Janet Jackson Turns 40
Janet Jackson Turns 40
It Takes 20 Years To Be This Good And 40 To Look Even Better!
The Rise, Fall And Anticipated Comeback of Janet Jackson
For Janet Jackson turning 40 has her feeling 20 years young. This according to her current beau, Jermaine Dupri who is also the associate producer of her up coming album to be titled "Twenty Years Old".
The album's title also marks the amount of years Janet has managed to reign the charts, set and break trends simultaneously and even spark a controversial debate nationwide. Indeed 2 decades in the industry marks a landmark where up and comers consider a successfull career to span merely 2 years!
Given all of her accomplishments to date, what's next for Janet?
Well, May 1st 2006 saw a surprise track released from Jackson's official website where she covers a remake of Debbie Deb's 80s smash, "Lookout Weekend". The release commanded a lukewarm response among fans prompting a statement from Jackson the following day reassuring them that the song was not on the new album but a surprise gift.
Perhaps Jackson's future success could be in resting on the laurels of the fan loyalty cultivated over a 20 year span. If that's the case, there's a lot of work to be done.
The disconnect between Janet and her fans falls out of the anticlimactic release of her previous Damita Jo album where a lacking connection to her fans saw the disbanding of her official fanclub at the end of 2005.
In typical fandom style, there is an air of alienation among a silent but ever present majority, longing for a more "approachable" and "sincere" songstress. Will this come with the new album? Time will only tell.
Despite the grim appearance, the silent majority that has been pampered by Jackson's high caliber projects for the past two decades are eagerly anticipating what she might have up her sleeve for this album. Despite the forum debates, there's a unanimous air that it's just about the right time for a great comeback!
