Janet or Control? Which one should I get? Her very first cd or Control, which I know is considered classic but what I want to know is which one has a more new waveish sound?? | |

Dream Street is better for the New Wave(ish) sound. | |

Oh yeah, I have that one but it's all scratched up. I should get a new copy. So Control is not very new wavey huh? | |

I don't think so. Well you know it anyway I suppose. There are only 2 tracks that weren't singles, and they're both rubbish IMO. | |

Janet. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

He Doesn't Know I'm Alive - Rubbish Pop
You Can Be Mine - Passable Pop And yes, he did. I have the audio of it too  | |

Control
The only track I probably wouldn't be able to dig (had I not known it since 1986) is "He Doesn't Know I'm Alive". "You Can Be Mine" is a kick-ass album track, and probably rocked more parties than some of her other singles. | |

 I reckon "You Can Be Mine" coulda been a single. | |

moderatorJanet - her best album "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I think i'm sold on getting Control. It may not be new wave but it is 80's and that enough for me! By the way, i have a bad joke to tell. Shouldn't have named the album Birth Control, after the baby rumors?  [Edited 12/15/05 16:00pm] | |

post please. Here ya go! Sorry 'bout the watermarks, but the mag is rare and you can still read the article. I don't know how early she'll have to talk about the rumors before people understand that it really couldn't have been possible for her to have popped out a damn kid.
And dancerella, you *must* get Control
