hmmm Looks decent. I'm praying that Janet gets it together with this new disc; I'm about ready to love Miss Jackson again.

I finally managed to get the song on my MP3 player (sadly, with some annonying DJ banter, though) and it's a hit with me. I hope it does well or at least well enough if it's a smash.

The video looks almost intentionally campy (she can't be serious, can she?) and is kind of fun unlike the videos from the last two albums that were either too mushy ("Call On Me", "I Want You") or too dark and repeative ("All Nite" and "So Excited"...partically the same video!).

The funny thing im hearing are people talking about how Janet needs to get on MTV or TRL to get notice, are people nuts? These arent the 80's and 90's anymore, MTV has no pull whatsoever in terms of videos being a tool for artists, they dont even play them anymore.


Exactly. I don't get that bullshit. MTV ain't the unstoppable force it was in the '80s and early-'90s (the period where Janet ruled airwaves). Plus, I heard that a video stream on AO-Hell and Yahoo! can actually HELP in the way the song does on the charts, least 5%. MTV is really Reality TV nowadays.


MTV's only use now is giving jobs to pretty girls in shows like the "Hills" who cant get real acting or modeling jobs. Or making this cheesy fake shows like Parental Control and My sweet 16, that are all scripted (and thats scary that someone writes them!) the most you will see music artists is if they are on "cribs" showing off their mostly fake rented lifestyles.

MTV has become totally irrelvant when it comes to new music and the lastest MTV awards (which honored in some cases "themes" rather than specfic videos from different genres) proved it. I mean, they move the time of TRL all the time and sometimes do not even have it on for days and weeks in a row without notice! They can always go back to being about music, of course.

I'd like to think that videos as a promotional aren't useless, though, since not it's all about Youtube. And while I don't have a 200 plus channel monster cable service, I assume some of those million channels out there still play current videos (although I discovered that the video only MTV2 has turned into MTV1's dumping ground for cancelled shit!). With entertainment being more about selecting what you want to watch and hear with cable possibly going a la carte soon and music services like satelite and internet radio (on top of MP3 engines, etc.), I don't think the video as whole is dead...so suck it MTV!

The only channel i remember being this way is the IMF channel which is the International Music Feed, it plays videos from all over 24/7, no monopolys either, meaning you wont get Beyonce 27 times a day. Also i think the Latin Market still does it right, its video stations are almost all video and artist driven playing all types of different latin music, which is why Latin Music is the only genre consistently UP in sales.

I am not feeling the song nor the video.

If it sounds like Britney, then it sounds like Janet, because Britney has spent the majority of her career ripping off Janet.
