BLASPHEMY!

I've seen about every Janet related interview, footage or whatever known to man kind and never did I hear Jimmy Jam or Terry Lewis say that! Maybe you can prove me wrong by posting this interview on here! and besides what is a "black Madonna"? Would that require Janet to dry hump the stage floor while belting sour notes? or would that require her to build her career off controversy? Who out now is trying to be Madonna besides Lady CaCa? Nobody. Janet is the most emulated artist ever! I only can recall Jimmy Jam saying that him, Janet and Terry Lewis wanted Control to be in every black household. After seeing the success of Thriller they wanted Control to be like the black Thriller but it became more then that. It was targeted to one audience but Janet already crossed-over. And she made music history! First artist to have five Top 5 singles from one album and First artist to place six #1 R&B singles from one album.

blah blah blah... I'm not going to post the interview, because I have no interest in finding it. I read it like 15 years ago. As I said, (the flattering) parts of it were excerpted for the Design Of A Decade liner notes, I believe, but I care so little that I'm not going to bother. I've seen parts of it quoted pretty often, usually in sloppy celebrity bio type of crap way back when, even reprinted in a book that I rented from the library when I was about 16. He discusses the evolution of Control and how the tracks were intended for another singer, etc.....

You're the Janet nut, you go find it. I'm sure you've got a clipping of it somewhere under your bed.

b4 u try 2 come down on me let me say this ..i do like janet ..her biggest mistakes recently is letting other producers come in instead of keeping the nucleus of jimmy/terry/janet. but i have 2 laugh when u say longevity ..just take a look at the album design of a decade (1986-1996) by the way the album came out in 1995! decade missed by ONE year...but in that time span, janet only released 3 albums!!!

longevity isn't about how long u've been in the game cause then we could put d'angelo and all the others that have made one or 2 albums but still around doing something..it's about the output u make that makes it longevity.

Janet needs to retire. Her time is up. She's been through a lot in the last 5 years and it's seriously affected her music. She's too old to be singing about humping a dick all nite. Talk about love. But she doesn't have the voice to sing non pop music.

Yea,yea,yea because you're lying

NEXT!!! ->>>

people like you are why I started disliking Janet about 10 years ago. I figured, "If this is the kind nutjob-in-denial she attracts, I'm going to have to rethink my love for her."

ditto Prince.

100% Correct.

Not exactly. RN1814 and Janet produced several hit singles covering almost a two year span per album. Not to mention the world tours she did for both albums.

and in those 2 years besides singles, how many albums did she put out?


janet's track record is usually 2-3 years on one project so control (1986), Rythym nation (1989) and janet (1993) with 2 additional tracks make up design of a decade

falls right in2 the 2-3 year trend

it's still not longevity it's just grinding out the project 2 it's exhausted
