Even till this very day, I can NOT believe that you were so disappointed of the janet. album because of ONE song (That The Way Love Goes). You still could've brought that album because of If, Throb, & Funky Big Band.

AND if u can't find someone worth a half shit...I would be more than HAPPY 2 BUY an album of just JANET...stripped down...just you...something honest and BOLD

WOOOOW! Jermaine bit hard off of that one. And he always wonder why he's not respected in the game. It's because of pulling shit like this. I mean....damn bruh. Thanks for sharing Cinnie! Loved it. I'm trying to be patient and just wait and see what SHE comes up with. Afterall, it is her vision not Jermaine's or anyone elses. Sometimes I think her insecurites get in the way of her own instincts. She seems to rely too much on others more than trusting herself.

Janet still got the hots for the midget!!!

Haven't bought a Janet album in years. On some tracks, she'll giggle; on some tracks, she'll moan; and she'll have a message track thrown in to show her depth.

Maybe on her next album she will try out yawning.

or yodeling.

Janet is Truely underrated. I have bought ALL her albums. And my friends will talk about how they don't like janet. As soon as i play the albums they are asking to get a copy. People just don't give janet the time of day. She is blacklisted. and MAJORITY OF PEOPLE FOLLOW THE LEADER. When someone is Hot everyone is buying their music even if it really is crap, Honestly Man Gaga and Kanye West aren't creating anything better then janet jackson. They are just more popular.

I Think janet needs to cut back with the sex stuff. But her music is actually great if i you give it a chance.

From the last three albums she had some nice cutts like

Rock With You
Curtain
Luv
Roll Witchu
With U
All Nite
Island Life
Just a Little while.

I have a friend who only listed to janet's 80s stuff, when i played "island life" he could not get enough of that song.

I enjoy her latest Song, MAKE ME. Thats another underrated song, and YES songs may take time to grow on you. But that song is a classic janet song.

Janet has NOT changed her style of music. She has really been making the same music since the velvet rope.

That is sad.

What is wrong with these women?

TotalAlisa said:

Janet is just one hit away from being back on top. Then that will shut everyone up

Who gives a fuck about hits at this point?

Aw! So cute

cosmoplastic said:

This. + I wouldn't mind if she worked with some unknown producers or do something out of the ordinary - musically.

I would love an unplugged performance of just her ballads.

A Janet album produced by Prince?

I ain't too sure about that.....

bboy87 said:

LOL! hell na...I only agree with doing something stripped down. But I think a Prince collab would be nice.

bboy87 said:

The shade

A Prince album suited to Janet would be interesting to say the least, but having said that I'm not sure how it would work out or if it is even possible, given Prince's ego.

Janet is so much more than just another Prince protege and Prince has a hard time doing anything with his name on it that doesn't advance his own story. THE TIME and VANITY 6 are nothing more than chapters in the Prince story. If Prince were to work with Janet, it would be best if he did it without taking credit - so that the work didn't have to relate to him.

I really enjoyed 3121, and a female version similar to that sound would be very cool (and I don't mean like T DAVIS). Janet has her own story to tell, and as nice as it sounds, I'm not sure it would live up to be what it seems it could be.

In a certain sense, Janet is way too big for Prince. Then again, somebody has got to bring the funk back to music one of these days, and a Janet-Prince record could do just that.

TotalAlisa said:

I totally agree with you.

Janet has unquestionably been BLACKlisted since the Superbowl.

DISCIPLINE and DAMITA JO are two of the best albums from 2000s - period. Additionally, the FEEDBACK and ROCKWITU videos were out of this world, with Janet at the top of her game.

Janet is arguably better than she's ever been. Many of the people cannot realize this because they don't think for themselves.

vanity2 said:

to argue that those two albums are anywhere near as strong as Velvet Rope of RN is just plain delusional. Yes she is blacklisted, BUT if she were to release as single nearly as strong as Miss You Much or Together Again she'd quickly find commercial success. Madonna was blacklisted after AL but she was still able to dig her way back to the radio, Janet can still do the same.

vanity2 said:

Come on now. I love Janet as much as you or anything, but "Feedback" was a horrible video. It was unoriginal, boring, bland to look at, and had no real dancing in it, despite it screaming for some. The dance didn't even kick in until 2/3 of the way into the song. They're jumping around planets or something? Pffft, MFer please.

RKJCNE said:

Well its easier for Madonna to come back. Because of a certain shade of color. Janet has it a little harder. Its sad to say that but its true. Her brothers death is giving her fire in her career. To make people take notice of her again.

Janet can sing and people need to stop saying she can't. She just has a more sultry light voice. She's no Patti Labelle. But neither is Beyonce.

KCOOLMUZIQ said:

Aaaaaannnnnd now it's a race thing. What bullshit.

Madonna never left, so there's nothing to come back from. Same with Janet. Neither retired or left the music business or went more than 2.5 years without releasing music.

KCOOLMUZIQ said:

Look at the hot 100 right now and tell me its all white.
na uh
many of the hottest stars today are black so that excuse does not work.

RKJCNE said:

Your missing the point of what I said. I feel white artist are forgiven more when something bad happens to them.If Madonna showed her boobie which she already has shown it and everything else. She wouldn't have been half as criticized as Janet has been.

I'm already aware of that the music charts are full of black artist. It has been that was for the last few decades....

trueiopian said:

61% favored and 5% sold. Janet needs to work with the people who know her talents, skills, and - yes - limitations (ie, jam & lewis).

this is shitty news.

Bkeeper said:

Truly great producers. That's why everything from "Love Will Never Do Without You" to "Again" worked for her. Ditto for their New Edition and related work.

KCOOLMUZIQ said:

Yor're right. But to be quite frank, Janet's career was already heading down a slippery slop. So it's easily a mixture both her race and just her in general. Anyone that thinks race has nothing to do is either deluded or white. America doesn't like when a black women's sexuality is displayed so really the backlash was expected.

KCOOLMUZIQ said:

but not becuz madonna's white. it's becuz she would stand 4 her acts, like she always did(except for the AL video fiasco). Janet decided 2 be the sorry bitch...if u're a bitch, u have 2 be a proud bitch...sorry bitches = losers..

trueiopian said:

That would be hott!
