I have the album, and it's quirky, pop fun! Easily the top-tier of her catalog.
You'll either hate or love her interpretation of Private Joy. She doesn't invoke the same spirit as P did with the song, but for me, La Toya adds her own playfully coy spin that makes it enjoyable. Other highlights would have to be the slight Minneapolis sounding "Hot Potato", complete with spoken word dialogue regarding a cheating lover, door knocks and a catchy chorus. "Frustration" shows La Toya toying around with a soft-rock sound with surprisingly listenable results courtesy of some co-production help from her brother Tito. "Betcha Gonna Need My Lovin'" showcases Toy throwin' down a bit of funk towards an estranged suitor. The other tracks aren't too bad themselves either. Definitely an overlooked piece of 80's pop at its best. [Edited 11/30/07 15:14pm]

I can't stand it. I prefer night time lover and shake your groove thing from her first album. Her new stuff like no more drama, armed and famous and i just wanna dance are catchy too. | |

I´ve heard it just once in some MJ documentary on MTV. Unfortunately for La Toya, they played Another part of me right after it and it was an unbelievable difference. Next to Mike, she looked and sounded like an idiot. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I know right? No wonder she flopped in the 80's, mj and janet made her sound like shit without even trying *thinking back to 1996 madtv skit* latoya: do you know what it's like being the only jackson who can't do anything? michael: *giggles* NO! | |

Good, one. I have never seen any of these skits. I just saw some of them on Jetzi´s site and I was screaming laughing watching them, especially those about Mike and Lisa Marie."When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent.

I've always liked this song. Sure, it's cheesy but in a good way lol. It's fun and catchy and the video is cute too. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

I found it recently at a used record store in their classic dance/disco department. It was maybe $2? I think I've seen it for a lot online. I liked it. Her verison of "Private Joy" is very Latoya. It's cute. | |

don't try to hide it
with words that just aren't true It's showing in your eyes and I feel it,and so do you why do I remember those lyrics? 
I think LaToya only had one decent song: "Nighttime Lover" (1980) and it's only good because her brother Michael wrote and produced it,lol. | |
