Janet Jackson appreciation thread

[Hafo]

Probably I'll get ex-communicated from other sites, but what the heck.
Janet has given us PLENTY of good songs. Much more than anyone else. Local star or not, "That's The Way Love Goes", "If", "Escapade", "All For You" and the fab "All Nite" are FAB and all GAYERS should appreciate them.

Hey, I even love Scream, with Janet's older brother.

There.

Obviously *SIGNED*

Didn't know Janet's music was considered 'gay' though...

[Joseph]

I don't consider Janet's stuff 'gay' but I do like a good majority of her songs

"Everytime" still gets me all teary-eyed

[The Politics Of Dancing]

I don't consider Janet's stuff 'gay' but I do like a good majority of her songs

"Throb", "If" and "What Have You Done For Me Lately" definitely. "Whoops Now" too. :D

Signed btw.

[Sheena]

Oh there is some FINE Janet stuff in the past. Even present day Janet can come up with a few corkers which the admittedly half-baked "Damita Jo" proves

"Janet" is a fucking fine album though, seriously one of the best ever in its genre

"Everytime" still gets me all teary-eyed

I try to fly, I fall without my wings I feel so small

Hence the difference in that title... Every Time ;)

[Sheena]

"Every Time" is quite lovely. It had a good club mix as well. Odd how it bombed QUITE so spectacularly though...

Bombed in the US as well... making #125!(#25 Bubbling Under Hot 100) :o Sadly it's her biggest flop in the US ever.

The video is easily one of Janet's best! :D

Oh, and sorry Sheena love, but "Everytime" is shit. Britney Spears vocals meets supremely bad lyrics and shit musical arrangement. Just bad.

[Floella]

I got Control and Rhythm Nation for £2 each today. I thought it was about time I investigated early Janet. I don't think I can even hum the tune to any Janet song prior to That's The Way Love Goes. That shows my total lack of interest in Janet.

However I shall listen before bed tonight...

[Sheena]

Do you mean "Everytime" or "Every Time" ? Who ARE we talking about here

Anyway, you talk SHIT

You'll LOVE em, Flo. I HOPE

I mean the Janice one. Where's Ellie when you need her? She despises it just as much as I do.

Rhythm Nation has been on my Janet list for ages, but I never get round to it. I had it on tape and it mysteriously disappeared ages ago.

[PGCMc]

I got both Janet & Damita Jo recently & both are very good All For You is dire...I don't see anything that special about Velvet Rope either...Design Of A Decade is quite good

She's more of a singles artist

[Suedehead]

Janet is too self-indulgent to be a great albums artist. All her albums take a dip towards the end and the interludes are just tired.

[Floella]

Suedehead in jibbering confused Madonna fan rubbish nonshocker.

[Hafo]

Oh here we GO again :evil:

Rhythm Nation 1814 is a FAB album from beggining to end!

[Suedehead]

Suedehead in jibbering confused Madonna fan rubbish nonshocker.
*obsessively decorates Madonna shrine and stabs Whoriah voodoo doll*

I stuck in two mini-silicone bags in that doll for good measure too.

[Sheena]

The interludes work on "Rhythm Nation" and "Janet" if you ask me (less so on the latter, fresh n vibrant on the former) but after that they REALLY should have been kicked to the KERB. They are downright embarrassing on "Damita Jo"....

Why does no one have "Again" in their Top 10. Is it seen as really SHIT or something?

I think it might be my #1 Janet song.

It's really good, but not as good as the other Janet songs mentioned... "Again" would scrape my top 20 by her...

Plus, "Again" hit #1 UK Airplay.
