Janet Jackson on Motherhood and Her Past Loves [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]

[@itsallaboutperspective3183]

If more interviews were conducted in this manner, we as fans could appreciate the essence & truth of the artist & not be suckers to speculation. Their personal lives belong to them & their talent is what they chose to share for our enjoyment. There's nothing like integrity. Thx!

[@beechrose7202]

Janet is so sweet and humble

[@debbiehampton3997]

That's the same thing I said, she is sweet and humble, I always said she is down to earth, I use to go to the J5 concerts in the early 70s and she said hi to us fans when she was 8 years old I was 16 years old we went to see the Jackson and there sisters when they we're do the TV series , they were at Westbury music Fair late 70s we notice Jermaine wasn't there he had already left the group ,Janet, Latoya join their brothers doing a tap dance routine, and Janet and Randy did Sonny and Cher act and Mae West the whole family was there Mrs, Jackson said hello to us teens Joe loved it the spot light. I am sure you know they all arev soft spoken and humble, Michael slam the car door and ran out saying hi to us teenager fan he was 17 years old , Marlon said hi to my girlfriend, to me they never change, except Michael he just was so bigger then life but a contagious smile and beautiful heart , I hope Janet recognized Jehovah a God she knew before coming famous, I said that because I am a servant of Jehovah , but you are right she is sweet and humble , may Jehovah be with Katherine, Michael and Joe and the rest of the family.May Jehovah be with everyone of us, we are close to the end. Just saying.

[@andriah8126]

Excellent questions. You can tell the interviewer did her homework or she's a big fan. Nice job. I've always wondered if there was a chance of her and Jermaine Dupri reconciling because they were so in love. She makes it clear here that when she's done, it's over. No go-backs. The interviewer was very strategic with the wording of the question.

.Andria H, Guts to be honest with introducing your question witch is also an important part of her personal life I DO NOT THINK THAT COULD assist ANY PAST story of a man who isn't prepared to learn about it, just would be amazing to get Janet Jackson answering come on a more responsive way towards parenting and feeling like an strong woman and talented as she is ...That is very difficult for the people also to see or understand how they did move after a so successful relationship with her even mentionng in fact In a public chanel I sawed...her suffer on something that she already grown of that for me is move from the darkness and allow what real make you pleased . Hope this happens when in the greatest sense of life accommodation of Love

@Michael D. Williams III good luck!!

[@KRWatkins]

OMG!! I had one of those Mommy moments yesterday evening. I was giving my son a bath and he was already a bit whiny & cranky from a long day at preschool, and he kept reaching towards me saying I wanna hold you. At that first moment I was like....aww, my baby may be 4, but he still needs me to hug him and show love and affection. Like Janet, I started motherhood later than most. I was 38 when I had my son, and motherhood definitely changes you!

I was gonna say the same thing. I too, thought the young lady who did the interview did a great job, and asked good questions. And Janet seem to be very open with her answers.

[@perfumetester10]

No questions or mention of her recently departed father, now that she is a mother (late in life 50) how did mother Katherine say..... what words of encouragement did she give as a mother of 9. Or what do you think michael what have thought. Those are good questions. Interviewer was average...... more inciteful questions needed.

[@nitelillie]

I'm a little surprised these Janet interviews are so average these days. But it's a lot that goes on past questions though I imagine. It's the interviewer dealing with work politics, off limit questions, and things interviewer forgot too. I agree....Janet interviews ain't like the 90s anymore when questions seemed targeted, fresh and ready....but different times then.
