Yes. The quality was 9284738x better 

You can’t assume the direction of the album

I said "I imagine," not "I assume."  I'm hoping that's what's happening, and I think it's a fair guess, going by how she's been acting / speaking lately.

I never watched this show but the first clip was everything!!! I wonder who won between those 2. The bottom clip was a damn mess cause idk wtf the butterfly dress bitch was doing but it sucked bad. It's clear she lost  

LMAO funny you should say that because RuPaul kept both of the girls who did If (which was a twist), but Aquaria (the skinny one) won in the end. You got Nasty right, Asia went home while Kameron stayed for the final round.

is there a clip somewhere?

Has nobody talked about how Janet has been referenced multiple times in Pose too?!

Giving them too much? They literally birth Janet Jackson and carried her career through the late 80s, 90s, and the new millennia.

None of the producers she worked with out side of the Legendary Duo has given Janet more. Not Darkchild, not JD, certainly not Ne-Yo who gave her MJ’s trash (focusing on 2008-2010). SloLove is another prime example. (It’s no one’s favorite) 

Unbreakable is rated HIGHER by critics for a reason. That reason being Jimmy Jam & Terry. Lewis

I mean, it's also rated higher than the last 3 albums they were heavily involved in, due to Janet actually giving a hoot and writing about things beyond her worldview. Which, I imagine, which will be the case for the new music, regardless of who's producing it.

Y’all give them a bit too much tbh. Janet’s clearly in a creative space now. Her lack of inspiration was the MAIN problem before. I’m not one of those to believe she can’t make anything good without JJ/TL. Some of those Unbreakable songs gave early 2000’s production wise.

I agree, Unbreakable had some patchy moments with the production. I think that if Janet is inspired and writing, she can make great music with anyone. The only person we've REALLY seen her write with besides JJ/TL was Jermaine Dupri, whose beats are bargain bin tin. I'm excited to hear how she does with a better producer!

Exactly, she went back with JJ/TT and came back with No Sleeep, which is a solid song, but not s strong LEAD single.

She has the most chemistry with them, but Harmony also has a solid production discogaphy as well lol, let's see what it sounds like before we hate it already.

No Sleeep was the perfect lead and a very intentional choice. If she had tried to get a radio hit with DB or BIU as the lead, the era would've been DOA. At her age, the smart move is to get UAC/HAC radio on board for that adult exposure and potential album sales. No Sleeep did its job and sold the album.

These queens lipsynching to Janet on the season finale of drag race. They all got me like . Aquaria the only one I’m fucking with so far this episode. 

Aquaria LITERALLY learned the If chroeo. She was sloppy, but she still destroyed it compared to everyone else attempting to do Janet onstage.

Discipline was and remains garbage with about 5 redeemable songs. The only forward-thinking songs on it are Feedback and RWU. The article saying it's "the album she needed to release," lmao, as if there was some artistic impetus for it when it was clearly just thrown out there to fulfill obligations and attempt a weak chart return.

And RWU would never have been a pop hit because 1) it's 100% whispered, 2) it lacks a catchy hook, and 3) it has one verse repeated. It's a dance hit and that's that. Not every EDM song becomes a smash in Europe, for that you need a real chorus.

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

Control is clearly her best cover. Iconic, memorable, aesthetically pleasing. It captures an era.

janet. is arguably more iconic, but less visually appealing.

TVR is the most appealing artistically but not nearly as iconic.

Discipline is the one I turn down the brightness on my phone for.

I find it hard to believe tbh. I remember when an interviewer asked Janet about Britney and the other girls having kids, and she said having them in your career kinda slows you down. And Janet has said that there's so much more she wants to do, and in 2008 she said she'll probably never retire. So add 2 and 2, and the story is kinda hard to believe, and it leads me to believe that Janet doesn't want kids.

But if Janet does have chirrens, okay....

What do you expect that she would say, that she really wants kids or that kids don't interfere with a famous woman's life/career? That doesn't prove anything--she's either being honest or she's really good at creating justifications and covering it up, because she's good at covering up everything in her life. We all STILL had no idea she married Wissam in this age of leaked/exposed/publicized everything. Janet knows exactly what she's doing.

Not saying she has kids because we all have no effing clue. It wouldn't shock me, but completely hiding her children from the world for however long seems extreme even for her standards; MJ didn't go that far (although she's smarter than him tbh, and it's easier for her to avoid the media because she's never been so insanely famous and utterly followed).

I want Janet to work

This is the best we can hope for at this point

Ugh I need an avatar.

I think she's over the general public....she's probably going to make music catered to her fan base for the most part.

I honestly don't believe Humphries. He seems like an ass and it's unfair that people only blame Kim for their five-second marriage.

He will go gold easily, probably way before that Madonna chick.

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch.

An extra 4k? She'll take that.

I can tell him a bottom

ikr?

And I'm not usually into super-masc types but Joe is about 500% the hottest one in this movie. Bomer's face is just bland, Matt is hot but getting old and Channing looks like a recovering addict (although I appreciate that he's bi).

I'm, Spinning Around, move outta my way

Your poor grandfather At least Sheryl will be okay, but she's been through enough.

Aw, I'm so glad they kept talking about how hot she is.

I'm so annoyed by Madonna's antics lately. She's getting desperate.

Go on, girl!

Miss Janet.

Last week I couldn't figure out what bothered me about this song. Now I've realized that the lyrical delivery is just like All the Lovers. It's kind of annoying and very lazy; makes the song iffy for me. The video is absolutely perfect, though.

Harry's voice is just...

How dare everyone ignore ATAP
