The superbowl in itself did not ruin her career.

The way the incident was handled and the cnsequent management decisions and music releases did her in.

Ppl can bounce back from ANYTHIN. Ppl just want to jam. At the end of the day, less than 5 ppl actually gave a fuck about the tit poppin out...

I just wished Janet had went overseas to build attention over there. Instead she just languished in America.

Besides people overseas just rolled their eyes over the news like "so what?" Even the UK would've helped matters if she had went over there (after 2004 where she did have two UK top 20 hits with "Damita Jo" and that album did go silver there). Instead like I said it seemed like as the Super Bowel incident overshadowed her career, it just got worse and worse. I do think it played a big pivotal role in how her career tanked but I think her decisions afterwards made it impossible to make a comeback. True, she did go #1 with the last album but Def Jam didn't think of promoting it.

Sorry, hun. That ish destroyed her career. If you were a fan around the time it happened you would know how it hurt Janet We still can't get on her radio. If "Feedback" didn't get on radio. I don't know what will

They're not going to play a 43 year old, black, female pop star on Clear Channel radio besides those Classic R&B stations (smaller audience) every once in awhile.

Sorry

Ch.....

I know

I was responding to sleepq saying "anyone can bounce back". I assume by bouncing back he meant through all outlets. Radio being one. It ain't happenin'

Timmy84 said:

I'd say Halle's breakthrough role(performance wise) was Losing Isaiah.

Granted, she's a fine actress but she get to play these boring predictable roles, Jack, I mean

I'm VERY intrested in her upcoming film where she plays a woman with a personality disorder though.

what about mariah? she's 40 and gets played.

midiscover said:

Not with radio, not now...

But in 2006 with 20 YO, she could have. As I said, her time has passed, and her chances r up. The mistakes have already been made.

... she can just keep releasing music and touring regularly for her fans now. Nobody really sells anything these days anyway...

Thats a good joke, Tony

cborgman said:

What about her?

Did she have her tit exposed for billions of people? I don't think so.

Harlepolis said:

Quietly as it's kept we aren't supposed to love each other either.

SCNDLS said:

aside from a few tv episodes, she barely worked from 87 to 92

trueiopian said:

what does that have to do with being 43, black, female, and getting played?

sleepyq said:

If she can't now, how could she in 2006? Lets be reasonable. In 2006, Janet had top-notch promotion from Virgin but not through radio because they know radio wouldn't play her. So they utitlized the media of publication. She was on every magazine cover imaginable. "Call on Me" was a hit on Urban radio and did well. Pop radio isn't accepting so I don't think she can garner that audience again. Janet's time has not passed. She's still doing her thing. Janet obviously doesn't give a fuck about impressing listeners our whatever so

Harlepolis said:

And even in "Isaiah" she was overshadowed by Glenn Close and that boy that played her abandoned child.

cborgman said:

Mariah isn't black.

midiscover said:

she says she is.
