I've seen the cartoon a few times a small child, so I see what you mean. And now that I think about it, Berry really didn't say much in that movie at all.

She had quite a few scenes but they purposefully cut them out of the first one lol She tries to adopt some sort of an accent and fails big-time, it's very funny lol I'll see if I can find it on youtube....nm can't find any

AB...I don't know about her...I never really liked her much as an actress, except in that Tina Turner movie, "What's Love Got To Do with It" . Her face is not something I care to look at already.

I used to feel the same way.

After watching her in "Notorius", I don't trust her with accents. In some scenes she had the Jamaican accent, while in others she didn't. Iman, is from that part of the world. As much as I love Grace, she needs to take that hot potato out of her mouth, so I could understand what she is saying.

That whole cartoon (and comic) was about diversity, they missed the point by putting in a light skinned woman as Storm

halle aint chocolate put she aint light skinned either- not knowing i would never say she was mixed race

Compared to Storm, Halle has very fair skin lol

I feel that Janet should do whatever in the hell she wants to do..

Since when was Janet dark-skinned lmao

Latoya & Marlon are lighter than Janet.

and how the hell does this make Janet "dark skinned"?

Janet and Marlon have about the same skin tone. Janet probably lighter and LaToliet bleaches her skin so she doesn't matter

Dark skinned is Kelly Rowland, India Arie and etc. NOT Janet.

Whoever directed X-men and Matrix.

I knew the Wachowski's wanted to work with her but didn't know about Bryan Singer. Now if only Singer cast Janet as Storm and not Halle Berry; the only bad thing in the first two X-men movies!

Janet's not that bad an actress lol She did pretty well in Poetic Justice. She just needs what most good actresses need; a decent director and a decent script.

Yes, Janet was considered to play Storm after Angela Basset turned the role down. But Janet turned it down because she was busy with an album and upcoming tour. I think Janet would've played the role well

I wouldn't call the script for "Poetic Justice", decent. Especially with lines like, "You wanna smell my punanny"... As for the role of Storm, Iman would have done a better job in the role...She is the closest in looks to the character.

I think Sophie Okenedo would have been a GREAT storm. All she needed was white hair and some blue contacts. She already has the athletic body and African accent.

Nonsense!

Man fuck this new format!!!!!

It's not so bad when you know how to use it.

When you put up a URL and it's a "link", click your cursor somewhere within the link, then click the "unbreak" link button above (the one to the left of the A button). That will allow you to embed a YouTube video. It won't embed if it's a real "link" (ie: underlined in blue). You have to do these steps to make it just text so it's able to be embedded as a video, like I did, using your own link.

that was the best line in the whole movie!

I hope she never stars in another TP movie after that BS Colored Girl (whatever it's called). Because if she does, Oooooohhhh I'll just, I'll Just

Why are you mad?

It's the lighting that makes them have the same complexion. Makeup makes you lighter (check the "Rhythm Nation" period for instance). Janet's medium brown-skinned.

Now for the original topic... Janet's gonna do what Janet's gonna do.

Facial make-up AND huge camera lights are enough to make anyone look lighter than Marlon, including Janet.

Guys

Who the fuck gives a shit whether any of them passes the BBP?

Thank you Timmy. Exactly.

@mididiscover.......See there, Janet isn't a BPB Test passing kind of a woman like Mariah. Janet is chocolate!

You must meant to say BPB.

Kind of off topic but did you all know that the Wachowski Bros are now the Wachowski Siblings thanks to one of them transitioning? Cool news, ehh?

But even before Latoya mess with her face she was still lighter Janet. Infact when I first saw Latoya and that was before all the surgery, I actually thought she was bi-racial. It was back in the 70s and MJ had his big fro and his arm around her, I actually thought that was his girl-friend and not his sister. Having said that I would never in a million years call Janet dark-skinned. She is more caramel skinned and probably is lighter skinned than Marlon.

What..what CHU gonna do???

She may not be a red bone or hot chocolate but I sure love that pic you posted midiscover

That cleavage is dangerous!

On another note: That same pic reminds me of the only thing I ever found unattractive about Ms. Jackson. Them damn old lady hands of hers. She always had them, so it ain't about her age. Other than that she's flawless to me. I'm not a hands man or anything, I've just noticed it throughout the years.

I can't believe you people are really going on about who has darker skin. This is why alien life hasn't visited us yet. It's ya'll's fault!
