JANET fans crash MTV forums..

Just read this over on the Janet-xone forums..

JANET fans shut down the mtv forums for a few hours due to a backlash of not playing her new video "Call On Me"...

Aired on BET yesterday and as of yet MTV has refused to play it.

I dont about y'all but this is PLAIN OL' disrespect at it's rawest!!

This is the same woman who revolutionized the video w/ Rhythm Nation, The Pleasure Principle, If, Runaway..and on and on. For more then 20yrs..and this is the thanks she gets.

I say we swarm there boards and shut that shit down for as long as possible!!!

This is Justin's chance to make up for his big mess-up.
He should join Janet...say he doesn't want the MTV play unless they play her too.

I love what her fans did. Makes me want to sign up too.

Same. I saw that one on YouTube. So MTV is becoming less and less of a factor, anyway. This is the time when fan/public loyalty means everything but those that think they are invincible, never get this. They'll soon be obsolete because of these very stunts.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Exactly why shut down a forum, which in reality has nothing to do with MTV; its just some website outsourced, cause they dont play a video.

Like MTV plays videos anyway.

Hell in this day and age its almost better to NOT be played on MTV.

But when this cd doesnt do as well as all the fans think it will, you've got your scapegoat.

Hmmm maybe thats how the JJ fans circle their wagons.


oh btw cause i can.

I really love a good protest, but i don't think it matters whether MTV plays it or not in terms of sales of her album. She's going to do very well with or without them.

But of course it's wrong to ban one of the key artists of MTV, that's just pathetic.

I'm down with the idea but if we're to do it for Janet, then why not do it for other artists in the same boat as Janet, even for Prince? Whatever the deal, good luck to everyone who participates in this.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Flooding MTV's forums is not gonna get you jacksh*t, they will just delete them all & ban your account. Ya'll did the same thing during the "Damita Jo" era & got no results. You are just wasting your time.

I just find it ironic that 3 or 4 years ago they dedicated an episode of MTV icon to her and now they're banning her. What the fuck is up with that?

Janet was the first ever MTV Icon winner. Is MTV applying that she's nothing now?
