Kim Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Madonna doesn't have vocals to sing... Madonna fans will follow her when they dance... Madonna fans aren't strong enough to make her not flop... it's going to take the general public to drive sales.. not stans or fans She may not have spectacular vocals, but she could pull it off. Same with Janet. But Janet's in a worse position. There's a reason why she's on her local carnival tent tour trying to remind her fans and the public that she's still around.

Illi Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 This is not my intention at all. I just thought Adele's success presented an opportunity. TBH, I can't get into Someone like You. I guess I'm more into the 80s/90s formula ballads. It might eventually grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet needs NOT to play "fun and light"... at all.. avoid that at all costs!!! She doesn't need to sing like that to make a new direction work. She's been doing the same shit since All for You. I've been enjoying the music, but it's time for something different. No more "been there done that" attitude, or "classic me with a modern twist", or "I just wanna have fun" shit.

Like when Sarah McLachlan, Alanis, Jewel, Michelle Branch, etc were all out. It might not be as big of a movement, but if radio opens up, I think we can get the same variety of music on the radio that we had in the 90s.

TwistedElegance™ Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Congrats to Adele. I actually thought her VMA performance was pretty weak compared to her others, but it doesn't matter. That song was made to go No. 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedvelvet Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I would say that Janet and Madonna still try to appeal to the "kiddie pop" audience. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have got to be kidding me. How many dates has Janet done compared to Madonna? Janet is working 10x as hard to gross what Madonna did during that tour.

Paul Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Yes. You have got to be kidding me. How many dates has Janet done compared to Madonna? Janet is working 10x as hard to gross what Madonna did during that tour. Honey, as much as I like him, he's blinded by the amazingness that is Janet to the point of delusion... Janet is touring small venues because in most of the world she is incapable of selling out arenas and stadiums. She could have done a few select arena dates in major cities like London and LA etc but this ain't 1997 anymore lol Madonna is a touring monster, even kylie is a bigger touring artist now. Janet is doing great all things considered, and this is a step on the ladder back to the top, but let's be honest Janet and her stupid decisions over the years are partly to blames as to why she is where she is today. One of the more recent ones is not claiming and releasing HBL - look at pitbull and what that sound did for J.Lo Make me was soooo average - it had no hook. Hopefully Janet will come back on top, but I'm not holding my breath because even last time with feedback doing well she didn't bother promoting at the right time and released a weird ass video and the song had no push in markets like the UK which would have eaten it up. Twistedvelvet could be in for a lot of sadness unless he takes his blinkers off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idrag4mj Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 yes i think its more-so the ability of people to relate to the song and not the actual song that has made it popular...it makes people think of their exes .. anyway congrats to adele ..like someone said this is probably the first time a ballad has hit the top spot since ..leona lewis bleeding love..or rihanna's take a bow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really consider "ballads" like Bleeding Love or Take a Bow as true ballads. They both have a beat to drive it. Maybe I'm just stuck in the 90s. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet was a dumbass for not jumping on board. She had a fuckin hit song on her hands. If anything, it would've gone #1 on dance. I just... UGH!
