Janet Jackson is starting to do press to promote her forthcoming CD, Discipline on Island Def Jam.
In an interview with Hong Kong's Prestige magazine, the writer asked her what it's like to be J.D.'s girl and work with him professionally.
Check out excerpts from the interview:
Except this time around I see Usher and Mariah [Carey] coming out of the studio and I say, “Okay, wait, aren’t you supposed to be working on my stuff? We’re supposed to be doing our stuff together.†And he goes, “Well yeah,†and I’m like, “Why are they here, don’t I come before them when it’s time for the album to be released?†But it’s all good.
Janet goes on to talk about the possibility of a Jackson world tour, her 2008 New Year's resolutions and what not....
Otherwise there was nothing major in the interview. Feel free to read how boring it was by clicking [here.]
Juicy interviews may not be her strong suit, but I'll be damned if pretty ain't a talent.

She is looking a bit old in these pics.
She looks old you got to be kidding me what 40 year old look this good. Janet looks flawless.

muthafucka do u kno wat her last name is?
Janet looks Hot. You know the hater are going to Hate and the first thing people like to say is she looks OLD. Whatever. She looks Hot and good. Haters we love all the feedback
@Thousandaire
Yeah i agree if she don't pull it off this time it's a rap.
how stupid this blog is, trying to kick up some dust anyway you can.
let the music speak for itself.
Janet is beautiful and sexy, not old.
and definitely not jealous
I don't like Janet's new song, but I hope that she can pull off a comeback like Tina Turner. I am sucker for an underdog. She looks good for 40 years old, but so does Tracey Edmonds and Halle Berry. You know 40 is the new 20, or is it 30. Who cares? Age ain't nothing but a number.

WOW take it easy internet thug...for the record her last name is Janet...and like I said this cd will make or break her career...her last cd wasnt a classic like what were used to from Ms JACKSON...she needs another classic cd to get that recognition she supposed to get...I love Janet & will always be a fan but her music lately hasnt been classic material like her previous cd's...this cd needs to be a classic...she needs to come back strong like Maria did...just because her last name is Jackson doesnt give her a pass...look at her bro Michael...
^^^^ wtf her last name is Janet?
nvm Janet looks good hell no she aint jealous she can say whateva she wants to her nigga. Im buyin da cd period.
MARIAH CAREY IS BETTER THAN JANET AN U BYTCHES KNO IT AN U HOES BETTER RESPECT IT....LOL WE WILL SEE IN 2008 WHEN MARIAHS ALBUM YET OUT SELLS JANETS YET AGAIN...LOL LMAO GO MARIAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
go head miss janet!!!!!! let the haters hate!!!!!
tayshaun. shut ur bitch ass up they neva released a album in the same year. she might have more number ones den Janet but her name will neva be bigger THAN MISS JANET JACKSON.
I MEAN, LETS BE REAL. I WANA HEAR JANET SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM....I WANA HEAR JANET SING WHILE SHE IS HORSE....WHEN JANET GET 17+ NUMBER ONES ON THE HOT BILLBOARD 100 CHART, THEN COME BACK AN TALK. UNTIL THEN NO MA'AM AN NO SIR MARIAH GOT THIS
TAYSHAUN thats the only thing Mariah got goin for her is her DAMM 17 #1's check Janets resume and than come back on here...Janet is way more successful than Mariah, thanx thats all
SOHH -- I'M SURPRISED AT YOU!!! You didnt put the entire quote in order to make JJ come across as some jealous bitch. That's how shit gets started in the media. Janet said that she comes first -- not because they are dating -- but because her album is slated to come out first. That makes sense to me. Toodles
she doens look old at all...but her face is real chiseled from all the working out...either way she looks great tho and i wanna see the video
Wow! This is a new LOW for SOHH....Is this what you all have to do to maintain readership?
If she should be jealous of anything, it should be that Mariah's album will be hotter than hers or that her "talent" will be compared to Mi-Mi's talent....she should be scared, not jealous, of that...
Yall mariah fans need to shut the crack pipe up jj did not mean that in a bad way she just meant that since her album is 1st b4 all of theirs hers should get done with. Some of yall don't have no understanding at all and screw mariah since mc fans wanna be that way thats why she aint got no man and have a strong relationship like jj and jd!
appartntly tayshaun hasnt been doing his research she has had 26 number one singles.Last i couldnt 26 comes after 16. get ur facts right. No one asked u to listen to her music. If u dont like it then "Shut Up and Drive"
you need to pull this thread NOW. as much web traffic as you get from janet's name, you should be more decent than to distort what the article said. here's the link to the full quote (and maybe them damn mimi fans with shut the hell up too): http://www.prestigehk.com/currentissue/coverstory/janetjackson5.html
"Don't Forget About Us, " was Mariah's 17th number 1 single on the US Charts. She tied with Elvis Presley. Where did 26 come from? Name them. Besides, I like them both. They are 2 different artists. Janet is right, because her man needs have her back first and foremost.
mariah sells her singles for 5 cents none of her number 1's are memorable unlike janet's ... mariah who????? o ya the 'singer' who can't even sing anymore
Janet is so NOT intimidated of Mariah. They are completely two different artist with one being more of a performer and one more of a singer. Both of them need to respect their places. Mariah could never dance or perform like Janet and Janet will never sing like Mariah. It strictly depends on what the masses like and that's where the competition lies.
Why are Janet fans and Mariah fans falling out over this? From what I understand Mimi and Janet get along just fine. I also can't understand why their level of success is being compared? Both are very successful people who don't have to perform ever again. If they retire tomorrow they have made an impact in the record industry. To Mariah and Janet, I love you both and will be purchasing both albums on their respective release dates.
slpullen -- you are very right. they both are excellent performers with an enviable record.
sohh's just starting mess. if you read the article, this clearly had nothing to do with usher or mariah, but with janet wanting jd to focus.
Did you read the entire interview? SHE WASN'T BEING SERIOUS. Stop taking things out of context.
By the way, she looks F-I-N-E. She looks exactly the way she did in the "Scream" music video back in 1995, crazy!
Well, she should be intimidated. Mariah would kill her ass in every avenue possible, when it comes to this here entertainment business....
you need to post the entire quote instead of starting trouble where there is none. janet has no reason to be jealous of mariah. the only thing mariah has over janet is her voice, nothing more. had she not married the boss at sony music and had him buying her albums for her, she wouldn't be where she is today. at least janet worked for what she has accomplished. and it's Janet that artists like beyonce, rihanna, ciara, britney, and everybody else is following, not mariah. so if anybody had a reason to be jealous or intimidated, it ain't janet.
janet and mariah are probably sitting together somewhere now laughing at all this nonsense.
@ Kae
the only area mariah can kill janet in is the "who can dress like the bigger slut" arena.
What is all the fuss, neither can sing anymore. All they are now are heavy beat riders. Yawn.
apparently Tayshaun has not done his reasearch. Janet has had over 16 # 1 hits. Get ur facts straight before u start to diss someone.Both Janet and Mariah are good at what they do.No one has a gun to ur head making u listen to their music.
Soul man played the hell out of you folks with his comment so he can get a reaction like the rest of the media will do when both ladies albums drop. While they both make their profits and keep it moving and we getting worked up over nothing. In all actuality we know both women admire and respect one another. Why can't both ladies have success ?
Uh, last time I checked both of these bitches laugh all the way to the bank no matter what. Their coins are in order, are your's? Plus Mariah drops (untitled) in March, Janet drops in Feb. Guarantee a #1 anyone wanna bet?
Yeah, the ladies send each other flowers.(JJ sent Mimi flowers when she came to Virgin, Mimi sent JJ flowers when she came to IDJ), and go clubbing together.
But sure, they hate each other.*rolls eyes*
Its funny how they left out some lines that explains what she means in this MISQUOTE. Here is the full question and answer,
You’ve moved to Island Records and you’re working on your new album with your boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri. Since you and Jermaine live together and work together, is it difficult?
No, from my perspective it’s not. But you’d have to ask him for his perspective, if I’m difficult [laughs] – I don’t think I am! I think there’s such a thing as being a team player with whatever it is you’re doing, and granted it’s your career, so you should have a final say, but still it’s about a team effort and you could never do it alone. But if there is something that we both feel differently about, it just should really be talked about and that’s the way we’ve always done it. Except this time around I see Usher and Mariah [Carey] coming out of the studio and I say, “Okay, wait, aren’t you supposed to be working on my stuff? We’re supposed to be doing our stuff together.†And he goes, “Well yeah,†and I’m like, “Why are they here, don’t I come before them when it’s time for the album to be released?†Not because I’m his girlfriend [laughs], but for the release of the album. Mine has to be released first, so doesn’t it make sense to get me out of the way first? But it’s all good.
IKE-I am glad u pasted the whole thing because SOULMAN did make it seem like Janet was being a DIVA lol!! The single is crazy hot and the clubs are killing it! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!
SEXY SEXY SEXY
I don't even hear her song on the radio...Her album will get pushed back or it will flop....
I can't stand Mariah, I am ok with Janet and she soes look pretty good in these pictures, I must say since we are talking about someone looking good at 40 (+) Madonna looks damn fine still and her new album should be a huge seller this year since she is working with Kanye West, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake etc. Can't wait!
No jealousy here. They are friends. MC and Janet are what's up. And I agree with Josh; Can't wait for Madonna, but on the other hand, I love Mariah.
Madonna?lol okay anyway I love Janet. She doesnt have to make another album in her life bcuz she is already settled. Mariah is aight.
