Janet albums in the 80’s and 90’s are QUALITY through and through. Incredible lyrics, flawless and original production that still impresses decades later.
I feel so lucky growing up in the 80s and the 90s and listening to the music and musical artists of that time. Before the internet we were able to enjoy the music organically without the influence of social media. It’s heartening to see a young person enjoying this music the same way I did in my teens and 20s.
Hey buddy,
I am a 21 year old and rn i am also on a JJ discography journey. I have listened to six albums so far (Janet., the velvet rope, all for you, damita jo, 20 y.o and discipline) and tbh i dont dislike any of them, i love all of them to varying degress. As far as Madonna and Kylie are concerned, i have been listening to them since i was 18 ! Artists of my generation are not even 10% good as them.
Me too I was born in 87
born in 81 and thank GOD!
Amen, brotha!
JANET’S HARMONIES 😩😩😩😩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 her voice is soft but has some tenderness and warmth to it
Thank you for reminding us just how great Madonna and Janet are.
Honestly I think that without Janet Jackson and Madonna, we wouldn't have the amount of female artists who came way after them. Let's take Britney Spears, Beyoncé, JLo, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna and Lady Gaga as examples of female artists who have been inspired by Madonna and Janet Jackson.
I feel ya on "Throb", lol.
"Where Are You Now" was a life soundtrack song once upon a time, I had many "what if?" moments.
You need to do a Janet videography journey eventually like you’re doing with Madonna
the velvet rope (1997) all for you (2001) & damita jo (2004) needs to be the next janet jackson reactions!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoops Now was actually a “hidden track” on the cd. CDs sometimes had hidden tracks in the 90s. Now they’re called “bonus tracks” for digital exclusive releases.
I was gonna say this! "Sweet Dreams" ends the album, but then when Whoops Now was released as a single it was added as a proper track on the end rather than the hidden track! That's why it doesn't really fit!
Whoops Now was one of the biggest hits internationally as well reaching #1 in New Zealand, #5 in the France and #9 in the U.K.
janet. is Janet Jackson's biggest era in her career this is one of the best selling albums in history Janet reinventing herself from the "Girl Next Door" image to return as a sex goddess really one of the biggest reinventions in music she did a 360 with this album going from songs about political and injustice to songs about Womanhood and Sexual Freedom and Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover still remains the most duplicated cover in history so many celebrities and fans copy that cover a lot of critics compare this album to Madonna's Erotica album but this album way better than Erotica in my opinion.
Interesting fact... Janet performed Throb on SNL (as well as Anytime Anyplace). It was the first time a club like song was performed on SNL. You should search for Throb SNL performance, it's really good. One of my favorite live performances of hers. Check it out!
Cris Martinez that throb performance is the tightest dance of ANY ARTIST EVER!!!!
WOW, you're just now listening to this iconic album from 1993? Do u realize how big that album was? How influential and mindblowing it was? The songs that slayed the charts on that record? Janet's whole entire look and style was off the chain. How could u not take notice of this album almost immediately? U must have had a lot of stuff going on in your life to not grab this album along the way during your lifetime. I'm surprised, but better late than never brother.
The song Whoops Now! was hidden on the U.K version of the JANET cassette version of album, I’m glad really. When it ends with ‘sweet dreams’ I think it ends perfectly.
Whoops now is still playing on the radio..
Great review!!!★
I love this album so much! ♥
One of my top 5 favorite albums! ♥
I Love Janet so much!!!♥
Janet Jackson and Madonna didn't have strong voices but look at their phenomenal and so influential music. They are amazing artists who "created" our modern pop stars.
Sorry but I still prefer Rhythm Nation 1814, The Velvet Rope and Control to the Janet album. Despite that New Agenda is my favorite non-single track by Janet
And Madonna is so iconic That She even influenced that another icon erotica reminds of janet express yourself is like rhythm nation shes iconuc
You need to see the video for "If". It is everything!
I had this Janet album in cassette and the Whoops Now wasn’t featured on that. I was glad because it ended perfectly with sweet dreams.
Same here cause I never had the CD version either
Before I even start this video can I just say I’m thankful for you doing this, I love seeing others enjoy Janet and you’re the only one doing it like this❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you very much, keep killing it and I wish a lot of success
Yes and get into janet's videos from 1989-2006 Her videography is EVERYTHING!!!!!!! The rhythm nation video alone is just ICONIC FIRE....SHE IS def THE BLUEPRINT ALONG WITH MICHAEL JACKSON WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC VIDEOS
KHALIFA1597 why you gotta ignore feedback, rwu, make me, damn baby and made for now like that 😂
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you for reviewing one of my all time favorite albums!! The Body That Loves You is probably my favorite song by Janet, and I could tell from the way you were moving that you 'get it' immediately. That song just relaxes me, like 4 minutes of heaven. Looking forward to more of your reviews!!
Yo!! Watching you listen to TTWLG you could tell that you’d been transported to another place😂❤️ I think that it’s dope that a younger generation is discovering her music and realizing how impactful, influential and musically talented she really is. Big shout out to the amazing Kathleen Battle for “This Time”, classic!
Love this review I was dying at the in the sink comment you made pmsl. The music video for Janet Jackson IF song was what gripped me into been a fan along with her together song. Really enjoying watching your journey. The one thing I will take away from this video is to avoid the DJ booth as I don't think I'll ever keep a straight face.😂😂 She did a cover of a song around this time called one more chance. Its defo worth a listen and a song with Elton johm called I know the truth.
I am currently on a binge and you are the feature! Getting me through this covid life!
Love how much you get into the music. You really feel it a lot
When the album came out, it seemed like a natural progression for me. Probably because of my age. It was my time of sexual progression. So didn’t seem so out of place. Plus Madonna had the Sex book the prior year. This wasn’t going to shock me after that. OK. You know I’m gonna do it. There’s a nice little list of songs before Velvet Rope. 80’s non album single Diamonds with Herb Alpert. B-Sides from this album that turned up also on the Janet.Remixed album And On And On and 70’s Love Groove. From the Mo’ Money soundtrack The Best Things In Life Are Free. From Design Of A Decade, Runaway and Twenty Foreplay. And of course the iconic duet with Michael Jackson, Scream. All of these came out before Velvet Rope.
Again is a one of a kind song. It was on the airwaves non stop back in the day! So good!
Nobody can't dare tell me Janet going from Rhythm Nation 1814 to janet. ain't one of the most iconic turn around in music history this is one of the biggest albums in history this album is too legendary Janet really gave Madonna a run for her money in the sex appeal department they were huge rivals in the 90's but the janet. album is a all time great album this album a masterpiece Jesse.
My favorite Janet Album. Still listen to it regularly.
If you love classic rock, you should think about doing a series about Heart, Pat Benatar and Stevie Nicks.
And Katrina and the Waves, The Bangles, the Go Go's, Belinda Carlisle...
Janet’s true international breakthrough reaching #1 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand the U.K. and USA. Everything about this era along with Control and Rhythm Nation was perfect. The singles, the videos and the look. The Body That Loves You for me was more sexier than Any Time, Any Place. Whoops Now was released in Europe which I can see why as it sounds more suited to the European sound
I remember I went to a record store listening party on the day the album was released. Ah memories of the good ol days
This was the first Janet Jackson album I owned. I had the cassette version first as I didn't have a CD player until a couple of years after this album came out. Whoops Now didn't feature on the cassette version.
This Time is Epic!
Design Of A Decade 1986-1996 followed Janet. in 1995.
Own Your Crazy same here, in 1993 this was my first ever Janet Jackson album, I bought it on cassette too, I’m glad it never featured in that. It finished perfectly with her whispering sweet dreams.
Weirdly enough i bonded with you over Janet's New Agenda song... a song i dont really like but understand its importance and meaning...you showed new layers of ur personality...that you are intune with the world and whats going on around you... and for that ive subscribed!@
One of the best selling albums in history this album is such a masterpiece her coming out sexy album Janet was heavily a threat to Madonna in sex appeal during this time my favorite song off the album is One More Chance and Where Are You Now also you gotta hear her janet. Remix she has 2 songs 70's Love Groove and On And On on it.
In the words of Janet Damita Jo Jackson, get the point? good, let's dance!
Cause all of songs albums videos concerts and tours made you did just that.
Still ControllingTheRhythmNation
It happened so gradually.... When he get naked, lol. Janet's album will wear u out. Amazing music. She the greatest there is. No one compares to Janey to me, NO ONE.
Perhaps I was an exotic dancer in my past life 😆
Where Are You Now is one my go to's. It's just a nice song.
Her most recent album, Unbreakable, is also as good, though The Velvet Rope was her peak overall.
I love your love for pure perfection. Janet albums were a event, a gathering of love . Google her, it was simply amazing. She gave us hope. U must watch the velvet rope concert. You might want to wear short and a wife beater because u will go off. It was nominated for Emmy awards etc. The best I've been to in life. I've been to all Janet's concerts /tours. No one, on one is above this woman. She's blue print.
I knew he was going to be stripped in this era
Her chart success peaked with this album. Control and Rhythm Nation are stronger albums imo. I got annoyed with the multiple interludes used on this album, and she continues to have them on following albums. Another thing that disappoints with this album is the production--almost all of the songs sound the same, a bit monotonous. That's The Way Love Goes and Again deserve their number 1 chart position. My personal favorite of this album is Where Are You Now.
In fact, in this album, the deception was this album was less innovative to ''Control'' and ''Rhythm Nation'' (depist this was a very good album). But the biggest postitive way that that depiste this album was not so innovative (outside ''If'' and ''Any, Time, Any Place''), she risk to explore more styles then she never explored before, including house, hip-hop, rap, Swing/jazz, pop and bossa Nova. Because ''Rhytmn Nation'' and ''Control'' was less varied to this album. For the rock, she started to easy the rock with ''Black Cat'', before ''If'' and ''What's I'll Do''.
''That the Way Love Goes'' spend eight weeks in n.1 in US charts in may-june 1993
You are so cute love watching your posts 👍🏻 x
Take it off
A lot of these songs were on the radio because Janet was so big. If and Anytime, Any Place were both Top 10 hits. If they were by more obscure artists, they wouldn't have been played because they are a bit racy!
You know your a pioneeer in music when another icon makes music simliar to you another reason why madonna is in icon This came out after erotica She made women more comfortable to be sexy Man this reminds me so much erotica i could be wrong but i feel she inspired even janet with express yourself and erotica seriously if this doesnt remind you of erotica you need new ears !
Lisa Plan EXACTLY! Janet definitely took 📝
This ignores women, specifically black women like Donna Summer that were pushing the boundaries of sex in music well before Madonna. I mean Janet had sensual songs on Control and RN the big difference was the image change which was hinted at in the video for LWNDWY in 1991. And Janet is sensual album but not as raunchy as Erotica. Erotica is a great album but the way it was critically and commercially perceived couldn't have had anyone racing to replicate it.
@@karamazov93 How does it ignore women. And how is it more raunchy besides the title track And did you read my other comments i know Women sold sex before madonna and janet jackson and i also I said I COULD BE WRONG
@@karamazov93 And don't forget Blondie /Debbie Harry..she was one of the first and she even inspired Madonna...
