Kaleidoscope Eyes Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Would you be here for it? 10-12 tracks of straight up ballads laced with the queen’s PLUSH harmonies. I would die happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 No. Most fans diss her ballads, all ballads since 2004 (Truly, After You Fall) Mid-tempo & Dance tracks are what Janet should stick with, adding that one or two ballad per album.

Utopia Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Nope. It would be like memoirs of an imperfect angel, an uneventful album with 2 or 3 stand out tracks. She'd have to dip into a more soulful sound and make it very personal for it to work. Something like Bitter by meshell ndegeocello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJATL Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I would pretend it didn’t exist. Kind of like 20 Y.O. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I would be open to it if it is something that she wanted to do. Where Are You Now is still one of my favourites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreelovesJJ Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I just feel Janet hasn't had a solid ballad in many years. No Sleeep was cool, but her ballads and midtempos haven't been great since maybe AFY. Roll Witchu is classic though. (Mid tempo) I'd want her to have something along the sounds of KING, HER, Sevyn (Before I Do), Syd (Let me Know) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibeology Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ballads can be creative sound wise. I would be up for hearing it but its not necessary. LL is one of my favs on the album, her best since Truth, not that it has had much competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illi Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Y'all will not pay Take Care dust at all. I can understand Discipline leaving a bad taste with the ballads, but otherwise it was pretty hit or miss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do forget about it and I also love Love 2 Love, I love Truly and then some others pop up in mind but overall they've been more hit or miss. The midtempos are also doing ok but I know what it could be. So part of it is just my thoughts on where I know she could go & how dope that would be IMO. 6 hours ago, GTIG said: what about After You Fall ? Honestly lyrically it's the most honest and real. But vocally & musically it doesn't give me what I need. It's a bit of a snooze fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleidoscope Eyes Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Can’t Be Good, Lessons Learned, Take Care, Promise of You rival some of her ballads on TVR and AFY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreelovesJJ Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Oh actually let me take some of it back - I REALLY like Lessons Learned & Promise of You but she has not had a strong R&B ballad ie - IGL, FHTF, even IWY since 2004 ish. Strong R&B. Ive never been a big fan of Can't Be Good. It's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibeology Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Since when was Cant Be Good a ballad? Surely that's midtempo I like Love2Love too, but again, always forget about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStormSC Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If it were a best of/b-sides sort of thing with a few added tracks. I love a lot of her slow songs, but I wouldn't want a whole new album of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
