Yes! LOVE MLITR...

Janet should've been credited for "Diamonds" at least, same with Lisa & Janet on "Making Love".

I believe Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam produced Herb's album. Another great dance track was

"Keep Your Eyez On Me'.

They only did four songs on the record. I bought the album when it 1st came out and I got Whitney Houston's 2nd album at the same time. The 4th Jam & Lewis song is called Pillow and it's a duet with Herb and his wife Lani Hall.

This is one JJ's most underrated songs. I still listen to it but I forgot how corny the video was

Yes it's that bad. Not enough JJ

I always thought this was one of Janet's better vocal performances.

Her voice has definately changed throughout the years. Her "Control"-era vocals were strong and sharp, particularly on songs like Nasty and Control.

Some of my fav 80´s tracks...Keep your eye on me and Diamonds!!!

Typical Flyte Time production, just great!

I love Diamonds, too.

Hey SEANMAN, do you recall Janet in an interview being asked about voice lessons/vocal coaches and improving her voice in general? I believe she replied something to the effect of, if you can sing, you sing. I grew up singing with my family all the time. In essence saying, I don't need or want one.

I think she might have took a negative connotation to the question instead of looking at it as something improving and maintaining the strength of ones voice.

I remember reading something about her saying she took vocal lessons in the past, but not being asked about it and responding offensively. I think she took them at the beginning of recording Control if I remember correctly.

They still are, it is just that she has not had any vocally challenging or natural vocal tunes handed to her...or even written any lately.

Someone needs to challenge her again once she returns to the studio next year.

Nah. Do some SERIOUS funk cuts again. C'mon Jimmy & Terry, I know you want to. Y'all and Janet ain't getting any younger!

That would be something I'd like to hear

Making Love In The Rain Lisa's Keith's voice was nice on that one.

Loved Diamonds too.
