Janet has long spoken about her love of Prince, from her stories of attending a Prince/The Time/Vanity 6 concert and how uncomfortable she was with her mother sitting right beside her to confessing her love for him during a 2001 visit to TRL. There was a story, I believe in an unauthorized MJ book, about Prince visiting Hayvenhurst to have dinner with Michael, Janet and LaToya, and how spent most of the night hitting on LaToya . She was clearly his type, and she even remade his song "Private Joy". I'd have loved to have seen what P would have done on Janet's LWNDWY, and would still LOVE for them to work together, but he's covered "Lately" in concert many times and she has her own version of "Do Me Baby" with "Would You Mind" from the ALL FOR YOU album, so I guess that'll have to do for now . There is a pic of them together somewhere on the line--I could swear I saw it many years ago, and I think it was during the Velvet Rope era.
Great post! Did she really speak about him during a 2001 visit to TRL? I tried to find the video of that but to no avail lol. And a Velvet Rope era pic together? LAWD!
