This interview was done by various fans on Janet's blog. It was released on 10/26/09
Wondering if you have any favorite songs? Always fun with new music. Favorites I have lots of! Too much to write here. Has put up many favorites, if you browse the blog. But those I love now:
"Out Here Grindin'" - DJ Khaled
"Whatcha Say" - Jason Derulo
Do you have a boyfriend? No sir, what the hardest question was Poppis!
Which blogs are you reading? Blogs I read regularly, are my dear friends'. But the funniest of all the blogs I know is Farzad & Ramin blog: http://finest.se/farzadramin.
Is it you who sings the song "Because You lied to me" in Dandy? Yes it's me!
Do you have any favorite TV series? Many TV shows come and go, but Friends, it is! Close, should not be cheesy. haha. Friends is impossible for me to tire of. Love it. Then there is the favorite as Fresh Prince, The Finnerty's, Big Bang Theory, and so many more. Anything that makes me laugh. Then, I have been a Prison Break crazy too ..
If you could choose to only work with a producer / songwriter's life, who would it be? There are so many good and many I want to work with in the future, but it has not worked together so it is difficult to say how the energy in the studio would be. It would be strange for me to meet someone other than Andrew (Carlsson) and Anders (beetle).
1. Can you write your own songs? Got tips? 2. If you want to go out with Andrew on a date, Who should I contact? 3. How is it working with Anders Bagge? Myself, I like him he is funny. 1. Writing songs? Yes. Good songs? "To be continued .." My tip is well to try to write as much as possible in order to develop and get better. As it is with everything. 2. I do not think it would help to make contact with anyone other than himself ...;) 3. Anders is fantastic to work with. He is so terribly musical, and can produce feelings in a very magical way. He's funny, I do not have escaped anyone.
Have you been really disappointed at some point? Yes. What would life be without betrayal and broken hearts? To loyalty will get its deep meaning, requires a antithesis. And I think that everything in life happens for a reason, so just to move on, an experience richer.
How is your relationship to friends and family today, you have no boyfriend? Boyfriend, I have not. My relationship with friends and family is stronger than ever. I get overwhelmed just to think about all the love that surrounds me.
Who is your biggest role model in music? If I look at my upbringing and development, so have Mariah Carey has meant an awful lot. So many hours I have been practicing on her songs .. but as a person and performer, Beyoncé is my biggest inspiration. She has come a long way, and transformed before our eyes, a Superwoman in music. She has built an empire around himself, but has always kept to its roots. That I admire. Even Michael Jackson has had a huge influence in my life.
Then I wonder what your favorite song is on your album? It is so incredibly difficult to choose a favorite, when one has lived with his songs for so long, it becomes a part of, and each one reminds me of a certain period in my life. But, "Heartache On The Dancefloor"'s a favorite, and "The Cover Up". And "Breakaway". And "Anymore".
Are you going to release Janet to the U.S.? When we release abroad it will not be the same disc that is released!
Wondering if you still have contact with girls from Play? We're not talking as often as you wish, but it happens that we run into each other!
When will your new album be out? Nothing set! The music controls!
What is "Idol jury" private? Have you changed much for your participation in the Made in Sweden? 1. The so-called "Idol jury" is 3 of those people in life who are closest to me. There are 3 completely different characters, with creativity as a common denominator. Difficult to explain more than that we always have fun together .. 2. The fact that my life changed after Made in Sweden, I have also personally grown as a person. A person's basic values, I think it is important to always carry. So I'm the same person, though many many experiences richer.
Do you go to the salon to get your nails done? Has a girlfriend, Susanne, as I go to when I want the opportunity to indulge.
Who is your favorite Idol as of now? How did you become so good at singing? I think everyone is very good this year. But Mariette is a favorite. Rabih Even when I sing the right song, I'm weak for such votes. And Reza succeed quite cruelly good at certain times. Erik is really too cruel. And Eddie's passion shines through his eyes. The old standard, practice makes perfect! Just sing, sing and sing ... to develop their voice. I've been singing for many different artists in order to constantly develop my own voice. For it is never finished lessons. The difference now is I am I sing my own songs, and allows them to get better.
If you could not be in the business, what would you do? Music is everything to me, so it would be something in the "Showbusiness". There is much I want to do in the industry!
Which hairdresser does your hair? Do you think we should cut a little the hairdresser you want to recommend cruel hair products? I go to Emma on Corinne & Friends, because I think she is cruel. As for hair, I have many different recommended over the years, which has led me to find my favorites. It may simply try their way, embracing the recommendations, but everything does not fit all, so you may feel after!
Will there be any concerts soon? Keep an eye on the page and in the blog!
I wonder how you feel about your career and future is now, after you been out and played in the summer and nature become its feet as a solo artist? (I expect from Made in Sweden since the course was there I saw you, but you've certainly made lots of things before). Ever since I was little I have seen my future in my head, when the music has been the greatest in my life. And that love is stronger today than ever. To live a life without music as the main character, but for me, no life.
How did you do to become a singer with madeinsweden? Do you have to clear first idol?Idol and Made in Sweden are two different forums. I started working with Laila when I was 12, before Made in Sweden was even in prospect, and it seemed only natural that I should be with. It makes therefore no audition.
