VIDEO: JANET JACKSON - “FEEDBACK”
Tuesday, January 8, 2008
Today, Janet premieres her video for her comeback single, “Feedback,” produced by Rodney Jerkins. I definitely am feeling the futuristic vibe of the video, and I’m so glad to see Janet doing what I love to see her do - dance. I really like the cohesiveness of the video, and I like that she’s coming back with a concept. I like the look and feel, and the detail of the planets, etc. The choregraphy is tight, and it almost looks animated to me. I think this is dope.
The video feels very international - I love the fact that she used a new director who has never done a video in the United States before. I think ‘08 is all about take risks, and Janet did it.
The new album, Discipline is to hit stores February 26th, via Def Jam. I am excited for Janet. I’m sure Janet fans are raving. The video will premiere today on BET’s 106 & Park and also on Yahoo! this evening.

MC’s album was supposed to have already been out boo. Her shit was due in fall of 07. Clearly she wasn’t ready to put it out, so it ain’t got shit to do with Janet.

This is off topic, but I can’t find anything about it here.
Angelina Jolie was nominated by the NAACP Image Awards for Best Actress. First of all, she is NOT a black woman, and did not LOOK like a black woman in that movie.
It’s a slap in the face to all actresses of COLOR.

I found it boring…Haven’t bought any of her cd’s since Velvet Rope. Janet seems to be giving it one last try. I can’t blame her for that , but I don’t see much chance of music making an impact anymore.

LOL @The Beyonce refrences above.
Where the fuck is this Beyonce comparison coming from. Leave that shit between Janet and Ciara. Beyonce is more vocal than them 2. I’m confused, why are ppl compaing a trainned vocalist with a 20 year veteren dancer. I just dont get it! Ciara is suppose to be the “new Janet”! Leave it at that LOL! Bey is nothing like either of them, like I said she’s more vocal!

Honestly? I don’t like it. It’s just similar to every other video she’s done. Janet has always been “different” when it came to the videos, so this is just ‘eh’. I’m basically used to it. I think everyone is! People are just agreeing with eachother because they want to believe she’s bringing something fresh, when in actuality…she isn’t. I’m sorry, I’m not going to sit here & agree with something I don’t really care for.
But, the dance moves are hot as usual. For a 40-something year old, she’s still looking better than most of the 20-something year old’s out there right now, you better get it girl! ♥
The ponytail? Bad choice mama.

@THATBITCH, why do you feel every female artist has to make an album like “Velvet Rope” or “The Miseducation of L.H.”? If Ciara and Beyonce never do albums like those will what they bring to music be less significant than what Janet and Lauryn bring to music.
So what…..everyone doesnt make music that makes you think. Wouldnt it be boring if every artist did.
And Mariah and Bey could sing Janet into the point of no return. Their vocals are stronger. But thats a debate for another time.

i think the video was ok. i’ve watched it a couple of times and really liked the dancing in the beginning rather than the end. i got a futuristic bob fosse vibe when she danced on the planets and feel like the dancing in the white fluid is similar to what we have seen from janet before.

*************This is a great comeback for her. I like that she isn’t doing “what you’re use to” so to speak. You have to step outside the box. I’m tired of seeing people dancing in a parking lot or in a club. That’s soooo BLAH to me. She did good and i like the song. This video makes you want to watch it all the way thru.

#100 (Shawn) It does give me “Scream” video vibe and she had the same hair-do in “What’s It Gonna Be” with Busta video. I think thats what they meant by same as before. And the video to song “Doesnt Really Matter” from The Nutty Professor 2 soundtrack had the same futuristic feel to it. I mean this video is nothing she hasnt done before truthfully.

Like the video I knew she was gonna bring the dancing and she killed you cannot lie. As for the concept giants, planets, the milky way. Does anyone remember the Jackson 5’s video for can you feel it? It has that kinda vibe but this is European all the way. If I had a personal trainer, nutritionist, and personal chef following me everywhere I’d be in tip top shape too, all of a sudden you get your nose done and probably some ta tas and everyone thinks your whole body is fake. For those complaining if you had the choice and the money you would too don’t try to front boo boos.

As an avid Janet fan, I think the video lacks that “UMPH” that makes you go like WOW in front of the screen. And the song isn’t all that. I’m trying to love it but I don’t. This is a janet we’ve already seen, the catsuit and hairstyle remind me of her looks in “WHATS GONNA BE” feat. Busta Rhymes.

ALL OF YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THIS VIDEO WAS MEDIOCRITY AT ITS BEST…
yea, certain things about it were real attractive…. BUT MAJORITY RULES, AND WITH THIS VIDEO, majority = wretched.
sorry janet lovers, its time for tha “legend” 2 sit down and stop popping that 40 year old cootch around… shes really lost because MTV wont spin this “hit”… ha!

Are u serious? have u seen When I think of U? Love will Never do? Alright? Pleasure Principal…..janet has run out of ideas, this lacks passion…it lacks incredible dancing…she’s been doing this same…gay inspired dancing for the last 7 videos..ENOUGH….bad enough the song sounds like Britney’s Song…and then to be a video ICON and release a Madonna/Britney styled dance video? Whack. it’s a dance song…why is she crawling around for 90% of the video….TERRIBLE RETURN. She’s LAZY. She tries to be sexy and keeps forgetting that all we want is to see HER DANCE INCREDIBLE…call RENEE or PAULA ABDUL and get ur swag back janet…..enough of the boring DARK gay videos. Mariah please bring it

The song and video is very Janet. I give her props for creativity. Can people please stop putting her down by trying to compare her to Beyawnce b/c they are so different on all levels. Vocally Beyawnce tops her vocally but she could not touch Janet’s precise and appealing choreography. All Bey do is shake all her A** all over the place. Plus she owes a major debt to Tina Turner b/c thats all who she mirrors.

People are so retarded! This video is on point! The first half is based solely on visuals.They wanted to create something visually stunning and they did! That was very detailed and what a great concept.Some feel it was slow in the begining but if she was ass popping from planet to planet it would have definately taken away from the detail of things & it really would have not made sense! The video was done in a build-up format.She worked her way to what everyone was waiting for…. the big dance number! & she gave a lil extra with end joint!(Props go out to eddie ueharra) because he was the first to do it!.

I wish ya’ll would shut the fuck up about this beyonce bitch. Shes irrelavent right now. How are you even comparign the two and saying B is some how goging to create better music. Thats like people saying Michael jackson stole his moves from Omarion and they can’t wait for face off 2. Ya’ll bitches find any excuse to cok ride Beyonce and the shit is just random. Beyonce aint never been known for innovative videos choreography or music quite frankley, shes only held to that high esteem becuase compared to her peers, shes the best which when you look at the artist out now , isn’t hard to be.

yea she “mirrors” Tina.. and she’s acknowledged that several times…
hence her tribute that she did for her about 2 years ago….
and yes, BEYONCE is a vocalist, as well as dancer… and just because i say she is coming 2 save us doesnt mean im comparing…. its obvious 2 the eye who’s more appealing these days.. .get n2 the media little one.
all in all… Janet is albumed out. maybe her and micheal can do a brotha / sista tour and it makes sense… enjoy her while u can nieces and nephews.
go and cop the BEYONCE EXPERIENCE and get ur life.

All Ciaras songs sound the same. She burnt out before she even started. And she got the nerve to be endorcing people like tiffany evans as if shes been in the business long enough too . The booty popping and the automated voice messaging system singing that Ciara does is not going to keep her relevant to anything other then crunk and that shit is almost dead as it is.
And Beyonce can’t dance what so ever so I don’t see what she has to do with anything.

She caught that stair time trying to be something she aint, which is a dancer. she need to just sing and shake her hips becuase shes not a dancer. Janet is a performer. Your cock riding beyonce is not going to channge like 20 years of that, try as you might. It’s funny becuase if you trueley beleived she is as bad as you claim you wouldn’t have to defend her so hard, it would speak for itself which apperently it doesn’t.

okay. a few things.
01. the song and video are ridiculously hot. janet’s team gave you EXACTLY what people want 2 see and hear from her: a crazy dance track, a great concept and some sick ass choreography. period. everyone that UNDERSTOOD that… got it.
02. although it PAINS me 2 bring up ms. knowles, LET’S NOT 4GET that a lot of her fickle-ass, literal fans hated the “deja vu” video, stating that it did not make sense with the theme of the song… interesting. that being said, look where she ended up taking “B’Day,” so let’s not count janet out with one song & one video… just because these same lames hate it.
03. janet jackson is CLEARLY doing this for the love of the game and to show everyone that she was and is a major player in popular music. even with these underperforming albums that everyone speaks of (both of which definitely went platinum), she was forbes’ 7th richest woman in entertainment. money she’s got, she’s reclaiming her throne now.
proceed.

I agree 200% with Brian (the Concreteloop reviewer). I love that Janet came with a CONCEPT for the Feedback video. I’m so over these wack-azz booty-in-yo-face videos of people bumping and grinding in the club. It took 41-year-old Janet to show these kiddies some ORIGINALITY. The vid is slick, artistic and futuristic. The visual detail is amazing. The dancing is sick, and Janet is just gangsta in that red catsuit! Finally, a video that looks like someone put more than 5 minutes of thought into it! Kudos to Janet and the director for raising the bar for 2008.
