loving the 2nd half of the record now-a-days. used to be all about the jams up front; i like "call on me" better than ever, especially the bridge and nelly's verse.

peace.

tour anyone?

"Enjoy" is my favorite now.

badujunkie said:

Yeah, i listen to the 2nd half more than the more dance oriented 1st half. Most of those ballads are simply great gems, even though Janet's voice seems to get more high-pitched with each album.

I do...

I must have been one of the 5 orgers that loved the album!

The album from 20 YO Part 2 beyond is awesome...

I only hear it when I sit a glass or bottle on it too quick...it squeeks a little...

No, but I have REALLY been digging Damito Jo lately

thekidsgirl said:

I think that Damita Jo is 10 times better than 20 Y.O! I was listening to that album last nite and it still puts me in a subtle mood everytime I listen to it. Too bad the album flopped because it was a good album...

silverchild said:

I still like 20 Yo more than DJ. Guess that DJ is a mixed affair, some 50% great songs, horrible interludes

MikeMatronik said:

Those interludes on DJ were terrible, though. i personally consider 20 YO as a decent affair because the some of the production sounds too much like an ordinary J. Dupri production. I don't think he did too much of anything to actually make this album sound uplifted and free. It's just like All For You part 2 and then some!

Sometimes I would love that she had merged the best of DJ with 20 YO

i took off the robot voice that says "enjoy" on the beginning of Enjoy.

now when i play that song people in my car aren't instantly turned off.

yes i listen to the 2nd half all the time but my favorite song from 20 y.o is days go by, which of course isnt on the domestic release

even janet doesn't listen to that record anymore. and there is not going to be a tour, sadly.

Nope,but I'll co-sign with anybody listening to Damita Jo still. I played it the other day and it still sounds good. Takes me back to '04.

Ditto! This album, Kanye West's College Dropout and Brandy's Afrodisiac from 2004 were the joints I played heavily back in the spring and summer of that year. Too bad that when Janet released the Damita Jo album it only peaked at #2 on the billboard charts and then dropped instantly.

It's okay. She'd just cancel half the dates anyway.

ouch!

badujunkie said:

i haven't listened to it in a while. (for reasons not directly related to the album) but i do like it. i've been seeing the video for "so excited" pop up a bit more often, and hearing it at a couple clubs. snyone know if there will be a 3rd or 4th single, or is this project done?

sallysassalot said:

source? what about gil's myspace?

Only Daybreak, lovely track

.

The whole LP nop,

Roll Witchu & With U 4 my iPod

badujunkie said:

Same here and I love the single of it that iTunes offers with all the club/dance remixes. I love the track, "So Excited." It is my all time favorite Janet song..EVER. Second only to, "R&B Junkie."

badujunkie said:

I'm pleased for you and Janet. At least six of the fifteen people who bought the album like it.

As for a tour .... a pal of mine who works for EMI here (who own Virgin) tells me that there's a Greatest Hits package planned for "later this year" - two editions - standard hits and a limited edition with another CD of remixes. Possibly a couple of Japanese import/non-album B-sides in there too. Still at the drawing board stage. So she may tour behind that.

Needless to say, I wasn't actually ASKING him about Janet at the time, but about The Stones and John Lydon/Public Image ... But he knows me well.
