Look at “Why did I get married too.”

 

To be released in April 2010, from the previews it looks like an exciting and untraditional Tyler Perry film.  Not so much a comedy but an action drama.  People have been saying they want something different from Tyler and I think they might just get it this time.

Janet Jackson Number OnesCan Janet ignite from the shadows of Michael’s eclipse?

 

Is this an oxymoron or what?   Did Michael disappear or reappear.  What was supposed to be Janet’s turn, has become an ongoing saga of the King of Pop even after death?  It is unbelievable, Michael’s movie grossed over $100 Million worldwide with little promo and he still has over 200 unreleased songs and modern technology to assist the engineers.

 

However meanwhile, Janet Number Ones will be released on November 17th which includes 33 songs.  She had an unbelievable career so far, but she will always be Michael’s little sister, which is something to be proud about.

 

Also she has been doing the benevolent circuit helping raise money for the poor in need of clean water and the sick with AIDS. This has been done unnoticed by main stream media, but is wonderful acts of charity.

 

Most of the hype has been focused on her work in the studio, with her new to be released on the Number Ones CD “Make Me,” it’s hot.  She has been working with different producers, the latest being Rodney Jerkins.  There will be a music video to be added to the release of “Make Me,” said to be directed by Robert Hales who worked with Justin Timberlake to name a few, not to be as a reminder of the Super Bowl SNAFU.

 

But it looks like Janet is bouncing back nicely, with her new studio CD on its way and the creation phase and also a book to be released in 2010.  Janet is shining it is just hard to see it right now, because Michael is like ball of fire out in the stratosphere and Janet and nobody’s successes can be measured against this “Energy Blast.”  Janet is volatile and Michael an anomaly and both Jackson’s.   And there is no competition. 

Michael Jackson and Janet JacksonThe New Music Middle Class

 

There is not many more Michael Jackson or Janet Jackson’s created.  The days of the big budget transitions to mega hits are becoming too risky at best.  Sure there are a few big stars out there but are they as big as they seem or were they ever.  I mean is fame money or an expense.  Is success being surrounded by body guards at $250G a hit, being chauffeured in limousines and spending $500,000 on video to be seen at your cost, as music videos are still considered promos.

 

Radio shows are being simulcast; it like really few local DJ’s anymore, so where is all the money going?  It seems like a hand full of people is getting paid large at high tax brackets or not paid at no tax bracket.  But a strange thing is taking place in the music industry, evolving is a new middle class.  Very few people are selling a million CD’s, people are taking lessons from people like Tyler Perry and going back to building fan bases to old fashion way city to city and town to town.  People are recording on privately owned studios and self promoting their material.

 

To make a long story short, people are realizing that it is not worth having a multi-million dollar contract to clear $100G per year or even be in the red, when they can freelance and make $500G and have a life.  As we know so well there is a disparity between what a star makes and what they pocket after video recoup, producers, studio costs, taxes, security and all the stuff that comes with the package called a star..

 

 

Janet Jackson Bazaar CoverJanet Jackson about to Release her Best songs according to Charts

 

On November 17th, Janet will release a two CD set with her number one hits, which amount to about 46 songs, as she has sold about 100 million songs world wide.  This and the fact that she is about to release her 10th studio album and her new movie directed by Tyler Perry in 2010 is all but being suffocated by her dysfunctional personal life.  Sort of like I love him and I love him not? 

 

Janet Jackson & Jermaine Dupri reality internet presentation has become all boring and irrelevant.  Nobody cares anymore to include me, as I am moving down to a small city in Florida, where I am loved and appreciated; I got the women lining up, I just have to choose.  The way I see it Janet is not the brightest woman in the world, she looks alright but tends to get fat and I do not need her money to enjoy life and she showed little interest in me.   So as far as I am concerned she had her chance and blew it, so her and Jermaine Dupri can cut all the all talk and photo sessions and have a real affair that includes sex and have there little beautiful child?

 

Busy on a Mission

 

I know I have not been very entertaining as of lately.  There is so much going on and I have to prioritize my list of items.  I am about to move to Florida and it may seem by chance but it is not.

Time to act

 

Hyperlink Above

 

I have a lot on my plate right now and am in serious mode and mood.  There is a big picture that has to be fulfilled.  This may well be the beginning of something really big!

 

I plan to run a non profit organization that is charitable.  I have a small house and I am easy to satisfy, and in it there will have a home recording studio and down the block I have a two story office building to run the Headquarters for my non profit organization.  I am not blogging as much now because I am in the process of making my bed.

 

Food is food, sex is sex and love making is love making and Mariah “Obsessed,” Janet cannot starve me, there are simply too many fish in the sea, that look better and are smarter, perhaps they cannot sing and dance as well, but who wants a woman who is never home and always in the public eyes?  I can do much better than Janet, obsessed my butt Mariah.  If you see a mushroom cloud you will know why!  You reap what you sow!

 

 

Janet at amfARIs Janet Jackson Capable of Doing New Things

 

Janet was on the move for awhile, developing into a new franchise, she has a new book coming out, a new album and new movie coming out all in 2010.  People were starting to take her serious again.  She helped raise funds for amfAR in Milan, Italy.  Then the bombshell dropped like weight on her shoulders

 

Of all the people in the world she takes a photo with Jermaine Dupri, a well know media whore.  And she releases another sex song “Make Me.” Then everything she was doing was reduced whether or not she is dating him.  And will her album be the same old Janet about sex.  The focus went away from amfAR and her new endeavors, as mentioned above.

 

That one mistake may take months to fully recover, unless that is her man.  But the reality of the fact is was she/he ever her man?  Being the media whore that he is if there was a sex tape we would have all seen it by now, for his bragging rights.  I mean all they do is posing in photos and then his blog network takes it from there and post the same old crap over and over.  The so called 7 years relationship has been all about public photos and childish articles about them dating.

 

But like Renee said AKA Warrior Princess, Janet is not known for surrounding herself with wisdom, the 2004 Super Bowl is evidence.  But Jermaine knows Janet’s weakness, she loves to read about herself at any cost and be complimented and told how beautiful she is in and eye to eye conversation and people like Steve Harvey played on it also and it almost got her in trouble, because not everyone is a harmless punk like Jermaine Dupri.  But this mentality is hurting her career.  Janet has to be that late blossom flower she is and truly grow up.

 

 

Janet JacksonJanet Universal Music Group & Radio Airplay

 

During the Rock Witchu Tour I bought about all of Janet’s albums I did not already own and ended up with two “All for You” CD’s by accident, because I already had it.  However I think they blew a great opportunity; people like me never ever downloaded a song. Personally I buy the CD and convert it to MP-3 and keep the hard copy for storage and stereo use.  Yes I still listen to my stereo at home

 

If they would have made it a free download some people would have downloaded for the first time, to get the hang of it, plus it was billed a gift.  It could have been a reintroduction of Janet.  Good thing Universal Music Group is distributing it.  That leads me another question, being she is being released by Hip-O Records and A&M Records both Universal Music Group companies and was with Def Jam a Universal Music Group Company.  Which leads me to ask is Janet really independent or in-between record label?  With all the Janet Hype, I would not be surprised if she is released again by a Universal Music Group Company in the future.

 

Furthermore I still have not heard the song on the radio, whereby when I am not on the home recording studio my favorite pastime is listening to the stereo and radio and messing with one of my computers sometimes at the same time.  I normally buy only my favorite artist these days unlike in my younger days when I bought all the hits, but I spend hours on the radio being at home or on my MP-3 Player on the move and I purchase consumer goods on a regular.  Commercials still influence my purchases or spending habits.

 

My Point:  Janet Jackson’s marketing team might be barking down the wrong tree, she needs radio airplay exposure, because that is what we do now.  We listen to the radio and buy bread and milk.  Janet’s main market is the radio and not digital downloads.  We are grown already!

Janet Janet Jackson Greatest Hits Album to be released

 

Janet Jackson’s number ones greatest hits album a 2 CD set is to be released on November 17th, 2009.  It will be released on Hip-O Records a part of Universal Group, founded by Doug Morris in 1996.  Actually I have all of Janet’s albums, which I am aware of.  The funny thing is if you ever heard her best songs successively it is a great experience.  There are supposed to be a few new songs on the two CD set.

 

However I doubt if everyone has all of Janet’s albums and this is a chance to get up on her best songs, in a small package.  As Hip-O Records are known for putting out stuff hard to get a hold of and often puts out limited editions, being that is their Modus operandi (Protocol).  I mean the etiquette for dealing this type of repertoire is that the demand exceeds supply. 

 

There are presales taking place now, but there will probably be a limited amount of CD’s available at the local record stores and via the Internet on the day of the release.  I do not know I guess the die hard Janet fans have most of her stuff and will be in it for the new releases.  But for those who really do not know what all the hype is about Janet, people who want to know what the 80’s and 90’s was all about and want to enjoy a beautiful musical variety do not blow the opportunity of getting a copy of these CD’s, I guarantee you it will become a part of your rotation.  Janet is an amazing artist and I think she has another run.

 

Now on the other hand I have to say I was disappointed with the decision to go digital download for sale with “Make Me.”  It was billed as a gift and should have been a free download; however it will very likely be on the new greatest hits album.  But really I thought it was a gift as in something giving away.

 

 

Janet Jackson MILAN, ITALY - SEPTEMBER 22Janet Jackson arrives in Milan, Italy for amfAR Charity event

 

Janet Jackson recently arrived in Milan, Italy to chair at an amfAR charity event, as they try to raise funds and awareness.  There are a lot of organizations that operate on the frontlines of the battle against AIDS and are proportionately well funded, providing things like housing, counseling and the essentials to better living.

 

However, amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) is disproportionately under-funded receiving a small amount of the money spent on AIDS Research.  Whereby if there was an intelligence department in AIDS Research they are it, as in over a period about 25 years founded in 1985 they spent about $300 million on their mission.  However there were over 25 million deaths due to the complications of AIDS and at least 33 million infected as of this day.  People are living longer with AIDS now, but it is still for most a death sentence.

 

Yes it is important to serve those underserved in society such as People Living with AIDS, but the only real hope is in finding a cure to eradicate this dreadful disease.  And that is the mission of amfAR.  I think with the promises of Stem Cell Research there should be a resurgence of enthusiasm and not settling for just treatments that ultimately leads to death, but an actual cure.

 

There was a recent BUZZ stating that there is a female contraceptive ring that can prevent the transmission of AIDS, so there has been real progress in AIDS research.  Hopefully a cure will be found in the life time of the many infected people as of this day.

Janet JacksonAIDS Ribbon Red and BlackamfAR is proof people have succumbed to AIDS

 AIDS Awareness

The Foundation for AIDS Research was founded in 1985 and since they have invested nearly $290 Million on its mission.  We are talking about an average of about $10 million per year for 25 years.  Yet this diseased killed over 25 million people, with over 33 million infected.  A better calculation would be about $10 per fatality or $3 or $4 per causality.   We are talking about an organization that spends close to 71% towards its objective of 71 cents to a dollar and I think that is very aggressive and phenomenal.

 

We are talking about an organization full of celebrities affiliations, yet there is not International Anthem sung in there behalf, there is not concerts in there behalf, there is just a bunch of silent watchers.  It is time to blow amfAR up, with the promise of Stem Cell Research, AIDS Research promises to reach a new height.  It’s time for a song and a concert, a movie and celebrity promotions on TV and radio.  We cannot afford to sit silently and watch people die unnecessarily.  We have to show hope, that hope be a reality.  The Foundation for AIDS Research does not need celebrity money it needs your time and talents to generate awareness of the current agenda, then the money will follow.  What Janet Jackson is doing is honorable and more should follow suit.

 

Janet and MadonnaJanet and Madonna should Duet for the AIDS Cause

 

According to a 2007 estimate over 25 million people died from complications due to the AIDS virus and over 33 million people were infected.  I cannot think of a better way to commemorate Michael Joseph Jackson than to try to help these people, by recording what may well become the International anthem for the AIDS cause.

 

I personally wrote a song that would take no more than a couple of hours out of their busy schedule to perform.  Sure the producers and engineers would have to put time into it, but there are just a few lines to be sung, but the song carries a powerful message.  It is a song about AIDS and the need for a cure, which has a few spins that will be done after they lay their vocals.

 

I auditioned the song with an unbiased audience, which were family and friends who almost never agree with me, and the consensus was the idea behind this song is totally original and it needs to be put out there.  I think half of the proceeds from the song should go to AIDS Research as a gift from Madonna and Janet to the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR).

 

The song is up tempo and suitable for both Janet and Madonna’s Genre of music, it has a powerful Pop and R&B appeal and the song is perfect for the clubs.  Janet and Madonna has a calling, to bring back the attention to the urgency of curing this dreadful disease.  Perhaps they could get sponsors to put out a music video to break the code behind the song.
