Janet says IDJ will no longer promote Discipline

Janet has said in an teleconference interview with several bloggers that she does not expect there to be any further single releases from Discipline. She also speaks of her wish to come to promote the album in Europe but the lack of support she received from her record label means that it never happened.

On the next single:

“That’s pretty difficult to say, only because of the record label at this point. We started off with “Feedback” and the label and myself haven’t quite seen eye to eye since the “Feedback” single so they’ve kind of basically stopped all promotion. I’m trying to figure out a way to say this, but just to say it and to be quite honest, they just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album so I don’t think you’re going to hear another single off this album.”

On the Rock Witchu Tour:

“It’s a completely different show, like nothing before in the past. My real goal is to try and do every single I’ve ever had… so I have to figure out how to fit that into two hours and yet give them enough so they don’t feel hungry for more of that song in particular.”

On why she chose the name Rock Witch U:

“It’s fitting to me, fitting to what the show will be like. It’s a dance show, it’s all upbeat I want it to be a party onstage, a party in the arena. I’ve always said when people come to these shows I want them to forget about all their problems all the drama in their lives and just have a good time, just let it go for a couple hours and bring some happiness into their lives. It’s going to be one big party, I want to ‘Rock Witchu.'”

On not coming to Europe:

“I just want to let the fans know because I’ve been reading a lot what the bloggers have been saying about the record and not hearing it on the radio and stuff like that, so I just wanted to let them know where things were as well and where it was all coming from. I’ve heard people talking about me not coming to Europe in support of the record just to let them know that it was definitely in my heart to go to Europe and to support this album but it’s about teamwork, it’s not something I can totally do on my own. Unfortunately things have turned out the way that they have with the differences between the label and myself, which we have been having for the most part from the beginning. So I just want to tell them again thank you very much for all the love and all the support and I they understand the entire situation and I’m really excited to see everybody on tour. I’m really looking forward to that it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

JanetWiki.com: Contribute and win

Janet Love today announces the launch of a brand new website – JanetWiki.com. Completely new and completely blank it needs YOUR input. It’s designed to be a Janet only version of popular website Wikipedia; a place where fans can research facts about Janet and add to existing information.

In order to encourage its growth, Janet Love is giving away 10 rare copies of the UK Feedback picture disc to the 10 people who contribute the most to Janet Wiki over the next 30 days. So get writing!

There’s very much an emphasis on Janet Wiki being written by fans and therefore it’s down to the fans as to whether it succeeds or not.

Each week we are going to set targets for articles that need writing. These are the priority and anything else you add is a bonus. You can find the week’s targets on the main page of JanetWiki.com.

Nothing is too trivial for Janet Wiki. From tour dates to chart positions the aim is to get everything on there over time. If each fan writes just a few pages then the site will grow to become the best resource for Janet facts on the internet.

This means the emphasis is very much on you and each and every contribution is welcome. There is no editorial intervention except in instances where material may be deemed offensive and as the site grows, a set of standard formatting will be reached.

So head over to JanetWiki.com now and get writing and editing!

My favourite Feedback fan video

Without a shadow of a doubt, out of all the fan videos I’ve seen, this submission to Janet’s contest by BoogieZone is the best.

The 10-minute short dance film features a great mix of Janet tracks and so much effort and thought has clearly gone into it.

Well done to all involved. Watch it below.
