On the eve of her 49th birthday, pop diva Janet Jackson delivered a bombshell of a gift to her fans: official word that she is hard at work on her 11th studio album.
Hear it “from her lips” below:
JanFans rejoice!
After weeks of speculation (as reported here), fans were sent into a frenzy earlier today when news spread the diva had unveiled an official Instagram page. This, after the cryptic #ConversationsInACafe hashtag found itself on her and longtime producer buddies Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ Twitter pages multiple times over the past few weeks.
Now, the rumor mill can rest as we have the word from the pop legend herself. Here’s hoping her return is accompanied by a full on promotional onslaught leading up to her highly anticipated return to the world stage!
Queen Janet is Back to teach the lessors a LESSON … YASSSS
She will flop because she will get no radio support in the US just like Mariah, Madonna, Celine, Jlo and others. Good luck.
She should do duet with Monique and end up at the McD’s car park like her last tour….
🙁
You’re a disgusting excuse for a human being. Does everything have to be about flopping? The woman hasn’t even released the album and your ignorant self is already making judgement. Just buy the album, only then can you determine whether it’s a flop or not
Sad but true. Radio completely ignore artists over 40-45
She didn’t have to fall off the stage nor to kiss Drake to trend a half hour. She was trending 7 hours on Twitter worldwide only because of this. The world is ready for Janet. She won’t flop.
Janet is not global. She will end up at amphitheaters. Fasten your seat-belt and enjoy the expected…F L O P !
😀 😀 😀
Janet hasn’t been successful since 03 & been away for 7 years. Good luck with that. Plus, radio programmers in the US wont support artists who are in their 40s. Unless she makes a duet with Ariana or Nicki.
Madonna kissed Drake is nothing.
People can’t forgive and forget how desperate and rachet Janet was at the SuperBowl. Even Oprah is not buying it; that wasn’t a wardrobe malfunction.
Yes, she will flop. 🙁
Proud to know the newly converted Islam sister…Janet Abdullah Jackson…….. is making a comeback!!!
She should replace Mariah in Vegas. At least her voice is not cracking and screeching.
Queen of Just 3 Octave Voice… is comming!!!
😆
Vegas should approach Janet instead of Mariah.
At least Janet is more entertaining. Mariah can’t sing and dance. I hope Janet is heading that way. Good luck.
I hope Janet 1st new single won’t be like American Oxygen or BBHMM 🙁
Mariah’s vocals on her worst day still destroy Rihanna’s vocals on her best. Plus I think 18 #1s clearly trumps 13
The World Tour is a way better than Vegas 🙂
OMG – Janet!! A new album. It’s been too long.
Queen of amphitheaters….. 🙁
I predict a flop. Janet can’t sell tickets or singles anymore. Her n****** are too sensitive for Americans.
Proud to know the newly converted Islam sister…Janet Abdullah Jackson…….. is making a comeback!!!
MOTHA!
a flop waiting to happen.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Just like Mariah with Jermain Dupri. They are all washed-up producers.
Good luck Janet, sis.
American Oxygen #97 on Billboard Hot 100. Pray for R8….
Your fav is already flopping,when Janet was her age she was breaking records that still stand today. Your fav is a bad and tacky Janet clone with a mono tone voice. Janet is a legend, show some respect and have several seats.
Who doesn’t flop nowadays? Swift and that’s it. It’s almost impossible to sell records, but I smell a really good artistic timeless album. That’s more important than commercial success. So stop being obsessed.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are washed up, Diplo and Avicii aren’t and they did nothing for Madonna. But for your information, Janet worked with many producers, not only Jimmy and Terry.
Good luck to…grandma.
hahahahaha
Proud to know the newly converted Islam sister…Janet Abdullah Jackson…….. is making a comeback!!!
Has Tinashe found her neck or album certification?
@James clearly you’re looking for a stan war battle. I called Janet “MOTHA” meaning she is the one that started it for all the female singers/dancers. Take your meds before replying to me.
GrandMOTHA named …….Janet !!!????
😆
I wish her the best of luck. Maybe a duet with Rihanna ?
Simmer down.
Nooo…do not dilute your legacy by doing that with an overrated goat, Janet.
This is Janet, not Madonna. Janet is not working with anyone for attention.
Janet desperately flashed her n****** at the Superbowl that sent her straight to a Flopville.
Yeah right!
🙁
GOD IS GOOD! THE QUEEN OF POP IS BACK. THE LEGEND, THE LEADER, THE INNOVATOR HERSELF!!!!
I’m alive again!
ME TOO, I HAVE BEEN REVIVED SINCE MOTHERS RESSURRECTION!
???????????????? Yasss me too! It brought me right back to life after that horrible Ciara news! ???? BYE Ciara
JANET- RESSURRECTION…FROM THE COFFIN THEN WILL RETURN AFTER 1 YEAR…K BYEEEE!!!
Yes Motherrrrr
Janet is a has-been. I think she should do Vegas for a year.
If she’s a has-been, what does that make your mother?
Why Vegas when her last 2011 tour grossed more than all Kanye West tours together?
I knew it!!!!! Come through Janet! … She’s ready!
You called it babe! I’m just so glad you were right! Lol! 🙂
Yes love, we are getting an …
Album & Tour !!!
I couldn’t be having a better morning right now! 🙂
We are waitinggggggg!!!!
I’m bout to pass out. Let me go perm my edges!!!
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
Janet is about to destroy Beyawnce’s career!
nooooo…..she wont. she will end up doing talk-shows.
or just like sh!tney destroyed pigtina’s career?
LMAO I know right, that is what you call karma. That joint album is never coming out, Beyonce is waiting for direction from R8.
how when R8s direction is more lost than a broken gps sis?
OH MY GOD
Nahhh, Janet won’t destroy Rih or Bey’s career. She is so 20 years ago.
You are delusional. Rihanna wishes she could be Janet. Rihanna is already flopping. Janet is a legend and doesn’t have to prove anything and people are still checking for her. Your fav srans for my fav. Enough said!
Janet is forever. Rihanna and Beyonce are only one moment.
Beyonce’s moment has lasted nearly 20 years tho…
Forever? Are you on meth?? Can’t even remember when Janet last hit #1.
1974???
🙁
YES the rightful QUEEN of pop is coming. You know the one that can dance and sing.
Queen of lower register is back…. 🙁
Floppppppp !!!
I’d Say the bigger flop is your mother, she insisted on being used like a public urinal and let anyone c** inside her, now we are stuck with you annoying thing.
I like Mariah… But do yourself and favor and not discuss flops right about now… She’s a legend in her own right so I won’t come for her because of the actions of a llama
P.S these adverts are REALLY annoying, especially when you have to go off page to see some stupid games that you would never want/buy. Took me three attempyts to read this post.
TGJ please stop the ads that take you off page!.
Oh…ok.
I Have not stopped smiling for the last hour, this is the best news EVER!!!! Im going out tonight gonna have my own personal Janet celebration! Happy Birthday Janet!!!!!
whatever…she is too old for this. maybe she should join mariah in vegas.
Gurl sit in yo cubicle wit yo phone hiding to type under that desk and seeeeeethe
Just like Janet hides her news that converting to Islam… 🙁
Yes muva!!!!!!!! Queen Of Pop !!! Shut it down ! My body is ready
is tha right? oh well…hope it will not end up like infinity…hahahahaah on the charts. LOL
or like how artpop and cheek to cheek did on the charts 🙂
You got some nerve considering Janet’s last album sold more than ArtFlop and she is in her 40’s. When Janet was Gaga’s age her albums were selling 20 million copies. Have a seat!
Love Miss Jackson. I would definitely pay to see her. And, I hope the new album is good. Good Luck Janet!
Yaaas b****!!! Come thru
*soft clap*
She will end up singing at Wendy;s show or Good Morning America. 🙁
what a new way to announce this. Ive had shortness of breath for 30 mins for real im tripping out #anewmovement janet i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
THE FUCKKING QUEENZ RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Queen NOT Queenz.
It’s only one person. Simmer down.
Whats a Tinashe?
Who are you?
I wasn’t reaponding to you btw. I was responding to that annoying Rihanna fan.
^????????????
I think you should of just said what’s a Ciara, seeing that it has FLOPPED again after how many years? Let’s talk about that #19KSquad LMFAO!
She will flop…her fans have long gone.
This doesn’t look good.
WHERE YO FANS HO?! Somewhere bussin yo momma open and tiiiitty screwin yo daddy
I’m ready for The Queen. And those few navy and hive members that are in here now, go ahead and have that seat. Because your two faves have been going for 10-15 years and their careers still haven’t accomplished half of what Janet’s has. Even Britney ended up in Vegas before Janet, and she outsold both of those girls combined, so what does that say about your faves.
Stop trying to provok the Hive by attacking Bey it won’t work our fave love and respect Janet so do we goodnight
I love Janet, she is the queen but my fav has created a lane of herself. The hive are calling her a flop because they are comparing her to a standard she set for herself, by herself.
‘
My fav is also quoted among legends.
The Hive are calling her a flop? *scrolls through comments*
Where????
*plays the velvet rope album*
JANET!!!! I adore Janet! I saw her on her Velvet Rope Tour, Rock Witchu, & her Number One’s in 2011! All great concerts. Velvet Rope is one of my favorite Janet cd’s, Rock Witchu was my favorite of her tours! Janet does not have to make music OR tour, Janet is doing this for US FANS! I CANT WAIT 4 THIS TOUR!! Those who criticise, take your ass’s somewhere else! WTH signs up to a website to diss people they don’t like?! SOME OF YA’LL LOOKIN ASS’S!! Janet the legend & icon IS going to demolish!
Of course Beyonce and Rihanna gets brought up even though this is a Janet post, anyways Janet is the blu print for females like Rihanna and Beyonce, Tinashe and Ciara, w/o Janet those four probably wouldn’t be here. Can’t wait though, I had feeling she was making her return to music, and yes b****** Janet IS THE QUEEN OF POP.
Cannot wait, Mzz Jackson if ya nasty.
‘
LMAO at the final nail in Beyonce’s career. I think this is what they call, karma.
Rashad, I love you but you better pay homage to King David, he had the tea before all of y’all. David always has the tea.
It’s been a great week for music news, first Toni, and now Janet, definitely excited and looking forward.
And suddenly, Nothing else in the world matters.
–
I have been waiting for her return for so long. A new movement is finally upon us, Going to change the world with this one!

#JanetsReturn
Dead that you changed yo pic from Ciara to Janet. Poor Ci, she has no loyal fans. As soon as something more new and exciting comes along they abandoned her.
Lmao! I noticed that too. But her name hasn’t changed though. Still FutureCIARA. So she still loyal.
Lol, I chuckled so hard when I seen that!! ???????? like damn you could at least wait still she start promo or better yet release the new music.
Lol right.
Ciara knows the T, Its no shade towards her. I will always support CIARA.
Janet Is QUEEN though, And we both recognize that! Ci is not delusional…

JANET!!! The haters know EXACTLY who it is without even needing the last name… UNLIKE HER LESSORS, she has given the masses time to miss her. She is an ICON… She’s not one of those “hot for a sec” artists that drop an album, disappear, then come back thinking they can pick up where they left off… JANET has been in this industry for YEAAAAARS and she is MISSED. She isn’t trying to bring out an album every year, or pop up every other year with music at this point bc she isn’t desperate to stay relevant like your favs… HELL SHE MOTHERED YOUR FAVS AND SHE IS WHAT THEY ASPIRE TO BE… Chk the resume and the performers and entertainers that mention her as inspiration… She doesn’t need to prove one damn thing but I am HERE FOR THE TRUE QUEEN OF POP to come back and SLAY!!! SHOW THEM HOW TO REEEEEALLY BUILD A BUZZ AND ROCK A COMEBACK MUTHA JANET!!!! Fetch ain’t happening, but JANET IS!!!!! This tour… I don’t give a damn what it costs… I… AM…. THERE!!!! To the girls that need to cancel your Tidal membership after the free trial period in order to make it there, WERK BISHHHHES

Speak for your own fave, not Beyonce.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLd1JqTqpCc
But my fav sings live
https://youtu.be/rLHpoutotro
But your faves sounds like this the general majority of the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWX7Mu306kQ
Oh another live performance
https://youtu.be/Palw244GuL4
And like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwuUBKecQio
And this…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1-l_PVKYso
But your fav couldn’t even sing live at the Grammy’s
https://youtu.be/HjeAJAAwvkw
Speaking of live performances, Rihanna is arguably the worst “live” performer in music today.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ocSmkSiF3MA/mqdefault.jpg
Was she high here lol????
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH9G3p9WxJE
How long has she been deceiving you guys?
https://youtu.be/mvNv2iVe57s
Oh the irony! Rihannas voice still coming from the speakers and no mic to mouth or lips moving, while she punched her fan in the face with a microphone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVOBnyo9laU
The kiiiii is your fav couldn’t even sing live at the President’s inauguration….drops mic
https://youtu.be/qGDH18R7GfA
Its completely understandable. The Anthem is very vocally challenging.
Whats Rihanna’s excuse for consistently sounding like a bag of cats……
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3N8Kw2FAXU
Ooohh Kill Em’ Janet!
Everyones screaming and hollering now but when the single and album drops y’all ain’t support s***! Feedback was a great lead single but only reached 19 on the Billboard 100, charted lol everywhere else and the album only went gold in Japan. Though I’m really pumped, Janet and Britney are my only Queens of Pop!
Who in their right mind would put Rihanna up against Beyonce in a performance battle??? LOL. Rihanna wouldnt even do that to her self.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp6OvXjl0r4
I think she should do a Madonna on the lead single and get younger artists to feature. I’m also here for her doing the Super Bowl again to promote the new music.
Label better not f*** up, promotion best be on point!
She is American, has been singing this for years, it was the President’s inauguration and Kelly Clarkson sang live that night.
https://youtu.be/qGDH18R7GfA
DEAD @ U still trying to discredit Beyonce. B**** go witness that ‘rihanna “sings” hero’ vid. That mess.. girl have some several seats. Your fave is not a singer. People worshipped her as a cute model with some cute hits. Sit your petty b*** down.
Anyway, I am Happy Janet is back. Laterz everybody.
Oh the irony! Rihannas voice still coming from the speakers and no mic to mouth or lips moving, while she punched her fan in the face with a microphone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVOBnyo9laU
Cant wait, for Janet’s new tour.
She set the blue print for the likes of Ciara, Britney, Tinashe, and of course my fave. Even then, the list goes on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcTFsdhUSBI
Yass! Tell that ish Tyler! I can’t wait till the tour stops in NYC!! She is a phenomenon!
Janet! What have you done for us lately??? lol. Bring on the slayage #Legend
You fans of other artist are so pathetic and pressed. First and foremost Janet is a pioneer in the industry, your favs had her on their bedroom walls growing up and they are all just generic, sad, watered down versions of her. Janet has accomplished more than most of your favs ever will. The fact that at her age people are still hyped for her and checking for her return speaks for itself.
Omg! The return of the Queen Of Pop! Now that J Lo, Mariah and MaDONEna are dried up and flops, Janet have been plotting a return! It’s going to be huge because we’re hungry, no, STARVING for music. Oh look how the tables have turned. No one is feeing Granny anymore, where all the Granny and MooMoo stans from 2008 at now? Hahahahahahahahahaha. JANET!
Janet was flopping in 2008, what makes you think she’ll suddenly sell when the current generation doesn’t even know who she is? Plus, why would you compare Janet to Mariah when one is a performer and one is a vocalist?
Ignore. Some ppl just want attention.
Janet, your fave’s FAVE! Or your fave’s competition. hahahahahahaha, when YOUR faves were little girls and boys (Usher, JT), THEY dreamed of being in HER world. You better replay the MTV Icon Special. Let’s play When Your Fave Made An Appearance…
I was JUST saying when i watched that poor J.Lo performance, i need Janet or a new chick that can KILL a stage dancing. These Britney, J.Lo, Ciara aren’t doing it. Beyonce kills a stage, but not in the dancing department. Janet the only dancer with a 20 plus career, the rest of the Paulas, Britneys and Ciara faded out before year 8.
I’m glad someone finally admitted on here that Beyonce really isn’t that strong of a dancer. Even though she tries to be.
Great entertainer, not the best dancer. I noticed 90% of it is hair whips and @ss shaking.
Lmao! I agree.
The QUEEN is coming!! I can’t wait for the slayage!
Yes Janet is coming back so excited faints need revival can’t wait the true Queen of Pop.
Man this post is messier than Career ender’s walls after having hardcore bàreback sęx anyways come thru Janet some new music would be refreshing right now since we not getting R8 anytime soon
Happy Birthday Empress Janet!!

#DaWaitIsOva
Heya guys please check out this new pop divas message board http://www.CaviarPop.ml It was opened yesterday and we’re looking for some members…everyone is welcome
YAAAAASSSSSSSS QUEEN JANET! COME TF THROUGH!
Am I the only one that’s gone act like Janet wasn’t performing at her best on her last tour, when she had Mindless Behavior as her opening act and had been down graded to doing amphitheaters. She to was hardly dancing anymore. Janet does have something to prove. That she can still perform!
Yea, there were critics that said that Janet your was great even though she didn’t dance as hard as she did back in the day. But she didn’t have nothing to prove back then. And still don’t. Like a fan on her said, she’s not doing this cuz she has too. She just doing this for us fans. But I know she’s bringing it though. She’s been resting. Well rested.
I am so excited!!!! Her last album was good!! I still play “Luv” today. Can not wait to get my hands on this album! I know it’s been so inspired from what she’s been experiencing the se past years. And I now with her living or being over seas, she’s been inspired by their music too. This album is def going to be a treat. She sat back and played the wife life, now she’s back to business. So excited to see her new look, style, material, everything fresh. She always brings everything new, fresh and funky.
#Janet!!!!!
True
I don’t believe that Janet was as in shape as she usually is during her tours.
I actually went to the last tour, and I could see it in her face how hard she was trying to keep up with her back up dancers. She’s 50+ years old though, so honestly, it’s understandable. Cher, Tina Turner, and etc all have said how difficult it was to perform at an older age.
Yea that’s true.. She was a lil bit heavier than normal on her last tour. I think sometimes we forget our stars are still people as well. Lol. We just want to see them slay!!
Lol! I agree with you both lol. But I think she bout to shock us yal lol. She been gone..i think she about to unleash some shitt! Lol. She bout to go down in history for someone her age still rocking OUT with the generation today. I’m too pumped! 🙂
WAHFHJHUIMNTDREWH NHIUYFRADFHFGU… What I really meant to type was YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
I am so excited!!!! Her last album was good!! I still play “Luv” today. Can not wait to get my hands on this album! I know it’s been so inspired from what she’s been experiencing the se past years.

#Janet!!!!!
Please come to my city Janet!!!!
YAYYYYYYY! Don’t stop it baby, Don’t stop tell you get enuf ah ah!
Complete kii if she does stadium dates for the tout and they all sell out. I would freaking die if she would be able to come back out of no where for so long and slay so hard like she picked up from the to be continued roadblock in her career. Her brother, the King of Pop, would ve so proud of his little sister. Also, kii if her album sells more than Madonna’s and of her tour grosses more. Madonna would seethe to death when her long time rival comes back to shake things up after getting bored from playing with her husbands billions. Lol!
…………Child, let me go find myself some extra strength super glue to keep me in my chair & to secure my wig cause honey MOTHER IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The calm before the storm has passed over & the storm is brewing up, honey!!! TAKE. MOTHER. F******. COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where do these trolls come from? Anyway, I’m happy she is actually returning. I can’t wait to see the first televised performance for this new Era. I really hope her label is behind her this time. I still think singles like Feedback, All Night, So Excited, and etc should have became number ones.
Girl it’s that pressed Madonna Stan, she’s mad that Jane’s comeback is causing more waves than that cardiac flop mess
Agreed! Discipline DEFINITELY should have been promoted harder… It gave me Vintage JANET with a modern twist… I still play Rockwitchu… UGHHHH I CANNOT WAIT AND I AM STANNIN DOOOOOOWN FOR JANET TO THE MASSES HUNNY!!! MAKE WAY FOR THE QUEEN!!!!
Yaas ! Queen of Pop Janet is coming ! I’m excited for this
Yaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssss!
*tears*
Its good to hear she is going to put out new music after all this time. Im excited to see what kind of music Janet is going to release on her new album and if it will be better than her past albums. You kids on here who have compared her to other artists should stop doing that. Janet is an icon and a legend.. she had her moment back then like Bey and Rihanna have been having their moment these 10+ years. They are all queens.. I also had to Lol when I came across a comment on Janets return being the nail closing shut Bey’s career. Thats a very false and ridiculous statement. Bey has created a lane for herself in the 17+ years of her music career.. no other queen or peasant can take over her castle and sit in her throne. And to be extra real here.. queen Bey has surpassed queen Janet in her music career.. but anyways Ill be looking out for Janet’s new album.
I have to disagree with you. But that’s my opinion to each is own.
Yup, to each it’s own but I honestly think a lot of people on here really don’t know Janet music? I don’t think they realize the tone “HER” career set? Lol. And it has yet to be duplicated or replicated. But like you said, to each it’s own.
Yup, I have to take @Shady81 stance on this and I disagree whole heartedly.
Has surpassed her on what planet? Certaintly not this one. Beyonce’s music is disposable. Janet’s is iconic, innovative and transcends generations. When Beyonce makes an album with the depth and impact of a Velvet Rope or Rhythm Nation come hollar at me.
And that’s what I totally disagreed with @checkyourself on Beyonce didn’t surpass Janet in anything, Janet’s music is iconic legendary, Janet has broken records with her music and also broke records with her groundbreaking music videos it’s because of Janet and let’s not forget her big bro Michael that Beyonce was inspired to do visual albums(Music Videos) and please don’t tell me it’s because Beyonce has 17 Grammys I’m just not here for that because both ladies come from different generations of music
Janet had heavy heavy competition that was considered very worthy Beyonce not so much, but both Women are in a league of there own a please don’t say or add well Beyonce has more Money than Janet. Well that’s not the case because Janet is a very private individual and she doesn’t flaunt her wealth like new money celebrities( you know the ones who constantly brag about what they have and how much they can show off.) Only thing we know about Janet’s wealth and what forbes has is her signing bonuses from Virgin Records where she once was the top diva and music seller for that label just like she was top diva at A&M Records. But in reality she actually possess much greater success then Beyonce and it all happen when she was in her early 20’s with the start of her third album Control and definitely her fourth with Rhythmn Nation where she created a movement. So both ladies have there own but Janet was the first to do what many in music try to do in today’s generation.
Bey hasn’t surpassed Janet, but I personally think she’s not so far beneath her as everyone makes it seem. Janet has so many significant records (Bey does as well).
– Janet has 6 #1 albums.
– Beyonce has 5 #1 albums.
*Both women hold the record for having 5 back to back.

This is just a little of what I can point out to show how much success both women garnered.
Also, for the record Bey has released albums within the same year as just about all her major competition (Britney – ’03/’08/’11, Pink – ’03/’06/’08, Gaga – ’08/’11/’13, Taylor – ’06/’08 to name a few).
We all know Janet was dropping albums with all the legends in her prime.
Both women are Queens! Dot. Period! It’s nothing to take away from either one.
Dont forget those Destiny Child receipt and add that to the equation!
@American Thotxygen
True, indeed! We all know Bey’s role in DC’s success! That will always be Bey’s to claim! I could go on and on with both ladies! Bey’s done ALOT since ’97! Janet’s work (although extraordinary) is still very under-certified. Regardless, I consider both women to be top 5 in the record books EASILY!
JANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t move. The best news ever!
Come and give us everything that we need Queen. I’m ready.
The QUEEN!
YaHsssss, the f****** Queen have arrived. Thank you Jesus. #ConversationsInACafe… follow the freakin movement. take this in lessors.
I AM IN A COMPLETE STATE OF EUPHORIA IN THE WAKE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT! I can’t wait to witness your artistry at an arena near me!! Before I conclude this, let me address the plethora of trolls in the comments section!!! I am so perplexed and vexed by all of the needless e-negativity! Does it make u feel better to type pejorative pontifications about an artist u don’t care for!! ME PERSONALLY, if I don’t like an artist, I avoid all things associated with him/her! It’s just that simple!!!

O Yeah! Happy Bday to the only Queen that matters for the last 30yrs. Janet f****** Jackson. YahSssss b**** Yahsssss
HELLO!!! HAPPY BDAY JANET!!! So beautiful and selfless… Gifting us with the news we’ve been waiting for on the eve of HER bday.. ENJOY YOUR DAY QUEEN MUTHA… I’m ready for a snippet… But I will be patient bc I have noooooo doubt it will be worth it
FLOP
🙁
BIHHHH u jus want a reply and yes… I’m gonna give it… I’m glad you payin homage to your mom in your screen name and tell her she was awesome in that old NOVA PBS special but don’t come for JANET… You low life peasant puuuussied trollop
Queen of amphitheaters is back to flop even harder… 🙁
She’s back so she can continue to give YOUR face pointers on how to SLAY… Make no mistake that Bey Stan’s for QUEEN JANET so with that being said… What army is this you speak of? #beyinspired by JANET like your fave is… With that said :screaming: GUARDS… Take IT away
U know the thirst is there when ppl claiming Beyonce have surpassed Janet. In what f****** way did she? Janet’s been on the low for the past 7 yrs and yet Beyonce came out with 2 albums and 2 tours since then and yet still a lessor to Janet. Just goes to show who was the bigger Queen in their prime. Janet’s catalog makes Beyonce catalog look like some disney s***. We only put up with Beyonce because their is no one else besides her, but now, motha has announced her return. The movement has just began. Be prepared to b cleanse and dragged to dear life.
“In what way Bey is betta than Jan?”
Vocals, baby! This generation aint here for that b**** whispering the entire time. While beyonce outchea serving sunday morning church vocals.
How cute is Janet, trying to compete with these young pop girls, and if its any indication, her music in 2008 and post MJ death had been flopping harder than aretha franklin’s titties!
no disrespect to Jan.
Janet don’t compete with the lessors honey. Hell she don’t even acknowledge them N still they continue all bow n praise including urs truly.
AmericanThot… Looking at the charts this “generation” you speak off ain’t here for TALENT anyway… No one is taking credit from Bey and what she is doin, but AGAIN she is and WILL ALWAYS be JANET’s lessor… SHE herself even knows this so why SOME members of the hive stay pressed about it is truly questionable… JANET needs to compete with NO ONE… As I said before… She MOTHERED these other artists and NO ONE has done it better
Why are people talking about Beyonce lmao. Yall up in here screaming and hollering when she’ll probably flop harder than Mariah #Stop. That being said I love Janet she has one of the best discographies out of all the big females.
I see some cute reactions of Janet announcement but she is ugly as hell, no? Muppet lookin ass b****. I love that b**** doe. Velvet rope was my s***. That album saved my life. But she still be ugly as hell.
“She still be ugly as hell”… Ignorance is bliss huh?
JANET I LOVE YA BLACK,ARAB-F***** ASS HONEY. But you is ugly tho.
Good luck grandma, you will be forcing to return to your coffin after the 1 single !!!
🙁
Her album will be named… RESSURRECTION (after the dead then dead again after her tour flop)
*Resurrection
Proud to know the newly converted Islam sister…Janet Abdullah Jackson…….. is making a comeback!!!
LMAO WHERE IS THE RECEIPT FOR THIS??? IM F****** CRYING!!!
QUEEN MY QUEEN is coming back Ive been waiting for this and I promise I will not read and I will ignore any negative comment about her over the net because I will want to pop a b**** in their mouth and wont be able to because they’re behind a computer typing s*** so its not worth it.
