Janet Jackson's Ship Must Be Sinking If She Collaborated With Ciara-- Plus, Where Is JD?

Damn Janet....



I know all the fans will be like... oh this remix is hot, but those are the same fans who think Ciara is biting off Janet.

Whatever the case.... this "remix" whether official or unofficial is not a good look for Janet considering just last year Ciara went out of her way to say she ain't want nothing to do with Janet.

I am sure this wasn't Janet's idea.

"Feedback" Remix featuring Ciara of all people...



Meanwhile... where the hell is JD?
Well a video surfaced yesterday of him all involved in Mariah Carey's project.

Check out this video filmed in Mariah's Tribeca pad.... Mariah is soooooooo that chick!

The lambs have been waiting on a single.... this will do as they continue to push back Mimi's single till the figure out what to do with Janet Jackson....


Feedback anyone? I know y'all got plenty to say.

It's my understanding this is fan or DJ created ... I don't think it's official. And aside from that, Ciara and her adam's apple can go suck a fat one. Swagger jackin' heffa. Next.

Damn! mariah sexy......hope the album coming along good!

stop hating ciara did not go out of her way of saying shit and ciara made feedback a whole lot betta period

Well the song is getting talked about again since Ciara got on the remix because before that it was starting to fall down the Hot 100(the only chart that matters)!

Britney Houston worked that video betta than Janet.....

Do you like MY style??

Ciara is kool...I mean, she did say she wants to do it like a boy!!

Maybe should go for the real thing and give Britney Houston a ring!

I like the original better but I don't know what Janet has to do to get love from Radio It seems like she being blacklisted for real.

Someone new needs to come out, and create a new sound, im tired of these played out chickz.

I don't know what to say. Both voices are weak as water. I do like Ciaras rap.

Wow...lots of hate.

Like both songs.

That's just me.

...and I think the remix is good. Good concept if only Ciara sounded like she was in the actual recording opposed to recording over it....

sounds great though.

Ciara kufi smacked your mama

she is the best singer for now you idiot ass haters

What janet needs is a hit single - something that can't be dismissed or overlooked. That's how you get back on the radio. Dance music like "Feedback" isn't really radio friendly - and I'm not sure I'd call this a dance track to begin with. Radio is all about pop/r&b/rap these days. Country is its own thing. Deciding to go "back to the clubs" is deciding to not have your stuff played on the radio. "Feedback" aint doing squat here in Chicago, even though I play it on the ride home sometimes. She needs to get back with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and get back to "her" sound instead of chasing these trends. It's been downhill creatively since the Velvet Rope, even though All For You was a hit album. I'm a fan, but she's 40 and still trying to do 20 something music. It was cool when she got all sexy and was exploring her sexuality on record, but she's been doing that since 1993's janet. She needs new material that's a bit more subject matter and age appropriate. Madonna faced that same sort of backlash a couple of times in her career, but she was constantly able to reinvent herself and stay somewhat relevant. Janet's still stuck in 1993 and lots of things have changed since then, but you wouldn't know it by her music."What About" was the last socially conscious track I heard from her and that was like 97/98. Feedback and the leaked tracks from yesterday can all be dismissed by radio. Janet's gotta have an "Umbrella", "Bed", "Be Without You", "Yeah!", "We Belong Together", "Irreplaceable" type of massive hit to get back on radio. Those were songs that, from the first time you heard them, you knew they were hits. So far, I haven't heard anything remotely close to that from her new material.

Don't like the remix! Never liked Ciara and Damn Janet can't catch a break it seems like the dust from the Superbowl will never settle. I am a fan for life and I loved the two new tracks especially LUV!!

They both sound kind of sound like each other.

let me get this right ... u r saying that Ciara made Janet look bad ?!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!

Man T Pain done fucked the RnB game up. this ugly nigga made it cool for every singer in the world to use Audio Tune. I swear we have no more leaders only fucking sheep.

@ CINDA
Bitch Please... who died and made you a critic... the song is hot... without Ciara...

its ok, but I'm a fan of all the divas(Janet,Mariah,Celine, Madonna, And yes Whitney God bless her). I know Janet will have betta sales this time and she has the tour to fall back on as well so it will be a good year for her. Mariah will still out sell them all though.

@ A3WILLIA

Every song you named is unoriginal and sounds the same.... actually they all sound alike.... Black Americans cannot step outside the box when it comes to music and creativity.... give it a rest please.... the radio sucks and you all are slaves... to what they tell you is hot.... You are an asshole and don't know anything about Janet,.... You are not a fan.... she is not stuck and Janet has not aged.... JAY-Z is damn near 40 and I bet yo' bitch ass still rocks to his overused shit....

Lastly, it's comical how you believe that in order to make a hit it has to be played on the radio.... grow the fuck up and stop trying to be something you're not.... a critic.... you are a radio slave....set yourself free asshole

Soulman I am dissapointed in you. I know you have to have ratings on your blog, but to go out of your way to diss Janet by using Ciara is low. Both women did thier thang. Ciara never made Janet look good. More like a young artist giving respect to an ICON. Ciara has her own style and stop calling her a male. I don't care what anyone says Ciara is not the only woman influenced by Janet. Aaliyah, Beyonce, Britney, Cassie, TLC and the list goes on. The only reason Janet is not getting airplay on the radios is because of the SUPERBOWL incident. The YTs will sh!t on blacks anytime of the day. Just look at Justin they let him walk around prancing and being cocky. Dissing Janet and Prince on his songs. We all know that joker is a coward.

damn my man em hit that...love this broad but yo who decorates they crib wit magazine covers of theyself? i understand havin like a section or wateva of ur magazine covers but who has them spread throughout they crib? dont get me wrong id wax that ass no problem but she dont got no ass to be showin her shit off

you guys are such dumb fucks! Obviously they just took out some of Janet's lines and had Ciara sing them instead. That don't sound like much effort so stop hatin' punk ass! Everybody know radio is still scared to play Janet cause of 4 years ago which goes to show how blacks are still treated. I bet your ass has a Justin Timberlake cd in your car don't you? Get a real job and stop hating on your fellow blacks especially an Icon that your fonky ass grew up listening to as if they are doing something horrible you idiot!

Mariah is completely wonderful, thank you so much for posting the video on your blog.

BET execs hang with artists like that ??? guess we'll know who'll be #1 on 106 when her song comes out

@blaquejoey
You're just like the other sheep that don't want to get a dose of reality.

Look, the sad truth is that the musical climate is passing Janet by. What A3willa said was the truth. Janet has been chasing trends for years and people are too stupid to pick up on it. She's 41 and shouldn't be doing music like that anymore. Why should she compete with the Beyonces and the Cieras at her age? This situation is gonna play itself out like Diana Ross' when she tried to go for the youth audience back in 1989 with Workin' Overtime only to fall flat on her face and being blackballed by MTV can't be used as an excuse this time. Janet needs to either do some mid-tempo grooves or go back to Jimmy and Terry to bring back her old sound.

Feedback and the remix wasn't a good look for Janet from the word Go

Some of yall bitches need to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! Damn does Janet "ship" have to be "sinking" just to work with somebody???? Fuck all yall hoes hating on Ciara!!! Ciara is HOT and Janet is HOT!!!! The remix was EXTRA HOT!!!! Its not even all that serious. Just enjoy the fuckin music OR keep your hating ass movin. Cuz dont nobody have time for ya BULLSHIT!!!!!!

Dammmmn, Soulman, is this a shot at Ciara? Last time I checked, "Like a Boy" did much better than "Feedback" is doin now. Seems like somebody owes Ciara a thanks...

JD DONT LET THIS HATER F*CK UP THAT MONEY.. YOU AND I BOTH KNOOW THAT A VIDEO FOR THIS WOULD SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.

DON'T LET THE HATERS WIN.

Another Stan with hurt feelings!

I love Janet and I like Ciara; but I think the two of them together is a great idea. The remix is tite......Janet always remixed songs with other people, so why is this any different...People are just looking for ways to bring a rip between two women...let it go and enjoy the remix. I love Feedback; but the remix got me more interested in the song honestly....

Bitch eat a dick!!!!

Haters all around us... damn, we just can't stop hatin' on one another. Janet is a L E G E N D... she has broken boundaries and crossed barriers with her M U S I C. She can whatever the fuck she want... and she chooses to do music and it's still bangin' ever'time she releases a cd. and Ciara is off the chain (OH was the *ish and still is...) I haven't heard the remix but some of ya'll need to have yo hate put in check.

@ Shone Jones

You dumb fuck.... You are not a fan of Janet's.... I can tell... First off.... BITCH! Janet has not chased trends...she has created them.... secondly, who says that she is competing with anyone? Maddonna dropped her album Ray of Light @ 42 and she still had dance trax and alot of house and was never told "she's too old".... Furthermore, she's now working with Timbo' and she's 50!

Lastly, you are a hatin' ass queen... who hopes dailey that Janet fades due to your own insecurities about your favorite artist.... THEY SAID THE SAME THINGS ABOUT TINA TURNER WHEN SHE DROPPED WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT.... AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!!!! GET OVER IT!!!! JANET'S BACK! IN FACT, THEY ARE PLAYING HER ON MTV...YOU DUMB BITCH!!!!!!

CIARA DID JANET A BIG FAVOR CUZ NOBODY GAVE A DAMN ABOUT THE ORIGINAL VERISION SO YALL SHUT DA FUCK UP PLEASE!!!!!!!! CIARA AINT DID SHIT TO NOBODY SO STOP HATIN ALL THE MUTHAFUCKIN TIME GODDAMN!!! CIARA IS DOIN HER THING THIS JANET 10TH TRY TO MAKE A COME BACK SINCE THE 80'S LET DA SHIT DIE! CIARA AINT TRYNNA BE NOBODY BUT HER DAMN SELF! AND SHE MUST BE DOIN A GOOD JOB CUZ YALL CANT KEEP HER NAME OUT YALL MUTHAFUCKIN MOUTHS!!!!!!!!! HATERS GET A FUCKING LIFE QUEEN OF SOUTHERN R&B IS HERE TO STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Ciara... she seems so sweet!

I don't know what you are talking about: Feedback is a HOT song. I don't care if it hits the charts or not, it's one of my favorite JJ songs. And the video is unbelievable ... I love the "milky way" set. Unreal! Join me at www.icatharsis.com if you'd like to discuss this with me further. Luv BFD

AT THE END OF THE DAY JANET HAS HAD ABETTER CAREER THATN ANY OF U FUCKS AND SHE RICHER THAN ANY OF YOU FUCKS. SHE STILL HAS A CAREER REGARDLESS OF A NUMBER 1 SINGLE THAT SHYT DON'T ALWAYS MATTER ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU'VE A LIKE 20 PLUS ON EACH CHART IN YOUR CAREER. COME ON NOE JANET HAS BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT. SHE'S NOT A NEW ARTIST RETARDS CHECK HER STATS

I love me some J. I really hope her next CD is given a chance.
