Don't Blame The Superbowl

Filed under: Janet Jackson

mx0088241.jpg

"I think it was the music," Janet Jackson explains candidly why she thinks her last two albums failed to connect.

"The albums weren’t right," she added.

Her new CD, though, is poised to impact in a big way!

    Of course it was the music.Janet hasn't made a great album since Rhythm Nation.People are sick of her whispery voice,singing about sex all the time.How many times can she talk about her vagina? That's why those albums didn't sell.I really don't think her new CD is gonna do much better.People are tired of the Jacksons.

    Right. It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Janet has a five-note range and her music is so 80's and so studio. Girl lip-synchs farts. Nobody cares anymore. But she DOES look good.

    'People are tired of the Jacksons' what a STUPID thing to say. Some of the Jacksons are the BIGGEST legends we will ever see. Like the Jackson Five! Michael Jackson is by far the MOST talented person alive. His great.

    JANET, YES IT WAS THE MUSIC. WITH YOU IT HAS BEEN THE MUSIC ALL ALONG, YOU HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD RECORD SINCE "JANET" IN '92. IS TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE A PAGE FROM THE MADONNA MUSIC BOOK, AND LEARN A NEW SOUND AND FIND YOURSELF NEW WRITERS AND PRODUCERS, JIMMY JAM & TERRY LEWIS ARE THE "8 TRACKS" OF MUSIC, SURE ONCE UPON A TIME THEY SOUNDED GOOD AND WERE A GREAT IDEA, BUT GIRL THEY WENT OUT OF STYLE DECADES AGO, ALONG WITH THAT SOUND YOU'VE BEEN USING SINCE 1986.

    please, it wasnt the music. janet just doesnt connect with anyone these days. she's washed up. her album comes out in like 2 weeks and theres no promo for it and the single is a flop. her time is over. she should just realize it and move on.

  22. Chaos says – reply to this


    22

    Janet is OVER.The first single "Feedback" went nowhere.That's why they're rushing out a new single "Luv" but that's gonna flop.too.The album is gonna bomb.Have you noticed that there is no promo for it? She's not even out there,promoting it. That's a bad sign.The album will be released in a few weeks,and most people don't even know about it.

    Janet is so modest can,t help but like her. Janet has done good music throughout her career last 2 albums was not strong but she did have a few potential hits on both ie spendin time with u, Islands, allnite don,t stop, Excited and enjoy. Both albums was not marketed right and I am more inclined to think that, since the superbowl incident her career has taken a nosedive. Why is Justin Timberlake music hyped so much as he was also the major part of the incident Can,t wait for discipline her music is very much apreciated in Europe there is only one janet.

    Whoa - profoundly deep insight there Janet! Naw - I think it was the CD case - it just wasn't shiny enough - the security tapes were really hard to get off and the shrink-wrap made the plastic warp - yeah, that's it - that's why it didn't sell.

    Re: Becky * – You don't wanna face reality,but the public IS sick and tired of the Jacksons.They're so played out and irrelevent.Michael is going around molesting little boys,Janet is exposing her boobs on the SuperBowl while hiding her secret daughter from the world,Jermaine is busy sleeping with his brother's wife,LaToya is walking around with a million pounds of make-up on her face,Joe Jackson is busy cheating on his poor wife,and on and on.They're a creepy family with alot of skeletons in their closet.Nobody cares about this dysfunctional family anymore.

    OMG
    It had nothing to do with the music, them las ttwo albums were hott.
    It has everything to do with the fact that after the superbowl she was blacklisted and even her own record company didn't want to promote the album.
    Even today she is still having a hard time getting back on radio, and it certainlt is not the music this time around. It's called pay for play and I guess my girl is not paying.
    Kudos to Janet.
    I can't waut til the 26th
    That shit it gonna be the best yet, and for those who don't buy it YOUR JUST MISSING OUT
    HATERS HATE, JANET'S THE QUEEN OF POP/DANCE.
    LOVE YOU JANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, it's the music. The downfall of music is easy to trace. All innocence is gone — think of the 1950's #1 hit song, "How much is that doggie in the window?" Or think of the 1890's hit, "She's only a bird in a gilded cage". All mentality is gone — think of the symphonies of the classical era. All spirituality is gone — think of the Saint Matthew Passion by Bach. There isn't much music left now, as Janet Jackson seems to have noticed.

    Why did her last 2 albums tank…..because she bared her breast on live television and outraged families watching the Super Bowl!!!!

  31. Please rethink your statement, dipstick says – reply to this


    31

    Uh, it wasn't the music either honey. It's Janet Jackson. She's just lame now. So I wonder who the janet fanatics will blame now when this album bombs (and it will) since Jermaine didn't have control over the project. Remember when "Feedback" was supposed to be huge…yeah right. She's weak.
    Janet honey, you're done. You were done back in the 90's. It's over.

    Re: Slimjim1814 – Guess what? The ENTIRE WORLD knows about the Jackson scandals.It's no big mystery,dumbass! Michael is the world's most famous child molester.Even if you're living under a rock,you would still hear about their scandals.

    Again, fuck this stupid fucking whore. She's a hasbeen and caused all of us in radio and media a HUGE fucking headache. Too bad her Superbowl stunt didn't end her career as it has many of my entertainment friends' careers.

    Perez, please… her new CD sounds like it's going to be even more dissapointing than the two previous ones…

    No no JJ!! Those are excellent albums, with amazing tracks. Everything she does is quality. Take a look at "all night" on you tube or "so excited" they are some hot singles. Then she had some awesome tracks such as Enjoy & "with you" off 20 Y.O. and "truly and "Sexhibition" off Damita Jo. "The music industry is fucked up, and some of my favorite albums never made it to the top of the charts like Mandy Moore new album "wild hope" or butch Walkers "the rise and fall of butch walker and the let's go out tonites".

    Fox News got their facts wrong again. 20YO was the flop, not "janet" And I agree with Janet, you can't blame the Super Bowl. Those albums were good, but just not up to her standards — plus they had Jermaine Dupri's dirty fingerprints all over it. Everything I've heard leaked from the new album is HOT and Janet is truly back. Here is a list of all of her hit singles, just to remind everyone…

    JANET IS OVER.SHE SHOULD JUST BECOME A PORN STAR,OR GO TO VEGAS AND WORK AT ONE OF THOSE TOPLESS JOINTS.IT'S OBVIOUS THAT SHE WANTS THE WORLD TO SEE HER TITS.EVEN AFTER THE SUPERBOWL STUNT,SHE WAS POSING ON MAGAZINES AND CD COVERS WITH HER BOOBS ALL OUT,TEASING EVERYBODY.WHY TEASE? JUST TAKE IT OFF,ONCE AND FOR ALL,AND LET US SEE IT.

    JANET IS NOT ABOUT MUSIC ANYMORE.THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO HER ARE HER ORGASMS.I WONDER IF HER SMALL-DICKED,MIDGET LOVER IS SATISFYING HER IN BED?
