Watch: Janet Jackson Visits Jay Leno Show

Published: Tuesday 10th Jan 2012 by Sam

Pop queen Janet Jackson is playing no games with the promotional push for NutriSystem, her new healthy living gig.

The latest stop on the trail, saw the ever-youthful star pay a visit to The Tonight Show Wit Jay Leno last night.

Check out the interview below…

We love us some Janet, but between her book and healthy living hoopla, she’s becoming a bit of a bore.

Indeed, the carnage that was the Superbowl not only affected her sales (unfairly, I must add), it’s created a much more timid (and altogether less interesting) Ms. Jackson. Perhaps in a bid to not offend, her interviews these days tend to consist of childish giggles, with little of real substance ever conveyed. Where’s the gutsy Janet of 93 who’d put Madonna in her place or the Janet who’d set an interviewer straight about her tour sales? She’s successful enough to be able to tell it like it is.

Let’s just hope these interviews and retrospective tours, are being actioned to carve out the way for a comeback.

Your thoughts?

    Queen of what? Queen of Nutrisystem?
    or Queen of yo-yo dieting?

    1. Janet looks GORGEOUS…as usual.

    2. I see u’re tryin to boost ur page visits with this shady a** post. Janet’s interviews have, for the most part, always been like this. If the reporter/host only asks the same questions over and over, you’re gonna get the same answer. How many different ways can you answer the same questions.

    Quite honestly, she’s a little less guarded here than she has been in recent years. She put Jay in his place when he told her she was being polite and she didn’t give a politically correct answer regarding her niece, Paris, getting into acting.

    Janet giggles a lot..she ALWAYS has. It’s even in her music. She’s not gonna be a different person. Get the point…good, let’s dance!

    She looks good though! However, she really needs to hit the studio. I am getting tired of the weight loss stuff.

  4. KELIS January 10, 2012

  6. Acts Of Faith January 10, 2012

    I know people are entitled to their opinion but DAM!! I’m pretty sure she doesn’t care what you think. Would you say this to her face if you were to meet her? While you’re sitting behind your computer writing this post, she’s living her life. Speak highly of everyone or say nothing at all

  7. Moe January 10, 2012

  8. Edgy_Timeless January 10, 2012

    Damn, she looks so f****** good. omg! She been slaying the girls 2day with no effort. Janet is good. She got her plate in history. The girls today still trying to get where shes at. Pop Queen to its finest. Let her take her time creating this upcoming masterpiece. The real Janet always take large gaps to come out with a album. Its called growth. Im not going to say who needs it, but im pretty much think you guys know who In talking about.

  9. TWITTER.COM/ESSENCE_OF_SEAN January 10, 2012

    UMMM THIS IS 2012! NOT 1993!

    WHY WOULD JANET ACT LIKE THE JANET FROM 1993 WHEN SHE WAS 27 ? MAKES NO SENSE! SHE IS 45 AND LOOKS FABULOUS!

    SHE WILL GET BACK IN THE STUDIO WHEN SHE IS READY!

  10. SHESDUMB: CONGRATS 2 BEY&JAY January 10, 2012

    TGF STAY TRYING TO TRY JANET AND HER FANS, BUT WE KNOW THE TRUTH!

    JANET HAS CONTROL OVER WHAT SHE SAYS AND WHAT SHE DOES, AND SHE IS A LEGEND THAT YOU NEED TO RESPECT!!!!!!!!

  11. BrutallyHonest January 10, 2012

  12. Popeater January 10, 2012

    Janet looks incredible. That is all!

  13. Nia January 10, 2012

    Yeeeees @B Lamont! I loveyour comment and I was so ready to hear the beat to Miss You Much when I read those last two lines lol :-). I stayed up to watch the interview last night and I loved every minute of it although, Jay Leno seemed to be jumping around with the topics. How do we go from Nutri System to the cover of the janet album? Lol whatever I still enjoyed it and as usual, Janet looks FAB! That dress is too cute and Im happy her hair has grown out again :-)! You rock J and I’m more than ready to hear some new music singles!!!

  14. Spunkypoop January 10, 2012

    Im Janet’s #1 Stan/Fan and I must admit Sam you are RIGHT.

  15. ashgino January 10, 2012

    Jay Leno tried Janet a couple of times, First when he told her she was being really nice and in other words not real. Then he said in Hollywood, there bodies are perfect but their personal lives are screwed up. And then when she mentioned her personal trainer, she cut straight to his name. Jay Leno was challenging her big time, but Janet kept in business, and delightful only as she can! I just don’t think she sold Jay Leno on the nutrisystem idea.

  16. Keith January 10, 2012

    Being a grown ass woman is ALL that’s needed…no shade, no bad words, no tricking for attention necessary. GO Janet!

  17. Onyx January 10, 2012

    She looks lovely, i don’t think she has to talk always about her sales tour or Music just because she is a singer, she is promoting other things, let the girl alone, she is a wonderful woman.

    SAM—-Where’s the gutsy Janet of 93 who’d put Madonna in her place.

    Janet has never being rude with anybody, specially with Madonna, Madonna has always being the most stronger and arrogant B**** in the game, nobody can put her down, janet has a delicate and sophisticated personality, i know she is a strong woman but in front of Madonna’s personality she is weak. Nobody has ever put Madonna in her Place not even when she deserve, some have tried. but failed in the attempt, Mariah, Elton, Cindy, ect…just to name a few.

  18. bpleasebelieve January 10, 2012

    JANET IS THE ONE AND WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!!!! NOT MANY CAN SAY THAT…BLOGS COME AND GO! SHE DOES NOT LOOK HER AGE AT ALL BEAUTY…jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEttttttttttttTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  19. Bey Fan… January 10, 2012

    Every time Janet talks, I smile. She’s so freaking sweet. Im one of the biggest Beyonce fans….but Bey and I both know that with Miss jackson, there would be not Bey.

    Janet, too me, has always been guarded and private. And I don’t blame her. She puts her heart and her soul on that stage. I not a fan of her voice, but when it comes to performance and dance…..she’s the best.

    And every time I think about the Superbowl incident, I get pissed. I can’t believe she experienced that much backlash…smh. But let me not get started .

    I don’t know what’s going on with all the celebs doing these weight and health commercials… but if this get Americans to be more more healthy, kudos to them.

  20. Jessica January 10, 2012

    That is my girl!!! She looked amazing even more when I saw her last year at The Number One’s tour in Toronto, but Jay is a horrible interviewer!!! He kept asking about her weight issue, not even ” Are you dropping a new album soon?” “Are you doing more movies?” You know proper questions, but besides that she looked really good!! Haters stay mad- that is real talent right there!!!

  21. Yo MAMA January 10, 2012

    SAM IS RIGHT. JANET HAS BECOME A BORE WITH LOW MUFFLED GIGGLY GIRLY VOICE AND SPEAKING IN GENERALITIES. YAAWWWN!!!!! NEXT, HER CAREER IS BASICALLY DONE EXCEPT FOR TOURING.

  22. B Lamont January 10, 2012

    @ONYX…Janet did have some words for Madonna back in the day:

    There was an interview with MTV where she said that she felt that her music style had more class than Madonna’s and in the Vibe magazine where she has the You Want This outfit on the cover, she was asked about Madonna and her response was that her mother told her if she didn’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.

    But all of that was around the time Madonna was being a B***H to Michael and we all know Janet don’t play when it comes to takin pot shots at him.

  23. JERMAINE January 10, 2012

    @ONYX

    MADONNA IS A PUNK ASS B**** AND YES JANET DID CUSS HER OLD< WRINKLED <WHITE ASS OUT IN 93'. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. MADONNA IS ACTUALLY A SCARY B****.

  24. Onyx January 10, 2012

    @B Lamont
    @JERMAINE
    I know all that but you know Madonna is a real bad B****.

  25. JJFAN1814 January 10, 2012

    WHAT A WONDERFUL INTERVIEW OF THE QUEEEEEEN!

  26. UH OH January 10, 2012

    Madonna was successfully put in her place by Michael (who called her a “nasty witch” , said she “was not a lady” , “not s***” & named his albino python after her)

    Despite all of this and the s*** she said about him (calling him a ‘space alien drag queen’ calling him ‘gay” – saying she wanted to give him a makeover) , she still defended him in ’03 and planned to perform with him at the 02 before his passing.

    She also did that self-centered speech in his honor at the 2009 MTV Awards

    In conclusion, Madonna and Mike had their differences but they worked past them

    If Madonna was hurt by anyone’s words, it was definitely his (and Sean Penn’s)

  27. onyx January 10, 2012

    @UH OH
    I agree with U, Sean Pean really hurt her but just because she love him.
