"A PASSION FOR DISCIPLINE" by Janet "It's the idea that unifies the songs on this record. As a concept, and even a lifestyle, discipline goes extremely deep. It can be applied to so much about ourselves. In my case,I see it as one of defining aspects of my character. Discipline was there for me from the start. But it was not until this record that I began to understand its full meaning. "In putting Discipline out front -- as both the title of the album and title of a song about sexual surrender -- I wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters. That meant working with producers like Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Ne-Yo, whose songs spoke to the immediacy of my emotions. Like all my records, this one, whether intentional or not, has autobiographical roots. It's difficult for me to work any other way. I don't feel it, if I don't believe it, I can't sing it. "So Discipline, as a storyline, begins in my childhood which someone could see as a classic study in discipline. Discipline was part of a family culture that I absorbed. I was born with it. "I also believe that discipline has given me the confidence to jump out of the nest. When L.A. Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam, and I discussed co-executive producing this record, we both agreed that the feeling had to adventuresome and fresh. I was interested in exploring musical scenarios--some exotic, many erotic, but all deeply emotional. "I wanted to push the envelope. And I'm glad that Discipline, both as a song and an album, does just that."

Summary: flyer than a pelican
Comment: Janet has had some tough recent years. Her last few albums haven't had much impact, due to her sadly being defined by the superbowl incident and her weight fluctuation. She does not get the credit she deserves. I do think she hasn't really been putting her all into these last few albums, but at her weakest she is still in the game creating records that are better than all the other crap out there. Discipline is a little experimental, a little nasty, very gay, and overall a good disc. But she can do better, which I think is why so many people are having problems with her. Due to her using all these different producers, the overall album just seems very calculated, but still enjoyable. Discipline has your upbeat stuff (Feedback, luv, 2nite, rock with u) and cheese-drenched ballads (greatest x, never letchu go, can't be good). There is the requisite track featuring missy elliot, a track where janet tells her daddy to whip her, and a perversely so-bad-it's-good song called "so much betta" which utilizes a daft punk sample. This is classic janet jackson, updated for 2008...who was maybe smoking something while she recorded the album. Don't be jealous.

Summary: Ms. Jackson if Ya NASTY!!
Comment: I listened to Discipline more than Damita Jo! This album has a lot of hard dance beats that had me feeling sultry (lol). I think this album should have received my recognition than it did. I would also love to see JJ make more mature adult sounds like she has done in the past because I really miss her more mid tempo songs too. But all in all the album had alot of club songs that were HOTT.

Summary: Janet Jackson "Disciplin"
Comment: Singer, Actress and Television Performer Janet Jackson's latest studio album "Discipline" reached #1 on The Billboard 200 Album Chart and has sold 415,000 copies in the US according to Nielsen SoundScan (9-19-08) My first memory of Janet is on her 1976/1977 Variety show with her brother's Michael Jackson, and The Jacksons. She has had a long career, just as Hillary has. Interestingly, In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (hillaryclintonforum, The Denver Group)

Summary: Still Can't Understand What Your'e Saying When Singing
Comment: Janet...If you read these comments, please take the public's advice, we are the people who pay your bills, and maintain your lifestyle. If you make another album, let your man Jermaine Dupri, hook you up. You should have guest appearances of top rappers, and singers for collaborations. You should make a more R&B album like you did with Damita Jo, and 1993's album janet.
Also trying singing in a language the public can understand. A lot of people don't like your music, because we can't understand what you are singing about.
I still love you, but please change your style, bite off of Rhianna, Ciara, and Beyonce. These new school diva's took your spot. Hang it up!!!

Summary: janet is awesome
Comment: At first I only liked a handful of songs but the more I listened the more those songs are the songs I love and I just like the rest. I am actually going to pay to go to concert (non-cheap seats too) and it is to see her and hear her old and NEW stuff. If LL Cool J opens that would really be icing on the cake.
