OMG!!!

 

I loved that. Pure Janet.

[Prince Whiskers]

singing what? lol

 

can't imagine celine touching p***s and kissing someone onstage. janet's the bomb! makes me wanna try her

Singing A Song For You extra slow remix.

 

By the way, did you go over the comments on the said video? The guy is gay! He was mouthing "Fabulous".

[Black Kitten]

i don't normally read comments when i'm watching a video in YouTube, but yeah i think he's gay.

 

but there's another version of the "would you mind" performance from All for You Tour. the guy janet picked from the audience is black and he's totally hot!

[Prince Whiskers]

Do you have the Live In Hawaii DVD, dhena? It supposedly features 5 WYM "sessions".

[Black Kitten]

the only Janet dvds i have are The Velvet Rope Tour, Design of a Decade & From janet. to Damita Jo. i don't think the Live in Hawaii concert dvd was released here.

 

5 sessions of WYM? i didn't know it took her that long to complete a "moaning song"

I mean the DVD contains not just 1 but 5 live performances of this song. And there was supposedly one handpicked guy that was made to go back down the stage bec. Janet didn't like his "attitude'.

[Black Kitten]

i didn't know u KNOW a lot of stuff about janet too. i sometimes wonder if u appreciate her too like i do

[Prince Whiskers]

Well, I appreciate some of her songs. Especially the older ones.

[Angel, You thrill me]

miguel, you're too young for that concert... you should've called your mom and dad!

OMG!!!

Sorry but she's such an old w**re. Gosh, she's touching his genitals!!! This is totally unclassy, even Madonna wouldn't dare to do such things on stage with a fan.

i know!

 

but who cares, she's a very sexual person so we have to deal with it, and i honestly loved it!

 

go on, miss janet!

[Prince Whiskers]

Um, dhena, would you "shift territory" for Janet? Accdng. to one survey, most women would go gay for Angelina Jolie. And men would for Johnny Depp.

obviously i would pick celine over any artists, but it doesn't hurt to love JJ the way i love mariah

 

about Angelina Jolie, count me out. give me Lindsay Lohan anyday.

[Prince Whiskers]

Ne-Yo says Lindsay can actually sing.

[Black Kitten]

i have no idea. i don't have her album, and i thank God for not buying it LOL her voice is as awful as Ashlee Simpson.

[Prince Whiskers]

BTW, the original idea was for Janet to pick women instead of men for her Would You Mind holy act, but they thought doing so might earn media criticism. And CBS recently got fined $500,000 for the Superbowl incident.

[Black Kitten]

the "lesbian" rumours (i think it's the title of lindsay's album ) is an old issue actually. "The Velvet Rope" solidified the media's suspicions that janet is actually a lesbian. (listen to "Speaker Phone" interlude in that album where she's SOP-ing with a girl on the other line), but she denied all those rumors. maybe that's why they changed the original idea for WYM.

 

as for the infamous malfunction, it was all well planned, for hopes of boosting the sales of Damita Jo. i always believe it was never an accident.

She's definitely not lesbian though I don't think she's 100% straight either. She's probably bi-sexual like Madonna. Edited July 26, 2008 at 02:33 AM by Calypso

Maybe it's better to move the Janet discussion to her own topic (and not continue it in the Mariah topic)?

 

I think the 'breast incident' has nothing to do with her not being so popular anymore.

 

I was a HUGE fan and bought all her albums and lots of cdsingles. BUT when she started releasing awful albums like "All for you" I don't bother buying her albums unless they are bottom price...

 

Control: 10

Rhythm Nation 1814: 9

Janet: 8

Design of a decade: 10

Velvet Rope: 7

All for you: 5

Damita Jo: 4

20 Y.O.: 4

Discipline: 7

[Black Kitten]

i just think Nick's right. she should stop whispering her songs. the Discipline album, while i consider it her best record since The Velvet Rope, she whispers all her songs like there's no tomorrow. i hardly understand what she's singing, but it's an amazing album. talk about diversity and consistency.

 

her best records to date are Rhythm Nation 1814 and janet. (can't really choose which one is her best as both are almost flawless).

 

here's my ranking:

Rhythm Nation 1814 / janet.

Control

The Velvet Rope

Discipline

20 Y.O.

Dream Street

Damita Jo

Janet Jackson

All for You

 

she's still a legendary artist. she's an icon. it's just so hard to look at her flopping. Damita Jo, 20 Y.O, Discipline, Rock Witchu Tour and her more recent singles all flopped. i don't think she should retire. she still has a lot to offer. she's a very humble person, she's talented, she's versatile, she still can do it. she just needs to learn how to sing and reunite with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the men who made the artist she is today.

I agree with both of you. I think she should have a huge comeback with a new, non-whispering R&B album that's well-produced and written. She's not even 45 yet, she still has a lot to offer in the industry! I'm sure if she did that she'd be back on top again. She's the only other really famous Jackson that has not gone crazy yet(but I still love Michael's 80's career)

[Black Kitten]

Discipline jumps to #107 on the BB200, 16 weeks on and #10 @ R&B Charts! :blink:

[LuisMa]

Dhena, what has spurred the latest Janet interest? The album has been gaining for like 4 weeks in-a-row now!

[Black Kitten]

not only Janet. Mariah's E=MC2 also re-entered the charts and stayed for 2 weeks. it was because of the clearance sale @ Circuit City. E=MC2 and Discipline were available for only $3.99 @ Circuit City. i think all Circuit City stores has been finally closed last March 8, so Discipline is almost impossible to stay in the charts next week.

[LuisMa]

What a horrible scenario for the music business. I used to buy stuff at Circuit City and thought it was great. Then Virgin strores have also been closing down.

You can now follow Janet on Twitter! She's currently recording a new album out next year.

[Black Kitten]

whoa it's nice to see one of my old topics being dug up again.

 

what's her twitter?
