Get off 'er...
I'm a TRU Janet Jackson fan (I broke my ankle as a kid trying that chair stunt from the "Pleasure Principle" video, and the list goes on). So, I'm really digging her CD. First, any artist that has SURVIVED for as long as Janet has the pressure from the industry to evolve. She has never let us down. So you may not like the dance tracks, but her ballads are still HOTTT. It's scary - her voice still sounds as pure as it did when she dropped "Let's Wait A While". Man, ya'll bettah get off my SHE-RO!

I Love Miss Janet but...........................................................................
I love Miss Janet as much as the next person but I think it's time to bow out gracefully. With each new album her voice and creativity is wearing thin.
YES SEX IS GREAT WE ALL AGREE ON THAT but does she have to talk about it on every album since R. Nation 1814?
I gotta go............. I wanna listen to Pleasure Principle.

Pretty good
I like this, but can't understand why Dupri saves all his best hits for Mariah. Janet is your girl, you need to really bring it for her man.

Janet Could Use a Little More Discipline
Janet,

I do LUV U and there is a lot I like about this album, but listen to me. I'm your friend and your friends should always be honest. I'm here to give you a little discipline.

1. Axe the interludes. They are interesting for the first listen or two, but they are essentially filler. There is a reason why people throw away the packing foam peanuts after they get a present -- they want the actual object in the box, not the non-biodegradable stuffin's.

2. Get your head out of your va-jay-jay. It worked for "janet" and it's been downhill from there. There is more to the world than getting laid. The bondage look and title track aren't extreme enough to appeal to real S&M afficianados and I'm not sure they would be of interest to the vast swath of America. I don't think people were really buying it during "The Velvet Rope" and I sure as heck don't think they are buying it now.

3. Not unlike "Damita Jo", "The Velvet Rope", "20 Y.O." and "All for You", this album has many pop/dance/r&b pleasures. What it shares with all of those albums is an unwieldy length and a lot of chaff with the wheat. Hip-hop is not your strong suit, girl.

4. To prove that I'm generous, I'm going to tell you that I love me some "LUV", "Feedback", "Rock With U", "So Much Betta" and "The Greatest Ex". Keep that good stuff coming!

5. I was nervous about you leaving the Jam-Lewis collaboration -- the results aren't bad, just not as exciting as they could be. How about you step out of the same ol'/same 'ol R&B producer mix and get with some real pop/dance producers. Clearly you are in a rut on the last several albums and the formula essentially seems to get re-shuffled. Don't make me spank you.

In summation, Janet, I do LUV U and that's why I care. If anyone can turn this ship around, it's you. I'm not looking for you to repeat your "Control", "Rhythm Nation" and "Janet" heyday. Embrace your pop diva roots (note that your last huge hit was "All For You" which was essentially a dance club/disco jam) and ditch the sexed-up, hip-hoppy R&B that has been bogging you down. Get a little fun on us!

Discipline is the best since The Velvet Rope!!
ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT JANET DID HER THANG ON DISCIPLINE, SHE SOUNDS ALOT LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON ON ALOT OF THE SONGS. DISCIPLINE HAS ALOT OF #1 HITS IF THE RADIO WOULD QUIT IGNORING THE SONGS. FEEDBACK SHOULD HAVE BEEN A #1 HIT ON THE HOT 100, BUT IT MADE IT TO #1 ON THE DANCE/CLUB PLAY BILLBOARD CHARTS. DICIPLINE IS AN AWSOME ALBUM IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN E=MC2 AND HARD CANDY PUT TOGETHER. JANET MUSIC HAS SUBSTANCE WHERE THE OTHER ARTIST DON'T. SHE DID NOT HAVE TO HAVE SOME ONE ON HER TRACKS FOR IT TO BE A HIT. JANET & MICHAEL JACKSON ARE THE "GREATEST ENTERTAINERS AND PERFORMERS OF ALL TIMES" NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO THEM.!!
