Or sing live 

She can honestly cut the ballad section. She doesn’t put much effort into the vocal performance of those anymore

I wonder how much talking he's doing now.

he's so cute

They show love just because. More realistically it would go to HER but she unfortunately probably won’t show. 

Right

But that interview doesn’t confirm anything so this thread is pointless

I don't see how anybody can argue against Jimmy and Terry being heavily involved in this new project ...y'all up here acting like Unbreakable wasn't her best album since 'All For You'...like JJ/TL are not a vital part of us stanning for the Queens timeless music...chile...

 

They should be, but not majority is all I’m saying

You could argue the the production was better than Unbreakable

 

It’s not up for debate.

but they’re two different types of albums. UB’s biggest strength is it’s lyrical content and diversity. Caution, production.

I used the album as an example of mixing the modern with signature traits. That’s it.

Caution is a really good album guys, don't. Unbreakable is better only because it has more bops, but it also has lower lows (because Caution only has 10 songs lol).

Right. If it had more songs then, yeah...

I think the point is a producer being current or hot is irrelevant...it will either work (as it clearly does with JJ/TL) or not. Darkchild is one of the few times she stepped out and it worked so why anyone should be so against it I dunno. Its really subjective to be honest and this tired ass topic has been done to death

They can have all the chemistry in the world and still use old beats

One of the first comments was "Darkchild is late"...I don't know what your interpretation of that is but I know what mine is.

He’s late meaning he hasn’t had anything good in years. Ciara’s “Dose” sounds like something from 2006. 

*edit* it doesn’t matter

‘8th Grade’ alone is better than anything on Unbreakable. But I wouldn’t say it’s better than Unbreakable overall

Edit. This is a reach (because Night/No Sleeep), but still.

What does that mean???? The album came and went and flopped, but still

‘8th Grade’ alone is better than anything on Unbreakable. But I wouldn’t say it’s better than Unbreakable overall

I wouldn't be mad if he produced 1 or 2 songs on the new album, espescially if it was tailored toward a specif theme she had for this album with Jimmy and Terry. I still enjoy Feedback, Make Me, and this . . .https://youtu.be/YZDssn2lnyk

 

 this is what I mean. No offense but YIKES

exactly! Ain't nobody worried about him? When's the last time he produced something hot cause I ain't heard it  She needs to work with Calvin Harris and/or David Guetta and pump out a few hot dance tracks

Ew @ David Guetta. 

But there’s A LOT of talent out there. Idc how any of you feel about Mariah Carey or ‘Caution’ but she managed to sound like classic Mariah but sound current. Lyric and content-wise Janet has it because she’s writing, but production-wise there’s significant room for improvement...but a lot fans seem to think that working with anyone besides JJ/TL is desperate and microwave music. It just shows their taste and how much they actually know about what’s out there. The point, for me, is that janet doesn’t even have to pander to the commercial side...I just want an updated sound. 

Darkchild is late now. Hope this isn’t true.

Dream Street

No one really wanted an EP anyway. I think I can speak on behalf of all the fans when I say that we prefer Janet taking like 6 months more to release an entire album instead of just 6-7 songs.

I was cool with an EP

It's so interesting seeing Janet learn a routine in her early career. She did make mistakes here which immediately stuck out to me because I'm so used to Janet always being perfect. Looking at this, it's amazing how much progress she had made in terms of choreography, confidence and overall dance ability by Rhythm Nation, just 3 years later.

Same

Lol could’ve sworn this was a discussion board, discussing opposing views and things. And this is why I say a couple of you are hypocritical.

I saw Janet mess up numerous times and having to be corrected by Paula. Janet started off with the wrong hand which is why she apologized and Paula said “it’s okay.” At 0:10 she wasn’t supposed to put both hands on her head, one was supposed to be on her hip, which is why Janet said “oh shoot.” At 0:30 Paula has to correct Janet by saying “audience,” meaning look at the audience when you dance. She was looking down while dancing which is one of the biggest no-nos in dance. At 0:42 Janet’s legs were too spread apart. The weight is supposed to be evenly distributed on both legs. That’s easily 4 mistakes Janet made in this one sequence. And when you look at the finished product you see how Janet listened to Paula’s advisement. Janet’s was literally 19 here. The arrogance to suggest she danced better than someone older and had been professionally trained for 20 years at that point.
