At least u did like the singles

Free Xone, Velvet Rope, You, What About and Special were very powerful and thought provoking.

It forced the listener to answer questions witrhin themselves. Im glad and proud of Janet for making this album. It helped me love myself and be proud of who I am and not hide in the darkness or be ashamed of being gay.

That was my interlude

sorry for jacking the thread.

Well here is the full video...

It's alright.The video drags on for too long in the beginning. For a dance record, I expected to see ALOT more dancing than what we got. And the choreography that IS shown in the video is on some Ciara-level type stuff which is a downgrade for a dance icon like Janet and a few of the moves I feel like I've seen before in other routines. The best part is the finale where Janet is in red playing with the balls.

Closet fan!

Lol, all these snips, looks like I missed some good stuff. As for my tirade, it was just seeing that clip totalalisa posted (or a small bit of it anyway) that reminded me of a pet peeve of mine, the obliteration of real talent from the mainstream pop field. Sorry, but that's how I see it. In other news, "Feedback" is a good track for what it is.

What a mess !!!!!

I don't know what to say...

So far her worst video ever, using crap special effects make that video looks cheap

terrible ...

Scorpion said:

Well, maybe some will appreciate her more if she would jerk around like Beyonce.
Hey, it's cool everybody ain't feelin' it. I sure as hell am!
Loved every single minute of the video.
Too bad she get's insulted as much as she does and is religated to being compared to the very ones that have made their careers off of copying her.
Oh, how insulting.
Do ya' thing, Jan!

Your response is predictable much!
But, I know you couldn't help but download the video of the very artist you don't like! Why even bother to waste your time doing such.
Just couldn't help yourself, huh?
Next track!
I know you can tell me who coined that phrase!

DawnD said:

I would appreciate it if Janet got rid of her wack ass choreographers and get back to some good Grade A choreography, actually. She's not known to have any vocal talent, so the 8-count routines are her forté. She should've brought it here, esp. for her "comeback" single...she has alot to prove to ppl that she think she is nothing more than an aging plastic 40 yr. old popstar. Don't get mad at us because it's a fact that Janet's best days are behind her.

Weird...but I likes...very forward thinking...

shorttrini said:

I don't get why soo many people want to compare this song to a Britney song? Didn't Justin Timberlake do this before Britney with "SexyBack"? Sorry, but I refuse to give Britney Spears credit for coming up with a 'new sound', which isn't even new. They were doing this 'sound' back in the early 90s. The only reason they, meaning the people who actually make Britney matter, probably did all that voice altering is because after her pack a day habit her already mediocre voice sounds like crap in a plastic baggie...that "Baby Boy" song that didn't make it onto her album proves my point. People need to stop being cruel to Janet by comparing her to that girl.

Scorpion said:

Is that why you're no longer a fan. I remember when you use to defend her.
Got tired, huh?

It's fun for a campy intentionally strange video. I love the end part the best.

As for everyone saying "A Britney reject", the track not only is a hellvu a lot more catchy than Britney's two short verse wonders of late, but is kind of funny (fly like a pelican, heavy like a first day period...my Asian persuasion). Britney, nor her writers, have that much wit. THe best they can do is "Ms. OMG that Britney's shameless". What a snooze fest!

I know. I agree. But, that seems to be the new thing all over again. Bash Janet. Then, when some point out what's going on 'Oh, Janet fans are mad.
I ain't mad at all. I'm too happy Miss Jackson is doing what she loves' whether some like it or don't. That's not going to stop her from doing what she wants or what she feels.
Hey, there are countless artists to choose from. There are countless artists to listen to. But, for those who Janet constantly disappoint THEY can't seem to help themselves but to pay attention to her. It's laughable, especially since they aren't fans, no longer fans or perhaps have never been fan.
Getting kinda' old with the insults.
Since some are so very critical and love "talent" which they say she lacks.
Some should come up with more creative ways of insulting her. Being that they are all about talent "which Janet supposedly lack." But, they cannot help but to listen to her songs and download her shit. ANYWAY....

DawnD said:

I agree with that... cause im guilty of bashing her... but it was during the superbowl year... and it was on her forums... but now its just getting old complaining about janet...

as long as she does what i like... then im happy Im glad she isn't showing her boobs in the video and this video is very unique and creative...

DawnD said:

I've never been a Britney fan, but have no problem admitting that I like some of her songs (good job to her well-paid producers who deserve all the credit), but for people to insult Janet by saying she's copying Britney Spears pisses me off. If people who don't like Janet want to have a negative opinion of her, than I have no problem with that personally because it's just their opinions and opinions aren't law, but don't compare her to that talentless puppet. When people were saying Britney was the next Madonna, that used to piss me off too and I haven't liked Madonna since the early 90s. Britney was always just an image used to sell well-made pop songs and an artist who was lucky enough to be MTV's golden girl back in the late 90s. They used to promote the hell out of her and played her videos non-stop, so of course she became a star. If you hand out enough free samples of a product, millions of people are bond to be suckered into liking it. For people to even imply that Britney is more talented than Janet is fucking hilarious. Just my

estelle81 said:

nope, britney was doing it before "Sexyback" or rather her producers were. No one said ANY of this is good.

I liked it....it was cute. The only reason it wasnt the BEST or anything was because the dance moves were kinda done already.

Otherwise I would love 2 c it everywhere

The haters can tell it to the Pastor....fuck them bitches...go suck a dick

That's how i feel... not the best video i've seen from her, but i love this track and momma was looking good in that red catsuit....these motherfucker's not gonna steal my joy
