GrayKing,

You're so silly... and TOTALLY wrong!!!!

JANFAN4L said:

Cool. Both "janet" and "The Velvet Rope" were robbed (and those might be my favorite two albums). I find it interesting that "All For You" got a pop album nod and not an R&B nod. They were diffently listening to the AFY album becuase it was very pop while "Damita Jo" is much more R&B based (even though R&B is it's biggest weakness).

I LOVE this freakin' album!

*cues up SloLove*

You are all of me.
And all that you're showin' me
Is so beyond belief.
I'm livin' a dream.

Baby, take it to another level tonight.
Express our lovin' in the music.
Baby, don't you realize that this is the time
That I am yours and you will be all miiine!


*pump up the bass*

Oh, I wanna tell you all I wanna do, do is (*pant pant*)
Uh, uh all the day through 'n (*ah ah*)
Slo, slo lovin' undercover take it up, nice and slow.

Oh, I wanna tell you all I wanna do, do is (*pant pant*)
Uh, uh all the day through 'n (*ah ah*)
Slo, slo lovin' undercover take it up, nice and slo-ow.

And now my favorite little line...

Freeze this moment please,
Don't wanna get it outta my head



Can't control the heat when our bodies meet.

Baby, take it to another level tonight.
So excited I'm beyond control.
Baby, don't you realize that this is our time?
DIDN'T YOU KNOW IT?! DIDN'T YOU KNOW IIIT?!

RN got completely robbed

Go on, grrrl!

VoicesCarry said:

I know! That album yielded 8 Grammy nods and won one.

I don't think the committee understood the kind of album they had on their hands at the time. I'm pretty sure the competition wasn't up to snuff.

JANFAN4L said:

sorry but i hate slolove it makes me think of paris in a carnival.xcept i love paris and the video is tacky

JANFAN4L said:

I think they were too busy nominating Paul Simon for his global noises during the '86-'89 period.

Like A Prayer didn't get an album or record of the year nod, either.

And RN not getting either was just ridiculous.

ABeautifulOne said:

The video? There is a video for "SloLove"? What? What, what!

VinnyM27 said:

There is none. It sounds like ABO is confusing SloLove with Because Of Love, which does indeed feature a tacky video of Janet & pals in Paris.

VoicesCarry said:

Damn it! It really looks like an effort to push DJ is over and has been since "All Nite", huh? Thanks.

VinnyM27 said:

Rumor is that Janet's already working on a new project.

VoicesCarry said:

Shit! I'd highly doubt it's a new album, considering how she works (as well as the idea that it isn't smart to follow up a not very well recieved album with something new so quickly).

VinnyM27 said:

VoicesCarry said:

Yeah, I reat at MTVNews.com that Janet is dropping a new album in '05. I hope it's all brand new material.

JANFAN4L said:

oh, me too! but i hope it's actually BRAND NEW material, and not Janet's idea of "brand new material" (ie, rehashing the "janet." album over and over).

GrayKing said:

BAIT.

VoicesCarry said:

TRUTH.

GrayKing said:

It's your erroneous perception of the "truth," a false reality, so to speak. BUT I WILL AGREE THAT I'M HAPPY ABOUT THE NEW CD!!!!!

VoicesCarry said:

TRUTH.

GrayKing said:

Because The Velvet Rope is so much like janet.

VoicesCarry said:

well, it's not dissimilar from it. but as i've said before. it's like making a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy. the farther you get away from the original, the worse it gets. The Velvet Rope is saved from being a crap rehash of the "janet." album by actually being good. the other two, not so much. it's the law of diminishing returns setting in....

GrayKing said:

Sorry, TVR is not only better than janet., but completely different structurally. Hardly a fluffy pop record like janet. was. In a million years you never would have heard Got 'Til It's Gone on janet.

VoicesCarry said:

"completely different structurally" ... yeah, they moved the orgasm up a few tracks from the end.

it's not a million miles away from the "janet." album. TVR is actually my favorite. however, i'm not so gaga over it that i don't recognize that she was repeating herself.

GrayKing said:

So Marvin Gaye features sex on record after record, and that's perfectly OK, but when Janet does it (with janet. and then TVR), you complain about repetition. Ok then.
