as I have said in past vertigo is not something that goes away quickly-im sure that when the doctor clears her and she no longer feels like her world is spinning while she busts a move on stage- she'll be back and ready to boogy- if not she'll just look crazy missing choreography and fallin' off the stage....

I have vertigo once.....it is nothing nice.

“Would it be so crazy to bring Michael on stage each night?” Um, yes!

The article reads like a compilation of posts from the Org. I guess letting ticket holders know that the show is cancelled is about as official as its gonna get.

Yeah,the speculation is getting out of control.Yesterday,one of our local radio stations said that Janet is pregnant.She needs to issue a statement right now before these rumors get out of hand!

Did she have problems selling tickets on the All For You tour as well?


No. "All For You" was a successful tour. The North American leg was extended into 2002.

Yeah I heard someone say they saw LaToya in an airport terminal catching a flight to where I forgot but the assumption was that she was rushing to be by Janet’s side because the illness was serious.

Hopefully. Surely a week is enough time. I wonder if she’s still taking the show abroad.

My guess is,she'll finish the remaining U.S. dates and not play any more shows for awhile.

this is now a lead story on yahoo entertainment.

she needs to issue a statement or perform if she wants to save face.

Janet Jackson has canceled a half a dozen dates on her Rock With U tour because she is battling an illness.

Five minutes before show opener LL Cool J was scheduled to hit the stage at their September 29 date in Montreal, Canada, Janet called off the concert. She was rushed to a local hospital for treatment. She was released two hours later.

Next, she postponed dates in Boston, Philadelphia, Greensboro, Atlanta and Ft. Lauderdale.

The statements released by her extremely credible and respected publicist simply note that the megastar has been treated and is recovering. But the explanations do not offer details and the media have began describing the entertainer's bout as a mystery illness.

person's health is his or her personal business, but what's the big deal about Janet giving her thousands of fans who purchased concert tickets some insight to what's happening?

The elusiveness has prompted some to speculate that Janet is having a tough time dealing with subpar ticket sales. Our esteemed Dave DiMartino coined the diagnosis Extremis Minimus Ticketsalus in her honor and is awaiting inclusion in the next printing of Webster's New World Medicine Dictionary.

Something isn't right.

Is her illness something of the embarrassing nature?

Is she stressed out? She's had a rough year. Discipline was her first album with Island Def Jam and it failed to reach the heights Janet anticipated. It was reported last month that an unhappy Janet exited her recording deal with IDJ and was planning to release a new album through iTunes.

Why has LL Cool J been so quiet? It was a big deal for him to join Janet on this tour and to promote Exit 13, his final album on Def Jam. But no tour for Janet means no tour for Cool J, and he has not said anything regarding the matter.

I think there is a cover up and it's not looking good. People are still upset with Janet for the Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction. I'm sure she does not want a similar backlash.

So Janet if you are sick, you need to speak up. I mean, Natalie Cole is in and out of the hospital battling Hepatitis C and people are extending her well wishes. It's hard to get true support when you are being so vague.

And Natalie is determined to tour even though it’s been advised that she continue to rest but she doesn’t want to disappoint her fans. She needs to take the rest of the year off.

What is LL supposed to say? I guess he’s disappointed because it eats into his promotion but what can he do? Fortunately he’s got other things going on.

As for Janet... shrug who knows?

Normally,her boyfriend would be all up in the media,making statements left and right.His silence on this matter means that it just might be something more serious.

I just mentioned JD in the other Janet thread. She has a right to her privacy but the lack of solid info is frustrating. She may never talk about it and just continue the tour. You know the Jacksons aren’t ones for disclosure.

I cannot understand the life of me why would she choose to hide it. People are already thinking her tour's a flop and that's the reason why she's had this "sickness", some may think JD may have gave her something, some think she's on drugs, and some think she's pregnant. I just hope we found out the real cause. The way Janet's going by it is not good either.

No offense, but why does Janet need to explain anything more than that she is ill. This could be something they haven't diagnosed yet, or a serious illness. What if she had breast cancer - you want her to come out and say it just so she looks better to people who don't really give a shit about her anyway?

Well, if it's serious I think she should keep it private but that's what keeps the speculation going and often people think the worst. Makes me think of Michael and the Oprah interview.

That's what I'm saying. She should just say it and we'll understand but everybody keep suggesting it's something else. confused I can understand Janet wanting privacy but GOOD LORD it ain't like she's hiding a marriage. neutral

If things continue in this direction, JANET will definitly release a statement.

This tour was for the fans. 7 YEARS and 3 records later, JANET promised she would tour and if you were lucky to attend you would have seen a full house pretty much every night.

I don't understand why people feel the need to tear down the legends. Really?

The woman is ill. You don't get over a flu/cold/etc. overnight? Should she have went on and dropped on stage?

Honestly. Its frustrating for those fans who made travel plans etc. But as JANET says "I promise, Ill be worth the wait"

AND BELIEVE ME.. seeing her last concert before the illness..she sure was.

Get well soon J!

VC Janet should know that her fans are concerned- just out of respect for the dollars we have spent the past 15-20 years puttin' her where she is- yes I said it-- WE SIGN HER CHECKS BOO - she should have someone make a simple statement concerning what the hell is going on with her. It's not like she has to get out of bed to have that done- and it's not like she has to reveal anything personal in making an announcement- just hearing it from her camp will stop the rumours.

I'm sure anyone on this board can make a non-personal statement for her....give me a few minutes...

i could have sworn a couple years ago a Pop Diva was on a tour, and canceled it because she had breast cancer and everyone supported her so much. than she did a tour after she recovered that was similar to the last but different enough for her to tour places she had toured all ready plus make up the shows she missed. than she recorded another album and had another great tour.


that couldn't have really happened could it have?




please the public would be ok if that was the truth.
