    “I love LOVE!” – Child Janet, that sounds like running man-to-man to fill whatever unfulfilled fountain.

    I do agree with Janet about not wanting her children to get in the business.

    why are people impressed or not impressed when a celeb gives interviews? the celeb knows the questions beforehand, and it’s edited, and every answer is scripted to fit their latest image. interviews are nothing more but public relations tools to sell their product. so if people think they are discovering new information on a celeb by interviews, they are sadly mistaken.

    the only thing about janet that we know as fact is that she is a Jackson and her name is Janet. i’m not buying the whole soft timid voice either cuz, her brother Michael’s voice was soft and timid. he spoke like a real man. hollywood is illusion.

    LIKE A VIRGIN…DUH has some serious issues.
    Janet is the queen 🙂

  34. DMWN July 6, 2010

    Janet is lame as f***. She ain’t been hot in over a decade. Her music is wack. Her interviews are trite. Her moves are predictable and stale. And most of all, she can’t hold a tune in a bucket. How you gonna call yourself a singer if all you do is mouth the words? Meh. Go sit down Janet. Your day has passed.

  35. JT July 6, 2010

    I was gonna put my two cents in, but DMWN said it all.

  36. Bullfighter808 July 6, 2010

    Gone for a bit and there is smack talk about my girl Ciara again!

    What’s with calling her c-error? Did you forget how to spell? Her name is spelled CIARA.

    Dumb ass.

  37. Dontazz July 6, 2010

    YESSSSS BEY DABESS…WE AGREE ON JANET AND BEYONCE..THATS WASSUP!

  38. Chaz July 6, 2010

    @DMWN if Janet’s music is wack then how do you explain her selling over 150 million records? She must be doing something right!

    If her moves were predictable and stale then why are there so many Janet prototypes walking around here (Ciara, Aaliyah, Mya, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, etc)

    If she can’t hold a tune then go look up her “I Get Lonely” performance on the Rosie O’Donnell show.

    Name one modern day female pop artist that sings 100% live all the time while performing intense choreography and I may start to take you a bit more seriously.

    If her day has passed then why is Janet still a topic of conversation and more importantly why are you in the comments section still talking about her?

    GOOD DAY!

  39. boytoy1814 July 7, 2010

    @DMWN & JT: KILL YOURSELF !!!!

    EDIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
