PrintableIts another great song. As good or better than Feedback. I loved Feedback and thought it would make her huge again but I was wrong. Ah well. The song is nice and energetic. Another great addition to her fast upbeat song catalogue for me. | |

The only disgusting thing is your belief that that is what she is doing. Do you think that everything she releases from now on will be "cashing in" on Michael's death? How pathetic. If anyone from that family doesn't need to cash in on MJ, it's Janet. She has had a career for years, and it should not stop because of the death of her beloved brother. If anything, he would want her to carry on. He would want everyone to carry on. u need to chill out. Strange how her single was "convienantly" released right after the VMA performance and the new cd is coming out in a little over a month.Funny how you guys bitch and rag on Latoya saying she's cashing in when her single was off of her 2004 album and went to one of Michael's charities. or the fact that Jermaine tried to plan an imprompto tribute show. Janet's single has nothing to do with giving tribute to Michael. So really before you go bitching about other jacksons and defending every single thing janet does, why don't you look at the bigger picture and realize that your beloved Janet is not a god. Purple Sweat has an opinion with possibly some truth to it. | |

People have been leeching off Michael for decades and after his death its like the vultures are circling to see how they can get their piece. Oh yeah, VMA's "tribute" to MJ and the same day release a new single and make a big push for the GH? How very touching. Yeah it may have been in the works before MJ's death, but there is clearly a concerted effort to tie it into the hoopla and hysteria surrounding MJ's new film. Why not delay it until the start of 2010? But ahhh that wouldn't be maximizing the exposure. The commercialization and bloodsucking never stops, but then it never did when it came to MJ. It's all about money and ego and it won't ever stop. People are going to be making $$$$$ off of MJ's talent and success for many years to come. If Janet Jackson - with her voice - didn't have a famous name and had walked into a record company office and said "ya know, I think i wanna be a singer" they'd have laughed in her face, because the fact of the matter is that the ONLY reason she ever had a shot in the music industry was because of her last name, and who was responsible ultimately for that fame? Michael. [Edited 9/27/09 20:10pm] * * *

Are you kidding, she's been bombing over and over since the superbowl incident, releasing the same tired over sexual crap album after album. Discipline was okay but got old very quickly. Now since Michael's died, every one of those damn Jacksons has been all over the media releasing new songs, appearing on TV shows, selling out to Entertainment Tonight, doing tell all interviews. I hope they thank Michael for the publicity boost, he died giving it to them! Exactly right, it's been a sickening display of greed. * * *

I always found it ridiculous how, back in the day, she would say in interviews that she believed that her last name made it harder for her. As if being a Jackson held her back somehow. I wanted to say, "Bitch, if your last name wasn't Jackson and your pops didn't have the resources to pull in Jimmy, Terry, and Paula you'd be the assisstant manger at White Castle back in Gary. | |

Only thing Joe did was convince Janet to be in the music business, lol. She broke off from Joe before doing the "Control" album. [Edited 9/27/09 20:34pm] | |

[Edited 9/27/09 20:59pm] Just because Janet is more talented than Latoya and Rebbie doesnt mean she still didnt get where she was based on Michael and family connections. I don't believe she would of got a record deal without being a Jackson but your right that she wouldnt of been as big a success as she was without being talented. Both sides are right. Its not one or the other, she had big help, but she also had talent. And its the same case now. She has a fresh start because of Michaels death but she will also most likely succeed more than the other siblings because shes more talented than the girls and is seen as a more recent act then the boys. | |

The difference between Janet and the seven others is when her initial albums failed and she went through some major growing pains, she had a purpose that she probably didn't have before. If she didn't wanna be in show business she would've quit after Dream Street tanked. That's why Janet got to where she's at. We can discuss this 'til we all turned blue in the face, lol. I love both MJ and Janet anyways.  | |

I believe that Rebbie has the best voice out all three. I was listening to latoya's early 80s tracks and a lot of them are quite good. They all can dance. If either one of them rebbie or latoya had the resources such as certain producers and choregraphers..they could of been as sucessful as janet. Good producers-Jam and Lewis and choregraphers-Paula Abdul really helped janet go a long way. They all had talent to an extent but not even close to the level of Michael. Natural talent is what Janet lacked. | |

There's no need to look for reasons to discredit Janet. MJ isn't the only talented one in that family! Mmmkay! | |

yeah he was. Off the Wall was the biggest selling album for a black artist at that time. He was already a household name for years before that album as well.No, he wasn't. Even he wasn't happy with that album. 1984 was when he was popular and around that time Janet dropped [i]Dream Street[/] and we all know that shit flopped so the logic behind this "Janet's only famous because of her last name" is completely false. | |

Great producers can work wonders. *plays violin* Rebbie worked with MJ and so did Latoya. Latoya also worked with a couple of producers that were very popular in the 80's so don't blame the producers they just lack what Janet and MJ had. Talent. | |

NoVideo said: BoOTyLiCioUs said: u need to chill out. Strange how her single was "convienantly" released right after the VMA performance and the new cd is coming out in a little over a month.Funny how you guys bitch and rag on Latoya saying she's cashing in when her single was off of her 2004 album and went to one of Michael's charities. or the fact that Jermaine tried to plan an imprompto tribute show. Janet's single has nothing to do with giving tribute to Michael. So really before you go bitching about other jacksons and defending every single thing janet does, why don't you look at the bigger picture and realize that your beloved Janet is not a god. Purple Sweat has an opinion with possibly some truth to it. If Janet Jackson - with her voice - didn't have a famous name and had walked into a record company office and said "ya know, I think i wanna be a singer" they'd have laughed in her face, because the fact of the matter is that the ONLY reason she ever had a shot in the music industry was because of her last name, and who was responsible ultimately for that fame? Michael. [Edited 9/27/09 20:10pm] That's not true. Other singers like Madonna, Amerie, Ashanti, Brittany Spears, and Rhianna got record deals. If they can get a record deal, then Janet can too. Also, the Jackson name has NOTHING to do with Janet's success. If that was the case, then Rebbie, Latoya, Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine, Randy, and Tito would all be supersuccessful as well. In fact, the first two albums that Michael was connected to where he wrote songs and lend his voice to the backgrounds -- Janet and Dreamstreet -- was NOT successful. It wasn't until Janet ventured out on her own WITHOUT the help of Michael or her father. Janet created success on her own. The others siblings have said that they could not achieve success because of the Jackson name and because of Michael. However, Janet beat the odds and DID receive SUPERSUCCESS in her own right. Go Janet! [Edited 9/27/09 22:12pm] [Edited 9/27/09 22:12pm] | |

The only disgusting thing is that you believe she's cashing in on her brothers death. Janet is an artist/entertainer. It's her job! She's just doing her job! She was working on a new album/ movie way before his death and also GH album was situated before his death as well! ----- #45 Pop iTunes! Well said, midiscover. | |
