Here it is, it's called "Love Me For a Little While." It's very different from everything else she has done.

Janet, Hilary called..she wants her song back.

good god that songs a load of ****.

JANET RULES!!

will post my responce to the song after I hear it. I just hope her new cd is better than All For You was. AFY had some alright songs, but it was way too "sex-heavy", 30 mins straight of the album are back to back to back to back to back "baby making songs" (as Janet put it)

I like it.

Not on par with the material off Rhythm Nation or The Velvet Rope, but it is catchy. And I think an r&b artist as big as Janet releasing a leadoff single that doesn't either have a rapper OR sound like your typical r&b crap is a good thing. It'd help save the industry because I think just about everyone is tired of the wave of hip hop-tainted pop and r&b that has been plaguing airwaves for about 3 years now.

no. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/attachment.php?s=&postid=1269769

It is a good song. What album is it going to be off? If it weren't for SBTB Geek, I wouldn't have known who it was, but I would have thought the voice was familiar. And how does that song sound like Hilary Duff's song?

If you think thats a good song, I feel so sorry for you.

well, you've said before you are NOT a "diva fan". So don't expect to like a Janet Jackson song if not. Same reason why I don't like hip hop, so you can't expect me to like Jay-Z or Ludacris

The song is much better than anything from All For You.

No, I think she has some catchy songs. That song is just a hot mess. Not something someone with her talent should be putting out.

If it's been "plaguing" the airwaves for 3 years, one would assume that NOT just about everyone is tired of it. There's an audience for everything, you know.

Haven't heard it. I guess I have to wait tell the Superbowl to hear it. Anyway, since her last album "All for You", there have been alot of good songs from young R&B artist such as Beyonce and Ashanti. I'd be interested to hear how the vetern Miss Jackson responds to her younger counterparts.

This new album has a tough challenge to top albums such as "Dangerously in Love."

it's gotten to the point that I know a lot of people who have actually been emailing stations telling them to ease up. Teen pop plagued radio about 3 years too, who WASN'T sick of The Backstreet Boys by the time they'd been out that long? Yes, Outkast has the #1 album right now, but HEY YA is definately not your stereotypical hip hop song like what's been on the charts since J. Lo called up Ja Rule.

Plus, I also posted an article here a week or two back that top 40 radio stations are beginning to realize they've taken this hip hop craze too far and that they're losing listeners big time. R&B/Hip hop will always play a part of top 40 music, like it's always have, but the days of it monopolizing the singles charts are numbered because programmers are beginning to realize how much they've overplayed it.

No one genre of music can monopolize radio for too long before people scream "enough already". Most recently it was teen pop, then it was grunge before that, then dance-pop before that, then disco before that.... Once radio shafts valid music because it's not that "hot and trendy" genre, you know it's glory days are numbered because people are getting tired of too much of it.

Beyonce was alright as a member of Destiny's Child, but as a solo artist, she became just another "call rappers I've slept with before to hook me up with a #1 hit" act. It's a shame too. What turns me off to a lot of today's r&b (hell, even compared to the r&b that was out in 1999-2000) is that it is way too reliant on guest rappers. If Beyonce didn't need any guests (except Wyclef Jean, ON THEIR VERY FIRST SINGLE) to make Destiny's Child a sensation, why need them for every single freaking track now?

Names and numbers, please. I'm doing an investigation.

here's a direct link to the thread I was talking about. PLEASE READ IT

I think you probably haven't turned to a top 40 station in the past year if you honestly are trying to argue that hip hop is not overplayed. Take a look at the hot 100 singles chart, there hasn't been a NON-r&b/hip hop #1 single since Nickelback except for two American Idol singles that went to #1 because of high sales.

No genre of music should be as overplayed as hip hop is now. I know people who were around in the 70's who say even disco was never played this much

You're right, I haven't listened to a top 40 station in the past year, but my argument was never about hip hop being overplayed. I simply stated that there's an audience for everything. Since you made no mention about that statement, you either ignored that very simple point or you agree with me. You may consider hip hop and r&b crap, but I could probably match each person you say doesn't like it with someone who does. With a number of music video channels, the internet, satellite radio etc., you don't NEED to rely on top 40 radio to hear what you desire to hear. I'm not a fan of country music, but I'm not going to call it crap just because it doesn't appeal to me. I realize there's people who like it and they have stations to turn to if they want to hear it. Just as there are rock stations, adult contemporary stations, hip hop stations, pop stations, etc. My wish is that people would focus on whatever they do like instead of calling everything that don't like "crap". That's too much negative energy.

So, that's your list of a lot of people you know, huh? :rofl:

well, then please explain all the other genres of music who aren't getting airplay. The most popular rock and pop songs in America nowadays are lucky if they even make the bottom of the top 10. Top 40 radio is ignoring other popular genres of music in favor of hip hop. For example, I hate Hilary Duff, but her album has scanned just as many copies as Beyonce's, but yet radio NEVER gave her the airplay they gave Crazy In Love and Baby Boy by Beyonce... even tho Hilary is even more popular to recordbuyers as Beyonce is. And it's not like Hilary is underground punk or anything. Her music is mainstream as all get out, but she's not r&b/hip hop, so top 40 stations are not playing her.

Also, Evanescence has had one of the biggest albums of the past year, yet Bring Me To Life only peaked at #5, even tho it was one of the most popular songs of 2003... yet Chingy and B2K and the sort have peaked higher than that, even tho their songs were nowhere as popular as Evanescence's. And their second single "Going Under" didn't get any top 40 radio airplay.

It's all Jennifer Lopez's fault

ok, here's 2 email addresses (I'll blurt out letters from their sn so people don't write them)

D&B&a&n&a&k@aol.com
J&h&R&b&e&e&@aol.com

face it, HIP HOP IS THE MOST OVERPLAYED MUSIC ON THE RADIO RIGHT NOW!!!

You cannot deny it

Vashti, may I ask what the hell your problem with me is?

I am not the only person on here who doesn't like hip hop.

Sorry I am not going to follow the trend and love hip hop just because it's big. You know hip hop is overplayed and no matter what you try to argue.

I linked you to a freaking article about it, but you just wanna argue with it because I am never going to change my opinion on hip hop even if it's popular.

Sorry if radio programmers are beginning to see the light that hip hop has caused points to drop on top 40 radio. Next you're going to tell me that MY HEART WILL GO ON, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU and ONE SWEET DAY were NOT the 3 most played songs in the 90's on radio.

well, Mariah did it before anyone else did. But it seemed like once J. Lo had some major success with the Ja Rule collaborations, that it opened up a pandoras box and EVERY r&b (and some pop too) female artist started bringing rappers in every single out. Look at the r&b hits from 2000 then compare them to those from the last 2 years. Most of the ones from 4 years ago were solo, now they almost all have guests.

Okay, I understand what you're saying, but it seemed like because you dont like Jen that you wanted to blame her for everything in music you dont like....

well, I suppose she isn't 100% responsible for it, but I do think her hooking up with Ja Rule played a major part of the "hip hop-ization" in pop music from the past few years.

Sigh, you ask me what my problem is, when you're not even reading my posts, you just continue arguing something that I never brought up in the first place. Once again, in my initial post, after you wrote "I think just about everyone is tired of the wave of hip hop-tainted pop and r&b that has been plaguing airwaves for about 3 years now", I wrote "NOT just about everyone is tired of it, there's an audience for everything", meaning that maybe you shouldn't generalize as if you're speaking for a majority. (And apparently, you agree with me in this very post: "Sorry I am not going to follow the trend and love hip hop just because it's big." As I said previously, for every person you say doesn't like it, there's someone who DOES, or else it wouldn't be "big".) I never said anything about whether any genre of music was being "overplayed" or not, you did. Top 40 radio isn't as important to me as it seems to be with you. I never questioned the fact that you don't care for r&b/hip hop, I questioned why you seem to put more passion in pointing out your dislike for THAT music than you do expressing what you DO like. I couldn't care less what you like or don't like, I just find it interesting that you seem to rely so heavily on what's being played on "top 40 radio" that you'd rejoice if a particular type of music is heard less. I made a comment to you in that other thread that the best station you could listen to is your own collection, but if you choose to focus on what's #1 on the charts and what's being played on top 40 radio, it seems to me you're leaving yourself open to be disappointed by what you hear. It's your right not to like what you don't like and it's your right to say it, I'd just suggest not saying something like "just about everyone is tired of the wave of hip hop-tainted pop and r&b". Articles, surveys, data research, etc., they don't speak for "everyone". Because radio stations are cutting down hip hop airplay doesn't mean no one wants to hear it. That's the only point I was making but I guessed you missed it. My back and forth with you on this subject wasn't meant as an argument, I enjoy debates sometimes. But if you want to debate me on the topic, as least read my posts and don't argue points that I never even brought up. Continue to not like r&b/hip hop as much as you want, I truly don't care.
