JANET JACKSON’S “FEEDBACK” ADDED TO MTV
Sunday, January 13, 2008
You may remember never seeing any of Janet’s videos on MTV during the promotion of her last album, 20 Y.O., but apparently, MTV has added the video for her new single, “Feedback” to it’s video playlist.
The video for “Feedback,” premiered last week on BET’s 106 & Park and Yahoo! Music, and will debut on TRL on Monday, according to TRL’s schedule. Interestingly enough, Janet’s second single, “So Excited” was added to the list of videos for play on MTV, but only saw air time on MTV2 and MTVJams.
Back in 2004, Janet and Justin Timberlake teamed with the NFL, CBS, and MTV for the halftime performance of the Super Bowl XXXVIII. During the performance, there was a wardrobe malfunction and Janet was brutally ridiculed for the display. Coincidentally, this was just days before Janet’s lead single from 2004’s Damita Jo, “Just A Little While” was rushed and leaked. The whole thing was a big mess and from then on, Janet’s relationship with MTV has never been the same.
Hopefully, with the debut of “Feedback” on TRL and the release of the new album, Discipline, due out February 26th, Janet and MTV can rebuild their burned bridge.

janet is not a flop its just that she needs to change her style of music a little bit, she is still beautiful and personally i never stopped loving her music. yet music is changing…mtv can kick rocks they dont ever play music videos anymore. they are the most boring entertainment station right now..and has been for many years. SHE DOESNT NEED THEM!! I do think this time around might be different. I really like her new song…

MTV smells a hit and you know with the VMAs having horrible ratings since 2000 they want to invite her to the show to perform and give it a boost. No matter what people think of Janet’s vocal ability they will still watch the girl move! LOL Does MTV even show videos anymore? lol

Janet has an amazing ability to transform…..While her performance in ‘Why did I get Married?’ was superb, for much of the movie, she kinda looked a lil to’e up. Or was it just me? However, here on this cover, and many other covers we’ve seen…she got it going on! I know about photoshop and all that, but she’s looking GOOD on here!

Music Televison? Thats a big joke, when they play music only 10% of the time! lol Anyhow, dont know if being with MTV is going to make much a difference with this Janet album, i guess we just have to wait and see. Im not a huge janet fan, I like her old music much more than the new stuff, but she does have a couple of new songs (meaning like 90’s early 2000’s) lol But most of the time shes just whispering and i cant understand anything

The MTV ratings are slumping, so NOW they want Janet back lmao. Expect the ratings, especially for the VMAs which has been a mess for the last decade, to go way up. Whatever people try to say or front, the name “Janet Jackson” and “performance” or “video” or “song” [sic] sparks interest b/c she is an icon, like it or not.
Rain_Smith,
she looked toh’ up cause of that damn vein LMAO. Nah for real though, cause if you’ve seen the Nutty Professor and Poetic Justice, shes not wearing that much make up and she looked naturally beautiful in them, especially in Poetic Justice. Only Janet can make dookie braids look beautiful.

You’re a fool. Did you even read the BILLBOARD article, or follow how mediabase works? The single is doing VERY well, especially considering it just came out a few days ago. Its already in the top 40 (and top 25 in itunes) I wouldn’t be surprised if it reaches at least the top 10.

Some of you idiots on here talking about she going to flop and all this just need to go take you negative minds somewhere else. I said ever since Damita Jo, BET will not help you sell records. I hate to admit it because I think MTV was and still is wrong what they did to her, but she needs that MTV exposure again. She was their first ICON if yal remember that. She was like the most heavily promoted female artist on MTV. So, I am glad they are giving her the respect she deserves. I always thought it was wrong to ban her and play Justin. If they were going so call “punish” (which is stupid) her they should have banned him also. So time will tell how all this will go. But to all the haters, Janet is truly back now, get use to it or just shut up!

i find it interesting that on all the blogs talking about janet’s new video, there’s only like 2 or 3 comments hatin’ on her, while the rest love it. that should tell you something haters! it should tell you that you’re irrelevant!! The Queen of Pop is taking no prisoners this time around! and you’re all right about MTV. their ratings have sunk over the past few years, (if you notice, in reality their ratings slipped once they stopped playing janet!) and yeah they’re jumping on the bandwagon, but it’s a great thing that janet is back on their tired channel. who knows, this just might make them start showing videos again!!!

Who are MTV to be banning people anyway? I support Janet b/c she’s not like alot of music artists and celebrities who are in the business for the wrong reasons. I wish her the best and I hardly even watch MTV anymore b/c they always playing reality shows and repeats of ANTM. Like somebody said already, Janet stays with music and doesnt stray into other ventures except acting. So what is she showed a damn nipple..half the celebs out there showed more than that and still get airplay (ie Britney Spears).

JANET IS BACK BITCHES SO SHUT UP AND DEAL WITH IT, PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT BEYONCE AND BRITNEY BOOSTED THE RATINGS, NOT SO, THEY WENT DOWN, DOWN HILL NOW MTV NEEDS JANET FOR THEIR RATINGS!!! JANET HAS A SONG ON HER NEW ALBUM FEATURING MICHAEL JACKSON I CAN NOT WAIT TO HEAR AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE GONNA DO. I THINK THIS TIME JANET IS GOING TO SUCCEED!!

I agree with # 33. I didn’t realize that MTV never aired her video in question after the Superbowl incident either. I also agree that delirious, deranged, and demented Britney Spears still got airtime after flashing her bald pussycat on several occasions also. She was also the opening act on the MTV Video Music Awards as we all know.
I was a HUGE Janet fan in the 80’s, 90’s, and early 00’s. But frankly I think that Janet is too old for the type of genre music that she sings today. She is also too old for the overly choreographed cheerleading style dance moves that she still tries to do. I mean how much popping and locking and ticking and flicking is she gonna do…is she still gonna be doing this at 50…cuz she will soon be pushing 50!
Also she IS a bonafide SUPERSTAR…but let’s be honest…Janet cannot sing. Her voice is so weak, that on several of her songs, I haven’t a clue what she is saying. When Janet was in her teens and early 20’s singing Let’s Wait a While, Control, The Song with Blackstreet, Pleasure Principle, Twenty Foreplay, The Song with Busta Rhymes etc…SHE WAS THA BOMB!!!
I really think Janet has lost her creativity. So true MTV is probably being biased by not airing her videos, but until she puts out some quality content and belts out a huge ballad, I am no longer interested myself. I think she should stick to acting, because she is very good at that.

#41 Cutie I agreed with everything you said starting from the line “I was a huge fan” Thats exactly how i feel about Janet..I loved her earlier stuff but now you barely hear what janet is sayin on her music! But I still give props where props are due. Because we all know JANET IS the Originator of ALL these fake wanna be’s when it comes to moving on the stage. But TRUE she is absolutely an ICON and LEGEND, but I think thats where she needs to end it, and just focus on the acting, cuz I dont think the music part is that strong anymore

I just want to know one thing….When did Janet ever claim to be a fu*&ing vocalist?? You all can try all you want to come up with something to call Janet out on, just accept the fact that the bitch is the illest in the game of entertainment. If she wasn’t then the numerous established and up and coming female artists would not be on her tittie sac trying to emulate shit she did 15-20 years ago. Keep hating while she is clocking dividends and selling records, obviously somebody likes what she is doing.

MTV is on some bullshit, they smell a hit and wanna bepart of that shit. That is so wack and does MTV even play videos anymore? Here we go with the old she’s too old for her genre thing and Janet’s not a vocalist blah blah blah. You’ve kown from the jump that she’s not a vocalist she’s never claimed it she’s an entertainer, a stage show in and of itself. Irregardless of not being a “vocalist” she’s still sold over 100 million albums and if age had had anything to do with it Madonna wouldn’t be getting 120 million for a new contract, she does dance music and she’s had less billboard “1 hits and albums than anyone of that level

BTW MTV is so yesterday. They been fell off. Do they even show videos anymore? Janet does not need MTV. MTV needs Janet. They used Britney for ratings when they knew she was not ready. MTV is so pathetic that they tried to give Britney some confidence by asking every celeb “r u anticipating Britney’s comeback?”
The Janet Jackson Imposter failed miserably. Even with Beyonce and Justin showing up, MTV’s ratings have not been up to par. They suck.

Janet was an innovator back in the day, but IMO, this new song is weak,and the video is wack. I really don’t see the need to say if Madonna is doing it then Janet can too. Madonna ALWAYS sells out her concerts and she is still a multiplatinum selling artist. I have no idea why, but she is. Janet is no where near Madonna in sales of CD’s or concerts, and trying to compare the two is like comparing apples and oranges. Yes Ciara and the other newer “artists” copy her dance moves and such, but why does she need to keep trying to validate that she was the trendsetter for them. Especially when she’s old enough to be some of them girls mother. I admit she does look good, but c’mon now. If and when this album flops, I hope she finally gets it, and puts all her energy into the acting thing.

Janet is one of the most successful artist (top 10) because she is consistent minus 20 yo which was a huge bump in the road she’s given you hit after hit. 5 consecutive multiplatinum back to back number one studio albums the record hasn’t been broken yet by another female.

GO JANET U MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU GOT BEYONCE, BRITNEY, CIARA FANS HATING!!! THESE ARTIST WISH THAT THEY COULD BE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS JANET.

I agree Janet is a ICON and LEGEND. But I disagree that every female singer who debuted or came after her was inspired by her or wanted to be her. I could name a number of female artist…….Jill, Lauryn, Alicia….etc. The list goes on. Hell even Beyonce, she was more inspired by Diana Ross and Tina Turner. I mean you can see it in her stage performance.
I’ll give you Ciara, cause she is a copy of Janet through and through.
But to say EVERY female singer after her copied her style and wanted to be JUST LIKE her is a little ridiculous. As if Janet was the first female singer in the world. Many legends came before her, lets not forget. Just cause someone dances well and sings doesnt make them a Janet copy. Hell James Brown and Michael Jackson were doing that before Janet came along. Whats to say they werent inspired by them.

madonna being the most successful artist in history is debatable, because her record sales are only estimated; her totals haven’t been validated. her success is due to the fact that
1-she slept her way to the top
2-she used her body to sell her records and disguise her less-than-mediocre talent.
janet didn’t need to do none of that. her success was based on her talent. if you want proof, look at britney, beyonce, ciara, rihanna, etc. these girls emuate janet in their own careers; nobody emulates madonna, she’s a rip off artist her damn self.

Excuse me I gave Janet mad props. Did you read my comment. I called her a ICON and LEGEND. Those arent two words I just throw around for just anybody.
I was just saying one similar routine of Janet’s that Bey used doesnt mean she wants to be Janet. Inspired by yes, but not be.
As opposed to Ciara who uses parts of Janet in ALL her performances and songs. Ciara is the only copy I see.
Even Rihanna changes it up so she doesnt look like a cheap copy of Janet.
I was just pointing out the difference. The Britney’s and Ciara’s are copies. The Christina’s and Beyonce’s are not. Not to point out vocals but when your more vocally talented you dont have to depend on just dance, thats all I was saying. EVERYONE isnt inspired by her but there are alot that are.

To ICON & KB: get lost in Janet shutting the music game down! This is soooo transparent what MTV is pulling, its just… well, ridiculous. Yall better believe Janet is saying to them fuck you!! MTV could smell a hit coming, they are suffering and need someone like Janet to save them for the recent ratings slump they find themselves in year after year. It’s proven the so called “young superstars” are not as lucrative for MTV as legitimate superstars…and of course Janet is in that list. I just hope and pray that Janet tell MTV to go kick rocks, because she doesn’t need them at all.

To #56,
First of all, the Feedback video is very Metaphoric. I guess people with narrow minds (like you) will never get it. Just because Janet is not naked, (in the club, surrounded by pimps, bling blingin, driving a car with rims, with men grabbing their
d–ks, saying bitch and hoe, and smoking weed,) you feel this is not a good video. LMAO
Also, people like you think because an artist is old they are “washed up”.
I find it really insulting that you would even mention madonna, when Patti, Aretha, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Toni Braxton, etc. are black women who have more talent and stage presence than madonna will ever have.
Let you tell it, once an artist is past 30, then they should retire; EDUCATION IS KNOWLEDGE, try it !!!!!

Thats just goes to show that if blacks were more supportive of one another instead of being so overcritical and judgmental we could help our artist become bigger successes. Who gives a shit if her relationship w/ MTV was severed if they wanted to have beef w/ one of the biggest entertainers in the world then thats their problem. Janet should’ve been just a success by having her videos released only on BET. But no, we had to let the whole project down. This is why artist dont cater to blacks anymore and work on being more mainstream.
Additionally, I want to know how accurate this story is because Viacom owns BET and MTV so why a strain w/ one station and not the other?! Blacks dont run things at BET either!

Seems like I started a whole lot of Madonna talk. I am a huge Madonna fan just as Janet, but to the person saying Madonna hasn’t so called “Flopped” you are sadly mistaken. She had albums flop with MTV exposure. “American Life” was a true flop and I remember MTV did a special on her that whole day it came out. And Hung Up was the only true hit from the Confessions on a Dance Floor album. All of the true artist seem to have their slumps (madonna, Janet, and Mariah(She also had 2 flops in a row)), but they are true artist and will get back to the top. Janet is on her way back up to the top where she belongs.

SHE IS THAT HUMBLE. EVERYBODY KNOWS JANET CAN SING SHE ONLY PUT OUT SONGS LIKE CALL ON ME N SO EXCITED AND NOW EVERYBODY WANNA DOWN PLAY HER. SHE WAS NEVER A PATTIE,WHITNEY,MARIAH, OR BEYONCE IN SINGING. BUT SHE ALWAYS HELD HER OWN.
MOST OF THESE CHICKS AINT EVEN COPYING WHITNEY,MARIAH, PATTIE. N A LIL IS COPYN BEYONCE. BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS JANET IS MOMMA TO THE YOUNGINS. AND JANET IS ONLY 41 AND DOES LOOK YOUNGER THAN HER AGE CUZ THE BILLBOARD PIC IS NOT THAT HEAVY PHOTO CHOPPED. SHE LOOKS HOW SHE DID BACK IN 1997-1999 DURING VELVET ROPE.,
AND JANET IS DEF THE FIRST MTV ICON SHE HAD THE FIRST SHOW SHE WAS THEIR FIRST NOT MJ N NOT MADONNA. LOOK UP UR FACTS. JANET DOESNT HAVE TO PROVE A DAMN THING. CUZ SHE IS A LEGEND N A ICON.

I like the billboard magazine pic! MTV is kina shitty for trying to bandwagon now. Although Viacom owns all three major music stations MTV gets the biggest chunk of 12-17 year old viewers. It’s all good though J is gonna do her thing this year and dance all the way to the bank. lol I cannot wait for the tour because if anyone can put on a show it is her. Why is Madonna even being talked about? Does CL ever post anything about her? Cosigning with #80 black people don’t always support their talent no matter what that’s why entertainers that aren’t a part of the “white mainstream” audience are still doing it. Case in point look at Cher, hasn’t she been on a worldwide farewell tour for the last 10 years? lol SUPPORT YOUR ROOTS WHEN THEY DO IT RIGHT!!

Yeah Charmbraclet and Glitter were back to back flops. Yes Glitter was a soundtrack but it was also her album cause it was all Mariah. The sad part was the album was good in my view, just that the movie was so bad people never gave the album a chance, but charmbracelet was not good at all, but I loved Glitter. Just the same with Damita Jo, I don’t care what anyone says that was a good album, but again with all the superbowl crap, it wasn’t giving a chance.

This interview is good!! I’m glad she’s talking about the album and what was going on over at Virgin. I still believe that Janet knew she wasn’t going to renew her contract and that after Damita Jo was handled badly she thought to herself let me keep my best shit, end the contract, find a new home, and give my fans what they want. She’s a business woman, she made her first million at like 7 years old, glad she stays away from all the endorsement deals, I feel it cheapens your brand if you do too much even though the money is good. Movies are a way better endorsement deal for her because she gives a solid performance maybe not oscar worthy but your not thinking why her lol. Big ups Janet and Concreteloop love all the positive media!!

The same Beyonce who, after the Super Bowl incident, canned a duet she’d done with Janet, only to phone her later and ask to sample the track on the final Destiny’s Child album. Is it? Is it the same Beyonce? I don’t think so because she was on the other end of the call when Janet HUNG UP IN HER FACE so I’m sure she knows Janet’s not that into her.
The truth is…if she sampled the routine she did so because she wanted to use it, she thought it would look hot in her show…
And, I’m going to hate myself for butting in…I just know it. As for Janet’s song, it’s not that good, really…and the video isn’t either…so it doesn’t matter where they play it or when or to what degree…it won’t be a monster hit.

Ok, I love Janet to pieces and think she is one of the most inspirational female artists to ever live BUT there’s no need to undermine the success of every other female artist just to build her up. Madonna is a phenomenal performer, songwriter and businesswoman. That is why she is so revered and celebrated-not because she slept with certain people. If it was that easy, Paris Hilton’s shelf would be stacked wit Grammys!
I am happy MTV is going to show Janet’s video, because it so creative and hot. I agree they should have never given her so much flack for that Superbowl incident. However, I do have to defend them on the “Britney” tip. The superbowl halftime show was produced by MTV, so Janet’s booby debacle made them look bad. Britney’s cooch-flashing had nothing to do with MTV. Besides she was not on live TV, she was just getting out of a car. That’s MTV’s reasoning behind disowning Janet, while still allowing Brit to perform. And Brit did earn them a 23 percent hike in ratings, so their line of logic proved itself in dividends. Now, i do think Janet’s incident was accidental and Britney’s was alot more careless, but that facts have to be recognized.
Until they die, Madonna and Janet are both the Queens of Pop. Only true pioneers can claim such a title. I have to say I am really surprised at some of the disrepectful comments about J on here. I thought everybody loved her. Obviously she still got it because people are downright threatened by her return!

MTV has fallen over the years but it would be nice to see her video on the network. We all know that Janet can’t song but she can dance her ass off. Oh well lets see how this goes if doesn’t then oh well, just like some of the commentors said I miss the old Janet when she was singing not that whispering shit she does now. But her new feedback is starting grow on me and I like it. Maybe her brother Micheal can do the same thing too.

To be honest, everyone should just appreciate that the Black community has a pop icon that has still maintained to be around for 20+ years. I think that this issue has something to do with determining who sets the norm. In America, White culture sets the norm for everything. If Britney Spears or Madonna flashed the world with their breasts, then no one says anything. Regardless if Janet’s incident was intentional or not, she appears to be sluttish or nasty because she stepped out of the conventional roles for a Black woman (being second-tier, that is).
No one had a problem with Janet before the superbowl, and now it seems like her music is so different eventhough she has sounded the same for YEARS!!! I think that the the Black audience needs to stop being so judgemental of music and just learn to let go and have fun. Music is sooooooooooo political in the Black community. If you listen to pop, you’re gay, or if you listen to rap, you’re uneducated. People should learn to be themselves and appreciate music for music’s sake–entertainment!

cosigning 101 and at GEM has that story ever been verified? Where is the hardcore proof, can I see some phone records? LOL The ring the alarm performance isn’t all that great the breakdown where she used Janet’s routine was lackluster at best. That doesn’t go to show that Bey did it because she thought it was hot, it just goes to show that her and her creative director aren’t that creative. Even if people (you) don’t think it’s a nice track so what the billboard charts and mediabase as well as itunes seem to be proving you wrong. The general public is into it and at the end of the day that’s what matters. None of our comments are going to prove that everyone else’s logic, or lack thereof, is wrong. Why can’t we just enjoy an artist that moves forward while keeping true to themselves? It’s because those of us who don’t appreciate that can’t do it themselves, move forward that is. It’s all about progression.

Janet was “punished” because she DID NOT HAVE A CURRENT HIT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, so her stunt seemed even MORE desperate. Justin, on the other hand, came off as someone who made a HORRIBLE choice. Sure, they did the SAME THING but Janet is more culpable because as I said, it was a desperate act by someone who may have had more reason to be desperate at the time AND her age…man…she was old enough to know better.

@109 GEM,
I am going to respectfully disagree with you here. Janet was “punished” because America and its legacy of slavery cannot deal with the idea of a black woman’s sexuality in any way other than “hooker/Jezebel” . It is a very old story that goes back as far as slavery. For America, a black woman’s sexuality has to be either 1. owned and controlled by the ‘master’” or 2. suppressed as something dirty.
Thus every mainstream “white” movie can show the majority of corner-hookers as black women, but the same white media will demonize the very idea of a black woman being in charge of her own sexuality. So if you are not willing to be their “nappy-headed ho” then you are only permitted to be mammy (ummm.check The View and every other white movie/show) or Sapphire (sassy, flippant mouthed black woman who constantly berates black men). In the stereotype ridden mind of white America, there is no room for a black woman who is all-woman, who has full ownership of her sexuality, and makes her own decisions about what to do with that sexuality. We are expected to either be “a Ho” or a mammy with no sexuality at all. (I’m not even going to list the black female celebrities who fall into these categories.
The message that everyone missed is that one black nipple shut down all of America…that’s powerful but for all the wrong reasons. Brittany and Madonna can tongue-kiss on national TV and its just fine.
Whether or not any of us agree on whether it was an accidental “wardrobe malfunction”, we should all be offended at the double standard. It reeks of a legacy of ownership or black woman bodies. Those days should be long gone.

There was nothing meaningful in Janet’s revealing her nipple…it was basely sexual…a Budweiser or GoDaddy commercial… It was tasteless and grasping and if any wavering pop star had done the same thing, she would have been just as scrutinized. Janet deserved what she got.

And if y’all honestly think that Janet exposed herself on purpose y’all are tripping. Her last 3 albums before the Superbowl all went triple platinum. There was a nice buzz created by those who had heard some tracks off the new album.
When you add up all the data and The history of Janet’s career and her actions before 2004 it just doesn’t add up, that ’s how i know that the reveal went wrong.

Really a wavering popstar? Are you serious All For You was the album she dropped before the bowl and it sold what around 7 million albums. I didn’t know 7 million was wavering of any sorts. 116 is right she performed a song from the 80’s and one from 2001 and the crowd was wild. She didn’t premiere any new shit from Damita Jo at the bowl, that just goes to show your a bad mu#$%& when people are wanting you to headline an event without any new material. An even that probably a billion people saw. And the boob flsh is so quick unless you had tivo you didn’t realize what happened until it broke on the news. Also she did apologize publicly on television there was a broadcast released a few hours after to all major stations. Just because she didn’t apologize again to appease some fools at the Grammy’s they ban her from that year’s festivities, how wack. On top of that the grammys are run by artists and record execs, they get to vote. Either way my girl giggles all the way to the bank with everything she does why the haters sit here and pick apart every detail
