Janet Jackson - NUMBER ONES World Tour '11

^ Find out for yourself. I actually liked it .... quite a bit more than I thought I would, actually.
Some of the "poetry" parts were a bit jarring but I appreciated it because it was ringing true to the original play. It'll be interesting to see how it does for this weekend....and the weeks to come.

She really held her own. I was proud :)

Phylicia Rashad also gave a strong performance. It's amazing how you can feel emotion just by hearing her voice.

^ Yep. Not a bad way to look at it. Another $20 million opening weekend for Miss Janet. :)

The movie was great, my only complaint is that it was too short to tell all of the stories involved. However, the casting was excellent. I love the depth in Janet's voice, she wasn't my favorite but she held her own. Whoopi was crazy but still entertaining. I was glad there were laughing moments. I just wish the plot was more develop and the women's stories had been a little better. I did enjoy it. I want to see it again soon. I loved the poetry piece and the ending was uplifting, "my love is too blank to be thrown back in my face", now I loved that expression. It is sad how realistic this film is and I did not see any disrespecting to men. It just simply told a tale of women from all different levels can suffer but still manage to live.

The stage play was about women and their issues with MEN. There was no way to make a movie out of theplay and make it into some kind of light hearted fairytale. He did what was required with the material it was based off and Lee daniels probably would have made the story even grittier than Tyler. People just have an issue with Tyler Perry when in fact he did a decent job. Of course a more experienced director probably would have done better but thats the case with any film but the content of the women having issues and the men being the cause of their issues would not have changed because thats the concept of the play.

she said she is going into the studio and playing around and taking her time. Maybe something next year as far as music. She says she has other things on the horizon but cant say yet becase nothing is set in stone.

Basically, she will be MIA again until next year.

So, is "True You" really coming out in January? Seems like there would be a firm date by now....

I wasn't suggesting the plot be changed, I was simply stating it follows his typical pattern. I'm sure it appealed to him as a project because topically it was very much within his comfort zone: women victimized by triflin' men. Of course he had to suck most of the subtlety out of it and add his usual brand of heavy-handed melodrama.

Anyway, this winds up with $19.4 million - it was overestimated by $700k.

That book has been coming out for what seems like five years now. "Just a collection of little anecdotes...."

^ WOW - she looks amazing!

Is this an autobiography????

Book cover!

She looked AMAZING on George Lopez! I loved the interview.
