Documentary: Janet Jackson on Lifetime

She claims this documentary is being told by her, about her "love it or leave it."  I just read a blurb leading up to the airing that she blames all the troubles Michael had on the downfall of her career.  That may be true in part, but I think it's mostly because her music wasn't that great.  Good thing she can do some acting too to get a paycheck.

 

This documentary will air on January 22nd on Lifetime Network.  I plan to watch (if I don't forget).Woman Tongue

Why would Michael's troubles be related to Janet's career?  Just innocently asking because I have no clue.

I, too, am hoping to watch this and hope I don't forget to schedule it once it hits the guide.   It looks interesting.

Imo, Michael's problems were his problems - don't think it had anything to do with Janet's lackluster career. Also, her singing was not great and neither was her choice of music.

Her album Rhythm Nation 1814 and also Control had some great music on them.

Re: Documentary: Janet Jackson on Lifetime

 Janet Jackson is setting the record straight about her life and career in her upcoming Lifetime and A&E doc.

 

The new extended trailer for Janet sees the singing superstar, 55, discuss the molestation charges against her late brother Michael Jackson. Her infamous Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction is also a topic — with Justin Timberlake reference — as is the long-running but denied rumor that she and first husband James DeBarge had a baby that she secretly gave up for adoption in the 1980s.

 

Janet is asked if the allegations against Michael hurt her career, she replied, "Yeah. Guilty by association — 'cause that's what they call it, right?"

Also liked "The Velvet Rope."  "Together Again" is a beautiful song, loved the video with all those gorgeous animals.

I've been to two of her concerts. Those were two of the best concerts I've ever seen in my life and I've been to many. I plan on watching her docu. I've been waiting a long time for it.

@riley1 "Also, her singing was not great and neither was her choice of music."

 

I agree with you.  I still don't know how she got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  I guess their standards have been lowered.
