Alright guys… so it seems I’ve got a bone to pick. I gotta vent… and today the topic of discussion is Janet Jackson. She recently released her 10th studio album Discipline, and rather than talking about her consistent success over the past few decades, all anyone is talking about is her yo-yo dieting?!?!?! C’MON!!! I don’t see what the big deal is. So what if in her downtime the girl lets herself go a bit. Who doesn’t?!?!? Call it emotional eating; call it eating in the name of boredom; call it just plain out eating. WHO CARES?!?!?! The fact is, NOBODY can take the weight off when they have to, better than Ms. Jackson. Her album title encompasses the concept that she clearly embodies: DISCIPLINE. When she needs to exercise it she does; When she can afford to slack, she does. So why are we letting ourselves get so distracted by what she’s been doing in her downtime to not realize that she’s been able to buckle down and come out looking like a million bucks, not just this time, but time and time again?

Whatever she did in the last couple years in between albums is HER business. All I know is that she looks great, sounds great, and has delivered yet another number one album. I say it’s time we quit casting a critical eye and just give the girl props for being an ultimate master of her art.
