Kaleidoscope Eyes Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Once I put on Twisted Elegence, it's a wrap! I have to play the entire album all the way through. Also, VTVR isn't just an album, it's an experience. The interludes, the quirks, the way the tracks transition into each other. Bout time I get to Empty, I've popped a Xanax and had a glass of wine. That album puts me on a trip. Only the Queen, Janet Jesus Jackson. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotboy06 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The Velvet Bible is a fan favorite for a reason. It's one of those albums that you appreciate once you get a little older and understand Janet's stance on what she was experiencing around that time. Everything about the era was unique. I was even scratching my head at her hair..but it was Janet the ARTIST. Her music and image had evolved. Her lyrics were deep and heartfelt. She was doing red hair before her daughter was even thought of. It was a pivotal point in her career because it made people THINK. And what is art, if it doesn't evoke some type of response? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She came out the gate on some other new type shit. Her appearance was African tribal meets S&M Funk Queen and that's exactly how the album came off. She became the music and by doing so she became an artist. I will forever be a stan for Velvet Rope Janet, that bitch is my Yoda. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GTIG video and the TA video were evidence of that..even the choreography incorporated African dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant even begin to tell you how many people refer to the Sankofa as 'the janet symbol'. Only Superheroes have symbols and that's exactly how she came across during that era..she was a fuckin superhero. I loves her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh..I remember when I was stationed in Korea and this girl had the Sankofa tattooed on her wrist..she was a big Janet stan..and she happened to be bisexual as well.

I just know that THAT album saved lives. Seeing a well established black pop artist come out and embrace her inner weirdo and have themes on her album embracing homosexuality and shunning homophobia was very important to me as a young black weird homosexual child. She didn't have to go that route, but she did and I am forever grateful to her that she did. That's why I continue to come here and why I WILL ALWAYS support Janet Jackson.
