i will yahoo messenger 2 u if u want it. Dont know if it is on her site anymore.

Yeah your right, perhaps i'll be feeling the RnB mixes more. it seems a strange choice for the first single though, usually the first sets the scene for the whole album ...
i heard that Gill is cheographing (sp?) now taking over from Shawnette, Im hoping Tina Landon will come back again soon.

Thanks but I have heard most of it on the radio today. Whoever said that it sounded a bit like "When You Were Mine" is right on the money. It has that pop kind of feel to it. It's a nice fun song but I would say it is in the lower half of Janet songs (and by that I mean the lower half of "Conrtol" and after since I'm not very family with the first two albums). It just doesn't catch me but strangely neither did "All For You" and that is my jam so we'll see. I look forward to the album and can't wait to her some Euro dance music from Janet. Hot!

Before the LMFALW-detractors get their respective undergarments in a bunch, wait until the video is dropped and the R&B remix hits. Janet knows where she's gonna take us with her project. Personally, I'm waiting for Rauhofer's club mix. Right now, I'm jamming this song and "Megamix '04 (Hard Cox Mega Dub)." I'm already hearing good news about the R&B mix from kids that have the vinyl promo (have yet to hear it though). Go 'head, Janet.

To me, Rauhofer is just another detractor to this project. His mixes are monotonous and boring. His formula is "take a pinch of tribal beats, add a lot of washed out vocals and make the overall result sound REALLY, REALLY muddy."

It tells you something that when Madonna is really invested in making a maxi-single work (What It Feels Like For A Girl, Music), she contracts multiple remixers, each with their own style, producing some classic remixes in the process. When she doesn't really give a shit (Nothing Fails, American Life maxis), she hires Rauhofer.

LOL! It never fails, the topic of Madonna seems to always come up in a Janet thread. Why the constant comparisons? Can't the two ladies stand alone? I feel like Madonna's the boogiemonster, she's always mentioned somehow when someone talks about Janet! It's corny.

Lol, my main point wasn't about Madonna, it was about Rauhofer and the quality (or lack thereof) of his remixes. Respond to that. I was not comparing Madonna to Janet.

P.S.: Since Madonna's the "Grand Calculator," why would she pay Rauhofer loads of money to knowingly make a (as you say) "sh*tty" remix? Isn't that a tad bit counterproductive?

Oh, god, we're delineating into Madonna discussions on a Janet thread again! :-X

As far as Rauhofer, his mixes were hot to me last year. I was feeling his remixes of Whitney's "Love That Man," Funky Green Dogs' "Rise Up," Aguilera's "Beautiful," Amuka's "Appreciate Me," etc. The man is a little repetitive, but he gives the circuit boys what they want. If the KY jelly's slick enough why switch to Vaseline? I'm on a roll tonight. Sorry, folks.

Back to "Love..."

Note: Lol, Madonna makes mistakes just like every megastar out there. I don't consider her the litmus test (or "Grand Calculator") for anything. She's done things that are quite stupid in her career, and using Rauhofer on remixes might be one of them (I've hated the mixes he's done for her so far).

I did like his mix of "Beautiful", but I feel that he relies way too much on his formula to be interesting. There are remixers out there who try different things every now and then. He won't be able to liven up "Love Me For A Little While" for me.

I'm looking forward to hearing the R&B Mix, though. I don't find the pop mix very enticing or sexy (the lyrics don't really mesh with the music). Every time I hear it, I think "if Janet starred in a Mentos commercial ca. 1983...". It sounds like that. A bad 80s musical. Or maybe something you'd hear at the circus. But a remix could really hit it out of the park for me. Give it some meat.

You know what would be hot: I would love to hear a dark remix of a Janet song a la Scumfrog. He did wonders for Monica's "So Gone" single last year. That was a massive hit nationwide. I was killing that song last year. Janet & Scumfrog should collaborate on a dance remix, definitely. Maybe, she should shop around for some DJs trying to make a name for themselves. She has the star power, they have the hunger, that'll make a big hit for both parties. Rauhofer's in a comfort zone just like a lot of big name producers in the peak of their commercial powers (look @ the Neptunes commercially...same thing happened with Timbaland a few years back...same thing happened with Thunderpuss, etc.)

From what I've gathered in interviews and testimonials, Janet and Tina had a falling out. I believe Tina was the no-gooder lambasted in "You Ain't Right" and was partially implicated on "Son Of A Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)." I don't see them working together any time soon.

I downloaded it off of suomynona's site! http://www.prince.org/msg/8/78540

I'm likin' it. This song is so much fun!

I end up singing "touchin' all my favorite fruit frooh, frooh, ooh"

I don't think anyone expected to hear electric guitar on a Janet track like this.

The ending sounds a bit ernest and like a jingle to me (someone fucked me up with their Mentos comment ) but this song is jammin'.
