Janet Jackson - is nominated for six (6) NAACP Image Awards. Janet Jackson (Rhythm Nation/BMG) - Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration "No Sleeep" - Outstanding Music Video "No Sleeep" - Outstanding Female Artist "Janet Jackson" - Outstanding Album "Unbreakable" - Outstanding Song – Contemporary "No Sleeep" - Outstanding Song – Contemporary "Unbreakable"

Wowwww I hope she wins something

Agreed. The whole album is award worthy. The video not so much, but the song and album release is outstanding. Hopefully they won't have to abandon their 3 yr promotional plan due to her health. It would be a modern travesty to not be able to finish promoting this album properly with more singles (Lord knows they're sitting on hit singles waiting to be released), videos, tour dates, etc.

-

Btw...Get well soon Jan.

Yeah more singles would be great. Do you think they'll rerelease the album to relaunch it? I don't think the video would win though it's posh. And there were so many popular duets last year I don't think no sleep would win though I love it. I think she has a high chance of winning for female artist and maybe for the album for promotional purposes though it's deserving for the musical content

-

I'm not sure they will re-release. I don't think its necessary though. They just have to work it.

I certainly hope this isn't true

Remember Janet went on vocal rest on a couple of dates in the first leg.

Janet Jackson Being Tested for Throat Cancer

It has been reported that superstar Janet Jackson is currently undergoing tests for throat cancer.

The report comes after the 49-year-old singer revealed that she had no choice but to postpone the first dates of the next leg of her ‘Unbreakable World Tour’, which was due to kick off on January 9th, as she needed to undergo surgery.

It is now being claimed that doctors have discovered a tumour on her vocal chords.

A source revealed: “Doctors found a growth on Janet’s vocal chords that could be serious

“It’s a medical condition that has to be taken care of immediately.”

In spite of the very serious health scare, Janet is said to be optimistic about hitting the road later on in the year, with the insider adding to RadarOnline: “Janet said she knows that with prayers and her will, she’ll be back out on the road in the spring or early summer.”

Janet previously postponed shows in October in order to rest her voice, and doctors have now sadly warned that if she is battling cancer then she might be left unable to sing.

Speaking to the site, Dr. Stuart Fischer explained: “God forbid that this should be cancer of the larynx. That would abruptly end her ability to ever perform again. Singing would be impossible.

“Surgery would be very complex, and followed by months of radiation treatment.”

Janet tried to remain upbeat as she posted a statement explaining why she had to postpone her tour on her website, writing: “Hey you guys…Happy Holidays to each and every one of you!

.

“I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon. It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the ‘Unbreakable Tour’ until the spring.

“Please pray for me, my family and our entire company during this difficult time…There will be no further comment.”

I hope that Janet's surgery will be successful and, God willing, she will be back with her family soon and able to sing again.

Wow, hope the story is not true and Janet gets well soon.

Now while Janet's taking time off would be the perfect time to release another single.

DAMN BABY MUST BE HEARD!

janet politely shut the rumor down and told the media to get a life via 'the great forever' lyrics. she does not have cancer, is recovering, and doctors cleared her for march return.

And I love how it's playing "The Great Forever" while scrolling the lyrics to the portion of the song which speak to the perpetuation of gossip from "sources".

The way Janet has handled this whole comeback.Even with the media basically ignoring it's success. She has been a total class act. Even a lot of so called fans criticiized her when she first made a statement of postponing the tour. Smh

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Classic Janet indeed. It was the perfect set up. Can't wait to see the media's reaction to her response.

Thankfully, she's recovering from whatever it was.

Oh..and the pace of the lyrics helped make it even more funny for me too. She made sure everyone understood where she's coming from. No confusion. Love that woman!

Another jam with a message that's now added to her canon of inspirational work.

That's the one song that's seems to be universally praised from "U". Jan Stans and non-Jan Stans genuinely like that one. I figured its one of the easiest hits she could have from this project.

-

And yes, hearing it live is great. That MPLS ending gives the band an opportunity to get loose. So glad she added it to her setlist. I believe the attendants of the 2nd & 3rd leg of the tour are in for a treat!

Plus "Night" is "Sexy Dancer's stepsister...

I haven't heard anyone not like that song. She has a wonderful problem of deciding single releases. She has several songs that's worthy of focus.
