He's been saying that the last ten years, I'm like "YEAH WE KNOW DUMBASS!"

midiscover said:

The only way I can describe it is the "dunt-dunt-dunt-dunt-dunnnnt DUNNNT" melody. And, it's sped up in Janet's song. This track is FIRE!

Okay, I hear it now!

daPrettyman said:

agree. JD is doing the same shit over and over again. 10 years ago, all of Jerkins' songs were variations on "The Boy Is Mine"

I'm Jerkins isn't on the new album!!

midiscover said:

I no JD songs end up on the album.

I Gil is not allowed to be the "creative" person on the projects.

Janhovah answered you first prayer *the clouds are separating*

The second prayer is well....not going to be answered

I think she should get back with Tina, and that she, Jimmy and Terry should be the sole collaborators on the new CD. Although, Make Me is hot, and that came from her collaboration with RJ, so maybe he can throw in a couple of tracks.

J&L are already working with Janet on the new album. I just wish it was the three of them only. And I'm so over Tina Cool if she's back and Cool if she's not

since when are choreographers like Tina and Gil involved in the creation of the music?

Who said it was?

errant said:

I meant Gil needs to fall back a little as far as creative consultation goes...

midiscover said:

I just cant agree. Especially after The Emanicpation fo Mimi and E=MC2 it seemed like he was trying to out do himself on other peoples tracks he created. Nobody here even knew Rodney made "Make Me"..we all were thinking J&T produced that one. I say that Rodney has used less sampling and more avant grade production skills compared to JD. JD only really branched out recently on "So Much Betta" and even that was highly sampled by Daft Punk. I mean he took the beginning of one of his own songs for 3LW and used it again for "Call On Me"...how creative is that?

I'm glad my fav artists produce THEMSELVES.

I don't have a problem with singers working with producers. My problem is that a lot of times people tend to make people sound like other people.

People always complain about P doing the same thing, but think about it, Prince is doing the same thing he's done since the beginning of his career. He has experimented with different sounds, instruments and arrangements, yet still maintaining his trademark MPLSOUND and groove.

I hope that J can get back to the "janet" sound that she and jimmy and terry created. With that being said, Jimmy and Terry (I think) need to up their game and get back to writing up tempo jams and grooves. In recent years, they have been on the ballad kick.

Different strokes for different folks! JD isn't a bad producer he just lacks creativity. IMO- He's a far better producer then Rodney Jerkins. I think Rodney works better with Janet then JD does. JD + Mariah = good, I guess....

Anyways! I was listening to the Velvet Rope album and I just noticed how different TVR and AFY are Like whoa!!!

I'm Janet is experimental again!

midiscover said:

i love gil's work as a creative director... though i'd love to see Janet work with William Baker. i think he could do wonders for her shows.

She was going the commercial pop route with AFY.

trueiopian said:

I'm sure she was "forced" to after TVR didn't perform as well as Virgin wanted it to.

I heard "Make me" is getting airplays!

SEANMAN said:

Funny, the first time I heard Make Me I thought it was reminiscent of Chic. Guess this explains it as well as why I like it so much.

midiscover said:

NICE!!
