Janet Jackson shows all in her new video
Filed under: Development/Milestones: Babies, Life & Style, That's Entertainment
Janet Jackson is baring all of herself in her latest video. The singer suffered a severe media whipping for showing her naked breast during the 2004 Super Bowl half time show. But she appears to have gotten over that hurt because in her new video she appears in the buff several times. Although her image has gotten increasingly sexier over the years, the singer claims that she does not think of herself as sexy. She blames her poor body image on her older brother Michael, sighting that he likely projected his own insecurities on to her, ""My brother Michael used to tease me. He thought my butt was too big. Maybe he wasn't completely happy with himself, so he put it on me? I'm just guessing here, but looking back now, I know that in adolescence your body changes, and he would always tease people left and right about something. When his own body started to change ... he became a lot more introverted."
It is probably no surprise that growing up in such a weird household could do some serious damage to Jackson. But I say more power to her. She is a beautiful and talented performer and if she feels so inclined to flaunt it she should go for it.

Luna said...Pete, I really don't think that reading about Janet getting naked will make you a better dad either. It probably won't make me a better mom but I don't think that was the point of it being posted.
That said, Janet is a beautiful woman with a wonderful voice. If she is comfortable enough with her body more power to her, if she wants to run around nude in her video thats her business. It is sad to see so many women with issues with their bodies even after all the progress we have made in the past century.

Isabel said...At first I thought the same as Pete. But I guess it does have to do with body image when you're growing up. My brother used to call me thunder thighs when I was 9 - 13 and it definately left a lasting impression on me. The funny part about my brother is that he's really overweight now and I'm not!! Karma!!

VL said...I didn't think they could show nudity on tv. Who is actually going to see her bare it all?
I don't want women to have body issues or feel insecure about their looks, but imho, if someone needs to get naked to get attention, their lives are seriously lacking something. This seems like nothing more than a ploy to sell records.
I think it is also ironic when a celebrity like JJ whines about her poor body image and blames it on others. Then, instead of helping other young girls and women feel better about themselves and their own body issues, she gets naked and perpetuates the myth that Hollywood standards of beauty are worth dying for.
