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.
According to the Daily Mirror, Janet’s latest single hasn’t even made the top 100 download chart in the UK – after three weeks on sale. Now her label, Island Records might pull the plug on bringing the CD version to the UK.
“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?
OH MY WORD!!!! Why are you such a hater you just would love to see Janet fail! The single is doing well in the US so why are you going out of your way to tell us what is going on in the UK with her single……WTF!!!!!!! It is like you go out of your way to find negative information to report. You should be uplifting not always trying to find the negative things to “blog” about. I love your site do not get me wrong but I hate to see that you always go out of you way to put people down.
Janet be aight.She got money.
Sandra,
I totally agree with the last respondent. You are very negative! I know that you post and accept emails only from certain people. I know of another blogger whom you do not accept emails or comments from because you don’t like hearing the truth. You bash Beyonce, Jay Z, Usher and Tameka because you know that you are nothing on their radar and that they would never allow your class of photography at any of their events. You praise hood rats like Monica and TI because they allow you to take pictures at their low rated parties at local strip clubs. GET A LIFE AND GROW UP. YOU ARE TOO OLD TO BE ACTING LIKE A CHILD. BY THE WAY, AREN’T YOU NEARLY 50 YEARS OLD?
YOU GUYS TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!LOL this is a prime example of the crab effect…people at the top have people like sandra who try to pull them down. She attacks people out of her league (i.e Beyonce, Janet, Usher, Jay-Z etc.) When you pull the money that Janet has been pulling for years THEN speak on what is a flop…this lady tours the world, what do you do? Im sure ur are a MAJOR flop in her eyes!!
Sandra you are so negative. I swear you hate on Janet so much. You are such a jelous bitch!!!! Don’t hate Janet because she is beautiful and has more talent in her pinky finger than you have in your whole body. If the single was a flop then why is it steadily moving up on all the Billboard Charts. Not just one or two but on like 6 or 7 charts.
Oh well, that’s the UK’s loss because that song is fire!!
Personally, I like the song. It has a real dance/club feel to hit. Trust me, the kids are gonna make it a hit. Sandra, you need to leave Janet alone. You hate on her and Beyonce all the time. Yet, you are constantly jocking Monica. You even turned the comments off about her on your blog. In my personal opinion, Monica can’t even hold a torch to Beyonce or Alicia Keys (the other person you love to hate on), nonetheless, Janet. Besides, since when does the UK determine if a song is a hit or not?
Is it me, or the new generation seems not to want to embrace Miss Janet??? There seems to be room for mariah, yet janet is being overlooked… Maybe her time has passed literally…
Sisters, I personally think Janet got blackballed for the whole fiasco that happened 4 years ago. Actually, DamitaJo was on of her better cds, but because of the whole mess surrounding that, they never gave that cd much of a chance. I agree, people still love Mariah. However, for some reason, tend to hate on Janet. If I were her, I would probably make this my last cd, if it doesn’t do well. She has a large enough fan base to tour and still sell out.
@Prissydiva71 OMG I thought I was the only one who thought DamitaJo was awesome!!! I bump that CD so much I had to buy another one because after awhile I couldn’t clean it anymore to get it to play lol. & agree that Janet just needs to stick to touring, her real fans including myself will support her tours no matter what or where they are. I love Mariah but I think because of that whole fiasco it seems like people are afraid to say they enjoy the material that Janet puts out!!!
I’d rather it bomb in the UK than the U.S. It’s a bigger market here anyway. Leona Lewis has done well over in England, but how will her record fair once it hits the colonies’ airwaves? I’ll be buying the LP, most definitely. I’m loving the video and the song!
Let’s not even mention Mariah and Janet in the same breath! One can sing, one can’t. If Janet’s CD is crap, then it’s crap. Why does it have to be hate??? If she had a good song people would buy it. I haven’t even listened to this new one because of that last cd. You guys are gonna honestly say that ‘Call Me’ song with Nelly didn’t bore you to tears???? Please.
Oh, and stop trying to gel your hair into wanna-be waves, Janet. You’re not fooling me.
