Daddy Joe Jackson Not Pleased With Janet's Album 20 Y.O.

Don't Hurt Em' Joe









Pappa Joe gone pull out that belt :) I'm not disappointed because Janet is more of a performer than a real singer. Somewhat like Ciara. So to me she's doing what she does best on her new album, being a studio singer.

During an interview to launch a new TV show, Joe Jackson had this to say.............

Jackson wasn't as pleased about the disappointing sales of daughter Janet's latest album 20 Y.O.
He said: 'Well, what I would've liked to have seen, is that when you're working with great star producers and doing great things with those producers, you don't change up.

'She did change up and you see what's happening now. I'm thinking her album would've been better if she had stuck with those producers.'

But right now, Jackson is saving his tips for his new proteges from the Hip-Hop Boot Camp project, which is scheduled to start in the US in March.

The show will also have an Asian spin-off, as hip-hop talents from Singapore and Malaysia can audition from January onwards for a chance to train under hip-hop experts in New York City.
It has been mooted that the top 12 contestants from both countries return to Singapore and compete on TV, Singapore Idol-style, for a recording contract.

Jackson and his business associates are currently promoting the concept to MediaCorp.
But a boot camp presided over by Jackson, who has a reputation for dishing out tough love, sounds scary.

'Now, why do they give that (label) to me? I don't know why they put me in that character,' he protested. 'No, it's not scary. It's like a learning process you have to go through to make it big in the entertainment field.'

So is he a slave-driver?
'No, I'm no slave-driver - I'm a driver,' he said, chuckling at his own joke. 'Anyway, we call that 'grooming' now.'
