Hey, I like people who can sing. Not my fault you fall for pop trends.

Must be a damn good trend for lasting over 20 years.

i guess, if you can't come up with something new, go back to your most popular cd (control), even 20 years later and sample your own shit. You can pay yourself roalties.

Namepeace, THANK YOU. You know, I've been doing a lot of research on Janet's career over the course of my Control :: the 20th anniversary series, digging through archives, old magazine clippings, listening to old interviews, talking to people on the street, getting fan accounts from people who witnessed Control when it impacted -- and found myself re-energized in the process. What I've discovered is that I'm continually fascinated by this woman and what she's managed to accomplish over the course of a quarter of a century.

For me, Janet exhibits someone who is unabashedly human. All throughout her narrative, there's this "struggle," the constant need to prove something -- whether it be talent, ability, intelligence, self-worth, etc. In many respects, Janet's mirrors mine own. To me, she sonically captures the struggles, the joys, the pain that is life. And she really came at a time when I needed that message. I almost feel indebted to *not forget* what she did, to some degree, since so often in an arena as fickle as "pop" we tend to undervalue what one has accomplished. In her music, I honestly feel what it is that she is saying.

Now, I don't wish for everyone in the world to go run out and buy her albums. No. I'm never that silly. Just *remember* what it was that she did (...and she must have done something if she has some black kid in L.A. passionately going through all this stress over her on a music board. Heh.) A person can hate all they want -- and they will long after I'm gone -- but I just hope that, ultimately, people will remember what she DID DO... and don't forget the impact of what she put out on the pop map. And your last sentence shows me that there are people who have not -- and that right there is the most I could ask for out of a thread like this.

- JANFAN4L.

Rhythm Nation Favor, anyone?!?

Drink this Janet-basher:

Tell your girl Jan to get rid of that talentless midget and stop singing about her coochie and we'll talk..

JANFAN4L said:

Well, all of this mess wasn't in the initial post when I first saw it, but...Negative, hate-filled post? "Stress"?? It's an opinion man. Not everyone will feel the same way you do about every.single.thing. Jeez, there are some thinskinned people on the internet..

well i wouldn't say she is "AS LEGENDARY AND INNOVATIVE AS EVER". i don't care if she's fat or not. granted she's a great dancer but she's not musically adept in my view.

i understand your anger here. hell, sometimes it's not easy being a Prince fan as i'm sure you know. Janet brings you some kind of joy so revel in it.

just my two cents.

JANFAN4L keep doin the damn thing with these threads. I enjoy them so much as a Janet fan. She's in the same league as Prince when it comes to getting their records the first day and always following what they do. Don't let negativity bring you down. Besides, isn't a new album coming out this year? Keep it movin and have fun while doin it!

What's next for the Control 20th anniversary threads?

Man, I just heard the "Top Heavy Remix" for "All For You".... I ignored it because I didn't know DJ Premier fucken did it. Shit's cool.

This is really not that serious

Apparently to JANFAN4L it is...

I mean, i'm also bothered if people don't like the same performers I do. Especially if they state their differing opinion on an internet forum...

Rogue588 said:

That's petty shit. I'm a huge Prince fan, and ya'll know how he gets dogged but I'm not bitter about it. Everybody isn't gonna love the same person you know. But then again, there's no need to get nasty about it. Unless it's Madonna or *insertcurrentteenybopperpopstarhere*..then it's no holds barred.

LOVE Janet. She knows what she does well, and she's more consistent with it than...well, at least the rest of her family!

SECOND & LAST UPDATE ::: BOTTOMLINE... this thread demonstrated to me that the internet is full of cyber-punks who talk a lot of yap behind a computer screen but can't back it up. RIVERPOET31, I sent you an orgnote a while ago and you READ IT and didn't even have the decency to respond to it and acknowledge my heartfelt feelings. What you said was highly disrespectful to me and the Janet fan community (it hit me at the core when I read that) but since you don't want to respond to it, it just shows me the nature of this anonymous ass beast we call the world wide web... moreover, it shows that y'all can't back up the shit you say. So from here on out, I'm gonna classify all of the negativity and disrespect aimed towards my musical taste and me in general as NOISE. Y'all are saying a bunch of nothing, so fuck it. Keep hatin', do what you do best. RIVERPOET31, you're an internet punk, plain and simple. You would never say that shit posted on here to my face. You demonstrated this when you ignored my kindhearted, sincere orgNote. I sincerely approached you one-on-one, it didn't even have to go here, but I'm glad it did because it shows me that y'all aren't doing shit but talking.

Just know that there are folks at the org who take this music thing seriously. And when you talk about someone's taste that goes BEYOND just hating on a particular artist, you are hitting at the core of a person. To you, she may not be shit, but DON'T TELL *ME* what the fuck is good music, who I should listen to and who the fuck I should "care" for. Y'all should know me by now on the org. I NEVER JUDGE PEOPLE based on who and what they like. I follow the rules and treat everyone's musical taste with relativism (and have done that for the past four years on the Org). Nothing irks me more than somebody not allowing me to be an individual. You could've just said "Fuck Janet" or something trivial and leave it at that, but when you came for me and my music taste and proliferated that same attitude in other threads, that's when you crossed the line and when you didn't acknowledge my sincerity, that's when I had to call you out as a shittalker. I wash my hands of you, keep on being anonymous and random. I will never take anything you igits say on the internet seriously anymore on account of Riverpoet31, so thank you. My mind has been alleviated. www.h-a-t-e.com doesn't matter to me and it won't get the time of day in my eyes anymore. There is no need for this unnecessary stress.

From here on out all of the shit that's being popped in this thread AND ON THE INTERNET IN GENERAL is NOISE.



The end.

im suprised i was mention in this thread..i think i'm a bit snobby when it comes to music..wait i take that back i dont want to be attack by janet jackson.

Riverpoet31 was doing the same shit over in the Prince Music section about 3121 too. He's trying to start stuff cause he's desperate for attention. Losers do silly shit like that.

Who cares what riverpoet thinks? Seriously.

minneapolisgenius said:

who cares about you..? seriously...

I don't mind Janet. My fav album by her is "Janet" but I do believe she is over-rated and I would like to know how well her career would have fared if her surname was different.

I thought this riverpoet31 user is banned? Probably because of that ridicious Prince aint black thread he started earlier this week?

BTW I love me some janet jackson and I got songs from her from 1982-2000. Ya remember her singing those good joints such as Young Love and Say U Do back in '82?

You go JanFan41 with yo bad self.
