JANET’S DISCIPLINE COVER

Wednesday, January 16, 2008

Janet’s Discipline Album Cover

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.

You people seem to forget that the Rihannas and Beyonces took their cues from Janet! Janet is a true icon in the game and has true staying power! Y’all youngn’s on this damn website need to get a clue! Janet does not need to look or act like Bey or Ri’s wack asses for inspiration! They all got it from her! Neither one of them has half the real sex appeal that Janet has!

If you don’t understand what’s going on…

Listen to the lyrics and look at the video of Feedback. It’s a clear diss to the young bitches out there who used “hot tracks” only to produce videos with loud backgrounds and quick flash editing. Janet used the same hot beats as Britney and turned it out .janet style and used lots of special effects like Rihanna’s Umbrella, only to turn down the loudness, slow down the dancing to precision and kept the camera’s direction on her instead of sparks and silver body paint. We thought she was going to be half naked as always, but she shows up covered from head to toe with a Black catsuit. What the fuck do you think Janet was trying to say in the abstract video? Clearly she is showing you this as a demonstration” on how it’s supposed to be down as an entertainer who performs for the love of music and performing and not marketing and trying to sell you fucking lipgloss and Venus shaving razors. The video was about control and longevity that artist today DO NOT have.

If you haven’t noticed the pop music industry is dead with talent, and all “artists” can do is saturate their videos with accessories, cars, diamonds, hot clothes and shit we wanna buy. And it seems like if the video don’t serve as a home shopping catalog we don’t wanna watch. You don’t see the problem in that? The music industry is nothing but enforcing and encouraging consumerism, your financial slavery. I commend Janet for sticking to her roots of phat beats, provocative lyrics, slick videos and sharp dance moves without shouting out some damn liquor brand. What being an entertainer is about.

Her latest two albums flopped because we turned our backs on her because of that damn Super Bowl thing. America scapegoated her, made example out of her and fucking put a Black female in her place as a stereotypical fat ass slut whore jezebel. To me Janet was a genius for doing what she did. Don’t you think it’s weird that a White man pulled the clothes off a Black woman in front of a Billion people? Hell yeah. I’m not sure if she did it on purpose, but the way it went down was divinely scripted. To me, Janet was slapping the extremely sexually repressive patriarchal system in the face. She pulled the old white men out from behind the curtain for you to see, but instead of you exposing them, you went along with them and called her a whore and forgot she was the woman who bought you All 4 U, Velvet Rope, .janet, Rhythm Nation 1814 and Control. Please.

If the Super Bowl thing was so mothafucking bad it wouldn’t have been replayed a billion times over the course of 2 months, especially when America had other shit to be worried about (like getting out of Iraq). If it was so bad, youtube wouldn’t have the censor-less version of the video on the site. Right? Not only the system put Janet in her place, but you in yours, and we fall deeper and deeper into mind control and slavery. Them keeping us in chastity.

Wake the fuck up people!

Women rise the fuck up, own your bodies, own your sexuality, stop allowing these men to tell you who you are, how you should look, what you should be, how to raise your children, what to eat, how to control your births and how to you live your lives. Aiight? Slavery of people starts with slavery of the woman and the best way to do that is with her self esteem, her body and her sexuality. Why do you think so many societies treat women as second class, or even livestock? Huhn? To control the rest of the fucking population.

Ladies the freedom of humanity lies in your pussy and your tits. Sexual liberation is something that Janet has always been about, always expressed and think it’s about time you listen. It’s isn’t about being promiscuous, its about owning yourself and not allowing other folks to tell you what to be. This means if you want to be celibate, or asexual or gay without apologies and without announcing to the world who you are (coming out), just be. Sexual liberation means mental and spiritual liberation. Remember that.

…It’s very apparent how they want to control you with rise of celebrity and blogs. Folks come here basically to see what’s the “standard” of living, who they should compare themselves with (celebrities) and what they should inspire to be. Your minds are distracted from the realness of reality that you are individual-less sheep-like slave, but the thing is they tell you all the time. But you don’t listen. WAKE UP!!!!

Aiight I’m done.

Don’t like it. Yes Janet is a legend and a living icon. You see how she has inspired all of there young females out here in the industry. But why can’t she see that and move onto something better than what she is serving us all right now? Instead of still being a force in the industry and blazing new trails it’s like she’s trying too hard to compete with the very people she’s inspired. I don’t like to throw up age and tell people they need to retire and move on but Janet needs to look back at the body of work she’s done and see that this direction she’s been taking the last few years is a step back. I’m not feeling the cover because all it is to me is her putting on a face and showing off her once again tight tummy. People have mentioned Velvet Rope look at that cover in comparison to this one. I am an old school Janet fan, I still have pics of me getting my “Pleasure Principle” on with my denim jacket. I love her but I am not feeling the direction she is taking. When I hear a new Janet song or see new promo pics of her I don’t want the names Britney, Ciara, Rihanna or anyone else to pop into my head. I only want to think JANET! I hope Janet comes thru this time, I really do because as I said I am a fan but the song, video and album really aren’t doing it for me at this point.

Wednesday, January 16, 2008 /

I would first like to say that I agree with H-Town Chick and with #43. There will always be haters out here saying negative things about whoever whenever no matter what. It really don’t make any sense. It’s “08″ and we need to be thinking more positive. How about Janet was thinking of doing something different this time around. Something out of the ordinary. Did anyone think about that? I think Janet is great. The cover looks very different than what I’m use to seeing her do but that’s ok she still looks great as she is in her 40’s. These young girls now a days hope that they have the body and enegry that she has when they get 42. All I have to say is Janet you keep your head high and do the damn thing cause you are the answer and no matter what any of us say about you; you still will be making your money and you will not loose any sleep over any of these NEGATIVE comments. I’m damn sure of that!!! Haters grow up . As for Kyandi your cute but not that damn cute to down talk someone else. Grow up and take a closer look at yoirself. Go Janet!!!! your my girl and you always will be!!!!

Wednesday, January 16, 2008 /

I like the cover, I’m glad that she’s not just giving me chest and abs all over again, we all know she has the best stomach in the biz. Janet is not an ugly woman by any means. Kyandi your a pretty girl from what we can tell thru the blurry pic but your by no means shutting it down,if you and J were in hte same room I don’t doubt who could get more play. COSIGNING 111 It’s an album cover I don’t know to many people who go into the store and go look what a great album cover let me buy the record even though I don’t listen to this lol. @92 your last paragraph was on point, bloggers blog, comment, and check out these sites to find out what the standard is because they don’t have that compass within themselves, it’s all about keeping up with the Jones. The monkey thing is not cool, we jump on Imus for his remarks but then think it’s cool when we do it, how hypocritical is that. Go read a book and reassess your life

IF this is the cover, it is different. It will probably grow on me like Feedback did. The song is hot. The chick Kyandi who said Janet was ugly must be a silly young trick or a hater. Put down the crack pipe! I went to the Myspace page, you got a flatty not a phatty. Your body is like Paris Hilton. The face is ok but she’s from Alabama so she might be in-bred. (Not a diss to everyone in AL)

Why do people always bring up Rihanna and Beyonce? They are both nice but neither one of them will be around at 41. All you people who luv them (especially the gay dudes) don’t get upset. People just don’t last that long anymore. Thats all I’m saying. I think they both have peaked.

I’m just looking for some good music in 2008. I don’t care if it’s Beyonce, Rihanna or Janet. It would be nice if it was all of them.

Wednesday, January 16, 2008 /

I’m feeling all the hype about this album this time around. If you can say anything aboutt his woman it’s that she’s mega-successful and she looks really great for her age, although I wish Janet would put a lil umph in her voice sometimes I gottta say I have nothing but love for her. I also agree with whoever made the Josephine Baker comment, her face and hair is giving me that. It’s probably not her greatest but I’m not one of those poeple who are like, ” I like the song and Janet, but I’m not feeling the album cover so I’m not going to buy it”. That’s a material ass person for you that thinks like that. @GEM and Jscene you two “blogging ’til my fingers fall off” ain’t at it today? LoL Much love CL and Janet

I’m digging the coffee-table-book/arthouse vibe of this album cover. Most of the aspiring pop/R&B princesses are too busy trying to just look “pretty” on their album covers to take an artistic risk like this. I like that Janet took it there. She’s showed us that EDGY can be BEAUTIFUL, too. This pic is so stylized that it would fit just as easily in an art gallery or a high fashion mag, as it does on the album cover. And the look goes perfectly with the name and concept of the album. If that album cover doesn’t say “Discipline,” I dunno what does! Get ‘em, Janet!

coffee-table book? arthouse vibe? high fashion? Are you serious? This look is such uncreative, insipid, literal BS… Sorry, Janet fans but it is. The naval ring is so prepubescent..and even if the rest of this look could somehow rise to the level of “art” it would definitely drag it back to the base vile vile annals of “pop culture.”
The gloves, the leather, the straps…the dominatrix look is the first image you’d conjure when thinking discipline. It is a horribly mediocre blend of sex and domination. To call this artistic and avant-garde is to blow things completely out of proportion. It’s sexy, basely sexy and that’s enough…isn’t it? Why does it have to be more? It’s not.

Sorry but she looks like a Tranny who had like 30 surgeries. And this is coming from someone who loves Janet. I love the cover idea but the way they photo shopped her face is a big no no.

Oh geez, here comes GEM trying to smack people down when they step outta the box in THEIR description of what THEY see. We’re glad you have an opinion GEM but it becomes a problem when you don’t allow others to express their own without giving a low budget response to what THEY think. Just state your opinion and leave it at that. …..and yes and I am replying to you because JSCENE seems to be MIA, somebody has to check you. So return to the library and up the volume on your vocabulary because knowing you you’ll respond with some more ridiculous hyperbole just to prove that you learned how to write in school.

Seriously Gem, find something better to do. The way you disect, analyze and then attack everything Janet related is sad and borders on obsessive. Clearly you’re digusted by her yet she still manages to intrigue you. This is a problem. Surely we can find you a support group.
