Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Janet's team sucked at promoting period. Notice i'm not saying Janet, i'm saying her team. They don't know how to promote shitWe noticed. Despite Janet is the captain of her team.. It's like saying "Janet's choreography is lacking... I'm not saying Janet" BUT SHE LITERALLY APPROVES EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 i dont really expect anything anymore I guess its easy to not be upset then. I do feel for European fans, I mean I got to see the show and will probably see it again. If the tour and album is all we get, Im still really happy about those projects they're great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It dosen't excuse her lack of promotion, cancellations, and public performances. She proved she didn't need promo. If you're referring to Tour promo then that's another story. Per Gil: Wanna see her perform, buy a ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I do agree there!!! Hardcore fans are all she has right now so you can't just leave them hanging cause once people lose interest it usually stays lostno people come and go, they're fickle I saw this at the most recent Janet show, casual fans came back faces I didnt see before over the last decade came thru, Janet had/has an opportunity to engage those fans, shore up the fan base.

You don't create your own record label and sign distribution deals if you're not into it She was rushed? 7 years!!! 7 years we waited and she rushed into creating one of her two best albums of the early 2000s? She wasn't ready to tour? You're talking out your ass if you honestly think Janet is going to literally take advice from some random person NOT in the industry, then the joke's on you. She can listen without reacting. It's called "listening" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodienda76 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That's your opinion. The album alone is all I wanted. Anything else is extra. The tour isn't canceled though.. It's like you people are ignoring her performing her tour in Dubai this past weekend and The states & Japan less than 4 months ago wowDubai, Japan, and otherwise is irrelevant to those fans who bought tickets, and non refundable airfare to go see her live. Instead, they're left with low quality video, and shitty audio of the tour. That's why performances are important. Not just an album. Just because a minority are a fan of her powerhouse vocals, and an album is sufficient for you, that's not reality for the majority of her fans. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasSad Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 how is it that even when I make clear I don't expect janet to sell Adele numbers, it still gets picked on as that. I used Adele as an example to make the point that albums can still sell. I don't care if it's rare or if she's the only one. The point is a market for albums sales still exists. Janet hasn't even tried to locate a market, she's only aimed this album at hardcore fans, and they are the only ones who have bought it. But what that has caused has actually meant alienation of her hardcore fans, because they haven't got any visuals or personality. Janet is a visual artist. Same way Michael was.. My point is, an album by a visual artist like janet needs visuals, just as much now in 2016 as before . The problem with the lack of promotion and engagement is that her "market" mostly is not on twitter, IG, or Facebook. She has fans that are the same age or older than her and alot of these people still rely on TV, radio and magazines to get their info. Only a small potion of her fans are on social media. Janet doesn't have the backing of a record label. You should have known that from day ONE. You dont need the backing of a record label to talk to fans. She proved she didn't need promo. If you're referring to Tour promo then that's another story. Per Gil: Wanna see her perform, buy a ticketWhere was this proven. Per Europe: No Promo, Low Sales Cancelled. You wanna run that by me again on how logical your statements are. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you defending their issues like it's yours Im not understanding your logic. Let me get this straight...: A televised performance will heal European fans So they can download some shit quality, 4 minute performance and that'll make their money reappear and their disappointment go away? Idk.. Sounds like you, an American with actual dates, is only thinking about yourself But I don't worry about people I don't know. My date was postponed until August. I don't see you crying over it #AllDatesMatterbut seriously.. We all (aside from the few trolls on here) should appreciate the magic Janet has gave us over the past year... She didn't have to..

I give a crap for many reasons. She has cancelled Philly twice, and I'm expecting her to do it again. What goes on in Europe can be a reflexion of what may happen here in tbe states.

You're more concern over a pointless performance. Want to see her perform? Buy a ticketThat's a negative way of looking at her tour and I cannot be apart of that. It's actually a stupid thing to say.. One could argue "what happened in The States/Dubai/Japan may happen there in Europe".

I'm not happy with the era, and nothing you say or do is going to change that. The only one that can change that is Janet. Not your kiss ass excuses.
