    The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

    475. Janet Jackson, 'Rhythm Nation'

    WRITER(S):James Harris, Janet Jackson, Sly Stone, Terry Lewis

    Jackson’s socially conscious Number Two hit came together late in the sessions for her blockbuster LP Rhythm Nation 1814. Co-producer Jimmy Jam recalled being in the studio and “switching between MTV and CNN. Watching music videos on one side and watching atrocities on the other. Somehow they all merged together. The idea for ‘Rhythm Nation’ was you can dance, but we can also do something more intelligent.” When Jam heard Sly and the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” at a restaurant, he raced to the studio to sample it.

    They are definitely her signature albums. But TVR is just as acclaimed and just as influential. We are talking about different things.

    idk why i'm just now seeing this but TVR is definitely not just as acclaimed as Control and RN, like at all. Maybe in the JanFam but not the general public

    I honestly didn't even notice the sample until someone pointed it out. :lol: I think the video, and specifically the choreography, are getting more attention than the song itself. The song, to me, is just ok. It feels more experimental than anything in the sense of the label and producers trying to find a sound that works for her. :unsure:

    Same here and the song sucks. She'll never make it big if she and her team keep accepting shitty songs and think good choreography is gonna save it. All these years she been solo and still mediocre music and nobody writing hits for her. I'm rooting for her but her future is looking to end up like Tinashe 🤷‍♂️

    I need iPods to make a return so I don't feel old. -_-

     

    I still listen to my ipod in my car. I literally have no idea what else people use to listen to their music other than their phone. I don't like listening to music on my phone. I like smaller devices which is why I still use my ipod.

    a lot of those outfits are ugly

  6. These plaques for The Pleasure Principle, Let's Wait Awhile, and Control were just discovered by some fans. PP and LWA were RIAA certified gold and Control went platinum. Interesting that you can't find these certifications in RIAA's database when you go on the site.

    No photo description available.

    Was it ever professionally recorded though?  I agree - she repeated the script too much from Janet. To TVR.  

    Yes and I didn't realize how much until I watched more clips and the stage looks too small. I believe even the Rhythm Nation Tour stage was bigger.

    Yeah, well I don't think people care that some parts of the janet. World Tour are a bit similar to the TVR. We as fans will buy/stream a commercial release nevertheless and if promoted properly, the general public will too (I mean, come on, it's Janet!! 💁🏻‍♂️).

    I started to think: maybe we're getting some footage from that tour (and other tours) in the upcoming doc.

    a bit similar? lol I honestly don't think it would sell well. I know it's Janet but are tour concerts even being sold these days?

  8. So for the past few days i've been watching uploaded clips of the tour on youtube and in it you'll see a lot of the things she did is used in The Velvet Rope tour with minor readjustments. I'll give you this clip of "This Time" for example. You'll see that the dancers are wearing some of the same outfits with masks that will later be used for her "You" performance on TVR tour. Of course we can tell it was lip synced but its whatever. Then you'll see the lady and her husband fighting which of course is the same drama that is used for "What About?".
