JANET JACKSON: I LEFT DEF JAM BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO MAKE MATURE MUSIC ... AND I WANT TO MAKE SEXY DANCE TRACKS!!!


 







November 12, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com caught wind that Janet is talking openly about why she left Def Jam. According to Janet, they wanted her to make "mature" music. Here's Janet's exact quote:
There were some people who didn’t like the direction I took with this album (Discipline). They wanted me to sound more like Sade, but I’m not ready for that just yet. I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me.

Not ready for yet??? Janet ... Ma ... what have you been SMOKING!!!

    Well, Miss Janet....the people who are buying your tickets remember you when you had substance.

    1. You are with a troll..your sexiness has dwindled.
    2. You can't maintain one size...

    3. Your music is all about sex, and the idea that you are having sex with a troll is a turn off.
    4. act your damn age, and speak up during interviews.
    5. you have had 3 shots at redeeming yourself....Times up.
    6. you should have went with Def Jams Advice.....

    Either way, she's not going to make s h i t. Her days are over. She is no longer in Control. I loved Janet through the 80s and 90s, but damn, she has to learn how to sit back and keep the weight off. I don't think she'd sell even if she did a Sade-like record. Janet can't really sing. At all. She doesn't sound sexy in her falsetto. So, Janet, I think it's time that you listen to your "real fans"-- the ones you have left, and fall back. It's nice that you're trying to bring real music back, but unless you plan to make another Control cd, you're out of luck.

    This was Def Jam's album La reid put this together...Janet just did as she was told this was the album the record company put together and it feel apart when feedback failed and Janet wanted the reigns and they didn't want too give them too her..so she said F them and they said the same Janet should continue too Janet, the problem is is she did follow def jams lead and they [EXPLETIVE] her..then left her out there alone to handle this and of course with no support from her silly fans and of course no support from blk folks for what reason I dunno but..she's still rich and probally dont care as much as yall think she does...lol

    Janet's fans will buy anything she puts out but did you see when Oprah asked her if she was going to have kids? She played her and said not as many as mother. 42 year olds don't start families unless they're Halle Berry and she was 41.

    She needs to grow up. If she made more mature music, maybe, just maybe she'll have a hit again.

    @ Phillybruh, it takes a bigger person to realize when their time has passed. And sorry to say, that is the case with Janet Jackson, with people like Beyonce on the scene right now, Janet doesn't have chance. She need to hang it up and live off her money. HER TIME HAS PASSED.
     

    Phillybruh
    @ sweetest thing its funny that's like you going to work one morning and say to you your time has passed your no longer relavent even though you trained the new chick thats allegedly replacing you, I don't think Janet is in any way trying to compete with Beyonce, but I do think she is warrented more respect on radio and on silly ass blogs than she's gets. There are some folks who aren't fans of the crap they are force fed on the radio, I like Janet I recognize she's in her 40's but I will not hate on her she doesn't deserve that..but the sad part about it it's black folks hating on her, and to be honest for no real reason...her music is no more crap then the rest of it....
     

    sweetestthing
    I'm not saying that she doesn't deserve respect. But once I've "trained" you, I will bow out gracefully. Like Blair Underwood said in "Madea's family reunion"There is nothing sadder than hearing Frank Sinatra sing or Muhammad Ali fight past their prime.Sad but true. She can still be involved in music, just behind the scenes. No one wants to see Janet perform and the cancelled arenas/shows proves my point.

    And at least Def Jam is trying to be nice about it by suggesting that she change her style of music and not totally putting her out to pasture, like an old cow.
     

    spc_08
    DEF JAM WAS SMART! Janet is not! She what almost 45 and still think she is 20 yrs old. NO! LMAO! JANET=SADE! Wow for those who dont know Sade is a nice soulful/sultury/falsetto sexy singer. Her voice is low but yet powerful. The ONLY artist that was CLOSE to the next Sade was Aaliyah RIP Babygurl!

    Janet being Sade is LIGHT YEARS AWAY!!! LMAO!
    I think since Babygurl is gone the only singer who can be Sade is Ciara. But by a longshot! With a better vocal coach and clearing up nasals.

    But yeah Janet GIVE IT UP! Focus on your Lingerie Clothing Line!
    Now Madonna making Dance tracks and that did well and she is ACTUALLY Touring and people are going to see her because SHE IS ACTUALLY There and isnt Lip Synching the whole show! Again that is why she is the QUEEN of POP and not you Janet. She is 50 and you are 43 and still cant do the stuff she is doing SHAME!

    #1, Nikkidavis24, you are too funny! I was thinking "some type of bird"
    #2, she'll never sound as good as Sade, there's only ONE!!!
    #3, she needs to grow up bc I hardly count FeedBack a sexy dance song.

And too sweetestthing i liket he lil convo..lol but I do hear what your saying, I just don't agree, I don't think Janet needs to change her style becuase once she does you'll complain again, she is in a no win situation its not her music or her, its the public youv'e been turned against her which is sad but true and you don't recognize it, she's being called all kinds of names for no reason told too sit down for no reason why should she to make room for less talented young girls who are only imulating her and recording nothing of real relavance 20yrs from now. and for the record I went to the show in NY and DC and contrary to popular beleif they both were filled, there are people that still want too see Janet YOU don't just say that, and you probally do but your hating becuase everyone else is from radio to mto.....

    I like Janet and all, but the truth is not that she "wasn't ready" to do mature music like Sade; the truth is that she can't carry ballads. She's only done 2 ballads that were any good; all the other ones she's tried have been flops.

    She needs to pick up a skill - like directing music videos, or movies; take her career in a new direction.

    @ RedBeanzNRice

    OMG GIRL YOU READ MY MIND!! I'll admit that I listen to her music but Janet had the Jackson name to carry her. She's no Mariah Carey, Christina A or even a Fantasia. I don't think that she should retire completely but she's getting too old to be bouncing around half naked. The audience that grew up with her are in their 40's. What 40 year old do you see listening to Britney Spears?
     

    jonas
    I read recently that Janet lost her book deal on "dieting" due to her recent weight gain. I think she needs to come to terms with the fact that she is no longer a sex symbol, part of being a sex symbol means keeping a sexy body and somehow she can't manage to do that.

I can't listen to old popstars like madonna, Janet, etc. They need to sit down or find some other artform. Paint, act, produce music, finance others, Something. Just don't hold on too long and become the fat Elvis.

    It's never been a secret that Janet can't really sing. But her smile is contageous and back in the day she put it down at her concerts like no one else could do. But now a days, Beyonce or Ciara would sooooo rip her to pieces on stage. Now gone some where Penny before I go get that hot iron again.

    Janet needs to sit her old ass down somewhere. I agree with the music exec's---bring more subtle music into the industry. We got enough wack ass dance tracks. She apparently thinks this is where the money is, that may be true. However, many people who grew up listening to Janet like myself would love to see her take on a new direction, and make some slow jams for the old schoolers.

    UMM..SHE WILL NEVER SOUND, LOOK, OR BE AS CLASSIC OR SMOOTH AS SADE. SORRY JANET, I LOVE YOU, BUT PLEASE NEVER SAY SADE'S NAME AGAIN UNLESS YOU ARE SAYING "I LOVE YOU SADE."

    I love Janet, but she knows good and damn well that she can't sing like Sade. She likes doing dance music because she knows it doesn't require any REAL vocal ability and we ALL know that Miss Janet can't SING!!

    Dear Janet:
    Perhaps you should have listened to Def Jam on this one. No disrespect...I remember you being as sexy as you could possibly be in 92 & 93 and years after that.

    YA'LL need to FALL DA FCUK BACK! Janet is an ICON and you know it. She's not in it for the money, she is worth 200+ million and she doesn't need to please people. She is the head bitch in charge and a true musician who does what she wants. G'ON GIRL MISS JANET!!! DO YOU MAMI!!! THESE HATERZ KNOW THEY WANNA BE YOU!!!

    ronnell
    first of all the negative comments are mainly from people who dont dig janet in the first place so whether she's successful during something i e "why did i get married" or if she goes through a dry spell most of you who hate merely jump on band wagon's to attack her and praise her only when it appears to be popular to do so so who give's a s@#$ what yall haters think cuz you wouldnt support either way...blow up

    EVEN THOUGH MADONNA IS WELL OVER THE POPSTAR AGE LIMIT, HER MUSIC HAS CONSTANTLY SHOWN GROWTH AND LYRICALLY HER SONGS ARE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEAGUE THAN JANETS. BUT HELL, MADONNA CAN ACTUALLY SING. JANET CANT. AND THAT'S JUST THE SIMPLE TRUTH.

    I am with you Janet. I am your #1 fan and one of the reasons why I love you so much is because your music is so danceable. I wouldn't have ti any other way. Keep on being you.

    I think she is a great performer, but how is she gonna make DANCE music when she can't keep up? I liked FEEDBACK, but ROCK WITCHU was depressing. She needs to lay-off the S&M sex songs though. She should also keep the acting door open. I loved her in why did I get married. Also BTW your WEIGHT is not my concern, but your health is important.

    Ain't that the truth! But to be fair, at least she's not trying to pull a "Madonna" - on stage in her granny drawers grinding all over the place.

    @blksweat3121

    My facts are straight. Just cause YOU liked those songs don't make em hits.

    I dont understand most of you and never will. Only in the black community are people "too old" to make the kind of music they always have and want to make. At 43 Janet still outshines the likes of Ciara and company. Ciara is the carbon copy of Janet yet Janet needs to sit down and mature! STFU! Janet's only mistake was trying to cater to the urban black audience. We don't buy cd's, go to shows, or offer support. All we do is critize as if any of you could imagine a career that has been as long as hers.

    It's time for Janet to make grown and sexy music and leave the teeny bopper stuff to the teeny boppers. Instead of going out on top of her game she is going out an old washed up has been
     

    PunchDrunkPretty
    Janet fell of when her boyfriend started to influence her career. She should never have had any "ghetto" in her sound. It's what he brought to her music, she said. And it's what did her in... If you want to sound like the young people, you've got to compete with them...and it isn't that she wouldn't come out ahead in that (she's as attractive as any young singer out now) but that she belittles herself and her career by stooping to their level. That line she had about a period was just a killer for me... Like the line Beyonce had about love being like a perm left on too long... Some things you say and there's no going back for me... Janet needs to ditch the boyfriend or relegate his advice to their relationship only...
     

    cosyjo
    Janet probably knows that it is time for CONTROL no.2. That is bringing out something that is totally from her and not influenced by musical politics, A&R men and others. She's been doing it long enough to represent herself now entirely as she wishes.

    She seems like a nice enough lady - but she gonna need some grit to stay the course.

    She's 42 or 43 now. She should maybe consider transitioning from that sexy dance set. Eventually, you need to recognize your age and act / perform appropriately...not saying the 40 somethings cant be sexy, but in entertainment it's rare to keep it popping past 40. Even Madonna and Tina Turner had to change and re-invent their styles throughout the years.

    I respect Janet's work...she has done her thing, but until she can still bring us something different, more mature she may continue this downward spin, which will make a difficult transition into old age. SHE LOOKS HELLA GOOD AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE..BE HAPPY AND PROUD OF THAT AND ALL THE AWESOME THINGS SHE'S DONE, BUT PASS THE TORCH ON GRACEFULLY TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

    why are the idiots on this board typing in all caps. That shyt irks me. I dont even read what they say. Caps is for stressing certain points - Not the whole damn comment Geez. Now back on topic - The real truth is Janet's career began to die, when:

    1- She let her titty pop out ( Her own doing)

    2- Beyonce's solo celebrity turned here into a POP icon (Not her own doing)

    Thats the sad truth.

    Just go do another Tyler Perry movie, you were good in that
