He’s playing extra nice because he’s involved in some problematic shit. Nah. Fuck him. I don’t doubt that he’d be respectful to Janet but I still don’t and hve never like him. He will always be the Donkey of the Day to me. 

I agree. The whole rape situation that's come out lately has him acting more reserved.

well damn son you make it sound like she fucked already in yo book

I enjoyed her last album, but her attitude and personality irritates me. 

I was a huge fan during her debut era and with each album, I've gotten less interested in her. 

But...I can hopefully be objective and judge the music for what it is.

I've been turned off by Nicki for a minute. I'm not going to watch any of her performances or interviews, I'll just give the album a listen and make my judgement.

What I Love
- It's catchy and makes me want to dance!
- The production is Afrobeat/Afropop, the direction Soca music has gone in the last few years. I can hear this at Carnival and in zumba class!
- The video reminds me of Together Again, but happier and more modern. Love the choreography and outfits.
- I love how fast the video is and the amount of visuals/costume changes. 
- Her vocals are just fine. I like how the song is constructed, though it does seem to end quickly. 
- Daddy Yankee looks SEXY!


What I Dislike
- I shouldn't have read the comments of fans opinions on the song/video before seeing/hearing it for myself, it definitely put me in a bad mood. I almost expected disappointment.

I'm going to this one..haven't travelled to receive a blessing in a minute.

Come through pilgrimage! The JanFam will be in the Premium VIP section.

So glad I got to meet ha after the Miami show. Looking forward to the rest of this year, will be fun and exciting!

Ready for this. I love Zaddy Yankee!

I will definitely be there. This is a great festival and I had so much fun in 2016.

It's an unfortunate situation all around. I'm always bothered when these private matters go public, because folks (especially online) can be cruel conspiracy theorists and people's opinions don't often contribute any good to a situation.

So I just always want what's best for Janet and Eissa and the people around them. 

I don't like discussing personal details on Janet's life. But I hope she and everyone are fine. I know she will be. <3

It's disappointing that we have to refer to someone's culture, religion, or ethnicity being a factor in their behavior. 

It's an unfair generalization and ignorance. No matter where someone is from, abuse is never OK and it happens in EVERY culture. Not one more than the other.

Unbreakable lacked edge? 

It was classic Janet.. you couldn’t get more classic than Unbreakable

What kind of edge did you want? 

You are right. I love Unbreakable because it pretty much touches back on different albums throughout her career while still covering new ground. 

No Sleeep reminds me of The Velvet Rope.

2 B Loved reminds me of 20 Y.O.

Take Me Away reminds me of All For You.

Night reminds me of janet.

But the overall feel is current, wise, grown, and sexy.

can we get some Rocknet?  I'm just saying she slays in that area sending up prayers she at least has some tracks in  development with that "Trust A Try" thinking

Yessss! What I enjoy most is how much they use the guitar during the live arrangements. I prefer much of her songs live than in the studio.

I love when she looks into the camera. She barely acknowledges paps. She be like "Bye!" 

Together Again and All Nite at a strip club.

Jenna Dewan speaks about dancing for Janet and that she gave all of her dancers vibrators while on tour!

It felt like a big party!!!! Like a celebration. I just wish it was longer.

Let Cici be great! Matter of fact, I'd love if it were J Lo and Ciara. Let multiple Janet children present!

WOW....this morning feels like....

 

BIG UPS to someone yearrrrs ago, I don't even remember what forum or where on social media, but someone  said that Janet  covered Pillow Talk and it was intended for the janet. album....and then this interview...I need that song to leak RIGHT.THIS.MINUTE!!! Because for those of you that don't know it (I grew up on it and always thought it was JANET A.F. and that Janet should cover it). I'd love to hear what Jimmy & Terry did to update it, and Janet's voice is better than Sylvia's. So that in mind with Janet's "Why did I leave that off the album?" lets me know there's slayage afoot in that. I hear that she's REALLY picky about covers that she choose to cover & that she choose to release...gives hope to the rumor I heard that she did cover Love Hangover.

I love that no matter when she's doing a pre-release interview with she's always vague about how far she is in the process, as a fan it both makes me anxious & excited, but keeps me from expecting anything within the next couple of weeks/months (I remember she was like this right before Feedback dropped in 07). But we know too that her process with writing & recording is all inclusive and can be REAL last minute too, so we don't know how much is done & how much more there is to do....all we know is mama comin back with a new chapter for sure!

I'm dying to hear her cover of Pillow Talk.

Yesterday was my first time hearing the song and within the first 30 seconds, it felt like a Janet song.

It almost gave me the same feeling of The Beat Of Black Wings and Tonight's The Night.

You know it's a cover, but the team somehow made it feel like a Janet original. 

It honors the song, but she can still make it her own.

Just now, wayneashleymusic said:

So does anyone have receipts?  Is this her first official press interview since 2012?  2013?  I'm trying to remember the last one.  

2013 with Billboard.

I'm leaving work today. I cannot stop yelling or focus. I'm literally singing YASSSSS and shaking and tearing up! 

WHAT IS ALL THIS SLAYAGE LATELY?????!!!!!

Things happen. Janet was only one of the headliners of the festival. And it had issues prior to her announcement.
