July 20, 20204 yr Author Better Days ~ All For You Someday Is Tonight ~ Rhythm Nation Gon' B Alright ~ Unbreakable I think 'Better Days' is my favourite :wub: That would be my ranking ^ Her actual best album closer is 'Special' off The Velvet Rope album but it only comes tagged with a hidden track after it (making it two songs at about 7 minutes of length). I am not sure how to just find 'Special' on its own as a track because that would be a stunning choice :cry: If anyone can find a Spotify link for it on its own, that would be great!
July 20, 20204 yr Author If we send 'Special' would people be willing to skip after 3min 22sec to avoid the hidden track? :unsure: Probably too messy to go for that, so maybe I'll just stick to one of the ones mentioned previously lol.
July 21, 20204 yr I've not heard any of those before. On first impression 'Better Days' is my favourite of the 3!
July 23, 20204 yr Having never heard the All for You album before, I was really surprised by Better Days! It wasn't a vibe that I was expecting, based on the singles that were released off of it. It's a great song! I seriously need to find a moment to delve into Janet's albums.
July 23, 20204 yr Round 1 was a misfire for me but 'Better Days' is already providing me a great discovery which is what I was hoping for from Janet being included in this as I know she is a legendary artist but I've just barely heard anything from her. Keep it up xo
July 23, 20204 yr Author That's great to hear Bré and Jay! :heart: With the first track, I had to send 'What Have You Done For Me Lately' because it was her first hit and so it seemed fitting to open up the contest with that. I am hoping to share a wide array of her material spanning across the decades to showcase how much material she has :kink: The response to 'Better Days' has been incredible and so pleasing to see! Hoping you (and others) make some other discoveries across the rounds :D
July 23, 20204 yr Author We have a few options for the next round! Help is needed to decide for: Round 3: COLLABORATIONS / REMIXES - Scream (with Michael Jackson) - Made For Now (feat. Daddy Yankee) - No Sleeep (feat. J. Cole) - Call On Me (feat. Nelly) - BURNITUP! (feat. Missy Elliott) - I Get Lonely Remix (feat. Blackstreet) I think we need to go MODERN for this to showcase what she is up to more recently. I am thinking her most recent single, Made For Now!? :o
July 23, 20204 yr Author Scream! :o That seems an obvious choice, but then I sort of want to not send the obvious ones and go for new discoveries for people so I am torn :( Check out 'Made For Now' and see what you think :cry:
July 23, 20204 yr I love Made for Now (it reached #1 in my personal chart!) and it's perfect for the summer :wub: Personally I would prefer it to be sent over Scream!
July 23, 20204 yr YES! I love Made For Now :wub: I didn't even think of that and was thinking Son Of A Gun!
July 23, 20204 yr Author Don't make this even harder Dandy :snif: which of the two above would you rather was sent?
July 23, 20204 yr Don't make this even harder Dandy :snif: which of the two above would you rather was sent? Probably Scream but neither are my absolute faves from her - but neither are awful either!
July 23, 20204 yr I feel like there are a lot more options than these! How about the single/video mix of 'Black Cat' :wub: I never found 'Made For Now' particularly impressive, and it kind of feels like a waste to send a recent trend-latching song when she has decades of music to choose from, though if people like it enough then by all means don't listen to me. I think 'Scream' is much stronger but not near either artist's best.
July 23, 20204 yr Scream is amazing in every shape and form to be honest :wub: Another one that I have a soft spot for is 'Best Thing In Life Are Free' w/ Luther Vandross :wub: Also 'So Excited' with queen Khia :kink:
