Variety reports Janet Jackson is scheduled to do a Primetime interview with Robin Roberts that will air on Wednesday, November 18 at 10:00 pm ET.

  As always, I am looking at the angle.  Not saying Janet would not hold an interview and there is a greiving time, but I will question the timing of the airing.  The draw would be hearing from the sane r Jackson.  The questioning comes in when you look at the past album performance: [Source]

“janet.” (1993), 7,005,000
“The Velvet Rope” (1997), 3,227,000
“All for You” (2001), 3,105,000
“Design of a Decade 1986/1996″ (1995), 2,411,000
“Damita Jo” (2004), 1,002,000
“20 Y.O.” (2006), 655,000
“Discipline” (2008), 441,000

Then there is the countdown clock, the new album ”Number Ones” set to release on November 17. 

Coincidence? or Just doing what has to be done?
