Janet Jackson - "Love Scene (Ooh Baby)"

[MiniMusic]

Lifted from her All for You album; this might be literally the least talked about Janet song in her discography. It's generally regarded as the worst song from the album and maybe one of the worst of her career but lately I've been really getting into it. It's a vibe song; sensual and moody. There's not much going on in the song besides her moaning the chorus and the understated but effective production- but I think it gets the job done for the sole purpose that the song was made to create an atmosphere. I'm not even so sure it can be regarded as a song; more like a drawn out interlude, but the fact that the song is called "Love Scene" makes its purpose clear. It's supposed to set the scene and I think the mood it captures is perfect. I can totally understand the disdain toward it but to me it's special and is one of her more sensual, ready-to-go baby making tracks.

It's better than "When We Oooo" and "Would You Mind". She did way better sex ballads on her previous few albums, but I didn't really think this song was as bad as many fans did.

I thought it went with the other sex songs that made up that series on the album. It really is quite the mood-setter. It's very sensual. I do like "Would You Mind", but the spoken part at the end, while funny, seemed so out of place.

Hmm. Well I think both those tracks are better than "Love Scene" but "China Love" is the best out of the sex suite of the album.

I think "When We Ooo" and "China Love" are superior to "Love Scene", too. I do like the mellow groove and silkiness of "Love Scene", though.

I like all of the "sex songs" from that album individually, but when they're right next to each other it sounds like one long song. It's basically a sex suite.

If one of them stands out to me, it's "China Love."

I think the AFY album had her best love making songs. But that's the issue most people don't understand: these song are about MAKING LOVE and HAVING SEX!

These are the kind of songs that set the mood right, especially when you're with your lover/significant other. Trust me, the love making songs from this album will work WONDERS if you're trying to get close to that special someone or make a baby! ;)

"Love Scene" is so tranquil and peaceful, the harmonies are on point, and Janet sounds like she's just finished having the best intercourse ever. You really have to get into the mindset when listening to this song, otherwise you'll dislike it...and if you do, you probably need to get laid!

"When We Ooo" is my JAM. "China Love" is a GEM. "Would You Mind"...I can't listen to that song, it arouses me too much.

Totally agreed. The large problem with these tracks (and the album) is that they are all sequenced TOGETHER and right in the beginning of the album? 3 tracks in and there's a 4-track sex suite? It's just too much. Whoever finalized the tracklisting needs to be shot!

Having them spread throughout the album wouldn't have made sense IMO. Maybe one or two more upbeat tracks should have come before it, but these songs are in the middle and it's perfect, to me.

Oh hell no it drags the album down quick. I think "When We Oooo" and "China Love" could have stayed where they are and then "Love Scene" and "Would You Mind" could have been placed together somewhere else towards the end.

I would have been fine with the sex suite if they put it at the end of the album like some of her other albums. Putting all of them in the middle killed the momentum.

Now it's irrelevant though. We can arrange the album however we want.

[Ling-Ling]

I don't like this. Just drags along and it just isn't sexy.

Do not get me started on that four track slog through her vagina. Completely killed an already weak album. And I love Janet's sex jams, but none of these were good. TVR was the last album where she had genuinely amazing sex jams. The two at the end of 20 YO are okay too IMO.

[Relaxing Cup]

My least favorite sex jam from AFY.

I do love when she says when you're fucking me.. though

[wavey.]

Is she fucking on this one too?

Agreed. Would you mind is my least favorite of the four.
