People are starved for something to talk about lastdecember Most of the "talk" is not even about music I don't pay attention to the hype.

Four and five are false.Janet was the highest paid female ARTIST during that period. Her music LABEL paid her. She did not get money from perfume lines, clothing lines, pepsi commericials, or endorsements and plus anyway MADONNA was the highest paid female artist this year so why is this advertisement saying Beyonce was when she wasn't?

Beyonce has ALWAYS had a sexy image this was nothing new for her on this album. She just took it to the next level by attempting to copy Rihanna and Lady Gaga because she wants to stay relevant. Janet on the otherhand was covered from HEAD TO TOE from Control through Rhythm Nation. So when she came back on the scene with a more sexier look for the JANET album it was something different for her. She was sexy but still tasteful. She did not half her ass hanging out. What kind of bullshit is this? The Janet album is also VERY eclectic musically and covers a wide range of genres. It is more mature LYRICALLY as well and is NO WHERE in the same conversation as that generic immature boring ass album. The JANET album covers a wide range of themes such as cheating spouse, depression, love, sex,etc. It does not JUST talk about sex and the lyrics about sex are more ARTISTIC and not just vulgar immature words with no meaning. Lastly, Janet did not have to use a gimmick to get her album to number one. Her song "Thats The Way Love Goes" was a number one hit around the world and was one of the longest running number ones of all time. The Janet album is also one of the biggest selling albums of all time with a handful of CLASSICS. I'm tired of people comparing overhyped/overrated Beyonce to legendary or iconic artists. If some like this album then fine... but dont sit up here and compare this album to anything Janet or MJ has done. Just STOP!

First of all:

Oh, let's not. EVER.

Janet was only covered "head to toe" (LOL) for them THREE YEARS because she was chunky and ashamed of her figure as she has admitted herself in True You. Whereas Beyoncé has had the courage to embrace her full figure in her music ("Bootylicious") AND her videos.

Besides, a Janet Jackson fan should NEVER try slut-shaming any other artists. I don't know what Beyoncé sounds like when she orgasms, but Janet...

"The Janet album is also VERY eclectic musically and covers a wide range of genres." "The JANET album covers a wide range of themes such as cheating spouse, depression, love, sex,etc." because it sounds like a mixtape

"It is more mature LYRICALLY as well" "The JANET album covers a wide range of themes such as cheating spouse, depression, love, sex,etc.really it isn't.

"is NO WHERE in the same conversation as that generic immature boring ass album." It certainly isn't, but not for the reasons you think.

"It does not JUST talk about sex" Neither does BEYONCÉ Unless "Pretty Hurts", "Ghost", "Yoncé", "Jealous", "Mine", "XO", "***Flawless", "Superpower", "Heaven", and especially "Blue" have some subtext I'm not aware of. That's ten songs out of sixteen by the way.

"the lyrics about sex are more ARTISTIC and not just vulgar immature words with no meaning." I quoted JUST for this one.

"If you like, I'll go down, da down down down da down down
I'll hold you in my hand and baby,

Your smooth and shiny feels so good against my lips, sugar..."

"I can feel your body
Pressed against my body
When you start to poundin'
Love to feel you throbbin'"

"Unh!

Ooh!

Huh! (Damn, baby, shit! Oh!)

Oh..."

"[insert the entirety of "Any Time, Any Place (I'll Take That Dick)"]"

That's artistic and modest?

"Her song "Thats The Way Love Goes" was a number one hit around the world and was one of the longest running number ones of all time. The Janet album is also one of the biggest selling albums of all time with a handful of CLASSICS." And BEYONCÉ set ALBUM sales records around the world. Besides, didn't I just see you in another thread yapping about sales and records not meaning anything?

"I'm tired of people comparing overhyped/overrated Beyonce to legendary or iconic artists. If some like this album then fine... but dont sit up here and compare this album to anything Janet or MJ has done. Just STOP!" It's your ugly, disenfranchised, deaf business if you believe that Beyoncé is somehow overhyped or overrated in comparison to the nepotistic, nonsinging, producer's showcase Janet Jackson or anyone else. But you can't stop people from doing expressing anything, especially not by formulating weak, socially backwards, easily dismantled arguments like those above. I suggest you take your own advice and just stop.

Hmmm, my sentiments EXACTLY. It's as if you were reading my mind. Btw, I think that this is Beyonce's BEST album.

Beyoncé continues to explain the artistic vision behind the new album project in Part 4 of her “Self-Titled” documentary entitled “Liberation.”

This vision needs no explanation. Buy the vids and watch em.

NASA responds to Beyonce's Challenger sample use

are the beyonce fans not able to articulate the positives of her album without insulting janet? trying to diss the janet. album is a mute point because its already a classic and just this past year was celebrated on its 20th anniversary in various publications.the fact that people are comparing beyonce's current work to something janet did 20 years ago just proves how influencial she was,which beyonce herself admits she was influenced by janet. i think it shows how young and immature beyonce's fanbase is. for the record mjcarasel is a michael stan not janet,i think she dont like beyonce which is the only reason she's praising janet.

Im just curious, has this album included any big songs for Beyonce?

I heard a lot about this album's release, but have yet to actually hear anything about the actual music. Her stuff is usually pretty inescapable, so I am surprised that I don't seem to hear of any hits from this album that has sold so well.

When her album was first released,everyone was talking about it.But now,it seems like it's already forgotten.Her music is like fast food....quick and disposable

I think this album is just as mediocre as her other albums. All that hype just was for the way she released it plus having a video for every song. "Blow" was the only song that stuck out to me. It might have hit potential if she makes it a single. The music sounds like something a 20-something pop tart should be doing though.

Yeah only her fans seem to talk about it now. Everybody else got everything all at once and now they've moved on lol.
