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. ill


I hated that episode. It was such a let down. Not funny and very forced.


That's every episode of Will & Grace, no? confuse

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.

Did you see her in the Nutty proffesor II
... she did an amazing job... I almost forgot it was janet.... I actually loved her in that movie... and she was perfect for that role....

No one can deny her talent in that movie....

I don't really think janet had a personality in nutty professor 2. She was great when she was trying to help sherman at the end and was beautiful to watch throughout the movie, but she was so shy and quiet, and janet is just like that character in real life so she didn't really surprise me in the movie. Or it could have just been the klumps being way too outspoken for their own good.

Understood. But, allot of actors don't have the personality for the roles that they play. But, it's sometime one or two. It happens. You know what trips me out? Some folks are going to go pay money to Tyler Perry's WHY DID I GET MARRIED just to be critical and see if she truly messes up and judge her on it. She could've done this. She should've done that. It would've been better had she did this. Whatever! Do your thing, JANET!

I may or may not be doing that, but if it's janet I'll support it and buy it. I'm going to see it on the day it comes out, the way I did when nutty 2 was released, so I'm excited about that

I agree that 2pac was more convincing in poetic justice though janet did an alright, but not exceptionally great job

I also loved her on SNL, A LOT!! I just wish her face didn't look pinched at times, you could tell she was trying so hard not to laugh smile
