Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire, That's The Way Love Goes was no longer desired. It was kicked out of the competition in the sixteenth and final round of DOAD Survivor.



---*----*-----*----*----*----*-----*----*-----*----*----*----*----

So now it's time to crown the winner. The people have spoken.
The DESIGN OF A DECADE SURVIVOR as chosen by members of the Org is...

RHYTHM NATION



We are a nation with no geographic boundaries,
bound together through our beliefs.
We are like-minded individuals,
sharing a common vision,
pushing toward a world rid of color-lines.



5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

HO! HO! HO! HO!

With music by our side
To break the color lines
Let’s work together
To improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me



People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation



This is the test
No struggle, no progress (lend)
Lend a hand to help
Your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make them better



It’s time to give a damn
Let’s work together come on

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

The interludes on RN1814 killed me. I loved them all.

TV, Hey Baby, No Acid, Let's Dance, Race, Pledge -- HOT, HOT, HOT!

I love it when Janet hits you over the head with the sociopolitical messages with the first 3 tracks and then she says "get the point, good, let's dance" and kicks in with the dance jam "Miss You Much." WOOO!

I used the lines from "Interlude: Livin'...In Complete Darkness" as my senior quote in my HS yearbook.

P.S.: I NEED ANOTHER JANET TOUR TO HAPPEN DESPERATELY!

I quite like 'Alright' I like the remix by Mick Talbot (formerly of The Style Council).

Aw, I love Janet sooooo much!

JANFAN4L said:

R U GUYS TAPING THIS?OH MY GOD!!!

Rhythm Nation and janet. had the only "necessary" interludes on Janet albums, IMO. On other Janet cds, I usually skip them, but on these two albums, they're almost as necessary as the songs themselves.

JANFAN4L said:

cute, so this is what you all have been up to in these threads.....


fyi: that pic from the concert is proof janet needs to shoot whoever designs her concert attire...

ABeautifulOne said:

"edit."

::: starts "Escapade" :::

haha we could probably text through the entire Rhythm Nation album.

sosgemini said:

i half way agree with u on that one.the rhythm nation thing 4 the last tour was kinda awkward with that dancer looking like catwomans child.but it was kinda good

CinisterCee said:

I just put some Rhythm Nation inspired wallpaper on my cell phone. I'm having fun over here.

This is a fun thread! I like looking @ it.

Off-topica:

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Why couldn't Jam & Lewis produce a track like "Harajuku Girls" for Janet? I was so surprised when I found out J&L produced that song for Gwen. I mean, damn, I feel really cheated stylistically as a Janet fan. They're capable of producing stuff like "Harajuku Girls," yet they give us sh*te like "Warmth" and "Feels So Right"?

With the next Janet record, f*ck it, Jam & Lewis needs to take us back to that Minneapolis funk!! Janet get back on them keyboards! ::wishful thinking::

Madness!

JANFAN4L said:

but what surprised the shit out of me was when they produced China love on All 4 U

ABeautifulOne said:

That is my favorite song on All For You! Love how they weaved in Erik Satie's "Gymnopedie".

CinisterCee said:

Whoa. Go head, boy. You know your music.

CinisterCee said:

hold up now what r u talking bout?
