Albums don’t last the way they used to. If you drop an album today and then start touring 6 months later, unless that album is really strong and kicking out successful singles, there’s going to be a big lull that may or may not be overcome.


That's true.Maybe Janet should just say "fuck it" and do a Greatest Hits tour this summer.Focus on the old songs....remind people why they became fans in the first place.It'll take alot of pressure off of her.

Or try something completely new. Do all the songs from your past that she was mentioning earlier but said she thought was "impossible", lol. Rather that than a repeat of past tours.

they should sit down with She Who Should Not Be Named and have her give them a lesson in changing things up.

I'm pretty sure everyone in Janet's camp has confirmed that this show will be different than the others...Voices?

I really want to hear:

Rollercoaster as the opener
You Want This
Do it 2 Me
Whats Ur Name
Discipline
Enjoy
Curtains
So Much Betta
Get it Out Me
R&B Junkie
I Want You
Like You Don't Love Me
Miss You Much
Control


...though chances on most of those are slim...
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

there are quite a few songs on the album which are stupid... Like so much betta, rollercoaster, dicipline, and that one she made with missy....


she had 5-6 decent songs on the album.. but the interludes were so cheesy... and annoying... what was she calling that robot... AOKEY.. confused

anyways.... if you just heard feedback and rock with you.. YOU would think the album was going to be filled with electro dance songs... but really it has lots of slow songs....

How many of ya'll listen to the actual "radio" anymore?

I really don't listen to mainstream radio anymore except when I have to--and usually that's more a conservative choice of stations then I would listen to on my own. Even my gym has satellite radio.

I just think artists are going to have to change the way they promote their work.

I just hope Janet doesn't get too discouraged, deciding NOT to tour. sad

I listen to the radio in the car when I don't have my iPods or CDs on me which is rare and I'd rather listen to myself talking out loud than the radio. Whenever I give it a whirl it's the SAME TEN SONGS and way too many commercials. Just horrible, although I am currently digging a new rock station we just got in the area. Other than that why do they need DJs? jut put playlist on repeat.

as a whole i like 20 Y.O. better.... BUT... this album has some of the best songs... like a few of her songs sounds like MJ and I love those songs.. like whats your name... i like that one....

but i was disappointed towards the end of the album... with the slow song discipline.. and rollercoaster which has an annoying beat... and so much better is a cheap song.. a ghetto song that you would find on some basement bootleg...

and that song with missy ill its really wow.. thats all i can say.. but I REALLY HATE ROLLERCOASTER.... it sounds like someone accident put that beat together..

i wanted this album to be more dance.. and it was NOT... BUT... it had 5-6 decent songs.. and thats enough for me.... i don't expect to EVER like a full album unless its MICHAEL JACKSON.. i just like hearing his voice..

that's the thing with Janet, her albums are never one genre alone, I've kind of gotten used to the idea that she will not do a full dance album or full electronica or full r&b album the way madonna does, she will always mix it up, and I like how she mixes it up. If I'm in the mood for the new dance tracks, I'll play those, and if I'm in the mood for the ballads which I really like this time aside from Curtains, I'll play those.

Is trying to hold a sensible discussion too hard for some of you?

The pettyness that goes on in the forum is just childishly ridiculous!

Right....even though that's what was promised, it's more midtempo and slow stuff than full on dance/upbeat. If she tours (sadly, I think her flu is her leaving for another year or two to come up with the next album/project) it will be intersting to hear what is added. I wouldn't that a lot of the slower songs sneak in there. "Disicpline" almost certaintly.

Unless something changes,this CD may not even reach gold status,at least here in the States.There needs to be some more aggressive promotion.
