When I think of You 1986

[youtube:227ec53435][/youtube:227ec53435]

I am truly flabbergasted at people trying to say Janet Jackson isn't talented. One thing to not like an artist, another thing to live in FantasyWorld about what they can and cannot do.

What used to get me with Janet is I did think she lipped synched a lot, and then I realized...she sounds just like her songs when she is live. That's actually very rare for most artists. And her voice is actually pretty strong. And she maintains control even while dancing!

Anyway I have nothing but love for Ms. Janet and I'm happy to join the dance party.

Of course Paula is a better dancer than Janet.

Look at her tap dancing in Straight Up music video.

Yeah, Janet accounts for 3% of my top 1000 songs.

As everythings digital these days i never read the sleeve notes of records anymore - and i totally overlooked the fact that she worked with Dallas Austin, and Babyface on this record. There's some great cuts on this album. if she'd chopped out the section from Warmth to Truly - it would have flowed so much better. With that section though it just seems to drag on and on.
