Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm no angry at him. I actually don't think he's all that bad. But he's a flake and out of touch with reality.

My primary issue with JT is the shady/flip-flop manner in which he handled Prince and Michael's deaths. Shading Prince in his song GITM then tweeting out that message praising him after his death. And in an interview once he cited Frank Sinatra as his biggest musical influence (side eye) but after MJ's death he hopped on the "WEHEARTMJ" bandwagon.

Great points. I'm not attacking Justin just merely postng the news. But if I could play devil's advocate for a second, I think Justin gets so much hate because of his egregious appropriation of all-things black but when held to the fire, he reverts back to his whiteness.

In case you missed it, Jesse Williams delivered an epic speech on last night's BET Awards regarding the #BlackLivesMatter movement. In response, Justin Timberlake tweeted the following message:

"@jessewilliams tho #inspired"

This sparked instant backlash from Black Twitter who went ALL the way in on JT, most notably, Ernest Owens, who replied with the following:

"So does this mean you're going to stop appropriating our music and culture? And apologize to Janet too?"

This elicited a response out of Justin who then attempted to play the #alllivesmatter card. See the links below for a more detailed account.

Right. Now if Justin was the one being penetrated...

Janet's top 5 sensual/slow grooves:

- 70's Love Groove

- Anything

- Funny How Time Flies

- Twenty Foreplay

- Anytime Anyplace 

I agree that WYM is cringeworthy and unsexy.

This. I can recall my first time listening to All For You from beginning to end and literally wanting to throw my cassette in the garbage. With the exception of the singles, I didn't care for anything on the album. In time, I grew to at least "tolerate" most of the album but I still rarely (if ever) play it. 

I am on the fence here. I love the janet. album and era overall but several songs could be considered filler:

- Funky Big Band

- New Agenda

- This Time

- Whoops Now

- What'll I Do

    NOTE: Some might also add TBTLY but I've grown to love that song. Plus, I applaud the unexpected nod to Brazilian jazz.

With that being said, it's stil my 2nd favorite Janet album.

Agreed. The slow songs on All For Poo don't hold a candle to Anything. TBTLY however is arguable depending on your taste (Brazilian jazz ain't for everyone).

Great topic! Funnily enough, the album that took the longest to grow on me is also now my favorite album of all time: TVR. For years, I placed this album as one of her worst until around '08 or '09 I really dedicated myself to give it a chance. From there, that was all she wrote. I think what initially held me back was the same overall critique of the general populace. TVR was a departure from anything Janet had done up to that point, both sonically and lyrically. Of course there were standouts like TA and IGL but everything else was definitely an acquired taste.

RN clearly

No sir. Whisper-net was in full non-audible effect here.

I actually agree with Game's earlier comments about none of the songs on UB  (with the exception of NS) being radio friendly. Honestly, I don't see why many people hyped DB up so much. It's pretty lackluster imo.

Ok just curious.

Did you really expect them to play the song after you verbally bashed the dj? Seems like you did more harm than helped. Just an observation.

Well Dammn Baby has over 6 million views on Janet's FB page so there's that

Omg boz the shade!

I gave it a 7. The beat and lyrics are good  and Janet vocals are on point but the chorus is severely uninspired.

I'd been "aware" of Janet ever since the janet. album but she'd always kinda lingered in the back of my mind, not really registering on my stan radar. That was, until college where I asked my then roommate if I could borrow his Janet: Live from Hawaii dvd. Watching it, I found myself recognizing the RN and Control songs which previously I'd had no idea belonged to her. I was all like "she did THAT song" or "that was HER" after basically every song. I was hooked after that.

I agree about No Sleeep being the last great video. Before that, I'd say ANDS.

Nothing = nothing

Feedback sucks ass (except of course for the ultra fierce red catsuit segment)

RWU and Make Me had potential except for the fact she looked like a busted drag queen after an all-night mollyfest in one and the other lacked proper editing. 

20 Y.No...I don't think that needs further clarification. 

So how do you explain her virtually sold out stadium tour there?

When are you gonna give us another striptease?

I thnk Take Care was a solid effort.
