And then she does one album without them and gets banished to legacy act limbo.

A shame tbh. They're still letting the should-have-been-flashes-in-the-pan-by-all-laws-of sense pop princesses form 1999 kick around, and even more tragically, Avril is still legally allowed to release music, but legends like Janet are relegated to once upon a time status.

Rhythm Nation? When will your favs?

NOT DJWS trolling

And then her brother just cut-and-pastes RN 2 years later to make Dangerous. A mess.

I use it but it's better as the Sonic 3 soundtrack tbh.

It also has Heal The World on it

 

[Marmaladefire]

Best as the Space Channel 5 soundtrack. I sincerely believe you can win the game in one go if you overlay a Space Michael soundtrack.

Awful to even think about. ;_____;


Speaking of Janet, let's just spare a moment for how flawless videography?

Love Will Never Do -- To this day I don't think any pop starlet has managed to look more radiant than Janet does in this video. Janet is simply breathtaking in every scene and the video is gorgeously shot. So editorial. And young Djimon Honsou...hnnnnggg

Runaway - one of my favorite Janet songs and probably my favorite video, strangely enough. Demonstrated her ability to step outside of your typical "glamour" videos and into something truly iconic and conceptual. She became pop royalty with videos like this.

The Pleasure Principle - What needs to be said? Redefined the very idea of choreography in a music video for untold generations to come. Every pop starlet who does choreo in their music videos would go on to list this video as inspiration.

Anytime, Anyplace - I don't think a sexier video exists in the world. Point blank period.



And for good measure, let's watch her slay the VMAs.

And let's not forget the incredible graphic design on the Runaway cover:

Said it before ill say it again. None of your faves could ever top If. None

 

[Icicle]

A fucking MESS.

More than half of my posts in PopGAF are about Janet, and every single one of them is paid absolute dust.

Someone declares today "Velvet Rope" throwback day and suddenly ya'll come out of the woodwork to shower praise on her?

Not going to lie, fuming a bit over here.

I suppose I shouldn't complain as long as Janet is getting the respect she deserves (even if it's only for one page).

Awww sis! You know I <3<3<3 you for holding down Janet. *.*

 

[botty]

So this girl sang Roar, and it sounds really good deconstructed.

Roy, I am gonna need you to "Roarororor."

 

[cory64]

Cheer up, Icicle. She is a Legend and it does not matter if PG puts her on the back burner most of the time.


editL That cover's nice.

Katy, ha power.

Design of a Decade is second only to the Immaculate Collection as far as hits compilations go.

Oh, Icicle is here...

Thanks, sis. I appreciate your kind words, but sometimes it doesn't feel like it (not specifically you, but PopGAF in general).

I'll try. Sometimes I just wonder if it's worth it for me to post stuff, because nobody ever seems to read or respond to what I write. If I write something about Janet, Brandy, Ciara, Crystal Kay, or some of my other faves, my post is almost guaranteed to be ignored.

It's just frustrating that nobody seems to care about some of the people I really enjoy. I don't see the point in having a "discussion" that begins and ends with me.

I really enjoy this community, but I find it quite depressing that nobody cares about what you have to say unless it's about Beyonce, Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift or Lana Del Ray. Occasionally discussion will temporarily include Britney, Christina, Mariah, Kelly, Ellie, and a select few other artists, but those tangents are few and short-lived. Anyone else besides an act that just released a new song or album is basically a waste of time.

[botty]

I read all your post, Icicle. I don't respond to all of them, though. I pay close attention to your CK tea, but I do worry if anything will come of it in the end.

 

[cory64]

hahah this old tea I found browsing my tumblr: http://timecables.tumblr.com/post/4078250947/funtastic-fact-attack

 

[Rocket Punch]

OK, everybody say something nice about Janet for our sister Icicle.

I'll start: She's Michael's sister.

Spoiler

Rhythm Nation 1814 still gives me EVER LASTING LYFE.

I love your CK posts :/ I aways want to compliment them with posts about her BFF Beni because tbh I go in hard for Beni too and it is always wasted unless I go to Arama. But then I have to mingle with the trash that hang around there.

I mostly listen to indie (indie~) acts with Japanese supplements so I feel the pain.

I feel bad, because I honestly should engage your posts more. I don't know why I don't - I think your taste is absolutely flawless. ;____;

I <3 all of my PopGAF sistren, but you and I especially click over a mutual love for 90s R&B divas, AND Crystal Kay (who I'm definitely checking for).

That, and your clockings are the stuff of legend....and a little scary.

that's basically the nature of pop as a genre and pop culture in general, tho. If your fave isn't what's happening, then oh well. *shrug*

luckily for me, my fave STAYS keeping nearly every other stanbase mad, and remains relevanT through flop singles/albums what have you. What kind of unbreakable flower?

Gaga's not brave enough to bring back Miami bass.
But I'm hoping Miley is.

 

[Soulscribe]

Damn, so that "pop culture was in art" snippet actually IS in Applause. Fuuuuuck. I wasn't expecting that. I seriously thought it was a separate snippet of the title song.

I uh... really hope I don't dislike the song. lol


EDIT: Applause still trending worldwide on Twitter. People are thirsTy

Going by the snippets let me see if I can patch this song together

i stand here waiting
for you to bang the gong
to crash the critic saying:
is it right or is it wrong?

If only Fame came in IV form could I bare being away from you.
I live for the way you cheer and scream for me.

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

Give me that thing that I love
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

i overheard your theory
'nostalgia's for geeks!'
i guess sir,if you say so
some of us just like to read

[................]
Pop culture was in Art
now ART's in POP culture,
in me!

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

Give me that thing that I love

I missed all the Janet praise. I was just listening to Janet and its so damn good. Not to mention that there aren't music videos like "If" anymore or that people don't release songs like "Anytime, Anyplace" as singles anymore. Janet, her power.
