Reviews & Discussion

Review by Hannes84 Sep 08, 2008
Janet Jackson is probably the only artist who still delivers classy rnb music. Other artists who were known for good quality music have already sold out their musical genres and tried anything to make more money. Janet, no. The same class her music had back in 1994 is still present on her albums today. Especially when talking about ballads and slow jams.

However, in general her career has taken a fall and her image nearly destroyed. The last time she actually had something real to say, something real to deliver was in 1997. While her music speaks for itself, he artist image has faded.
Review by Crijevo Jul 09, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
Now that she turns out to be a busty clone of her brother and similarities are more evident day by day - Janet Jackson had the privilege to step out of her family's shadows and cut a solid album in 'Rhythm Nation 1814' mixing bizarre cut-up interludes with stereotypical american electro-beats. Now Janet is too much around boob-scandals and exhibitionist sexy (read plastic) image which suits most of the r'n'b side to last decade of the 20th century.
