loved the whole jackson family, wished all fans could get along because I know janet and the rest of them wants us to rejoice in the success that all of the jackson family members have accomplished. :)
@gawdesanket It's unfortunate that you hate a class of people who you don't really know anything about. You're restricting a lot of beautiful individuals out there who will care for your well being. You don't know these people's stories, so don't judge. Because your opinion is ignorant and lead without proper investigation, it will not be tolerated.
Musically, this is probably her most adventurous song. So much going on it. Love the horn scratching at 1:56, that quinitet of keyboard notes at 3:12. Fantastic song.
" We was on a airplane, sitting next to this guy, he said he wasn't too shy, and he seemed real nice, until I found out he was gay, that's so not mellow" Man I love Janet. Man I am so glad The Velvet Rope made it onto Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, as did janet. and Rhythm Nation, I think Control was on there too, but I am 100% sure. But anyway, from 1986 to 2001, Janet released 5 of the greatest albums of all time, All for You is a classic IMO
@wrightbrooks i feel the same way, i wish she would release another classic and blow rihanna and beyonce out the water, she invented the singer~dancer persona, if it wasnt for janet, beyonce would be just standing in front of a microphone with no idea wat to do lol
@luv4uification u not lying!! It is her most personal to date BUT......at this point i feel like she should make another personal album now that she's experienced more in her life such as death(michael) and scrutiny(superbowl) and othe past relationships(jermaine). I betchu it would be Amazing just like the velvet rope but for 2011.
@RomanRoyale Yea in retrospect i guess u can say that....and woah u taking in back with Josephine baker lol but as far as the last quarter century Janet has been the Dance Icon. And who do you think the stars of THIS generation imulate and our influenced more Janet or Josephine.
@jerseykb1@RomanRoyale yeah Tina Turner was really the 1st female entertainer to really dance and sing, but Janet came with this whole new revolutionary style of dancing that shaped contemporary pop/R&B female entertainers into what we are familiar with today. =)
@djay1814jj yea you cant really compare Tina and Janet i was just confused as to why people feel the need to attack the newer artist or drag their names through the mud just because they feel they have to.Love all of my talented entertainers im not gonna diss one in sake of another.Thats childish.The artist work and stage craft should speak for them alone.
i LOVE this song .. because she speaks the truth . It's so wrong that people have to judge someone because of there sexual choice . I will accept someone for who they are .. and im glad Jan feel's the same way , that's why i love her SO much :)
when i'm feeling down on myself and i feel that the world is ready to chew me to bits, i find strength and solidarity with this song. ms. janet, i love you for being gay friendly or a gay advocate before it became the trendy thing to do.
When I first read the lyrics I was skeptical of the song but then i listened to it and fell in love with it.. The song is all about being comfortable in your own skin and acceting yourself..
There was nothing about this cd I didn't like...It had some of everything on it..I think I wore it out and had to repurchase it three times...the last time I just kept it in the wrapper and played the wore out ones...Janet has always embraced the gay community, she and Madonna and has been done so much for AIDS in the gay community. There should be no one in the entertainment community who shouldn't embrace the gay because they make up a large percentage of that industry and the world.
See, I've listened to this dozens of times when I was a kid (I was eight when this came out in 1997) and I always liked it, but now that I'm older...and gay...it really speaks to me.
@Tommy555444 If more guys were like u the world would be way cooler, I know a guy who feels ppl have the right to kill gay ppl coz its all about pleasure and no kids can come from it, but its ok to watch porn and go to strip clubs thou
I think this song would've been nice on the Rhythm Nation album too!!!! I mean, listen to this funky old school beat, reminds me of "Alright" and "Rhythm Nation"..........Yay Janet : D
It's so weird.. The last time I heard this song, I was 6 and didn't know what it meant, just loved the sound. I'm 19 and I LOVE this song now. It appeals to me a lot more. I adore Janet.
you gotta love this song janet didn't care what the lable said she was gonnna keep songs like this and tonights the light on her cd she is so brilliant and strong minded thats why this album is the best
