Janice was such a disgusting character. Always money and personal interests first. She wanted Tony dead, stayed with her mom just for the house. Pushed Bobby to want more and get a better role in the system, which in the end made him become a valuable target by New York. All that being said Aida Turturro was so great as Janice because we all hated her. It's hard to imagine any other actress as Janice
@@dewilew2137she’s just a different kind of vile, which sticks out by juxtaposition. But Janice only ever killed a very deserving man, which is more than can be said for most of our other characters.
ALL Slavic Women are compared to Americans.. a 6/10 random girl walking in the streets of Moscow was 100x better looking than %99.9 of girls back home in the US.
@@yomomma98989 True. As an international student from India who lived & worked in the US for almost 7 years, I have also noticed a pattern. Almost every left wing Democrat voting girl or woman in America tends to be ugly as sin - with very unattractive features/ overweight/ unattractive butch-manly looking out of shape type etc. Livia & this fatty Janice remind me of your archetypal liberal Democrat woman you'd find in the University, workplace or Traders Joes/ Starbucks. They seemed to have a depressed sadistic type of look in them. Most of whom were single or had no kids. However, when I got the chance of visiting small beautiful towns in the Mid West (MAGA-Trump territory), I noticed that at least 85-90% of the girls looked stunningly beautiful, physically fit/ strong, gracious & cheerful. Many of them happily married with multiple children. Svetlana represents the typical right wing Republican country girl in the Mid-west, south & great plains.
I love how Janice couldn't even pretend to be nice to Svetlana, at her mothers funeral no less. All comes back to how much money she can sqeeze out of the situation. Truely a Soprano, even if she tried to convince herself that she was better than Tony.
She always knew she was going to be protected by Tony, it’s like a lot of spoiled kids who push the limits cuz know if it doesn’t go well, their daddy has their back
As someone who flips records as a hobby, big band era music does not sell very well. Now if you look at the saints of Newark trailer there's a scene of young tony listening to music with records spread around. Now that would be a nice collection to have
She was paid to take care of Livia, it was not a charity. Tony was very generous, he allowed her to live in Livia`s house after she died until she finds place of her own. Whether Livia gave records to Svetlana or she just lied about it, we never know, Livia did not have a will. But Tony had no choice, he eventually had to support his sister over outsider, she was his blood relative, she was family and Svetlana was not. Mafia has its own rules. Few episodes later Tony found Russian Igor who beat up Janice and retaliated.
@@kaj7135 she’s a better person than Livia herself. Narcissists don’t care about character. She probably gave her the records out of spite, because she knew Janice wanted them.
Aida Turturro nailed that thing of how the most horrible people think they’re the nice ones in any scenario. I uh….. I’m related to people like that and it’s very accurate! 🤣
It is kind of cool the creator introduced that "russian element" to the series. Svetlana character is particularly adorable. Kind of grounded, self reliant against the adversity of life and tough as nails. Her speech patterns are peculiar. I watched some video where Michale Imperioli, Steve Schirripa and Alla Kliouka have a zoom link chatting about Sopranos. Turns out both her parents were deaf. That explains (to me) the way she speaks (in many places).
+S4nic or maybe she just didn't want janice to have them. Just like how she gave the jewelry to Tony's counsin, and he seemed mad when he heard she had given it away. God bless everyone.
I think it was a mutual respect. Livia was surrounded by whiny pissy people and Svetlana was the opposite. She suffered as much as Livia did but despite that remained strong and beautiful. Livia probably put Svetlana through the same gaunlet she put on everyone but never broke like everyone else did. In the end I think they understood eachother.
@@gregoryillinivich5328 also Livia made sure that Junior didn't kill Christopher because he put up her storm windows at her house one time. She was definitely an odd duck and showed kindness to people who weren't her kids.
Did she get it all though? Because I can CLAIM anything, but that doesn’t mean I’d get it. If she did, let me guess, she wonders why everyone hates her.
@@doravee He had 21 kids and they all are scattered all the globe so there wasn't anyone to challenged her, her only son was living in my grandparents house and she kicked him out and rented out the house lol,
@@gigid9606 Aside from that, which Tony had for her because he’s an animal. Tony did have a respect for her and the hardships she had been thru and how she was just unfazed by it all. Which he would throw in Carmela’s face in Whitecaps.
Janice must have seen that Sanford and Son episode where Bubba played Blind Melojelly's Son, " I won't my daddy's records" Janice, "I won't my mama's Records". 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣
Janice thought they might be. She’d find out quickly what they’re really worth on eBay. Classy of her to bring it up graveside in the same conversation she told her to move out by the end of the week.
Only reason Janice is there is Livia (Nancy Marchand) died in real life. David Chase intended to be done with Janice when he put her on a bus to Seattle after she shot Richie Aprile. After Nancy Marchand died, Chase wrote Janice back in to get the Bobby-Janice marriage. Interesting, no? Here's Aida Turturro explaining her character on Talking Sopranos ruclips.net/video/0NNW3dAR404/видео.html&
It's a shame Janice survived through the whole series
People like her unfortunately always survive in the real world, that's probably why.
The world was specifically created for shitty people to thrive.
dayum
@@kaj7135 that's because this is hell
Survived yes but she’s dead inside.
Janice: "My mother had a shitload of records. I feel very close to them." Great writing.
Ohhh!
she felt very close to the boardwalk as well.
it is, thats exactly how someone as dumb as janice would speak
@@visionquest414 🎲🎲 under the boardwalk

Aida's portrayal of a gold-digging sibling is disturbingly accurate.

She’s no worse than any of the other male characters on this show.
@@dewilew2137she’s just a different kind of vile, which sticks out by juxtaposition. But Janice only ever killed a very deserving man, which is more than can be said for most of our other characters.
She was great as Janice, because the actress is like Janice. She wasn't wearing a fat suit. She wears horrible jewelry, an ugly gross tatt, etc.
Svetlana was more of a woman even with the one leg than Janice could ever dream of lol
ALL Slavic Women are compared to Americans.. a 6/10 random girl walking in the streets of Moscow was 100x better looking than %99.9 of girls back home in the US.
and a heck of a lot tougher
You say that like you’re a man at all.

I love how the facade drops the second it's not useful anymore.
Yep. She got pissed off when her BS was going nowhere.
Personally, i think the name janice was chosen for her character as a reference to the roman god Janus solely due to her being a two faced bitch
Janice is nasty and greedy, and played well by actress.
@@jerrysmith5931 it had to be Karen,before Karen became famous:)
Basically female tony
She's so cute, especially in this scene with that scarf on.
That Russian sexy look all in black...
And she's so disgusting, especially in this scene with that hat on.
And her husband is awesome too

Svetlana was more of a daughter to Livia than Janice.
Yeah, and I bet you Livia gave the records to Svetlana just to piss off Janice
Svetlana knew the game, she had a gangster side in her aswell. She’s the only woman who used Tony like he did his gumars 😂
Svetlana knew Janice was a parasite, I'd lay money on it Livia told her when she gave her the records that Janice would be after them
So much class svetlana.. ⚘💕
Poor Svetlana. She cared for their mother and the ungrateful pieces of sith are asking her to leave.
Sith? Jacke jr was a jedi!

Livia. Quite possibly the best female character in the entire show
Nathan Breidegam She gave her life to her children...ON A SILVAH PLATTAH!
And Janice the worst
Are you outside of your mind?
She was a saint
I find it interesting that Livia was nicer to Svetlana than her own children
Svetlana is a better person than Tony or Janice. Although, it’s Livia’s fault that her own children turned out horrible.
great catch
@@kaj7135 she’s a better person than Livia herself. Narcissists don’t care about character. She probably gave her the records out of spite, because she knew Janice wanted them.

@Rommel The Desert Fox No Problem haha
Svet is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen onscreen in movies or tv. Her eyes are insane
Janice was a delight.
Everybody has a Janice in their family.
Pickin the freakin bones
This show has so many great actors. She does such a good job of playing someone you love to hate

Livia GAVE HER RECORDS to Svetalana. It wa LIVIAs choice. Janice should have RESPECTED her mother choice
she didnt even respect her choice to not have a funeral
Janice respected nothing but her own interest
Janice respect someone or something?
🤣🤣🤣

Lol no. Ask Kramer and Newman
Well that was a nice interlude...
LOL! Russian Mob.....ain't intimidated by crazy. LOL

Toxic.
She’s hot
There are guys in the can better looking than Janice.
@@Tkieron He's taking about Svetlana, tardo
It's easy to see why JR hated her so much.
Wait, wouldn’t the records and all artists credits and royalties go directly to Heshy?
No royalties, She just had a music collection
I hated Janice so much...
No way the Livia gave her those records. She wouldn’t give her a thing
Those records were worth dogshit.
Lol "worth a fortune" this woman was a piece of work.
Janice is ....
Svetlana has never been hotter
I've never seen the sopranos outright. Someone please tell me she doesn't get the records...
Not only does she get them but she ends up producing records for her own label.
She doesn’t get them and she doesn’t produce anything.
Hot dam I forgot how much of a babe she is
russian vs italian, no contest, they endure in stalingrad, she can endure the sopranos
Even after all the awful people in the show, none could be as infuriating as Janice. Major props to Aida Turturro for playing this role to perfection.
So Janice can sell em to the right collectors
