Wow, Island Def Jam...Wow..
Okay so it's like 6:10 in the morning my lover Carson just called me and read the latest SOHH article to me over the phone, about Janet's message to her fans about what the hell is actually happening with "Discipline" and her promotion. Let me get it out...before I start cursing somebody's mother and their cousins -- WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?!
Here's the trifling article (just the Janet parts):
Here's what Janet had to say when I asked her what her next single would be:
"That’s pretty difficult to say, only because of the record label at this point. We started off with “Feedback” and the label and myself haven’t quite seen eye to eye since the "Feedback" single so they’ve kind of basically stopped all promotion. I’m trying to figure out a way to say this, but just to say it and to be quite honest, they just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album so I don’t think you’re going to hear another single off this album."
Um what?! Okay I'm not going to comment just yet -- here's her last statement:
Last but not least Janet wanted to make sure fans know she has been keeping up with the internet talk about her not making to Europe to promote Discipline:
"I just want to let the fans know because I’ve been reading a lot what the bloggers have been saying about the record and not hearing it on the radio and stuff like that, so I just wanted to let them know where things were as well and where it was all coming from. I’ve heard people talking about me not coming to Europe in support of the record just to let them know that it was definitely in my heart to go to Europe and to support this album but it’s about teamwork, it’s not something I can totally do on my own. Unfortunately things have turned out the way that they have with the differences between the label and myself, which we have been having for the most part from the beginning. So I just want to tell them again thank you very much for all the love and all the support and I they understand the entire situation and I’m really excited to see everybody on tour. I’m really looking forward to that it’s going to be a lot of fun."
Alright, so... basically IDJ has totally messed everything up -- badly. I mean, I'm assuming Janet went on over there, with high hopes that they would support her and have her back and for them to drop her in the dust like that because the artist (who may I add has been dropping albums since she was 16) wants control over what she puts out as opposed to being told what she should and should not do. Bullshit. They need to fallback. Um, LA Reid? Hello? I thought you loved that woman. I mean you did follow her in and out of every event she was at all last fall and talked about her new project like she was shitting platinum. How do you explain that?
I'm so mad. Not at Janet but at the "family" that was supposed to help her rise up instead of kick her down.
They won't succeed. It's happened before (Virgin), I have faith in her and no matter what anyone says, "Discipline" was and still is a solid album with a list of hits that should have been released. So, she shouldn't think twice about the quality of her work -- it's moreso the quality of her company.
Whatever Island Def Jam - Janet Jackson is more than a name on your roster. She's a legend - get with the program.
Next! ----->
