1. Favorite Janet Song - Love Will Never Do (always puts me in my happy place no matter what)

2. Favorite Janet Tour - The Velvet Rope (duh)

3. Favorite Movie Janet Starred In - Poetic Justice

4. Favorite Janet Album - The Velvet Rope 

5. Favorite Janet Iconic Outfit - The look for "That's the Way Love Goes" And "If" Videos.  Just plain sexy

6. Favorite Janet collaboration - This isn't a duet or anything,  Janet with Jimmy and Terry.  Runner up - Tina Landon 

7. Favorite Janet Deep Cut - Tonight's the Night

8. Most Underrated Janet Album - Unbreakable - while this understandably got generally very favorable reviews, the quality of the project deserved accolades in my opinion.  The work of a true artist.  

9. Most Overrated Janet Album - All For You (2 great singles, though)

10. Least Favorite Janet Tour - Unbreakable / SOTW - not because it's bad, but it's just not the scale and overall energy of the past BIG tours, which would be hard for J to match at this point in her career.  Still great, though!  

She looks great doing this.

It’s one song lol 

Wrong.  It’s a lead single from a new project.  

All the hoopla around Unbreakable was that after several flop attempts of breaking away from them in the mid 2000’s, she had finally made it back to JJ/TL and the magic was still there.   If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. (God I remember saying that several times in the Janet forum 10-12 years ago)

That being said, the song could certainly surprise.  We shall see.  Here’s hoping.

No one asked for that. We had enough of that between 2004-2008.. and it turned out.. well you remember 

And Darkchild isn’t “branching out” 

Couldn’t agree more.  She finally comes back after all those years away with a freakin masterpiece with Jimmy / Terry, and now she wants to get away from them again on the very next project???  SO not here for that.  

OMG this is so exciting - I feel like this snuck up on us!   

I’m so suuuuuury. 

She needs to stop trying to dance.  No ma’am.  She has a great voice, though.

A chain of terrible music that wasn’t solely ran by Jimmy/Terry

Yup and that was most likely a knee jerk decision from the fall out.

That article that accompanies the pics is very profound. She is so intelligent and in tune with her world. Bitch said a bird chirping can inspire a melody. Chile....

THIS.  This is part of why Janet is my #1.  Beyond being an amazing artist through and through, she’s just, I dunno, exceptionally tuned in to the world around her and humanity.

Maybe in 2004 but two & four years after the Super Bowl? Nah 

Super Bowl set off a chain reaction for sure.  

Y’all speaking like true stans wanting new songs and obscure songs.  Ain’t gonna happen, nor should it.  This will be a hits performance.  I think there will be a big focus on RN and SOTW, though, because of the...state of the world.    

Black Eagle

Hindsight is 20/20 I guess, and looking back back on those eras, it’s seems like they were major hiccups.  Maybe they were just knee jerk reactions to the Super Bowl aftermath.  Everyone just panicked.  

I would pretend it didn’t exist.  Kind of like 20 Y.O.  

Love.  J's lyrics have always been on point, they are more relevant now than ever.  Hell, Rhythm Nation should actually get a damn re-release right now.   We need it.  

The writer sure does give Blackout a LOT of credit.  It was a not a "moment."  It was good for someone who had just publicly gone bat shit crazy I guess.  And discipline was not a "Janet" album.  It was a bunch of other producers' and writers' flash in the pan, in my opinion.  

Bummed about Well Traveled.  I think that song's tone represents a coming of age for Janet.  It moves me.  

My vote is for DREAM MAKER.  

That was dumb.  It’s obvious Madonna would win that.  

Hey every song on the album has value to me.  That’s what makes this hard.  

Dream Maker. 

Dream Maker, though I do have an appreciation for it.  Unbreakable is just so solid, this is going to be difficult.  

That shouldn't be something you fuck up.  Lame.  

Everything about this has seriously given me all kinds of life.  It warms my heart to see love between J and Tina.  I know they had their falling out or whatever, but it seems they have burried that hatchet and still love one another. They'll always be a bad-ass team to me.  

You could also sense that old Janet energy from the Janet/Velvet Rope/All For You eras since she had her besties behind her instead of newbies, which are REAL kids.  This was magical.  

Thank the lord.  

I absolutely love her interviews.  I feel like she's one of us and asks exactly what we really want to know.  Every time a new one comes out, I hang on to every word.  That last one with Jimmy about the one year anniversary of Unbreakable, and the ones with Tina are amazing.
