DID MTV BLACKLIST JANET JACKSON?
Saturday, July 29, 2006

GIANT MAGAZINE ONLINE posted up some possible evidence of this blacklist:
* Janet Jackson is an undisputed BIG STAR whose first video (”Call on Me”) from her upcoming album should by all expectations get a big premiere and heavy rotation on the premier music video network.* Further evidence of her BIG STARDOM: The recent issue of US Weekly that featured a newly svelte Janet on the cover was their highest-selling issue ever.
* The video has already aired on BET, where it premiered on Wednesday.
* Janet fans have posted in droves on the MTV.com message boards requesting the Janet video…and many of those posts have since been deleted.
* Janet Jackson received, and still continues to receive, considerable fallout from her 2004 Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction,” and many fans equate that with her being blacklisted.
* The 2004 Super Bowl aired on CBS, and the halftime show was produced by MTV.
* CBS & MTV is owned by Viacom.
Isn’t BET owned by them too?? Anyway, if you are one of her outraged fans, go ahead and sign the ONLINE PETITION someone started up.

@ Intef. How you gonna tell people which Janet album or songs they feelin? LMAO. Yeah, some of the songs you mentioned that were released after Rhythym Nation were alright but Rhythym Nation is the only Janet album I’ve ever purchased. I don’t think people have to lie about what artists they like from who they don’t like so when I say I haven’t been feelin her since Rhythym Nation I MEAN IT!!! lol Also, I don’t even watch MTV - with the exception for some of their reality shows but if I’m watching videos its strictly BET. Which works out since videos is all BET plays anyway - but thats a discussion we’ll save for another day.

Oh boy, ya’ll are playing the “O woe is me I’m black” race card again. MTV just listened to Janets song “What have you done for me lately” and figured out she has done nothing except:
1. Screw them by whipping out a big, floppy Boob on TV for kids to see, just to stir up sales.
2. Completely LIE about it, bringing her PERSONAL integrity into play.
3. And cause them to be fined, and new LAWS to be implemented because of this.
Now, say if the above NEVER happened, that video and song completely SUCK!! The song is underwhelming and Nelly done lost his mind to even be in that shit. At a certain age you start to loose the connection with your target audience (young people) and that song is proof.
Face the facts. Justine is not blacklisted because the investigation revealed that JANET PUT HIM UP TO IT!!
And the president of MTV, Christina Norman IS black, contrary to what #35 says, Mrs Norman is featured in EBONY as a succesful BLACK minority, so all the race arguments are not valid, find something else.

@ GG Boo #71, Janet was invited to the SB b/c her album (Damita Jo) was coming out. They generally don’t invite artists to perform at the SB unless they’re hot or promoting something that’s about to drop. Just thought you’d like to know.

I am a huge fan of Janet and I disagree with MTV.
First, nobody has to play the race card because it is simply the truth, which certain people seem have a hard time with accepting.
1. Remember in 1989, Madonna’s vulgar video “Justify My Love” the video that MTV banned due to it’s explict pornagraphic scences. MTV banned Madonna’s video but continued to support her music.Remember?
2. Madonna came out again in 1992, with another erotic video called “Erotica” and MTV played that piece of trash video.
-Well MTV had no problem with promoting that piece of ish; Explict Content And All
3. Britney and Madonna lock lips at the 2003 MTV VMAs
and that was down right trifling.
-That kiss had everything to do with both artist and MTV getting more promtion and Britney/Madonna furthering their record sales.
I never heard that Janet put Justin T. up to pull that stunt and I don’t care because the last time I checked Justin T. took off her clothes not Janet. If, Justin was that stupid to pull a stunt like that then I think he should suffer the same consquences as Janet.
I like janet and nobody is pulling the race card; some people recognize that MTV decision towards not supporting Janet has nothing to do with her content and-Stevie Wonder can see through that.
MTV has been contradicting themselves for along time and it’s getting old because the situation just doesn’t add up.

Umm… maybe they aren’t playing you cause the shit is horrible and Justin’s has been requested more. Who really cares about the superbowl anymore. She’s always blaming someone else for that. Janet said they played the superbowl incident up more so they wouldn’t talk about President Bush. Whatever, she ain’t that damn special.

Just to let you guys know the reason that MTV is not promoting her (IT IS IN THE database). Is because she would not give them an interview on the Superbowl issue she declined. I THINK (not positive) that Justin did. The reason is stated on her MAIN WEBSITE JD CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS THE REASON>

How can people say Janet is washed up and nobody like her when janet single call on me is #25 on billboard hot 100 and Justin is nowhere to be found, not everybody is requesting justin so don’t go there.
They didnt premeire Janet video until her fans started a petition about janet video callon me because they wasn’t going to play it all.

MTV is for the young generation my ass. In that case, Madonna should never be on my got damn TV screen. Age has nothing to do with music television (as they call themselves). The network is a neutral station - they play ALL music regardless of who it is by, how old they are, how famous, so on and so forth. MTV is not for any sort of generation specifically, its just a music video station (lol). So spare me with the “oh, they dont play it cause its garbage,” Because MTV has a reputation for playing good quality music right. How soon we forget, this station jumped start the careers of ……….Ashlee Simspon, Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. Sit down.
You know its sad when there’s a lack of respect for our icon. Janet Jackson is NOT a has-been singer. She is a legend and an Icon. Get it right. Paula Abdul is a has-been. You dont have a 20 year career and be a has-been. Thats a contradiction.
They arent playing the video because it’s a huge smelly pile of triceratops crap!!!!!Haha, since when did that ever matter to MTV? Ahhhh that was classic - ROFLMAO. I know I shouldnt be laughing at my own jokes, lol
Reply to #30 - You know, maybe they just like putting out music? Ever thought of that? Its not about leaving while you’re on top and all that bogus crap. At this point its not even about proving yourself to anyone, or money anymore. Why cant someone be aloud to make music regardless of age or status? How do you just tell someone to “stop” making music? Especially for someone who’s been doing it for so long. Its their life, their career, so who are you [generally speaking] to dictate on what they “should” do?
who cares shes just an older beyonce wants all the damm attention goaway janetJanet is just an older Beyonce? Damn, who’s letting out the 12 years olds on ConreteLoop again? Damn. Janet-who-keeps-her-personal-life-a-secret-for-more-than-decade-now-private-Jackson’s ass wants all the attention. Make like the wind and blow (lol I shouldnt be aloud here when its 12 AM). Really, did you even read the entry? Its the fans who are demanding for her to be played on MTV. But either way, she should be played on the station just as every other artist who gets that privledge aswell.
Face the facts. Justine is not blacklisted because the investigation revealed that JANET PUT HIM UP TO IT!!BECAUSE JUSTIN COULDNT HAVE SAID NO? BECAUSE JUSTIN DOESNT HAVE A BRAIN OF HIS OWN? BECAUSE JANET HAD A GUN TO HIS HEAD AND THREATENED HIM TO SHOW HER TITTIE OR ELSE? Spare me the information about MTV had to suffer with the FCC fines and CBS bullshit, it wont inspire sympathy or understanding from me. We’re talking about a station that has an annual show called “Spring Break” where horny teenage white kids lick whip cream off each other. The same station that had Britney Spears and Xtina kiss Madonna for their annual Video Music Award show. Sorry, they dont have my condolences lol
@ GG Boo #71, Janet was invited to the SB b/c her album (Damita Jo) was coming out. They generally don’t invite artists to perform at the SB unless they’re hot or promoting something that’s about to drop. Just thought you’d like to know.Maybe you’d like to know that Janet was not promoting Damita Jo - an album that wasnt even finished at that time - when she was asked to perform in 2003 on the 2004 Superbowl. If promotion was the case, why didnt you perform a new song off the album? How will people know you have something new coming out if you dont? She did an relatively old song (All for you) and an even older one (Rhythm Nation). Than when the breast - the supposive “stunt” to generate record sells [mind you, no motive considering her last album was a hit] - was during Justin Timberlake’s song (Rock Your Body). Now, how do you promote your new album and/or project by pulling a “publicity stunt” on somebody elses song? lol I rest my case.

Janet said they played the superbowl incident up more so they wouldn’t talk about President Bush. Whatever, she ain’t that damn special.
Justin’s was not requested for shit. They gave him a World Premiere. As far as I know, it takes some time after that for the video to be eligible to be voted on TRL. Quality has absolutely nothing to do with it when you have a station that started and supported Ashlee Simpson’s career and a show called “Pimp My Ride” and “Yo Momma”.
Who care about the superbowl anymore? MTV. CBS. FCC. They are the ones who openly said it, lol Pay attention! I’m schooling ya’ll. Janet blamed no one - she didnt even speak about it indepthly. Whatever Bush comment Janet said wasnt meant to be taken litterally. And honestly, is that not what the media does anyway, in any event? This was during the height of the Iraq war conflicting opinions, but all the media could talk about was a 2-second flash of a breast. Yeah, I’d say that was a little dumb too. lol

Why when some tells you the reason you guys want to still debate about it and IGNORE the actual reason.
I will state this like Quincy (thanks) said before the reason is on her Offical website people. JD said that MTV wanted an interview from Janet about the incident but she declined she is saving it for Oprah. So they are not going to promote it and yes it is in the DATABASE ans was on there last week when they premiered it on BET, but MTV did not Premiere it on TRL.
I am not saying that they are right or anything (cuz I know ya’ll are going to write me a book about “that still does not make it right”)
BUT THAT IS THE REASON.

yea ever since that she went downhill….such a shame
i love her album cover…she looks nice and soft
oh n as for the whole black list
i agree but janet put herself in that situation
wtf was she thinking to perform with justin? he was in it for himself trying to make her look like a fool, which he succeeded in because she did look like the fool by showing her breast. but janet needs to be smarter when making choices cause justin is making much dollars that janet should be making. and she needs to make better choices in men cause jermaine makes her look like a fool too

#82 clueless– ummm that was exactly my point…Superbowl folks aren’t going to ask someone to perform if they are “washed up” or a “has been” as some people are saying. She is a legend, she’s still hot and still producing great music. There are a lot of people releasing albums all the time, but if you aren’t a great artist/performer/legend Superbowl Folks aren’t going to ask you to do anything..Read my post one more time (not trying to be smart, but for real…)

1st off, can people stop crying RACISM & pointing the finger.
As far as I get remember they were BOTH in the show; so either they BOTH get played or they BOTH don’t get played its tha simple. You can’t really say one is more wrong in this situation.
But I guess MTV is going to be wrong either way, huh?

This is like when her Michael Jackson started crying racism because his latest album wasn’t selling. And he called his record label racist and got Al Sharpton and everything involved, like they were gonna do some freaking million man march and ish. Must run in their family to cry racism when it’s just their music sucks.
Anyways, some of ya’ll have some really jacked up priorties. I mean damn come on black people. It’s a shame that we are more worry about Janet’s million dollar career and not about whether our kids ar eating, getting educated, etc. Ya’ll run out and protest MTV because they arent’ selling Janet’s wack music or protest Crystal (which most of ya’ll couldnt’ afford in the first place) because that fool Jay-Z said so, but you can’t even wait in line to vote at during the presidential election???! Seriously people, I wish you would be this active and passionate come the election time. If black folks got this riled up during the Bush wouldn’t be president now would he? Man, black folks have their priorities jacked up.

———————–
Are we related??? LOL. But seriously, I hear what your saying. I’ve pointed out the exact same thing on other posts about gas prices, education, etc. but I think it falls on deaf ears because either:
a) people don’t come on this site to hear that shit and don’t want to be preached to
b) the people that are doing what you and I suggest spend too much time actually doing that kind of stuff to have time for CL
OR
c) people like you and I actually do that and spend time on CL but the number of us just isn’t strong enough to make a difference.
I’m sure there are other variables but I feel those are the main ones.
Now I’m all for entertainment, and when I have free time (like now), I love to put in my two cents on whatever. But you have a point. If black people channeled this same energy differently things might be a whole lot different.
There’s enough room in the world for work AND play.
And I’m sure some ignorant baby will have something really smart (or stupid is a better word) to say about what I just said but guess what? I could give a rat’s ass. Thank goodness for freedom of speech.

The truth is who cares about how much money Janet is making. Get your priorties straight. This heffa will be rich even if MTV doesn’t play her stupid music. Why are ya’ll so worried about helping her get another million in her pocket.
Meanwhile most people in theblack community are poor and living in poverty. Get ya’ll priorties straight and stop playing up to these stupid causes. I wish ya’ll would spend this much time protesting in front of the stupid White House or the Senate.

@ 106 - Geisha, I don’t think the mac is saying that people on here don’t do anything for the community. I think he’s suggesting that we could be doing MORE if we used some of the same vigor and fervor when fighting for REAL causes that affect US (poverty, human rights, etc). Truth be told, there may not be enough interested people on CL to make a difference, even if we all joined forces and signed a petition for some cause or the other right now. However, it seems to me (and maybe to the mac also) that it’s obvious that there is a prevalance of intelligent black folks out there so why are we in the state we’re in? If we’re willing to rise up and sign all these petitions over a singer, why weren’t we signing petitions to get G-Dub out of the house? (They were floating around BTW)
@ the mac. I’m not trying to put words into your mouth, and this is just my interpretation, so please correct me if I’m wrong.

The same station that had Britney Spears and Xtina kiss Madonna for their annual Video Music Award show. Sorry, they dont have my condolences
that same show, the cameras switched to justin timberlake, who was in the audience for a reaction shot…all the tabloids were still pushin the justin and britney stories even though they had long broken up…now consider this, britney was saying in interviews how much she admired madonna as her inspiration even though anyone could see in her videos how she was coppin janet’s moves, so you could see how janet mightta wanted some payback…but you could definitely see how justin wouldda wanted to top his old girlfriend considering he was still being linked to her in the tabloids…but think about it, which one would be more likely to cross the line of decency, a 38 year old woman with some sense of propriety, or a 21 year old boy who needs to one up his old girlfriend? believe me, i’ve been around college white boys, and they don’t know how to act sober, let alone drunk…and he’s gettin cred with an icon, a grown woman? if they had simulated makin out, he probably wouldda tried to fuck her onstage…he needs to be bitch-slapped for that shit…he ain’t never owned up to it, punk bitch ass muthafukker!!!…but i ain’t mad about, naw…

If it is that deep than why are you on Janet’s blog commenting…I thought you were supposed to be in front of the white house protesting. Their is nothing wrong with supporting Jannet because FYI: Janet has been honored for the millions of dollars she and Micheal both raised and donated for humanitarian causes-notably the American Foundation. So what is wrong with showing Janet the same respect in return. Janet does give back to the black community.Ish-the second single released off the album -together again- FYI: A portion of the sales from the singles were donated to AIDS research and the majority of people infected with HIV and AIDS are blacks. 107 comments is not going to make or break a movement but dont critize black people for not standing up for their beliefs because we do. Have you ever been in the Peace Corps because I have and I’ve been to Africa and seen the promise land.I am a volunteer for childrens mercy hospital in my hometown. Don’t critize blacks because you don’t know what I do in my spare time and yes-I do have education. What is 107 comments-not a big deal.If you want to critize somebody. Critize CL for writing this blog not the people who comment on it because some people just the courage and balls to admitt the industry is shady.We are just her fans and it’s just not that serious.FYI-my brotha or sista rule #1 if you want to be heard by the government than create a petition or write them a letter because protesting in front of White House in today society can get a person arrested because the president will label you a terrorist and throw you in jail.

HELLO!!! VIACOM OWNS MTV, VH1, and BET ALSO!!! They figured that isn’t her audience. Justin is on MTV cuz that is his audience…Listen to SexyBack, it is catered to 18-23 yr old caucasion college girls. I hate to say btu Janet is old now. Nelly doesn’t have that crossover appeal as much anymore. So cater it to BET where the legend status and urban audience will possibly embrace. The sad part is that everybody is trippin because she is exclusivly on OUR channel…why? She is our legend! If we are that worried then we need to step up and show support and make sure that she don’t feel the void and prove that we still stand by her wheter they do or don’t!!!

#109 You are so out of reality it is not even funny and you are trying to through all black people in the same catergory-honey, I dont fall in that catergory and getting a petition started to get president bush out of office deserves credit but he can stay in office because when Nov. rolls around we only have 1 year left to put up with his ish. I think we should be more focused on lowering gas prices and returing troops from Iraq into the states but then it hard to battle against gas prices when the president literally owns a far portion of gas. Black people did not elect Bush in office -didn’t you hear or remember the scandal that took place down in Florida in 2000, it was a conspiracy because they rigged the votes. Janet has contributed more money and appreciatation toward african americans than president bush has since he has been in office-so I think a petition for Janet won’t hurt.

it’s amazing how beyonce name comes up in every damn posts. definately a force to be reckoned with(ha ha). now on to the issue at hand…now i remember people shouting racism because MTV wouldn’t play her videos and claiming she was being attacked because she’s a black woman, blah, blah, blah … THEN everyone started making these inaccurate comparisons to Madonna and that if Madonna did it people wouldn’t of cared … HUH? If Madonna’s titty would’ve flopped out at the SUPERBOWL in 1992 (at the height of her sex craze) people would’ve went MAD. They were already going mad on Madonna — MTV wasn’t playing her videos till aftermidnight (they played “Erotica” three times), banning many of her videos, she was barely selling records, only did three shows in the US with her Girlie Show tour, people claimed she had HIV/AIDS, the editor of GQ was fired for putting Madonna on the cover because she was a “has been” — now if Madonna’s titty would’ve flopped out they would’ve burnt her at the stake for the second time. At one point Madonna was the most hated female pop star in the world — there was actually a book published titled I Hate Madonna. Many argued because Madonna was a white woman she was able to do those things — but she truly wasn’t and almost lost her career until she put her clothes back on and turned into an electronica mess. Janet’s wardrobe malfunction was a publicity stunt gone AWFUL … her three or four apologies to “America,” were foolish and sad to watch. People shouted racism as if Janet was Romana Africa then suddenly Janet got real BLACK and appeared on a black awards show saying, “I’m a strong African-American woman!” What????????? You’re fake titty flopping out is a testimony to being a strong African-American? Oh, Miss Janet. I remember a time when you barely saw Janet at a black awards show and would be lucky to get a pre-recorded thank you speech … but like many black celebrities when they feel their white fan base might vanish they run back to black folks. Bottom line - that titty incident was NOT racist, so is this situation. some of y’all just need to accept that the song is weak, and the video doesn’t help it, in any shape or form, for an already weak azz song.

MTV will always promote Madonna and she is older than Janet.Madonna can have herself shown crucufied to a cross for her heading lining tour “Confessions” and MTV would still promote her no matter how degrading she makes herself out be. Janet shows on one nipple and MTV goes crazy along with America.Regardless of whether or not she did it on purpose, is irrelavant-Janet is only a human being. She has paid her dues and fines-plus some, so MTV needs to give it rest. Janet has millions of fans and MTV was smart enough to listen to her fans because they than began to recognize that their are strength in numbers when they recognized the movement was to show Janet video or be boycotted.MTV knew that they didn’t want to go down that road and numbers dont lie because some people should really look at Janet’s hot single giving her younger artist, hell on the billboard charts.Janet does not need MTV-Come Back To Reality.

i’m a janet fan but i do agree that she was played foul, but if i was a video station i wouldn’t play that shiteous video either, also if janet thinks she will sell more than mariah, she needs to go back to classic janet before the implants and stop makin shiteous, stupid songs/videos.

First of all, to the person who stated that Janet is using Jermain Dupri for publicity…Bullshit! Before JD got with Janet, he was hardly ever mentioned in the media. He was always the talented producer, but he just never seemed to get that much attention. So, in other words, Janet is the one who did him (Jermaine Dupri) a favor. Now ever where you look and read, “Janet’s boyfriend this and Janet’s boyfriend that.” As big an ICON Janet is, don’t come in here talking foolish shit like Janet having to have to use her relationship with JD because like I said, she did him a favor.

You all fail to take into account that Timberlake just admitted to being a heavy and regular
drug user…having indulged in hard drugs as well as the softer variety…Nevertheless, all illegal. In fact, he has claimed that cigarettes are more addicting than Heroin…thus strongly implying that he has used both and thus can attest to the difference between the two!!! His admission is nothing but a blatant encouragement to the youth that the reckless use of drugs, no matter how lethal is…okay!!! Now those who know anything about heroin, know that most people who get hooked on the drug die from its usage…period!!! Hence, this makes Timberlake’s admission all the more dangerous. And I think you will all recall, Britney Spears admitted to using drugs and even Lindsey Lohan…Britney however later retracted her statement and claimed it was just a misunderstanding. Now, why do I bring this all up?
In respect to Janet Jackson not receiving appropriate
exposure of MTV, this is just a simple, in you face,
case of racism!!! Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl, nude or not, does not compare to the irresponsible speech of Justin Timberlake bragging about his frequent drug binges!!! The fact is, Les Moonves…the head of CBS Television and Viacom…the owners of MTV…is a racist!!! How is there no equal treatment between Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake here? It seems to me, if they are both being judged equally in regard to the Super Bowl incident…well then, his (Timberlake’s) unrepentant boasting about his drug use should have earned him some stiff interview challenges from MTV News as well as by its VJ’s within their questions directed to Timberlake.
As well, Viacom owned shows…Entertainment Tonight and The Insider…both defenders of Timberlake’s super Bowl appearance, should have been hot on his drug use admittions…Alas strangely…suspeciously…they haven’t been giving this story any coverage!!! Yet thay ripped the hell out of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown for similar behavior!!! This is true of all the white dominated press!!! Look at how Whitney Houston was treated by the media for admitting to using weed and crack. Yet, the media has barely even reported on Justin Timberlake’s drug use…or the before mentioned drug use by Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears!!!
Or what about Dione Warwick (spelling?) being caught with weed? She was dragged throught the dirt as if she was the perpetator of a mass genocide!!! But Justin Timberlake and friends are treated like their God’s gift from Nazi heaven!!! What the hell could this be other than racism at its worst, and most vile???!!! Now, I’ll tell you, both Janet and Timberlake have delivered some really horrible songs to their respective audiences…but the fact is…racism is still alive and well in the world…especially in America. And for those of you who don’t believe it, just look at the two tiers of justice given to a white boy vs. a black female!!! They’ll hang the nigger everytime!!! In closing, I urge you all to start a boycott campaign of MTV and its advertisers if you want change!!! Further…boycott Timberlake!!!
Yes…boycott him…Refuse to buy his CD unless Janet’s video is played on MTV…In addition,
call radio stations and request that they not play Timberlake’s music!!! And finally…Isn’t it time for someone to start a rival music video network that will not only play videos (since for the most part, MTV doesn’t play videos anymore) but will put MTV out of business!!! Trust me…if Janet is being undermined by MTV…Timberlake is co-signing it!!! It’s time to put this KKK under current
in its place!!!

Ok…I have two things to say that people are misunderstanding…
1. Like I said I am a hardcore Janet fan. I’m on her msg boards all the time and I support her vigorously! The issue was not brought up by Janet, it was brought up by us the fans. We have been complaining since Damita Jo about how they treat our girl. They have lists of the best videos, she’s NEVER on them anymore, they do NO news stories on her, they treat it as if she never existed! So WE as a fanbase started a petition, not her. I dont even think she knows about it, she’s in France!
2. LOOK @ HER ALBUM COVER…IT’S BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!! LOL!

@ Geisha, the mac and I are not the same and if you think I need to double blog to get a point across you got your head screwed on backwards. It obvious that you just don’t get it. You’re so fixated on being right about Janet that you can’t look beyond being what either of us was saying. All you’re about is being defensive.
For someone who claims to be so intelligent you sure are acting thick. No one was personally attacking you, and YOU chose to respond to the mac’s post, not the other way around. So what does that say about you needing a life? It wasn’t even a personal attack on you specifically.
Maybe instead of joining the Peace Corp you should have started The Janet Corps. Run for President too while you’re at it.
And PS, if you leave, I doubt you’ll be missed.

SInce when does anybody stick to the subject matter on hand at this site? Apparently not you either Brad since you’ve took a detour from talking about Janet to commenting on what I said to someone else. Try following your own advice. You’ll live longer.

I’m a Janet fan, too and I think it’s pretty sad that SB is still being discussed at this point.
^^^#137 I think ms. mac was referring to post #113.
Anyway, after all this time it’s time for the stations to get over it and play the music that people want to hear and let us see the videos that entertain us. That woman has worked hard for the last 20 years entertaining us and providing good videos and choreography in videos that MTV played and profited from and now suddenly she’s just so “out there” They need to get a life…

@121, your one of the few that seem to have some sense. Some people here verge on being retarded. @Omen, you certainly live up to your name, your just rabble-rousing.
Nobody had a comment when it was revealed that the MTV president IS A BLACK WOMAN!! The Jackson fans, as usual just glossed over that. Omen, what your talking about is apples and oranges. Most artist have drug problems, what is important is if you let it take you down, Whitney let it devastate her, Justine apparently moved on and still makes music, big difference. Playing the race-card is killing us as a race. The hispanics don’t use that excuse, and they are about to over-take us in voting and influence. Bottom line is, if Janets album is good, people will buy it, if it ain’t, they won’t.

@ GG Boo, it’s become abundantly clear to me that some people come on here, read ONLY the last few posts (or a selected few) and then go off if they see something they don’t like. You’re obviously not one of them. At least you try to see the big picture without going off the deep end.
A wise man once said that it’s better for a sensible person to avoid arguing with fools because in the end it’s harder to tell the difference between the two.
I give up on trying to be sensible here.

I love Janet and like I said-Janet Rocks.
Apple and oranges or oranges and apples has nothing to with Janet music. Some people try to turn self hate inward just to take the focus away from janet to place the blame on black folks and that is a coward like move. Ms_mac 1-Geisha left hours ago and your still talking about her, now that is a beyotch move.I do believe their is truth to some people statements but you will not start a political movenment by posting on an entertainment blog. How cares if MTV has a black CEO it did not make it ok, for MTV to blacklist Janet-period. Yall might win some but you just lost one.

I’m tired of the Beyonce posts as well. I like the interesting topics that concreteloop ‘RARELY’ have. But here’s one ANGELA.LA or whomever is in charge: The founder of ‘DONTDATEHIMGIRL.COM’ is being sued by a Pennsylvania attorney for defamation of character among other things. Both are black. The website was created for scorned women to the put their former lovers on blast. Now this should make a good post for alot of different comments should you choose to post it. You can find it on courttv.com
