MUSIC NEWS: IS KANYE’S TOUR CANCELED? / JANET JACKSON ALBUM NEWS / WALE ALBUM DELAYED + TOUR INFO

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

All the dates/tickets from the upcoming Kanye West and Lady Gaga ‘FAME KILLS’ tour have mysteriously been removed from ticketmaster.com.

Kanye told Jay Leno earlier this week that he was going to take a long-awaited break and with this new info, it seems like he really is.

There appears to be a burgeoning mystery surrounding his upcoming Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga, which was reported to go on sale this week. The full dates were first revealed on the website for industry trade Pollstar yesterday morning, but no official information from either West or Lady Gaga’s camp has followed.

This morning, however, a smattering of tour dates for the trek were listed in the Ticketmaster website. They have since been removed. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, Ticketmaster currently lists no upcoming dates for West.

JANET JACKSON ALBUM INFO

Seems as though the new Janet Jackson material that leaked Sunday night is, indeed, her new single, but from a double-disc set of her global #1 hits.

The set, according to AOL Radio Blog, will comprise of 30 of Janet’s #1 hits in the United States, as well as internationally.

The dual CD set will hit stores November 17th. In addition, Janet has already begun working heavily with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins on her eleventh studio album, according to Rodney at this year’s VMA. Here’s what he had to say:

“I’m working heavily with Janet,” Jerkins said, adding that her new album will have a throwback feel.

“We’ve been in the studio for the last month. We’ve been getting it in. We’re going back to basics and fundamental sounds of Janet. We’re trying to target her fans by making the records that her fans will embrace. A lot of up-tempo stuff makes you feel good. There’s so many different colors of Janet. I’m a fan, I’ve always been a fan of Janet. The Rhythm Nation, the Control, the Janet. record… those make you feel a certain way. It’s been fun. I’m excited about it.”

This could be a good thing for Janet, especially after the chemistry they created with produced D’Mile on her Discipline’s lead single, “Feedback.” The new Janet studio album is scheduled for release next year. And now that folks have seen that Janet’s performance is still up to par, hopefully she’ll be able to have another successful run this go ’round.

WALE ALBUM DELAYED + TOUR INFO

DC native Wale’s album is getting delayed, but with good reason.

His debut studio album, Attention: Deficit will now hit stores on November 3rd, but not due to label complications. Wale is will be hitting the road with none other than Jay-Z, on a tour of college campus arenas and traditional venues.

At this year’s VMA’s, fans were pleased to see that Wale performed in between performances and awards with the well-known DC go-go band, UCB. Joining him on the stage with the house band, also were Solange, Kid Cudi, Pitbull and a host of others. He is currently promoting his third single, featuring Jazmine Sullivan, “World Tour.”

I hope the reason behind the madness was that Kanye took some much needed time off instead of a move from “the powers that be”.

Does Janet really need to release a #1s album? I mean I can make that on my computer right now… I’m ready for a whole new album

I was not feeling Janet’s performance at the VMA’s at all, therefore I can’t say if she still has it or not. She was off…but I gave her a pass because of the circumstances.

ya'll know it

Man I hope kanye’s alright.
I definitely don’t agree with what he did, that was effed up
but I’ve been worried about him since his mom’s death
he desparately needs to take a break. Instead he threw himself into his work like crazy. If this tour is canceled, I know fans will be pissed, but I hope they understand. This HUMAN BEING needs time to become stable again, and healthy again.
I however don’t think the vma outburst was anything other than alcohol, i like how he didn’t apologize for what he said..just how he said it. Kanye will always be madhonest and real….it was just one of those “when keeping it real goes wrong” lol.

Coming from Washington DC I am really glad that Wale is getting some shine and really repping the city in a good way, thought they could have picked a better band than UCB to be the houseband but proud for my city non the less. DMV STAND-UP!

I was looking so forward to this kanye/Gaga tour. Nevertheless I believe that everyone needs to take the time for self-care. Physical and Mental health are very important, and if he needs to take the time off to get healthy, then that’s what he needs to do. More power to him.

I wish Janet would just come out with a whole new album when she’s ready though. I’m still excited for this album, I totally dig her old material.

wow

Wednesday, September 16, 2009 /

i was looking forward to the tour! damn, but he does need some therapy before he loses his mind! the break is necessary, especially at this point

I swear, people are taking this Kanye/Taylor Swift thing way too far. If he’s taking a break to reflect on himself, then that’s great. However, if this is becuse of backlash from the VMA incident, then that’s ridiculous. I’m not trying to turn this into a race thing because Kanye was DEAD WRONG for doing what he did, but if he had pulled this on Keke Palmer instead of Taylor Swift, the media wouldn’t have blown it up nearly this much, and we all know that.

I can’t wait for Janet’s new album. Her new song is HOT! She and Rodney have a good chemistry, and I’m so glad to hear they are working together again, along with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Her VMA performance was really good. I’m hoping people can finally look past the BS and start appreciating this woman as the icon she is. The reason her past few singles haven’t blown up as much as they should have is because radio has still been blacklisting her for the whole super bowl incident. That was almost 6 damn years ago. Get over it!!! Much love Janet!

Janet’s performance from Sunday’s VMA’s was EVERYTHING she delivered Scream
with full force and a whole lotta energy. Im definitely anticipating the new album loving
“Make Me” tho got it heavy on the playlist. Im getting tired of Wale’s album getting pushed back somethin must be seriously wrong because this is the third time this
has happened. Kanye needs to take a break altho he fessed up and admitted he was wrong he still needs to wind down and get his mind right.Im still kinda heated by his rant towards ms Swift but its over and done.

im sooooooo tight! I was real hype for the tour! I was gonna pay top dollar to sit right up under their asses 4 the show! Cause with those 2, i Know that show was gonna be something 2 remember!

I hope theres just a glitch in the system or a sick joke, but if not….I really hope he takes the time he needs 2 get back on track! i love his work and he’s extremely talented, i would hate 2 c him go down for some petty shyt, but it’s obvious he hasn’t taken the time he needed after his mom’s passing.

Remember Ye’ ur true fans r gonna be right here awaiting!

I’m sure Janet will do her thing, and I think Kanye needs a break. His behavior is a cry for help; borderline break-down. I hope all goes well for both of them!!!

I still cant beleive Kanye sabotaged his career for Beyonce OR MAYBE IT’S A CLEVER PLOY SO HE DON’T HAVE TO GO AROUND TOURING RUN THIS TOWN WITH JAY Z NOW THAT HE HAS FOND HIS OWN NICHE, JAY IS NOTHING WITH OUT HIGH PROFILE COLLABS WHICH SAVED HIS SKIN THIS TIME ROUND

and also i dont know what show u all were watching on Sunday b/c the tribute she did 4 MJ, u can tell she wasn’t all there, i didnt c ANY ENERGY! all i saw was a heart-broken lil sister who tried 2 put her best foot forward and put on the best tribute 4 her big bro! During her performance, u could c the pain in her face and also c she was ready 2 cry @ any sec

She didnt even stay 4 the awards, she left immediately after the performance.

I give her all the respect in the world, I can only imagine the pain she was feeling during the performance, THEY WERE EXTREMELY CLOSE, b4 he began shutting every1 out. She’s very strong!

RIP MJ

Can’t wait for Janet love her. I hope everyone can get over the whole superbowl thing. She was not the only person envolved and because shes a women she’s being treated differently. Glad shes back with Jimmy and Terry the chemistry between them is amazing. She is an and always will be an icon she has earned that through her amazing career which have inspierd a whole generation. Can’t wait for the new album. I LOVE YOU JANET.

#15 She still held it DOWN period but I dont blame her for not staying MTV is so damn fake and fickle had MJ still been living they would have not asked her to perform
on that stage even tho she is true LEGEND and actually holds talent MTV nowadays
allow any and everyone to win awards saying they are creative videos when really they not. Janet ripped that stage like it was nuthin. IMO she was the BEST that night after that I completely turned

Karma is a B!TCH!!!! He ran his mouth and trashed Chris Brown during his problems and now the shoe is on the other foot! I do believe that this issue is goin way too far but he needs to stop sticking his nose in people’s business and running his mouth!!! He needs to fall back forreal and fix his arrogant ways!!

Janet screw dat #1s album i need new music from you!!!! Plus i got every Janet Cd lls

It was said last nite on max 94.1 (dj trelly trell) that mr.west is in the hospital. That there had been comments made by mr.west that he wanted to die and that he was going to kill himself. Therefore he was placed on watch. Bringing the tour on a standstill

I’m glad that Kanye is taking a break! He’s hella annoying, rude, cocky/arrogant, he’s such a b*tch. I can’t stand him. What he did was terribly wrong, and I know it’s something that everyone can get over, but what I am many others can’t get over is his attitude period! He outbursts at events/award shows every year!!! So he really does need to check himself. Plus, Lady Gaga sucks, wtf he doing on tour with her?

I am so glad that some people finally are agreeing that Janet Jackson’s performance wasn’t good or wasn’t the best. I wish that people would stop ignoring all the flaws just because IT WAS A TRIBUTE TO HER DEATH BROTHER! Like I said before, that was very sweet of her and she had every right to be up there but she LIP SYNCED THE WHOLE THING, MISSED MANY DANCE MOVES AND DANCED WAY TOO SLOW! I’m really sick and tired of people’s stank attitude to people who have a DIFFERNT OPINION! I don’t care if people call it hating, jealousy, negativity… whatever what I said about the performance was true!

I will get the #1’s album if the rumor is true, but I’m looking forward to the album from 2010!!!!!! Yes Janet Jackson had a slip everyone saw that who knows the dance break down of the song, but why are people making a statement about that? She still was voted the best performance of the night, so get over it.

ANYWAYS I CANT WAIT FOR JANETS GREATEST HITS, AND NEW ALBUM NEXT YEAR AND WHATEVER SHE IS BRINGING. HER PERFORMANCE AT THE VMAS IM SURE SHE HAD ALOT OF DIFFERENT EMOTIONS GOING ON. SHE STILL HAD SO MUCH ENERGY & REPPED HER BROTHER. TRUE PERFORMER. SHE HAD ONE LIL SLIP AND MOST DIDNT NOTICE.

So excited (no pun intended) for all the Janet news in the past two weeks. Whoever thought her performance wasn’t good needs to go watch it again, clearly you’re hating just because that’s all you can do. Who at 43 can come out and give what Janet gave? She always breaks away from the choreography in all of her performances, that’s not a mess up. It’s called performing. And yeah, she slipped, but to slide across the floor and drop to your knees and pop right back up at 43 isn’t quite as easy as it was at 29. Hell, many 29 year olds can’t do it. So stand DOWN haters!

That would be a shame if they all of a sudden cancelled Kanye’s tour. I wasn’t plannin to go or anything, but I’d be mad as hell if I were.

@ #7

true, but it’s not like they’d ever give KeKe Palmer an award in the first place. lol.

i agree, this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. yeah he messed up and this isn’t the first time…but i think he’s had enough public ridicule and verbal punishment.

38.

why?

Wednesday, September 16, 2009 /

Taylor is a child? She’s 19 and last time I checked that’s an adult. That whole award show is ridiculous. MTV this decade in general are stupid. I see the VMA’s like the Teen Choice Awards. The majority of the people voting are teenage girls with a bad taste in music. I’m not gonna even say MTV unimpressed me because they shouldn’t even be doing ANYTHING involved with music anyways. They mostly show stupid shows I don’t care for and play music in the background and during the credits.

If I choose to defend Kanye it’s not because I agree with what he did but I am a fucking fan and his actions were wrong but his opinions most of the time (even if he was drinking) are true. Even if many people view Single Ladies from Beyonce as an annoying song it deserved that female award and not video of the year. MTV is up to some bullshit with the artists they choose to nominate because most of them are a bunch of posers and wack anyways (PINK wannabe punk, K.Perry a stupid role model, and. I think Kanye should’ve known that MTV is wicked. Remember how back in 2007 at the VMA’s he didn’t get shit and he was nom. for 5 awards? Dude got pissed and then next year they let him perform Love Lockdown at the end of the 2008 VMA’s. Man he messed up again but yeah he apologized and those MORONS saying he doesn’t mean it are just stupid and have nothing else to do but spread hate and negativity. Oh and Obama called him a jackass. Ok? Kanye was a jackass but I doubt the dude thinks kanyes existence is stupid.

FUCK RECORD SALES. I’M SEVENTEEN AND I ADMIT THAT MANY TEENS OF THIS GEN. ARE FUCKING STUPID. TAYLOR SWIFT SOLD ALL HER ALBUMS BECAUSE SHE’S LIKE THAT AMERICA’S SWEETHEART B.S JUST LIKE MILEY, SELENA, AND LOVATO. SHE IS A DECENT ARTIST BUT NOT A BIG DEAL. KANYE IS ACTUALLY INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS AND TAYLOR ISN’T. WHEN HE WENT ON AMERICAN IDOL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WERE TALKING SHIT AND THOSE SAME PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING SHIT AND SHOWING THEIR REAL IGNORANT SIDE BY SAYING RACIST THINGS. KANYE CHANGED THE GAME NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK AND THIS INCIDENT IS JUST GONNA MAKE HIS NEXT ALBUM MORE GREAT. ANYONE STILL THINKING IT WILL INVOLVE AUTOTUNE NEED TO STFU BECAUSE HE HASN’T USED IT SINCE 808′S ALBUM. MOST OF THE SONGS HE WAS FEATURED ON WERE W/O IT AND IMO HE WENT HARD ON ALL THOSE SONGS (KINDA LIKE A BIG DEAL AND RUN THIS TOWN FOR EXAMPLE).

Anyone calling this dude gay and dissing him now are stupid, ignorant, hypocritical dullards. His mom died and it really was tough for him. Plus his last relationship messed him up to. GIVE THE DUDE A BREAK AND GET OFF HIS BACK!

damn, you some of you guys need enlightenment. or a hug. or good sex…

anyways…
i’m excited for the janet #1’s album…been a fan since pop rocks were cool to eat…lol :)

gooooo wale! i like that dude.

43.

The Reason

Thursday, September 17, 2009 /

A&M is releasing Janet’s #1’s because they own them. As well as songs from Virgin licensed out. She’s not releasing anything new. It’s the record companies trying to make a buck, as usual. It’s all business, unfortunately. Glad she’s releasing new stuff next year and getting back to Jimmy and Terry while keeping Rodney. He had great chemistry with her and he can update the dance tracks without being too kiddie ghetto fab with it.

44.

The Reason

Thursday, September 17, 2009 /

Oh Truthfully speaking, honey chill out. LOL She did slip during the break down. SHe was a little stiff, it’s not up to the Janet standard that hardcore Janet fans expected. With all that said she did the damn thing. Not a doubt in my mind that she still has it. When she starts to look like Mariah dancing then I’ll agree and say she doesn’t have it anymore, until she still can’t be touched.
