Re: Janet fans!! Rock Witchu Tour...who's going?

I actually liked the video and the song. I guess I am in the minority. If we are talking about her worst videos though, I thought Love Me Just A Little While was her worst video.

Re: Janet fans!! Rock Witchu Tour...who's going?

Man i LOVE that song " Rock with u "... awesome track and the video is good too imo.... i like that she took it back to a "dance ' video and got rid of the special affects, coz i love to see Janet dance, she does it SO well!

I am gutted , as was really excited to hear that she was going on tour, but i read that the tour is not coming to Europe as she is having problems with the record label! fuckers!!! WE WANT A TOUR HERE IN THE UK!!!!!

Re: Miss Janet gets nasty with her record company

I personally loved the two songs released " Feedback " was awesome and so is " Rock with U' how they have not done well is beyond Me , this women is a legend! and has been through some tough times in her personal and career lives..

I so hope this is not the end of her, she must fight to regain her popularity and show us hard core fans that she is still the Janet that we love !

I am praying she comes to UK with her tour, i will DEF be there!! i have and always will love Janet and her music.. .she is made of hard stuff and i thing she will come back fighting!!

GO JANET!!! Miss Jackson if your nasty!! :O)

Re: Miss Janet gets nasty with her record company

^^ I'm right there with you. I remember being in Birmingham during the summer of '98 and missing out on The Velvet Rope Tour back in America...Go Deep and I Get Lonely were popular at the time.

Here's to praying she fights her way to success with Discipline. She is still relevant in the entertainment industry, she doesn't need label support...she needs some confidence!

Re: Janet fans!! Rock Witchu Tour...who's going?

I think her worst video is...wait, is there such a thing? I don't have a least favourite video from Janet! I know the fans were critical of RWU and even Call On Me, but I like both.

Re: Miss Janet gets nasty with her record company

>>>hard to get your foot in the door for payola if u don't have a record label backing you up. even if you're miss jackson.

Don't go throwing around the P-word unless you've got some evidence, kind sir. I'm in my second decade of this game. Have I seen payola? Yes. But it's not at all what people think it is.

If Janet's song didn't take off, it's not because somebody didn't write a check. That I can guarantee.

Re: Miss Janet gets nasty with her record company

I could never sleep my way to the top
'Cause my alarm clock always wakes me right up
And since my options had been whittled away
I struck a bargain with my radio DJ

I said "I'd like this song to be number one."
He said "i'd really really like to help you, my son."
And then I knew that I would have him to thank
Because he asked me how much I had in the bank

He said to think "long-term investment" and
That all the others had forgiven themselves
He said the net reward would justify
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives

He said the record wouldn't have to be hot
And no one ever seemed to care if it's not
It would depend on something else that I've got
And that the other ones who've given it a shot

Had seen a modest sum grow geometrically
And then they had forgiven themselves
Because the net reward had justified
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives.

Hey, Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal
I thought you said, "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your record"
And I thought you said we had a deal

Well, I told you about the world (it's a dress)
I wonder when they're gonna clean up the mess
You know the rabid child is still tuning in
Chess Piece Face's patience must be wearing thin
Because they haven't played this song on the air
Not that anyone but me even cared
And the disk jockey has moved out of town
The district courthouse says he's nowhere to be found

Hey Mr. DJ, i thought you said we had a deal
I thought you said, "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your record"
And I thought you said we had a deal.

Oh, most certainly. But one of long duration. Been around for over twenty years now.

Don't give up hope, luckily the record company has nothing to do with the tour. That article was talking about the promotional tour for the album. Janet needs to tour Europe again, Janet is known for her stage shows. I remember how big the last tour was in Europe. I was the the Manchester, Birmingham, and Newcastle shows. Never say never...Janet isn't

It was suppose to start in Vancouver. Trucks with the stage were hold up at the border

And they lived in Vancouver as they rehearsed

Re: Miss Janet gets nasty with her record company

As much as I love Janet, I think she's lost her sense of relevance in the music industry. I also thought "Feedback" was great, but "Rock With U" was pretty generic.

She hasn't evolved past the sex kitten stage. When she moved to empowered young woman in "Control" to socially aware woman in "Rhythm Nation" to sexually awakened woman in "janet" to sexually adventureous in "Velvet Rope" to mature woman in love in "All for You" - she didn't move further. Her albums stopped mattering so she lost relevance.

Hate to say that because I love her, but I stopped buying her album after hearing the disappointing Damita Jo.

 

[954dude]

Re: Miss Janet gets nasty with her record company

I think Damita Jo is one of her most creative and diverse works. Of course it's pretty much an album on "how to f*ck", but it's a great spin on a woman in her late 30's reaching her sexual peak. And I kinda "lost my innocence" to this album, so it's special to me.

Oh well, to each his own.

Re: Miss Janet gets nasty with her record company

I didn't like DJ much at all. It seemed like a rehash of Mimi, plotwise - "there's this secret other woman inside me...and she's really sexually adventurous". Got it. The music sounded a bit different, at least, but that was almost completely due to who was sitting behind the board.

Damita Jo isn't everyone's cup of tea. The pros are the lyrics are more daring, the music production is different from her other albums, and her vocals are spot-on. The cons are it's borderline porn and the material stands small next to her earlier works.

It was released a year before Mimi, so there's no rehash. Miss Jackson is a freak!
