Undeniably the theme of DJ was a new love, and unlike the next two albums that followed it actually fit with where she was. The islands is where her & JD solidified what they had - Spending Time With You, Island Life, My Baby, Truly, I Want You. JD introduced her to more confident sides of herself AND they got into strippers together - Damita Jo, Strawberry Bounce. Thinking About My Ex was a wild card because she wanted to work with Babyface & had BEEN wanting to do so. Personally I love that song. It’s not that the album didn’t have a theme it’s that you didn’t care for the theme.

Wait you’re using facts and data but then the facts and data of - record sales are not being used to classify the album? You’re a constant contradiction. Also - YOU WANT this music to continue, MAYBE it will & maybe it won’t. I bet the next few tracks you get won’t be a continuation of that legacy. I bet that for sure. Im not saying their music together wasn’t good - I’m saying DJ was a very solid album & is only discredited due to the surrounding scandal. Your dislike for it to me falls inline with the other mindless shit you say. If you’re not a fan of anything outside of Jimmy/Terry get prepared to be disappointed in what she drops next. It will in MANY ways be a departure from that you cling to so heavily. And it happened live… which many never thought would be. Island Life is forever a vibe.

Stop being unnecessary, dramatic & extra. Your opinion doesn’t outweigh anyone here. No one. Who are the “no ones” that you speak of? Anyway, she made classic music with JJ/TL and some of the other music she made was excellent but undervalued. DJ did much better than Unbreakable has. Either way let’s see how the music plays out.

A lot of fans love Slolove honestly. I think Jimmy & Terry gave Janet her signature sound. MOST big artists have producers they build signature sounds with. BUT imo Damita Jo was a great album. Also I think there are some solid Janet moments post Jimmy & Terry. For example - Roll Witchu is in the top tracks from Janet for me. I like Luv, I liked Luv 2 Luv, Take Care, I like Thinking About My Ex, I like Island Life, I like What Can I Say. Actually a lot of those I love. The only thing about some of the musical moves with Janet might be them (whoever the producer is) trying too hard to keep a Jackson sound instead of just making great music. Janet & Pharrell are looooong overdue. I am really interested to see how fans take the new music. Also Unbreakable was critically received but to me that can be taken with a grain of salt. Not saying the album wasn’t good it’s just critics...are not always giving an authentic opinion

Why is that a problem?

It’s not a brag, you said you wanted information. That’s a response. Not only am I not bragging - I’ve been virtually silent. And for this reason exactly, but I’ll go back to that silence.

I told you that June would be a great month, & @Game For Now I also said the intended person was not Gaga, back when people were claiming and believing Unbreakable would be called Conversations in a Cafe...I told everyone it wouldn’t be that. I even mentioned it would “probably” be Unbreakable. I remember you weren’t too excited because it sounded like some MJ title to you lol but I was also told - I’m not generally known to know anything lol but good things are coming for sure

*wink*

I thought about that but she actually didn’t go check the video. She said stop without the track and she came in a few seconds early... Then again I can’t tell, I know a lot intro cues are lip sync though...

It’s a new era because the new music is made and prepped. You see her rehearsing for the summer festival tour that will then run into the new SOTW dates. Also with a new tour there will be new merch. That’s just kinda how it goes.

State of the world was a really dope period of time. Excellent show, probably the best tour set list & even performances in a while. But this here is like living in the moment. It’s made for now, it’s different. It’s a new era for sure.

No matter how much you love Janet - you don’t know her nor do you know what she’s actually dealing with. Nor do you know Wissam nor do you know Eissa.

Lol you better believe he is appointed to do exactly what he’s doing by Janet. And she’s right there with him when he does.

Sorry for the multi post. Don’t know why it did that. I’m also on phone so can’t delete.

Absolutely & don’t allow the condescending lack of faith of others be a dagger at your beliefs. The most preach peace who tend to not believe in anything seem to always find ways to take shots at those who do. Funny they say for other to respect the difference of others but then disrespect because their pompous ideology of being better because they have no faith in anything “outside themselves”. Nonetheless, this reads drama surrounding the breakup & potentially a custody edge. I’m not buying the locked in the bathroom, drug addicted, raging Wissam. He could be on drugs, maybe, he could have a temper - maybe, but this sounds personal and I’ll leave it to them. I’m sure he cares about Eissa and he tends to have the same number of people watching him with Eissa as Janet tends to have with her.

Lol June.

Lol it’s a fact though. It won’t be Gaga.

Lol by no stretch will it be Lady Gag

You missed something. Let’s let it play out and see.

June will be a good month & the artist isn’t Lady Gaga but for sure it’s a woman.

Loved everything about her speech. As a believer myself and working/knowing the industry they often try to make you compromise your beliefs. Everyone around the last 10 years started referring to the “Universe” - which is cool, but trust me it was a trend that the industry was collectively on. Janet took the deep breath before she mentioned her faith because it’s often silenced. In a space where we talk about collective acceptance of love & difference of opinion, having a faith based perspective has become taboo & scrutinized. Good for Janet. One day fans will learn, you support someone who will always support God. It’s best to anticipate it anytime she speaks. That’s where she is in her life & always has been but even more so. The performance was short & didn’t do her justice. The camera people were trash. The setlist was for fans & gives me hope that future set list will be diversified. Overall I thought it was GOOD but not amazing. I wish the dances that lead into throb - the slow parts were longer. In comparison to tour she kills it much more on tour. I felt there was more potential left on the stage.

As I told you ladies and gentleman - Bruno Mars.

Wait til Janet gets on that stage and say her career started in that building they are in right now and how full circle it is. When she talks about starting as a kid at the MGM.
