This song is too much of a jam. Damit(a), Janet! Here we go again playing a song 100 times!

"Feels like I'm goin' in circles, you're like a maze I can't get thru,
should I go left,
should I go right
should I let you stay fo' da night
It's like a seesaw when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up...this girl is down
and I just can't figure it out"

Do the damn thing, Janet.

I'm really diggin' Kanye West...the Alicia Keys track and this have a classic feel, and then he can still do the rap thing on other stuff. not to mention, I've never stopped likeing Chaka's Through the Fire, he beat me to that sample!

I LOVE THIS TRACK!!!

Proves how diverse DAMITA JO is really going to be!

The beginning of the song reminds me of "Fire & Desire"...the FUCK N ROLL classic...I mean...FUNK N ROLL classic by Rick James/Teena Marie

I'm on my 5th listen!
Every minute of last night is on my face today....

I'm having a fun time playing Janet's two new songs back-to-back repeatedly in my iTunes player. They sound so well together, really does show the interchangability of the new album -- anticipating Damita Jo, like a mo'!

This song made my day memorable. I was at a computer on my university campus and then I saw something that read "Listen to Janet's 'I Want You'." I was like " eek " When the song came on, completely took me away. I love the classic sparkle of it. I just feel so good right now. I'm just steadily listening to this song and sitting in my computer chair smiling. Me and my roommate are jamming to this and "Just A Little While." So fiending for Mar. 30.

I like this. Not in love with it yet but I think it will grow on me. I haven't been very impressed with anything Kayne West has released but this is good.

Janet's voice sounds kind of weak on this, especially at the beginning; it doesn't sound as soft and soothing like it did on "The Best Things On Life Are Free" or "Runaway", for example. It's a cute joint, I guess, but nothing special. Maybe a reject from Alicia Keys "You Don't Know My Name" sessions? It sounds like it, so it wouldn't make it as a single (no novelty factor). It's very much in the girl group style. Pretty but not arresting. I've heard this type of thing thousands of times before. Like comfort food.

By the way, this is in fact the heavily-rumoured "real" first single "Have Your Way With Me". I don't know if they've retitled it "I Want You", but I don't think so. The site probably got the title wrong. This also would have been a wrong choice for a first single (at least it's better than "Just A Little While", though), considering that Alicia's hit is still in the Top 5 (maybe that's why they switched it so abruptly?).

Sorry, but this still hasn't gotten me excited about the new album. It's no "Miss You Much" or "That's The Way Love Goes".

well...that was then and this is now. from what i've heard before...from you and others...janet can't seem to win. i mean, when she does the same old same old, you say she hasn't changed but then when she does two different styles (different for her, i mean) you guys say its not the same as before. well, which is it? do you want something new or do you want something familiar? it can't be both...

I meant that in terms of wow factor and single quality, not in terms of music style. I love Janet as well, but I just don't think she's up to par here, that's all. I don't know WHERE you got the idea that I was bitching about her musical style (I love her ballads and Janet doing girl group would be heaven to me).

That was then and this is now, and unfortunately, this isn't as good as what was then, IMHO wink.

A little something called different opinions and different tastes. And I'm a fan, how is she not winning with me? I'm not obsessed, true, but must you love every single goddamn thing an artist does in order to be a fan? I hope not.

I was humming this song in a cab last night. It was raining and I was looking out the window. I felt like Janet in the "I Get Lonely" video.

"How I wish it was you (callin' me)
I want it to be youuu (holdin' me),
Boy, it needs to be you (kissin' mee-eehh-eee-eeeh)"
