Song of the day...

Truth

How did I get here
Think I know what I did
Always worked real hard
Maybe I missed somethin'
I'm not into pointing fingers
Showin' who's right or wrong
I just wanna keep it real
'cause maybe I was doin' fine on my own

Listen...
I had a career before now didn't I
I had lots of friends before now didn't I
And I had my fans before now didn't I
And I had my family before now didn't I

(B-Section)
Guess without you
My little life was nothin'
But don't sweat it
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary 'cause
We both have our whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free

(Chorus)
Don't act like you don't know the truth
'cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child things will be bright 'cause
Truth will set you free

Conversations deep
When you talk to yourself
There's no way to cheat
'cause you know you can't be no one else
Won't trip out on disappointment
'cause failure is just not me
Still I gotta do my job
'cause you know my show can't go on without me

Listen...
I had a career before now didn't I
Sold out 'round the world before now didn't I
I had a few hits before now didn't I
And danced until my feet were sore now
Didn't I

(B-Section)

It's hard to believe
The love between us is over
It's sad to thing we couldn't work it out
But how much is enough to pay for this mistake
Hope your love was sincere

(Chorus 2X)

Do you know the truth
Feel it
Live it
Do you know the truth
Trust it
Believe it
Do you know the truth
You want it
And need it
Do you know the truth
To find it
Embrace it
And never let it go


Written by Janet Jackson, James Harris III, Terry Lewis,

you got me singing' and smilin'! I loves me some janet. Did you see the all for you tour? Man, i'll tell you, she may have postponed here in philly and made us wait a few extra months but it was well worth it!

if "Forever" is the same as "10 good years bookended by stupidity" then Janet IS forever. and a day...

With all those plastic surgeries, she sure is trying to be 'forever'.

this morning i happened to hear "let's wait awhile," it brought a smile to my face and made me think that "Control" was the trio's finest moment. then I thought... why don't all "Janet" albums say "Jam & Lewis w/Janet on (studio altered) vocals"???

I really enjoy what they release, and own most of it, but I've never seen Janet as a true artist in her own right. that's just me.

so do you not consider dance a "true art"? The fact that she is self taught and can choreograph on her own as well as co-produce and write half of her music is pretty artful. After all, we can't all be Prince!

okay, I'll give her the dance bit.

but as for co-producing and writing half of her music -- that's the point, I said "in her own right." i'd just like to see what she could do without Jam & Lewis.

Self taught? Sibling taught more like. And who the hell were Paula Abdul and Tina Landon if she choreographs her own stuff?
