A new interview with Janet is in today’s British broadsheet The Observer supplement The Observer Magazine. Entitled “I’ve finished talking about Michael.

There are few things in this world more embarrassing than being forced to dance in your chair. This realisation comes to me on a drizzly morning in Manhattan when I find myself in a roomful of earnest music journalists and record executives being played seven tracks from the new Janet Jackson album. We are seated in a large corner office at Island Def Jam Records, surrounded by orchids and ornamental cigar boxes. As each new song is pumped out at ear-splitting volume, a strange competitiveness sets in as to who can appear most in tune with the music.
An internet reporter from France performs a number of semi-epileptic contortions in time with the thumping bass. Two girls from the record company, each holding a giant Starbucks coffee, wiggle as if their promotions depend on it. I am trying to execute a strange gyration in a cream leather armchair, my head jerking back and forth like a chicken pecking the ground for stray corn. It is reminiscent of uncomfortable school discos where girls and boys sit on opposite sides of the assembly hall desperately bopping from the waist upwards in an attempt to appear nonchalant yet devastatingly rhythmic.
Janet attended at Clive Davis’ Grammy party last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The reception and dinner saw Janet mingle with the likes of Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Fergie, Rodney Jerkins and Brits Natasha Bedingfield and Leona Lewis.
