EXACTLY!! EXACTLY!!!
Allot of folks that are hatin' on the song are really diggin' it and don't want to admit it, cause they were ready to slam her no matter what!
And, folks on the org and elsewhere can talk and talk about Janet going down the tubes since THE VELVET ROPE all they want. Jeez! The woman wrote about her pain and longing for love back then. She's happy now!
Some behave as if they want her to slip into another depression just to create art for them to enjoy.
Janet has said that she pleases herself FIRST where music is concerned.
So, again folks on the org and elsewhere can talk and moan about how much more they where expected of Janet and how disappointed they are about her new single feedback. Well, she's a grown ass woman that's going to write and make the kind of music SHE chooses whether some like it or not. Hasn't her course(s) of action(s) proven this?
But, ya'll keep bitching and moaning while I enjoy that new cut!
Believe me, your complaints ain't gone change a damn thing!
But, again feel everso free to continue bitching and moaning!

Damn...y'all blew this thread UP!

JackieBlue said:

Why don't you ask her?!
Dang! The way allot of you talk, you'd think this was a life or death thing!
PRINCE is the main influence or one of the main influences concerning allot of us, so why is Janet being so overly critiqued?
If she's such a disappointment, why listen to her at all?
Is it because, some just have the "I can't help it(s)?!"
There are countless upon countless artists that are at the disposal of the music buying public.
But, I get it! Allot don't like her shit, but they just HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT.
Allot don't like her, but they just have to pay her some or perhaps even allot of attention.
Allot don't like her new song, but they just have to have it on repeat!
Ahh, the irony.
Maybe some should just chill and go take a listen at your favorite artist before your bloodpressure goes up and you burst a blood vessel.
Too much stress and disappointment concerning music is not good. It's not good, ladies and gentlemen.

Am I the only one hearing a little Joe Budden in this?

Pretty damn good. Bodes well for the new album.

I like the new song. Better than her last two lead singles.

DawnD said:

Hmm, maybe I will. Why do you care anyway? Are you a long lost Jackson? I already told you I have love for Janet but that doesn't mean I just accept everything she does without question or opinion. It's a discussion board and we're having discussions but it's pointless to jump on or challenge every single comment you don't like or disagree with.

Feedback is #85 at pop radio after 36 hours of play.

I think it's going to continue to do well. Especially when the video drops which I want like yesterday. I haven't seen a really good dance video in awhile and I'm hoping this will be it.

JackieBlue said:

Video release coincides with adds date at all formats (first week of January).

VoicesCarry said:

yep...blowing up all over after just a couple days

VoicesCarry said:

Awesome!

newpower99 said:

There are also basically no overnight spins, which is great (that's when no one is listening, and when Call On Me used to log a lot of its spins before it flopped at pop, peaking around #35 or #36 I think).

VoicesCarry said:

yeah and look at the markets... we arent talking Topeka , Kansas here.


if they get this one to itunes soon were looking at a potential #1. funny how careers can turn on a dime

newpower99 said:

They are probably going to wait until after the song officially goes for adds and the video is released for iTunes (and of course, release the video to iTunes at the same time).

But IDJ is excellent for timing things like that.

VoicesCarry said:

Already? Wow, that's incredible. She needs to hurry up and get that video ready so she can ride the strength of the radio airplay. Fantastic news!

purplecam said:

They aren't going to start going full force until January because late December screws up radio playlists, first with Christmas music, and after that with best-/end-of-2007 countdowns. That's why it's not going for adds until January 7/8, when radio just begins to return to normal.

Whatever airplay they get now is just gravy and gives the song traction for the new year, establishing it in programmers' minds as the First New Release of '08.

VoicesCarry said:

exactly . I wonder if they anticipated such a good response so soon

FM QuarterBack

JANET JACKSON
“Feedback”
(Island Def Jam)

Don’t be surprised if 2008 is the year Janet Jackson re-ignites the music world. This multi-format mega-superstar has inspired many of today’s hottest performers and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if Miss Janet scores big with the first single from her forthcoming album, Discipline. Producer Rodney Jerkins seems to have found a whole new groove for Jackson one that fits like a glove! It’s a fresh new sound…but it’s the same Janet (“Miss Jackson…if you’re nasty!”). The early “feedback” indicates another multi-format hit in the making for Miss Janet. BET ON IT!

JackieBlue said:

That's funny! I'm a long lost Jackson! Quite interesting, I must say.
I don't like EVERYTHING things she does! I freakin' hated SOMEONE TO CALL MY LOVER and quite a few others.
And, as far as asking me why do I care, why do YOU care if you're unable to be satisfied?
And, as far as my comments it isn't pointless when you respond to the comments I respond to. Hell, I'm discussing my opinion the same as you. I'm beyond aware what this is.
Fact is, fans are not going to agree on EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING that she does. But, as you have a right to speak your mind and disagree on things. I have the same right to speak my mind and agree on things.
And, yes I will continue to challenge comments that I disagree with because I have the right and I can.
The same as you forming your opinions, I have mine along with other org members.
What page are we on concerning OUR opinions of Janet's song again? Ahh, yes! Page 16! Shall WE continue with OUR opinions?!?!?
What ap

newpower99 said:

Aww, that's good to know! I believe her video will be pretty good.

VoicesCarry said:

That makes a lot of sense right there. The Christmas music is in full effect here in NYC. I rarely listen to the radio now but I will make it a point to see if I can hear it and I'll report back here.

I don't remember if I said it on this thread but I really like the name of this CD. It's her best title since The Velvet Rope, the last Janet CD I really enjoyed. I hope the album is as good if not better than the title.

purplecam said:

It's being played on Z100 / 100.3 FM (where it premiered).

DawnD said:

Where did I say I'm unable to be satisfied? I don't mind discussions but it seems some fans get an attitude because other fans express certain dislikes. Or we get painted with the brush of a hater which you didn't specifically do here, but has been done along with the classic 'why do you come here' if you don't like something. Obviously you have the right to challenge or discuss whatever you want. My point is there's always going to be something to challenge and I suspect it would be a bit exhausting after awhile but of course, if that's what you want to do, fine.

In light of that, I think me questioning what happened with she and Basement Jaxx to a specific orger is infinitesimal as a whole but I thought your remark of "why don't I ask her" was pretty snippy especially from someone I've had no real exchange with. The end.

VoicesCarry said:

I have it on Z100 now to see if I can hear it. I feel like I'm in need of a shower listening to this God-awful station. I wish it was 1991 again but I digress.

No fighting...

Cinnie said:

I think so. I do like some trax on it (Get It Out Me, Call On Me, and This Body), but the album is weak (as a whole).

JackieBlue said:

I didn't say you said you were not satisfied, "...if you're unable to be satisfied."
I don't have an attitude (if it's me you're referring to). I'm happy!
But, as far as why I come to the org? Well, I find that kinda' strange to be asked that question when I'm a Prince fan. And, I have every right to come to whatever web I choose the same as anyone else including yourself.
But, wait aminute! Isn't this what the org is about?
Musical tastes! Since, I've been a member folks left and right have challenged each other's opinions based on music and recording artists. But, if I'm to be singles out, then hey, good! I feel awfully special and thankful due to my opinions being read and reviewed.
Now, if there's something I disagree with like allot of org members I'm going to voice/say/write what I disagree with. That's my right the same as OTHER org members. I'm not going to stop doing that!
No doubt, Janet is overly critiqued and it is constantly said she should have done this or she should have done that. When in actuality it really doesn't matter what WE think (though we will continue to comment) on what she should've AND could've done cause she's gonna' what she wants ANYWAY!
And, VoicesCarry I'm not fighting. I'm discussing.
Everything is in place and going to stay that way.

And, on a musical note I'm glad that her new single is doing well already.
But, this is just one song. I mean, she did say that she had some stuff on this album with a message. Allot are judging an entire album on one song. Not saying ANY are doing that here. This song seems to be the talk of the web for the past couple days.

You know guys, I just realized that LA Reid is promoting Janet like he did Usher's last project. Remember that "Yeah" dropped right before Christmas and was ALL OVER RADIO and the album wasn't dropped until March. Let's hope that JJ's new project will take off like Confessions did.
