My friend recommended me a very interesting place *** MillionaireLover Com *** It’s where wealthy singles looking for someone to enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with.

Jermaine is a record producer, not an executive. He can make a hit record, but is executive skills are questionable. Def-Jam should have known that from the disaster @ virgin—remember 20YO

As a Janet fan, I agree 100% w/ Oni. I wonder what took those idiots @ Def Jam THIS long to fire him. Anyway, L.A.Reid has absolutely NO CLUE how to run a label. This is the same guy who hired Jay-Z, remember.

JD is a very talented producer and that more than anything else (in my opinion) is his forte. Being an executive as opposed to being a producer are two very different things. Very different. Still, he is extremely talented and will continue to do well.
