No falloff

Janet's actual voice, I think her voice has been Amplified a bit but again , I love it regardless , Her performance was brilliant anyway.

No never.

I don't mind, I lost interest a looong time ago when her albums became snoozefests with all those semi erotic boring ballads. And there's only so much mileage you can get with a less than stellar voice.

Of course her 2004 publicity stunt didn't help much either.


I bet you haven't listened to a janet jackson album since 'all for you' if that and so you're probably just basing your opinions on what other people / media feed you without actualling hearing the content yourself. It's 'cool' to push someone when they're already down.

Yes. With some drastic changes to her past attempts of recording and promoting her shit.

Those songs "Nothing" and "Make me" didn't even debut on the chart based off her name alone. So she's obviously not going to get a hit anytime soon. I think she should do something unexpected. Maybe, a rock album. That would be cool! wink

Excuse you. The Dance chart is based off DJs submitting the song in to their playlist. "Make me" failed to chart in the Hot 100 and even the bubbling under charts. It flopped.

Acapella filter of Janet singing "Scream" 'live' at last years VMAs



I love the rawness of her voice


Someone should try and make a "Live" version of Scream using MJs live vocals from the Brunei show and Janets vocals from here
[Edited 4/14/10 23:49pm]



I agree about the rawness. I loved her voice in that performance! Wish we had more of that from her records. She was loud, clear and raw. Love the aggression, loved the pain in it. No "So Excited" whispers...I mean vocals.

U said it failed to chart. It was number 1. That is all that matters. Number 1 songs are not a flop fool.

How old are you? 2? lol

It failed to chart on the Hot 100. That's what I said. "Make me" is a flop song just like many of Janet's songs from the last 8 years, fool.

Does anyone know how much "Nothing" sold in downloads? I heard around 300,000 but I'm not sure.

It didn't even enter the top 100 on itunes.

I'd say around 20k tops.


No, it sold a little over 200K.

I'm one of her biggest fans, but I also agree that the music industry doesn't give a shit about her anymore, and that's why doing movies is a wise choice for her. At least we on this board know acting is one of her passions, but I also think it's a smart move for her since 3 in a row were number one for her. If she did soundtrack songs for them, that's cool too, but Nothing was not her best, something like Again or Doesn't Really Matter will make an impact if their cards are played right.


No, you mean her core audience is uninterested with her. She's still praised within the industry but record executives WON'T push a 43-year-old pop star before their 20-something-year-olds no matter how much she accomplished. They know young artists bring in more money. So they won't even bother with Janet.

And those 3 movies didn't go #1 because of Janet. I don't think she's a big box office draw. Poetic Justice most likely did well because of her (she was in her peak commercially) but NP II was a sequel and WDIGM is a Tyler Perry movie. Janet's focusing on movies because she wants to act more. That's all. She's working on more films now and soon will portray her idol - Eartha Kitt.
[Edited 4/14/10 22:57pm]


yeah I know they were draws cause of tyler perry and eddie murphy, not janet, but she made good company for the cast, and it gives her good exposure for future work she does and she can easily say she had 3 #1 movies

Oh damn. neutral Now that I think about it, that's really bad. Its common for artists to have a steady decline in success. But shit.... eek All she needs is one really good album.

and I'd love a rock album too love

Meh. Even tons of promotion won't save her albums. TBH, People just don't care for Janet anymore. I think she needs to redefine her sound and diversify her upcoming album like she used to.

First, a bit tacky, even in jest.

Second, for those in denial, Tyler Perry's a bit ol' homo. Madea isn't based on his mother or grandmother. She's based on his own cross dressing fetish.

I still can't believe how identical she sounds to michael when singing this way, it's hard to believe it's the same woman using the soft whispery vocals. I seriously believe she hides this voice of hers to avoid michael comparisons. I heard this voice on her recent tour during black cat, but with Scream I was just like WOW
