As much as like Janet, that entire incident could have been avoided has she just said, "No, Justin". For those of you who think that Justin is the ONLY one to blame, you all are sadly mistaken. She was just as responsible for what happened as much as he was. To this day, I think she went along with it, knowing what was going to happen. It was done to give her career a kick and to place not only her music on the charts, but her name in the news again.

Can't say I disagree. But it's been five years since.

Timmy84 said:

I remember the next day, people wanted to hang Justin. I was like, Janet could have said, "Hell No"! When it backfired, she pulled a Shaggy, "It wasn't me". I was like "yeah, okay".

shorttrini said:

Yeah I've calmed down since then. I was on the hang Justin bandwagon too. But now I could care less about him, lol. I never did anyways.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Janet has learned, and has moved on.

There are a thousand worse things out there than that one incident.

Anyways regarding Janet's music, I think its gone downhill after Velvet Rope.

I didn't even care about All 4 You.

She needs to reinvent herself a bit. She's been in the industry for a long time, and looks tacky trying to keep up with the other female singers out there.

Go do your own thing Janet. Show the same spirit you did during Rhythm Nation, Control, Janet, and Velvet Rope

Damita Jo and All for You are great as well
[Edited 8/5/09 18:13pm]

Yeah Damita Jo and All for You. I've learned to appreciate All for You ballads-wise. Musically that was some ethereal shit.

She needs to reinvent herself a bit. She's been in the industry for a long time, and looks tacky trying to keep up with the other female singers out there.

As a Janet fan, I must agree with this statement Janet is legendary. Janet is an Icon and needs to realize the these new girls need to get where she is, not her compete down I hope this time out, she takes chances (as she did with Velvet Rope at the time), re invent, and create good music without caring about album sales or the Beyonce's and Britney's (love them both) of today. She definatel has a lot of emotions to draw from (loss of her brother to her break up)

trueiopian said:

I could care less though

suga10 said:

"That's the way love goes" from Janet is may favorite song, byt "The Velvet Rope" is my favorite Janet as a whole. The Velvet Rope, though not her biggest seller (though it sold. extremely well) was her most personal artistic cd to date.

Timmy84 said:

AFY is def. ahead of its time. I love every track

totaldiva said:

Exactly.

She was so impressive back then.

What I notice a lot about the older singers like Mariah, Madonna, and Janet, is that none of their new stuff sounds as good as the earlier stuff.

Maybe they're feeling the heat amongst the new singers

suga10 said:

Did you even bother listening to them?

I wrote Damita Jo off as a shitty album before even listening to it and didn't even bother checking it out because of what people were saying but then I actually listened to it and I love it!

I think Michael's death will inspire her to go all out with this album , I think this album will be personal I could be wrong though

my favourite Janet Jackson albums in order would probably look like this.


1. velvet rope
2. janet tie
2. control tie
3. rhythm nation 1814
4. discipline
5. 20 y.o.
6. all for you
7. damita jo
8. dream street
9. janet jackson

trueiopian said:

Well All 4 You is okay. Its not bad or anything. I just don't really care about it.

Damita Jo I have issues with. Ughhh.

I was under the impression that she jam & lewis were busy working their ass off on this new project and sources say its a smoker.....I heard DANCE is the word most referenced.....So watch out people.....She's hungry. I wish her luck in an already lengthy star studded career.....LEGENDARY ICON.

suga10 said:

I have the same top 4 as you do, but in a different order:

1. Rhythm Nation
2. Control
3. Janet
4. The Velvet Rope

There are songs I love on every album (even 20 Y.O.), but the other albums aren't as consistent.

One of her most underrated songs, sadly relegated to b-side status:

babybugz said:

That's what I hope.

Janet comes out at the best during very emotional points of her life.

shorttrini said:

THIS!

What happened to Together Again Janet?

suga10 said:

I think AFY and Damita Jo are consistent good albums. Now 20 Y.O. had issues with and we all know that was JD's doing! It's like that album is bipolar. JD being the mad and J&L being the good.

I also love the song Runaway from Design of a Decade.
