Janet sucks, so does her new music, she and her fucked up brothers need to go away and stop pretending they give a shit! Long Live the True Queen of Pop! Madonna!!!

I'd be embarassed to be a GRANDMAdonna or Mental Mimi fan - nothing but a bunch of childish little girls and bitchy gay guys who are obsessed with their idols to the point that have to trash other successful women. And what's the old hag Madonna or the fruit loop Mariah got to do with Janet? You dumb ass people are always comparing all of them when they all are totally different artists. I swear, grow up!

Re: UGH – feed back sounding like a briteny song?How desprate are you Briteny fans?Briteny does not even have a sound that stands out or one that she can claim.I understand that you despately wan't the girl off crack,and what ever little mind she had before it,restored,but really you people soud as crazy and as stupid as she is! I don't care how may cd's she sold.She in not talented!And she didn't sell her cd's by being a talented artist!The white media who talk about her daily have done that.Who do you think you are fooling?And NO ONE will top the sells of"Thriller",the biggest selling record of all time!!!!Keep dreaming!..lol..

lmao i swear most u ppl on here are a bunch of worthless losersssssssssssss….. i swear.. who cares if shes in her 40's and is continuing to work… i mean last i heard most ppl retire when there in there 60's and 70's…. and all the name callin is totally uncalled for.. Janet hasnt doen anything to any of you but supply us and the world with great shows and entertainmrnt. like i said earlier she is one artist who doesnt bother anyone.. she stays to herself and keeps her personal life private.. shes an artist and a entertainer and she has paid her dues.. and success doesnt equal how many units your album sales… she wants to continue to release music for her millions of fans… and thats her right… but u ppl need to get a life and be a little nicer with your words and calm all your hatered and jeolously and anger down… and again janet doesnt release her music for the money but just for the love of the game and for her fans… she has more than enough money being the 8th richest woman in the entertainment industry.. i mean shes a bank owner for god sake.. on top of being a great artist she a great business woman also who knows how to invest her profit wisely.. and still manages to keep it private…. hmmmmm that sounds like a winner to me……

Britney is washed face it, sad but true. madonna is old, face it sad but true. please stop comparing janet to white trash its senseless. She has been around 20+ YRS and is probably the same age as some of your mothers , do they look like that? no we are indistructable people. you cant hurt a megastar with hatred, there would be no jacksons without it

britney fans and janet fans should be at peace. um britney and janet dont have beef why should we? they both talented but its fact that blackout sold more in the 1st week and perez referred to it as a flop which is unfair

congrats janet
LoveT says – reply to this

217

Face it folks,Janet is OVER.Her new CD sold less than 200,000 in its first week.That is a "flop".It's gonna sell even less in the next few weeks so when all is said and done,it probably won't even reach platinum status,at least not here in the States.It'll be out of the Top 10 in a few weeks.This is her third flop album in a row.What is it they say….three strikes you're out? The world has moved on.People are sick and tired of the Jacksons.They're tired of Janet's tiny, whispery voice,singing about her vagina all the time.It's PLAYED OUT! She must have known this CD was gonna flop.That's why she's not doing much promotion for it.The first single "Feedback" went nowhere.Time to hang it up,Janet.

Re: Madonna Rules huh? – Say what you want,but I bet that Madonna's new CD will sell more than 178,000 copies in its first week.Her album will also be a bigger worldwide hit than Janet's latest flop.And if both ladies tour in the fall (as its been rumored),guess which tour is gonna be more successful?

Congrats for 178k?? Kelly Clarkson- My December sold more than 100,000 more than that in it's first week and you deemed it a failure. See how you twist those stats

223

Congrats janet. i am a massive fan and u are an amazing woman
Rreedy says – reply to this

224

Bet it doesn't sell more than 200,000 units. Here's the problem: SHE CAN'T SING! Her voice has no power @ all..it's all backup singers and synthetic percussion. Good try but Janet, you're over the hill…too many great singers around. You should stick to church singing.
K-luv says – reply to this

225

Re: shaun verdun – Shaun, I agree. Janet has by far earned her place in the music arena. If she still wants to do what she loves to do, more power to her. Congrats Janet! Some of you people are spewing toxic negativity. What a miserable bunch.

Well, we are 178,000 sheep out there. Any more going to step in line? Janet was instrumental in damaging YOUR 1st amendment rights. Boycott Janet!!!!!

227

Why not more airplay for real music instead of what any one can make at home with a pc, u know like tmbaland is doin en pharrel…the retarded kids of this lost generation want extremely simplified beats and childrens rhymes and sleezy sighs in overdub.I think every woman gets the man she deserves and every generation their music,cos that reflects who they r and like.Oh boy I think it`s called DOWNHILL…..sigh. Or am I wrong.GRTZ from amsterdam europe.
GET A CLUE says – reply to this

228

For all of you crying about Britney selling more on her opening week, you guys need to get a clue. Britney's music sold because of publicity and also she appeals more to the Hanna Montana/Teeny Booper croud so of corse she's going to sale more on her opening week. You guys need to quit hating on Janet. She did very well considering her new music is hardly getting airplay. Say what you want about the Jacksons, but they are legends! Name another artist that can re-release and 25 year old album and have it still go to number 1 the way Michael just did with Thriller. You guys are so jealous and a lot of this is racially motivated. Face it- The Jacksons paved the way for people Madonna, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears and they have been stealing from them for years!! You people need to get a clue and get over it! The Jacksons are here to stay!! Go JANET!!!!
Thank U says – reply to this

Re: yoseph –

Thank you for putting that out there. Madonna's fans suck and they know it!! That's why they always feel the need to bash Janet because they feel so threatened….LOL

Janet & Madonna says – reply to this

231

Madonna: No one's telling you how to live your life but it's a set up until you're fed up. It's no good when you're misunderstood but why should I care what the world thinks of me or let a stranger give me a social disease….

Janet: You peek in the shadow! Come into the light! You tell me I'm wrong then you better proove you're right. You keep selling out souls, but I care about mine. I've got to get stronger and I wont give up the fight!

Because of my gender I've heard no too many times. Because of my race I've heard no too many times, But with every no I grow in strenght. That is why African-American woman
I stand tall with pride. You want to know what it takes to rid yourself of me now. There's nothing you can do! Accept me for who I am now!

Janet & Madonna: Listen to the music people and GROW UP!
JANET FLOODED MY TV SCREEN YET COULDNT OUTSELL BRITNEY?!?!!!? says – reply to this

232

seems like the Britney hater's are in mucho denial. Britney sold over 100,000 more with zero promotion and don't say tabloids count b/c those are anything BUT positive toward selling an album.

Britney sold MORE than that and you labeled it a FAILURE. Jordin Sparks sold about the same and you LABEL HER A FAILURE.

It's a great CD, full of hit songs.
Tobby says – reply to this

I think Janet wants longevity with this album, not just huge first week numbers and then a cd that's no where to be found in it's second week.

Soundscan said the album sold 182,000 copies last week.

It's her 6th #1 debuting album, which ties her with Madonna.
Please says – reply to this

243

Re: NY –

Please, Janet has already sold over 100 million albums world wide. She doesn't have to sale any more if she don't want to and she sure as hell don't need the money. She could buy and sale all of your haters.
So dumb! says – reply to this

Re: JANET FLOODED MY TV SCREEN YET COULDNT OUTSELL BRITNEY?!?!!!? –

What are you-12? Britney has sold nowhere near as many albums as Janet has and she never will. Get a life and get your facts straight!

You people are losers!! Can't you just relax and let someone enjoy their success without having to compare them to others?!?!?!?!?!
Janet, Madonna, Britney, Mariah…all are reall different!

Get a life losers!

Congrats to anyone who has the balls to take on the American music industry

simintel says – reply to this

248

I think it is soooo funny that you are commending a sale of 170,000 as a great accomplishment for a woman of janet's status…if kelly clarkson sold that little in her first week…which i will remind you she sold OVER 100,000 MORE copies…you called it the biggest failure of the year…

Just wanted to drop a little not to commend you on your consistencies, Perez…you are a dousche…
NickGrant says – reply to this

249

She had another Album that came out in either '06 or '07 named 20 YO. So you got it wrong Perez, 2001's All For You was not her last album!
ruchella says – reply to this

250

Discipline may not have a HUGE debut, but it will be around for a while. There are alot of great songs, so it won't be going away for a while. I think it'll be like Fergie's The Dutchess. Didn't debut with massive numbers, but it's still got singles coming out 2 years later. F U Haters!

And I LOVE Madonna, but seriously, come on. Using Timberlake/Timbaland? Kinda desperate, don't u think? Even though 4 minutes is HOT, I find it a little desperate for her to stay relevant, whereas Janet doesn't need to work with what's trendy. Janet makes music for her fans, because likes to, not because she NEEDS to, like Madonna.
Mikey says – reply to this

251

This woman has nothing to prove anymore, she’s had her great success. I mean nowadays people like Diana, Stevie, Patti, Aretha, etc they are legends in the game and they aren’t releasing albums to sell big numbers or prove anything to anybody. They’re releasing them because they want to and those that enjoy the music will buy the music and those that don’t should just shut up and keep it moving.
Mikey says – reply to this

252

Nobody stays number one forever, so just because Janet is no longer at the level of success that she was in the 80s and 90s and early 2000 that means she should just stop doing what she loves, cause people on this website and others are saying she needs to quit? Since when did you become her manager? And just like I said before, for this woman to have been around for as long as she had and people still pay attention to her at the level they still do, that’s saying something. The fact that Larry King is still interested in interviewing her for the entire hour I mean look at the positives and stop looking at the negatives. People are always looking at the glass being half empty instead of half full and we need to stop that shit.
BITTER says – reply to this

253

If she could sing, maybe I'd like her more. But her voice is like Diana Ross', so frail, birdlike and limited in range, anyone could sing those songs. She's always been about VIDEOS….people are realizing that. What sounds cute and girlish at 20 doesn't sound good at 42.

She's gonna end up like Diana, minus the crotchfruit.

Hey Perez, You were so mean to Kelly Clarkson when her album debuted at #2 and now you are hyping up Janet for her #1, but you fail to notice that in Kelly's first week, she sold over 100,000 more copies….. how about them apples.
