Why is Janet's "China Love" so forgotten?

This is one of my favorite songs from All For You. The production is excelent.

It's probably one of my favorite songs of AFY! Love that whole Japan-influenced production on that one.

I agree. "All for You" had some great ballads (I definitely love "Love Scene" smile)

I love that pic, and I love the song. It was a totally beautiful summer ballad, and it reminds me of mj's human nature a little bit.

AFY is the only Janet album ( apart from Dream Street) that i have little love for.

Only songs worth talking about are:

1. All for you
2. When we oooo
3. feels so right

the rest are all blah! "China Love" is aight, nothing special

I used to call it blah cause I felt like she was playing it safe musically instead of trying new things, but now I look back on it as a fun and carefree era for her.

hey i love dream street.... and AFY was a very nice janet era... i really enjoyed it.. because it was the last era that janet was original... and very fresh... DJ was a bad copycat of AFY and 20 Y.O was cute... actually she could have done 20 Y.O with better justice if she brought better videos.. her video so excited was a copy cat of All Night Don't Stop and Son of a Gun... and Call on me was cute... but just not cool....

janet should have did like a short film... soemthing NEW...

I was not laughing at you but at paisleypark4's comment about Janet leading a revolution. biggrin

I also think it would be cool if she did a short film for her upcoming album.

short films would showcase her acting, considering that she constantly talks about it being her first love.

I always thought she was whispering china-chicka china-chicka

sometimes... janet's nose looks really ugly... Im not sure if she recently had a face life or botox.. but in her lastest pics... she looks amazing... I remember like last year she looked a little tired... but now she looks refresh... I seriously think she had some maintance work done....

and at her peak of beauty I thought she was the more gorgeous then any other female singer/entertainer... Janet didn't have to try to hard either....

i don't know why.. but i seriously thought she was going to age a little bit better...

oh well.. she still looks hotter then the average 40 year old woman...

she's definitely toyed with her nose in the late 90's but looked beautiful as always. I don't know what exactly she did, but something about her face was different after the all for you era, and it was anything but natural. I think she tried collagen right before damita jo, and somewhere between dj and 20 yo, she toyed with her nose, cause her nostrils looked odd
