JANET’S DISCIPLINE COVER
Wednesday, January 16, 2008

Here’s the latest from Miss Jackson, the leaking of the cover for her upcoming album, Discipline. If I might say so myself, the cover is quite striking and not at all what I expected. The look is very edgy, art-driven and European, which I am not surprised about, considering the international direction that she and director Saam took on the video for her Rodney Jerkins-produced first single, “Feedback.”
♫ Janet Jackson - Feedback
Fans are super excited about Janet’s return and the new information that’s been released about the album. Confirmed producers and writers are of course, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Tricky Steward & the Dream and Ne-Yo, as well as credits from Jermaine Durpi and Johnta Austin. Discipline will be available in stores and online February 26th.

Why is everything that’s not the usual get slapped with the European Sticker? It’s not even European, it’s just…blah. It’s different from the norm, yes, but not European.

I don’t know that it’s “blah,” but it definitely ISN’T European lol I don’t know…the style seems *gasp* Rihanna-esque and the air brushing (face) seems Beyonce-esque. Actually her face looks like an amalgam of Beyonce’s and her brother Michael’s faces. The body, though, is unmistakably Janet.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE
Wednesday, January 16, 2008 /
I’m just not feeling this. Her lips or right above them look a little distorted. I know the whole trendsetter garbage, yada, yada, yada, but I still think she needs to act her age a little more. What is she trying to prove? Personally I liked the 20 y o album cover better. She looked beautiful on that one. I think it’s that one, because I haven’t purchased a Janet album since Velvet Rope. If the 20 Y.O. album is the one with her laying on her back with her hair hanging down, then that’s the one where she looks best IMO.

I THINK JANET IS TRYING TO BE DRIFFERENT WITH BOTH THIS ALBUM AND THIS COVER. TO SHOW HER GROWTH SHE HAS TO RE-VEAL SIDES WE HAVEN’T SEEN OF HER BEFORE. JUST AS SHE DID WITH THE “VELVET ROPE”. I AM JUST GLAD TO SEE HER STAYING COVERED UP. WHENEVER A PROJECT OF HERS COMES OUT MAGAZINES AND COMPANIES ALWAYS TRY TO HAVE HER HALF-NAKED, AND THEY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THAT IS ALL SHE IS. SHE IS SO MUCH MORE. THEN AGAIN WE ALL ARE —IF GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SHOW IT.

I don’t care how old Janet is, can’t nobody in that game see her. The majority of the young chicks are wack as hell and spend the majority of their time trying to copy cat off of Janet, so there is nothing for her to compete against anyhow. She has broken so many records and sold so many albums at this point the only person she is competing against is herself. What Janet has done, they are trying to do, the young ones can only hope to have a career like Janets, 25+ years in the game. Most of them won’t even be around a few years from now let alone 25 years from now. Give me a damn break. I wish the best for her, she’s an Icon and has nothing to prove to anyone, the single is hot, the Album cover is cool and different…she’s just continues to evolve. Respect.
And Kyandi #33 you’re cute…but not cute enough to be calling Janet “ugly”, i’m sorry. lmao

YEAH YOURE CUTE NOW BUT LETS SEE HOW YOU LOOK AT 40
I THINK BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO UNIFORMLY SHUT DOWN ANYBODY BLACK OR WHITE REFERRING TO ANOTHER BLACK PERSON AS A MONKEY, ORANGUTAN, CHIMP, OR APE
WE CANT ALLOW THAT TYPE OF SHIT IN ‘08
TAKE YOUR ASS TO KKK.COM IF YOU WANNA SPEW RACIST SENTIMENTS TOWARDS ANOTHER AFRICAN AMERICAN

i like the cover, it’s great
except of the hair
the hair really is ugly!!!
and her face is way too unnatural
but i like the concept
and no, it’s not european…i’m from europe
this is just a classic, not that innovative

oh @ 44 , i dont think that kyandi’s comment was a racist comment…
but janets face expression on that cover looks a little like a monkey
and if you saw the movie…their faces looked like janets here, the eyes, the nose, etc

CALLING AN AFRICAN AMERICAN A MONKEY IS A RACIST STATEMENT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE WERE CALLED BY THOSE WHO ENSLAVED US BASED UPON OUR RACE
THEY USED THE WORD TO FARTHER DEHUMANIZE AFRICAN AMERICANS DURING SLAVERY
SO IT IS A RACIAL SLUR AND IT IS NOT OKAY TO USE RACIAL SLURS- EVEN FOR BLACK PEOPLE
IF YOU MUST INSULT ANOTHER BLACK PERSON, USE A DIFFERENT WORD BECAUSE THAT WORD IS HISTORICALLY A RACIAL SLUR AND THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT WAS USED IN THAT WAY
SO JUST LET IT GO AND STOP INSULTING YOUR OWN PEOPLE IN THE SAME MANNER THAT THEIR FORMER SLAVE MASTERS DID
IF YOU CANT DO THAT OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AND THE BLACK PEOPLE LIVING TODAY, DO IT FOR YOUR ANCESTORS WHO WERE CALLED MONKEYS CONSTANTLY DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY WHITE MEN WITH WHIPS

It looks Rihannaesque because it is a very literal interpretation of “discipline”…an interpretation which Rihanna has force-fed us since last summer. It’s also very reminiscent of that one scene in the Dixie Chicks’ “Not Ready to Make Nice” video.

oh my god, you can overact
most black people call everyone nigga, and no one says a thing
and if someone says she looks like a monkey isnt racism….if she looks like a monkey
or is it better to say she looks beautiful if she looks like a monkey when she looks like a monkey
i say to white people that they are looking like a monkey if they have the face like one, that isn’t racism
but you cant say the truth to others than white people….thats always racism-
i hate double standards
i think it is more a problem that people here are making jokes if brian is gay or not…
damn, who cares? its his life and if hes gay then hes gay, its not your issue
and making jokes about that is more intolerant than saying someone looks like a monkey

A very different cover for Janet, I kinda like it!
But she really looks like Nicole Scheningingeringzer there a bit….I dunno why!
Why has Rihanna got to do with this shit?? Seriously Rihanna is not even the original one here so yall stop pretending she created this hard discipline, bad girl act…pur-lease!

Why all of a sudden you are defensive about what’s said about Brian as oppose to an offensive racist remark directed at Janet from Kanye the chipmunk? Brian writes reviews about music, but comments on Janet’s choice of hair. He feels free to have an opinion of Janet’s choice of style so why not the bloggers feel free to comment on his choice of words. So you are saying that being called a monkey is less offensive then being called gay?

Feedback is not the HIT so far that they wanted. Why not just make a dance video?? why jump from planets and into milk…in the video…just give the public what they want……….the dark, edgy videos are OUT, fun, energetic videos are in. The sexy image is what helped the last 2 cd’s flop…which were NOT bad cds. ENJOY is still a Great song. I think Janet may have lost touch….this CD will be hot for 2 weeks, and then people will move on,,,,,,just like they did last time.
