s Wait Awhile,” from the album Control has been chosen as the song dedicated to the city of Dublin. Janet’s NUMBER ONES: Up Close & Personal tour, is her largest-ever world tour. Janet will dedicate a selected number one song to each of her fan-suggested stops. The show will be taking place in Dublin on July 5th at Grand Canal Theater. The tour, in which the superstar performs a selection of songs from her impressive 35 number one hits, has recorded similar SRO engagements throughout Asia, North America and now Europe. Of her upcoming engagement in Dublin the Icon has said, “I have to wait a little while longer to get to Dublin, but am excited to see all my fans in this historic city. We are going to have an amazing time!” The media has celebrated JANET’s performances throughout her tour: "Often imitated, never duplicated, Janet Jackson’s outbursts of meticulous choreography, sassy exclamations and smoldering gazes into the audience kept them on their feet for the entire two-hour set ." – MTV "More than a week has passed since I saw JANET JACKSON at Radio City Music Hall, and I’m still smiling..." - New York http://www.janetjackson.com/story/news/janet_jackson_dedicates_lets_wait_awhile_to_dublin "Omg! This is why I'm proud to be 1/8 Irish ^-^ I LOVE you Janet! My fellow Irishmen/women will treat you like the queen you are! "
  4. I kinda like it. I love butterflies and rainbows. I kinda wanna see something more elegant from her though with her being a mom. Ah well...next topic
  5. Mmm nothin' like a little morning drama to start a new day. For the crazy chick in denial: I recommend some Prozac or a Valium because obviously you are pressed about something. Conductor: That's how you do it. I applaud you Alright..moving on to the next topic
  6. AT LAST!! AT LAST!! All my LGBTQ people and supporters, the doors are really opening. CHEERS!
  7. Why do some of the biggest criminals always smile in mug shots? Politics=bullshit
  8. Ehh I don't care for Nicki nor Brit. I just read this for fun's sake. Ah well. Moving on.
  9. Janet always knows what she's doing. Something's up with their press. But whatever, their refusal is her gain.
  10. This marks an end to my childhood Nooooo!! But I can't wait to see Mrs. Weasley and Bellatrix go at it. That'll be such a highlight After this all I'm gonna hear from some of these younger chicks is about that Nightlight/Twilight whatever. SMeyer's pathetic excuse for a franchise. Just... :&
  11. R.I.P. 2pac. The Rap game isn't the same without you. I swear if he was still here over 90% of the rappers now would be in some fast food place workin' the deep frier.
  12. Like many, I adore Mike and Janet both. They are the greatest. With that said, wth is with the interviewer for asking the last question?? Intimidated? Why would she be? She is not in Michael's shadow. Once she found her identity decades ago, she's become her OWN legend. GO JANET!
  13. By Black Sheep Magazine Janet Jackson has been beguiling audiences the world over for over 25 years. Starting her career by performing backing vocals on Michael's Off the Wall album, she's since held her own and proved to everyone that she's much more than just Michael Jackson's little sister. Her albums have been described as being sonically innovative, socially conscious and sexually provocative. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis penned and produced much of her music. These guys, let's not forget, honed their talents under the genius guidance of one Jamie Starr (or Prince to call him by his better known Christian name) from their Starr produced band The Time. With such credentials and Jackson's raw talent, it's no surprise she's had a successful career for a quarter of a century. About to embark on the biggest tour of her professional life, Number Ones: Up Close and Personal, Janet took out a few minutes to chat about her music, her acting, her piercings and her brother, Michael; proving that she's still someone very much in control. Which of your albums is your favourite? I can't choose a favourite. I create my music based on what is going on in my life at the time. Each one brings back such beautiful and special memories for me. It would really be impossible to pick. During the Control period, you wore a key on an earring. What did the key fit? The keys were to the cages of all the animals that my brother Mike and I used to take care of. I put it on my earring so that I wouldn't lose it. Critics said that the Discipline album was a solid return to form and compared it to the greatness of Control. How would you compare the two and was it intentional to name the two in a similar dominatrixy theme? I have grown a lot since Control. That album was about me taking responsibility of my life and making decisions for myself. There are many forms of discipline... Discipline was so much more than a dominatrix theme. Both of them were. The titles were not "dominatrixy" to me. You are on the biggest tour of your career to support your second greatest hits album. What preparations do you put in? There is so much that goes into creating a tour. I started by creating the set list... deciding what I wanted to say to the audience. Then I started working with my creative director Gil on the choreography and with Robert Behar on the costumes... Choosing the dancers... rehearsing... It is a long but rewarding experience. What can the fans expect at the show? The shows are different from what I have done in the past. I would always perform in stadiums. I decided to do this tour up close and personal, so it is not about special effects. It is a love affair between my fans and me. It's a thank you to them for supporting me all these years. Your family is one of the most talented families on the planet. What drove and influenced them? I think that we have always been focused on our careers. We would be told as kids that we should not bring our problems on stage with us... The fans paid their money to see us, and we had to make sure to perform for them. This was what it was like growing up. It is all I have ever known. What did you think of your performance in For Colored Girls? I don't really like to watch my work on screen. I do what rings true to me, or moves me and I hope that the audience can relate to that. Everyone's performance was excellent and the delivery of the poetry seemed to ease in and didn't seem forced. Was it harrowing to film? Everyone did a great job. The cast is so talented and I was happy to be a part of For Colored Girls. My character, Jo, fought to get out of the neighbourhood... She lived her life apart. So that is what I did on the set. It was hard though. I could hear all the girls on the talking and having fun between takes. I really wanted to be a part of that but couldn't so that I could bring Jo to life. Filming for me was not harrowing; except for one scene when Crystal, played by Kimberly Elise and her husband, played by Michael Ealy have a fight that involves their children. That was very difficult. Michael oozed raw talent. He was a magnificent singer, dancer, performer and entertainer. You worked with him a few times. Was it intimidating working with him or was music so much part of your lives that it just kind of flowed with ease? Music has always been a part of our lives. I can remember doing our chores as kids... We would be cleaning the kitchen and while we were all working, we would be writing songs. I have never been intimidated by my brothers and sisters. Janet Jackson will be bringing her Number Ones: Up Close & Personal Tour to the Royal Albert Hall on June 30th, July 2nd and July 3rd.

  16. Janet Jackson’s number one hit “Runaway,” from the album Design of a Decade 1986/1996 has been chosen as the song dedicated to the city of Paris. Janet’s NUMBER ONES: Up Close & Personal tour, is her largest-ever world tour. Janet will dedicate a selected number one song to each of her fan-suggested stops. The show will be taking place in Paris on June 26th and 27th at Olympia. The tour, in which the superstar performs a selection of songs from her impressive 35 number one hits, has recorded similar SRO engagements throughout Asia, North America and now Europe.

I must continue my tour but I’m looking forward to getting back and performing for all my fans at The Olympia. Spring time in Paris feels so good to me! See you soon.” The media has celebrated JANET’s performances throughout her tour: "Often imitated, never duplicated, Janet Jackson’s outbursts of meticulous choreography, sassy exclamations and smoldering gazes into the audience kept them on their feet for the entire two-hour set ." – MTV "More than a week has passed since I saw JANET JACKSON at Radio City Music Hall, and I’m still smiling..." - New York Times In addition to her rigorous tour schedule, Janet has headed record-setting fundraising events for HIV/AIDS research and treatment, including hosting recent balls in Cannes and Vienna, which topped all prior fundraising amounts of those events. Prior to her upcoming tour appearance at London's Royal Albert Hall and Paris' Olympia Music Hall, Janet will entertain in France for a giant fund-raiser June 15 when she becomes the first female artist ever to perform at the Louvre in the extraordinary IM Pei glass pyramid, raising funds for that most famous of museums. The Icon’s current tour differs from her previous concert schedules of years past in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD NUMBER ONES. There is also a focus on venues that will allow Janet to be “up close and personal,” in a much more intimate settings. In each selected city, Janet will offer something different to her performance so no show will be the same. This tour is Janet Jackson more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before. Janet will also be selecting the first fan winner of the contest in voting for the each of the selected cities. The winner will be announced on www.JanetJackson.com and they will receive an autographed copy of NUMBER ONES and an autographed copy of her upcoming book "True You" (in stores now). Her New York Times bestseller True You, published by Karen Hunter Publishing, an imprint of Gallery Books at Simon & Schuster is currently in stores and is continuing to climb the charts. Janet's first book reveals her unique, insider's perspective on dieting and exercise-from her past, present and her future. True You chronicles Janet's lifelong struggles with weight and self-esteem. The book is a self-help/esteem book where Janet uses anecdotes from her real life to illustrate the power of self-esteem and how she struggles and her continued growth as an artist and a woman. "Je t'aime plus, ma cherie Bon chance! Le peuple de France vous adore! Avoir une très belle soirée. "
