Day: 29 January 2004

Janet today attended a press conference to promote the half-time show for the Super Bowl on Sunday. The show, which airs to a potential audience of 1 billion worldwide, will see Janet take to a 120-foot stage.
The stage will have to be constructed in about 7 1/2 minutes and dismantled in six minutes. Some 350 local volunteers have been charged with the task.
Janet did not speak about the show and simply appeared at the end of the conference to pose for photos with the other stars, P Diddy, Kid Rock and Nelly.
Meanwhile, Janet’s boyfriend Jermaine Dupri revealed to Access Hollywood that Janet could be performing more than two songs.
“My girl’s doing the halftime show. I’ve been to rehearsal with her everyday. It’s something to see,” he revealed. “There are a lot of dancers. But I can’t expose all the secrets. You got to see it on game day.”
However, Jermaine did divulge that Janet will be performing more than one song.
“I heard three or four,” he said.

Jessica Simpson will introduce Janet at the Super Bowl half-time show on Sunday, MTV reports.

MTV’s 12-minute program will commence with a short film, and then one half of the world’s most popular newlyweds will call for the party to start. From there the Houston native will hand it over to fellow hometown favorites Texas Southern University and the University of Houston. The TSU Ocean of Soul marching band and the UH Spirit of Houston Cougar marching band will unite as one, coming with their instruments blaring and feet stomping, leading the way for Ms. Jackson.

Although the bands have different styles — with TSU moving with a pump-and-drive, high-knee marching style and U of H using the more traditional heel-to-toe method — they’ve been able to meet in the middle.

“It’s working out fine,” affirmed TSU Band Director Richard F. Lee. “We have two different styles but we move the same distance at the same time; eight steps every five yards.” Lee and UH band director David Bertman will share the reins on Sunday.

After seeing videotapes of the bands, Jackson was eager to work with both squads so she could bring something new to the table for her halftime performance.

“Me and Janet thought it would be great to change one of our numbers and introduce a drum line into our routine,” Jackson’s choreographer, Gil Duldulao, said Tuesday. “This is different because I know a lot of band members aren’t dancers. So I’m happy to have the time beforehand to teach and sort of lead them in the direction that I feel is perfect for what we’re doing onstage.”

Janet will be backed by 26 dancers, 360 regular band members and a 60-person drum line. Each school has an equal amount of people playing.

“I don’t think the Super Bowl has ever seen a performance like this,” Duldulao added. “The dancing is great. She’s more stylized, she’s more feminine, she’s more a woman as she dances this time around. There are some shocking moments in there too. It’s a lot of pressure, there’s so many creative people and creative artists, you want to make sure everything is different, and I think she’s going to do that. She’s doing her job well.”

Dear Janet Love visitor,

It is with deep regret that I write to inform you that Janet Love fell victim to a hacker last night. Every file on the server was deleted and all the data was lost permanently.

Luckily when the site moved servers a few days ago, I created a back up of all the material on the site. Please bare with me while I try to restore everything to how it should be, but as you appreciate it will take a little while.

Janet Multimedia will be back online as soon as I can configure it again.

In the meantime, please join me in saying a BIG FAT “FUCK OFF” to the bastard who did it 🙂
