I own this DVD and it's a pretty good summary of mostly all of the videos she made during the Virgin Records-era from 1993 to 2004. But, instead of just releasing a simple videos compilation, it would've been wiser if they released a companion CD to this DVD. Here's the tracklisting: "That's the Way Love Goes" "If" "Again" "Because of Love" "Any Time, Any Place" "You Want This" "Got 'Til It's Gone" [Featuring Q-Tip & Joni Mitchell] "Together Again" "I Get Lonely" [Original Version] "Go Deep" " You" " Every Time" "Together Again" [Deeper Remix] "All For You" "Someone to Call My Lover" [So So Def Remix Feat. JD] "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song is About You)" "I Want You" "All Nite (Don't Stop)" Virgin should have released a companion cd with the dvd but it wasn't really time for a dvd because if and when a GH set comes people are going really be mad to already own most of that dvd(if there ever will be one) and they already have most of the videos from the "janet. to Damita Jo" dvd. | |

I definitely agree! It seems pretty strange and misleading for Virgin to even release the same videos over and over without a compilation of her biggest hits on the label. Since her latest album, 20 Y.O. completes her multi-album deal with Virgin Records, i believe this is the appropriate time for Virgin to release a compilation. It will certainly help the sales and popularity of 20 Y.O. grow a little more. [Edited 10/22/06 12:22pm] Check me out and add me on:

I remember reading a fan writing to a magainze about the fact "Design" wasn't selling for that reason....Most people that would be attracted to it already own both albums (if not all three, with "janet") and they better off buying the maxi single for both new songs (I think "Twenty Four Play" had a maxi single release) and it would be cheaper. If I were a causal fan of Janet's, and didn't own either album, I probably wouldn't realize the bulk of the material is from two albums. The fact that they include only one "janet" single is just frustrating....I understand why you hate the collection! The fact that there weren't at least a song from Janet Jackson OR Dream Street that made it on Design Of A Decade makes THAT greatest hits collection an incomplete album, IMO. none of the songs from her first, self-titled album or Dream Street even come close to qualifying as "greatest hits" for Janet, in that none of them were hits, and none of them are great.

I guess that's one thing DOAD has going for it, and the reason I still listen to it. | |

released... unreleased.... what's the difference. it would've never been played/seen anyway. "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |

I can tell you what won't be on it. Anything from her first two albums. With her, only pop hits count. Andy is a four letter word. | |

What's his name again...is he still on the show? I bought Design Of A Decade so I could get Runaway and Twenty Foreplay, and I'm happy with the 7" edits compiled on there... but you get my point.
...and his name is Barkley.  The tracks on the U.S. release were longer than the actual 7" versions. The 7" edits were only on the U.K. version to accommodate the extra tracks "The Best Things In Life Are Free" and "Whoops Now". | |

I want to hear the artist's progression as time goes by. If you want surprise, that's what the shuffle button is for on your player. | |

I'd rather see a Janet slow jams collection, come to think of it.
1. Take Care 2. Anytime Anyplace 3. I Get Lonely 4. Rope Burn 5. Love 2 Love 6. Someday is Tonight 7. With U 8. The Body that Loves You 9. Would You Mind 10. I Want You 11. Thinkin Bout My Ex 12. Come Back to Me 13. Lets Wait Awhile Now THAT shit would be hot. I'll leave it alone babe...just be me | |

what about a 3cd set. called...ummm "Hits & B-sides" that has a familiar ring to it. 
but seriously..if and when they do a hits (i'd prefer a singles) collection, i agree that songs from every album should be included. and don't leave out any singles. they'd also be wise to do the proper promotion for it. maybe this is what it would take for a lot of people/media to regain interest in Janet Jackson and remind them of her great songs and put to rest a single incident that got completely blown out of porportion. maybe she should re-release "Come Back To Me"  | |

[Edited 10/22/06 14:18pm] Fair enough. But die-hard Janetfans remembers those bubblegum soul cult classics like Young Love, Dream Street, and Fast Girls. If A&M & Virgin/EMI were to do another Janet Collection, they need to cover all of her career albums. Janet's music career is a little bigger than only 20 years. | |
