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.

In the beginning, the dance scenes in black were a bit too long. The ending with her in red was a great way to end the video. However, I would have loved to have seen shots of her in red cutting between the black choreographed scenes. This would have mad it more enjoyable to watch. It was contrived.
I give it a 7 out of 10.

You’re exaggerating KB, her last two albums sales
Damita Jo - 998,000 in USA, 2.4 million worldwide
20 YO - 1.2 million worldwide (as of March 2007)
Both debuted at #2.
______________________________________________________________________________
WHAT DONT YALL UNDERSTAND! FOR JANET JACKSON, THE ICON , THE LEGEND, THE PERSON WHO USE TO DO 10 MILLION+ WORLDWIDE IN SALES, THE PERSON YALL HAVE ON THIS HUGE PEDASTAL, THIS IS A FLOP, A FAILURE, A BRICK, A LET DOWN!!! 1.2 MILLION WORLDWIDE IS GOOD FOR SOMEONE LIKE MIKE JONES OR T-PAIN, NOT JANET JACKSON!!! THEIR ARE HUGE EXPECTATIONS FOR MISS JACKSON, ATLEAST 5 MILL WORLDWIDE IN THIS DAY AND AGE ATLEAST!!! 1.2 MILL LED HER TO GET DROPPED FROM HER LABEL OF MANY YEARS! BEYONCE AND CHRISTINA DID 4 MILLION WORLDWIDE IN THEIR FIRST FEW MONTHS, IF THEY CAN DO 4 MILL IN A FEW MONTHS OR SO, WHY DIDNT A LEGEND LIKE JANET DO 4 MILL WORLDWIDE TOTAL IN THIS DAY & AGE! THINK MAN THINK!!! THIS IS THE FACTS!!!

you seem to forget that no other artist had issues with their music being played on radio. After the superbowl radio and mtv turned their backs on janet (but stuck up for justin) so that made it harder for her.. so anything she released would have been a struggle.. Call on me went number one on the R&b charts 2 times, but stalled on pop at 25. Where a song like souljah boy or laffty taffy bull shit hits number one.. Call on me may not be the best song, but come on..

KB you do not know what the hell you are talking about. Janet did not get droped from her label she completed her record deal. Which was a 4 album $80 million deal (The Velvet Rope, All For You, Damita Jo & 20 YO). The largest in music history!

If janets numbers are low how much lower do you think ciaras and beyonces numbers will be with janet having the bigger fan base, dumbass. People kill me with these statistics and shit like they work for the record companys. You saw how much work beyonce had to do to get thise sales.

IDK about Ciara but, Beyonce is gonna do Double Platinum in TEXAS ALONE LOL!!! She is bound to do Atleast 5 Mill Worldwide! And if she releases her next album around Thanksgiving time, Its A Wrap, She’s gonna do some big numbers!!! Plus her fans are still real hyped up especially after the DVD of her Concert and the rave reviews it got WOW!!!
383.
Uh huh
Thursday, January 10, 2008 /
Yeah, Bey concert did get rave reviews but she’s a biter. BET performance: robot was Kylie and then Britney’s ideas, during her concert and The VMAs ring the alarm was Rhythmn Nation all the way and HDizzle is right Bey had to hustle to make those number for a year and a half. Damita Jo did 3.6 million according to the RIAA and 20yo did 1.2 worldwide both without a world tour and with only 2 videos a piece. I applaud Bey for her hustle but she’s not at the level yet and I don’t soubt she will get there as long as she stays true to her craft and comes with something more than kitty kat or kitty litter whatever it was called. http://www.riaa.com then gold and platinum and search for Janet. Your right KB her “fans” are hyped not the rest of the world.

The rest of the world aint hyped about Janet either just a few URBAN Blogs THATS IT!!! But we’ll see in March! Her first week might be decent but after that, THATS IT!!!

Uh huh
Friday, January 11, 2008 /
Yeah, her first week numbers might be the shit now huh? Quit flip flopping on what you say. A number one album is important is it not? Also since according to you numbers don’t lie check the placements for billboard considering she only went for adds this week officially, on every chart applicable she’s in the top 50, the majority top 40 and it’s officially dropped this week. I guess H-town better go cop more copies of BDAY. One last little tidbit for an artist who’s not “it” anymore tell me why call on me is still on the charts 2 years after it’s release at #4? If any hit was lackluster it was that.

And I said Decent first week, DECENT For Janet on Def Jam nowadays is 150K, Janet of her prime would be 400K or more first week! 150K Would be good for Letoya Luckett NOT JANET!!!

That’s right…you are an idiot! Ignorance has decended upon like nothing I’ve ever seen before, Janet’s gonna always be the business you know why? As long as haters like you exist, the more her faithful fans come out of the woodwork and thats what pisses your childish ass off, you can’t take it, and you take all your hatred out on Janet… admit it, truthfully you love Janet just as much as I do! Because trust and believe, you would never find me on some Beyonce blog 7 days later (like you are on Janet), i’m just not into her like that, got nothing against her-just not my cup of tea. Lets be real, how many times have you seen my gurl Janet’s video, probabout a hundred times, admit you love her! Guess what? I know nothing about B, but I bet you know every single thing about Janet, you know these things because she is an icon son…deal with that and in the process get help for your disorder, because hating is sooo not cute! When it comes to Janet, we (the fans) only argue with Mariah, Whitney, Madonna, Toni fans… because truly Beyonce is nowhere near Janet’s level!!!!!

I’m sooo sorry but…. I’m not feeling that video. I’m lost i don’t know what is all about. I got give it to Janet she got them dance moves pack down great. I’ll give her props for that, not bad for the age of 41, and also i do like the song. Kind dancing beat. It’s all good but… The video has got to go. Good luck on her album sales though cuz she have a big competition. Her last two albums is not so great. Janet had her days. The 90’s were the best years and she needs to stick there.

I respect Janet But I was never really A big fan, I find here attractive and she is “THE GREATEST DANCER EVER” but SHE AINT MY CUP OF TEA AND SHE NEVER WAS LOL!,My Issue is why in the hell are yall comparing A VOCALIST (BEYONCE) To A damn Dancer (JANET)! And to be honest I never even seen this video above us! I didnt even comment on it & if you check my earlier comments I SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE VIDEO LOL! SO IDK WHERE YOU GOT THIS PICTURE OF ME VIEWING THE VIDEO OR WHATEVER! I NEVER SAID SHE WASNT A LEGEND! I AM JUST IN THE DARK WITH THIS BEYONCE/JANET COOMPARISON, JUST LIKE J-LO AND MARIAH, IN BOTH CASES ITS OBVIOUS WHO’S THE BETTER SINGER AND WHOS THE BETTER DANCER! ALSO JANET HAS NOT BEEN SELLING LIKE JANET USE TO! I RESPECT HER AS A PERFORMER LIKE I DO BEYONCE AND OTHERS BUT I NEVER REALLY SEEN THE HYPE ABOUT HER EXCEPT THE FACT THAT SHE CAN DANCE BUT NOTHING ELSE REALLY! AND WHAT KILLS ME IS THE FACT THAT, FOLKS DISRESPECTED J-LO, CIARA, & PAULA ABDOUL AND BASHED THEM CRAZY ABOUT THEIR SINGING, BUT THEY LET JANET’S FEET HYPNOTIZE THEM FOR 20 YEARS AND DONT CARE ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE HAS BEEN WHISPERING HER WHOLE DAMN CAREER! BUT WHEN SHE WAS NOT SELLING WELL I AND MANY OTHERS THOUGHT THAT PPL HAVE FINALLY SEEN THE LIGHT THAT WITHOUT OUT HER FEET, SHE IS STUCK, SHE SHOULD BE A CHOREOGRAPHER AND NOT A RECORDING ARTIST! I DONT HATE JANET BUT LIKE YOU SAID ABOUT BEYONCE, SHE (JANET) IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA.

Uh huh
Friday, January 11, 2008 /
@KB Yeah I guess if you say so. When Beyonce wants to sing she can but but the vibrato and trying to make every word of every song melismatic is tiring. Yes we all know Janet’s voice is not storng but if you watch I get lonely live or, again, or any of the slow jams live she definitely has a voice. Honestly though I don’t think over 100 million people were mesmerised by feet lol. As for not seeing the hype it’snot just for perfomances trust, it’s because without Bey’s or Whitney’s or Mariah’s voice, hell with the whsipering she has put 10 #1 hits on the hot 100. I don’t compare Janet to Bey becasue Bey is where Janet used to be back in 1990.

Thank You, I like Ciara and Janet and J-Lo on stage & Beyonce aint the best dancer but she makes up what them other 3 lacks! Them 3 have backing tracks and they dont sing most of the time on stage, Beyonce on the otherhand, I only wish I saw her live but I saw it on TV, She sings her ass off, She dances as best as she can and Her Band IS NO JOKE LOL!!! But Yall have your favs and I have mine! I hope you understand where I’m coming from!

Gee…I could say the same thing about Beyonce too. I never saw the hype in her too. I mean she a good entertainer but they are plenty of artist that sing better than her ( Mariah, Whitney, Jennifer Hudson, Christina Alguilera, etc). And I wonder if Beyonce reach 30 and she does not sell 2 million will some of her stans say the same thing about her? She is washed up. Cuz she damn sure did not live up to her first album..and it was her 2nd LP right? To think of it.. that Deja Vu video was not creative either. Upgrade U, Pink Panter Video, Kitty Kat..etc. what the hell was that?
I DONT HATE BEYONCE BUT LIKE YOU SAID ABOUT JANET, SHE (BEYONCE) IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA.

No matter how “CREATIVE” Janets videos are, It all boils down to the results, and I have heard Alot of people say that they want substance and More Vocal Action from Janet, Fuck We have known FOR 20 Years You can dance, Okay we get it, HOW ABOUT THE VOICE, Can we get some range and a little power after 20 years! My Damn!!! And Mofo’s was quick to call J-Lo Out on her vocals but they let janet slide FOR 20 YEARS! DAMN! WOW!!!!

U R angry cuz like H-Town said! Frusrated over the fact that Janet is back to show the younguns how it is done. And if u want vocal like u said go suck Beyonce’s clit and let that satisfy ur pathetic rants. Every artist have thier strong points and use it to the best of their abilities. That is why u the fan have a choice in choosing the artist the best suits your type of music. If u don’t like Janet, then F**K OFF!

I think Janet Jackson new song feedback is Hot!!!! I also liked the video. I read some of the comments and some people liked the video and some people thought it was weird. I believe she took a risk and it works for the video. Who wants to she her do the same thing over and over again anyway! I know I dont! She became a legend in the music industry for doing things her way and taking risk– taking control! She also looks very hot in that red at the end of the video… goooooooooo … Janet! good for you! I can’t wait to hear more from this new project.

She is definitely back!!! I love Janet and glad to see that she got her groove back. The video is where she puts it down anyway - let the pretenders beware (Beyonce, Ciarra, Rhianna, Ashanti and who ever else aspires to be the ONE) the queen is back.
Sometimes, it’s not about the skin showing, but the mystique of the woman (her true power) that reigns…
