Janet wrote a bulletin at her myspace page talking about a video contest. Basically you make up your own routine to Feedback and you post it to her own youtube page. Here's exactly what was posted:
I want your Feedback! Create a video of you (by yourself, or with friends) performing a dance routine to "Feedback" and post it to my YouTube channel.
This contest is about art, and there are no losers in art, so winners will be chosen at random, but you do need to enter to win.
4 lucky winners will receive an iPod pre-loaded with my new album Discipline and the videos for "Feedback" and "Rock With U".
Enter today at YouTube.com/JanetJackson
All entries must be received by April 12th.
Love,
Janet

(AP) Janet Jackson has dropped out of her upcoming "Saturday Night Live" performance because she has the flu, the singer's representative said Tuesday.
"Janet did go to the hospital last night due to the fact she's been suffering from this flu that's kicked a lot of people's behinds," publicist Patti Webster told The Associated Press in an e-mail. "She was never admitted and she is fine."
Still, Webster said Jackson _ who visited a Los Angeles hospital _ was pulling out of the March 15 "SNL" telecast because "she needs some time to get better."
"SNL" spokesman Marc Liepis said he did not know what music act will replace Jackson.

"Feedback" will rise one position and hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot Dance/Club Play chart for the week ending March 22, 2008 when the charts get officially announced next week.
Billboard's Hot Dance/Club Play chart -- unlike the other charts -- gets compiled a week in advance and therefore its positions are often known a few days before it is officially released by Billboard.
"Feedback" becomes the 18th No. 1 song of Janet's career on the dance chart. The 1987 track "Diamonds," which features Janet on lead vocals, did reach No. 1 on that same chart, however Billboard does not consider it to be one of Janet's songs since only Herb Alpert was given credit for that song on the dance chart. (Billboard did, however, curiously credit Janet for that same song on the R&B chart.)
The remaining charts will be released on Thursday morning. [Tnx JX]

With her sixth No. 1 album in the bag, Janet Jackson next has a tour and a book ready to roll this year. The singer, whose "Discipline" debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 181,000, anticipates a mid-September launch for a trip that will take her around the world.
"We're talking about America first," Jackson tells Billboard.com, "but I think we're going all over. I think I'm going to go back to Australia, back to Africa, obviously go to Asia, go to Europe for sure."
Jackson says fans can expect something "big -- it's always been big" and that some ideas may come from a tour she was planning to support 2006's "20 Y.O." before her new label, Island, suggested she instead return to the studio to make another album. "I'll probably tweak things from the last stage and stuff I had prepared for everyone," Jackson says. "It'll be an uptempo, upbeat show. I would love to perform every single I've had, but that's a pretty long show. I don't want people to be bored to tears."
Jackson adds that seven years after her last tour, she's anxious to get back on the boards. "I have missed it, and it means a great deal to me," she says. "When I'm creating music or singing the music (in the studio), I think about the stage performance. I think about the tour. The idea starts that early on for me. And I love being able to see the sea of faces, to have that connection, to feel that love. That's exciting for me."
Some time during the tour Jackson also hopes to roll out a book about her weight issues that she's co-writing with her nutritionist, David Allen. A title and publication details are expected to be announced soon, but Jackson says the idea for the book was inspired by her fans.
"Everybody asks me -- men, women -- how did I do it?" she says. "Even young people will come up to me and they have an issue with their weight and they're very concerned. So it's basically my journey; it's not just this sterile, weight loss and how to do it book, but my journey even from when I was a kid ... being an emotional eater. It takes you through those moments in my life up 'til now and what worked for me. And hopefully within that, if it doesn't work for them, maybe they'll find something that does work for them and a nice place for them to be content with who they are."
Jackson says she hopes to have the book out by "the latter part of this year. That's what we're pushing for."
