The Official Janet Jackson Thread

[explodingbird]

Yes, from the highly-dysfunctional and well-known, controversial Jackson family comes oversexed little sister Janet. Known for her steamy (downright smutty) lyrics, smooth, sexy dance moves - and, oh, not to mention her overexposure in 2004 - she once was an R&B/pop icon dabbling in energized dance music, highly sexualized ballads, and social commentary (Rhythm Nation, anyone?) up the wazoo.

Having just turned 40 this year, and having released her latest album, 20 Y.O. - a reference to the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough album Control AND to how old she feels - her star has dimmed quite a bit, but she's still there, having fun and making music we can enjoy or make fun of.

Any fans among us? Any non-fans with something to say about her anyway? All opinions are welcome.

Discussion... go.
