A great girl trio from the late 70's.

Awww for the love of %#!@%&$ ... I like that song and I do not relish the thought of hearing Janet sing over a loop of it.

At least maybe some people will be turned on to the Jones Girls because of her.

That's why sampling isn't completely evil.

For some reason I keep on thinking Janet will be singing over "Sexy Mama" by The Moments.

I think it's because The Firm sampled that one AND that Jones Girls song.

That was a number 1 album, wasn't it? I have never listened to it.

did anyone see mariah on dick clark?

oy!!

Lipsynching 90% of her material, wearing a teddy in the middle of Times Square.

Par for the course for '05 Mariah.

Don't look at DJ as representative of what this album will be. It isn't even representative of the album Janet was originally set to release before the SB. Her work with Kanye was rushed by Virgin and they tacked those two tracks on there for the revised (post-SB) tracklisting because they were so non-controversial and non-sexual. This time they're letting her do her own thing because they fucked DJ up badly.

Asking if Janet can still dance is like asking if Madonna can still do the moves during her tours. Of course they are not going to release the album if she is 40lbs overweight. The last pics we have of her are from November, and she was working with her trainer back then. She has gained weight between albums for the past 20 years now.

whitney now has oprah flags...real bad ones under her arms..ive defended the girl's weight for a long time now but she is passing that "thick" stage and appears headed towards aretha-dome.

she aint there yet but she is no longer a "thick" girl.

Whitney? Whitney will never be fat....ever!

CinisterCee said:

Don't know about songwriters, but here are producers:

Confirmed:

-Kwame
-Kanye
-JD
-Jam & Lewis

Rumored:

-Dr. Dre

CinisterCee said:

He is executive producer. He is also producing a few tracks (majority is Jam & Lewis, though).

He said he will not be guesting on any of the tracks, thank God. No So So Def bullshit.

CinisterCee said:

Oh my god it's so true. Just because of Madonna's latest album and the samples she denies but are definitely there, I've picked up two GREAT tracks from two artists I have now gotten into that I hadn't really known much of before.

The Jacksons--"Can You Feel It" (bought the Essential Jacksons--Classic!)

Donna Summer--"I Feel Love" (bought her greatest hits--ditto).

Abba I still ain't feeling...but CC is right. that's the beauty of samples.

VinnyM27 said:

i corrected my statement..i meant mariah.

VoicesCarry said:

You know what I always liked? Those So So Def Bass compliations? Those were great...Janet should get into that for a track or two!

VinnyM27 said:

agree....

VoicesCarry said:

Kwame? Killpatrick? I thoght JD was not going to be a producer/songwriter. At this rate, count on another "Damita Jo". Bring back the guys that did "All Nite" (althought their contribution to Madonna's latest wasn't great..hell, have Stuart Price work with her or is that too obivious).

VinnyM27 said:

The two Swedish dudes who did All Nite are back, too. Forgot about them.

And it's a terrible idea to have her work with Stuart, IMHO.

VoicesCarry said:

I'm glad the Swedes are back...yeah, Janet and Stuart probably wouldn't work as well as Madonna and Stuart but maybe for a change of pace...a track or two.

VinnyM27 said:

I never want to hear Stuart's production again, except on remixes

...aaaaand it's officially a Madonna thread.

CinisterCee said:

I'm "Sorry"..

Stuart was just a suggestion. How about a non-Madonna dance producer like Metro?
