she's a lot more natural then madge. To be honest, 2pac overshadowed Janet in the whole entire film. | |

It looks like janet was wearing something from the 90's during her poetic justice movie..... [Edited 8/15/07 14:34pm] The only people with their hair "fixed" in this photo are persons # 1 & 3 from the left - Jill's wig looks busted here, Janet's is pulled back/simple/CUTE, the girl on the end looks like she just woke up & left the house 
I don't get why people flip out when Janet pulls her hair back, women (stylish women, mind you) do it all the time   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

and its soo weird for me to see janet in this kind of movie.... it seems like she doesn't belong.... that alone makes it hard for me to take this movie seriously... and even focus on her acting... I can't imagine this movie doing good... and IM tired of Tyler Perry... why does he always have to have someone in church or use gospel songs in his movies... This movie does not really seem interesting.. and janet should not have done this... One last thing.. why does Tyler Perry have to star in every movie that he makes... he is just as bad as Spike Lee [Edited 8/14/07 12:05pm] Whats wrong with getting a little PRAISE ON!?

alisa, and just who exactly IS your mother? just as I thought lol Janet dresses like she's not even famous to begin with. Janet DOES look like she's going grocery shopping or something. I wish she had nice hair like the janet era, she's gone back to being the girl next door once again, ironically like she was when she released the janet jackson album and had hair like that. Back to square one. [Edited 8/16/07 13:37pm] | |

I don't get why people flip out when Janet pulls her hair back, women (stylish women, mind you) do it all the time For real. I don't get it either. Let a woman wear her hair naturally and pulled back simply without being fried, dyed and laid to the side and she becomes labeled as "not fixed" ...WtH...?
So on other words, if a woman, a black woman, does not constantly have her hair straigtened, cut and styled to look as if she just stepped out of a Johnson & Johnson perm ad, (WHICH, NEWS-F-LASH, working in the world of fashion and advertising I personally witness how those shoots are completely FAKED with girls who have hair that is actually naturally straigtened with a blow dry  ) she is 'not FIXED', right ? Which is ludicrous to me anyway, as if a woman actually wants to go throgh her entire life being considered 'fixed'...)I'm just tripping on this idea, because somehow Janet's appearance, in a press junket photo, IN CHARACTER- mind you, is considered to be LESSER than those of her film colleaugues? Go fuckin' figure...
I'm probably going to get creamed for saying it, but um, er, uhhh..fuck it: sounds to me like some folks have some "color-struck-hair-issues" up in here... Anyway, moving on; drink anybody....? I'm having a martini with some catfish now with my nappy assed-has not been retouched in months- hair B-LOOW-ing in the midnight breeze over here  [Edited 8/16/07 15:55pm] | |

[Edited 8/16/07 15:55pm] Oh, how true it is! She looks beautiful to me. She definitely doesn't look 41 years old. Now, if she was flashy with a long, straight weave some would say, "Aww, she looks fake and plastic." Point being, Janet simply cannot win no matter what she does. Yeah, she's in character and Tyler Perry probably told her the way to look or the way he wants her to look. This is HIS that Janet happens to be portraying a character in. This is not a movie about JANET JACKSON. Jeez! | |

[Edited 8/16/07 15:55pm] you don't have to have a relaxer in your hair.. you can wear it in its natural curl... twist, braids... i think janet looks gorgeous... but pulling your hair back while wearing a turtle neck shirt... is NO NO NO NO NO.. for any woman... it will make you look like a turtle 
i wish i was there to tell mommy not to wear that turtle neck... with her hair like that... |

Harlepolis said: sosgemini said: but if she had all the hair it would be harder for folks to differentiate the character and the entertainer....she's made it a habit of non-glaming her hair for her film rolls. i actually think its smart on her part...besides, who is she portraying? would the character require a weaved out do or is she supposed to be conservative? i don't hold judgment on an actor's choice of looks until i've seen the performance. People are used to her with an over-the-top of everything as opposed to the 'regular' look. So I understand. It is refreshing to see her tune it down for a change,,,it makes her acting delivery more believable I guess. She actually looks the youngest of all ..and plus without the weave she looks much more cleaner and real. Much better without the weave. Hell she is the ONLY ACTRESS on the set without weave Straight Jacket Funk Affair

To be honest, 2pac overshadowed Janet in the whole entire film. I disagree. Entirely. Like there was so much to Tupac's role? lol He was basically playing himself. Don't get me wrong, he was exceptional but he wasn't special either. I liked Janet in Poetic Justice. Nutty Professor was useless. I wonder how WDIGM will fare. By the sound of her voice in the trailors I'm a little skeptic. She needs more base in her voice...like Justice did Than again, I don't know what type of character she's playing so I should reserve judgment.White Americans, what? Nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too. -White Stripes | |

With a little push from Oprah, mediocre talent can blow up. I'm underwhelmed by Tyler Perry. I've tried but haven't seen anything I like from her. This looks a little better, but still. I like Janet on film, so maybe I'll see this eventually. | |
