  1. I reported you for mis-racing me. In any event: 1st Tier: RN1814, TVR, Control 2nd Tier: janet., UB, AFY 3rd: Discipline > DJ 4th Tier: 20YO, JJ 5th Tier: DS.
  2. I knew I should've wrapped that in quotes.
  3. It wasn't that funny that it needed two posts. Yep. I just know it's big. Same with Quavo. Big with a pink head.
  4. It's like a California wildfire - it's there, and we see it, but there's no way to contain it. The things I would let that man do to my body.
  5. You seen it there? You almost got slapped. I'll have Rafi and them do it since you don't know how to act.
  6. Brandy is who Janet should collaborate with. Harmony heaven.
  7. She really performed on a cruise ship. She's clearly just doing stuff just for the sake of doing it.
  8. I have this. Bought it at a record shop years ago. Edit: why this and not the RN vinyl?
  9. Normani on Janet. What performances, albums and/or singers have had the biggest impact on you and your career? Janet Jackson. I will always remember what impact the Scream music video has on me. I remember walking around with a key for an earring thinking that I was Janet. Janet has paved the way for artists like me. She’s just one of the greats in my book because my list would be entirely too long. https://www.ebony.com/exclusive/normani-talks-mcdonalds-idolizing-janet-jackson-her-lifes-mission/
  10. Janet didn't write anything on Disc, she let Terry write DJ. Basically the same thing if you ask me. 20YO doesn't "feel" like a Janet album cuz it's soooo try hard. Janet's R&B is generally blended with dance, not hip-hop. I'd like to think there's a reason why SE is the only song that she's given a live performance as of late. I can't remember the last time she did COM. The concept of Disc is simply that - discipline. Being disciplined in embarking in love (Luv, WUN, SMB), sexual gratification (title track).
  11. I think the first four pretty much speak for themselves. The j., UB, AFY is the only section where things get debatable. "janet." isn't too much better than AFY, and UB is better than AFY. By inference, UB is right on the heels of janet. AFY probably has more standout tracks than j. and UB, but they work better as albums, whereas AFY is more like a great collection of songs. "janet." is not that strong without its singles. AFY and UB are, i.e., TAT, Truth, BE, AYF, and Night. The biggest, and most obvious qualm about j. is the length. It starts to drag in the middle (TT - BOL). The only songs that save the album post If are WAYN and ATAP. But overall, the concept and direction of the album are clear, same with UB. The songs are a little better too. So that's why it's above UB, but not by much, with AFY not far behind UB. Disc is definitely better than DJ and 20YO. Ya'll really give DJ too much. It's a watered down janet., lbr. She whispered her way through the album, didn't even write the songs, and the concept isn't developed much. DJ is full of good to mediocre tracks, no real great tracks imo. 20YO is just Janet trying too hard to adapt to that R&B/Hip-Hop blend trend that was going on during that time. DB, Enjoy, and TC are really the only tracks that "feel" like a "Janet song". Listening to it, it doesn't feel like there was a direction or idea for the album. What both albums have in common is that none of the songs have any real replay value, or the tracks don't really stick out for lack of a better phrase. Whereas with Disc, the album punches for the first couple of tracks just like previous albums before coasting into the slow jams, and then finishing with the mid-tempo tracks (TVR & AFY namely). FB - 2Nite is a much stronger opening set of tracks than DJ and 20YO. The only "eh" tracks are the awful GX and NLG. The concept of discipline is more pronounced throughout the album.
  12. Certainly you don't think DJ, 20YO, JJ, or DS are better.
  13. The ranking in the OP is incorrect. It should read as such: RN1814 TVR Control janet. UB AFY Discipline DJ 20YO JJ DS RN1814 is her best album. IDK why so many of you try to argue this. The only real clusterfuck is j., UB, and AFY. It's debatable. "janet." isn't too much better than AFY, and UB is definitely better than AFY.
  14. It's late, but I'll definitely be back to complain and further assert my opinion as fact, which it is.
