I think if the Superbowl didn't happen, Damita Jo would have sold 4m-5m WW and ~2m in the US but who knows how the rest of the career would have panned out.

yeah it's a shame, I think if she was able to tour it would have really helped her.

More than anything tho, after AFY, Janet was just over it. Part of the reason she hasn't bounced back is because her past 3 albums have been lackluster.

There were reports that Janet was just phoning in Damita Jo. It was her 1st album since RN where she didn't contrite every song (save for covers)

pop is ****ing smorgasbord of everything that is popular at the moment.

@Lord Blackout, idk why but I loved that look. especially her hair and the make-up.

[iHype.]

Janet would have still flopped without a Superbowl.

She released a Lead Single with Khia. Clearly she doesn't care about her career. People just blame the Superbowl on it.

HOWGH is pop influenced lol. It's clearly radio friendly and I'm not debating that.

Kanye has released many pop friendly albums before Yeezus.

Pop fans like a hip hop act when he tries to cater to them (I know Adele is not a hip hop example to use, but just compare 19 to 21).

I'm done discussing this boring topic, and I'm still not racist.

You're showing musical ignorance. HoWGH is influenced by quiet storm. Not a pop song.

I called Beyonce an ape because I think she looks like one not because she's black.
I have never uttered a racist word in my life don't turn this reverse bull-**** around on me and try to label me of your own volition over your tired view of the world.
I don't care how many white people gilted your ugly ass during this life Granny Weatherall, because I aint one of them. Maybe they didn't dislike you because you were black and were like me and the rest of the world and hated you for your lack of self-restraint, poise, intellect, and honestly a lack of positive traits whatsoever.
Get a ****ing life jack ass.

oh yeah, Damita Jo is such a bad album which certainly didn't help matters. It was the first Janet album I listened to as well because of a rate I organized lol

That's not true.

Single "Just a Little While" was the first to be affected, being released shortly after the incident due to an early leak. On its release, it became the most added and played song on pop radio formats, increasing nearly five-hundred percent in airplay and also garnering "sizeable" digital downloads. The song was quickly removed from radio following the blacklist, virtually disappearing from airplay. Prior to the incident Janet was a mainstay at pop radio, with previous lead single "All for You" reaching number one for seven weeks, and her videos constantly in rotation on MTV.

not necessarily.

like Nippy said, Just a Little While was on it's way to become a hit and All Nite would have been a hit too.

In fact, 20 YO (w/ Khia) probably wouldn't have happened if the Damita Jo backlash didn't happen. We would have gotten a different album.

I read that they made her rush-release 20 YO because of Damita Jo's floppage.

So because Nicki is going to do a more rap-influenced album next time, her sales will go down? Where's the logic? If anything, her sales will go UP. Rap is what everybody wants from her right now & it's what she wants from herself. Why would she do pop music again like on PF:RR when she no longer feels like doing it & got a lot of negative feedback for doing so last time, despite the success of Starships?

Honestly, Nicki shines when she raps. She's also a great singer, but when she goes IN on a verse she's on a whole other level. She's incredibly gifted.

[Cap10Planet]

I do get the idea that Janet stopped caring about her career. The SNL cancellation, her tour abruptly ending, her returning to movies and hasn't released an album in 6 years. The Superbowl DID do a number on her. She couldn't handle the backlash and that resulted in her not caring about her craft.

Even though "Dark Horse" video is corny. The song still THUMPS.

They're pop friendly. Get over it!
