Kaleidoscope Eyes Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Two strong title tracks and album openers. DJ is great but UB has so much soul, plus Janet is sangin' her ass off in the final chorus (&&&& those harmonies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyricalLesson Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 As much as I LOVE "Unbreakable" (it's one of my favorite tracks on the album, and one of Janet's best vocal deliveries of the past decade), I'm going to have to roll with "Damita Jo"...It's the perfect introduction to its parent album. The chorus is FIRE, the beat is an infectious head nodding banger, the concept -- a self description of herself and her alter egos -- is crazy unique, and the lyrics are sharp and self-assured, delivered with a subtle confidence and poise. That last line in the second verse just seals the deal for me: "...a little lady, a whole lot of class / but do me wrong, I'll get in dat ass" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibeology Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I love the DJ song, but there is no comparison imo.UB wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStormSC Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Unbreakable. I enjoy DJ and can still bump to it, but everything about UB is so much more beautiful and meaningful to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSimba Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ooh this is a tough one, I love both! I'm leaning UB though, at least at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 #Refusetochoose.......right now anyway It's WAY too hard, both are so different and service 2 very different needs, BUT what's awesome is they have this classic yet modern R&B groove feels to them, this might take a day or 2 of serious thought, like I even play the top of the head "1st 1 you think of" and it's not working lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCat77 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Both are among my favorites from their respective albums. Her vocals and beats on both are great too. I wish they were somewhat longer though 2:40 minutes or whatever of music is short when it comes to Janet music. I'll be cheesy and say tie lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias73 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was actually listening to both of these recently and they are both strong openers. However, when i first heard "Unbreakable," the song reminded me of how strong Janet can be vocally-such a great vocal performance from her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJATL Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Unbreakable by a country mile. I actually skipped over DJ most of the time. Unbreakable is inspiring and has gorgeous layered harmonies and a powerful Janet vocal lead. Well written and wonderfully performed. Just too SHORT!

elaw06 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I loved DJ, but it wasn't the type of song that I could replay over and over again; whereas, Unbreakable has stayed on repeat at various times. I have a thing for powerful and positive Janet songs, and this one I really adore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VB Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've never liked the song Damita Jo. The lyrics are super childish and lack creativity. Just my opinion. Unbreakable is nice, but it could've been a B-side to janet. album. The lyrics are good on Unbreakable tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laveaux Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 DJ is one of the better songs on that album, its fun, soulful and melodic...UB (the song) is boring until the end when you hear her beautiful voice...DJ wins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
