Posted July 17, 20204 yr Janet Jackson With music by our side to break the color lines, let's work together to improve our way of life. Join voices in protest, to social injustice, a generation full of courage. Come forth with me. People of the world today, we are a part of the rhythm nation. 30 years ago, Janet Jackson had a vision of a world united by music. The nation let rhythms guide them to break down social injustices. Today, that nation is still a very distant dream. In this contest, we will celebrate the illustrious career of this hugely influential legend and create our own nation of love and respect. Let's take control as the unbreakable Janet takes centre stage, behind the velvet rope. Discuss choices for Janet Jackson in AF idol here *.* :cheer:
July 17, 20204 yr Huge huge fan of Love Will Never Do, Black Cat, Escapade, I Get Lonely and When I Think of You WITOY is deffo one that sums up Janet for me
July 17, 20204 yr This Time simply must have its chance to shine! Plus please find room for If, it's my favourite of hers :wub:
July 17, 20204 yr To start with.. hmm.. 'Rhythm Nation' might actually be a solid start? I know very little of JJ though (someone who I've always been meaning to check more out of and probs will after my Madonna listen throughs.. maybe?), so you may be saving that or using that later or something. I just thought it was familiar enough to pull in the casuals that may be like "Idk this... wait I DO! Woo a bop" etc.. saving some bigger hits for later on down the line? This or maybe 'Feedback'?
July 17, 20204 yr Author So this has been EXTREMELY hard to plan for given just how many songs she has to choose from! Basically for the free choice rounds I want to choose between: That's the Way Love Goes, What Have You Done For Me Lately, I Get Lonely, Got 'til It's Gone, Again, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, If, When I Think of You, Doesn't Really Matter... And probably countless more :drama: I do think it's between What Have You Done For Me Lately and That's The Way Love Goes for the first round though. WHYDFML was her first BIG single so maybe that's a good place to start, but then which do we think will appeal more to the masses? (Both can very likely be sent in this contest but which one do we START with?) I am thinking TTWLG will attract more love?
July 17, 20204 yr both are FAB! I think i’d start with WHYDFML just because it’s more upbeat and possibly memorable?
July 17, 20204 yr I genuinely thought about TTWLG being a possibility in this round, but was unsure how much casual votes it'd attract due to how chill and smooth it is. I can't remember WHYDFML off the top off my head, but I know I'd recognise it and I think I remember liking it (a lot)!
July 17, 20204 yr Author For ~certain~ reasons, it'll be helpful to know people's top 3 picks from this list: What Have You Done For Me Lately, That's The Way Love Goes, I Get Lonely, Again, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, If, Doesn't Really Matter :thinking:
July 17, 20204 yr WHDFML TTWLG If Personally^ Together Again is another one I hope gets it’s chance to shine
July 17, 20204 yr My top three from those would be WHYDFML, TTWLG & DRM from that list, Bal!! Janet is the one I'm most excited for in this competition. I've been in a real mood for going through her stuff recently and this is the perfect opportunity to make some new discoveries. I do hope she can challenge for the win.

July 17, 20204 yr For ~certain~ reasons, it'll be helpful to know people's top 3 picks from this list: What Have You Done For Me Lately, That's The Way Love Goes, I Get Lonely, Again, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, If, Doesn't Really Matter :thinking: Bolded my picks! In that exact order actually.
July 17, 20204 yr I feel like is a perfect chance to start with 'If' since it's less known (out of WHYDFML, Rhythm Nation and TTWLG which of course you can use all these later and still be successful) but it's an excellent song. 1. If 2. TTWLG 3. Rhythm Nation
July 17, 20204 yr 1. What Have You Done for Me Lately 2. Rhythm Nation 3. Miss You Much (Closely followed by If)
July 18, 20204 yr for me 1 That's the way love goes 2 Miss you much 3 What have you done for me Lately my #1 Janet is Let's wait awhile, her best ballad, not good for R1, but would be perfect if there is a ballad round That's the way love goes should be good for R1 I reckon
July 20, 20204 yr Author Next round is ALBUM CLOSERS! my favourites for this round are: Better Days / Gon' B Alright / Someday Is Tonight
July 20, 20204 yr I'll have a listen to those asap and see what I think! Well done to Janet Jacket for doing well in Round 1 :wub: Cleaning Time is that bop! #Wall
