Based on the negative reactions from the new Janet single, I decided to compare her song to Madonna's "American Life," since that didn't get the best of responses when it was released.
I think I'll go with Janet on this one only because I like the melody better.

The same comparison came up in my head when I first heard Janet's song... anyway, I voted for Janet.

American Life. It had a few redeemable qualities.

Lol, Janet's new single may be a disappointment, but it's not that bad! "American Life" is just plain horrible.

I voted for "American Life" because I have not heard "Love Me For A Little While" enough to like it alot. I hated AL but I downloaded the remix and it got me to appreciate the song alot more. I am not even sure why this song tanked it was pretty good

I actually like Janet's new song, which is surprising. I didn't like "American Life" that much.

American Life, by leaps and bounds. Janet's been a completely worthless pop artist for just about all of the last decade.

I'm not sure about the Janet being worthless part, but I'm voting for Madonna here as well.

American Life, by leaps and bounds. Janet's been a completely worthless pop artist for just about all of the last decade. \ Well janet has never been a comlpete pop artist. She is versatile, and not 1 format like Madonna. Chack Janets best r&b song Grammy, or her best rock performance grammy nomination, or her best dance record grammy win. Or check out her numerous Soul Train Awards, or her numerous soul/R&b AMA awards or any of the other NUMEROUS amounts of awards she has won for non pop categories. She has fans of all races, colors, countries, she has pop fans, r&b fans, Urban fans, peopel who loveher for being able to deliever MORE then a "pop" star. So you are right she isnt a pop artist she is so much more. R&b,Pop, Rock, Soul, Dance. She doesnt LIMIT her self and her capabilities to being a washed up pop singer. you name it Janet has done it and done it Better::) Janet all Day |

I said janet is not a 1 format artist like Madonna. MEANING Madonna gets primarily played on POP stations, 1 format just like Britney. Janet can appeal to pop, rhythic, urban and urban Ac. Did u forget "all for you" was the fastest single to be added to ALL formats?? thats something Madonna CANT DO. I said NOTHING about producers. i like Madonna she is one of my favorites, I have no problem with her or her musi, so its not like I am anti-Madonna. i even bought REMIXED AND REVISITED...now how many of you are the 80,000 that went and bought that lol. But my problem is some1 tryin to diss Janet because she has not been catering to POP because she has a much wider audience then the gay white male dance/pop crowd, which is Madonnas primary fan base. |

I guess that's why American Life the single and album sounded so terrible. Madonna trying to rap? Get serious.  Madonna trying to rap? That says it all right there. You know its terrible before you even hear the song. I wish Madonna used the producers that know how to produce her music properly and tell her the truth when something sounds like a HOT MESS(i.e. American Life). Sorry to break this to you guys but Madonna is not a hip-hop artist and its pointless for her to even be trying to rap. Ohh and on another note her voice is nothing to be cherished so she can stop with the acoustic stuff because her voice isn't good enough for her music to stand up on its own accoustically. |

Madonna needs to work with WHOEVER produced ME Against the music. And I am willing to bet she will be working with them soon cause thats the biggest hit her name was on since Die another day.....talk about some one who is beginning to be a worthless pop star |

She doesn't work with the same producerz twice remember? She's got to have a different sound with every album. Whatever happened to making A+ pop music like Die Another Day? Madonna needs to focus on making good music rather than re-inventing herself with every album. Re-invention = exploiting the art of others in order to make a quick buck. |

Adonis, that wasn't my point. I was pointing out that Janet was the one who had stuck with 1 format (Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis since the Control days, 18 years ago) and Madonna has usually switched collaborators after 1 or 2 albums. It had nothing to do with American Life the album or the song. Get over it! I wasn't trying to bash Janet, CHILL FOR GOD SAKES. Also, Madonna wasn't even trying to go all hip hop with the American Life song. She's not daft. Yeah, the song sucked, and yeah, the rap was kinda stupid, but it was all experimental. If Madonna really was trying to go hip hop AT ALL with American Life, you can bet I wouldn't have even touched that album. Additionally, I don't know why you're picking on Madonna's voice. Janet's voice sucks too, but she still makes great music! It's really not about your voice anymore. If that were true, then Whitney Houston would have gotten rave reviews for Just Whitney. |

Janet DID cater to all types of people with the 2 singles she released. And you're right, Madonna's fanbase is limited. But think about it, how else could she do it? She is, after all, a dance pop artist. She's caucasian female, who sings pop music. Lots of people classify Janet as an R&B artist, and its true! She is an R&B/Pop/Rock/Dance artist. Thats what she has to her advantage. Madonna's NEVER had a label stuck on her other than dance popstar, that hasn't changed since she released Everybody back in '82. It's been the same since the beginning, so I don't see your point. But about the people dissing Janet...well, I guess you're gonna have to get used to that. People bash artists left and right here. It can get you angry, but you're just gonna have to deal with. Also, think about it. Janet and Madonna probably couldn't care less about some people writing about how much their song sucked on some dumb chart forum. They've got much more important things to think about. |
