Janet Jackson: Official Topic

[Black Kitten]

^ awesome!!! thanks!

[Black Kitten]

Count Janet Jackson as the latest musician to buy a ticket to ride on the Twitter express. The singer launched her official Twitter feed last week, and though she only has two tweets in nine days, she has already broken some news. First, she announced that she recently wrapped production on "Why Did I Get Married Too," Tyler Perry's latest film. The sequel to "Why Did I Get Married?" (which also featured Janet in a starring role) is currently scheduled for release in April of next year.

 

But perhaps the bigger news was the addendum on her last tweet. Janet wrote that she is "looking forward to getting started on my new album!" Her next project should be quite the affair, as she has no shortage of personal stories to write about: There's the death of her brother Michael, her taxing Rock Witchu tour, the end of her seven year relationship with Jermaine Dupri and the termination of her label deal.

 

Janet's approach to Twitter will be fascinating. Will she use it simply as a promotional tool or will she become an over-sharer like John Mayer or Miley Cyrus? Will she take the Mariah Carey route and use it to build strangely influential relationships with her fans? Will she simply rap in the guise of an injured MC's body part? (That last one seems unlikely.) Regardless, the next few months will probably be busy for Janet, as she'll be working on the album, still dealing with the aftermath of Michael's death (including the possible care of his children) and working out a business deal for distribution and promotion for her upcoming projects. Regardless, Janet's next album will immediately become one of the most hotly-anticipated of the year when it finally rolls out.

Janet will be opening this year's VMA!!! She will pay tribute to her brother Michael! Can't wait to see her perform!

[Black Kitten]

would be awesome if she performs a virtual duet with brother Michael on the song Scream.

[Lymon]

would be awesome if she performs a virtual duet with brother Michael on the song Scream.

 

I have a feeling she'll do Together Again or something.

[trls]

Together again sounds most appropriate. Hope the performance doesn't dissapoint.

Janet Jackson dropped her first single 'Make Me,' off her upcoming album, '#1's' -- a two CD set comprised of 30 global number-one hits. The album is set to release on Nov. 17, but you can listen to the disco-sounding single (which references lyrics from Michael Jackson's 1979 hit 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough') on AOL Radio's New Pop First station.

 

-----------------------

 

this is definitely something to look forward to! Whitney, Mariah, Madonna, and now Janet Jackson! can't wait for this! :clap: (still hoping something from our Celine though...)

[Stardust]

Alright, this thread hasn't been updated in a LOOOONG time, so i'll do some updates (some very old and some new):

 

1. The Make Me music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlWB8Qop4Pw

 

2. Janet is starring in the sequel to Why Did I Get Married?, called Why Did I Get Married Too? and it's out soon! The poster for the movie: http://basemagazineonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/41_1747_20100217190130_tyler-perry.jpg

 

3. The trailer for Why Did I Get Married Too?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSONVGYiIHo

 

4. Pictures of Janet at the WDIGMT premiere in NYC: http://i43.tinypic.com/30wnpxt.jpg http://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/janet-reb.jpg

 

5. Janet recorded a song called Nothing for the WDIGMT soundtrack! It's produced by Jermaine Dupri and it's a soft ballad. Listen to the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86jAzimqFkg

 

6. Behind the Scenes of the Nothing music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54lbrUA9MBI

 

7. Janet did vocals for a Pitbull track produced by Darkchild. It's called HeartBeatLove. Janet said that she did the song "for fun". Listen to the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28hkR0tNgV4

 

8. Janet said that she isn't working on a new album. More here:

 

Janet Jackson may have two songs in rotation — “Nothing” and her Pitbull team-up “Heartbeat Love” — but fans anxious to hear her follow-up to 2008’s Discipline have a long wait ahead of them: Jackson tells Rolling Stone she’s not currently working on an album.

 

“There was a time where I was actually in the studio and I was recording, but I’m not working on an album,” she says. “There have been a lot of record labels that have asked me to sit down and talk with them, but I don’t know if I want to do something completely independent, or go with a major.” Discipline was Jackson’s first disc on Def Jam after she left her longtime label Virgin.

 

So what about the new songs? “Nothing” is a one-off she co-wrote and co-produced with Jermaine Dupri for the new Tyler Perry film Why Did I Get Married Too?, and the lyrics reflect the tensions and turmoil between characters, like Angela’s trust issues with Marcus (”You can even have the password to my phone”), as well as her own character Patricia’s guilt and regret over Gavin (”We should cherish every moment like it’s the last”). As for the second song, Jackson said she did it as a favor for Rodney Jerkins, for “fun.”

 

When Jackson does return to the studio, she’s not sure whether she’ll work toward a classic pop album (as “Nothing” might indicate) or do something more dance club-oriented (like “Heartbeat Love”): “I haven’t decided on exactly where I want to go or what I want to do.”

Discipline sucked really bad. But it was better than the dire 20 YO. I love Janet, have always loved her - but her current work leaves little to be desired..

Hey,

 

I'm not really sure where to put this, or if I can even put it here. Anyway.

 

I have a collection on Janet Jackson vinyls, all in the original sleeves, including picture discs, and radio promos with some rare remixes. I'm not putting ridiculous prices on them, as I've seen some people do either.

 

If anybody is a Janet fan, and is interested, or wants more information, pm me, or email me at jlawrence2008@live.com

 

ps. Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
