  1. Erm. Jimmy said BurnItUp was the last song to be recorded, as Janet wanted a dance track on the album, and then he went on about how Missy got involved. A year later he said Dammn Baby was the last song to be recorded... It's like they can't even remember what they've said lol.
  2. I'm not sure what everyone is so pissed off about. Janet ain't no media whore, she doesn't use every single chance to promote herself the minute something happens. I found the video extremely touching, and it's even cooler that she posted a video a fan of hers made. As for not saying anything about Prince... It's her business. Not ours
  3. LMAO @ that Matthew comment. She dated Rene and JD. Do either one of them seem appealing to you? She doesn't have a type, she dates people regardless of how they might appear on the outside. Hell, she probably did Eddie Murphy in that fat costume. Lol. JK!!!
  4. You guys still on about this? Give it a rest already. None of us know shit about her life, nor does she want us to. That's why we've got Jimmy talking about the same shit about her being shy and how the 80's recording sessions went, cause there really is nothing new to say. She doesn't want to share, but the media is so hungry for anything at all, they interview and quote Jimmy's same old stories we've heard since the 90's.
  5. Who the hell cares? I'm pretty sure Janet has had sex with a bunch of people, like most of us human beings do. Some you are proud of, some not so much... She dated Matthew McConaughey and Justin Timberlake too. You think she never had sex with either of them? Why do you think she did that duet with JT on his album and got him on stage at the Superbowl? It's not like Justin was at the peak of his career, he was in-between albums and wasn't promoting anything right at that time. Why do you think it was such a huge drama between the two? Why do you think Justin is still sore about it? The two were obviously dating.
  6. The only filler on janet. album is The Body That Loves You. I think it is a solid album that flows perfectly. It remaina her best-selling album ever, for a good reason. The Velvet Rope got a lukewarm response at first, but the tour saved the album as it was so heavily themed around the album. Not to say I dont love TVR.
  7. I gotta have to admit not any of the albums after TVR grew on me. AFY had DRM, SOAG and YAR, Damita Jo had JALW, 20yo had ENJOY and Discpline had Feedback. None of those albums grew on me. Yet I still know all of them by heart. Unbreakable was an instant winner for me but now I barely listen to it at all. Dammn Baby & Well traveled are songs I play a few times a week.
  8. I love how everyone's pretending they know all about what Janet is doing, why and whether or not she is being "controlled" by her man. Obviously she is a muslim now and that comes with a great set of rules, esp if you are a woman. And obviously she is living by those rules. That doesn't mean she has no will of her own. She made her choice, and loves her life as it is. Of course Jimmy wants to record more albums with her, and who knows what he wanted to do with Unbreakable. But they are not as tight as some of you think. He didn't know Janet was pregnant, either. That should tell you something. As many have said before, I also believe Unbreakable was a favor she did for Jimmy and the fans. Everyone went on about how much we want new music and how badly we miss her. Well, we got her back for a while and it might've not been what we expected and there werea lot of surprises along the way. But we got her, and where she is in her life right now. Some of you don't like it, but it's best to accept instead of get worked up on something you cannot affect in any way.
  9. Goddamit, now I've got that stupid ass Rollercoaster song stuck in my head thanks to you guys talking about Discipline...
  10. 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.
  11. Yeah I don't see any of them being broke. Even D-list celebs make a shitload of money by just promoting some products, or writing books. That doesn't mean some of them aren't jealous of Michael's and Janet's wealth. And some of them are greedy and wish they had the same level of success. The fall of Jackson Empire begun with Michael's Invincible, and when Janet started not selling much and losing global interest it was pretty much a done deal. What any of the Jacksons might have been is no longer. That doesnt mean we can't enjoy the music, tho.
  12. Dammn Baby, The Great Forever, 2 B Loved, Take Me Away, Black Eagle (tho not so keen on her pro-Palestine views). Well Traveled is nice, too.
  13. I honestly do not get why she isn't "hungry" anymore. Other stars her age still are and still want to be on top. I get that she's been there, done that but there is still a lot she could do and be. After The Velvet Rope she became this sex symbol and an icon globally (altho janet. was a huge hit that really made people notice her) but from AFY onwards you could see the musical decline. Just when you thought Janet was the queen of the world (musically speaking), things went down. I guess Super Bowl played a major part on it, I mean she was always considered to be the only "sane" Jackson, and after SB she became a joke. She tried many things, even gave her career to La Reid's hands but it didn't work. The MJ died and she disappeared. I guess she went from being the sensual, sexual icon to a topic of jokes and she wasn't used to that and had no idea how to handle it. Looking back at Madonna's career and how much backlash she has had in the past, I think J could take a few pointers. I don't want her to become a pathetic granny trying to be cool, like M does but how Madonna handles and manipulates the press is something J could learn from. Also, it's becoming painfully obvious that the men in her life have a lot of control over what she does. Fans used to get upset when people said her musical style went downhill after Rene left. But look at what JD did to her career. And now look at her being covered up, and not having any male dancers on stage. Singing about Palestine, being all spiritual and using islamic symbols in her work. I wonder what her career would be like if she just stayed single. I am happy for her though, just curious.
