Trash? Maybe in your opinion, but she still managed to go platinum in 2004, and in 2006, and hit a top 20 in 2008

 

compared to her nontrash music in 2015+

 

 

Lmfao y’all wild 

DJ went platinum bc of the Super Bowl exposure. Huge first week sales! Then what? 20 YO.. idk how it “shipped” platinum. Lost the #1 spot to some hasbeen rapper 

Disappointment doesn’t matter. Claiming a Top 20 hit was pretty sad in 2008 and even more pathetic in 2019

Its a tough one, because not everyone is relationship material or ready or compatible. I tend to believe most everyone doesn't want to be alone, but a lot of these guys aint trying to be booed up either.

Can’t be alone if your sperm is in their hair

ima stop you there, dates?  what are those?  

A date is where you buy men food and drinks and fuck them later that night and never talk to them again

When all else fails blame Janet, the victim, of racism and sexism.... yeah 

Her music was trash between 2004-2014 compared to 1986-2001 & 2015 sooo

Uhm... How exactly was she on a decline? All For You gave her two (!) #1 hits and a #3 hit on the Hot 100 in her mid-30s! The success of All For You was probably why Damita Jo was predicted to be a success as well. Then the Viacom-boycott started (also in large parts of Europe!) and everything changed.

Album sales. Each album sold less than the previous 

Janet was on a decline to begin with. I would have never assumed, between 2002-2004.. pre-blacklist, that her next album was going to sell more copies than her previous and greatest album of the 2000s

Honestly, I’m a relationship guy. All my friends have even said it but got the past almost 8 years I’ve been out, it’s just been meaningless sex after meaningless sex. Call me a hopeless romantic but my heart desperately wants more.

Then go out and get more. Stop chasing heterosexual men.. open your horizon.. go on dates and not fuck dates.

I've only had bareback 4 times in my whole life.  Two times was with someone I loved. Another out of being wreckless. The 4th time I was drunk and he took advantage and slid the condom off me. I was so glad I was on prep the next morning. Could of been life changing. Smh

I’ve barebacked many times.. Zero people have burned me so I guess I gotten lucky. I’m on PrEP now and I’ve only done it once since and that sexy mutha fucker is on PrEP

DJ was already expected to outsell A4U, b4 the super bowl 

Yeah.. never

If she wasnt as successful as the previous decade that is called a DECLINE no matter how you wanna slice, cut, shape or bake the pie. In that kind of industry you are only as good as your last project. Period. She was steady but she had lost her step once the 90s hit and thats why Mariah and Janet was ale to be the two most successful artist of the 90s

Erotic was a flop.. but she outsold that with Bedtime Stories and then outsold both with the next album (1998)... I would say that’s steady and not a decline

Again, Janet was doing really well outside the US and nobody cared about her boob but Americans. JALW received more airplay than AFY. You could not miss it. Every station played once an hour, at least. Once it was deemed a flop in the states the bandwagon effect happened and radio didn't play much of the other singles, tho All Nite was a minor dance hit in Europe as well. The media might've had a field day on her situation but she was making a shitload of money at that point. 

As Janet herself said, it was the music. Jimmy said he thinks she should've not been making new music when she had nothing new going on in her life. Members here calling naysayers delusional are calling Janet delusional.... I personally like a few songs on the album, but my own opinion has nothing to do with this. DJ did much better than expected, especially overseas. 20 YO is when it truly was the music to blame. 

Bc of the Super Bowl

I agree with the rest

Ummm.. I was saying #1s always mean something as in, bragging rights in the industry....i had already said being #1 is not ONLY thing to measure success by. So what was your Adele music history lesson for? 

And Duh, we know she had a few hits and multiplat albums but she was a stronger force in the 80s. She sold more albums then. You said she was at her peak in the 90s...no, she was on the decline. Janet and Mariah were at their peak in the 90s.

I wouldn’t say decline. She had a steady successful career in the 90s

Meh, he was in the closet n was feeling me but I couldn’t get close to him cause he was my boss’ boss. But damn, did I imagine hittin’ it....A LOT!!!

 Then the muthaf$&@ fires me out of no where for the dumbest reason possible.  Anyway, I’m over it! Besides, guys like that are stuck in a miserable relationship where their girlfriend thinks he’s pathetic and emasculates him hard after awful sex....yup, I’m fine!

This is a lot to process.

80s was Madonna's peak. She was struggling in the 90s and #1s ALWAYS meant something no matter what decade of music. Still means "something" today. Its just not the only way to determine what a successful project is. 

Adele ‘19’ peaked at #4 on Billboard.. Was that a flop? It sold 8m copies worldwide; 3M in the US 

Madonna had quite a few hits in the 90s. Multi platinum albums as well. Soooo

It deserved better. Much better. And we both know sales would've been much bigger and the singles would've done much better. Radio and TV airplay is everything.

It got what it got.. I don’t care about sales

Hugest thing? Because of Damita Jo? No.

I'm often astonished at the effortlessness of your obtuseness. It's almost shocking. Game, how do you think epidemics arise? They  have to start SOMEWHERE. That's what you're not understanding, or willfully ignoring for the sake of standing firm in your position, despite it having the strength of an octogenarian with muscular dystrophy. If you want to deal with facts, as you state, the product on website even states kidney failure is a KNOWN side effect. It causes 05.% in cases by your own admission, which means it happens.

Your parallel argument of fast food is weak and didn't help your argument whatsoever. Side effects should be a concern for anyone taking a drug powerful enough to stop the spread of a three decade long medical crisis. We aren't talking about taking Tylenol PM here. Stop this tomfoolery sir.

 

You’re paranoia is showing. PrEP isn’t an epidemic This is one of the first steps to eradicating HIV & AIDS. Conspiracy theories are for the loons and idiots. PrEP has helped nearly 400k people globally and you’re worried about what exactly? Oh 50 American’s kidneys

Why are you emphasizing “powerful”? Like it has killed people and not saved potentially 200k people’s lives.  I don’t understand you logic here. You don’t want an epidemic, like the AIDS epidemic that you’re probably too young to remember when the president ignored it and focused on the war on drugs, but you want to cancel PrEP? Should we cancel chemo too? Should we just stop vaccinations? Where does it end? Birth control? It’s not necessary and it causes minor & major side effects or is that just big pharma’s way to control on women? 

As someone from DC, where youths are contradicting HIV twice the normal rate of every other city in American, you’re way too against it

Great albums don't always equal success. I'm not saying Damita Jo is her best album, it's just that Damita Jo and its era would've been much bigger if Jan wasn't blacklisted. It doesn't matter how you feel about the songs. The reviews were really good. 

Correct. Unbreakable is the only Janet album that that applies to

Damita Jo sold what it should have sold. It’s not her best or worst (Discipline or Dreamstreet are her worst) but Damita Jo & 20 are not better than anything from 1986-2001 & 2015

His bail was denied!!!!!!

I really have to disagree with you this time around. 

 

The reason some fans dislike the Damita Jo, 20 Y.O. and Discipline era is NOT because the records were "bad" 

 

I’m not here for what-if scenarios. 

That’s exactly why actually, for me. Damita Jo was subpar bc Janet decided to work with people who she doesn’t work well with. 20 was bad bc of JD... Discipline was shit bc Janet decided to be lazy and not work with Jimmy/Terry. Not to mention the oversexual themes and promo (unnecessary at that point of her career) 

Your theory is wrong due to Unbreakable being her best album since 2001 and it had zero hits and minimal radio spins (as if that mattered)

Take a walk on the wild side Normy.

Last night I got off to a vid of a guy pissing on another guy, licking up the piss off the floor and the guys feet and then sucking his dick. It was hotttt. 

I can do without the floor licking and feet.. I don’t mind watching water sports as long as the “top” is vocal about it

And this is why they label the drug at 99.9% effect, because there is still a margin for error. Which is important way for big pharm to absolve themselves of liability regarding the side effects of their product(s). These mesothelioma and asbestos cases aren't arising just for the sake of continuing the legal system. 

Kidney failure is a known side effect of the drug, and it clearly can cause problems. And the makers of the drug are aware of that, and probably more that they aren't publicizing. That's why it's important to know what you're putting in your body. You may be preventing the spread and contraction of HIV, but you also don't know the long and/or short term effects of the drug. 

  

Yep, I hear you have to take it every-single-day. And if you just so happen to miss a dose, you have to return to the doctor or something like that.  

The common number I’ve seen is 92 or 99%. I have not seen 99.9%. There’s a margin of error for every medication & contraceptives like birth control and condoms (neither possess a 99.9% success rate). Big pharma are not using success rates to offset side effects. Every medication has side effects but in this argument... you either contract HIV or temporary nausea and a .05% chance of kidney issues which your doctor checks for... which one do you choose? 

.05% of users experience kidney issues. We’re not going off what you think (bc it is mostly bullshit). I’m only here for stone Cold facts. 

You should stop pretending you’re worried about kidney issues or “what goes into my body” BS. It’s not cute as you chew on Burger King’s tacos and Chipotle while downing a bottle of Jack Daniels.

This drug has been researched for years. It is not new on the market as it was introduced in 2004. 

If you miss a dose, you just continue taking it as prescribed and not double dosing. The only reason you would need to consult a doctor is if you’re having severe reactions   I worry that you’re getting your information from stupid people

why wouldn't the singles be succesful? All her 1986-2001 albums had big hits, so why not the Damita Jo album? The songs totally fit in the 2004 sound so radio and TV would've definitely played it. 

Because the singles from DJ are trash... JALW, IWY, AN(ds)... 🗑

The era you described didn’t have too many cooks and created the classic Janet sound... DJ went outside that scope and not in a good way
