      I didn't know what the hell she was talking about either, but I was so into the song it didn't matter LOL. She could have at least made an obvious French reference before saying that phrase.

        Ok, things don't look as rosy as previously thought.

          Yeah, it looks like she held steady on a couple of the r^b charts she was on last week, but for everything else, she fell completely off the charts.  Looks like the BET gave her a little boost, but this single really isn't the right song coming off of a 7-8 year absence.  She needed a good dance song to remind us of young Janet, and to show us she still has it.  I hope reviews of those first tour dates are good to tide us over until the second single.

            A good dance single would have been perfect for Pride last month. Maybe this new album will be more mid tempo than dance oriented?  At first I was kinda surprised "No Sleeep" fell off, but as I think about it, it makes sense. Why would it stay on the charts and sell when there's hardly any promotion? No official video, no live (or lip-synced) performances, and hardly any TV or printed ads. To me, she missed a great opportunity by not performing this single (or something else new) at the BET Awards. There's also Kimmel, Fallon, SNL etc. I'm still curious how this is going to play out considering she's going on tour next month with an album that hasn't dropped and no live performances yet.

              Ok, the official video for "No Sleeep" is HOT!!! (IMHO). Makes me like the song even more.

                I literally just read an article on yahoo about the video.

                http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/janet-jackson-no-sleeep-video_55b24008e4b0a13f9d18295c?ncid=edlinkushpmg00000118

                Seems she grabbed J. Cole to drop a verse on the video track. I do like the video, definitely fits the tempo and mellowness of the song. Maybe it will help get the single back on track.  Hopefully too much time hasn't passed since the BET Awards and now to save it.

                    Guys, I read about the colabo with J Cole the day before. I listened to it and didn't partially like it. I didn't even know she was going to drop a video so this was a sweet surprise.

                    I think she's gonna breathe new life in the song. Thanks for posting the article 36605domtop and kairinamine I'm excited to about what's "cumming" next from her.  😄

                      Here's the new album's title track.

                      This one is going to have to grow on me.  It didn't grab me at first listen.

                      Here's a link covering one of her opening tour dates.

                        Yeah… when I first heard this track, I was on the fence with it. It sounds too busy and I really couldn't focus on the lyrics. Hearing it for a 2nd time, I like it a little more, but still not loving it. Thanks for posting 36605domtop.

                        Did you hear the track she did with Missy Elliot? I think the audio from her concert was posted briefly and then disappeared.
