she really looked like an fhm model for a while, didn't she.
I'm assuming we're not talking about Khia here...she really looked like an fhm model for a while, didn't she.
Because that couplet is more iconic than Megan & Cardi's entire careers.why has this bitch been so bitter about this sorry excuse of a SONG, let alone a SINGLE by Miss Janft? It's not like her verses were life-altering or added much to the track anyway and it flopped in the end, does she want some royalties?
Is YA
Is YA HUNGRAY
I've got ya I got ya, I got ya
licking on my body ody ody like it's something to EAT (Something to EAT)
So you can
Act bad
Don't hurt me

Get me So EXcited
I mean, neither Megan nor Cardi should be shaking!

I adore Son of a Gun and Doesn’t Really Matter, as much as they don’t seem universally loved.
nothing really matters i find pretty inconsequential, kyoko.
Doesn’t Really Matter is a delightful bit of fluff and I’ve never understood why it’s so widely disliked.
It’s one long whispery mumble, has poor music production, and the “BebeBebes” are ridiculously cringeworthy. I also loathe the video. It was the first time her video choreography looked like something meant for a second rate boy band.
Whoops Now belongs nowhere near that list of dirgeDoesn't Really Matter PALES in the hateration dept. for me compared to true horrors like Call On Me and Whoops Now. I ironically stan So Excited but it's a horrible tuneless mess, No Sleep was just BORING, the same goes for Burnitup, Just a Little While, Luv, Can't Be Good; they're just THERE, they're so boring and so nothingy.
No Sleep was just BORING
Janet performing this at the Oscars is kind of like Britney loons obsessing over the "Everytime" SNL performance
45. "Luv"
Discipline (2008)
US #102
Got me caught in a wreck
I'm a mess
This was pegged as a single before Def Jam abandoned the Discipline project. It's a bouncy Darkchild production that sounds VERY 2008 these days but Janet's harmonies, and the melody elevates it. It would've been perfect that summer as a follow-up to "Feedback", but alas it wasn't meant to be.
44. "You"
The Velvet Rope (1997)
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointing the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
This is sort of an enigma in Janet's discography. It's slick, and the trip hop production combined with the MJ-esque vocal gives this a special mystique. Janet apparently re-did all the ad-libs to make it sound less reminiscent of MJ but there is still a distinct air about it that makes it sound like it could have came off the HIStory or Blood on the Dance Floor albums. It is based on a sample of "The Cisco Kid".
Janet performed it for the first time in over 20 years at her Las Vegas residency.
43. "Escapade"
Rhythm Nation (1989)
US #1, UK #17
Lookin' shy you caught my eye
Thought you'd want to hang for a while
Inspired by 60s Motown pop, it has a the effervescence of an early Jackson 5 single and has become somewhat of a signature Janet moment. It's a bit TOO sweet for my tastes, and I think there are other Janet singles that do what it does better ("When I Think of You") but this is undeniable feel good pop, and has certainly endured better than most of her other hits in the public's consciousness. Does anyone know why this and all the other Rhythm Nation singles flopped in the UK?
