msboz Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) here u go chuuren http://onenation.livenation.com/blog/janet-jackson-takes-you-behind-the-scenes-of-dammn-baby?st=twitter Janet is actually speaking and being interactive and involved with the creative process. She is def having fun and its a great sneak peak of her and the team in action. She def still has a big team of gays around here which I love to see. THIS is the kind of stuff we should have gotten to see more off in regards to the album, tour, promotion and etc....It is beyond me why we don't get more good stuff like this. Anyways you guys will love this Edited May 7, 2016 by msboz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackCat1989 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I loved watching this. I always love to see Janet giving direction. Make no mistake she is the one in CONTROL. She looks genuinely happy. This video made me happy but it also made me sad. I want more of this Janet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreelovesJJ Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Some of the stuff she advised felt like minor details. I mean no disrespect but she was advising how the girl with blonde should have blond eyebrows, side eye, and then Allison's hair. BUT I noticed when she was talking about the boots she said this is "what he wanted" - in reference to Gil. Also, Luther mentioned she would ask what vibe she needed to be in & how she needed to do it? Then he gave her the direction. Lastly, Whyley who is really good people kinda showed me that when they were doing the choreo it was done with a very "gay" flare that they felt looked good on them, but idk that Janet translates those moves with that same vibe. Watch Whyley at the end doing the choreo based on how he feels it & when they're performing & go watch Janet. Part of me feels like that's something that stunts Janet's growth with dancing. Their moves & attitude they add in does not always transcend into her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's sexy on her; and I don't think it really works. Don't get me wrong though, I still love the video...

The Sacred Prostitute Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Ok. It transcends to Janet exactly how she wants to perform it. She doesn't have to mimic exactly what they are showing her. I don't think it's campy at all when Janet performs it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreelovesJJ Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I don't think it comes off campy when Janet does it either but I do think somethings comes off lackluster & sometimes just recycled. I think she will always add her own to it but that's why it should gel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were just showing Janet the dancer's hair and she commented on it but if Janet didn't like it they would have changed it. I'm not sure what your rant is suppose to prove? Janet trusts Gil and Luther (her entire crew) with their job responsibilities. Micro-managing her team is not the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffjan Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I'm gonna have to agree with the previous posts about the gayness in Janet's choreography. I miss the Tina and Shawnette choreo. It was more fluid and sensual. All of this head snapping and voguing doesn't suit Janet best. BUT, she can still pull it off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what your rant is suppose to prove? Janet trusts Gil and Luther (her entire crew) with their job responsibilities. Micro-managing her team is not the way to goIdk why you felt your response was necessary. Proving wasn't the intent, but showing was the result. If you felt as if something was delivered in a proof way, it must have been to some argument you posed that went unnoticed. Like I've said many of times, it's VERY obvious that Janet has leaned heavily on her teams direction & in my personal opinion it stifles her creative growth. Gil is a great person, loyal, & I'm sure even really cool people...his creative influence has been less than epic, and quite underwhelming at times. Micro-managing is not the equivalent of being heavily influential. IF Janet doesn't like something OF COURSE they will change and alter it, the push back just seems to be minimal & a few times the results reflect it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
