Do Over!

Filed under: Janet Jackson > Music Minute

janet.jpg

Wow. This is rare. An artist admitting they were wrong…and doing something about it!

Janet Jackson is unhappy with her video for Rock With U.

So???

She's doing it over again!

Miz Jackson does not heart the clip so her record label, Island Def Jam, held crisis talks all weekend long with the vid's director, Saam Farahmand, to sort the shizz out!!!

Farahmand was given 24 hours to pitch new ideas for a 'make good' video and instructed to have a shoot ready for this coming weekend.

It is believed that this is the primary reason why the original Rock With U video has been pulled from music channels BET, VH1 and MTV.

We agree with Janet. The Rock With U video could be lots better. The dance sequences aren't bad. But, overall we felt like a sober person trapped in a party filled with people high on E. And you know how stupid intoxicated people look when you are sober!

Janet deserves beyond brilliant!

Update: It was an April Fool's prank.

Lame!

      I kinda like that video.

      Even if it was all dark like "All Night".

      And "So Excited".

      Maybe she can wear a sequined sparkle suit, like Michael does in HIS "Rock WIth You".

      wow nothin' is gonna save that tired video! I wasted my money on that cd. Boy it is one constant BOREFEST! The only good or should I say half decent songs r feedback and rock with…she looks like a freakin alien in this pic, the flip through for the cd, she looks hot. I'm scratching my head. Janet was a leader. Now, she just seems boring and a poor, childish writer. The lyrics sound like they were written by a 16 year old. While artist's age and have an insight and write about them, Janet lives in a "Jackson Freak Bubble".

      I loved the video lol! And song. Its cool she's doing another though, I hope the song does better and does what it deserves.

    23. janet was over when she started says – reply to this


      23

      if this is true this is why Janet is such a boring artist. every one knows madonna is fully in charge of her carreer and as an artist uses everything that has or is happening to her to create a video or album. when she read memiores of a geisha she decided her video for nothing really matteres would pay homage to that book, when she saw metropolis she made express yourself and put ion more money then her record label was willing to pay just so that the video looked amazing. janet has people deciding what she will look like, what her videos will look like and there fore she creates boring art. nothing is personal nothing makes you want to know more about her. you can be an artist and have poeple write your songs- celine dion does it but celine has a voice with at least three octives. janets awful head vioce is just really bad and we can't keep listening to the same song over and over again.

      Good for J! So refreshing to see an artist who's still that - AN ARTIST! We should never settle for anything less than our best when it comes to our work.
      And see - she's getting exposure to millions around the world via perezhilton.com. Unlike Sony BMG artists!!!

      I LOVED the video…I could understand why the public wasn't big on it because with many of her videos it was very unlit and hard to see but i thought the dance moves were so awesome and original. I think the public is gonna wanna see something bubbly and bright like her All For You video..

    37. I hope says – reply to this


      37

      I hope that you are joking. There was nothing wrong with the original. If anything she should re-do the Feedback video. That one was horrible except for the end.

      As if wasting a shit load of money on a video and then deciding to throw it a way like a disgruntled child tosses away a crayon drawing is an accomplishment? It is nothing but a pathetic lack of communication between Janet's team and her joke of a record label. How will L.A. Reid find more money for the new video? By fire more people who actually know what they're doing, then give himself a raise for being such a clueless idiot. Good for you, Janet- you over-the-hill-out-of-touch-spoiled-no-talent.

      Why waste the time in another video. The song has so much potential, great beat, the only thing that ruins it, is Janet. Her voice is too soft and she sings the song too slow. Just sing janet, sing!

      It was an april fools joke. It's not being reshot, thank god, cuz why spend the money for another video to a song that has no chance in the US. Perhaps this will do well in Europe. It's got that European sound going on.

      65

      Evertime I watched the video I thought that it could be better. I think the dancing was great. The outfits and scenery were over the top. I think she would look sexier in a wife beater and jeans and make it sort of "Pleasure Principle-ish" Plus the hair was horrible. But I love every song I've heard off the album so far.

      Janet is still setting trends and maintaining a very successful career. Her CD is off the HOOK!!!! Her single is way better than that garbage Madonna his out with that fake ass mofo Justin Timberlake. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK MADONNA! Your old ass doing a duet with him? You should have learned from Janet's mistake in singing with him at the Super Bowl. Everyone wants to harp on Janet for having just her nose done but no one seems to mind that Madonna's face is being stretched more and more each time she releases an album.

      Wow- what a funny joke! L.A.Reid must of thought of that one all by himself- how can I make the people who work for me look like idiots while taking credit for their talent?! I know- I'll fire everyone who has the brains to know I'm a fraud!!!! I'll also think up an April Fool's joke that 1)isn't funny 2)Makes the video's director look bad 3)makes my talent look like an out of touch Whacko….wait, L.A. Reid couldn't have thought that up because the man has no brains…

      There was nothing wrong with the original video but I still suspect that Janet is not getting her own input. Her videos will always ROCK to me, she is the first true video icon who has set the standard for music video I just look at all her previous videos and know that they are all first class and she is the leader not the follower…
