Critics who normally root for Janet Jackson were unanimous in their view that Janet’s new single ‘”feedback” wasn’t all that hot. So why then was the single being hailed by everyone else in the Universe as a surefire hit? Surely everyone was listening to the same song.

“The poor [sales] figures are no surprise as Janet isn’t big news right now,” a source told the Daily Mirror‘s 3am gossip column. This, after Def Jam’s Chairman L.A. Reid held a much-hyped private listening party over there for Janet’s new CD “Discipline”. Where’s the gratitude?
