Even people who aren't Janet fans are talking about it. Some say they aren't fans but that they like her music or just like her in general.

Angela Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I actually think she should’ve had three nights because there’s so much to cover tomorrow. But it’s very well done. I found the commentary of her dad to be very protective than I would’ve expected but that was her father. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuspendedMars Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The commentary about firing her dad and gaining her independence and Control….it felt like a superhero origin story, bitch watching that segment really had me thinking Janet could fly.

jinthahouse Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 you know its kinda hard being surprised throughout the entire doc because ive always been that superfan to read on the intricate interviews of people close to her so I kinda knew for example that rene is kind of an ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I just want to cry, to be alive, to be here, to be able to enjoy another chapter in the life of Janet Jackson, whom I love so much, just so much, but I can't help but cry, because it brings me so much joy, we waited so long for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Watched part 1, just finished, its beautifully shot, the enormity of the eras is visually present. Janet seems very contemplative, the nostalgia is kinda missing, I don't hear the excitement from her, she's more pensive about the past and relationships etc. I was moved to tears when she spoke on James, that really got me. I found the pace of the documentary to be somewhat satisfying, but in all honesty how do you cover all the cultural impact she has had in 4 hours? I don't know how you can, it feels like another 2 hours could be spent showing her impact on other artists, but it's not there as of yet, her impact on black women, and culture. Janet's story encompasses so much more. So far overall I'm mostly happy she did this, it's not her style to open up and share, so I dont expect her to be too candid, about the entertainment business, or her interactions within the industry, in this sense the story remains true to Janet, she's a class act. there's no one like her and no one ever will be.

Mr. Wonder Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I watched the first part. Skipped right over all the nonsense and started with the Good Times segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinthahouse Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 JANET GONNA RETIRE? She said at the end of the documentary that she wants to focus on being a mother and that she wants to go out to a huge bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a weird clip to end on. She's obviously ramping Black Diamond back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 she really honored Michael, so his fans can have several seats. I think it was a well-done documentary, she could release an extended version for fans. The second part did a lot more of what I wanted to see as a fan, show the public what she's done and achieved. Thank You Janet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I heard "Luv I Luv" it sounds like Michael to a degree, reminds me of "You Rock My World" I can't give much more of an opinion because haven't heard the whole song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibeology Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The ending of the doc felt so bittersweet. So happy for her but this really reminded us how long she has been in the game for. So yeah we wont be getting those full blown music eras but maybe she will go into TV/film production like she has always wanted. But I MUST see her live one more time in my life, hopefully in the UK. I really enjoyed the Rene footage and I assume they must be on some kind good terms since she had access to it. It was also good hear both her and Jermaine confirm the reason for the breakup. It was a big suprise to hear her say that her and Justin are on good terms and still speak!!! Hopefully everyone can put it to rest now. My only disappointment was not discussing the Wissam years, but I somewhat expected that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
