It’s as if the tea leaves have fortunes typed right out on them…Janet Jackson parted ways with Island/Def Jam today, apparently at Janet’s behest. Rumors are already flying that she’s already looking toward Live Nation, which is looking at established record-and-touring artists, and that might be a good fit, but the press release hints at taking her time in finding a new home, and I can’t say that I blame her. Why rush the decision when you’re actually selling out shows? (LA and Vegas, to start) She’s now added another show to the tour, this time in Tulsa. Could Denver be far behind? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
[Janet…I know you’re out there somewhere. Call me. I’ve got some ideas.]
Stumble It!
Pop Music Notes 
I think it’s good for Janext to step away from the label system for a bit…. she’s probably not fully aware of the how much the label system has changed since her heyday, and the time on her own will be good for her.
Good luck, Janet. But don’t come back till your music stops being shit, luv.
I agree about the label system. She’s going to have to be a lot more creative in order to catch the public’s attention. But honestly, I don’t think it was the material this time around. I think it’s her freaky persona that’s been turning people off.
