But Gray, come on now, Janet cannot sing and her weak voice lends itself to these types of songs which is why she cannot evolve. Without the slick, overproduction what's left???

Good point but she has managed 2 get this far with that mouse voice.....

Yeah, but she hasn't had any real commercial success in AGES so folks ain't buying it any more. Like I've said before Janet is a great entertainer and should go to Vegas and stage a killer show.

Excuse me? confused

Mick Jagger & Aerosmith are STILL singing about sex, and both dudes are as old as Moses.

The dead horse has already been buried when it comes to this shit, Tina Turner made her breakthrough when she was over 45 and sang NOTHING but raunchy music,,,,and that was 25 years ago shrug

Janet's ONLY problem though is redundancy, she has been naggin' us with the SAME method eversince All 4 U. I seriously think that if she re-invented herself "musically" like she always did and KEPT ON PROMOTING IT, she would come back with a bang

Folks already dismissed Mariah after Glitter and ALL the odds were against her untill she shushed 'em with "Mimi"(which I didn't like) but still, she took the world by a storm with that album.

Same will go with Ms.Jackson,,,,,and I'm also happy that she's doing movies along, that too is helpful.

Come on Harley I sure wouldn't call anything on Private Dancer "raunchy" lol Tina CAN still sing while Janet never really could regardless of subject matter.

Tina's costumes were raunchy but not the music, that's for damn sure. Also Tina objected to singing about sexual stuff (as she mentioned she hated doing a sexed-up version of Otis' "I've Been Loving You Too Long" with Ike directing her to do so, lol).

Never said he wasn't, did I? Nope. But that wasn't what you were stating. You said "Singing about one's sex life in your 40's is NOT going 2 cut." and I was showing you that there are artists that do that.

Considering Discipline opened with 100k more than Ciara's new album (supposedly one of the hot chicks in the game, and a former IDJ labelmate), she's clearly got some gas left in her.

What she seems to be doing is financing and cutting an album and then shopping it around to labels. I guess is she doesn't want to go through another IDJ situation where LA Reid defines the album for her. Smart move.

Ok "raunchy" might be a lack of expression, it sure was damn sexually suggestive though, right? lol

And what about Mick Jagger & Lockjaws AKA Aerosmith? You can't tell these ol' limp ass mofos don't take it to the limits lol

I figured she was doing that. I also think she kinda rushed when she signed with IDJ to do "Discipline", it happened too fast and IDJ didn't know what to do with her (since Rihanna was on the same label).

IDJ had no idea how to promote Rihanna, Janet and Mariah all at the same time. That's one of the problems with major labels - they can't effectively manage more than one big artist these days. Janet and Mariah's projects suffered as a result.

I knew there was tension with LA when Feedback was just dropped into the marketplace at the end of December, 2007. A totally odd campaign for that song that was the antithesis of how you effectively create a hit and stimulate interest.

Regardless, she is in the studio with Jimmy & Terry, which means she will own the masters of whatever music is being created right now.
