Funny, I was thinking about Janet the other day. I forgot what spurned the thought but I was wondering what Jan was up to. She and Jermaine were everywhere prior to the release and the first few weeks, now I don't even catch wind of her at a post award party or at jogging down the street.

Can we declare the 20 YO era dead?

isn't she supposed to be going on tour soon?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the "20 Y.O." era is dead, but Janet needs to come with some more refreshing. For onr thing, the oversexed image has been done to death. She's on the new cover of "V" magazine wearing some funky headdress and holding her tittyballs! It's like... okay Janet... you love your tits! Let's move on!

If she really wanna keep it real, do a damn reality TV show. Hey... it's working for LaToya and Jermaine right now!

I haven't heard that term in over a decade.

I heard a guy recently complaining about her constantly showing her breasts/cleavage. Now you know when a straight man doesn't want to see your boobs anymore, something's amiss.

She loves her tits.She loves sex.She loves to have an orgasm.We got the point,Janet

The project was doomed from the beginning.Unless Janet goes in a new direction,gets a new image and a new sound,she won't have too much success in the future.People aren't gonna keep buying the same album over and over.

I found this and had to clutch my sides since I remember walking down the street and passing some people staring at this mag in a store window saying almost the exact same thing....

Oh, Miss Jackson. (I guess we better call her Miss Jackson, since I'm about to get nasty:)

Actually, I guess I can call you "Janet," since I don't really blame you for this monstrosity. I mean, you didn't style the shoot. And I'm sure you didn't arrive on set, all, "I KNOW! I've lost a lot of weight in the last nine months. Let's do it AEROBICS STYLE, like an homage to Olivia Newton John's 'Let's Get Physical' video! Except with a BIG OLD BELT! And fingerless gloves, like the kind I wore in Fame! Come on! Put away those gowns! We're going to listen to my body talk!"

I do feel, however, that you need to be paying more attention to the wisdom of one Miss Tyra Banks, who would be screaming her balls off about the fact that you have no neck in this shot (seriously. Almost every episode of America's Next Top Model features a girl getting dressed down for having no neck). It looks like your head just popped right out of your sternum and onto your shoulder. Honey, if your body COULD talk, it would be telling you to ELONGATE YOUR NECK.

Also, to maybe to have a talk with W about their air-brushing team, because they made you look a bit too much like your brother here for any of us to be entirely comfortable.
