Shut em down, Janet!!. Can't wait to see your new video "So Excited" on BET access granted tonight.

she looks pretty good on the cover of Ebony

the weave is sorta bad..but the bod...greeeeeaaaat!

eff yes

i hope she has an inredibly successful record! i wish call on me was number one on the pop charts as well.

how the fuck can a song be #1 R&B and OUT of the pop top 40--is there that much of a gap in audience impressions?

I really want "So Excited" to go Top 10 on pop charts. Hope so.

The last I saw it was #6 R&B in Billboard. I haven't seen the new charts yet.

It is good that janet simply has a top ten R&B hit. She does
not have to cater to the pop charts. If they want janet, let them
come to janet. All janet need is a good R&B album that all R&B fans
can enjoy. She has had her share of pop success with number one hits,etc.
It is unfair to ask artists like janet to try to live up to past success
especially given the sad state of music today.

This sing is If this Garbage is #1 I don't even wanna know what the next 9 are.

Have faith in the UK then, she's midweek #164 on downloads alone It gets released properly next week, but most future Top 10s enter the VERY least at #30 on downloads.

I just checked on billboard.com and "Call On Me" is indeed #1 R&B next week. This is a surprise to me since it dropped 6-7 the week before. The rest of the U.S. R&B top 10 since you were dying to know:

1. Janet & Nelly - Call On Me

2. Chingy Featuring Tyrese - Pullin' Me Back

3. Ne-Yo - Sexy Love

4. Young Dro Featuring T.I. - Shoulder Lean

5. Yung Joc Featuring Brandy 'Ms. B.' Hambrick - I Know You See It

6. Lyfe Jennings - S.E.X.

7. Beyonce Featuring Jay-Z - Deja Vu

8. Ludacris Featuring Pharrell - Money Maker

9. Sean Paul Featuring Keyshia Cole - (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me

10. Chris Brown - Say Goodbye

THAT'S what they call "rhythm & blues" nowadays? Criminy..

Rhondab said:

Yes she does in a PLASTIC kind of way.

I only know 2 songs up there. I must be more out of touch with today's R&B than I thought. Not that I have a problem with that...

I'm happy 4 Janet .

squiddyren said:

I'd like to hear theAudience's opinion of today's "R&B".

badujunkie said:

"Call On Me" shoots back up to #37 (from #52) on the Hot 100 next week. Anyone know what's the reason for the sudden turnaround?

JD went shopping?

JackieBlue said:

For downloads on itunes maybe.

sextonseven said:

Damn.....I would NOT spend 5 cent on any of that trash.....except maybe Lyfe.

I like Luda's new one.

Lyfe needs to shut up during his songs....


Call on me has grown on me....I actually sing the damn song everytime I hear it and I've actually always sort of liked Deja Vu. I hate Ring the Alarm...

sextonseven said:

JD put out a limited supply of cd singles with extras about 2 weeks ago which increased the chart position.

You couldn't pay me to listen to any of that sh!t.

uPtoWnNY said:

I hear you. I'm AMAZED that the public buys this trash.

squiddyren said:

You stole my post....damnmmmmm.....R&B really is in a sad state these past years. Ne-Yo is the only decent thing I see on the charts. I love Janet, not that song though.

sextonseven said:

why does nearly every song have to be a collaboration with another artist? What...nobody can get a hit record by themselves anymore??


R&B is in such a sorry state right now.The only halfway decent song on that chart is Beyonce's "Deja Vu".At least it's fast and catchy.

Around seven years ago I noticed this disturbing trend start up.
An "atrist" would release a 15 song album and every song featured at least two other "artists". Especially in the hip hop genre. Now If one sings or raps a single verse in 15 songs(the equivilant of 5 songs), how can one call that ones album?

It's a fucking collaboration. These modern-day motherfuckers are lazy.

They haven't only been skimpin' on the music with their weak "beats" but on lyrics as well. We all know the content has gone to shit but now the even the lyrics themselves have declined.

Crazy.

Ah, I see. I'm gonna have to find that.

dseann said:

Right now I'm listening to some Curtis Mayfield(Superfly soundtrack), and I'm telling you, today's R&B "artists" should be ashamed of themselves. How did it get this bad? I know I probably sound like an out-of-touch old man, but it's the truth.

Unfortunately somebody's buying this sh!t.

uPtoWnNY said:

It's NOT the artists, it's the CONSUMERS that r causing this.

uPtoWnNY said:

Curtis Mayfield? Shiiiiit..... I've got only one album of his "Give It Up" but it will do. "One Love/People Get Ready", da bomb.

I think it's cool to be an out of touch old man where music is concerned. I'm 35, still young I think, but I agree with you. Let the MUSIC play.
