I don't think Janet Jackson selling less records is about race. I believe its more about ageism and sexiism and recycling. Janet's doing the same shit she did in 2001. Sorry, but fans want to see an artist progesss try something new. Why not try to do a straight up soul album with strings, piano or guitar with no beats? Why not a jazz album? But doing the same robotic dancing she did 20 years ago is boring. She's not growing anymore as an artist. Janet hasn't had a no.1 hit in five years.
I also think because Janet is a woman in music and at age 40 there is so much incredible pressure for her to be sexy. I just don't think its fair. I think it was dangerous of Janet to drop 60 pounds in four months. I don't care what Janet says I do not beieve she just worked out and eat healthy. I believe she had some assistance. Ever heard of I believe it is called colonics? Where a person takes a fast doesn't eat and they clean the body. Its a very fast way to lose weight. Maybe she didn't have surgery but she did more then just eat right and workout.
I am a Janet Jackson fan I have four of her albums but even I think she's acting kind of desperate. I mean constantly taking her clothes off. The woman is in great shape but I think at 40 people want to see some maturity some class some sophistication. Madonna I don't like her or even JLO not a big fan of hers but both these ladies dress their age. Oprah had a show about women should dress a certain age and I agree.
