If Europe cancellation is about records sales bad excuse
To: Janet
From: Paul
If this cancellation is about the Discipline record sales in Europe that is a poor excuse to neglect you fans over there. You have to look at the sales of all of your singles over the years, because that is what the tour is really about. It is not about Discipline but is all about you and your great and rich history as an artist.
There are people who sell the hell out of concert tickets and sell way less than Discipline on a regular basis. People like Patti Labelle and Tina Turner are great examples of people who have a fan base that loves them but does not buy millions of their records on a regular basis. But Tina is expected to turn over $60 million on her upcoming tour.
You have been fortunate in your career to sell 100 million records world wide, I say again world wide. People miss you and want to see you and the promotion of Discipline is not of their concern, you cannot force people to like something they do not like enough to pay $12.99+ for, but you better believe your fans have your CD, there is a thing called the black market by the way. And sometimes people do not like something about the situation or sound that they choose not to support the project commercially. But they play it on their MP-3 anyway.
For the last 5 years all you have been was bad publicity, with a boy in your arms trying to do a man’s job. What happened to you could have never happen with you in my arms. You got played, abuse and used and had nobody to take your back, but now I am here for you and it is up to you to use what I have to offer.
My position is that Europe wants you to visit because they love you and not necessarily Discipline. You said yourself you were going to go on tour and they decided that you make a quick album, quick album Janet? Right there you cheated your fans and the record company cheated you. Professionals should be professional in their profession. They tried to exploit your name and your name was a result of years of hard work that almost went down the drain trying to turn a quick buck for some unappreciative bastards who showed their true colors, when the scheme failed. A quick album Janet, that they say we are not happy with the quick results is disrespect clear and plain.
Maybe you should name the overseas tour Janet Greatest Tour, to advertise the true product, the 45 greatest songs or singles. Fuck Rock WithU, Rock Witchu or Rock Wit-Chu, or whatever way you spill it, promote the real product and it might equate to ticket sales. You act like you owe Def Jam something other than no damn attention. In fact a good catch is “Janet’s Greatest 42 Tour,” you can still perform and extra 3 songs, but it should be all about you and not Def Jam. Fuck Discipline once you leave the United States and sell some publishing to Live Nation and Clear Channel Communications making them partners and get your full tour support.
Love,
Paul
