They are abandoning "Feedback" and moving on to another single. This means it will do anything but climb the Hot 100 again. Her album lead-off single missed the Top 50 of the Hot 100. Even "Amercian Life" made #37. Wow. |

I hate that they're abandoning Feedback. Why not do some performances, introduce people to it. Ugh I hate when they go all Nicole Scherzinger on new releases. |

They aren't bad songs at all, but there's a still more than a whiff of mediocrity about them. |

Yeah, it's a bit clubby. Alas, it's much too melodically subtle to make any impact on Europe either. It's not going to be a hit anywhere. |

I just read in Music Week that Janet's "20 Y.O." sold just 12,000 copies in the UK. Bloody hell!

A French television news website is reporting that Janet will be performing at the "Star Academy 7" finale on Friday, February 15. "Star Academy" is the French comparison of "American Idol" and "X Factor." |

Why is she even bothering in France? DJ and 20 Y.O. both missed the Top 20 in France and plummeted after the horrendous debuts they did manage there. |

Even TCT and IGTTYAS both did more than that in their first weeks. Yet you still have Janet loons saying: GO JANET! QUEEN OF POP!! YAY!!

ROLLING STONE REVIEW OF DISCIPLINE Janet Jackson Discipline RS: 3.5 of 5 Stars Average User Rating: Not Rated 2008 Janet Jackson has abandoned the plastic R&B of 2006's 20 Y.O. for a sexier brand of digitized megapop. On her Def Jam debut, the beats are as crass and processed as Jackson's heavy breathing, so she sounds more like a sex droid than a blow-up doll, which is way hotter — for starters, sex droids show more initiative. When Janet brags she's "heavy like a first-day period" on "Feedback" or sings in a scrunched-up robot voice that she's "So Much Betta" than your girl, all the amateur competition should just pack up their Webcams and go home. Discipline's mechanized thump flatters producer Rodney Jerkins, who slams down the high-voltage money shot "Feedback" and the Jam-Lewis homage "Rollercoaster." The slower, slinkier stuff is left to Ne-Yo, who's so excited to be working with a real, live Jackson that he even calls one song "Rock With You." Essential to the album's fantasy world is its lack of references to the real-life woman behind the mike. (No one really wants to think that it's Jermaine Dupri she's inviting to "strum [her] like a guitar," right?) So by the time Janet's murmuring, "Daddy, I disobeyed you," on the masochistic title track, you can dismiss any images of the abusive Jackson clan that flit into your mind. Just lie back and enjoy the sensations as pure aural autoeroticism. |
