Please, Jay, stop defending Madonna like it's your job I'm not defending this song and you have every right to your opinion and I won't get my pantyhose in a knot about it. Just as I have a right to an opinion about "Hung Up". Thanks

One of the first sounds I noticed in this "Weekend" song was the industrial Rhythm Nation whirr.

You know the noise behind "get the point? good. let's dance."

She also uses a snippet of the "Nasty" keyboard in there.

VoicesCarry said:

Didn't catch it.

CinisterCee said:

I HEARD IT TOO...5 times already!


I like the song. Definitley not a first track starter, but a very good "last track" for the album...if it was to have some better vocals at the end.

I like the damn song. Missy was the last one to cover Freestyle, Ciara and Jazze Pha kinda bringin it back too, and now Janet. BRING IT BACK!!! Love Freestyle 80's shit.

Understanding how everyone sayin there aint no break in it....but IM SO HAPPY! This is better than what I expected. If this is an indication of what is 2 come Im very excited!

When I first heard the song, I knew paisley & Cinnie would be all over it

Real dissapointed with Janet, its crap. Even "all for you" is tons time better. Damn this is weaker then all night.

yeah!!!! i NOTICED THAT TOO. iT GOT ME EXCITED!

BLAME JERMAINE DUPRI !

UncleGrandpa said:

Actually this sounds like a Jam & Lewis production....there's no "So So Def" callout on it.

It sounds like Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

OK then, BLAME JAM&LEWIS! I know most love the guys, but who else beside Janet have they worked with where the song is just an extended sample with new lyrics ?
( besides Mary J's - No Drama Y&R loop )

UncleGrandpa said:

This is a COVER of "Lookout Weekend"!

Her voice, sorry it just doesnt work.

Diddy said:

It ain't her voice. WHATEVER THEY DID TO HER VOICE, THIS IS NOT JANET JACKSON, y'all! And this is the main problem I have with this record. They processed the vocals in some nasty, unnecessary way. They completely raped her smooth, sweet tone, which is what defines her vocals. Now she just sounds.....NOT like Janet. She sounds anonymous.

Lets just hope this isnt gona be the "new single" and just a gift.

CinisterCee said:

I remember the original way back in 85, Junior High Dance. I doubt it will end up on the album, I amy actually buy her CD, I haven't bothered since 92. Where's JANFAN when you need her?

VoicesCarry said:

I must co-sign this.

Diddy said:

Thats all it is... A GIFT !!
It's a fun cute song....Janet's Real Single is gonna be Sick!!!

Can you imagine if they processed her voice like that for the whole album?

UncleGrandpa said:

JANFAN is gone. Forever.

Its too processed...way over processed with the digital sounds...I hope this comes with a bangin video

I like it, but I'm tired of retro 80's sounds from Gwen Stefani, Jlo and now JJ. Give me somethin new, not rehashed..

Its sooooo boring. Weekends by Black Eyed Peas f/ Esthero (from the Bridging the Gap cd) is much much much better.

This sounds like Latoya Jackson. This had better not be on the new cd!

The vocals are boring. The production is boring. The sample is TIRED.

It's very similar to "Control Myself", so this is JD's influence for better or worse. Hopefully it's just one track, and won't be the album. That being said, I still can't hear the whole track! I can't stand my slow connection!

Ellie said:

Those songs are very similar.

The song is not bad. It had my toes tapping and it stays true to the original song but it's not grabbing me the way All For You did in 2001. I'm not feeling her vocals at all. They just don't sound right to me. I would like for this CD to be 80's sounding but more than that, I want some great dance songs from Janet again. She's been holding back for a while.
