Janet Fans

A fan has created a compilation of amateur video footage uploaded by fans to video sharing site YouTube to show in full the first four songs of the Rock Witchu Tour. It’s definitely worth a watch so check it out below.

In a new interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine, Janet has raised questions over her future in music and said her newfound passion for behind-the-scenes television work is taking up lots of her time.

“I have been getting more behind the scenes with film and television. I will probably continue to do music and acting is still a strong passion of mine - but I really have been loving behind-the-scenes work: producing, directing and all the technical stuff.“

She also talks about her relationship with former record label Island Def Jam. She says whilst the label wanted her to slow things down and release music like Sade, Janet knew her dance tracks are the ones fans want to hear.

“They wanted me to sound more like Sade [and I said] I’m not ready for that just yet. I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me.”

When asked about her desire to have children, Janet replied:

“At some point it’s coming. When? I have no idea. He (Jermaine Dupri) has been past ready. He’s just waiting for me; I’m the one holding up the whole thing. Everyone tells me that there will never be a good time, that I will always be busy, but I just think when the stars are aligned it will happen.”

Janet has officially cancelled her Fort Lauderdale concert which she postponed during her illness on October 7th at the Bank Atlantic Center, according to the Sun Sentinel.

This is the second show which has been officially cancelled. There is still no official word on other postponed shows including Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Greensboro and Verona.

Janet attended an after party in New York City on Saturday night following her concert at Madison Square Garden. Accompanied by boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, Janet and her dancers partied until the small hours at Club Citrine in Manhattan.

Janet has officially cancelled her Uncasville, Connecticut show which was originally scheduled for October 11th, according to the Mohegan Sun arena.

The concert, which was postponed during Janet’s illness, was amongst others which included Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Greensboro, Ft. Lauderdale and Verona.

No annoucement has yet been made regarding those shows.

Janet’s brother, Jermaine Jackson, has said in an interview with Australian Associated Press that the entire Jackson 5 will reunite next year for a new album and a tour. He has further stated that Janet will be the opening act - something that Janet has spoken about in previous interviews.

“It is just the timing, so what we’ve been doing is working on the music and all the logistics. It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 … Michael, Randy and the whole family. … We’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year,” Jermaine said.

It is not yet known whether the show will actually go ahead as it has been spoken about for several months or what impact it will have on Janet’s possible plans to take her Rock Witchu Tour across the globe.

Janet cut a segment of her show in Detroit last night due to Michigan state law. The law, which prohibits simulated sex acts in a performance space, saw Janet remove the songs Funny How Time Flies (When You’re Having Fun), Any Time, Any Place and Discipline.
