Interestingly enough I was in Kindergarten.

I never have understood what Janet was trying to rock on her head for the cover of Control...

It was the '80s. The '80s were all about hair. I guess you had to be there.

sextonseven said:

I know but it she looks like she got a damn tree top or something sitting in the top of her head...

ABeautifulOne said:

hey...if you think that was bad check out tempest bledsoe in season four or five of The Cosby Show.

20 years already??? damn, i still remember when it first came out and one of my cousins had a copy of it on vinyl...

i feel old as hell now.

Oh, Nick at Nite doesn't lie lol

I remember the '87 Grammy performance of this song. That was a great, very high-energy performance. I was lucky enough to find a dubbed VHS copy of it and it completely wows you. I'm amazed at the stamina Janet had to pull that off. She was doing flips, dancing her a** off, leading her band. Man, it was crazy.

control this

There you go.

Female: What's up, grrrl?

Janet: He stood me up AGAIN...

Female: AGAIN?

Janet: Umm-hmm.

Female: Well, what's up with this guy? Do you really like him that much?

Janet: Yes, honey, I him. He is FINE. He does a lot of nice things for me.

Female: I know he *used* to do nice stuff for you... but WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR YOU LATE-LY?

Are there any plans for an anniversary release? With remastered remixes and b-sides. I'd love to get my hands on that Nasty Cool Summer Remix Part II.

im SO lovin how u dissed Paula Abdul aka female

it was a long rise, and quicker fall.... hope she can find it again.

So far, no real talk of a remastered Control package has surface on Janet's public relations front. Most of the press and energy is largely focused on her upcoming studio album, which is now slated for a summer 2006 release.

As far as the Cool Summer mix of Nasty, it is available on the Control: The Remixes CD [IMPORT] (1987, A&M Records).

I will definitely keep you posted if anything on Control arises.

that wasnt paule saying that..just lipsyncing for the video..

was it lisa keith who said it?

sosgemini said:

It was Johnny Gill.

sosgemini said:

I wasn't trying to diss Paula, there.

The "Female" Jan was conversing with was session vocalist Melanie Andrews.

I Like every song, And I do mean EVERY song on the Control album. Not only was it Janets break out record. But it was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis's crowning moment as producers.

I once did a beat with the WHYDFML intro bit.

JANFAN4L said:

Can I just say UHHH-HUHHH to all those who find it hard to believe that this mutha came out 20 years ago!!! LAWD it don't seem like that long ago

RipHer2Shreds said:

use to be a time when you would pimp on me

The dub version of "What Have You Done For Me Lately" is killer. I used make my own super remix combining it and the regular extended version with the pause button on my cassette deck.

JANFAN4L said:

oh,my bad i really thought it was Paula...I thought u were dissing b/c of her whole "i taught Janet how 2 dance"~or some BS she said.

PleasurePrinciple said:

Did she really say that? I know she lists wokring with Jan on her official website, but I've never heard of her making statements like that.

not her exact words but somethin along those lines.and Of course it wouldnt say somethin like that on her official website "i taught Janet Jackson everything she knows"~shed get some nasty comments.
