Jermaine Dupri Gutted With Poor Janet Jackson Album Sales

...more Janet Jackson »

Janet Jackson?s seriously bad new album ?20 Y.O? may cause her man Jermaine Dupri to quit as president of the Virgin Urban division.

Dupri who produced Jackson?s flop record is placing the blame for poor sales at the door of Virgin marketing executives; Dupri believes that poor sales can be blamed on lack of radio play and bad marketing rather then bad songs.

It has also been rumoured that Dupri is considering whacking a Mariah Carey duet on a new version of the album to boost sales.

How embarrassing?

When is the ’Poof” tribute CD coming out? Hasn’t anybody told Jerry Dupri all things Jackson is showbiz poison? No? Now someone has. Thank Michael and his ’Hay-zoo” juice for the stain on Janet. I liked her better fat, too. Like Queen latifa on her way to Aretha Franklin. Who be working with Dem Disenfranchised Boyz now these days? And don’t take on Branson. He’s way too smart.

it’s the end of the jacksons as we know it, I feel fine; sorry about that, I can’t get that REM tune out of my head when it comes to Team Jacko. for all the jackson apologist on this site, shame on you all. you should blindly charge the record stores and spend your life savings on multitudes of this crappy CD for all the great things Janet has done for your psyche. Your all quick with the sword, but when it truley comes down to a purchase, your not as stupid as you all look.

Oh come on its truly that much of a flop it debuted at #2 and still has plenty of time to boost sales. It is a really well done album. It just needs a little more air play. For a woman whos videos are not played on MtV nor promoted. She does a spectacular job at selling records

America loves the Jacksons.They just like the White versions better than they do the originals.Justin and Britney have raped Michael and Janet’s entire style and sold millions in the process.So though AmeriKKKa won’t have Janet and Michael they will have people with just an ounce of their flair to worship and build up.

It’s so funny how people refer to Janet and Michael as if they are the SAME person... Team Jacko? My question is if your sister, brother or mother did something as reprehensible as what Michael Jackson is accused of would you-their FAMILY turn your back on that person? Nowhere is it written that she CONDONES cruel and malicious acts purpetrated against children or anyone else. Michael is GROWN. He will do whatever he wants regardless of Janet, The Jackson Family etc. Who are we to condemn?
