i don't judge music by its sales either. i judge it by how it sounds. and those are 2 of the worst albums i've ever heard by a pop superstar who should know better.

Hollywood Reporter:

Janet Jackson has signed with WMA for representation in all areas.

While Jackson is known as a recording artist, she is coming to the agency after a starring role in Tyler Perry's hit "Why Did I Get Married?" She also is prepping a worldwide tour to promote a new album due in February.

"Janet is one of the most iconic female entertainers of our time." WMA president Dave Wirtschafter said. Jackson will be repped by a team of agents led by Wirtschafter and Charles King that will run across multiple divisions of the agency including film, touring, licensing and merchandising, television, theater, publishing and new technology.

Jackson said she was attracted to the agency because of its long history. Jackson continues to be repped by managers Johnny Wright and Kenneth Crear as well as attorney Don Passman.

Buzz in Universal is that a new single will be sent to radio January 4th, with a video to follow shortly afterward and the new album will be released in late February.

Why do allot of you all hate on Janet so much? I mean, if you don't like the woman why pay her and or her music any attention at all?
Or is it that you all hate just for the sake of hating and can say whatever the hell you feel due to this being the internet?
Just wondering....

Hopefully she hires a new stylist as well.

Jeez! The shit that's said is amazing to me.
I wish Janet much success reguardless of some lying in wait hoping for he to fail.

i havent been disappointed yet, i enjoyed both damita jo and 20 yo but im one of those rare fans who dont judge the music by the sales.by the way both those albums were better imo than all for you

DawnD said:

That's my point, really. I want to pay attention to her and her music. I was a huge fan. I'd like to like her and her music again. But she hasn't done anything to make that possible in a long time. She's a major disappointment. That's why she gets so much hate/heat. Trust me, I'm not that broken up about it, but that's what's one the front page of this particular forum for the day, so why not comment.... That is what we're all here for, isn't it?

DawnD said:

It's quite the opposite, some of us are sick of her being a failure. She can do better than she's been doing. The broad has been lazy and uninspired.

Aside said:

Yeah, among OTHER things. I haven't gotten it twisted.
Just seems as though she catches more heat than OTHER artists' who's been disappointing as well. I doubt if I'm the ONLY one who's noticed that.

sadly, i agree.

Aww, break out the violins. Break em' out!
Can Janet fans at least be alittle happy that she's put forth effort to bring forth some new music? All artists' don't have a message in their lyrics all of the time! Hell, even Prince doesn't?
Some said she should get rid of Jam and Lewis. Get some new blood to produce her music. Fact of the matter is, no matter what Janet does or doesn't do allot of folks won't be satisfied. But, hey theirs always other artists with messages in the lyrics, those that write, produce, compose, and arrange their own music and don't talk about jack shit in their lyrics. Enjoy who you will.
Poor woman can't catch a break for shit!
I for one, maybe a few others feel the same as I do am very happy to receive good news about Janet.
Definitely looking forward to the new album and single.

You haven't noticed the heat Prince gets every time he puts out an album? In the last 10 years?

DawnD said:

You seem to be talking to yourself. I don't think I ever criticised Janet for not putting messages in her lyrics. So you're either talking to yourself or to a figment of your imagination. Both of those things are signs of madness. I'm worried about you.

midnightmover said:

Naw! It's not a figment of my imagination. How sweet of you to worry. Don't need your pity or were you simply trying to be, oh let me guess, funny.
No need for that either.
I simply state what I wish the same as um, every one on the org. Cause it is well known nothing I say is going to halt anyone from saying anything. Likewise with what folks say to be. So, I guess if your so concerned about me, worry on.

YAY! NO JD!!

Fuck ya'll
