Here I am trying to give Janet some credit for the simplistic video that all of you dislike, thinking maybe the design was meant to be reminiscent of Billie Jean (instead of it just being nonsensical), and you fanatics are going maniacal once again. disbelief I hope you all are this strong and tough in real life. bored



[Flame snip - luv4u]

How is making the most oddest comparison between two videos that aren't alike in any shape or form -- a compliment to Janet? nuts

Yea, the vid isn't all that but its NOT a tribute to him. Get over it. The only one acting maniacal is you with these crazy ass posts up in here.

You can't see what I see in the video. Why become aggressive over that? Do you know what subjectivity is, regarding art? At least I didn't come in here denigrating the film like you and others.

And you really think Janet sat around, thinking "Now I have to promote this movie, and I need to make a video for this song that's on the soundtrack. I have a full schedule of photo shoots, interviews, etc. I also have a new album to consider doing this year. But through all that.....I am going to make it about my brother, and maybe some person on prince.org will see that and enlighten the world to my secret plan of making everything in my career about my brother now that he's dead. Because of course, we're all here to capitalize on his death."

Really, man? REALLY? FO' REAL THO?!

falloff clapping /thread's over. I didn't have to nWo it. biggrin

Yeah, ok. Although I could really use some New World Order information regarding Janet Jackson. But I'd prefer some wrestler or TonyVanDamm telling me that. yawn

Yeah exactly. I don't see it as an epic failure. The video was what I thought it would be. Surely it ain't like it was tied to a studio effort like "Again" was. And it wasn't as epic as "Doesn't Really Matter", which was a dance track. This was just another ballad. lol

Nope, just stated my artistic observation, which was nothing that should have triggered you and your friends' anger management problems.

I don't need to seek/provoke arguments with strangers over the internet like you all, so why don't you just stop quoting me as well. Cool? lol

What does that mean? I don't get it. The song is for the movie soundtrack, and has been released on .iTunes.


I'm old school, I keep figuring "released" meant physically released, not digitally. shrug lol

Ahh got it. Well I always think "it's out there for real now" when I hear "released". Hopefully there will be a single.

I like it. It reminds me of the "Again" video. I wanted to bust Malik upside his head when he splashed that vodka all over Jan

Yeah I know. That was probably the same scene where Malik was yelling at Janet when Janet tried to console him. Look like he was pouring the drink on her too. mad hmmm

oh come on, it's not that bad lol

i like the song, it's the first janet song in a long time that
i've instantly liked.

she's actually singing again instead of mumbling and it makes
me realise again that she's got a beautiful, soothing voice.

the video ain't that bad either. it's a bit lame but it's also
got a very 'honest' feel. just up close and personal.

for me anyway, this song and video are a reminder that she's
not completely gone over to the whispering android 40+ years
old wanna be sexkitten.

she looks like a grown woman again who's singing a nice song
with an actual melody and 'real' lyrics.

i say bravo cool
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

"Feedback" is the worst video. "Everytime" isn't far behind.

This song is going to have to grow on me, but I do appreciate the character's emotions or ideas from the movie being in the lyrics.

I liked "Everytime". I didn't care for "Because of Love," though.

As for "Nothing", I do like the concept, but it is extremely cheap looking.

She's completely shitting on her legacy by releasing a song/video like this.

Even Neneh Cherry's late 80's ghetto sized budget videos were better than this.

Get yourself together girl!

If you can't do it right...then don't do it at all.

I can't believe this is where Janet's music career is right now.

Fucking sad.

That's a bit over dramatic, and full of nonsense.
