Wadda ya know! I used the Google's handy translate feature and that's exactly what it says. Albeit it, in slightly more jumbled fashion. | |

Funny, the black-on-white theme and font of her name on the website actually reminded me of Rhythm Nation for a second.  [Edited 12/11/07 7:49am] | |

I thought that, too, but something tells me we're not getting Rhythm Nation again. Just a hunch. | |

are yall sure this is right? I heard that Mariah is suppose to come out the 26th?  please tell me they are not that stupid to listen to Jd and his idoit Mariah vs Janet crap.
another thing isn't that a little too soon? I mean your going to need time for the single to grow, they should release atleast two singles before the album , and album sales in the winter are alful. I don't know I am just nervous, and I really want her to do well, one good thing it's beging released the day after my birthday

Yes. I heard that Mariah is suppose to come out the 26th?
No release date has been set for Mariah's new album. please tell me they are not that stupid to listen to Jd and his idoit Mariah vs Janet crap.
They aren't. another thing isn't that a little too soon? I mean your going to need time for the single to grow, they should release atleast two singles before the album , and album sales in the winter are alful. I don't know I am just nervous, and I really want her to do well,

Really, that isn't done much anymore. You have a hot hit, you strike while the iron is hot and you release your album. Even with The Emancipation of Mimi, It's Like That in February and the album in April. Nelly Furtado, Justin, Rihanna, Timbaland...all the same. They could easily be starting on the second single by the time the album is released. The first single will not debut (officially) on US radio until January, at any rate. I'm guessing that this will be a preview snippet and not the full song. [Edited 12/11/07 8:13am] | |

You got that too? I thought I was the only one? I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Thanks for the info VoicesCarry. Am I the only reading this info and not excited by any of this? Seeing that JJ and TL aren't going to be on this is a HUGE bummer for me. Her best stuff is with them. The only tolerable songs on the last 3 albums are the ones that JJ and TL did and I won't mention the 80's and 90's. I love me some Janet but she better pull out a HUGE rabbit from that hat cause it's not looking good IMHO. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince.

See, I feel the opposite. I think JJ & TL are *over* as producers (when was the last time they produced something truly interesting, or even exciting?), and if she wants to stay fresh and alive as an artist, it's clear she had to go back to the drawing board. I will always love her work with them, but I felt it was time for something new. This shows me that she is willing to stray from her formula. Her best stuff is with them, and it likely always will be, but they're no longer the best producers for her to work with. [Edited 12/11/07 8:32am] | |

But, i can understand some feeling disappointed she's not working with Jam and Lewis. But, Jam and Lewis are working on stuff with Usher as far as I know. Just have to wait and see how all of this will turn out. I guess we'll get a leak of the song right after it's played in Japan. | |

The only good move is straying away from JD, in fact his production on the new Mariah record might not even make it to the final cut. I mean Scott Storch? this guy is a done deal, his last great works of art were for Brooke Hogan and Paris Hilton, she will probably get a Ne-yo hit similar to a Beyonce cut, so i know this might be a commercial comeback for her, although you never know, but isnt she just gonna sound like everyone else out there? This sounds very much like the "mimi" type of line-up and marketing, but notice Universal getting it out before the end of February (close of the 4th quarter and fiscal year) dont think theres not a reason for that. All i can say is the first single better be chosen wisely and a strong follow up ready, the follow up is what saved "Mimi" from just disappearing. As for the Mariah record 22 tracks are done but its going to get cut down to just 10, going back to the old style of how albums used to be, so many of the producers that she worked with (which are indentical to JJ's list) are not even going on the record.

Those are *rumoured* producers. To his credit, Scott Storch did help produce Island Life, which is one of my favourite cuts off Damita Jo. But as you well know, a lot of the stuff Janet records doesn't make the final cut. She's worked with Pharrell in the past and none of it has ever been released. I'm sure LA and Janet will make judicious choices. I hope to hear her work with Ne-Yo, The Dream and Polow. [Edited 12/11/07 8:45am] | |

[Edited 12/11/07 8:48am] I see it as they want to be the first to hit out of the gate for 2008. I agree they have to be careful, but so far they seem to be making good choices, including timing the release of the album just a few weeks after the DVD release of her movie. | |

[Edited 12/11/07 8:45am] My only issue with the producers and sometimes using multiple ones, is that the albums dont synch well, its like you are getting hit by everyones sounds, which is why i thought "Mimi" though a good record was far from being solid work from Mariah, and this happens alot when you just get the flava of the month/year producers. Though LA is executive producing he should have been able to corral "mimi" into a solid album but he didnt, though a big seller, album wise it wasnt very memorable. So i hope he is more in "tune" with putting together a solid final product this time, and not just a "seller".

I thought Mimi was her best album since Butterfly, and one of her best overall, but I guess that's just me.  | |

i always wonder why people bring up mariah or madonna and say janet should follow their formula.... ITS not true....
[Edited 12/11/07 8:44am] I just ask for you guys to stop comparing or say that janet needs to follow the music strategies of madonna or mariah... its NOT CUTE>.. every time a jj thread gets started you will hear one of the two names mentioned..... [Edited 12/11/07 8:58am] |

I also like that there are no leaks...I mean, we don't even know the single or album title, let alone have a copy of the track online everywhere.
This really hasn't happened for her since before the days of the internet. Virgin was the leakiest boat... | |

[Edited 12/11/07 8:58am] Take a look at the post, im not saying she SHOULD follow what Mariah did, SHE IS following what Mariah did, same guy doing the executive producinng, very similar Production lineup for both women.

Why in the hell did they leave Mpls for LA two years ago when they were hottest 15 years ago?  I only wanna hear about Jam with Janet if he's sportin' the horse hair again.
