JANET JACKSON BRINGS YOU DISCIPLINE

Thursday, February 21, 2008

♫ JANET JACKSON - FEEDBACK

♫ JANET JACKSON - ROCK WITH U

Janet Jackson’s 11th studio album, Discipline has leaked and Janet fans across the net are raving. Within the past week, a few tracks have leaked and there have been mixed reviews from bloggers and media commentators alike. I, for one, am excited for Janet’s takeover Time Square week next week, as well as the much anticipate release of Discipline on the 26th of February. The Darkchild and D’Mile-produced “Feedback” has been doing great, gaining play on MTV, which Janet hasn’t had the support of the past few years. And she’s already lined up two other singles, “Rock With U” (a video is being shot) and “Luv.”

♫ JANET JACKSON - ROLLERCOASTER

On Discipline, Janet takes us back and offers a flurry of interludes and musical transitions with a futuristic and conceptual spin. From what I’d gathered from my first couple listens of the album, it sounds like Janet is going back to basics. She has a slew of radio-friendly tracks from A-List producers, writers and a cool guest spot from Missy Elliott. Janet also gives you a few of her classic, airy ballads. Standout tracks for me include the dance single, “Feedback,” “Rollercoaster,” “Luv,” “The 1″ and I’m loving the Prince-inspired “So Much Betta.”

Discipline really is a cohesive effort to me. Even though she’s still whispering, I think Janet did her fans right by this album, especially after the upset of 20 Y.O.

Make sure that you go cop Janet’s Discipline in stores or via iTunes on February 26th! And stay tuned to CL for more updates on Miss Jackson.

Fans are raving???!!!! LOL. I don’t even hear dat “Feedback” ish on da radio down in So. FLA. No matter how much Janet talks about what kind of freaky sex her and Jermaine get into, she is never gonna sell or be big like she was in the 80s and 90s. She needs to seriously stop embarassing herself and step down with some dignity. In the words of Tupac but from a female’s perspective ” All you old r&b singers tryna advance. It’s all ova now, take it like a woman.” Janet, settle down and have a kid cause your singing career is a WRAP!!!!

p..s. Yall know Janet can’t sing any damn ways… in the past she’s always had good producers work with her!!!!! NEXT

@ #8, regardless of her singing means nothing, Janet can do and does her thing. that black list shit they are giving her is wild. THE CD IS HOT, AND SO WAS DAMITA JO!! all the hate and other sh!t doesn’t matter to me, i mean mariah had a breakdown and came back hot, though she can sing her ass off, janet can entertain and put on a show, so let’s see what she does first week!

I’ve only heard snippets thus far and was very disappointed in what I’ve heard. I’m gonna go see if I can check out the rest of the album. I also hate the way Janet has 9 interludes out of 22 tracks. Once I hear the full tracks, I hope to be eagerly anticipating the new disc as many are.

Since someone leaked the album this week, I already got a bootleg copy(yall know I wasnt going to purchase this foolishness). After listening to it, all the tracks sound like one long ass song. If you it wasnt for the interludes I would think I was listening to the same song over and over. She over used the topic of “sex”. I think there is much more to talk about at age 41.

“Rollercoaster” is the only song I even remotely liked.

She could have kept this. Children I highly disappointed. Its a FLOP waiting to happen.

I think a lot of folks are hating just because. You have to look at the album without any pre-conceived notions and “listen”. People hear what they want to hear but this is truly a well put together, well produced album. She did that and that’s real! How could you honestly not like joints such as Rollercoaster, LUV, Can’t B Good, Curtains, So Much Betta, and many many more. The album is truly undeniable and if people are saying it’s awful then it’s their continuous taste in lackluster music clogging their ears.

I’m disappointed in this album. The lyrics of the title track seem odd considering the source. Makes me want to call CPS. And her voice: I know Janet was never hailed as a songbird, but her voice has gotten progressively worse over the last couple of years. On this album she sounds like her throat got in a knife fight. :( Sorry, Janet.

Well said. This is a very good CD. I am a fan but I can admit that Damita Jo and 20 YO lacked something. This one is easily her best work since All For You.

@8baller
What the hell were you listening to? None of the songs sound alike and she talks about sex on 3 songs.. How do you go from house music, to club music, to euro pop, to ballads and r&b and sound the same?

Stop hating, it’s not a good look

Janet is hot! her ability to release a new cd is very much appreciated
Why do so many have to hate on a talented African American. At 8 and 23, I am sure you all are not in the studio cutting an album and even if you HAD the opportunity, Janet’s creativity will surpass yours and many others without a question.
Instead of hating on her, be happy to see another Black individual release a album thats not about guns, violence, money and other nonsense.
If you don’t like the album, then create a sensible arguement instead of bad-mouthing her!

I’m in my 30’s so I was around for Janet’s heyday, but I have never been a fan of hers and I have never purchased a CD. She always puts on an excellent show but her music is garbage. She can’t sing folks. She’s no better than any of these other “no-singing” chicks just because she’s been in the game forever. Some of you are as bad as the Beyonce stans who can’t stand to hear anybody disagree with their hero. I listened to these songs and they’re just as bad as anything else she ever put out.

43.

Discipline

Thursday, February 21, 2008 /

I’m a fan and i give the album 3.5 stars/5. It worthy of being picked up on Itunes and your local store. People saying that Janet is losing it i find the opposite i find that she lost “it” already and she’s slowly gaining it back. The mid-tempo tracks like Can’t B Good and What’s Ur Name along with Feedback and Luv are classic Janet. she took a chance with so much betta and that came out out. The vocals are weak at some points and that’s not because Janet can’t sing it’s because she’s got lazy because she has nothing to prove anymore. Making these albums are just fun for her now, she already been where all the other R&B/pop chicks have been and right now she is just enjoying it. This who making album’s business is really for the fans.

44.

The King of Meats

Thursday, February 21, 2008 /

42. Allison, you said it!

I think she got her fan base, because she had no competion bac in the day! All the other great singers were overweight or too fugly to give concerts! Plus, she was Micheal’s sister. She has always been over-exposed! Stuff like 200,000 copies sold before the CD even drop! Or, one good song on a 16 track joint! Her overseas market was gifted to her by Michael and the Jackson 5! Oh, and don’t forget, she had Jam and Lewis writing for her and mixing her on state of the art systems! She’s one voice shy of Beyonce’.

@Alison, Madonna is not a great singer either, but shes one of the biggest female singers of our generation. A voice doesnt mean shit if u dont know how to make good songs. No-one says that stuff about Madonna, but when Janet’s around some people always gotta say she can’t. It doesnt make sense.

Please dont bring Beyonce into this–I love them both, but her and Janet r 2 different types of artists.

Anyway, Discipline is her best work since The Velvet Rope. She hasnt sold cause the RACIST HYPOCRITICAL media made a big deal about the whole Superbowl incident. How come when Britney and Madonna kissed at the MTV Awards one yr, no-one said anything and their long-term sales weren’t affected??!! Christina Aguilera became a BIGGER name after she went all raunchy with that Stripped album, no-one said to boycott her. It is just media induced spin and prejudice.

If you knew anything about Janet you would know that she does write, co produce, arrange, compose, executive producer, and does all her own background vocals.
Please don’t mention shit about mike and jackson 5 giving her a pass, because you have her other family that didn’t make it….

Well here’s my opinion because I can do just that.

I’m been a Janet fan for some time.But this album doesn’t to it for me.I even listen to the whole thing twice since it leaked yesterday and I kindly deleted it because it didn’t really stick out to me.I don’t think the songs are that hot.The album to me is mediocrity, which is not bad. I prefer Janet ballads though.Good luck to Janet because I know she’ll do ok.Just not for “me” this time around.

53.

Nichole

Thursday, February 21, 2008 /

I’m listening to the album now. I have been thus far impressed with what I’ve heard. The only song that I’m not feeling thus far is “The 1″ feat/Missy Elliot. Janet sounds really good on every last song thus far. I love how she’s bringing out her voice a bit more. Especially on the track “Rollercoaster”.

============================================================

Shawn, I can say the same thing about Biz Markie who wrote, co-produced, arranged, composed, did all -his own background vocals and executive produced, “You Got What I Need”, but does that make him “too legit to quit?” .

Hell naw!

Why, even William Hung topped the charts with his smash hit, “She Bangs”!

Janet and Madonna are in the same boat with Rihanna…they all can’t sang, but are willing to strip down and flash the goods! They give good face!

Have never been a serious fan of Janet. I do not have one of her albums in my 200+ CD collection. Not even a tape or a LP (blacktop). She whispers on everything and I cannot fork up $12 or $2.50 (bootleg) for that lack of vocal. I love music and she is good for a few tracks but not for my hard earned money.

NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

give it a rest, if you never liked Janet why even bother to listen to the cd..
I broke it down to let you know that janet just doesn’t get handed a track to sing (this is the first time) unlike a whitney that CAN sing (not saying janet can’t) but can’t write a song to save her life.

To Shawn at #48…I listened to the music because I wanted to hear it before I formed an opinion. I’m not going to critique anything that I haven’t actually heard (WHICH WOULDN’T MAKE SENSE). There are a few singers out there that I didn’t use to be a fan of, but now they put out some material that I enjoy. We can debate all day long, but the bottom line is to each their own. If you like the record buy it, I’m not going to, but that doesn’t make me a hater.

63.

Nichole

Thursday, February 21, 2008 /

The album is good. I would give it a B. The best tracks are Curtains, Rollercoaster, 2nite, Luv, Can’t B Good, Never Letchu Go, and Whats Ur Name. The weakest tracks are RWU, The 1, and So Much Betta. Decent tracks are Discipline and Greatest X. Good job, J!

Now this makes me even more excited for Mariah’s album. I’ll be buying both!

Thursday, February 21, 2008 /

I think we need to see an emerging pattern (don’t laugh). but:

All her albums where she DOES NOT SMILE on the cover (including this one), she brings the goods.

Her albums where does smile on the album cover (All For You, Damita Jo, 20 Y. O.) werent any good.

Lesson: Janet should only smile in her videos, public appearances, photoshoots….anything BUT her album covers :D

I just hope enough people will buy this record. If this flops, it will mean 3 consecutive flop records. Hopefully it’ll do well.

Plus she needs to work harder to promote her work IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!! Taking over TImes Square NEXT WEEK is a bit too late, I think. She and her management should have promoted the hell outta Feedback, cause it’s been her best track in a long time. Something tells me she was being a tad bit lazy.

Can you tell me one good song that Janet has written? I didn’t think so!!! And, who said I listen to her CDs? I do not…unless it happens to play on satelite radio! She has not received one thin dime of my money!

And, like I said…any old idiot can write and produce a CD! Alicia Keys has done more in three years than Janet has done in 30! And, I’m not a huge fan of Alicia’s either, but she is more relevant than nasty Janet and her sick family!

Why Post

Thursday, February 21, 2008 /

King of Meats and everyone else, if you’re not a Janet fan and she’s all f*cked up, why did you click the link about her album on concreteloop download and listen. When I don’t like (or respect) someone, I just keep it moving. Sometimes I wonder if people from other artists camp get on here and type negative things…

As far as the success of her other albums, there was backlash from the superbowl. Even people who were initially critical of the incident said it went waaaay too far. Fact, Justin got a pass, Janet didn’t. That’s true if you like her or not.

To the chick who’s a Whitney fan (greatest love of all) I like WH too. She definitely ain’t the same (looks, vocals, etc)….I’d definitely roll with Janet.

73.

ohboo

Thursday, February 21, 2008 /

@king of meats. One good song that Janet has written….I could name dozens but I’ll stick with one. The year was 1993 and Janet slowly entered the backdoor with that slow mellow groove of “that’s the way love goes”. I don’t give a damn if you were a fan or not that song was the bomb and anyone who wasn’t teething still rocked that shit. It may not have made you a fan but it made you at the very least tap your feet or nod your head. It took two weeks to reach #1 and in my opinion it is one of Jimmy, Terry, and Janet’s best collabos. It borrowed from James Brown’s “papa don’t take no mess” such a subtle sample that unless you knew James’ version inside out you couldn’t tell. Follow the link to see exactly what I’m talking about. Also since Alicia writes and produces her won music I guess she’s one of those “old idiots” too. You demean yourself trying to demean others and your logic is fallible.

71 Why Post,

You assume that I clicked the link about her album on CL download and listened! Don’t assume!! When you don’t like someone, you just keep it moving…well does that mean that you like me? Cause you done hit your brakes and shifted into neutral! I never said she was all F’ed up…I just said she can’t sang and she got a pass from her brothers success! Just like Ray J. and Donny Osmond! hehe!

Go check out Janet dressed like Michael “Off the Wall”! She’s still cashing in on others success! And, there should have been backlash from the superbowl. She exposed herself on national TV! We’re talking about Janet here…not Justin! He kept his clothes on! She don’t deserve a pass, because she’s been trying to strip for the camera and the kids all of her fake career.
