I feel like this is only coming thru now as ive reached my 40s. Its helps that I look 10 -12 years younger, which use to bug me. Now I embrace it and use to my advantage.

do you tell your age? the actual number? I dont feel my age so much as I can say I have seen a lot and learned somethings, and Ive also NOT seen a lot and have a ton to learn too

more news media is reporting this project is in its beginning stages, so with that said, I support Janet and really hope its something she is proud of

I would love to see a Janet movie. But she would deserve a big production movie, not just a tv broadcast.

Anyway. I think the movie should be about certain times of her life. She's had such an eventful life so far that I think it would be too much to tell the story of her whole life and have many different actresses portaying her, max two different leads, preferably one.

I think it could be about her amazing rise to a megastar from the shadow of her brother(s). How she ended up becoming basically the most successful one of the family while still living a relatively normal life. What made her stood out of the rest. Ppl would love to know more about her personal affairs but that's not going to happen.

I know a few actresses who look like her a bit, but still none of them match Janet's natural beauty. We would need someone absolutely gorgeous and talented newcomer.

 

I believe a new comer would go over the best, anyone else will just be compared IMO

As long as they skip the Jermaine Dupri years I’m on board!!!

she loved that man,  spent 8 years together, he was there during the SB, MJ passing, during the Virgin albums to fill her contract

Janet's story is so unique and there's so much to tell... I'm totally okay with a biopic now instead of one in 10 or 20 years. It could be focused on her rise to stardom, but i'd love to see more insights in her private life and how she was treated... The Superbowl aftermath would be interesting as well and how she had to fight for her career. A lot of people don't really know that.

give me the story behind why the skin game is still around specific to her reasons.

All the relationships and divorces, sorry boo, someone has beans, so spill em

industry politics and games, oh and spill all the relevant tea on any chick or dude that you had negative or positive with. AKA let me spell it out, Prince? Madonna? etc.

Different actresses should play Janet at different ages in her career. As a child. another for JanetJackson/Dream Street, and another from Control to Damita Jo

that could work, it may be distracting though, depending on how long they spend in each time period. Still a challenge IMO to find someone that could play Janet

Ive thought about this for years, and let me start with some points IMO:

1. Janet's story aint over, so even now a biopic would be kinda premature, my only reservation I dont want her story NOT told because no one's interested, and that's all timing. Lena Horne who? To this generation of kids out here.  

2. I dont see a single female that would play Janet convincingly, through all the different eras, different looks, and "size"   one of the hallmarks of Janet's "brand" has always been her looks, which is why Janet when acting has its issues because kinda hard not to see her and think JANET.

3. Depends on the script. If you can pull off another "What's Love Got to Do With It" I would be in, that movie was well produced.

4. I'd rather Janet do her memoirs or autobiography, she tends to be more candid in print. If a biopic were green lit, I wonder how much more would she be willing to tell? I mean if we hear about the key to the animal cages, or not keeping a journal so my songs are my journal, I will scream in the theater "stop" run up  in front of the movie screen and scream "Give me a beat!"    *thinking about Voodoo*

Precisely...people jump on JD for always talking about her, but he is always asked! It doesn't appear to frustrate him though.

let's be real here, you add the name Janet in and that ish get views. JD has every chance to say, hey I wont talk about that nor her so don't ask.  

 for a billionaire I would do a lot of things too   just saying

That performance lacked energy to me , but if you mean in terms of executing moves then of course

when Janet said she cut rehearsals in half, that's when we should have known, she wont be coming like dat, although at least on the BB awards she gave us the full "If" breakdown, I mean we hadn't seen her use her arms for that since what? "Rock Witchu"  

she has to save her energy for raising her son, I'm sure both parents are looking for the other to slip up and back to court we go because ohh she tired from doing all that on stage baby aint being attended to. I completely understand Janet's pulling back, and she still has that energy we saw that on the BB awards, she can get it there, but she has to be mindful of balance. Working moms that's the entire story, I wouldn't put age on her just yet

I dont think anyone could have imagined a year, this insane. Folks came in celebrating the "roaring 20's" and all, look at this shit now  I read on FB someone said did you unplug it wait a few seconds and plug it back in? Referring to the year 2020. 

he made it sound like differences in "want" in terms of she's a Cali gurl, and he's an Atlanta boy , I was still shocked they never lived together after 8 years of being together. I'm thinking the fact they did NOT live together, tells a LOT about how somebody felt in that relationship. I dont even think you can really test a relationship out properly unless you did live together, how would you propose to someone for marriage and you don't know their day to day living habits? That's a huge piece missing IMO

I think he has implied it most time when asked ^^

I'm more surprised they didn't live together...i assumed they did together in Atlanta.

THAT!  I was like, hold up, they didnt live together?  .....so anywho they reposted this interview, with JUST the Janet part  I guess milk it however you can  My question is at what point can you do an interview where Janet isn't brought up?

For those that care, I did watch the entire thing, because JD has a lot to speak on, and so does TI for that matter, BUT the Janet part goes on for quite some time and this video was posted last night, for the Janet only part start @ 45:30

Yay!!! Bout to celebrate!!!

I had to woosaw some shit  

I cued up Itunes, which I never use, and I had all of Janet's music on there, and I played most of her catalog yesterday while at work. I played all of 20YO, the Control Remixes, the dance version of WITOY is slapping

You asking a lot lol. RN, All For You, and State of The World are my favorites, but I can see why others prefer Velvet Rope

I just was debating this and its either Janet. or the VR, I lean more towards Janet for the "bells and whistles" but the execution of VR, especially the medley, is my favorite, glad I saw them both twice!

grateful for this during the lockdown and really enjoying it

No Sleeep was basically just Janet

I hate the J. Cole part every time  she didnt need him the song slaps on its own

Gurl get it, it's not as clear as the RN video, I wish the entire film short was in HD she did win her first Grammy for it

*downloads them quickly before they disappear 

smart move, I remember awhile back Mark Romanek posted a 1080p version of "Scream" on his website, it's gone now, but it was BEAUTIFUL!  I didn't save it and I should have because I've never seen it THAT clear before nor since
