What should Janet's next single be...

to give 20. Y. O. its best shot?

I KNOW some of you don't even like the cd, so I would imagine your answer would be Janet should cut her losses, take a long vacation, get married and maybe start a family before going into films. lol lol

But for those of you who like the cd or for those who simply enjoy discussing the business aspect of the industry, what song should be her next single if you all were marketing or record executives? If this cd follows the same path of DJ, the next single might be its last if the cd doesn't start generating more buzz, so I think the next choice is important. Among FANS, its very close between "Enjoy" and "With You",---"With you" leading a bit at this point.

I think "Enjoy" should be the next single because it's upbeat and has a universal theme, plus it's more "classic" Janet, but then again "With You" is also "classic" Janet but in a different way.

What do you guys think?

Do you think that "With U" has crossover appeal, or do you think that whether or not "With U" would appeal to the pop audience is moot at this point since pop radio isn't giving Janet a shot for a variety of reasons?

Why not "Enjoy"? I've just read that a lot of people really like that song??

"Enjoy" I think is the only single that could save the album. I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to try it after Christmas, though.

Do it 2 Me all the way! That will be huge at urban radio.

Lets face it the chances of a pop hit are zero at this point.
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

Enjoy, definitely. The JD remix will feature a rap which will go:

Enjoy - my shit album bombing/
Enjoy - 07 touring an' no one coming/
Enjoy - my boyfriend's ugly/
Enjoy - quick, best show my other titty
Enjoy - I know this rhymes shitty
Enjoy - YO JD what else rhymes with shitty?

There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

There's hardly any material in this LP that is radio friendly.

With You is a wicked gem though

I'm casting my vote for Enjoy as well. It's the undisputed highlight of the album and I think Team JJ needs take stock of the early Urban spins and go with it.

hmmm actually, based on my own "market research" with people who don't even like Janet... they did like "Enjoy", out of the whole album. Maybe that's the single.

its aight...i prefer it over the first three songs...at least its not trying to be trendy....get rid of the first three songs (four if you include the interlude) and add two solid tracks and i would be cool with This Body being filler.

because taste is subjective and in the public eye general consensus usually wins...


and as of right now, Enjoy wins!!!

Not sure what will save the album, but I really like "Daybreak" and "Get it out me".

"Enjoy" is probably the safest single choice though.
