I am basing it off the the "public" that called into the radio that day. It was slated by all callers. Please, do not think I am a "Janet Hata." I ADORE Miss Janet. She has been the soundtrack to my life, but I know crap when I hear it. And please, do not dilude yourself with the whole #1 RnB title for COM. How did it get there? By releasing a $0.99 physical single. That's how. Can you say Mariah Carey "Loverboy?" Your 1 station does not reflect the masses. 2nd "Call on me" was top 5 in Urban AIRPLAY before the physical single was ever released. So even without the physical single she had the actual AIRPLAY. "Loverboy" didnt have half the airplay "Call on me" did. "Call on me" is a bonified hit, like it or not its her biggest hit since "Someone to call my lover." |

Whether people like it or not, the Superbowl fiasco is still affecting Janet’s career, especially in the US. If Janet would just come out and say it was a stupid mistake and a dumb stunt gone wrong I think people would be more forgiving. 20 Y.O. was not a bad album (albeit, not the dance record she promised!) and deserved to do better. Damita Jo was a hot mess, IMO, but that’s neither here nor there…
If Janet would just come clean and be honest about things I think people would see her as a human being who makes mistakes and would move on.

She also needs to keep her clothes on and leave her minge alone.

ny post - page sixDISSING JUSTINMay 16, 2007 -- ACTRESS Sallie Toussaint is no fan of Justin Timberlake. Toussaint, who stars in "The Departed" and who used to date Prince Albert, told Smooth magazine, "I would definitely not date a guy like [Timberlake]! Bringing sexy back? Why doesn't he bring his b - - -s back? After the Janet [Jackson] thing where he didn't step up, I stopped liking him. He could have helped tremendously by just being a man, but he didn't. He ripped her top and ran. Timberwuss is quite the fairy. He needs to man up!"

Happy Birthday JANET!!!! |

I'm liking Sallie.
Happy Birthday to Janet! I'm rooting for her next project to do better. I thought "Call On Me" was actually pretty decent and should have been a top fifteen Hot 100 hit at least.

Happy Belated Birthday Janet!
The reason Call on Me didn't hit top 20: low digital sales and top 40 radio didn't spin it enough. But it's a hit and that's for sure.

Damn, I just played The Knowledge and I do hope Janet can tap into the issues our world faces today. Janet's work isn't just regulated to love making...she needs to reinforce that.

Yes, I need Janet to have a voice and speak of issues again. Im tired of her only being known for sex now. Its so boring.

There's a "Speed It Up" b/w "Love Me" single floating around online, does anybody know where it comes from?

Post by Adonis the DemiGod! on May 23, 2007 15:01:25 GMT -5
It comes from the music that was scrapped from DJ despite Love Me being the song Janet needed to ignite the JALW single and the whole DJ era.

Rush Hour 3 Soundtrack comes out July 31st. I suspect that the first single from the soundtrack will be released at any moment.
