She has the potential to be really good if you gave her a really good script. She was OK for me. I had a hard time keeping a straight face during her "dramatic" scenes. People in the theatre were laughing when Gavin was throwing her around.

Patricia clearly went to the fire sale at the House of Ill-Fitting Pantsuits.

Yea, she does. Hopefully, she can work with some serious directors. I guess its because some can't look past Janet - the superstar and see her character for what it is. I actually got teary eyed when Gavin was manhandling her like that cry My audience were acting a fool at many parts of the movie but that's expected from a black audience LOL!


I think it's because the script was so bad and the drama was just overwrought - there was no way I could take any of it seriously lol

No, Miss Tyler was protecting Janet. He was just saying that people shouldn't blame the family for his death and that the family did actually intervene to help him. Well, Claymaine was in denial that he even had a problem so....

ALL the brothers signed papers for a reunion tour. Joe bullied MJ and cornered him into signing them. Straight from Frank Delio's mouth. Also, he was sued for breach of contract, so clearly, there was an agreement to go on the reunion tour with ALL BROTHERS.

Obviously, the brothers weren't too concerned about his addictions as they signed papers to a reunion tour WTIH the drug addict.

If they were so concerned, dont u think they would have rejected the idea to wait until MJ got better? Go to rehab? Get himself togetehr?

I will be the 1st to say MJ had a lot of problems, but I'm not buyin this "oh, those poor Jacksons, they tried so hard to save him." Not biting, sorry. hmph!

and all I know is that Janet did her part by helping him out. She didn't sign no paper but the rest of her failed brothers did. They've been trying to get him to tour with them for years. Boo hoo! Who cares? and Janet has no reason to lie about interventions taking place. I'm sure they tried helping him out.

I never came at Janet over dat. I came at the brothers. Janet never used Michael, and i never said she lied about anythin. If she gave any misinformation,í'm sure it was by mistake.

Tyler is the 1 who was talkin shyte. and NO, i dont believe the brothers did shit to help him. Tito himself said he hadn't even seen or spoken to MJ in a long time. But he had time to sign papers for a reunion tour, of course, disbelief

She can make her own damn money! And as for Perry, he just needs to stfu and mind his own damn business. I'm so tired of his black ass making, what Spike Lee considers, "coon fests" called movies. Even now, as of 2010, his movies are still follow the same damn concept like the first one he did. And the House of Payne, BTW, is a horrible show.

OK, one thing I hate about these kind of interviews are question like "how did you feel about your botherr´s death?". I mean what kind of question do they expect? This is just a ridiculous way to get people all emotional. Secondly, as much as I love Janet, why would you wanna go on TV and talk about it, repeatedly in different intervews? I wouldn´t be able to do it. I know she´s the most famous after Mike and that she has to give interviews, but why allow journalists to ask you questions like this? It´s such a cheap way to get ratings and what new are we going to learn anyway?
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

I wish janet was more clear on certain things like the interventions but I understand talking about this could be hard. I also wish she would have put conrad murray on blast but janet isn't that type.

I love Janet sfm touched


With the way Oprah was bombarding her with all those questions, you can tell she was upset but still carried through. I admire her for that. Eh does Oprah think before she talks? She kept asking questions regarding his death even when they were supposed to discuss the movie. I guess she wanted to be the first to have some exclusive shit. But ended up with nada. Oh and I think Janet knew she was going to be asked about MJ knowing that its a Oprah interview. You can tell she was a bit uncomfortable when she first walked on to the set. Oprah said "Its going to be fun" and had a fake smirk on her face. I understand Janet's humble nature but she should step to these people and tell them that she doesn't want to discuss certain topics. I also noticed Oprah kept having footage of him shown at the show even when Janet clearly stated she can't see them and that's too soon. So disrespectful. But at the same time I'm sure people would've bitched if she ignored the big elephant in the room and discussed other things. The MJ fans are bitching about Janet - supposedly being a traitor and "not being clear about the interventions". Bitch, please! There's no pleasing you people.

sigh disbelief

I'm sure janet knew they were going to ask about michael,she could have said no questions about my brother but she's a trooper. Oprah could have just been more sensitive IMO.

Yea, that's what I said. Janet allowed it but Oprah got overly excited (I guess) and made what was supposed to be a short segment of the show into the whole entire show. Not once did she acknowledge Janet's performance in the movie or say anything about her future projects.

Not all fans are calling her a traitor and bashing her (well, you are on MJJC so.... lol )
many fans are on her side, they just feel she could've been clear when this incidents happened or do a no comment because we all know what Miss Sophia was looking for lol

and you're right, this was supposed to be about Janet's new project but like I said, Miss Sophia wasn't havin' that

No, its not surprising. But its disrespectful and Janet should speak up! I know it may not be that serious but I feel like Oprah is ignoring the legacy Janet made. Even though years ago, on that same couch she was trying to boost Janet's confidence about being an artist in her own right.

Well, a majority of them are and yea lol

I don't think Janet has to be specific about any incident. Its really none of our business. She did enough by even answering. If she said "no comment". Oprah would probably hiss and go in a rage lol Besides Janet has told her in the past to stop bringing him up but Oprah being hard headed - she doesn't listen.

Yea, I get what you're saying. I agree. Janet shouldn't go on her show anymore.
