  2. Nicole May 19, 2010

    WOWW!! She looks beautiful though.

  3. Lonny May 19, 2010

    Yay Janet. It’s good to let your hair breathe. I bet it looks great full frontal when she’s smiling

  4. K.Rowland May 19, 2010

    She’s janet, She can do what she wants.

  5. ImHighPrice May 19, 2010

    NOOOOOO!….Now she looks EXACTLY like her brother & it’s not a good luck…she might be able to rock a short doo but not like this…SMH Queen Janet…please wear a hat from now on..

  6. Jade22 May 19, 2010

    Maybe if her hair was styled different I probably would’ve like it. She a lot of weight too. Looking s*** J.

  7. Boricua May 19, 2010

    You mean she just took her weave out…

  8. Heaven May 19, 2010

    I love the hell out of Janet but that first pic’s angle has her looking like ET.

    There’s nothing wrong with the cut it’s cute and she’s lost a good bit of weight.

  9. queenb May 19, 2010

    oh wow what the heck! it makes her look so old

  10. G- May 19, 2010

    She looks good…

  11. SparkD May 19, 2010

    I think Janet went crazy and cut all of her hair off in grief.

    I don’t believe she’s being edgy.

  12. OHH HELL NAW! May 19, 2010

    I looooooooooove Janet but i’m soooooooooooo mad @ her for doing that to her hair! WTF! She looks like the neighborhood fiend! Lawda Mercy! LMAO!

  13. geronimo Deuces May 19, 2010

    she has to do this otherwise she will flop, and flop and flop im sorry she is an attention seeker >_>

  14. Ghetto Fab May 19, 2010

    Yall sound like idiots. Her hair has probably been like this for some time. You would never know what a black celebrity’s hair looked like anyway because they always cover it up with these weaves and wigs.

    Janet Jackson is an Icon and can make any hairstyle look beautiful. The hair isn’t styled its just slicked back. Wait til she styles it then give an opinion folks.

  15. Rashaan May 19, 2010

    I LOVE HER! You go JANET!

  16. CAROLLOVE May 19, 2010

    Love her new look. She’s beautful anyway

  17. Kyan May 19, 2010

    DIANA ROSS MUCH!

  18. Jsean May 19, 2010

    Definitely a different look. Janet can do no wrong. she looks good. And wow, she lost all that weight, but still looks healthy. good look Janet.

  19. Hazel May 19, 2010

    HOLY MOLY. WOW. I swear Janet can pull off any look.

  20. Dee May 19, 2010

    That looks terrible. Yuck.

  21. kveick May 19, 2010

    it’s her head, she can do what she wants

  22. Marvster May 19, 2010

    She look a hot mess in those pictures. That look ages her considerably too.

  23. DTG May 19, 2010

    I know weave glue eventually gets loose, but that does NOT look good. If I didn’t know better, I would think she was her brother Marlon. She need to yank some strands out of Kelly’s wig.

    Meh Janet. Meh.

  24. Anne May 19, 2010

    She can do what she wants to her head and those who so choose can voice their opinion. Personally, I think she looks a lot better with MORE HAIR. Based on the pics above, I think this short hair-do doesn’t compliment her face. Those are two unflattering pics of Janet.

  25. Ben May 19, 2010

    I HATE IT! WHY ?

  26. Emmi3 May 19, 2010

    Honestyl…it looks good ..looks tuff ..bad girl janet..i likes it

  27. Tiff May 19, 2010

    This is what happens when You wear weave for years and years..you come out with thin and damaged hair. But I get wanting to go short..I cut my hair also. Its just easier to deal with. But Janet..that is not it. I love you but..no

  28. huh May 19, 2010

    she looks like a frog now…oh janet what have u done?

  29. BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE) May 19, 2010

    JANET N BEY CAN DO WAT THEY WANT!!

    THEY BOTH LEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ANYBODY GOT SUMTHIN TOO SAT ABOWT THEM THEY CAN DEEL WIT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. jayden May 19, 2010

    some of u stans r being way too nice….i love janet but this is a horrible look for her she looks 50+ !!!! lol oh janny

  31. B May 19, 2010

    People believe anything that someone tells them. HOw can anyone say its a bad haircut when it isn’t even styled. Like some others have said, she probably just took her weave out and cut her hair short to make the new weave easier to put in. Or she could really just go with having short hair. And if so, I say BRAVO!!! We’ll see on Friday when she’s on Graham Norton!!! (she’ll probably have a weave back…lol)

  32. Andre Le Dale May 19, 2010

    I love Janet Jackson, I hope she keeps this look, please Janet Jackson show these bishes how it’s done. You can still be fly and kill it with the short hair ASK Halle Toni and Riri, BLACK PEOPLE R FLY…..

  33. RANDOM May 19, 2010

    nooooooooooooooooooooooo janet ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh put it back on pleeeeeeeeease.

  34. ~Team Weezy~ May 19, 2010

    Not lovin’ it.

  35. THE ONE May 19, 2010

    SHE LOOKS LIKE ORANGUTAN M*****…

    JUST HORRIFIC ! : ()

  36. YoMammaDon’tWorkHere May 19, 2010

    the hair looks fine, but the angle of the photo is not flattering.

  37. keith May 19, 2010

    I’m a stan so I will deal with it. But she hasn’t rocked this publicly since the 90’s and I am happy to see it again. I think it was at a screening of the Godfather or something like that. I am more amazed at the weight. I am looking forward to Friday…

  38. A JAN FAN May 19, 2010

    Love Jan but dont love the new look *SIGH*

  39. Caitlin May 20, 2010

    BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE)

    You’re so right, Janet can do what she wants and pulls it off, I love her.

  40. Stoney-Brie May 20, 2010

    Janet’s still gorgeous regardless..! someone said it might be because she’s still grief stricken.. it might be true..Janet’s not lookin too happy i remember i saw a photo of her just a day before the haircut she looked so sad and someone twittered they heard she spent her birthday thinking about Michael.

  41. ADE May 20, 2010

    That first picture is just too hilarious! No Janet, back to the weave please.

  42. LOLLY UK May 20, 2010

    You just have to laugh at the ignorance of some people! Janet is very beautiful and she’s probably always had short hair with all the weaves and wigs!

  43. bobby from bulgaria May 20, 2010

    Well, she didn’t look too beautiful before but now… Whatever…

    I’ll have to see more pics…

  44. Kev May 20, 2010

    I think that it will look fantastic once it’s styled. Janet can pull off any look, she’s beautiful! I think once it look more polished it will definitely look alot more flattering. I love our captivating and ever changing Goddess and Queen Janet Jackson!

  45. Jasun May 20, 2010

    I can’t believe Janet let herself be seen in public like that. It’s like she’s been scalped.

  46. Last Boy on Earth May 20, 2010

    I love Janet but she looks like Grinch here..

  47. LUV-LEE May 20, 2010

    First if all…F*** each and every last one of you who got something negative to say about Janet.

    2nd…This is not the first time Janet had short hair like this. Janet is an extremely beautiful…no…STUNNING woman and she doesn’t need her hair to define her beauty. Unlike some of you trolls who are talking s***.

    3rd…@Stony-Brie. What you just wrote made me tear up and I am at work!! 🙁

    4th…@B. Is Graham Norton a show in London? Do you know if she will be performing, or is it an interview?

    Last but not least…
    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!! 😀

  48. May 20, 2010

    mh dont know…
    why can you see her head through her hair?
    and somehow she looks old…
    she didnt look that way during the last performance

    dont know, maybe shes sick?

    i love her (you have to say it, or you’re a hater if you criticise someone), but she doesnt look good here…

  49. Renae May 20, 2010

    How do ya’ll know if she actually cut her hair or just took out all the weave????????

  50. brotha1461 May 20, 2010

  57. Erica May 20, 2010

    WOW! In the 1st pic she looks like MJ.. WOW! It looks good.. She did diz before back in the day, this aint new for her at all.. Forget the hair, wat about her weight…. How the hell does she do it all the time.. Shi better come out with that YO-YO True You book she suppose to come out with cause I need to know what the Queen does, shoot!!

  58. MJfan May 20, 2010

    Beyonce has nothing to do with this, why must little kids bring her up in every post. Janet is a legend, Beyonce isn’t. Please stop categorizing Janet to these youngsters. Please. Beyonce will still go on if you don’t talk about her for one day.

    Janet has a pretty face, so she can rock the short look. She has in the past and it worked for her. It appears since MJ died, Janet is doing what makes her happy and be true to herself, despite what people say. Something Michael with all his talent never did. That should be commended. She doesn’t have any music coming out, and acting is her main focus right now, so she’s looking edgier.

    Besides, all this if her fine and s*** arab man from Qatar can handle and love the short hair cut, than I say, girl go bald and hold on to that eye candy. Now can grapejuice.net post a picture of that s*** arab Janet is dating after breaking it off with JD. Janet had me confused for awhile. That man is fine. Does he have a brother?

  59. boytoy1814 May 20, 2010

    ONE WORD : FIYAAAAAAAH !!!!!!

    DAAMN JANET LOOKS SOOO HOT !!! I LUVV IT !!!!!!!!!

    THE “RHYTHM NATION” WILL NEVER DIE !!!!!!!!!!

  60. Jasun May 20, 2010

    You Janet zombies always either dismiss or make excuses for everything she does. I can’t believe one of you dunces had the audacity to say something about “legend.” This post is about her f****** hairstyle…not her fame, career or status. She “rocked” that hairstyle before? Please. When? When in the past has she ever “rocked” a slicked back, thinning, near bald look that damn near made her resemble Skeletor? Shut up. If she didn’t have time to get her do done, then she should have thrown on a cap before leaving the house. That “look” looks terrible. Period.

  61. KD May 21, 2010

    Wow, the delusional stans need to give it up. Seriously who are you trying to convince? She looks a mess point blank, I do hope that all is well with her though.

  62. Love Music May 21, 2010

    Janet. Miss Jackson if you nasty. 🙂 Loves her <33

  63. Chocolate May 21, 2010
