Brittney Spears never sounded like Janet!

I think Janet had much more funky, R&B oriented songs with beats and soul.

Now, the videos maybe had stuff like Janet.

Some of y'all act like Janet is Joni Mitchell or something...lol

Homegirl is a dance/pop act, and that song and clip is the strongest shit I've seen from her in a minute...I can't hate...

Exactly, and this is actually the second time Janet's imitated Britney's sound. She did it before with All For You which imitated the whole teen pop thing that was flavour of the month back then.

MTV isn't what it once was, but it still matters, and is a huge reason why she flopped so hard post Superbowl.

She's an MTV artist. When she's not flooding that network and/or any of the Viacom babies, she doesn't exist because her music can't stand on it's own.

She or her handlers refuse to step way outside of what she does in order to hook an audience that doesn't care, like Vadge, I mean Madge. I guess they don't realize that mainstream and most of black America dumped her.

Yeah, most of her fans used to be guilty of that, but the majority of them have seen the light now. She's a product just like Rihanna and Britney. As long as people are no longer making her out to be anything more than that then I don't have a problem. "Feedback" is not my cup of tea, but it's easily her best track in years.

ufoclub said:

It's Britney, bitch

On Britney and In The Zone, I think the Janet influence is very apparent. Britney sounded a lot like All For You, in particular. But it's not surprising considering some of Janet's leftovers wound up being used on that album (Boys was even recorded by Janet for All For You, but never used).

As for videos, choreography and concerts, I won't even bother - it's too obvious

Please Britney copied hadgonna! Trash always copies trash!

No, no,no

It's Shitney, and whoredonna or Vadge.

midnightmover said:

Janet doesn't have to imitate britney. It was the other way around. Britney
will be finished soon. She is destroying her own 15 minutes of fame with drugs.
She's probably in rehab or smoking a glass dick as we speak.

midnightmover said:

that is my ultimate favorite genre of music... and they don't have that anymore

TotalAlisa said:

Try some '80s pop. The Bangles and Cyndi Lauper will fill in the gap for you (no pun intended).

ufoclub said:

Janet is funkier overall but if you listen to Britney's 2001 self titled album, it heavily borrows from Janet's very pop "All For You". "Anticpating" sounds just like AFY, the track!

Myspace Bulletin from Janet:

I thought i was the only one that was happening to.

I really miss the Janet of old. The one that sang, "That's the way love goes". That CD had some major grooves on it that really said something. Then all of the sudden, she felt that she had to change her sound, to this industrial, whispering stuff that looked good as a video, but as a stand alone song, was in my opinion not worth buying. I remember when Beyonce's CD came out, I said that Janet had better step her game up. When "J"'s finally did come out I was like, is this the best that Janet could come up with? Now, I am not saying that Beyonce is a better than Janet, not by any means. What I am saying is this, months after "Deja vu" I still listen to it.....I cannot for the life of me remember what the first single was from Janet's CD. It seems to me that Janet is relying on her fan base and reputation as a Jackson, to get her over. The fact that some of us here are hating those who are not looking forward to this track proves it. Because Janet is who she is, makes it easier for her to release sub-par material. She knows that her fans will buy it, regardless. But, what about those of us who were there when "Control" was released? I know that artist have to change and grow, but if you don't have a direction to follow then, how much do you really grow and what do you change into?

Me to in a way... I miss the old JJ.. before she was crazy over sex.... and showing her breasts... I was upset with her during the Damita Jo album... and i took out my frustrations by bashing her on Janet boards... Lololol... im just tired of complaining about janet... so oh well

Watch this amazing performance... its great but it will just make you miss her even more....

Dance said:

TotalAlisa said:

Fake as hell. It takes no talent to do that, just a budget to pay the dancers with. When exactly did these lip synched Jane Fonda performances become acceptable? You just reminded me why I can't stand her. The black Britney. Don't matter who came first, they both the same.

midnightmover said:

hey person ... i like to see you learn these dance moves and perform better there here... and YES this performance was YEars before britney even hit the scene...actually britney is the white janet jackson.... I likED britney because she reminds me of janet.. and was so cute.. plus she used to create fun pop music....

people would compare brit to madonna and im thinking madonna doesnt even dance like that.... britney dances more and performs more like janet.. IMO...

If you can't stand her, then why bother discussing her in the first place? You make multiple posts on every Janet thread that say the same thing. We get it. I don't see the point in devoting so much energy to something you dislike.

shorttrini said:

Janet never been one stuck in the past though like she said in Enjoy.


Think about it...all her albums represent the era it was in @ the time

midnightmover,

dude, you have been all over this forum spewing your junk...calm down man. please!

TotalAlisa said:

i realize you were like 10 when that came out but you do know that album is overtly homoerotic, homofriendly and talks about the BDSM lifestyle right?

ehuffnsd said:

i was talking about her performances and videos NOT her album... but NOW that i know that.... I don't like her album that much anymore....

and i only liked I get so lonely, Go deep, got til its gone, you, everytime and together again... I didn't care too much about the other songs... they were a lil too weird for me... but i didn't get that album until i was in highschool.... cause my mom didn't buy music and things like that for me when i was a little kid....

TotalAlisa said:

you like the song she wrote for her friends, mostly gay, who died of AIDS.

and for the recond Janet has been crazy about sex since the video for Love Will Never Do which was in 91, when you 5. All your remembered life Janet has been playing the sex card. You are aware of that right?

Does it bother you that your icon is involved in the BDSM lifestyle and has many gay friends and might be open to bisexuality herself?

ehuffnsd said:

WHAT does BDSM stand for i don't know about that (YOu know what don't even tell me cause i don't want to know... i rather be ignorant to that kind of stuff.. that i won't ever be involved in...)

I have heard RUMORS THAT she might be... but rumors.. and if they are proven true then i will make a finale decision about her... she has boyfriend and has been married two times...

and together again does NOT mention anything about being gay... so WHAT is your point?????

I didn't know about most janet's stuff until i got into highschool... i knew of her.. because she's MJ's sister... and i knew about scream... but I do NOT like some of her songs.... because of their sexual nature... or just weird... and will never approve of all the stuff she does.... so what is your point?????

If you still have a problem with me cause i do NOT accept your lifestyle then JUST GET OVER IT... stop being a baby and leave me alone..... I don't have to answer to you and you don't have to answer to me....
