janet jackson's acting career lets talk about her acting for once. I know there are some penny and charlene fans in here :p | |

Her acting has never done anything for me. She's okay. She was cute as Penny, I liked her as Charlene, she was barely on Fame.
Her other rolls have all been bareable but I don't feel she brings anything special to the character or screen. I'm always aware that she's acting. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Well, she's just as good as allot of overexposed female actresses out there. Granted, Janet's no Angela Bassett but neither is Halle Berry. | |

Janet's acting has always been much stronger, IMO, than her singing.
It's always been her real talent, to me. | |

People often compare black actresses to Angela Bassett as if she is the only good black actress. She is one of many but is more prominent I guess. She is suppose to be in a Tyler Perry movie too. I hope it’s a good script and that he’s not directing it for her sake. [Edited 7/15/07 9:03am] Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

My anus is a better actress than Madonna. It's female? That's kinda like "Herman's Head." "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

But, I look forward to what Janet has to offer nonetheless. | |

I know her acting isn't the best out there though it could be if she tried harder. I just know a lot of people are into old school here, so I naturally thought there would be some good times fans or whatnot | |

I am into old school and yes, I am a GOODTIMES fan. But, being who Janet is and the last name that she has, folks expect for her to bring it ALL of the time and not fail at anything. She's to be exceptional at everything. No artist is like that. Not even Barbara Streisand. | |

barbara streisand sucks ass no matter what she does, no comparison there! | |

Okay and damn! But, have you ever seen the movie Yentle? I think I spelled it correctly, i don't know. Anyway, she directed that movie.I thought that she'd done a hell of a job directing it. It was powerful to me. Point being, I like variety. I like that Janet is different from allot of other females. I damn sure wouldn't want to be or sound like anyone else. But, I just think it's unrealistic for anyone to expect artists' to exceed at everything,all of the time. | |

No one had a problem with her in the other eras, not even after superbowl | |

Whatever is happening with her, I truly hope that she finds her way and thus make beautiful artistic music out of it. I wouldn't put too much on what the younger crowd is feeling due to what's number one nowadays. But, then again, I'm old school. I have ADORE~Prince, LADY IN MY LIFE~MJ, TRUE BLUE ~Madonna and last but definitely not least LOVE WILL NEVER DO(WITHOUT YOU)~Janet on my mind. | |

r u serious good times is my show, don't play I agree good times was her best acting ever! dawn, I am a huge janet fan don't get me wrong, I listen to old school more, but also have a good idea of what youth listen to and janet isn't one of them at this point, which totally sucks for her cause she was always bringing it | |

I caught a little bit of the Janet Jackson episode of Will and Grace the other day, and let's say that I cringed almost as much as I did during the Madonna episode. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Hopefully, with this new movie she'll put her acting chops to work and then folks will hate on her acting as well as her singing. For true, for true. I'm waiting, eagarly anticipating for her to DO THA' DAMN THANG!!! | |

I hated that episode. It was such a let down. Not funny and very forced. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

The first time I saw her and really one of my first crushes was when she was on Different Strokes as Willis's GF
I think her best work is Poetic Justice | |
