I went to '90s night at a club on Friday with some girls, and the highlight of my night was that they played "Together Again." I danced to it--even tried to do some of the choreo --and sang/lipped every word. A few other people next to me knew it, too, which was fun.

Also, at my school there are TVs in the dining hall, and they're just there for people to text in music videos that they want to play. They have a handful of Janet videos in the options list and so I put on Rock With U, Feedback and Rhythm Nation (random selection that I thought would get the most kids to watch). Bliss.

"Element of Freedom" was snubbed at the grammy's with some of her finest music to date. Bey won't get that treatment.

I guess Bey will take the R&B categories, but she ain't getting the general awards. Those belong to Adele.

Really fantastic.

At the beginning of the BTW era I thought she was losing her voice from promoting/touring so much. Lately, she's really improved. The end kind of slayed me. You can't say this bitch isn't passionate. I don't always love her, but she almost always makes me smile with her performances.

And death @ 2:28.

Very impressive album sales for no hits. This is her 'Element of Freedom,' in a way.

I missed One More Chance

Good for her. It's a decent song + a great video.

Give me all your love and give me your love

Give me all your love today

Give me all your love and give me your love

Let’s forget about time

And dance our lives away

So generic, so COADF/HC/Celebration.

Yeah, Britney has gotten really basic. She can't sell albums anymore.

Adele passed 11 million worldwide last week

Flawless boobs on W.E. carpet.

She has several. But I'm not about to waste my time posting them only for you to reply with the "mellow" or "umm" smiley.

• ....Short but poignant, the interludes, ranging from five to thirty seconds long, operate as segues between songs, tying them together and reinforcing the message of the album. Inclusively, Rhythm Nation 1814 reflects the social and political climate of American life. Even today, the issues presented in Jackson's landmark work continue to make headlines. [Maybe another sentence or two to close it out? ]

Basically, here, I just want to close out the second paragraph with how the issues she talked about in the album are still very much so relevant today. That'll answer their question of how RN1814 reflects American life. It just needs better wording.

I'm wondering why you chose the word "inclusively" there. What are you referring to with that term?

Both. Kinda how Will did his edit a couple of posts up. Well in that case I'll just keep it as it is. And I'll probably use that last line in there somewhere. I like it.

K. I'll be back tomorrow then since I love that you're doing this.

I'm glad!

In light of Occupy Wall Street, I have to say I like this sentence a lot.

Thanks Angie Can't say that's what I was going for, though, so that idea is yours.

I have something in mind to close out the second paragraph more effectively. I just need to type it up.

And I was thinking instead of this:

In a country where cries for help have often fallen upon deaf ears, and the need for help has only been seen by the blind eye, Rhythm Nation 1814 is the voice for the forgotten.

Maybe this:

In a country where cries for help are only heard by the deaf, and the need for help has only been seen by the blind, Rhythm Nation 1814 is the voice for the forgotten.

I feel like it appeals to the senses a bit more.

I still don't like it because it implies that either deaf and blind people can hear and see or that deaf and blind people are the only ones with problems in our country. I don't think you have to make it so dramatic. It can just be, "Rhythm Nation 1814 has blossomed as a voice for the everyman in a country where cries for help can usually only be heard from the top."

Do you need any grammar/structuring help or are you just waiting to do it after you've polished your ideas?

Car shopping is a bitch.

Hey. What are you looking for? I know my shit.

Ahh you're really cute. I definitely would.

I would put Rihsus in the top five somewhere..she still has alot of growing up to do..but I love the bitch though..

And she's only 23. I think that's the amazing thing. She's younger than Gaga and Katy; let's see where she is when she's Britney/Beyonce's age.

The video is AMAZING! Seriously fantastic. Her best.

Bump.

I played "STCML" and "TTWLG" for some girlfriends in their dorm last weekend since they simply didn't know Janet's music... (Random choices that I thought newbies would enjoy.) Then like an hour later I said "sorry for forcing my music on you guys, I get really into it," and then they were like, "no, we really liked it!"

Also, in the dining hall we can text in what songs we want to see played on the TVs. I finally found the website with all the codes on it, and I got "The Pleasure Principle" to play today. I had to leave before I could see it play & get everyone's reactions, though.

Finally I can be done texting in "Ray of Light" and "Hold It Against Me."

And Bu knows he's cute.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHUCKS thanks guys lol

and about the hair, its not mine lol, Im alway changing it up, I either have it braided like that, fro'd out, or very rarely straight lol I got pics of all my fave hair, heres 1 of my only good pictures I had of it straight

(this pic is when I turned 18, my hairs longer than it looks in the pic too, it was just really stiff that day lol)

You have a great face.

Stupid jeans, hot shoes, + you're cute as always.

lol with only like 5 more reported dates, she's out-grossed and outsold the Femme Fatale tour (which is supposed to be an arena tour). I'm happy with how she's doing.
