not sure what it should be called, but she's had some nice slow jams over the years. Janet: Baby-making Music

Let's Wait A While
Funny How Time Flies
Someday is Tonight
Lonely
Comeback to Me
Anytime Anyplace
I Get Lonely
TwentyFourplay
China Love
Love Scene
Rope Burn
Anything
Body That Loves You

i don't have DJ or 20YO what would you all add from those to this list? i think with a couple new joints and some creative packaging it might be a good way to fulfill any remaining obligations to Virgin or just a nice treat for fans.

you should really add One More Chance to the list, since it's her best one.


and she could use that as the title for the disc, as in "hey, I used to be good, see? Won't you give me One More Chance?"

Here's my version...based on my favorite ballads:

Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)
Lonely
Any Time, Any Place
Twenty Foreplay
Moist
Thinkin' Bout My Ex
Love Scene (Ooh Baby)
China Love (I adore this one....BEAUTIFUL!)
Love 2 Love
Where Are You Now
[Edited 5/17/07 14:37pm]

& the title should b:

'awww.and I didn't even get to cum'

i guess Moist, Thinkin' Bout My Ex and Love 2 Love are from the cds i don't have. if they're in the same vein as her other bedroom ballads, i'll trust they're good

i excluded songs like Again, Where R You Now, Everytime, and One More Chance because they are more like laments to me rather than bedroom ballads.

I was thinking about these as a compilation about sex!

How about WOULD YOU MIND that should also be added

I think it should be 2 disc:

one of the sad, pretty songs like Again, One More Chance, Everytime, Lonely, Come Back To Me, Better Days, Let's Wait Awhile, etc.

and one of sexy, come on's like Anytime, Anyplace, 70's Love Groove, Someday Is Tonight, Funny How Time Flies, Anything, Rope Burn, etc.

She could call it Sexed & Vexed.

Between Virgin/EMI and A&M/Universal, that would be a licensing nightmare!
Cool idea though...

would u mind might be too risque. and re-associate her with Nipplegate (not that she will ever be not-associated with it, but u get the point. the goal is to create distance).

u're right tricky, a licensing nightmare indeed

tricky2 said:

that's not a nightmare. that's only 2 labels. in fact, sometimes in those cases, they split the cost/profits down the middle.

mine would go something like this:

1. I want you
2. funny how time flies
3. come back to me
4. i'm here
5. twenty foreplay
6. god's stepchild
7. when we oooo
8. rope burn
9. one more chance
10.together again (deeper mix)
11.anything
12.again
13.with you
14.thinking about my ex
15. sommeday is tonight

I made a Janet slow jam compilation that I had for years. I think I'm one of the few that doesn't care for Tonight's the Night. Something about it bugs me. Maybe her voice but I think I've listened to it all the way through exactly one time.

70s Love Groove is a must. I see love for When We Oooo and China Love--2 of my favorites.

I like the groove of Moist but hate the lyrics.

Yes. That song gets me "SO EXCITED" everytime I hear it.

mancabdriver said:

i was trying to get that done, i like the remix of (alright with me) with heavy d and (together again) remind me of my moms.

datdude said:

sosgemini said:

sosgemini said:

It's from Damita Jo. Be glad you missed it.

HATER!

MikeMatronik said:

I love most Janet ballads. Just not that one.

GangstaFam said:

Like a virgin lover!

MikeMatronik said:

I know you are, but what am I!

GangstaFam said:

Kate Bush's the dreaming is a MASTERPIECE!

...

As a bonus, I'd add "Making Love In The Rain", with Herb Alpert and Lisa Keith

So is the BEEKEEPER!

GangstaFam said:

NAY!

Blasphemy!

Only "Marys of the Seas" is EXCELENT. The rest is "normal songs"

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Like You Don't Love Me."

Xagain said:

Its too upbeat to be a slow jam.

Warmth always gets the heat on .

paper said:

What? No way. I completely disagree. Maybe the best song on "Damita Jo" I think.

Which is, I guess, not saying much. Of course, "Damita Jo" is "Thriller" compared to "20 YO".

Warmth and Moist are the worst songs on Damita Jo. Janet is sexier when she doesn't try to be sexy.
