Ask me in a month and I might change back to The Velvet Rope. I’ve worn TVR out during the beginning of quarantine and for some reason I’ve been so into Unbreakable lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsaibutterfly Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 To me the answer is clear. TVR is an amazing compilation. It all just fits so well together and is a true piece of art. It was a very creative album, tour and project. EVERY track and interlude on that album is great. From the intro to the last hidden track. Now I'm not saying Unbreakable isn't great. It is a good album with some great songs like The Great Forever and Black Eagle (which is one of my all time faves from her). I do not, however, think that every track on that album is great. The less good tracks imo are: Burn it up, 2 B loved, No sleeep, Well traveled and Gon b alright. Some of the songs feel like just filling to get an album together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbreakable had some of Janet’s best vocals for sure. Not to mention Made For Now! The thing is Janet has always been too timid to sing out full on songs because of her insecurity about her vocal range. Janet’s voice has always lacked raw power but made up for it in versatility. She can sing Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, Folk, POP, etc. unlike her contemporaries. It’s always been about how she uses her voice and her harmonies?!?!! Even Brandy stans those harmonies!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was just always insecure about her voice not being big but she's definitely sung full out and yes we all know about how she uses her voice and harmonies. I love the Unbreakable album and as far as content it's definitely one of her better albums. I feel on that album she barely sang in her higher tone which is when she always sounds better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel on that album she barely sang in her higher tone which is when she always sounds better I said she was timid about it, not that she never did. Didn’t Jimmy say, Janet was often never satisfied by her vocals and would be like, “that was alright...” We know she can sing full on like Rhythm Nation, Together Again and All For You but let’s be real, Damita Jo-Discipline were vocally embarrassing at times. That infamous whisper voice ran rampant because she wasn’t inspired with no passion behind it. Songs like “Unbreakable” and “Broken Hearts Heal” do show her higher range while “After You Fall” and “Gon B Alright” were vocally eclectic! The raw emotion behind those vocals were stunning! So many deep tones and vocal shifting. I know you prefer her singing high but like I said, I prefer her versatility over high notes like Whitney and Mariah all the time. Not many artist can do that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already know she's versatile and that's one of the many reasons everybody loves her but don't go around saying she has more power in her voice now when she doesn't. You said she was timid and that just simply not true and yes Jimmy did say she was never satisfied. Damita Jo wasn't embarrassing. It was actually good and so were he vocals. "I Want You" which got her nominated for a grammy for best vocal , "Island Life", "Like You Don't Love Me", and even on "SloLove" she hit high notes so disappointment where? Now Discipline i'll agree with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it’s ok to admit Janet was timid because she is a perfectionist and is always hard on herself when it came to her voice. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t make the effort, just not as much as she can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree with you on your last sentence. I feel Janet doesn't make as much of an effort vocally as she can. Last time I felt we got crisp clear vocals were on "No Sleeep" when she did the chorus and on "Take Me Away" when she also did the chorus take me awaaaaay frooooooooooom heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.

It's just not as strong as TVR, and there's nothing wrong with that, because TVR is one of the best albums I've ever heard.

Yeah that's a good album and it may surprise some of y'all but I like the "All For You" album better.

I'd still take Unbreakable, but I have this weird affair with AFY. When it first came out, I LOVED it, then I stopped playing it for awhile, but now I'm back to enjoying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
