They ARE doing a reality show. They're shooting it now in the UK

It's Tito, Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy with Tito's sons Taj, Taryll, and TJ, Jackie's son Siggy, and probably some others

bboy87 said:

Marlon in Africa, I don't know if Jermaine's with them but it could Tito, Jackie, Randy and Tito and Jackie's kids and probably Joseph and Katherine be in it too.

You know Jermaine is part of it. Somebody gotta pay for that hair gel

Then work at a circus, I'm sure that'll solve the problem.

Eww, you people actually find that plastic tramp attractive?

Do you think she's hot too:

Plastic tramp?

You're right. How dare I attach that label to someone as real, natural and respectable as Janet Jackson. What was I thinking?



ShEt up JD or whatever DeBarge you are.

I don't quite understand the premise of Janet Jackson on the search to find the next Janet Jackson, like, to fill her shoes. Like, what?

SoulAlive said:

I can't believe that people believe that maybe this will boost her cd
sales for discipline. Sorry but that cd is fried. I was in circuit city
yesterday looking for a couple of cd's that i had to search hard for and
the store was full of discipline cd's that was just sitting there. I believe
the best thing for her to do is just tour and scale back the show. I don't need to see 20 useless dancers on stage with janet.

phunkdaddy said:

That's because her label stopped all promotion. Hopefully it will be her tour that boosts sales.

wtf is up with a reality show? lol

Dance said:

Your wit astounds me.

bboy87 said:

This should be interesting

Bishop31 said:

Yeah,I can't stand these types of reality shows,where they talk about trying to find the "next whomever" That's what's wrong with today's music....everyone is trying to be a clone of someone else.

here is the link to the casting information:

Already finished. Tito apparently went back to the States from the UK and the others left ages ago. I don't think it will be a reality show though- yes UK Channel 4 followed them around for a few weeks, but that sounds more like a documentary to me.

marnifrances said:

What were they (Jackson fam) doing exactly? A reality show on what?

JackieBlue said:

We don't exactly know yet

People were hoping Michael would be a part of it, but knowing his story with british documentaries...no

I just want to see the interaction between Jermaine and Randy

Ciara is already practicing for her audition

bboy87 said:

Ciara
Britney Spears
JLo
Rihanna
Ashanti
Cassie
Justin Timberlake
Usher


...have all been auditioning for years

This proves to me just how desperate Janet is these days.

I know that I will not be watching this crap, that's for sure.

She has really sunk for desperation. I do not think it will matter though. Her cd sales seemed doomed from the first single. The so called upcoming tour if it happens should make some money. She just does not have it anymore when it comes to her music. I think she should do more movies. Her acting is not bad at all.

bboy87 said:

Man, that fool's hair looks like that Plastic Hair on those old Michael Jackson Dolls that came out in the 80's! Remember those?!

Bishop31 said:

I had the Michael Jackson microphone!

Attention dancers and singers. The unprecedented opportunity has risen for raw prodigy talent who embody the true definition of an undiscovered star.

One of the world's most beloved icons is offering the chance of a lifetime to one rising talent to become her protégé launching the next legendary career in singing and dancing.

Her name is Janet Jackson!

She's taking one winner from the streets to the stage.

Janet Jackson and famed choreographer, Gil Duldulao, in association 25/7 productions and Wright Crear Management will be kicking off the search for talented performers with raw talent.

The competition reality series is open to Males and Females at least 16 years old , who appear to be between 16 and 22 and who exhibit superior talent in combined singing and dancing. Those who are eligible are encouraged to apply and attend the nearest open call, taking place in Chicago, New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

You might be the best on your block, but can you represent on the world's stage?

Can you become Janet Jackson's prodigy?

HOW TO APPLY!
There are 2 ways to apply:
1. Attend an OPEN CALL in a city near you! Fill out the short contact form below to join our email list, and you will receive the most up-to-date information regarding open call cities, venues, dates and other important updates.
2. If you absolutely cannot make it to the nearest open call, you may submit a VIDEO TAPE SUBMISSION. Just click on the VIDEO TAPE SUBMISSION button below and an instructional letter will pop up, giving you all the "how-to's."

ofcourse I'll watch, it will be interesting, but what has music come to? that you need to launch a reality show to find the next star. How did superstars or successful musicians become successful or iconic before reality shows? this is just sad...now i'll get off my old fogey soapbox and sit tight for this show to start

I know everyone is jumping on this "dance show" craze, but in reality its almost over anyway, too much of anything, will kill it. And MTV already FAILED big time with the Jennifer Lopez dance show, and that did nothing for her album sales, or even to get her videos played on MTV, so this is a waste of time and energy.
