Well I used to be a huge MJ fan back in the day, I loved Janet's albums too. Actually my mom got the tape "You're gonna get rocked" she played it alot and I kinda got into LaToya.

Actually I think she's really crazy though. I read her biography a long time ago and she was like on Geraldo like all the time talking about her brother...I actually thought she used to be quite beautiful.

She should've left the nose as it was then , imo .
Now it has that weird pointy jacko-shape .


This is her 1984 album which has the solid track Betcha Can't Lose With My Love ,
produced by Amir Bayaan a.k.a. Robert "Kool" Bell

She was really pretty back in the day before she butchered her face. The album cover of the cd I have is a nice picture of her. I don't know why she felt the need to do that. So what is you're gonna get rocked like? I don't know why i'm so intrigued by her all of a sudden but she definitely seems looney!

LaToya was a pretty fine back in the day but the best looking Jackson girl was Rebbie. Around the time the Jacksons had their variety show, she was looking good.

heeeeey.... thats what i told my sister yesterday.... cause rebbie over all looked the best out of the jackson girls and she aged very well

dancerella said:

Oh I remember it sounding really like eighties pop. You should check out the link on this thread to the video. The song isn't THAT bad but it sounds really dated.

they keep pushing it back don't know why,a few months ago I heard one of the new tracks that leaked and surprisingly I liked it,it's the type of song that could become a hit had it been released by some current Pop youngin,no masterpeice but still listenable.

BTW do you guys like Reggae Night by Jimmy Cliff it was a hit in the 80s,she co wrote it. I was like when I saw her name in the credits!

Not shure , but it is said that Pops Joe used to humiliate Michael when his face & nose grew during puberty ,
which can be a disastrous experience in that stage or a later fase in your life .
So i don't now if he also did that to Latoya or Janet .
I think there's a deep lying issue to it , cause once they've took the decision to change their face , it can be a non-stoppable process . This is clearly visible with MJ & Latoya . If they've been humiliated in their childhood about their nose , there might be the chance that no matter how they change it , they still see that big humiliated nose . Janet also adapted her nose but it didn't get to the extreme .

She looks really beautiful here.

I think this is the biggest problem that peeps have with MJ and Co, why would someone who is naturally very attractive butcher their face to such an extent. ?True, it's the norm in Hollywood to have a little something done to one's face, but there is a different from having the odd nose job, to completely buying your self a completely, different face, that is no way as attractive as your original face....

This interview sums it up for what I think of La Toya: http://www.youtube.com/wa...g8JVpgWRu8

what is that thing on Michael's nose?

DavidEye said:

I think someone deliberately did a photoshop job

It's a watermark, ppl apply to the footage they upload.

Why would u buy that??

sexxydancer said:

you mean the cd? for different reasons. curiosity and also being a die hard fan of all things 80's it came out in 1980 so i thought i'd take a chance on it. it's not as bad as most people would think.

dancerella said:

I downloaded the song "A taste of you", and i liked it, i might have to buy the album too. I think there are plans to re-release some of her other albums too, i would love to hear the album 100MPH mentioned, "Heart don`t lie"
I`ve had the "Bad girl" cd for a time, but i rarely listen to it...

Icicle said:

See, some of it isn't so bad. If you feel the funk is pretty hot! Oh man, please don't make me more curious to seek out the rest of her cds. Bad Girl must be a trip. What is it like?

minneapolisgenius said:

dancerella said:

There are three decent songs, "Sexual feeling". "(Do the) Salsa)" and "Playboy"
I think she needs a GOOD song to make it work. Songs like "If you feel the funk"
takes the foucus off her voice. Most on the songs on "bad girl" doesn`t manage to do that, and reveals how weak her voice is.
The whole album does also sound VERY dated, and not in a good way


I`m very curious about her new album, i`ve heard the song "Tropical breeze" is beautiful...

"your gonna get rocked" has 3 full force productions on them (including the title track). Those tracks are cool.


"u blew" is a great track. Cheesy as hell though



(full force member):- i'll teach u ur ABC's baby, i'll be there"
Latoya :- well alright
(full force member):- just like ur brother used to say, i want u back, ooooo baby....."


Love that part

Icicle said:

"playboy" has the biggest snares LOL. "he's my brother" is hilarious, whilst i actually like "bad girl". So, so cheesy (even more so then "ur gonna get rocked, which had some funky cheese lets say)

"you can count on me" is ok too.

thesexofit said:

I`ve started listening to the album again, "Sexual feeling" is kinda FUN (if that`s the right word...) I love it when she says "what does she want" over and over again
This thread is making me crazy, i was about to buy her horrible album of motown songs the other day (the album she recorded in one hour...)

I will buy the album dancerella bought though, cause i`ve read some great reviews, and heard some tracks.

dancerella said:

Not @ all !
My collection of funk/soul/jazz-funk is based on the 80's .
There are much underground and unfamiliar releases which didn't reach the commercial mainstream charts .
People sometimes tend to misconcept the 80's as a shitty musical era .

Rebbie is a better singer than Latoya and Janet. Anyone Remember "Centipede"??? Hey do any of you remember or know Latoya did a version of Princes "Private Joy"? I remember hearing it in the early 80's on the radio in Detroit. It was aweful. But I remember reading that Prince had a real crush on her back then.
