bboy87 said: VoicesCarry said: From the February Parade interview (Janet is on the cover):
JANET JACKSON has attacked her father JOE for cheating on her mother and having affairs when she was young. The Nasty singer admits she still has no idea how her mother Katherine put up with her husband's infidelities - and she'll never forgive her dad for having an illegitimate child with a Jackson 5 fan. In a fierce new Parade magazine interview, the normally coy pop superstar rages about her love rat father and pays tribute to her mother's strength. She says, "It's a very cold world, and to have gone through what she has had to experience, from having polio as a child to those things with my brother Michael, and then for my father to have had another child. "I've been cheated on a lot. I know what that feels like and how that hurts the heart. But, I mean, to give us a half-sister, I can't even fathom what that's like for mother. "For her to stay with my father all these years and never abandon her kids, that's true love." Damn, none of the Jacksons have talked about their half sister(with the exclusion of Michael who counts her when he talks about the number of kids his father had) LaToya has talked about her and her desire to meet her | |

I'm normally not in favor of doing "sticky part 2's", but at 600 posts, there's too much to wade through here.
can we get a new one? or does nobody else think it necessary? "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

VoicesCarry said: 2Jay said: From what i've heard so far, including Feedback on TV and Rock With U in here. Most of it was disco/dance crap. I did somewhat tolerate Discipline the song  Janet is a dance music artist. Of course she is going to make dance "crap". If you don't like dance music, why are you even bothering with this thread?  VoicesCarry hasn't that been how it always is in a Janet thread. Allot don't like her or feel her music, but can't help but listen to it and respond.
Apparently, she's addictive to even the ones who aren't even fans! Go head, Janet! | |

Greatest X
My momma told me that this could happen to me / That he would grow to be this sexy man / But I just couldn’t see / Cause I had my blinders on / I was in my zone / And I had the thought of us in my head / Somehow I turned us all off / And then I met him, and he wasn’t you / Then I dropped my head thinking what should I do / Oh I I loved you, and / You loved me / And I just couldn’t see tomorrow, baby / And I care for you / And I didn’t see us through / Now I know in my heart you will always be / The greatest ex ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Now I can’t do a simple thing like fall asleep / Cause I can’t close my eyes / Without a date with you in my dreams, dreams / Sometimes I call your phone just to hear your tone / And I never say nothing / Wait just a couple of seconds to hear you breathe / And then I’m gone / But he’s not like you / Can’t help but to hold my head / Thinking what did I do / Oh I loved you, and / You loved me / And I just couldn’t see tomorrow, baby / And I care for you / And I didn’t see us through / Now I know in my heart you will always be / The greatest ex ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever And I know that it’s all my fault (all my fault) / And I would lie if I said you didn’t cross my mind at all (at all) / How do I erase from my taste that’s shaded and blue / All my loves with you 2nite Something in the air has got me feeling like I want it tonight Close the door and dim the lights / Make me feel what I wanna feel tonight / I like control so let me ride / If you’re strong hold on and forget the time Ain’t you curious don’t you wanna know (don’t you wanna know, wanna know) / Just how far you think my love can go Something in the air tonight / I don’t want to be alone / I need you to keep me warm / Baby reach out touch me / Something in the air has got me feeling like I’m ready tonight / Boy the feeling’s so severe / I want you to take me there / Baby reach out and touch me / Something in the air has got me feeling like I want it tonight My body’s here, I’m soaking wet / I wanna give you something that you won’t forget / Your appetite is all for me / Maybe you can have it all, we’ll just wait and see Ain’t you curious don’t you wanna know (don’t you wanna know, wanna know) / Just how far you think my love can go Boy you’re what I want give it all you got please don’t ever stop / Doin that thing to me, keep doin that thing to me / This is what you like don’t resist the fight do it all night / This is what I want / We both know that the time is so right / Boy I need you so much please don’t leave me alone tonight / (Come on) Discipline I misbehaved, done some things I know I shouldn’t do / I touched myself, even though you told me not to / You commanded me to wait for you (I tried) / But I can smell you on my sheets / Taste you on my skin so vividly / Daddy I disobeyed you / Now I want you to come punish me Babe, I need some discipline tonight / Don’t hold back / I’ve been very bad / Make me cry (oh) / Got to make me cry (oh) / Babe Oh misbehaved / And my punishment should fit my crime / Tie me to something / Take off all my clothes / Daddy I want you to take your time (I’m scared) / My heart is betting fast / Shiver as you grab my neck / Baby, blindfold me daddy / Is it better when I don’t know what to expect Babe, I need some discipline tonight / Don’t hold back / I’ve been very bad / Make me cry (oh) / Got to make me cry (oh) / Babe Did I upset you daddy / Take out your frustations on me / Did I make you mad / Take out your frustations on me / You be the teacher, I’ll be the student / Tell me to do it, and I will do it / I’m under your command / You be the teacher, I’ll be the student / Tell me to do it, and I will do it Babe, I need some discipline tonight / Don’t hold back / I’ve been very bad / Make me cry (oh) / Got to make me cry (oh) / Babe Rollercoaster Oooh you bring me up and down through emotions / Like a rollercoaster / Spinning like a ferris wheel / Oooh you take me upside down with my feelings / And I know the reason / Baby your love is surreal / You make me go you make me go you make me go / Make / Me go / You make me go you make me go / Like a rollercoaster There’s a high level of love going on / The feelings are just way too strong / The reason that you got me gone / Is babe cause you turn me on / With a bit of it more than a little bit / I’m addicted every time I get a hit of it / Cause oh baby you take me so high / When I’m on your rollercoaster ride I’m in and out of love / And it’s all because / I can’t make up my mind / I’m so confused / Don’t know what to do / And it’s cause of you Oooh you bring me up and down through emotions / Like a rollercoaster / Spinning like a ferris wheel / Oooh you take me upside down with my feelings / And I know the reason / Baby your love is surreal / You make me go you make me go you make me go / Make / Me go / You make me go you make me go / Like a rollercoaster Boy you give me butterflies / So deep inside / Breaks me down when I look in those eyes / Takes me out way across the sky / Baby boy I won’t lie / Usually I’m not this shy / You do it to me every time / I get on your

first thing I see / Your lively smile smiling at me / Kiss my forehead up out of bed / Off to start your day here in bed I stay / Thinking bout last night playing in my mind / When you touch me there

going on what’s happening to me / Promised myself I would never let this be / Never again, never that way / Cut me so deep that I haven’t been the same / What I feel right now, I felt before / When I hear your name / And my feelings are floored / I’m fighting it but I can’t / But I don’t know if I should / The one thing I know / This can’t be good babe This can’t be good / (This can’t be good) / This can’t be good / (This can’t be good) / This can’t be oh Oh I think I’m falling in love again (oh no) / Told myself I never would / I think I’m falling in love again / This cannot be good This

Rolling Stone
Janet Jackson Discipline 3.5 out of of 5 Stars Janet Jackson has abandoned the plastic R&B of 2006's 20 Y.O. for a sexier brand of digitized megapop. On her Def Jam debut, the beats are as crass and processed as Jackson's heavy breathing, so she sounds more like a sex droid than a blow-up doll, which is way hotter — for starters, sex droids show more initiative. When Janet brags she's "heavy like a first-day period" on "Feedback" or sings in a scrunched-up robot voice that she's "So Much Betta" than your girl, all the amateur competition should just pack up their Webcams and go home. Discipline's mechanized thump flatters producer Rodney Jerkins, who slams down the high-voltage money shot "Feedback" and the Jam-Lewis homage "Rollercoaster." The slower, slinkier stuff is left to Ne-Yo, who's so excited to be working with a real, live Jackson that he even calls one song "Rock With You." Essential to the album's fantasy world is its lack of references to the real-life woman behind the mike. (No one really wants to think that it's Jermaine Dupri she's inviting to "strum [her] like a guitar," right?) So by the time Janet's murmuring, "Daddy, I disobeyed you," on the masochistic title track, you can dismiss any images of the abusive Jackson clan that flit into your mind. Just lie back and enjoy the sensations as pure aural autoeroticism. | |

Luv and Rock With You aint that bad....it just took me 4 listens to get myself in2 it because it was so obvious J&T&J didnt have any writing The only thing I wanna c is James Harris III, Terry Lewis and Janet Jackson with production payments to Black Doll and Flyte Tyme

My friend is at the press listening party in NYC right now. He just called me. Rollercoaster is funky. I heard some of 2nite, which has a really great beat. Bathroom Break is nothing at all, just her in the bathroom talking with her girlfriends about what they should do next. [Edited 2/6/08 16:59pm] | |

So Much Betta is quite minimalist for a Janet track. Not too many lryics but a good beat. | |

Everything sounds great at listening parties, done enough of them that i can recite the bull that the executives spit out and they clap for any and everything because what else can they do. Most people go to the listening parties for open bar and free food, trust me, there were people at the NEW POWER SOUL listening party so drunk that they wee like WOW this album is amazing. LA's speech reminds of this weasel at SONY who was talking about some group at a party and he played a song and said "if this isnt a number one hit this summer than somethings wrong", the freaking label didnt even push the band, and then they dropped them. "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |
