    You received an email from?

    From Juliens Auctions. I guess I signed up years ago

    This is the same thing I was thinking. I would want to commemorate my achievements. So I'm not giving away my plaques. :lol:

    Right? I’m a hoarder anyway but plaques I’d never get rid of. Unless she has multiple copies and she’s getting rid of the spares? I’m not sure how they work 

  2. I went through all the items as I got an email that it was now live and the music video outfits made me emotional, especially LWNDWY

     

    but what surprises me is she’s selling all her plaques too. Like gold/platinum plaques. I understand having a clear out but why your achievements? Are they just material things to her? I mean I guess it doesn’t take the records away and maybe she’s comfortable knowing she’s achieved them without having to look at the plaques ? 

  3. Who remembers him? Long term member of the forum from London. I just found out that he died last year and I’m annoyed and angry that I didn’t know. I was thinking of him today and thought I’d go to his Facebook to see what he’s been up to and message him but then I saw a lot of rest in peace messages on his wall from April 2019. I literally was speaking to him in March that year and we were trying to meet up. I have no idea what happened but I’m shocked.

  4. I’m shocked at you not seeing Poetic Justice just because it’s so big to music culture history, isn’t it? 
     

    I can’t think tbh. I guess I should say I don’t know what the second half of 20YO sounds like because I skip 

  5. I still own mine! I had a purge years ago And regret getting rid but I still have a substantial collection!

    I rarely buy new CD’s unless it’s an artist I really like. Last CD I bought was Lover by Taylor Swift. Before that it was probably Mariah Carey’s Caution.

  6. I just can’t see it because of how short the set list would have been. I can’t see her performing songs from the first two albums. But then in the 80s was it normal to tour with a short setlist? Theatres would be been cute I guess as a sort of “introduction”. A “I’m Janet let me show you what I can do” word of mouth type thing. Not a full blown out tour but like a small little House of Blues one night special kind of show with like 5/6 dates where it was all word of mouth. Kind of like how new artists do it today. 

    I feel like the control tour would have been successful in the US but not that much globally. Touring during Rhythm Nation was perfect. Her cards/planets were aligned and it became the cultural moment it became in a way it might not have had there been a Control tour.

    Girls Make Beats Remix! I'd get it just for that remix. Damn! It's kind of hilarious how they admitted to screwing up the release, and when I sent them an email saying why is there no vinyl nor anything they replied with some meme and ridiculed the issue. Now that the reissued albums have proven to be successful they're rushing in to make some cash lmao. I truly hope Janet changes labels again. 

    Who did you email?

    Depends on the forums tbh 😂 we've had a couple of delusional people back in the day on JJ. Com. Not to mention Janet xone where you almost get banned if you say you don't like the color of her nail polish 👀

    We aren't nearly as bad as the hive, the carbs or the archeologists though. 

    I know archeologists is Madonna stans but who are the carbs? :lmao:

    Based on sales of previous albums + promotion of current album 

     

    clearly they didnt anticipate a blacklisting 

     

    it would be interesting to see where Janet’s career would’ve gone had she not been blacklisted

    Fair enough. 

    I personally always thought there was more of a blacklist with 20 YO. MTV still played her videos until DJ era was over as far as I remember. But it was so long ago that I can’t remember much.
