Someone went to Janet and wants to talk about it - read the review now

Lookin Fine.

So we, unfortunately, did not score tickets to Janet's all-conquering (read: not at all conquering) tour.  However, one of our friends did, and he was super excited to tell us about it this morning.  His name is Tim D. and this is how our conversation went:

SS:  Hello Tim.

TD:  Hello Scopitone Saturday.

SS:  You went to Janet and we'd like to ask you a few questions about it.  First and most importantly, is she fat?

TD:  No.

SS:  Would it have been better if she was fat?

TD:  No.

SS:  Good.  So it was "sexy Janet."  Please go on.

TD:  My date liked her "short lesbian haircut."

SS:  Well in the interest of not offending anyone we will try to remember to change "short lesbian haircut" to something more culturally sensitive in the final article.  But for now let's talk more about the concert.  Did she dance a lot?

TD:  Yes.

SS:  Were her dancers hot?

TD:  I don't know.  I only remember her dancing with a couple of girls up on stage.

SS:  That explains the lesbian haircut. 

TD:  Yes. She did dance with guys though.  I just don't really remember that part.

SS:  Were you high?

TD:  No but I was very drunk and I think my date was too.

SS:  You seem to be bringing up your date a lot.  Did it not go well?

TD:  Not particularly, no.

SS:  I'm sorry to hear that.  Do you think he was using you for the tickets?

TD:  Not until you said that, no.

SS:  Well did you at least get some action?

TD:  No. But I think he has a developmental disorder of some kind so I'm ok with it.

SS:  Well that's probably a good way to think about things.  It's easier to cope with rejection when you vilify the person.

TD:  That's very true.  You are very insightful.

SS:  Thank you.  So now some final thoughts about the concert:  First, what was the best song?

TD:  'What Have You Done For Me Lately' because it's what I was thinking about my date.

SS:  And the worst song?

TD:  'Black Cat' because she didn't sing it and my date talked about it for 2 hours.



......So there's that then.  And here's a video.

Janet Jackson goes all 'Nothing' in new video - watch the premiere now!

Janet Jackson hasn't had an actual hit in a very long time.  This new track could change that, though, as it's a quite listenable ballad that wouldn't seem too out of place in the early 90's and therefore makes ScopiSat very happy.  'Nothing' is from Jackson's new movie, 'Why Did I Get Married Too' and features AMAZING LOW BUDGET EFFECTS along with some random clips from the film.  Again, early 90's.  Ah, the good old days...

In any case, it's pretty much 'Again' mk II, and really doesn't break any new ground whatsoever.  Still, it's nice and has a good little hook.  Chalk this one up as a win.  



Also there are shoulderpads.  Epic, epic shoulderpads.

Janet Jackson pretends to sing on the X Factor - watch the performance now

Today nothing is happening and ScopiSat has a law school final so lets all relax and watch Janet do things on stage to music.



That was nice wasn't it.

Janet Jackson's 'Make Me' video reminds us how good she can be - watch now

This track, taken from Janet's new Greatest Hits (my, there are a lot of those being chucked out these days aren't there) isn't up there with her best, but the video certainly isn't half bad.  At best it is pretty damn good, and at worst it reminds us what Miss Jackson does best.  With a new album out in 2010, things are definitely looking up!

Janet Jackson has a new song out and we totally didn't notice - listen now

Ok so this is actually already out on iTunes in the US, so we totally missed the America boat. Considering it's now a month on from its release, so did everyone else. However, JJ is gearing up to chuck it out in the UK next month, so lets give it another listen shall we?



Well that was about 1/3 of a great song and a whole lot of filler.

Out now in the US, Out Nov 23 on Polydor in the UK
