Janet Jackson Leads Super Tuesday, But Don't Front On Erykah, Cheri and Algebra

Posted on February 26, 2008 3:12 PM

Ya girl Janet is leading the pack of new releases today that also include genius, Erykah Badu, Cheri Dennis and Algebra.




Janet who is back in the good graces of MTV performed for GMA and didn't quite razzle dazzle:



that wig had me pretty upset... but that body is always right.

She also has a scheduled appearance on TRL today-- maybe she saved her mojo for that. I mean, with all her TV spots and such on MTV after being banned/ignored she kinda has added pressure.

And if she don't sell... then the stans cannot blame MTV's lack of involvement.

Also-- Janet is an ICON, she don't need to sales to prove worth, this album is DOPE and thats all I am going to say about Janet until my last day as editor of this blog (which is this Friday).

But moving on. Erykah Badu is in stores today. GO BUY HER NEW CD PLUS ALL HER OLD ONES AND LISTEN TO THEM BACK TO BACK TO EXPERIENCE HER EVOLUTION!










But while you are on iTunes or at Wal Mart or Best Buy... don't front on Cheri Dennis who drops her first cd, In and Out of Love today....

And lastly....

My personal friend ALGEBRA is finally dropping her new CD today. Purpose is a labro of love and long overdue. Check her out:


So thanks for being patient... chew on those new releases til after TRL! Hopefully it's not much ado about nothing.

  • Yeah..JJ must have been kicking it too hard yesterday with Terrence over on 106 & Park instead of getting her beauty rest because the performance was a little dull this morning.

    And yall know I am a die-hard (Not a stan!) so if I say it.....

  • You're definitely right, the performance this morning was pretty lackluster. I wasn't feeling the choreography at all! And I was mad at that wig too. LoL...

    But seriously Soulman? Friday's your last day? Even though we sometimes disagree on Janet, you're my homepage... I check your shit religiously and value your opinion on music.

  • Is that your half-assed justification for the inevitable BOMBING of this "icon's" album. Stans always do shit like that. Just like the people who refuse to acknowledge that damn near all of the singers out sing far better than she does, so they say, "But they're different kinds of Artists" like that has shit to do with singin' ability....
    Will she even hit 300? I'd be suprised. Her singles are trash. Now Miss E? She deserves to be a bigger start than she is. I bought my Badu album on my break, did you? Wake up....

  • Kae..cut the crap! You spit so much venom about Janet's singing abilities or lack there of and you already admitted to once being a fan and having some of her past cd's.

    Were u just as concerned about her vocals when u bought those cds? You just talking shit about vocals now because it is seemingly 'in' right now. Get off the band wagon! Two years from now when folks start dissin "big voices' Kae's ass will be the first to start trashing MC and Bey and all them other big voice chics!

    Sit down kid! E Badu is great but she's nobody's icon. Get a clue!

  • lmao kae going hard again... hopefully the stans dont get outta control but janet has a few good songs on the album. i felt some of it was wack, but luv, disipline, and so much betta were the best tracks, for some reason i hate janet ballads...sorry stans, no hate, but britney had the right production and better overall album for sure!
    **********
    e badu's album is hot, i also revisited her old material and this was the best move musically for her, i cannot wait for the other parts to be released. this is the only must buy listed.
    **************
    soulman, why did u wait until now to show love to algebra? i been waiting for this...

  • Oh by the way Kae..Im next in line to take over this MF blog when Soulman departs..so you about to get some serious 'Discipline' where JJ's concern! Just you wait! LOL! You better un-bookmark this effin page if you know what's good for you!

  • I loved janet's performance? What was so bad about it? Why was it lackluster? Please explain? Cuz, I thought her movements were on point and it was style I never seen her do. Feedback live sounded hot.

    You don't scare me, patna! Even if you do take over this section and turn it into a Janet dick-sucking competition, the fact will never change. She's not entertainment anymore. The dancing was hott long time ago, but her joints are dried up and she gets played by other sub-par singers/2 steppin dancers (*cough* CIARA *cough*). I'm over limited talent.
    Stop lying to yourself and to others, Janet STANS. Face the inevitable. Her comeback was multiplied by three albums and they have all failed miserably....I'm sorry.

  • Sup Adrian! I love Janet's new cd it is hot and everyone did a really good job on it. I am not crazy about E. Badu's new cd she hasn't been hot since Baduizm and the live cd. Everything is a little to left field and she was looking hella crazy on 106th and park last week. But I wish her well. But today is all about DISCIPLINE!

  • I got that Erykah Badu joint and i like it. Real musik. And i got Cheri Dennis. I like that joint too. Two good pick-ups that you wont be dissapointed with. I didn't want to risk it on Janet.

  • Janet never gives a bad performance. Some are better than others, but none are EVER bad! Feedback was a little slo in the beginning, but it's also modeled after the video which is the same. The choreography is tight, but GMA did a bad job with the camera angles. Too much attention to the crowd and you couldn't see what Janet was doing. Rock With U was great, but u gotta see that on youtube since GMA cut it off. Anyway, JANET IS HERE TO STAY!!!!! If you don't like her why watch. Either way she's got you intrigued otherwise you haters wouldn't care to watch or comment.

  • Yo know Adrian, I don't know why people are getting all crazy over whos is better and all that crap. I told myself that I am not gonna force feed Janet's new cd down anyone's throats. I love it and that is all that matters. I listened to that Cherri dennis on AOL and it is not grabbing me. She just doesn't really have nothing that makes her standout and it is sad they way Puff treats her but maybe she will do good. Only time will tell.

The dancing was hott long time ago, but her joints are dried up and she gets played by other sub-par singers/2 steppin dancers (*cough* CIARA *cough*). I'm over limited talent.

    ^^^^^
    Kae..u talk about JJ like she's a new artist. If this conversation was about Ciara..then it would make sense. But the fact that JJ already made it BIG years ago makes your argument almost pointless.

    Since you are stuck in the past with your affinity for NEO Soul..aka Baduizm...maybe you should go put on your Velvet Rope CD. 2008 is not for you.

SHE SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE RECORD......AND ALL THAT DANCING SHOULD FUCK UP HER "VOICE"... DISSAPOINTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE BUT WHO GIVES A FUCK....

  • Janet has to bring it and leave Gill alone, use him in the background, but she is very lovyal to her people, His moves aint all that, she needs to spice it up and get rid of that fucked up gear she had on from the hair on down, damnnnnnnn, however, I still love her.

  • A lot of singers use backing tracks doesnt mean they arent singing its a very common practice. Im disspointed with all the janet hate she is a legend she has earned the right to make music 4 as long as she wants and people are quick to take her respect but she was the black female that inspired ciara rihanna beyonce whether they confess to it or not

    What I don't understand is, if you're "over" limited talent, then why do you continue to take the time to comment on every blog about her? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I believe you've made your point time and time again - Kae we get it; you don't like Janet. Maybe it's just me, but if there's an artist that I just don't like, then I won't waste my time commenting on them, let alone trashing them.

    And NO, I'm not a stan. I'm just sayin...

  • Probably the only two albums that are worth getting are Algebra and erykah Badu. Janet owes some of her sucess/ fame from having the last name Jackson. There are probably a lot of ladies out there that can dance circles around her that have not gotten a break. People seem to put her up on a pedestal like she is the best female dancer / entertainer there ever was. Yes she should get some props but don't overdo it stans.

    Kae, I already know what type of blog this is, thanks. Like I said before, everybody is entitled to their own opinion; you must have missed that part. All I'm saying is, since you're "over" limited talent and only support "real" artists, then why waste time trashing Janet? Focus on who you consider to be the real artist then...
    Speaking of 'Miss E' as you put it, I actually already happen to be an E.Badu fan & got all her albums. I think she's great. She's very talented, creative, and entertaining as an artist......but that's just MY opinion on the "PUBLIC" "MUSIC" blog.....LOL
