Janet Jackson Japan tour shelved

Janet Jackson's tour of Japan has been postponed, with promoters blaming the global financial crisis.

confuse Funny, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton don't seem to be having that problem in Japan.

I don't understand the excuses at all. In terms of keeping promises and agreements, I always thought she was the one reliable Jackson. Guess that's not the case anymore.


JackieBlue said:



I did read she's preparing work for another album. Maybe she should just focus on that.




Oh no, I think Janet needs to leave the music thing alone for a while. She's not having much success in that area and I think one of the reasons for that is that she keeps releasing albums too quickly. She needs to give people a chance to miss her. Also, her music as of lately,although decent, sounds very uninspired. Janet needs to stick with acting for a while because that seems to be the one area where she's had success recently. She should come back to music when she's actually motivated again and is ready to make kick ass albums again. I like Janet, but i'm kind of tired of seeing her flop and releasing mediocre albums. She needs to come back when she is motivated and has the desire to make good music again, but I don't see her being ready to do that at the moment.

Yeah,Janet is using yet another bullshit excuse to get out of touring.I don't know why she doesn't just cancel the tour and move on! It's obvious that she's not ready to tour right now.
[Edited 1/26/09 17:21pm]



I don't know why she doesn't just cancel her whole damn career. It's clear she quit caring a long time ago. Everyone else is catching up with that sentiment.

What, haven't we even got one fan ready to support Janet's story? Usually there's at least a few gullible souls ready to abandon reason and defend Janet's honour. Come on, let's see some lunacy. A Janet thread ain't a Janet thread without some sheep around to defend their leader.

Exactly. It would be more like giving people time to forget her rather than miss her. There was a three year gap between DJ and 20YO and that didn't make 20YO sell any better. Like I've been saying for years, it's time to just face the fact that Janet's days as a top drawer attraction are over. She will never be as popular as she was before. People have seen through her. Reality TV beckons.

Well putting out one album after another certainly isn't doing her any favors. Like I said, her music as of lately has been pretty mediocre, especially when compared to her past work and I believe her releasing albums so quickly is partly to blame. She seems to be releasing albums just for the sake of it, not because her heart is really in it. I really think she should focus on her movie career.

Agree with that. Basically it sounds like she canceled her tour due to very low ticket sales. That's probably what this "global economic crisis" line is about. Its just a fancy way of saying her tour had poor ticket sales. So they're not exactly lying, they just came up with a creative way to say, "We scrappin this tour because nobody put up enough money to come see her show." JMHO.

I'm surprised that they mentioned rescheduling it for later in the year. The economy is just going to get worse with people losing jobs and holding on to what cash and credit they do have or sponsors being wary of backing a tour that already had problems. The financial crisis is here for the long haul. If for some reason the tour doesn't kick off when rescheduled, it's going to look really bad for her.

It's hard for any actress over 40 but especially hard for black actresses. Even though Janet still looks youthful there are younger better actresses with no weight issues who might get chosen first. Altho her name might still be a big plus for her when casting. Just a thought...

I'm thinking maybe she could try a sitcom.Doesn't Tyler Perry have some type of TV show? I'm sure he would give Janet a role,if she asked.

I'm not a Tyler Perry fan but he has two shows currently airing and he likes Janet so yeah, maybe he'd hook her up. I think it would have to be a vehicle written for her or with her in mind. She could do a stint on a few shows. Actually cable television has really become a big platform for actors and writers.

[Edited 1/27/09 6:17am]

It's only the last album that was released quickly. The other two flops before it were released after long gaps, so your argument makes no sense and really misses the point. You say her heart's not in it, but a break will not help that. Her heart will only ever be in it if it's successful. She simply cannot handle it when things aren't going well. She's had everything in life handed to her so she is ill-equipped to handle setbacks. She runs away and hides, whereas someone who has had to earn what they've got would come out fighting.

Janet is not in music for the art. She's in it for the ego boost that comes from mass adulation. That kind of mass adulation has gone for good now. The only reason she's kept going is because her boyfriend has been helping her keep the fantasy alive that she can "get back on top". Now the penny has probably dropped that it really is over, so I think her fans should prepare themselves for a long winter. She is a very bad actress and has a tarnished image so she could only ever have a film career as a supporting actress in second rate movies. Several other Jacksons have embraced reality TV. Janet could well be next. It might also be time to give up on that body obsession and have a baby. I'm sure it's only fear of what it will do to her physique that's stopped her from reproducing, but like Barack said "there comes a time to put away childish things". This may be a good time for Janet to grow up.

It would be a good idea.Like cinnamon234 said,the music thing aint' working out for her.Touring is no longer an option either.It wouldn't be a bad idea to step away from music for awhile.
