you sound as crazy as those who say Michael should go back to Qunicy. Their time together has passed. You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

Yeah i like that track and all the dancey stuff on the album but thats less than half. I really liked 'All For You' Its just so diffrent and genres change, i wasnet expeting that from her. It worked very well i think, in my top 10. Damita Jo was also great, yes the tracks did not sit well togather but the tracks were strong and it showed that she could do alot of diffrent things. You would not expect 'My Baby' and 'Just a Little While' to be on the same cd would you, yet they are both great tracks and you get the young kids listing to one track and the adults listing the the other, not many artists can do this. 20YO  | |

I don't think that's true. But, she's not going to be able to please everyone. I guess she's at a crossroads right now. She said herself that she's loyal. I don't think she's abandoned Jam and Lewis. She simply added to the pot is all. I definitely look forward to hearing her new material and I'm quite confident that she'll strive to have music much different from that which is on radio. I remember when WHEN DOVES CRY had come out. It was dark and quiet different from ANYTHING on radio. Gosh! Those where the days. Oh, well in any event I'm definitely looking forward to what she has to offer this time. | |

MartyMcFly said: SoulAlive said: here's the type of album she should make:
***6 uptempo tracks produced by Dangermouse (Gorillaz producer)---these songs are in the vein of "Feels Good Inc",arguably the best single of 2005.The songs are rock/pop/dance,very dark with interesing lyrics that are deeper than the the usual sex stuff that Janet has been doing for two long now.Remember the Gorillaz' single "Dare"? Imagine Janet working a hot groove like that. ***4 slow jams produced by Robin Thicke ***3 songs with a European dance music producer---forget the boring midtempo R&B crap...Janet's longtime fans want to DANCE! How about 3 fast,relentless dance tunes that kick ass?  Hey! Don't forget the 29 totally useless, silly and immensely irritating "interludes" 
Forget the interludes,just do a kickass 13-song album,using the producers I suggested.She could breathe life back into her career if she took my advice. | |

He's a talented dude Gorillaz' last album and the Gnarls Barkley album are both superb....a fresh,edgy sound that Janet should be exploring.Why work with the same tired producers that everyone else in R&B works with? Take a chance on someone who can give her some fresh beats! | |

I could have sworn it was my jimmy and terry, but I'll have to check the credits again
if anything, jimmy and terry saved 20 Y.O. without them there would have been no enjoy, take care and daybreak(despite sounding like escapade and runaway) although get it out me was a sick jam damita jo had strong tracks as well but some of them were too short or sounded too rushed and there were some songs that would have been better left off | |

I wouldn't mind an uptempo track like Gorillaz "Dare" or Kylie Minogue "Sweet Music". Hell, anything with that Kurtis Blow drum loop. 
Well, these, are, thebreaaaaaks  | |

It wasn't. They produced R&B Junkie, however. She needs to work with those Swedish dudes again. if anything, jimmy and terry saved 20 Y.O. without them there would have been no enjoy, take care and daybreak(despite sounding like escapade and runaway) although get it out me was a sick jam
They saved it because JD, one of the the shittiest mainstream producers in history, dominated the record. Get It Out Me was hot but too short. And JD was fucking lazy, having already used that sample for LL Cool J's Control Myself in the same year. damita jo had strong tracks as well but some of them were too short or sounded too rushed and there were some songs that would have been better left off
Damita Jo could have been a great 12-track album. [Edited 7/12/07 9:58am] | |

His only songs I could tolerate were so excited(which took awhile to grow on me), get it out me and do it to me, the rest of his stuff was so boring and uninspired and sounded incomplete. With You was an attempt to sound like mariah but it was so annoying and redundant though it could have sounded so much better had more time and effort been put into it slolove, truly, warmth were total fillers. I wish I'm Here, the original just a little while(love me for a little while), pops up and could this be love were much stronger tracks | |

Didn't Jermaine Dupri say Damita Jo was a rubbish album,
Iam sure I read that somewhere  and look at what he produced. | |

I actually think it's too early to tell if Janet isn't working with Jimmy and Terry . if LA doesn't like the new stuff he's probably gonna tell her to work with them . it would be nice if she work with someone else. | |

Yeah i agree too 'All Nite' wooo that was a tune.
However 'Just a little While' was good it got me into Prince. Dallas Austin and the other producers who worked on it must be pissed off with JD saying crap like that. Does JD dislike 20YO that was a flop and not a good first single, its her worst. Télépopmusik remeber they did the intro to Damita Jo 'Looking For Love' that was good, only if they worked on the rest of the album more. | |

She does have something to lose because she is in negotiations with Def Jam and they aren't going to invest millions and get another flop cd. She has had 2 major flops in a row. I look for Def Jam to do promotion for Janet similar to the way they did with Mariah's "Mimi" cd. They are going to have a sexy video and a solid album. I don't think LA Reid would have let 20yo come out as it was. He would have had Jermaine, Jimmy and Terry rework almost every track. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Iam sure I read that somewhere and look at what he produced.not only that, he succeeded in alientating janet from her non-urban fans by saying repeatedly that she's going back to her r&b roots and made a huge deal in marketing the album to r&b/urban formats rather than mainstream when janet was always a mainstream artist all nite would have been a better first choice as a damita jo single, but just a little while was also great and totally reminded me of prince as well | |
