‘Bazaar’ Uncovers Janet Jackson

‘Bazaar’ Uncovers Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson is taking the cover of Harper’s Bazaar January 2007 in a swimsuit… for winter. Bazaar (Singapore edition) gets the skinny on her life, her love, and that killer body. Keep in mind that this cover definitely looks like a mock-up, so this may not be the final version…

@Harlem J: I agree with that for the most part. I think that most people were expecting her to come back with a “Control”-like album, which obviously isn’t the case. My advice for her is to ditch JD (as her producer, don’t mind the couple). Since Dupri penned most of the tracks on her album, they all sound the same, except for a few gems not produced by JD (ie: Enjoy). Though Dupri blessed Mariah’s album, the formula’s obviously not working here. She needs to go back to the studio and rework the album and re-release like Shakira did.

Difference between Jermaine writing a song for Mariah and it being a success and then trying to write stuff for Janet and it flopping…. MARIAH CAN SING ALMOST AS GOOD AS WHITNEY. Janet is in the same gruop vocally as the JLos and Britneys. This is not rocket science here people.

I will be buying this issue.

It always amazes me to hear folks like Susie make constant mentions of Janet’s vocal ability or lack there of when voicing their opinions. Or the other folks who stress she is too old to either dress provacatively or dance for that matter. If you do not like Janet as an artist because she doesnt meet your taste whether it be her image or voice then say that…but to imply she is washed up, old, can’t sing, need to put clothes on, etc. is just plain STUPID!

First of all..the woman is an ICON in the music industry.

Nobody told Tina Turner to wear long dresses when she was still sporting mini-skirts at 50 or 60. So why knock Janet at the YOUNG age of 40 when she looks this good. Especially when it is a blessing for a 40 year old woman to look damn near better than most 20 year olds in the game. AND where is it written that a 40 year old should not dance? Thats crazy! Especially when she still dances better than (and I repeat)most 20 year olds in the game!

As for her voice…Janet’s vocal ability hasnt changed any. And won’t. So for those folks who are expecting Janet’s voice to all of a sudden be equivalent to that of the BIG voice female artists…let me be the one to break to you this NEWSFLASH. It’s not going to happen. And why should it? Hell….her small vocal ability, combined with years of amazing performances and countless Show-stopping concerts, videos that to this day still influence many of the newcomers in the game is what made her the ICON that she is today.

It just amazes me that the same folks that used to ride Janet’s ass back in the day now wanna bash her like she don’t posess an ounce of talent. And if that were the truth…who would be the fool here? Think about it because I am sure thats going to go over most people’s head.

Yall better act like you know. Ms. Jackson is fly!

ONE LAST NEWSFLASH…ALL MAGAZINE COVERS ARE PHOTOSHOPPED. ALL!

I totally agree with you, Page Black. Just because an artist doesn’t necessarily have the strongest voice, that doesn’t mean that he/she isn’t an artist. I’m a huge fan of Mariah, but I’d definitely rather put money down to see Miss Jackson perform live, than standing for two hours watching Mimi wave her arm around. Aaliyah, Ciara, etc. have rather thin voices, but they’re excellent performers.

The problem is that Janet keeps letting herself go year after year. If she leaves the public eye again, I’ll bet that she will gain a lot of weight again… and so on and so forth. She cannot keep doing this. In fact, that’s probably why she doesn’t look good. Some of you keep saying she looks great, but does she really? I don’t think so. Forget the photo above. That’s not her. In reality, she looks haggard. Her skin now has an ashy tone to it. She’s lost the beautiful golden brown glow she used to have. I blame most of it on her ridiculous dieting. Kudos to her for losing that weight, but did she have to be so extreme? That’s probably why she turns around and gains it all back.

Hey just because you are an icon or superstar doesn’t mean you get to go on forever. All good things must end. There comes a time when you need to make changes. Janet can still dance and put on a good show, but she needs to change it a bit. When she was younger and really sleek, she had a sexier look. All kinds of men were dreaming about Janet. I think those days are gone. She is not going to look like that again. I’m afraid she’s going to end up looking really bad because of her plastic surgeries. Michael and LaToya look horrible now.

here is the forum where her editorials are posted complete with the articles:

of course it’s retouched, it’s fashion magazine, duh…at least it’s better than that W magazine cover she did before.

20 yr-

From the last three we had nipplegate, we learned she loves sex-simulated sex on stage-videos became more raunchy-
I can’t speak for anyone but myself-but I collected Jacksons records and memorablia fir 30 years- about 8 years ago some Fan loved Janet so much, I packed up all of Janet’s stuff and sent it to her-She couldn’t give me a free copy of this last thing-I think she is one of the hardest workers in show business, is keenly aware of what her limitations are and is highly talented. With that said, She forgot the publicity side-The majority of Americans do not want to know about what you do in bed and what you like-or how you look with the majority of your clothes off. When I watch football, I want to see Peyton Manning’s golden arm throw the football-that’s what I buy-not his personal life-I want to see Denzel act-I don’t care about what goes on behind closed doors.
I appreciate Berry Gordy for preparing the stars at motown for the public and making sure their image was marketable. Janet needs to realize that she is a product. A total package- You cannot separate the music from the person and expect ppl to buy it-Don’t throw up on my CD and expect me to buy it anyway-JMHO

Right on about Janet Jackson and the sex talk. Completely turned me off. When people start talking like, “oh we have the best sex” and oh, we like to do it in the car” and “oh, I like to talk dirty”… I get suspicious. I think they are not ALL that! Usually it’s a sign of problems or a relationship that is on it’s way out. Look at what happened to stupid Britney Spears.
