Janet album sales increase after Halftime performance

Amazon.com and other internet retailers are reporting high sales of Janet Jackson's albums directly after the Super Bowl, mostly notably, All For You, Rhythm Nation 1814 and Design of a Decade.

Personally, I checked my neighborhood Borders today and there were no Janet albums left in stock at the store.

Go Janet.

Ofcourse, it's no wonder. Look what the Britney and Madonna thing did for Britney. Maybe Janet's camp said let's see what that'll do for her. These people don't live like people who don't 'live' for entertainment. They all part of the business, they live for it and they do what they do to be in it. It's no wonder to me that boosted her sales. And what trips me out is people saying it wasn't planned...don't tell me that after all those Janet/Justin rumors, she's still going to rub her ass all over him on stage and think people aren't going to talk about it. And that whole shock look that came afterwards, can't even believe reports are acting like people are buying into it as they state people are buying into also, as they try and get more people to continue to buy and believe into all that bs. If the media were so ashamed of Janet showing off her breast, why aren't they ashamed to show the Madonna and Britney kiss a dozen times over all over the papers and t.v promoting it as if it's all good. Now for people who are for it, I'm talking that there's people out there that are all for showing Janet's breasts also, so what the heck is so dam* surprising these days, and anyone would think Janet would be careful, especially with her brother's life on the line, so the apologies are worthless. That shi* was an act.

I don't know anything about you, but based on this statement I don't have any respect for you either. "I work with the media!!!"

Wow, ain'tcoo something special.

Personally, I'd rather kids see a flash of part of a breast than witness the whole country going into a frenzy over a bunch of overpaid, stupid men who are trained to physically hurt each other.

Yeah, that booby is really gonna send our society right down the shitter.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

so she did it and what?

most americans have a sexual problem...showing a breast isn't offending anybody really over here in europe.

Why are there so many early pregnances in the U.S.? Because there is a lack of sexual education and this has to be explicitly done... . To make it real and not to mystify sex... .

Accept that we live in the 21st century not in the early days of the 20th.
Most people even children should know how a womens breast look...maybe from their mother?

Ridiculous that one can create such a hype in the US with a breast and your President can raid a country without reason...and no hype is following.

Thank you home of the brave. God's own country...*lol

Peace

I like explicit sexuality...still.

...MOST AMERICANS HAVE A SEXUAL PROBLEM?

...um, exactly exactly when is the last time you've lived in America, and exactly how many Americans do you actually know?

I'm not trying to be mean, Juize, but as American who lives in Europe, and understands and accepts the European view of sexuality, I think it sucks to see my European friends expect that we Americans should somehow subscribe to their views where sexuality is concerned, although I personally am not really offended by seeing a breast in public, or in most television forums. I do believe, though, that IF Janet was simply going for shock value by exposing her tits on an early evening national television broadcast IN AMERICA(i.e. not cable), she was kinda in the wrong, my friend. I know that nudity is not a big deal in Europe, and so much so that in Germany soft porn, sex phone chats, ,and tv strip teases start nightly at 11pm on televison, but WE DON'T DO THAT AT HOME IN THE STATES. It's just a cultural difference and I don't believe we should be beaten up about it. Nobody's taking a superior attitude towards Hamburg for example, for having shops on the Reeperbahn that sell magazines specializing in young asian girl pornography or what they refer to as the "teeny" market, so I would say take your head out of your ass, and cut us some slack here (and I swear I don't mean that in a BITCHY way, lol)!

As for talk about the war, I would assume that you think Americans do not care about the Iraq issue based on the heated discussion in this forum about Janet Jackson: but what I would say in response to that is that;1. You're absolutely wrong about that, and if you don't believe me you should ask some of your American friends living all over Hamburg (because we/they're EVERYWHERE!!!) 2. This is a MUSIC forum where we discuss entertainers, not international politics, and 3.If you want to discuss the your feelings about the current US Administration's foreign policy you should head on over to the POLITICS &RELIGION forum where it would be more appropriate.

Peace Back-At-Cha,

Ms. Reese

like i really care what YOU think of me? not looking for your respect darling...and my nice boobs stay inside my bra, thank you very much. and one mor ething...when you have an unrated show that is the most watched event of the year (all sprts events are not rated) and according to nielsen its one of the braodcastrs that the entire family is likely to watch togehter, she had no right KNOWINGLY altering her performance righ tbefore to show her boob--she doesn't have any kids so where's her sensitivity there? I was angry about Madonna smmoching Britney right in front of her own daughter too! IT's not right.

Starmist, you made me think of something very important. No one is talking about the rest of the performance when they WERE all over each other. Just like no one is talking about Christina & Madonna kissing. They only take what they want from it & attempt to work it to their own hypocritical advantage. The media is to blame for this one. I know people who said that they weren't even aware of what happened until the media went ridiculous over it.

It is called ENTERTAINMENT. Just the same way that the brand new print advertisement (for the Sopranos) that shows a seemingly dead naked female body. (I only caught a quick glimpse) *That* is okay though to have in every magazine & billboard?

I am very happy that there is an uproar, but I will be PISSED if things fall in bad favor for Janet. She did nothing but show a lot LESS of her body than Britney does on TRL in her new Toxic video. She was naked except for jewels strategically placed. That IS aimed at kids.

So stupid what people get their panties in a bunch about. Why doesn't anyone talk about the fact that the entire rest of her body was covered? Lil Kim & her pastie plus a little jiggle thanks to Miss Ross was much more outlandish.

MTV needs to own up to it, & take some responsibility. It is nice that Janet is taking the heat...but she doesn't need to.

my twocents

1) I don't believe Janet's breasts are fake. I don't believe they're real. I don't know. I do know that the way her bustier fit could have created the round effect on top of her breast, a look which people associate with fake breasts. I know about this stuff I have big boobs, okay?

2) It's possible ( possible ) that the red part of her outfit was meant to stay on. She was wearing a black shiny bustier with a red fabric underneath. The black part was obviously meant to come off, but the red was sticking out of the top of the black bra piece. The red seems to have been a fairly flimsy material. So possibly Justin grabbed to take off the black part, accidentally grabbed the red, and when he yanked the red tore and came off with the black top part. It's not outside the realm of possibility that what we were meant to see was the bulky star piercing sticking through the flimsy red material.
The solution would be to see the whole bit that Justin tore off or the remaining bustier, to see if the red was torn. I hope that if there is an investigation into the incident, that the bustier and/or piece were siezed.
Would explain the "wardrobe malfunction" explanation and Janet's saying it went further than intended.
Call me naive shrug
