Janet Jackson is 49 and fabulous!
The iconic Pop diva celebrated her birthday last night in Los Angeles with a close circle of friends.
Jackson, who announced a new album and world tour in the early hours of the day, was also joined by dancers (or The Kids as she cutely christens them) from her previous “eras.”

Janet is a Muslim. Why cant she just open about it?
She will be celebrating her flop comeback soon… 🙁
Your point being? You pressedt ass b*tches need to exit stage left!
Ms Janet is an inspiration to your faves, is still making bank and is married to a billionaire. Your life goals TBH!
Comeback and thru Janet!
Yasss queen

22,000 isn’t hard to outsell tho…
she’s such a natural beauty!
Love her she’s made my week! And she’s beautiful!
I love your Gravatar! Cece Winans is my favorite gospel artist ever!
Biitch
Go chase Lil’ Minghella in a Chinese buffet and stfu.
The queen’s back. Yassssss. The HÎV/AÎDS must be seething. They also hate JLo. They refuse to acknowledge that Joe Camel’s wife has has role models and superiors.
What’s there not to love?What?
… Not one single thing!
EXACTLY!!!!!!
IKR!!!
Awwwwwwww Janet! She looks so lovely! What a presence she has! I’ve been waiting for your return Empress! The stars have aligned! #ComeBackToMe #LoveWillNeverDoWithoutYou 🙂 #JJForever!
Hey JANET!!!!!!!
Words cannot describe how excited I am! 😀
Slay with everything you’ve got! #PleaseAndThankYou
She’s about to end Bey and Taylors career, respectfully!
I’m no Taylor fan but nobody is ending her career. She got those teeny white girls eating out of the palm of her hand.
lol are we gonna act like 20 Y.O, Damita Jo and Discipline didn’t flop?…lmfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao
They didnt and yo mom a ho
She will flop….with her new album.
You prejudice or something??? How can you tell by looking at her?
Giving out free cement so our favs can cement their wigs….Mzz Jackson if ya nasty.
LB you can’t keep a pimp let along a boyfriend or job.if bey is a so called that who kept a man for nearly a decade what are you
Happy late BDay Janet. She looks cute but I wanna see her body. She’s always covered up in big black clothing. Need to know what she’s going to be giving on stage????
Everyone doesn’t have to be a naked whoooooreee like your fave
I didn’t day she had to be naked b****. I’m sure she won’t be dressed like a Muslim saint on stage.
She is married, not every married woman thots out like a certain someone.
Thots out? That certain someone is faithfully married and an entertainer. At least she is posting pusssy shots on IG and getting banned. Stfu
*isn’t
Well, maybe that married woman can learn something about modesty from Janet, her thotivities are nauseating.
stfu hypocrite. You are a fan of one of the biggest industry thots EVER! She is also a crackead that can’t keep a man due to her thottish ways. SHE could learn a lot from Janet and also how to put on a great live show????
Wow! you and your understudy, Centurion, really want the Hive to have beef with Janet huh?
Well, modesty and Rihanna/Madonna are an oxymoron. So you should be the last one trying to call anyone a thot…because you stan for two of them
????????@ Tyler. Loose Bottom is a mess!!
And you stan for a woman who is on the brink of a midlife crisis, setting a good example for her daughter by spreading her c****** at award shows and showing up practically naked on the red carpet.
And you should be the last one calling anyone a thot considering your fav is thotting it up everywhere, embracing her inner thot I see.
How are you going to come for Beyonce, in a Janet post, when you stan for the likes of Rihanna and Madonna….two self proclaimed Thots/Thugs.What type of foolishness??? lolol
How did I come for Beyonce, I didn’t mention any names did I. The guilt

http://magazine.cultcosmetics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ClaireNailFile.gif
LoveBird, please remove the tin foil hat sir! You’ve repeatedly called Beyonce a thot. We had this exact same conversation a few days ago. So bye!
Still confused as to how you can pass judgment on anyone elses fave when you stan for this type of thuggery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYlN0z97lHY
What thuggery, I’ve called many people thots, you’re the one who assumed lol, do you agree with me that for a mother, married with a daughter, it is inappropriate to display that filth, parading around like a cheap street hooker? I mean why else would you assume I’m talking about Beyonce when not a single name was mentioned? LMAO
‘
Plus that video is inconclusive, if you knew anything about how evidence is adjudicated, you would know that the video is just girls dancing and one seated, unless that’s the thuggery you’re referring to. Oh wait, I forgot I’m talking to a Beyonce fan, please let me know how far I should dumb down my comments for you.
I doubt she’s a Muslim. But everyone wants to make stupid and pointless rumors about her without Janet’s valid admission.
Yaaaassss!!! B!tches I live.
She;s sooo beautiful!
I haven’t been this excited since The PinkPrint.
What about when your 59 customers leave you $500 on the dresser
honey i know u were floored when the printshit flopped. Kii!!
That signature megawatt smile is EVERYTHING!
She is such a lucky gal.I wish I could cuff me a husband 🙁
I’m gonna have to change my avi for the first time in several months (Prince is still my #1) but the excitement i’m having for new Janet material cannot be contained
I like your Prince avi (I can always tell it’s yours when I have to scan through comments quickly), but JJ’s return is an excellent reason to switch Dos! 🙂
I think my avi department needed a bit of change 😀 …My females need some love too
Chile, Janet can keep looking cute and bubbly by hiding under her usual smiles, but I know Mama Janet very well. She is about to unleash a whirlwind of musical slayage on these new generation h*** and they have no idea how much they’re not ready for it. When she’s done, shell sit back, laugh, and get her redemption Superbowl performance. The Queen is back! Make way for the queen!
Im ready for a new Beyonce album if anything.
Hey girl hey!
Hey boo im so ready for it!!!!!!
Yeeesss!!!!
Me too!!! We should be getting it real soon.
If so that would be great! I just hope she doesn’t release it on Tidal or anything.
I know she needs to release it to iTunes and slay these b****** once again
It’s only been a year and a half. Don’t y’all know what an era is? Oh that’s right, unimportant albums don’t really have them.
Excuse me?
We are talking about Beyonce…not Rihanna’s conveyer belt like eras.

“She is married, not every married woman thots out like a certain someone.”
All of the flavors in the world, you choose to be salty SMDH.
You’re obviously just mad because Rihanna is the one thotting around, doing lines of cocaine with the homies, and banging every light skinned m********* in the music industry. Sit down.
LMFAO clock Thothanna… the navy needs to stfu.
She looks happy.
You’re getting a copy of her new album, and you’ll love it 🙂
Haha….I’m going to buy the album anyway, i own all of her albums, hope this one it’s worth the wait.
Nice, can’t wait to talk about it with you 🙂
It’s going to be interesting, Janet fans need to show her how much they miss her.
Did someone say naked?

Never thought it would happen that Kim Kardashian is much more dressed than Beyonce, what is going on in your household Jay Z? Beyonce has been trying to be risky and cool lately and it’s just not working. When Beyonce out-thots Miley, I cannot.
I never understand why every comments section on here has to turn into a stan war. Do you know who I LOVE?! The Queen (JANET!) And guess who else I love. BEYONCE. And you know who else is a stunning goddess of perfection? BRANDY! Oh, and you know who else I play on repeat EVERY DAY? TINASHE! And yes, the ultimate goddess is DAWN RICHARD. And I can get down to CIARA, I am all for RIHANNA’S new era, I can’t wait for MONICA’S new album. Oh yeah, and KELLY ROWLAND, and FANTASIA, and JHENE AIKO. How about JILL SCOTT, LEDISI, KELLY PRICE, MARSHA AMBROSIUS, ESTELLE, TAMIA. I will live and die a stan for AALIYAH, TLC, SWV. I can honestly, truthfully say that I adore all of these women (and more I forgot to name) and will follow their careers until they aren’t releasing music anymore. And you know the last thing I care about? How many GOD DAMN RECORDS they sell. What I do care about is them, their passion, their souls, their MUSIC, the way they speak to me, the way they make me dance, make me cry, make my spine tingle, give me chills. Support the women (and men) you like, and don’t waste your time with the rest.

Ok, I’m tired… This doesn’t include her features singles too. Which she scored multiple top 5 hits. Janet had a great run tbh…
Good for her but do you think she can get a top 10 this upcoming era?
Good question boo… Umm, no. But, if she comes out with someone undeniable then YES. But, ONLY IF ITS UNDENIABLE. Something like “All For You” or “Together Again”…
Ci error is a poor mans Janet!!????
I wouldn’t be throwing around the poor word if I was you seeing as tho your fave almost went bankrupt 4 years into her career.
But isn’t cierror filing for bankrupty after this flop album or is her chitlin circuit tour enough to cover the rent?
It’s enough to buy all yal’s life @TheGreatLacefront
@LovelyBird, hey boo I gotta question for you.
Remember, when you use to bash MC about only having #1’s in the USA… And, Tommy paid for all her #1’s & that if you compared her #1’s/Top 10 singles with Madonna’s… It shows that Madonna had “real” hits because they were GLOBAL. What do you have to say about Janet Jackson’s #1’s/top 10 singles? Her stuff did worse than Mariah’s on a global basis. Does that mean she was using payola (or should I say her record company) to manipulate her “Non-global hits” too? The same can be said about many R&B fused with Pop acts. Their stuff NEVER really did well on a global basis. Only, when they sold out to white washed power-ballads or white washed EDM songs.
Lol LineBacker doesn’t know what hes talking about half the time his drags are more fickle than Rihannas changing personas. This is the same person who used to stan down for Katy Perry.
LoveBird has always thrown underhanded shade at Janet. She only “stans” for her when its convenient.

Janet Jackson may have had her most iconic era after 4 albums but Ray of Light > anything Janet Jackson has ever and will ever release.
In fact in the whole 90s era, there’s not a single album that comes close to Madonna’s Ray of light in terms of quality, production and impact. This is why Janet, despite having more talent than Madonna lost to her and is also why Beyonce will lose to Rihanna.
As Rated R proved, when it comes to a quality project, Rihanna shits on Beyonce any day and Rihanna’s Ray of light is coming, I cannot wait for it.
Reply
Death at the last sentence.
I’ve never known anyone so fickle and fake in my life!!!????????????????????
Love Janet!!

Thank god Lovebird is still here, otherwise TGJ will be….
Aren’t you a white supremacist?

Who said that?…No, i’m not, lmao.
Ok lol
DEADT!!! Call it what it is! He missed out HoneyChildPlease LOL! that looney tune was on his wavelength
kisses, glad you’re still here too.
😀
LMAO the hive’s obsession is creepy, these people need oh I don’t know, something productive to do.
‘
Now before I answer Stephy’s question, I have never kept it a secret that I think MADONNA’S RAY OF LIGHT album is by far one of the greatest pieces of music to ever hit the industry. The album is so good it should be considered as a blueprint as to what level of quality an artist should aspire to create at least once in their career.
‘
Now to answer the question,
@Stephy
‘
Janet Jackson did have global hits, sure they may not have been as huge as Madonna but they were still global. Janet Jackson was Madonna’s competition when it came to tours for a while, she could not have achieved that if people didn’t know her music, plus her amazing talent.
‘
On whether Janet was using payola, I highly doubt it. Janet Jackson made pop music, sure she had some RnB hits but those were of a lighter nature with pop undertones than her peers who dominated in the genre.
Janet Jackson is just so slayful???????? I just cant????????????????????????
“LMAO the hive’s obsession is creepy, these people need oh I don’t know, something productive to do.”
No, the Hive was minding its own business before you started trying to instigate s***.

She is married, not every married woman thots out like a certain someone.
When will these people learn? They’re always the first to cast the stone and then when they get battered in return we’re suddenly ‘obsessed’
Ikr!
What part of the motto, “Dont start no s***, wont be no s***”…do they not understand??? lmao
She looks great. I’m definitely excited she’s back.
I do love Janet but she is not that huge outside of the US, I will give her credit and say she has great music and I prefer her to Grandonna but people reach in here. Whitney, Mariah, Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna and Gaga are all bigger pop icons than her outside of the US. This is coming from someone not from America.
Bull s*** the lies you do tell.
I sadly, agree. I was shocked to see how “local” (I hate that word) she was.
What country are you from because Janet’s huge overseas let me name a few Europe,Asia,Japan,Australia
Africa Virgin Islands,Middle East Etc. So what’s your point because she’s just as big if not bigger overseas as she is the United States so that my dear makes her a Global Icon Janet’s definitely nobody’s Local Artists and since you’ve mentioned Lady Gaga,Beyonce,Rhianna,Madonna & Whitney Janet is just as big as them,and bigger than Rhianna,Beyonce,and Lady Gaga and standing neck and neck with Madonna,Whitney and Mariah so there I rest my case.
I am British. I never said shes not an icon but shes not that big and impacful internationally as people make out darling, she just isnt. And yes Rihanna, Beyonce and Gaga are all more prominent pop icons than her overseas. I love Janet but it is what it is.
Wow, please escort yourself from this site cuz you do not know your music history patna. Smh.
I know my history. And I know Janet the apparent huge pop force has never had a #1 where I am from.
WTF.. were u born after 2001 or something.. The Queen got some of u guys talking dripalish. Janet is a WW icon. She may not be as big as Madonna and MJ WW but she’s there on top of the list. North America and Japan are Janet’s biggest markets. Europe is 3rd. She have had numerous top hits in Europe. She have sold out stadiums and arenas in europe during her prime. Janet is known WW. Stop being pressed.
Thank You you better tell that I was born after the year 2002 child. Get @Rachel together @Greg N Greed and @Lake Erie.
No I was born in 1989. Lol. That’s cute and all, the still doesn’t change what I said. No where did I use the word ‘local’ Or that she’s not an icon but she is still not that big of a force compared to other females even younger than her let alone her contemporaries. I’m sorry, the stats speak for themselves. She has never had a chart topping song in the UK for example. She’s more known for being MJs sister who also makes music in many places.
@Rachel STFU you don’t know what you’re talking about and yes she is a global icon and what your saying is just as bad as saying she’s local. I swear Janet announces her comeback and all hell breaks loose haters can’t stand for the women to succeed and b**** your stats that your ass state are complete bull s*** for one thing, I mean you said you were British so the music over there in your United Kingdom is complete bull s*** you know by that much.
You can’t deny the facts! And I said I loved Janets music so trying to insult my music taste and where Im from is completley irrelevant. Lol stop getting mad and deal with it! Janets still a legend. Shes just comsiderably bigger in the US than she is internationally.
No ones mad but she’s been still known internationally as well as American so there you may have your view on Janet and I and her true fans have there’s I’m done.
What have you done for us lately Janet??? NOTHING.
Bring us some new material lol
Tyler don’t worry, I’ll keep on posting more comments so you can continue studying them like you are doing. At least I’ve got you reading, well, something.
Hahaha you’re obviously all caught up in your feelings because I still have my edges and you don’t.
Yeah, keep on posting. So I can continue to peel your hairline back 10 generations.
She looks gorgeous and younger than Most! We are ready for u too slayyyyyyyyyy Queen Janet!
Awe. She’s so adorable. I can’t wait until the new music comes out.
Yea, i can’t wait!! So glad I heard it from her lips! #JJ
The fact that she looks younger and better than most 30 year olds. Her and J.lo are the only ones in music that makes 40s look good. Others are older than music itself and come keep trying to squeeze into dresses that are 20 sizes too small and 20 years too young. Living in a Fantasy world.
Lmao.
Why is she wearing a cap and a scarf in LA in May? But seriously, she canNOT fail. Janet is an icon, and her last couple of albums did not match the numbers she did at the height of her career. Plus, she’s nearly 50. Janet is no longer in “It-girl” territory; she’s in legend territory. Considering these factors, whatever she sells will be good, and I also think her numbers will be surprisingly robust as longtime fans reconnect with her.
Janet’s not doing this to be “that girl”. She just doing this for us fans and for the love of music.
I just hope JD isn’t involved to mess it up like the last 3 albums (fingers crossed,
Oh QUEEN Janet how I love thee too bad she don’t even know these ugly ass booty face h*** that talk s*** about her and if she did she would only know you as the server or cashier at your local fast food restaurant oh but the QUEEN don’t eat cheap food lol yall hatin h*** betta step ya rotten botched p**** up b4 you come for the QUEEN!
She look nice
