Comment: I feel ya Prettieyez and Soopdawwg. I am not a Janet fan. I have noticed that she hasn't gotten the support of anyone, except JD. Even before her album was released, it appeared that she was all alone. I have her CD and I think the tracks are great. I think JD is better at producing records than promoting. However, he is much better at presiding than JAY-Z, the media w.h.o.r.e

Comment: If JD was the president, doesn't he control the promotions? SInce he produced and Exec. Produced the CD, isn't he responsible for the sound? I liked the CD, but I guess I was in the minority.

Comment: JAM-LEWIS.......JAM-LEWIS......JAM-LEWIS.....HELLO???? THAT WAS THE FIRST MISTAKE! IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!! THE ALBUM IS "OK", BUT NOWHERE NEAR WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH THE DYNAMIC DUO OVERSEEING IT. THE MOMENT I HEARD THEY WASN'T THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS OVER IT, I SMELLED F-L-O-P.....I REST MY CASE!!!! BY JANET JUMPING IN THE HIPHOP ARENA, SHE LOST 70% OF HER POP FOLLOWING. IF HER ALBUM WAS 30% HIPHOP, SHE MAY HAVE HAD A CHANCE. YOU DON'T PUT DIESEL FUEL IN AN UNLEADED TANK-----IT WON'T WORK!!!! LOL

Comment: I liked the cd also, but janet has done much better. I thought Damita Jo was much better than this. The only problem I have with this one and the other one too, is that you can barely understand what she is saying!! I love "So Excited", but you can barely understand the chorus. How can you get into a song when you can't understand what they are saying at all???
If you liked it and didn't buy the CD, then you didn't like it...We vote w/ our dollars!

Comment: digimixx> I absoulutely agree with you on that. No Jam-Lewis involved which is a flop. I hate to say it and she is still my girl but Janet has been cold for awhile. She's getting older and can't keep doing the same music she did like 20yrs ago. Got to grow into some new Janet material. It becomes boring and tiresome to listen too. Plus, just b/c hip-hop sells doesn't mean you can. JD is not all that. He is over-hyped. He is quitting b/c Virgin is not promoting too much of Janet and he is mad about it. That's all too it. Why would they promote and spend big bucks on an artist that is about to leave??

Comment: If JD quit because of this he really needs to get a grip. You can't just throw your career away because you fell in love. I'm sure he can bounce back I just hope he doesn't regret it if things don't work out with Janet.

Comment: The source here is Roger Friedman, so you can't really put too much stock into what he says, but IF!! JD really quit because of Janet's "lack of Promotion" then that's sad because in my opinion Janet has been everywhere promoting this CD...The CD failed because Janet is trying to appeal to the younger demographic (who consider her way too old) and ignored her fan base who made her an ICON!!! Janet and I are the same age, what happened to making a CD that's GROWN UP and that WE like, she's too old to be making bubblegum pop music...Janet its time to mature and realize that your fan base have grown and gotten older just like you have, if i want to listen to bubblegum I'll buy Cassie or Ciara (though not in this lifetime) but that's just my opinion...

Comment: Anyone who knows saw this coming. Janet is not as relevant of an artist as people want her to be. She is competing with people who could be her children in age and the market changed. Dupri tried to make her relevant and it did not work, she has a nitche market and she ignored them, the thing is the album is not that bad at all if you like snappy bits and minimal vocals. Dupri so far when you look at it has not been a bad department head for Virgin but not a great one either, people can say Jay-Z is this and that, but this year Def Jam dropped hits and is relevant once again after being a bust for a few years, so it all goes in cycles. Dupri will rise again because he is a great producer, maybe he does not need to sit behind a desk.

be your man and go back to the Jam crew

I question whether JD could be objective where Janet's music is concerned. Also, why would he allow Janet to pimp herself by posing the way she did on the covers of King and Vibe magazines?

Comment: I heard about this Thrusday night, and wondered when would EUR post this. I don't believe Jermaine quit, if anythin he left before he was asked to. The Virgin investment in Janet didn't work, and I do agree with the poster who said the major downfall was not Jam & Lewis. I always said, the day she made a record w/o them -- it's over. I remember reading in EUR last week the poster who wrote that "it's really bad when you go on Oprah and don't move records". They (Jermaine) can not blame this on promotion -- she was everywhere. What Janet did do was cost MTV something like 10mil plus fines over the Superbowl mess. I'm not a MTV watcher but I know they didn't support. She had an opportunity to say something, anything with this project - she said nothing. She got paid, I just wonder where the next deal will come from, and I hope to God Whitney does not do the same thing!!!

Comment: Who's decision was it for Jam & Lewis NOT to produce this last album? 1) I think Jermaine's too emotionally involved, especially if his quit a damned good job over some low album sales. 2) Nobody can be #1 forever! I wonder if Jermaine was like, "you see what I did for Mariah! I can do the same for you, but better, cos you my Boo...". I dunno. Personally, if I'd heard anything good from the album, I might've picked up a copy myself. I also gotta admit that I got sick of seein' her cleavage EVERYWHERE. I mean, just beg Hugh Hefner to put yo'...erm, "mature" azz in Playboy n' get it over with. Showin' yo' cash n' prizes everywhere you go. Enough already! But hey, that's just my $0.02. Thanx for reading. :)

Comment: And so now we are all left with about 20 to 30 magazines of Janet in the grocery and drugstores in the magazine isle and up front by the registers. Janet lookin %*$ out (no pun intended, but then again! LOL!) rights abouts now. Umph. she just embarassed herself in a brand new way this time. Or should I say again? I wonder if this is truly her making all these bad moves or the people behind the scenes who handle her. This was/is a mess. Sad.

Comment: Hi Gingerg, I think Justin's rebound may hafta do with a couple of things. 1) His music's actually GOOD! Just hearin' his 1st 2 singles made me run out n' get his CD! Maybe Janet should have Timbaland produce something for her. It's workin' for Justin and Nellie Furtado! 2) Justin has a die-hard fan base from his NSync days. Even if he did put out some crap tunes, he'd sell. Them little YT chicks are loyal!

Comment: Like the earlier report said, now she gonna move on to gettin with Justin again on stage. She needs to stop while she is behind. Janet, do not do the performance with Justin ya'll got planned again. Save yourself while you can. I think even more embarassment and disgrace is headed her way of she chooses to do that with him. Janet, just quietly put this project behind you and move on. I wonder how many millions were spent on this whole 20 Y.O. project. Anybody know?

Comment: I've been a big Janet fan since the early eighties purchasing her very first album. I listen to this album and I really did not like it. It just was not a good album. I think the big difference is not enough Jam and Lewis. You can really tell the difference.
If Janet wants to do another great album she needs to do it with Jam and Lewis and Tell Dupri to just remain her lover.

Comment: >ss69054 - I agree with you. I think with this project, Jan will realize it's time to move into another musical direction, and out of the "Ciara/Rhianna/Brittney" music genre - it works for 20 year olds, but, after 20 years, you should already be at another level of music, entirely.

Comment: And Janet was really out there pushing this record: performing on the Today show, doing a corny Top 25 countdown on BET, etc. Oh well. Sorry, baby girl. But the market for marginal albums (and good ones too) is difficult these days, particularly when you can download music for free (Limewire, et. al) or close to it (my best buddy in Philly gets most of his music from some Russian site...can't think of its name... that sells songs for 9 cents each).

Comment: LOL@Boot !
Really, when you are trying to act 20 @ 40 seriously, you need to get it together. I think Janet needs to get all new publicist and try to turn it around into a dance thing. Like Cher and Madonna do. They will always have a fan base because they switch up to club music. It might work for her, cause hip hop is not it. I want to see what happens in Mariah's case, that's another one who needs to cover up. But in her case, she at least has the pipes, janet does not.

Comment: Someone said Janet was pimped out on the covers of King and Vibe, and I most wholeheartedly agree, but has anyone seen the pic on the inside of Beyonce's CD cover? Good damn grief. That %*$!e is one step from being pimped out too. Dang. That photo looked like a King pic too. That really threw me. I just got her CD yesterday and only for one song (Deja Vu) so I'm mad. 'Cause I ain't feeling the rest of it. But back to the matter at hand...

Comment: The album is good. Jer Dupri quitting has nothing to do with Janet's album sales. Watch.... artist are leaving major records label to become independent. This has nothing to do with Janet/dupri PR relationship. Dupri is one the best producers! No offense to Jam/Lewis... their my favorites. Janet doesn't need to compete for children anymore, but doesn't mean I want "Air Supply" AC type of music either. Still do some dance hits but give us something else than hip hop. Also "Call On Me" went number one for 1 week on R&B charts which I find very strange because the single stuggled big time. It jumped from 6 to #1 in one week. Obviously, Virgin downloaded her single big time to make moves like that. The following week she dropped a number of places down. On the Hot 100 she has peaked at #6 or 7.

Comment: Friedman just loves to give negative news involving a Jackson, doesn't he? I bet JD being told to leave (I don't think he quit) had to do with all that ish he was talking last week about the label. I bet that was the last straw. Whoever said Janet should do dance tracks like Madonna and Cher, I think that is a good idea. The lite FM stations still play "Together Again" on a daily basis, but I doubt we'll be hearing "Call on Me" next month, let along 10 years from now. Like I said before, artists with staying power evolve. Janet is relying on her fake boobs to sell records. Janet, we've seen them already! Try something else...like, um, learning to sing. Diddy has a good coach. I wanna see Janet singing "I'll love you for-evvv-er" with Betty Wright like the girls on Making the Band!

Comment: Janet will be ahhiite in the end because of her so-so-loyal fan base, album sales doing well or poorly, they will always there for her.
Meanwhile, I saw Ms. Janet on TV One's Access Hollywood this weekend going shopping in France. As usual, when Black artists don't do too well in The States, they have a history of going to Europe and doing incredibly well for years, decades even. Janet-Boo-Boo will be alright in the end. She just needs to make some changes in her camp. Shiiii...maybe when Steve Harvey told her live on the air "You need to get rid of some people in your entourage and circle, etc." maybe he wasn't too far off from the bigger truth! ;) Ya heard?!?! ;) You didn't know?! Ya better ask somebody!

Comment: It amazes me how any oppty to bash some one, ya'll take.
I mean ya'll go LOWWWW..Janet CD is banging. But everything
is a matter of a opinion. I'm starting to believe that there
is really no desire by many to even take a "real" listen at her
CD. Because in their minds they have written her off. Some maybe
because of self hatred not wanting to see here because she may be the
same age as them and they look 70 and she looks 20. A lot of different things
but one thingher CD is not, is a flop. That CD bangs from the Gate, the beginning
to the end. U hate that the world was not able to feel that vibe. Just
think about it. Janet has ALLLL the lyrics to every song in the CD blanket and
the main argument is that people can not hear what she is saying. LMAO,..there will
ever be anyting Janet can do to please MOFO's like ya'll or that writer
her wrote this story. Jermaine is %*$!ed because he knows that MTV I.e Viacom
has their hands dirty in this whole Jackson Saga. It is much bigger then record sales.
Somethign is amidst,..and Jermaine knows what it is. I do not think that it will be too much
longer when the truth goes public on this Jackson hateration but what goes on in the
dark will soon come to late. Believe that.. so Viacom..It aint over.

Comment: First of all, JD was getting the ax but to make himself look better, he quit.
I find it interesting that he could produce hit songs for Mariah and Bow Wow, and almost everyone under the sun but yet, he couldn't produce not even one top 100 song for Janet?? I think he is playing her in order to see if she is just with him because she thinks JD will help her career. I wonder if she will stick with JD after her album flopped or will she give him another shot. I guess only time will tell. Her album btw, has sold only around 360,000 copies so far.

I say you but I mean "you" as a group of others who have nothing real to say about Janet. Janet Cd is

Comment: Point taken, but the album could have been so much better. It's watered down musically, and all the "LUSH" arrangements she is known for are totally MIA. I love Jermaine's skillz, but NOT over Janet's entire album. He could have "sprinkled" a few here or there, but not the whole damn thing! THAT's where the mistake was made---instead of gradually migrating Janet to HipHop, she was just THROWN IN. Just look at the fan base she abandoned----the very ones that got her where she is. And she wonders what's up with the sales??????

Like every presenter is advised.. know your audience.. appeal to them.. she just didnt do her homework and she needed to put some effort into it because she does have the raw talent to fall on..no voice..no instrument playing, etc.. Justin is doing good because the Michael Jackson formula still works..it worked for Usher, Chris Brown, Omarian,etc..and MTV backs him..

Out of 16 tracks (excluding her segues) I'd say there are 3 tracks that are decent. The rest? Throwaways for real. I'm glad I didn't buy it but hen again I wasn't going to.

Most people will probabaly laugh about that when and if it happens becuz its so obvious what they would be doing if they did it. They've been doing that with other folks too - Usher being one of em even though his did well without that sales move. Can anyone say nice coasters? LOL!

Comment: I wonder if many of you actually listened to her CD, for real, not skimmed it at a listening station. 20 Y.O. is beyond "okay," it's a great CD. The only filler is Call on Me. The music is actually a nice mix of 80's influences with some dirty south flourishes, and it does work. The CD hasn't been out a good month, and it's a flop because it hasn't sold a half million copies yet????? Does that make any sense? Does Roger Friedman mention that the CD has sold very close to 500,000 copies already? Does he mention that COM was a #1 R&B song for 2 weeks actually, 20 Y.O. hit #1 on the R&B album chart and #2 on the Top 200? So Excited has joined COM in the Top 40 on the R&B charts, which means she already has two urban hits. That's not even to mention that COM was a Top 25 Hot 100 hit as well...I'm stating these facts to drum through the empty heads of a lot of you posters that Janet's music career, here in the States, is in a much healthier place than these white media people are portraying. Don't believe the hype! And damn, if not Janet, who the hell do y'all want to see succeed?? Y'all got no love for the same woman who brought us Penny, Charlene, Justice, and at least five bomb %*$ CDs and countless great videos? Y'all are celebrating her "perceived" decline? What kind of messed up lives are y'all living?

Comment: langston, cool! I respect you and your words. I love the Jackson family myself. I love em dearly to my heart cuz I grew up with em. I hear your points though. I wish the best for all them. Truly I do. You make good points. I only kid because I want to see them do better and honestly I feel they know better. They been in the biz so long, there are certain mistakes I don't expect em to make music and career wise. Do u know how much money has been invested into that family over a 30 year period? It's mind blowing when u add it all up. On Janet, I just feel she coulda been on to something else 3, maybe 4 albums ago. On a whole nother road, you feel me? This accident of an album is something that coulda been way better. I hrd 3 good tracks -that was it - and I love me some Janet too. Please beleebe me! LOL! ;) I just feel like when things get past the point where we all are sayin - "Now, Come On!" That usually means its Been time to move on. It's just lil common sense things. But once again, maybe its not on Janet, maybe its on her handlers. All I know is 20 Y.O. could have been the Shiznit Times 10. Instead we got a lukewarm semi-duds with a bunch of Janet nakedness in the grocery stores showing her fine body (nice! lol.) but now what? You feel me? By the quality of the album sucking at least 7 to 10 on a suck level, 10 being the utmost of sucking (lol, is that possible? a suck level? OK, it sucks! LOL.) it makes her look even more foolish when I think we all feel she should no better by now. esp. after the superbowl thing. I heard an old man talking about her about a month ago who told me in the grocery store - he held up one of the mags and said "now, young lady right here is taking a gamble. She gambilin' now." Everybody in line got what he said. Those words have stuck with me all up til now.And that was before the album came out. It;s just sad because it doesnt have to be that way for Janet. She coulda BEEN moved on to something better by now, instead she still goin with the fake lil girl act. What year is this?

Comment: Langston- i don't think anyone is disputing the fact that her singles have reached #1 on the R&B charts. THe observation that has everyone's attention is how quickly the album is falling off the charts. Visit Billboard.com. According to the top 200, she peaked at #2; Last week she was number 9 and this week she's number 19. It's unlikely the numbers will go up. And if she does sell over 500,000 units, at the rate she's going, she'll probably crawl to the finish line.

Comment: Since most of us are NOT producers or in the business we have to think from our own frame of reference. A successful business man KNOWS the right formula and does not have to guess...JD is THAT! He is not so love struck he will FORGET what side of the bread his butter is on. I am sure he is jumping ship to consider something that would be more lucrative than his current situation. I would not believe a man like JD would be so stupid to make a business decision stricted because of who he is laying with. Janet has been in the business long enough to KNOW even if he does not! Music SELLS if PEOPLE BUY IT... if they don't it's back to the drawing board. I think the concept of turning back the hands of time or remembering the time was GREAT. I believe Janet does not have to "bare the burden of being nude". (pardon the pun) She is someone who has actual talent. While SHE, like the rest of us, are getting older I don't believe she is a cow ready for the pasture due to AGE. Stars like Mike Jagger (who happens to be the age of my Mother) LIVES on with immortal loyalty and dedication. Why can't JANET??!

Comment: When Janet did Saturday Nite Live - aside from all the other acting stuff she's done over the years, it reconfirmed to me that that girl can act even when playing around. She gets into it. She should pursue that full force. If I was her man I would tell her that. ;)
