JANET LAUGHED OFF HOMOSEXUAL FEARS WITH TONIGHT'S THE NIGHTRecord company bosses attempted to persuade JANET JACKSON not to release her version of ROD STEWART's TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT because they feared it would make fans think she was a lesbian.The pop superstar refused to change to lyrics of the original when she included it on her THE VELVET ROPE album because she thought the idea of her singing a sexy song to another girl would appeal to her gay fans.But record company bosses feared they'd be a homophobic backlash against the singer.She recalls, "The record company tried to talk me out of it because it's directed toward a girl."I love the song the way it is, and it's reality for as lot of people."Janet Jackson was recently embroiled in the famous ‘nipplegate’ scandal, which caused a huge uproar and ended up costing CBS a record fine.0Comments | Be the first to comment!
