Ok, am I the only person that really LOVED "So Excited" by Janet.




probably huh?

This song gets me hyped!!

This song (along with All Nite) gets a wonderful reaction in clubs.

One of the clubs I go to predictably plays this to get people amped up - and Gwen Stefani's Wind It Up to clear the floor at 2:30 AM.

I hate that wind it up song...

It didn't do it for me But then again, I like Van Hunt

My favorite line is by Jermain Dupri "What ya takin' bout shortee" Jermain should never holla shortee at any woman

The video is pretty hype.

I didn't like it at all really. And the video was even worse. And how come so many people call it "S.E.X."?

he says that in every song he produces, doesn't he?

Raze said:

It's a fan acronym (yes, it should be S.Ex.)

I didn't mind it. I'm not sure that "Call On Me" and that were the best way to lead off the album though.

VoicesCarry said:

Yeah, I know, it just seems kind of silly. And unfortunately draws even more attention to one of the major problems of her late career

It's a badass jam. The one thing that's ironic with Janet and her uptempo stuff(hell, even her remixed slow stuff) is that radio ignores them these days, yet they're always really successful in the clubs. That's what happened with "So Excited", as was the case in 2004 with "All Nite". Neither made a dent with mainstream audiences, yet were successful as club songs and can probably be favorites for your typical night vultures.

I guess that's the thing with Madonna, Janet and even Britney Spears..if the Hot 100 ignores them(though Madge has had better luck than either Janet or Brit these days), club culture will always embrace them.

this is probably my favourite track off the album. and definitely one of her nest songs from her last three albums. i love it.

imo of course. The production, the lyrics and let's not forget the memorable rap from Khia

Janet needs to bring a beat back into her "dance" oriented tracks.

lilgish said:

Another problem with the song. I got my hopes up too high when they said Janet was going to release a great dance track after Call on Me. But the homophobe that Jemaine Dupri is, he would be too scared of Janet appealing to a gay audience.

jayaredee said:

but this is sorta dance oriented.

its on my myspace page.... remix version.

then again, I don't think too deeply about music. If I like it, i like it even if its sucky.

i'm in two minds about this one.

it's not bad but its not that great either.

i like the beat (the record scratching is pretty cool) and the "act bad, talk dirty..." bit

But some of the lyrics are a bit to explicit, the video is terrible too...

But JD's gay!!!!

MikeMatronik said:

So is P.Diddy and 50 Cent. Which is why they're homophobes.

jayaredee said:

I'd love to put some bullets on 50's ass

MikeMatronik said:

Yeah I'm sure he got some up there while showering in jail. He does have a great ass though. I'd rather stare at that as opposed to his face.

jayaredee said:

His ass must be tight because of all that gym work he does. Muscular asses are the best to pound

P Diddy is anything but a homophobe, he spoke out against homophobia in some charity event or something.

I've never seen JD say anything against gay people..

You can't just pigeon hole hip hop artists...

I didn't think it was bad, didn't it was great (like "All Nite"). I liked it, That's the way I felt about "20 YO" in general...it's just kind of there. With DJ, there are highlights and weak ass tracks. I think the great (if you consider the Japanese edition) outweighs the bad.

S.E.X should've been a hit and with just a little love from MTV, it wouldn't have hurt.

Damn you, Rhonda this song came on my ITunes today while I was @ home & I thought, "Okay, that's alright "

Then tonight I'm @ the gym & the shit pops on my IPod, I was like I repeated that shit 3 times

Maybe your thread was in my head or something, but that shit was sounding GOOD tonight I need a playlist of just Janet songs for my workout, she has some good ones

Now go listen to Van, dammit!

GREAT TUNE!

Bad single choice, though. It should have been a preview track for the album release, a la TLC's "Silly Ho" to get fans amped up, and then she should have come out with "Enjoy" as the official first single, then "Call on Me," then "With U," the "Get it Out Me."

badujunkie said:

S.E.X was a great track to release maybe not as the first single maybe as the third or somethin and the video was too similar to All nite (Don't Stop). Show me or Do it 2 me should have came out first Enjoy second and Call on me should have never been made.
