same as she did here in Asia at a private show

her career was only falling apart in America not overseas. She could've toured. Ryan Seacrest, thousands showed up for her performance. With all that controversy she still would've been a huge draw concert wise.

nope never heard that story. That had to suck. Idk why oversea sponsors wouldn't deal with her. I thought it wasn't a big deal to them, only in America it was

that's sad to hear

Wait i've never heard that before? Nobody would sponser her for that tour? Couldn't she have gotten one from overseas or something?

Oh really? I have feeling she will do it just like she did the popular african dance as the throb breakdown. I haven't heard this new african song but I might give it a listen. I hope Janet will be able to teach Eissa about his people's origins of Africa when he's capable of comprehending that kind of stuff. She'll be 60 when he's 10.

Yeah I remembered when she finally got on IG waaaaaay after everybody else. Mariah got 9.5 million and Madonnasaur got 15 million cause she's always trying to stay young and relevant. Janet is at 5 which is ok considering how late she joined. Shit like that Rickey Smiley interview about Janet going head to head against Beyonce in a vs battle would've never went that way with most of them doubting Janet had enough hits to go against Beyonce if Janet was truly cemented. There would've been no doubt in anyone's head cause Janet truly does have more hits and no.1s than Beyonce.

This! Everytime I get a notification that says Janet Jackson tweet when I click on it I end up doing this

I stopped watching her IG stories cause I know it's gonna be something i'm not interested in and I know it's not her who's doing those stories

Sorry I don't buy that "having kids" stuff as an excuse. Tons of Legends have kids and still make sure they're legacy is never forgotten. Janet's legacy is cemented for sure but we don't need it barely hanging on by elmer's glue. She's for sure cemented here in America but there's so many overseas who say they haven't heard of her or don't know her work. That's not being cemented

That was Eva's America's Next Failed Model who said that shit about Beyonce being bigger than Janet. I'ma go tweet that hoe!

I know other countries dont want Americans there right now. They're literally have a travel ban on us

and what's weird to me with that is why after all this time is she finally deciding to focus on Europe although its a great idea? I mean she should've kept them on her mind whenever she considered touring because that's where she started with the first leg of her Velvet Rope tour and all her dates sold out. That should've told her something

Agreed. If a record label doesn't wanna invest in updating RIAA certs the Artist can do it themselves if they choose to.

I've been seeing if from y'alls side for over a decade. I've been wanting her to start focusing on her overseas fans since America did her so dirty after the Superbowl. She should've went over there and toured all over the globe. Janet fucked up. She literally could've been huge overseas like Madonna. We'll never forget her here although the younger generation barely knows her but overseas definitely forgot about her.

This! I also definitely believe there was a time where Janet got cocky, just like most artists when they are huge, and thought her name alone would sell records, tickets, get good ratings, etc. which in part was true but that's not all that will work for you. For example, here's something that in my eyes started during the All For You era, Janet knew she was still hugely popular and that her album would do good numbers in sales worldwide whether she toured overseas or not. She had no interest in resuming the tour for her fans overseas so she didn't even when it was safe. We head on over to the Damita Jo era and still no tour for anyone, not even for her fans overseas. Then we go to the 20 Y.O. era. Once again no tour for anybody in America or overseas. Let's go to The Discipline era. It's now been 7yrs since you haven't toured for your fans. I think when the numbers for her tickets sales came out it showed her that although she's a Legend and Icon that her name can only do so much and ended up cancelling the tour. Now we're in 2010. By then her Legacy diminished so much she had to resort to going on American Idol to show the world she was still a bad bitch. The world seeing how great she was ended up buying her American Idol performance so much that it shot to no.1 on Itunes. Let me say it again, a performance on a tv show shot to no.1 on Itunes. I'd never heard of it before but Janet did it. Her and her team made a smart move which was to start a small intimate tour. We know it was done small on purpose to see how those tickets would do and rebrand her name and legacy. By the end of 2011 she ended up having a sold out tour that started with 35 dates and due to demand ended up with 71. Her legacy was up and running again. I'ma make this paragraph short. 2015 no Unbreakable tour for her fans overseas after cancelling. 2017 resumes tour with now new name "State of the World" and once again leaves her overseas fans out of the picture. We get to 2019 and we get the "Rhythm Nation 30th Anniversary Tour" and sorry but once again our fellow overseas fans are left out. 2020 and here it is about another Decade of her overseas fans not seeing her. Most of them gave up on her. Sad but a lot of them have stated so.

Vh1 was playing her stuff too. I'd often see Rock With U on that channel

I said the same thing and some fans are blaming it on her being blacklisted trying to say she was blacklisted for 10yrs. I had to correct them that she was blacklisted for about 5yrs. LA Reid got her back in good standings with MTV during the Discipline album and radio stations started playing "Feedback". This was in 2008 so yeah it wasn't 10yrs

Yeah I know Jimmy feel it sometimes too. Look what I just found out Sade doing for her fans. Releasing a box set. How long has it been since we've been trying to get the RN and janet. tour on dvd?

So damn sad to hear. I'm tweeting about it right now and i'ma @Jimmy. I hope he dont get mad but it's the truth. I remember that video about that 18yo boy. I need to know where it is cause i'ma tweet it and tag both Jimmy and Janet.

really?

I'd of never thought lipstick alley would be all up in here spying lol

oh fuck that place and fuck all the mods there, especially Mikel. I made it a vow to slap tf outta him if I ever met him lol

Janet definitely isn't running her own account all the time cause some of the stuff she be posting. I be like "um ok"

really? What forum? A forum for a different artist?
