Janets always been someone for me who I’ve never fully gotten tbh aside from a few tracks.
Like it’s her music itself though what doesn’t grab me I can’t deny her talents as a show woman or deny she made/makes strong visuals it’s just the actual songs on their own sort of go over my head. I feel similar to Beyoncé and it’s strange that I’ve noticed that Janet in some ways was like the OG Bey. I think it could be that Janet wasn’t a Major vocalist or an artist who’s material was heavily pop which may be why I wasn’t as invested in her as I was other females who were around the same time she was. I will say Together Again is stunning and is one of my favourite all time tracks. It’s interesting Janet was huge in the US though yet in the UK she didn’t have the same level of success. I think an average UK person would be pushed to name say 5 Janet songs off the top of their head but everyone would know who she was by face. |

Your two favourite Britney albums contain Janet influences!
 Janet was phenomenally successful in the US, and while she was still a big star in the UK she was usually more successful with albums than singles. For instance 'Rhythm Nation 1814' reached #4 and certified Platinum, even though none of the singles from it went Top 10. She hit her commercial peak with 'janet.' reaching #1, and after that her 'Design of a Decade 1986/1996' collection was an even bigger seller!  Amazing to see Janet joining Mariah in the US iTunes Top 10! I really need to get around to listening to all of Janet's albums - I've only heard Control, The Velvet Rope and Unbreakable in full.

Happy 2nd birthday to 'Made For Now'!  Janet has celebrated this anniversary on her social media with a fun-filled BTS video: What are your thoughts on the song, two years on? |

Some of you may have seen these Madonna fan made covers (in comic style). http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=229761 ~ They are an absolute TREAT. Very, very happy that the artist behind these has decided to create the same for JANET's albums
Here is the first in the instalment: 'Control' |

Yess!! Been waiting so long for these ones and the first installment doesn't disappoint! The next three will be rich with possible material.
For those who don't know, references to each song are included in these pieces - can you spot them all? |

Agreed! Absolutely love it, but it doesn’t really fit the album for me either.
Can’t WAIT to see the Velvet Rope one 😍 I’ve been listening to it a lot recently and I’ll just never tire of it. In my top 5 albums of all time ❤️ |

Also makes me realise how much we need new music from her soon.
Hopefully the album will be out next year – I’m sure it would’ve been out this year if it wasn’t for the pandemic 🙃 |

Just played Discipline for the first time in full in years, the first half still sounds great!
Also been obsessed with the Janet album after finding the vinyl on Amazon for cheaper than usual, 'This Time' is so good

This is a STUNNING piece of art. The full image is great. Took a second glance to realise it wasn't some hybrid Octopus/tentacle-Janet It doesn't really give me the vibes of the album that I personally get when listening to it, but can't fault it beyond that. |

I don't immediately think of the album either from the graphics but I agree it's a good composition. I wonder if the artist is as familiar with Janet's work as he was with the discographies of Madonna and Björk as he doesn't seem to be including as many of the hints towards tracks as he did with those.
