Janet Jackson: “I Haven’t Stopped Making Music”

Published: Sunday 23rd May 2010 by Trent

While promoting her new film, ‘Why Did I Get Married Too?’, in Brixton, Janet Jackson revealed that she actually hasn’t stopped making music. This news contradicts earlier statements made by ex-boyfriend Jermaine Dupri who said that she may have been considering giving up on recording future albums. Jackson also spoke about her decision to cut off her hair as well as some of her upcoming acting projects. Check out the footage below (thanks to Denzel for sending it in!):

And there you have it!

    LOOOVVEEEEE JANET

    MY “VERY” FIRST CONCERT WAS THE VELVET ROPE HERE IN LA W/ MY MOM AND HER FRIENDS WHEN I WAS LIKE 10 yrs!! INCREDIBLE.

    Keep bringing us great music, Ms. Janet! I’m so sick and tired of Beyonce’s ghetoo lyrics and her hiphop burlesque crap that only the gay boys can relate to. Janet is the queen of pop, R&B and dance.

    Janet’s got something up her sleeve. Essence festival and then another festival in Daytona Beach. Something tells me it doesn’t stop there.

  6. Tiff May 23, 2010

    She looks really nice. I love it. Only thing is..you can see her bra though that top.

    But if she comes out with a new album..I’m buying it!

    CORRECTION: I decided to TAKE OUT MY WEAVE, not cut my hair all off. HAHA Black women are so delusional about their store-brought hair.

  8. tracy May 23, 2010

    @DIANE

    F*** OFF PLEASE!!! Janet was wearing her hair natural most recently and she CUT IT OFF!! You must be one of those f****** idiots who say “black women can’t grow long hair” too

  9. mikelo May 23, 2010

    @ diane … you suck

  10. Sorry Ginuwine May 23, 2010

    Why would be listening to Jermaine Dupri? He’s not Janet’s spokesperson and Ms. Jackson has always been capable of speaking for herself in regards to her career direction.

  11. Destiny May 23, 2010

    Janet Is beautiful with long or short hair and she did get it cut. Whether she had a weave in before..she did get her hair cut. Also any logical thinking person will see that her hair is really short in the back..if that was pre-hair cut ; how would she had attached weave to that!? Sigh’s! Why can’t Black Women do what they want to their hair without comments? Either you like it or don’t! If you don’t! Turn your head and keep on pushin’!

  12. Daniel May 23, 2010

    I wonder why some people love these kinds of artists. She can not sing or act.

  13. SEAN2010 May 23, 2010

    DANIAL

    SHE HAS CLASS
    SHE HAS TALENT
    SHE HAS A NICE SOFT VOICE
    SHE HAS STAGE PRESENCE
    SHE IS A TRUE SONG WRITER
    SHE CAN DANCE HER ASS OFF

    ETC ETC

    IF SHE DIDNT HAVE TALENT THAN HER TOURS WOULDNT BE EMMY NOMINATED OR SET RATING RECORDS ON HBO OR HAVE THE MOST GROSSING DEBUT WORLD TOUR IN HISTORY.

    ETC ETC ETC. SHE BEEN AROUND SINCE SHE WAS 7 YEARS OLD WHETHER DOING ACTING OR MUSIC.

    PEOPLE WITH NO TALENT AT ALL DOESNT LAST THAT LONG!

  14. Daniel May 23, 2010

    People are really blind. Pathetic.

  15. YoMammaDon’tWorkHere May 23, 2010

    Love Janet. I don’t understand why her success hasn’t been more in the last few years (regarding music that is).

  16. JAYLA May 23, 2010

    DANIEL IS OBVIOUSLY A F** BOY

  17. JJFan1814 May 23, 2010

    @Daniel

    you must be a madonna fan. and if you are then you have no reason to post here. Janet can obviously out dance Madonna and out act, so just….go somewhere and die.

  18. SEAN2010 May 23, 2010

    NO S****. YOUR THE ONE THAT IS BLIND!

    CLEARLY HER 20+ YEARS IN THE BIZ SLAY YOU AND YOUR OPINION. LOL

    WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO? CRY YOU A RIVER? WTF? LOL

    GET OVER IT LIL S****.

  19. Dev May 23, 2010

    Who is the interviewer? i wonder what he whispered in her ear at the end. I don’t understand why people have to be so offensive when someone says something that they don’t agree with.

  20. Daniel May 23, 2010

    @JJFan1814

    I’m not a Madonna fan. She’s not a singer either.

    I can not imagine how anyone could believe that Janet really can sing.

    @JAYLA

  21. Daniel May 23, 2010

    @JAYLA

    You’re attacking me because you know I’m telling the truth. Sad.

  22. Daniel May 23, 2010

    @SEAN2010

    Ok. She has two decades of work. So She is a good singer. I’ll repeat that: pathetic.

    ——————————————————————–
    Wachu talkin bout Willis??? 😯
    Janet’s doing another show??? Please tell me where u heard this? When is she performing in Daytona Beach???

    Janet looks absolutely stunning with short hair. She can do no wrong. As far as her music we talked about this before TGJ. Janet never stopped making music. She only put off putting out another album because she is trying to decide if she is gonna go independent or sign with another label. She said it herself. Jermaine is not a reliable source for Janet info anymore because they are not together.

    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!!

  24. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 23, 2010

    I LIKE HER HAIR BUT I HOPE SHE CAN COMEBACK

  25. BLA CK AND BEAUTIFUL May 23, 2010

I JUST LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING TO THAT RACIST THAT CALLED SOMEONE S****, ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO HIDE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS OR WHITE SHEETS AND TALK THAT TRASH ABOUT MY PEOPLE IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK BECAUSE U WILL NEVER BE REMEMBERED ON THIS EARTH BY ANYONE WHEN YOUR TIME CARD HAS BEEN PUNCHED SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAND PICKED BY GOD TO DELIVER A MESSAGE TO THIS EARTH AND WE ALL KNOW WHO PICKED YOU TO DELIVER THAT STATE MENT SO U KEEP WORKING FOR THE OTHER SIDE WE KNOW WHO SHALL PREVAIL IN THE END .

  26. SEAN2010 May 23, 2010

    DANIEL

    SHE HAS 3 DECADES WORTH OF GREAT MUSIC! WHICH SHE COVERED MANY DIFFERENT SUBJECTS AND INSIPIRED OTHERS TO GET AN EDUCATION AND BE COMFORTABLE IN THEIR OWN SKIN ETC.

    JANET MAY NOT BE A POWERHOUSE SINGER! BUT SO THE HELL WHAT. WHO CARES?

    SHE IS STILL KNOWN FOR HER HARMONIES AND ETC.

    IF YOU FEEL JANET CANT SING. LOL THAN THAT IS YOUR OPINION. JUST DONT LISTEN TO HER OR COMMENT ON BLOG THAT IS ABOUT HER.

    YOUR OPINION WILL NOT CHANGE MINES OR OTHERS CAUSE YOU FEEL SHE IS NOT TALENTED. GET OVER IT.

  27. SEAN2010 May 23, 2010

    LOL@ CERTAIN PEOPLE TRYING TO BE LIKE NEW YORK OR WENDY WILLIAMS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE MAD. LOL

    CHILE PLZ. SAVE THIS RERUN ACT. ITS CORNY AND PLAYED OUT.

    LIKE I SAID! THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH! AND THAT IS………

    JANET JACKSON>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you and your opinion and life.

  28. Daniel May 23, 2010

    @SEAN2010: “JANET MAY NOT BE A POWERHOUSE SINGER! BUT SO THE HELL WHAT. WHO CARES?”

    Who cares? Everyone. Why do you think she no longer has a career?

    T*** idols are successful for a while. Fans grow up and discover that some of these idols are a fraud.

    Fact: Janet can not sing.

    Fact: Janet knew how to dance but now she is fat.

  29. Jermaine May 23, 2010

    JANET IS AN “ICON”…. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

  30. Darren May 23, 2010

    omg @ that kind in the video trying to steal my identity!

  31. SEAN2010 May 23, 2010

    DANIAL

    LOL I’M NOT HERE FOR YOUR LIES HUN.

    JANET MUSIC CAREER AS A T*** WASNT SUCCESSFUL! SHE WAS SUCCESSFUL AT ACTING!

    WHEN JANET TURNED 20 YEARS OLD SHE HAD MAJOR SUCCESS ALL THE WAY UP TO NOW!

    IF PEOPLE CARED ABOUT HER NOT HAVING A POWERFUL VOICE! THAN SHE WOULDNT BE SUCCESSFUL PERIOD IN MUSIC. YOU MAKE NO SENSE AND MOST CANT EVEN SING OR EVEN OUT SING JANET TODAY! SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

    SCREAM
    BLACK CAT
    TOGETHER AGAIN
    RHYTHM NATION
    NOTHING

    ETC ETC ETC

    ALOT OF WHAT THESE SINGERS THESE DAYS DONT HAVE IS TECHNIC OR EMOTION.

    F*** ALBUM SALES. LOL SHE SOLD WITHOUT ITUNES! CAN THESE ARTIST THESE DAYS SURVIVE WITHOUT ITUNES? HELL NO

    JANET IS NOT A DIGITAL ARTIST HUN.

    CLEARLY JANET ISNT FAT. BUT WTF DO YOU LOOK LIKE? LOL

  32. Chua! AGAIN, I WILL SAY: May 23, 2010

    TEAM JANET!

  33. GangsterA May 23, 2010

    She look nice

  34. Keith May 23, 2010

    Nice to see Janet looking comfortable and talking about her life.

    I saw the information about the Daytona Beach show (no date, though) and I, too, wonder if she doesn’t have something else “up her sleeve”.

    So, the short hair is for the movie…She has always indicated that she gets bored easily with her look. What’s new.

    Still don’t understand why non-fans bother to comment. Must be a slow news day in their lives.

    TEAM JANET! – See y’all in New Orleans

  35. TROR May 23, 2010

    Even if she isn’t done making music, I doubt it’ll sell. Her last four albums have been complete and utter flops. Radio avoids her music like the plague and she hasn’t had a top 10 single in almost 10 years. No one but Janet stans are interested in her tone deaf little coos these days.

  36. MJfan May 23, 2010

    Maybe Janet cut her hair and lost weight to do the Eartha Kitt biopic. Which is my dream, is to see her play Eartha.

  37. B May 24, 2010

    Gorgeous!!!! She just makes my heart melt!!!

  38. Chaz May 24, 2010

    @TROR you act as if Janet doesn’t have a solid twenty year history of number one songs and multiplatinum albums. She has already been where these young teeny boppers have been and had loads more success than them. So what her albums aren’t selling like they used to because in the long-run Janet Jackson will always be considered one of the best selling artists in music history. So there with your foolish notions of Janet’s irrelevance!

  39. Chaz May 24, 2010

    @Dainel FYI Janet was well into her twenties when she had her hugest success so go somewhere with that t*** idol nonesense. She was a grown ass woman putting out music that people of multiple age groups could enjoy. Furthermore, her concerts are filled with people of multiple age groups from teeny boppers to old folks so get outta here with that weak ass excuse! If her “weak” voice was that big of a deal then she would have been dismissed a long time ago. Lastly, you must be the blind one if you think that Janet Jackson is fat. Sounds like someone is a little insecure in their own skin and is trying to project their shortcomings onto another. On all counts Miss Daniel YOU FAIL! Good day!

  40. Fat, drunk, and ugly, Mariah! May 24, 2010

    she looks FABULOUS!!!! WOW!!!
