No One Can Do Ballads Like Janet
Certainly not the rapping granny, Madonna. Can''t wait for the next album, Miss Jackson!

- Who?
- Too bad no one will sign her.
- Everyone wants to sign Janet, hater. Labels have been hounding her for years! Janet will most likely go the indie route and give us another Velvet Rope.
OP
- r3 is delusional. The girl can''t even sell out tours, and has been relegated to performing in high school gymnasiums. She ain''t going independent, and no one is looking to sign her ass. If she ever records again, she''ll of course make another albums worth of her masturbating over the sound of rain and thunder. *snore*
- Don''t be so jealous, r4! Janet is still in high demand. Her next album album will be The Velvet Rope II.
- R4, Janet''s current tour is actually doing very well, so stop hating. Janet is NOT performing in high school gymnasiums, she''s doing intimate club settings for her fans. It''s an "up close and personal" gig.
OP
- "It''s an "up close and personal" gig"\
\
Because she can''t sell out the big places.
- [quote]Certainly not the rapping granny, Madonna.\
\
Ehhhh.\
\
''Live To Tell'' and ''Rain'' are a lot better than the snoozers Miss J has released over the years.
- Bitch, PLEASE.
LaToya
- Sorry, Janet, not even both of your nipples can bring you back this time.
- r6/OP is a troll, but a hilarious one.
- OP, I was a huge Janet fan back in the day and hoped she''d come back strong after the Velvet Rope. It''s just gotten worse and worse for her. It''s not going to happen. She obviously has no idea how to handler her career. At this point I think Britney has better career instincts than her.%0D\
%0D\
RIP Janet''s career
- Well well well, after 30 years in the business, Ms. Janet still has the girls pressed. Only she could do that. Too bad none of your faves could EVER sell out shows at 45, ESPECIALLY in a world tour. 45 and hitting her moves and notes lke she was in her 20s. PLEASE let me know when one of your girls does this. Until then...*blasts Rhythm Nation 1814*

- ARE YOU MAD CAUSE JANET SLAYS MADONNASAUR''S OLD ASS! NO ONE IS CHECKING FOR THAT OLD BITCH IN 2011. LADY GAGA AND BRITNEY TOOK HER SPOT!!! HAHAHAHA STAY MAD THAT JANET HAS YOU PRESSED MONKEYS!

Judy Garland, Babs, Cher, Madonna... None of them had any trouble at 45 and beyond.
- Oh and for the Vadge stan:%0D\
%0D\
Janet''s "If" Breakdown live 2011>>>>>>>> Every live Vadge performance %0D\

Adios, mi cabronas
Janet''s Soldier
- Love her, and this song. Can''t wait to hear some new stuff.
- LOL @ r13. Oh, how I do love Janet Jackson threads!!
Janet isn't even selling out shows, shows that are in venues that can only house a few 1000 people.
My favorites? I have favorites? Madonna, Tina, Cher, all the old crones, can sell out a world tour in two seconds flat. Janet can't do that. Even her old queen choreographer said this. He said she's working her way back up.
I'm happy she left that troll, Jermaine Dupri, who helped ruin her career, but then she went and did that awful ghetto fur campaign, and showed yet again that she has no frigging idea what she's doing. I wouldn't be surprised if she never records again. She doesn't seem interested, and this "tour" that she's on, just keeps getting extended. She won't be recording any time soon, and she wants to do more films, and she's producing a film soon for Lionsgate. I think she's moved on.
About her moves, she barely does anything during these tours. She doesn't move like she used to. I don't know if it's because she's old, gained weight, or just doesn't give a shit, but she's certainly not what she once was in that department. Her pre-recorded vocals started skipping during a show two weeks ago. It was a Milli Vanilli moment.
I would love for her to do another album like "The Velvet Rope", something out of left field, but she doesn't have the balls to do it. She's in the same bubble her brother was in.
- R15: I'll give you the first 3, but Vadge, really? No babe. NOBODY is checking for Madonna anymore. Not since Brit, Gag Me, and Katy Scary have sucked dry everything she's ever done. Not to mention ruining her own popularity with that Stale Candy album plus barely releasing in the 90s.%0D
%0D
R18: Awww, at least one person attempts at reason. Too bad it isn't rooted in fact. Janet has sold out MULTIPLE shows on this tour. Apparently in leaving her side as a fan, you have failed to realize that. You apparently don't even care for her anymore so why make up statistics for her shows? She is NOT old, barely gained ANYTHING, and actually does care about her career unlike most of her peers. With the leak of certain unreleased tracks from her TVR era, she is bound to make a new album like that, which is my all-time favorite of hers. Ms. Janet is coming back, and the world better get ready. She's gunning for the top, and with no-one to stop her, she will bring back her Rhythm Nation and remind EVERYONE who the queen TRULY is. %0D
%0D
And so, Adieu.
Janet''s Soldier
- Tell us bout your other favorite 80s nostalgia acts, OP. Did you also go hear Pat Benatar at the casinos in Deadwood, SD last week?
- The fact of the matter is, Janet can put 10 "flop" albums and she''ll still have the respect of her PEERS and Hollywood. Madonna is, and has always been a joke. No one''s here for ha!
- I always thought Janet was weak in her ballads. Very sappy and sugary - comes across like an unbalanced creepy person. The sadness isn''t genuine to me. %0D\
%0D\
Say what you want about Madonna, I always find she handles ballads beautifully - even better than her dance/pop songs. There is something genuine about the sadness she relays in them. "Look of Love" from the Who''s That Girl soundtrack is a beautiful underrated song.
- R22, Madonna''s best ballad is Love Tried To Welcome Me off the Bedtime Story album.
- YOU WISH YOUR FAV WAS AS RESPECTED AS JANET. MADONNA IS NOTHING BUT A WHORE THAT SHOWCASED HER WOLF PUSSY TO THE WORLD AND FLOPPED IN THE 90''S WHILE JANET AND MARIAH HAD THEIR FOOT ON HER NECK. BWAHAHAHA STAY MAD THAT LADY GAGA CAME AND TOOK MADONNA''S SPOT. NO ONE CLAIMS THAT BUM ANYMORE!
- Love Tried To Welcome Me

\
Then how is Madonna breaking her own record with each tour, getting written into the Guinness books, and closing multimillion deals, even this past week? The album she''s currently recording is the most buzzed about album in years, thanks to her being pitted against Lady Gaga, and her film is getting released to coincide with the Oscars by Harvey Weinstein.\
\
I''m not sure what the rest of the drivel is about.\
\
r21, the industry doesn''t respect Janet, in fact, they have less respect for her now more than ever. She''ll never be entered into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame for that reason alone.
- Janet Jackson and Madonna??? Is this like Fantasy Elderly Irrelevant Diva League?
- I don''t know, I think Madonna''s best ballads are "Live To Tell", "Love Don''t Live Here Anymore", "This Used To Be My Playground", "Oh Father", "Promise To Try", "Rain", "You''ll See", "I Want You", and "Power of Goodbye".\
\
Janet''s best moment was "Again".
- EVERYONE WITH AN ACTIVE BRAIN IN THEIR HEAD KNOWS THAT VADGE IS A SHRIVELED UP SLUT. THEY ARE CROWNING GAGA AND BRITNEY THE QUEEN OF POP. EVERYONE HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT MADONNA LOL AND YOU ALL CAN STAY MAD! AND CELINE IS ABOUT TO COME FOR THOSE TOURING NUMBERS. CELINE HAS REAL TALENT. SHE DOESN''T JUST MASTURBATE ON STAGE LIKE THAT 93 YEAR OLD SLUT YOU STAN FOR HAHAHA
- Is janet still dancing around inflatable sets on her new tour?\
\
Just like she did in 2001, 1998, 1994, 1990...
- LOL! Some of you are so pressed that Tranet will NEVER reach Madonna''s level let alone the likes of Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston. So all of the "Vadge sucks" or "Nobody cares about Vadge" is tired. Her last tour made $400 million worldwide! Janet is too busy performing in little high school gymnasiums. Madonna would never stoop that low because her brand is still a high demand.
gaymuch
- i have to admit i was surprised to see she canceled an appearance at a state fair
- Whoever said that Janet gets no respect is completely wrong. Yes, she was blacklisted post nipple gate, but before then, Janet has always been a media darling. In 2011, Janet is still in the media''s favor. Madonna has always known as the pretentious, phony twit with a fake accent. Janet is a sweet, genuine, classy soft spoken woman. She''s a class act. Most of all of Janet''s albums has a cohesive, distinct sound. Her music is like fine wine and never ages. Janet is still emulated by all these new "pop" bitches. \
\
Janet is here to stay, so you''re just gonna have to find a way to deal with it.
- Yes, r30.. In her latest tour.
- HAHAHA YOU ALL STAY CLINGING TO THOSE STICKY AND STALE NUMBERS WHILE CELINE AND CHER ARE SLAYING THAT BUM AND LADY GAGA IS TAKING HER CROWN. HAHAHA STAY MAD!
- R32, you''re lying, right?
- R33 is correct!\
\
Madonna''s last tour may have grossed $222,017,248, but that pales in comparison to playing the Indiana State fair!
http://news.janet-xone.com/2011/04/janet-to-play-indiana-state-fair-on.html
- Gee, I love how some posters on here seem to think that Britney is still a viable product.
- "HAHAHA YOU ALL STAY CLINGING TO THOSE STICKY AND STALE NUMBERS WHILE CELINE AND CHER ARE SLAYING THAT BUM AND LADY GAGA IS TAKING HER CROWN. HAHAHA STAY MAD!"\
\
No different from you and other Janet fans still clinging on to her 90''s success. It''s 2011, dear. Janet is a has-been, nobody that''s headlining state fairs. Madonna is still a high demanding brand.
gaymuch
- It''s not like Britney has any hits songs right now or is selling out concert dates.
- "Whoever said that Janet gets no respect is completely wrong. Yes, she was blacklisted post nipple gate, but before then, Janet has always been a media darling.

\
LOL at Janet ever being the media''s darling. How is she in the media''s favor in 2011? By being MJ''s sister? \
\
Janet is a phony. A botch nose job, fake high pitch speaking voice mess. Sure a class act that flashes her tit at the Superbowl but won''t even admit it. LOL! \
\
Janet is here to stay in state fairs and high school gymnasiums. While Madonna is performing in stadiums around the globe like a true rock star!
gaymuch
- The thread is over, say goodbye.\
\
Take a bow, OP.
Lourdes
- Janet''s been in the game for 20+ years, fag! You''ll be dead! She''ll stomp all over your grave in her 4-inch stilettos! \
\
I don''t care how mad you are at us (Janet fans), you can''t do nothin'' about the Queen.
- R43 is sadly mistaken.\
\
Here is the true Queen!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0Wr_bR3ZvA&feature=player_detailpage#t=81s
- r44, you are INSANE! \
\
Everyone knows Jem and the Holograms were better.
- I''M NOT CLINGING TO 90''S SUCCESS. JANET IS STILL SLAYING YOU BUM BITCHES TODAY! AND FEMME FATALE AND CIRCUS OUTSOLD GRANDMA''S PURSE CANDY. HAHAHA STAY MAD THAT NO ONE IS CHECKING FOR THAT BITCH IN 2011!
- Bottom line, guys... It''s not that she got old, it''s that her music got bad bad BAD. No balls, no ovaries, no TUNES even and her voice got more and more wan along the way. Awful. %0D\
%0D\
But we''ll always have "Control" and "If" and "Rhythm Nation" and "Again" so thanks for that, Janet.
btt
- YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TALKING ABOUT JANET''S PLASTIC SURGERY WHEN MADONNA WALKS AROUND LOOKING LIKE EVERYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG. JANET STILL SLAYS THESE BITCHES IN THE LOOKS DEPARTMENT. NOBODY FINDS MADONNA ATTRACTIVE HAHAHA
- ALL-CAPS TROLL, YOU DON''T NEED TO SHOUT. YOU SOUND LIKE A SCREAMING INSANE PERSON.
- HAHAHA STAY MAD AT MY FONT FAG!
- Madonna >>>>>> Tranet and her botch nose jobs! DEAL WITH IT.
gaymuch
- JANET>>>>>>>>>MADONNA AND HER WRINKLED WOLF PUSSY!
- Janet cannot sing live with a finger up her pussy!!!! MADDONA IS STILL THE QUEEN. BOW DOWN, WHORES!!!!!
- Madonna charges five hundred dollars a seat, so of course she''s going to have the "highest grossing tour".%0D\
%0D\
The Guiness Book of World Records listing is shady. There''s plenty of proof against that.%0D\
%0D\
Speaking of shows, is Madonna going to trot out The Steven Klein video interludes and the Chrissie Hynde rock guitar segment on her next tour? Like she did in 2001, 2004 and 2007? I can''t wait to here the obligatory two hits that are remixed with current songs by other artists to give the illusion of her still being relevant. And the fifty dancers doing that sloppy choreography. %0D\
%0D
Cher
- Madonna is not very relevant in the pop world anymore but my god, Janet doesn''t even have a career.\
\
This thread is the first time I''ve heard anything about Janet since her brother died. People simply don''t care anymore.
- "Madonna is not very relevant in the pop world anymore."%0D\
%0D\
That''s putting it very nicely.%0D\
%0D\
In reality, no one under thirty knows who she is. The only time she''s mentioned in the media anymore is when she''s making out with younger men. It must kill her that Gaga asked moi to duet with her. I''m the real queen of reinvention, and I''m going to show the delusional queens how you maintain being relevant after fifty years in the biz!%0D\
%0D\
Madonna can have her limted fanbase of AARP white queens.%0D\
%0D
Cher
- "Judy Garland, Babs, Cher, Madonna... None of them had any trouble at 45 and beyond."\
\
Yeah, because I''d crapped a fistful of barbiturates into the can and croaked!
Judy

- [italic]Madonna charges five hundred dollars a seat, so of course she''s going to have the "highest grossing tour".[/italic]\
\
And people are willing to pay it, which tells you how in demand she actually is.
- [italic]In reality, no one under thirty knows who she is.[/italic]\
\
Of course they do.
- [italic]Madonna''s last tour may have grossed $222,017,248, but that pales in comparison to playing the Indiana State fair![/italic]\
\
A state fair! LMFAO, and the date''s been cancelled. People wouldn''t be paying good money to see her ass.
- I love Janet, but this is simply not true.
- [quote]STAY MAD AT MY FONT FAG!\
\
I have to find a way to work this into a conversation today. Love It!
- What''s all this "stay mad" business about? That is most moronic phrase I''ve ever heard. The all-caps troll defends Janet so vociferously that it sounds like a 12 year-old... a 12 year-old that I''d throttle if I had to be near it for more than a minute.
- "And people are willing to pay it,"%0D\
%0D\
Yes, old white queens who still think she''s daring. She spreads her legs nowadays and the first two rows pass out because of the stench of formaldehyde.%0D\
%0D\
Everyone under fifty stop giving a shit long ago.
- There''s a hit song on the radio right now that name checks Madonna. Does anyone know who it''s by? I had on Sirius today and heard it on a station that only plays current hits. It was a male singer.
- "Madonna charges five hundred dollars a seat, so of course she''s going to have the "highest grossing tour".\
\
And I look forward to paying it every tour. So do all my queen fans. How can anyone of you fuck-ups not be impressed with Madonnas career? There wouldnt be one of those other bitches, ESPECIALLY gaga.\
I like Janet, always have. I like gaga, and britney. HATE katey perry. None of them have or will have the career of the QUEEN MADONNA!
- "There''s a hit song on the radio right now that name checks Madonna."%0D\

Could you try rephrasing that please?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhaNRoZfIWs&feature=related
- "Come Back To Me", "Let's Wait Awhile" and "Again" are 3 of my favorite Janet songs. Her voice is definitely soft but she sounds really vulnerable and pretty on these tracks.
- Janet Jackson - s-s-she RAPED ME!!!
Recording%20Studio%20Microphone
- Does everything have to be so negative?
Favorite Janet ballads:
Come Back To Me
Any Time, Any Place
That's The Way Love Goes*
Anything
Lets Wait Awhile
Funny How Time Flies
Love Will Never Do
Again
I Get Lonely*
*= could be considered a midtempo.
angela
- I like when she sings softly. Obviously she'll never do a power ballad but she doesn't need to.
- "Come Back To Me" is my favorite Janet ballad. I love the video too
