Between these 3 new cds, I can't decide which one is the worst. I'd rank Beyonce the worst today, followed by Janet.

I'd give the honor to Christina Aguilera, myself, as I was most disappointed by hers. Maybe there was too much hype about her CD or something....

Next would be Justin "I don't have a personality beyond my latest influence" Timberlake's.

I like Beyonce's a lot. And from what I've heard of Janet's, I'd say it's passable (compared to her latest work).

I haven't heard Justin's or Janet's but Beyonce's suxx!!

you think beyonce's sux? really? i really like it. it's growing on me alot. i like the 70's influence on some of the tracks.

I wouldn't know... I haven't listened to any of them

Justin is alright man; janet has no talent really and beyonce is her own biggest fan but with nothing more than a good voice.

I think I understand why some people 'hate' Justin..
But don't act a fool, his latest has itegrity..
In that it actually sounds like an album..unlike most
of the R&B records..

R&B:

The most creatively bankrupt genre of the last decade..

Yeah..so bite me..

ummm... beyonce's bidet

I hate to admit this to myself but I'll come clean. Justin's new cd is actually
listenable. OK. Its pretty good. I burned it and found myself enjoying it. I had real low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. His televison performances are still lackluster but his latest project is worth listening to.
Only heard a couple of Janet's tracks and so far thay are underwhelming. Beyonce is fallin into Jennifer Lopez territory. Music,movies,clothing lines and a high profile realtionship. She is doing too much. OVEREXPOSED! Anyone?
Her cd is alright.

I'm starting to like Justin's a bit myself.

I like Justin's largely for its slick production, which is really thanks to Timbaland I suppose. IMO, Justin's vocals have gotten a bit weaker.

I like Bey's too for the big band sound & 70's feel on many of the records, plus she is SANGIN' like I've never heard her do on some of the tracks. I just think they could've added more songs to the album, its pretty short. Definitely an upgrade from boring "Dangerously In Love." She has alot of singles on here.

Have no interest to hear Janet's.

Like someone else said, I was mainly dissapointed with Christina's double album. There are some strong cuts, but alot of filler to me. It definitely does not touch "Stripped" at all. It would've been best to have left it as a single disc. Matter of fact, I took the tracks I liked from each album & modified my own version of the album.

Oh, the album, not the person? I have no interest in any of them I have no idea why I'm here! Maybe because we're commenting on who's worst. Here's my prediction based on what I know (beginning with "worst"):

1. Janet--no real talent to speak of, and her style is just a subset of her brother (though she works with talented producers). Her only redeeming quality is her smile & relative normalcy.

2. Justin--sings decently, but he has no stye of his own. He's trying very hard to be good.

3. Beyonce--has a bit of style, some talent, but oversings and panders to pop ideals. What she does seems the most genuine of the three--which is not to say she's genuine!

I like something from all of them, but Janet is the one who has not done anything interesting for me lately, although I used to love her back in the "janet" era.

justin is better than beyonce in terms of creativity and willing to experiment!

I love how you people say Janet has no talent but yet you people probably can't do half the shit she does

mikek1 said:

Maybe. Some creativity is better than none, I guess! Purely for music I would probably prefer his to Beyonce's.

But Justin's creativity doesn't seem to be is own, rather an imitation of someone elses? I don't see much of Justin in Justin.

Beyonce doesn't seem to be trying to be something she's not, and that carries weight for me.

I wonder if Justin or Beyonce will STILL be around when they turn 40. Janet to me is just as good now as she was back then. It's unfortunate that the industry is obsessed with youth, but that's what they're pushing.

Christina

Im dissapointed in Beyonce's rushed album..though ti is indeed shorter and a lil more n-joyable than the debut to me...it lacks real substance.

They supposely recorded the enrire cd in 2 weeks.

dancerella said:

Yes...I surely do!! 70's influence? I don't hear it!!

shortstuff45220 said:

With practice, ANYONE can nail down her dance routines. It's not like Janet can even freestyle or choreograph her moves herself.

6sixx6 said:

BEYONCE!!!

Janet's CD is very good and Justin's too!

Which is worst, or which is better?

Well, as much as I don't want 2 like JT, Justin clearly has the best CD out of the three - and is selling like so. Justin's songs really resonate with you and many Prince fans enjoy the Prince-like quality it has. Timberland and Timberlake are the best duo since Micheal and Quincy....they bring the best out of each other. As I'm writing this, the track, Sexyback has grown on me and know I cant get it outta my head...the CD's tracks are more unique and should appeal to all races, genders, and ages alike.

Beyonce has the next best CD - her vocals are top notch as usual - the production is more geared towards the teeny-boopers than Justins...which is pretty weird. It would have been nice 2 include a few grown n sexy type tracks. However, the CD does have a few gems - Greenlight, Freakumdresss, Ring The Alarm, Upgrade U, and Kitty Kat are standouts for me but there are more mediocre tracks than Justin has. IN additon, there's not enough sexy slow jams, I mean, this girl can sing - I want to hear that on her CD. Basically, both CD's are good and have enough quality to keep you listening.

And finally,

Janet, well, her CD is not as good as the aforementioned, but Janet is actually less talented (I know the orgers are gonna curse me out, but whatever..) than Beyonce and Justin, so it's cool. With Janet, it is, what it is, she was a superstar in the 80's - I loved her to death, but she has better competition now -and her competition is doing the same genre of music and appealing to the same audience...I will say that her new CD is better than Damita Jo.

Perhaps the most forgotten superstar of recent CD releases is the uderrated, Christina Aguleria. I don't know who produces her material or is in charge of her promotion, but she still has not found her niche. I mean, she sells records, but I just cant put my finger on it - the media doesn't gravitate towards her the way they do Janet, Justin, and Beyonce... Also, I'm not sure if Christina has defined who her target audience is?...her voice is very mature but she loks like a teenager so maybe its a hard sell, who knows? Aint no Other - I thought should been a big hit?...it came out, it did ok, and then it was gone...

jt's the man; fuck what the ignorant haters say.

christina has become boring!!!!

I'm pretty much bored by all the albums, except Janet which I haven't heard yet. Which made this slow learner realize that I need to stop buying pop cd's. The two cd's I've loved the most and have spun the most are "Loose" and "Continnuum".
