JACKSON: 'I'M NOT READY TO BE SADE'

JANET JACKSON and Def Jam executives parted ways because she refused to be the new SADE.

The R+B star cut all ties to her record label in September (08), and now she's talking about the final straw that made her seek a new direction in her career.

She says, "There were some people who didn't like the direction I took with this album (Discipline).

"They wanted me to sound more like Sade, but I'm not ready for that just yet.

"I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me."

Now, without a record deal, Jackson is focusing on her film career.

She tells Sister 2 Sister magazine, "I have been getting more behind the scenes with film and television. I will probably continue to do music - and acting is still a strong passion of mine - but I really have been loving behind-the-scenes work: producing, directing and all the technical stuff."
