Janet Jackson reflects on a memory in a recent Parade interview:

“When I was 16, I was promoting my first album and I went with Mother to see The Time’s concert with Prince. I did not want to sit next to Mother because I knew they were dirty. I was trying to be cool and calm, but oh my God, I was sweating bullets! How am I going to sit at this show and watch Vanity Six and Prince and The Time and sit next to Mother? She’s going to think, ‘Good Lord, what is my baby into? She really needs more of God in her life! Where did I go wrong?’ I could just hear Mother blaming herself for everything! Luckily, I got someone else to swap seats with me so I was able to enjoy the show and have the same great time I would’ve had if I were there without Mother.”

“Mother” that just sounds creepy on some Mommy Dearest ish. Not my mother or my mom, but just “Mother”. No wonder those Jackson kids are all screwed up.

    ^^^^^

    AHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!! WHY THEY GOTTA BE DIRTY, WHY NOT EXPLICIT OR SEXUAL OR EVEN RAUNCHY LOL…..DIRTY !! LMAO !

  • Lyte Bright

    sounds like sum ish from that movie “psycho”. norman bates talked like that…..

    oh yeah….FIRST!!!!

  • bree

    sounds like Mother is Catherine’s first name..on a fashion tip, I LOOOOOOOOVE the blue jacket..

  • da darkness

    Nobody cares Janet fix your face. Have some kids go sit down

  • Yani

    That’s how they grow up in Hollyweird. The photos are HOT!! Janet wears the 40′s well.

  • BABY

    Janet, you are STILL hot…strange than a mo fu but HOT! ssssssssssssssss

  • mr mr

    all the Jackson kids say Mother…

    hey it’s how they grew up…

    the real question is what do they call Joe….?

    Probably called him anything to avoid those azz whoopings…

    I’ve always felt it was weird the way they refer to their parents as mother and Joseph. I think Michael just calls her Katherine. It’s all good though. Every family has their own way.

  • Deonte

    I love it! Janet was raised Jehovahs Witness so I’ll bet she couldn’t hoop and holla @ a concert next to her momma. The only thing crazy about the Jacksons is that Michael. Just because she calls her mother “Mother” doesn’t mean she’s sick or whatever you want to use as a conotation to the Jackson clan. You gotta give it to her though, she still looks great plastic surgery or not.

  • What the…?!

    Nevermind the Mother thing. People call their parents all kinds of things…it doesn’t necessarily indicate there’s a problem. On another note, she looks beautiful in those pictures. Youthful and fresh.

    sounds like Mother is Catherine’s first name..on a fashion tip, I LOOOOOOOOVE the blue jacket..

    ^^^Girl, me too.

  • http://MillMatch.com anglefan

    I notices she has a personal ad at (MillMatch dot com). Is she still looking or it is just a joke from her fans? Her photos look every hot and popular on that site. who knows the truth?

  • HOTSTUFF

    yeah…that Mother thing is very “brady-ish” But she still my rolemodel in the body department so…Go Janet

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    why janet always gotta wear dominatrix boots .. i was feelin that outfit til it got down to the shoes she should have thrown on some louboutins or she could have been bare feet because that trench alone is killin it. i love the pop it gives to the otherwise bland photos.

  • Lili

    Yea…those boots are her thing, but that jacket is to die for!

  • JAD

    Her jacket is HOT!!!!! I want it!

  • PeepEye

    Everyone knows that you have two choices with mothers. You either have a crazy mother or you are one!!! That’s all……two choices!!!

  • I’m Just Me

    Janet is looking AWESOME!!! You go girl. I knew all those pics of you blowing up wasn’t the real deal and you do wear 40 well. The comment was a little extra but that is just because I am not used to speaking like that but if that is how she grew up then who are we to judge??

    GO Janet…do that daxn thing!!

  • Wenzel Dashington

    Mother and Papa Joe don’t take no mess. The Knowles learned from the best.

  • V

    I can just hear her whispering “Mother” and giggling while saying “…they were dirty.”

    Yeah, I’m sure Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty….lol.

    She’s so funny & presumptuous to me.

  • http://www.theblackactor.com/ Baby Please

    How strange; use of the term, “mother.”

    Hilarious.

  • gAzZmAtIc

    wELL MY MOM NEVER LET ME CALL HER MOTHER BECAUSE IT SOUNDED TOO MUCH LIKE I WAS GONNA ADD A F-BOMB AFTER IT. eSPECIALLY WHEN I TRIED TO BE SARCASTIC WITH IT…

  • http://iheartmysugardaddy.blogspot.com Kiki

    Janet is my idol. If I had to model my dream life after anyone’s it would be hers.

    http://www.iheartmysugardaddy.blogspot.com

  • Robyn

    Yep that coat is FYRE!!! But that wig is hideous and her face is looking to damn plastic these days like Lil Kim. The comment is a little strange but then again them Jackson’s are strange so hey it goes hand in hand. I will say this though her body is banging to be 40 she bounced back cuz she was huge not long ago.

  • Joy

    Leave her alone…Every family has their way of doing things. Yall always hating on Janet. She looks pretty and she has clothes on.

  • Grace

    I can tell y’all are not Jackson fans cause you would know that all the kids call her “MOTHER”.

    What I think is creepy is that she took her mother to a Prince/Vanity Six concert. Why? I could see her taking Joe but Katherine?

  • Kel

    She looks absolutely fantastic in these pics!! The closeup is refreshing!! Do ur thing Penny!!!!

  • grace

    FINALLY SOME JANET PICS THAT ARE FRESH, NATURAL, AND MATURE. That alien look was not good. The half naked look is getting old. Now, if we can only get Mariah Carey to do the same. The older they get, the more skin you see.

  • memchee

    gimme a break!!!!!!

  • GZee

    Zana, sit down. lol Saying “mother” DOES sound kind of creepy! ha ha ha ha

  • Maryland Girl

    LMFAO @ Wenzel Dashington that pics is hilarious LMAO

    @ Mz. Asia that is a cute coat…..

  • Maryland Girl

    Sorry I meant *pic

  • van

    I love me some prince!

  • Corree

    I can understand calling her “mother”, so to speak, but when she’s actually speaking ABOUT her mother, then why not just say “my” mother? It reminds me of that movie Flowers in the Attic. Creepy.

  • Just_Wanna_Know

    Janet is my girl and all but does she believe she gives pure performances?

  • Nic

    Yes. Creepy. Repressed, more like? Not that I want to watch naughty stuff w/ my parent(s) either, but… Yes. Creepy. Sad.

    I saw Mom & Pop Jackson once. Driving on Ventura Blvd.. You know we went thru several lights together and those folks never said a word to one another. You wanna talk about a business relationship, rather than based on love…! Even the business is slow.

    At least Michael’s kids are GORGEOUS! Haven’t seen Blanket lately…

  • Yadadamean?

    Maybe she is a nun

  • Crista X

    Mother was/is used in the south mainly. Most people, like our grandmothers & grandfathers called their parents Mother…it’s a way of displaying the utmost respect.

  • Crista X

    @ JD…I agree!

  • http://www.abovethespotlight.com cutie pie

    lol

  • zappy

    You’all leave Katherine Jackson alone. They LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE their mother. Let’s also be fair. SHe did the best she could with what she knew at the time.

    Look at Britney Spears and other child stars. As a poor parent, it sounds good. Your kid will be making all this money??? It doesn’t always work out, but when you are poor, it sounds good.

  • Vito

    I like the colors on her(the trench coat and hair color). You stop acting crazy because she articulates. Outside of Poetic Justice have you ever heard her split a verb?

  • We Gotta Do Betta

    Nothing wrong with the term “Mother” she could be using is as a term of endearment..something some of you heathens might not know about…otherwise, Janet is the most sane/normal of all the Jacksons beside Tito and Rebbie…leave her alone!!!!

  • b

    Actually you ignoramuses if you listen to most older black people they called their mom’s that. Read a fukking book or learn some history. There is nothing psycho about call your mother mother. What is wrong with you people. Sometime my race just irritates me.

  • chewy

    My 8 year old daughter calls me Mother- its nothing wrong with it. I didn’t teach her to say that but I she says that more than she says mama or mom. I call my own mother, mama. She doesn’t like “mother” to much.

  • I cant say…

    40 is the new 20 I swear!! Janet is killing it!!

  • Jewel

    No it doesn’t. My Mom is from the country. That is some throwback ish

  • Laura

    Back in the day people did consider Prince and the Time dirty and some parents did go with their minor children to concerts.

  • Big B

    all of my aunts and uncles call my granny Mother. Its a term of endearment for people over 40…50. Oh well, some of you lack common sense saying the term is creepy. Grow up!

  • Mocha

    My aunts and uncles call my Granny “Mother” too. It’s a respect thing.

  • GD

    WOW…Big deal…who cares? That was not worth writing a story over!!!

  • Lik_Wid_Cherry

    It was like the Jacksons were raised without emotion…that was creepy the way she’s refers to her mom as Mother…..*shivers*

  • keltharocka

    Forget all the “mother” talk…..I’m wishing I could see Prince, Morris and Vanity all on one ticket. BTW I just saw Morris and the Time about 3 weeks ago and that fool still clowning.

  • blahblah

    So they call their dad Joseph and their mom Mother??? Proof something was seriously wrong in the Jackson house.

  • brina

    i think it’s really cute and polite how they call their mother “mother”
