Shawn1814 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Truly i am not familiar with madonna's discography ..i think i got her greatest hits..and it sounded like an album full of techno dance singles.. 20yo isn't really a bad album..but for an album that was supposed to celebrate 20th anniversary of control i understand why it got and gets dragged for filth ..Janed should have poppified that album a little...It was Just too urban ..Control was not urban ..its a pop gem ...and 20yr should have been in the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedvelvet Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Personally I think 20 Y.O should have been a greatest hits, like 'History'. One disc of hits, one of the new songs, that way the 20YO album as it is would have got away with the 'fun' theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Baby Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 A generic gay Euro dancepop song and a sexy ballad whose instrumentation comprises of the triangle? My point was really how American Life combines acoustic guitar ballads with electronic layering. They don't see that. She was treading new waters, janet was covering old and dated sounds of the past.

King Baby Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 exactly...like that's some fuckin' Rhythm Nation or Velvet Rope. He need to sit down Notice how you had to go back to those classic album SloeSloe. I'm just saying... Janet's new music doesn't stand up. Madonna got the biggest single of her career with "Hung Up". She rocked the new millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Baby Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I actually liked the rapping. Truth be told I liked Madonna then and I got annoyed know one got American Life. I still watch that Gap commercial with Missy Thats what happens when you experiment with your sound. Sometimes people won't get it. Artist take risk. It still cleared 5 million.

King Baby Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Alright well here's another fact. Janets is the only artist to have a no.1 on all major radio formats. Diversity? I think so. Not to mention the number of crossover hits she's had. Janet has impacted in pop, dance and R&B. Madonnas made no impact on r&b at all. Another fact...Madonna is the more successful artist, has taken more risk, and is in the rock and roll hall of fame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Baby Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Artistically, all for u, damita jo and even discipline are way superior to any 00 madonna album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Baby Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Exactly, that's where she was at the time. So instead of turning are backs on her and waiting for her to get depressed again, we should have just joined her and had fun. Not every album Janet releases must be serious does it? Ur trapping her for that. If u lot can buy in to rihannas or britneys meaningless sex whore albums then u should find reason to support Janet too. I find it laughable how people have no problem with rihannas 'cockiness' and 'fuck me' lyrics that she has stuck to for 6 albums, yet people attack Janet for 'constantly' talking about sex. Janet is not the same type of artist as Rihanna and Britney. Her messages have always been as important as her music. You might as well be comparing Erykah Badu to Ke$ha.

Twistedvelvet Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 They don't see that. She was treading new waters, janet was covering old and dated sounds of the past. I'm sorry but damita jo covered new sounds and future sounds... The island life dance break, all nite, slolove, and put ur hands on etc all featured dance electro sounds.

FAIL But why should Janet be ridiculed and attacked for her choices, yet britney etc are accepted cause 'that's the type of artist they are'....pathetic. I'd rather gave Janet fun songs than no songs or britney songs for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedvelvet Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Damita jo was an experiemental album. Yull saw how britney was playing it in her car when she knocked a pap over. It inspired 'blackout' electro sound! And without strawberry bounce there would be no whorish rihanna. There is nothing 00 madonna about any of the current artists. No influence.

Clearly u haven't listen to it. I'm sorry but there is nothing evidently experimental or diverse about madonnas 00s albums. Ur talking rubbish.

JoeJoe Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Both of them suck musically right now. I think Madonna has the most potential of releasing something incredible right now but I wouldn't count Janet out. As for the past, it's hard to say. I think they're both equal. The Velvet Rope might be a masterpiece album but Madonna's imagery and select songs certainly gave it a run for its money. The only time Janet really had something over Madonna was in the 80's. Um no! When you've been in the game as along as they have...what is there left to say? Both have covered soooo many world topic and issues. Not to make excuses but I can understand them being a lil creatively stifled. Janet definately seems topic-less nowadayz Madonna seems desperate to stay current So BOTH lose but understandably,imo. cause she is desperate They don't see that. She was treading new waters, janet was covering old and dated sounds of the past. Um cause that's how 20 Y.O. was supposed to be. She's said it many times before that its supposed to give you some of that old Janet from Control and on celebrating her 20yrs in music so um yeah Notice how you had to go back to those classic album SloeSloe. I'm just saying... Janet's new music doesn't stand up. Madonna got the biggest single of her career with "Hung Up". She rocked the new millennium. Where overseas in Europe? cause it damn sure didn't happen in the U.S. Another fact...Madonna is the more successful artist, has taken more risk, and is in the rock and roll hall of fame... Of course Madonna is gonna get more than Janet and we all know why, taking more risks?...you mean more stunts right. She's known for her antics which is why she's always being made fun of. Rock and Roll hall of fame? Let's not...Madonna is much older and she's white. Of course she's gonna get in there before Janet :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: nothing wrong with what he said. "Damita Jo" did indeed had music on that album that no one else was doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOtherFan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 They ONLY thing Madge had over Janet recently is success, and she didn't come by that success with "artistic integrity" Point still stands and the Madge stans will continue to deal and be highly bothered by it.
