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.

Hi mouth is so gross!

Devil worship.

JackieBlue said:

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...

JackieBlue said:

Janet doesn't have any film flops on her resume, so that works in her favour. At least she chooses some projects wisely.

VoicesCarry said:

I’d love for her to do TV but I don’t want to see her in a sitcom. Especially a Tyler Perry sitcom. I’d like a drama like that sci-fi show that she was mentioned about before. I could see her doing something like one of the CTU people on 24, maybe Torchwood, or The L Word. I prefer a gritty drama where she has authority and wears great clothes. Let me get to writing.

JackieBlue said:

I have the concept

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.

I bought my tickets for Japan - I can call her anything I damn well please

What's gonna happen the next time Janet decides she wants to tour? Fans are gonna remember what happened with this tour and may be reluctant to buy tickets.She's proven to be an unreliable touring act.

SoulAlive said:

Exactly!

VoicesCarry said:

all her fans invested in the tour- maybe you should call yourself that for doing it a 4th time and being disappointed

Evvy said:

You make so much sense. For being a dedicated fan, I'm the bitch. No. She's the stupid bitch who doesn't know how to run her professional career.

She has a responsibility to conduct herself in a manner that does not put her fans at a financial disadvantage. Yet, she has consistently done that. That is wrong. No more. No Less. Get with the program, Evvy!

it's still WRONG and DISRESPECTFUL to call that strong Black Woman out of her name- you have over stepped your bounds

midnightmover said:

No, I don't think i'm missing the point at all. I understand what you're saying about the time periods in between her albums, but I feel like we've seen a lot of her ever since the Superbowl. I just get the feeling that most people either don't care about Janet at this point or are tired of her, which is why I think she needs to take a break from music.

I don't agree with you about her being a "very bad actress" either. She is a decent actress. Reality tv would be the worse thing she could ever do for her career though. Latoya and Jermaine can do that, they were never as successful as Janet. Janet doing reality tv would be career suicide.

Evvy said:

No! He has not... when it's deserved, it's deserved! And this time Janet has deserved it!

Maybe she really is pregnant If she is,she should just be honest and say it.

VoicesCarry said:

yeah imma get with your hypocritical turning of the cheek- no thanks I was smart enough not to invest any further in that tour - thus removing myself from the situation

the first time- yeah shame on Jan
the second time- shame on YOU

it's still WRONG and DISRESPECTFUL to call that strong Black Woman out of her name- you have over stepped your bounds

PatrickS77 said:

so if I feel like your momma or aunt or sister deserves to be called out of her name over a situation that I know little about- you'd be o.k. with me doing it?

and no i'm not her relative- it's an issue of respect- if vc feels that way- o.k.- actually letting it come out of his mouth in public no-- and he definitely wouldn't say it to her face and would sell you and your momma into slavery denying he'd ever said it if she confronted him over it

Evvy said:

Send me her address - I'll invoice her for the thousand dollars in lost plane fare, hotel accommodations and time off work that it cost me to go to Montreal. I'll invoice her for flight cancellation fees for NYC and Japan. I have absolutely no problem saying when something is very, very wrong with Janet, and you know what? If people said it to her damn face, maybe she'd clue in and get it together.

Janet cannot afford to abuse the few devoted fans that she has left.

YOU SAID IT NOT ME the connections that madonna has and what she does. Im not going into detail. YOU all can do your research.

I rather Janet be unsuccessful than to go Madonnas route.

I have always loved the jacksons, and even if i don't agree with what everything janet does, i still care.

VoicesCarry said:

again- i'm not saying that your feelings are not justified- all I said was quit callin her out her name
