Janet Jackson's New CD Bombs

16. This is a surprise? Her voice is nasal and whiney and she is just a clone of her brother. Nothing original about her or her work..why should we spend money buying her albums?

17. First of all Janet Jackson does not deserve all of this backlash. She is not responsible for her families actions. She has been in this music business for 20 years and still selling albums regardlesss of how many. For her to debut at #2 during this Hip Hop age of music and without MTV or POP radio was quite an accomplishment for a 40 year old musician. As far as her infamous Superbowl flashing, SHIT happens. Regardless if it was planned or actually a mistake. Justin is the one who actually caused the wardrobe to malfunction and because he is a white male he hasn't had any negative backlash. I am not a diehard Janet fan and I purchased her album because I like to support the underdog. Her CD really sounds good. Her voice actually sounds the best I have ever heard and the album is not all about sex. It's about having a good time on the dance floor, in life and with your significant other. Remember only God can truly judge us. Take a listen to the album and be a music critic not a persons life critic.

18. Ya'll failed to remember that the Velvet Rope sold 202K albums in it's first weeks and it still went on to be a multi-platinum record. So don't believe the numbers. And Janet Jackson is still an ICON. None of these wanna be Pop/R&B Stars out here to today could hold anything to her career.

20. I'd like to know if there are numbers for the number of downloads of her songs before making a decision on how she's "tanking". People aren't buying as many CD's as they used to, period. Why should they when for a few cents they can download the songs they want and not end up with songs they don't from an overpriced CD?

Having said that, I don't like her and wouldn't buy her music!

21. Janet's cd is great! How can you call it a bomb after 3 weeks? What ever happened to giving a cd a few months to reach platinum. The Pussy Cat Dolls Sold less then Janet their first 3 weeks, but have reached 3 million now. She has a long way to go, but with the whole world against her this will not be easy. If she is not platnum by the time her tour in next year then you can she she's flopped.

22. There's ups and downs in everybody life,in everyday life and the entertainment life.Do not be so hard on this lady,she's will be alright with or without the big records sales. This woman is not broke,i believe she will be back on top as a music star or some other venture

23. I can totally understand that. She is just terrible. She has no voice. Every song from her she sounds like a mouse, you can hardly hear her and her songs are boring.She was good 20 years ago, somewhat originall, but now she only sucks big time

24. Give little Janet a break people. Ever since the dress code at Dumb Blonde Middle School was tightened and wardrobe malfunctions have not been allowed, our original media clone has not been the same. Everyday prior to boarding the short yellow bus with Mikey, I have to make sure both are properly dressed and have their protective helments on, because they both have a weird desire to fall on young skinny white boys. These two have been on probation for quite sometime and are always looking for a reason to live the past 15 minutes of glory they each once held. Unfortunately, the Dumb Blonde Middle School recording studio has been booked lately by Parasite and Firecrotch, so quality time with a decent lip sync coach and access to a computer to clean up the music has been hard to get.

25. wow sucks to be here, i feel a little bad for her, she used to be the sh!t and now, well she's not

26. Its so funny to see people jump on what sales figures classify as a flop, and in turn pass judgement on those we really know very little about.

I had a chance to listen to Janets new CD, and its actually really good! I have never owned a Jackson CD before this one, which shows for some artisits, its never really over. Her fan base is strong, she does look great and the CD is pretty strong. Its the media, radio DJ's, and people like above who could never have the success that Janet has, who are so bitter, they find some warped sense of happiness from someone elses shortcomings.

I'm so happy my life is complete and solid enough to not fall in that catagory! Not to like something is one thing, but to spew out so much hate and anger on someone you don't know is quite, well, pretty pathetic!

27. TO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE TRYING TO DISS JANET, JANET DOES NOT HAVE TO COMPETE, SHE HAS BEEN WHERE THESE ARTIST TODAY IS, MOST OF THEM ONLY HAVE WHAT ONE OR TWO ALBUMS AND JANET HAS 16 AND WE CANNOT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES GONE PLATINUM, HOW MANY TIMES #1 BILLBOARDS AND R&B.

I LOVE THIS CD, IT IS THE BEST CD THAT JANET HAS EVER PUT OUT!!! AS IT WAS TOLD BEFORE, JANET GOT BACKLASHED AND TALKED ABOUT BECAUSE OF THE SUPERBOWL, AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE MUSIC WAS PUT ON BLAST EVERY HOUR AS IF HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SUPERBOWL, SO DON'T GET IT TWISTED. WHILE YOU PEOPLE ARE TALKING HOW COME YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT "JANET'S" BROTHER "MICHAEL JACKSON" SAVING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY A FEW YEARS AGO, YES!!! 'MICHAEL JACKSON" SAVED THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WITH HIS THRILLER ERA, BUT YOU ALL DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I SAY IT IS JUST RACIST PEOPLE BEING RACIST; AND HATERS BEING HATERS!!!

29. 2 all of the foolz who is here hating on Miss Jackson needz 2 get a lyfe. I`m sure Janet does NOT give a sh!t 2 what u imbredz are saying about her.

Janet is 1 of the most talented, gorgeous women around and u can`t stand it. Just because the album has not sold lyke people were expecting u foolz are going 2 hate? That is 2 freakin` sad. Another thing-it is Virgin Records who is NOT doin` their job.

Janet has been around around for what 25-30 years now in the entertainment business. So byte that suckaz. I`d lyke 2 see some untalented skanky trailer trash lyke Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake be around 4 that long. At least I hope and pray not. Britney pleaze stay bare foot and pregnant out of the public view. *gags*

TMZ sux!

30. Janet is a has been. I lost respect for her when she tried to make a comeback a few years ago with all that plastic surgery that made her look freakish. Then she hooked up with Jermaine Dupri, what the heck is that? -loser status The she pulls that stunt at the Superbowl which gave her bad publicity. It may have boosted Justin's career but it was a desperate move on her part and everyone knew it. Janet should respect herself more the way she use to and maybe the public will too. I hope she learned something from all of this. She forced her stunt on everyone and now it backlashed.
