: If you though that the Kanye - 50 Cent battle generated some buzz, you're not going to believe what Def Jam is considering. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a Def Jam insider who claims that Jermaine is trying to convince Janet and Mariah to release a joint album.
According to an executive at the record label, Jermaine came up with the idea as a way of increasing interest in both albums. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "There hasn't been a ton of interest out there for a new Mariah Carey [album], and there's even less for a Janet [Jackson album]. [Jermaine] thinks that if the two were combined, it would generate enough buzz to increase the overall sales for both artists."
Our source added "I think it's a brilliant idea. With [the music industry] business struggling, this is exactly the kind of thing we need to do if we're going to increase sales.
But it appears that neither Mariah or Janet are as easy to convince as our insider. The Def Jam exec told MediaTakeOut.com that, so far, neither woman has signed on to Jermaine's idea.

CLOSER's COMMENTS I don't blame the two for not wanting to collab. These are two pop star icons! What would we be saying if they did? That the two starlets are about to be blown outta the socket without a leg to stand on without the cructh of the other??? HELL NAH!
I appreciated the mental process of the concepts first approach, but this is NOT the way to go JD. Now if you consider a Alicia Keys/ Jimmy Cozier kind-of-approach. A super hit single that the two featured on that was on both of their albums -- that would be the type of rainbow to lead to the pot of gold. The two have the vocal capacity and star qualities to continue a flawless transition into continue musical production. The two are IKONs in their own right, what would it look like to say Miss Control and Madame Butterfly couldnt make it without the assist of the other? Single with the power duo potential of Shakira and Beyonce, YES, double disc album, a lil played. Not the move in my book. Just something to consider. Peace and blessings

First of all, that is the most dumb idea I ever heard of. I love Janet and Mariah dearly but putting out a two disc set not worth thinking of. This is not an Outkast situation. Both of them are good at what they do in their own style. I know JD loves Janet but he needs to stay out of the way of her career. Their styles just don't mesh like Janet's and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
I have always and always will be a Janet favorite unlike other fake azz celebrities Janet has mega talent in all areas. Dancing, singing, acting! It's call a triple threat! Mariah whorish azz needs to sit down that's why her ex Tommy has by favorite latina singer Thalia on his arms and not some lunatic!
Janet thank you for all the videos you life stories and struggles to the top and made it back and now can show the world what you have you go woman! Kudos! To you for real!
Mariah needs to stick to her fairy tale weird azz mind with the butterflies and hello kitty crap no man will talk a grown azz woman like that running around still acting like some lost teenager serious! Janet did say she still feels like a kid but at least she has a love life and seem to be happy and doing well for herself and have it together mentally!
JANET IS ALREADY MADE...SHE REALLY DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. mARIAH WOULD SING CIRCLES AROUND JANET BUT I GUESS AS A ARTIST IT'S JUST IN YOU TO PERFORM AND YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOUR FIRST LOVE UP BUT WHEN YOUR TIME HAS PAST, IT'S TIME TO FIND SOMETHING NEW AND SHE DID HER THING IN TYLER PERRY'S MOVIE SO GET BACK INTO THE ACTING "PENNY"...=)
I hope they do it. Since Beyonce pulled out of doing a duet with Janet yrs ago. and instead did 1 with Shakira. [link to external website]
Janets music Career is in a slump. He is her boyfriend that is alreaddy a big conflict of interest. Mariah made a solid comeback. How would this benefit Mariah Carey? They are two totally different type of artist. I don't see how that would even be complimentary. It would be a lose lose situation for Mariah.
janet is a good singer but maria will blow her out off the record and plus they have two different type styles janets more slow and sex with it marias all about the bling i dont think it will sell that good to be honest with you janet needs to do a little more research and find someone else to produce her music because her man is not doin a good job peace out this 1cocb
I don't know if i believe this. I'd like to believe that JD has more sense than this. People ARE anticipating a new Mariah CD !! "Mimi" was so hot, i can't wait to see if she can top it ! I just wish Janet would step out of her comfort zone and try something new vocally and dance-wise. I LOVE her, but she needs to get a new choreographer. I'm tired of seeing her do the same damn dance steps she's been doing since she hooked up with Tina.
Don't really believe this, but if it does happen, it would prove once and for all what all of us have known for years - JANET JACKSON CAN'T SING! Mariah would blow her out of the water. No disrespect meant to Janet because I like her, but the truth is, since she hooked up with Jermaine musically, the music she's made stinks up the place.
