Well thats the deal NO ARTIST who is an ARTIST should be doing anything for the fans because they might like it, you have to please yourself and fuck everyone else, if they dig it cool, if they dont cool, if you do things just to sell and because others like it, and its not what you want then you arent an artist at all, you are a hired hand and music is your 9-5 job. I dont give a fuck who she works with just do a good album, that goes for any artist.

But people are "double standard" they talk about "Charts not mattering as long as its good" and then when the albums come out and dont sell like the old days, they blame the label and whoever they can think of, people it doesnt matter anymore the industry is done, its over it doesnt matter where you debut or what you sell anymore, get over it, the 90's are 20 years in the past WAKE UP!

WTF are you talking about?

I think Janet was at the stage of caring what her fans think with that train wreak called 20 Y.O. that album was intended to blow up and she didn't blame anybody. JD, her X, blamed the record label, NOT Janet. With Discipline it was the record label's wrong doing. LA Reid and Janet got into this big fight about the 2nd single. He wanted "Rock With U' and Janet said "Luv". Well, "Rock Wit U' was the single. Plus, the whole timing of promo was shit. But now after reading this interview http://www.wonderlandmaga..._jackson/. She clearly doesn't give a fuck anymore and is going to do whatever. The interludes is her trademark. It flowed nicely with RN1814 and TVR but not so much anymore.

It seems like the people that "don't care" are the one's insisting she cares when really she doesn't give 2 shits.

Exactly. People liked Discipline overall. It had good tracks on it. It was Island that dropped the ball, purposely, on promotion of the album because they and Janet couldn't agree on the next single. That's why the album stalled after 2 singles (Feedback, Rock With U). It had at least 3 more singles in it.

I don't know why Jerkins gets a bad rap. He's done popular songs, they're catchy, danceable, memorable. Is it jealousy? Is it just laziness is trying to hear someone new produce a record for Janet? Does everyone always want Jimmy and Terry? Hell, I'd like Jimmy & Terry on her albums, maybe along with Jerkins. She once said "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", but she's been tinkering with things a bit too long. J&T's work on her albums have been minimal to nothing for the past couple of projects. That whole "throwback to control" nonsense with 20 Y.O. was a big fucking cocktease, and I think even Jam and Lewis knew better.. Dupree took a big welfare cheese shit on that project.

I dug Discipline though. Only 1 or 2 tracks I could do without.

Who said janet blamed her label, im talking about folks on this forum that preach "charts dont matter" and then blame a label for not being able to market her to the audience out there. Its very simple Janet fans will buy the record regardless, you arent gonna pick up new fans at this point, you arent gonna have Control part 2 or Rythym Nation 2010, fans need to let it go with the "hey day" shit already. It seems like artists can move on but fans for the most part cant let it go, or so called fans.

Yall kill me, Janet is finished, nobody cares for her she tried to use her brother's death and it didn't work, Janet should just do a farewell tour and ride off into doing movies because musically she is finished.

Heres the deal, Janet is now what 42? Its time to realize that you aint that anymore, your selling days and being the "only thing in town" are gone, as Elton calls it "the honeymoon period is over" every artist has their time where they are the shit, and sorry folks her's is past, can we just agree and move on???Just cut a good fucking record with 10 solid tracks no fucking 1990's interludes and bathroom breaks and no "i wanna be down" rappers and guest producers to try to regain "your honeymoon period"

They can call it Janet Jerkins Cox

February 3, 2010

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri may no longer be romantically involved, but that’s not stopping the former couple from rekindling their magic in the studio.


Producer-songwriter Bryan-Michael Cox revealed that he and J.D. are reteaming with the pop star for her next album, the first since 2008’s Discipline. “I’m producing Janet’s album with Jermaine and it’s going to be hot,” B. Cox told Rap-Up.com at Tricky Stewart’s pre-Grammy party last Friday. “That’s all I can say so far.”

His producing partner Kendrick “WyldCard” Dean also chimed in, adding, “Some great collabos on there,” but didn’t disclose further details.

Janet has been in the studio with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins working on her 11th studio album, due this year on A&M Records. She is also set to add her vocals to the “We Are the World” remake, singing her brother Michael’s part.

Yeah it's like a pattern lol If true ugh.

Everytime she records a new album,the people involved go to the media and say the same stuff....

We're going back to the 'Control' sound....going back to basics....the songs will be upbeat and fun...the album is gonna have the classic Janet Jackson sound

The finished album never seems to live up to the hype.

SoulAlive said:

Yeah the only way to go back to the Control sound is to throw out all the new sounds...but that is not going to happen.


ANYONE hear from J&T at all?!??!?!?!

ugh. Janet needs to go the pop/dance route, like Cher did with "Believe" and Madonna with "Confessions."

ROCKWITU was made with Durpri right? Very cool song. Rockwitu is a magic song with a JANET sound, and it shows that Dupri can be quite versatile, so long as the song doesn't open with "yall know who this is..."

Janet is an artist, she knows what she's doing.

Im holding out for the new 3T album.
