H.M.V Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 If she brings the dancers,moves and the hits I reckon it's gonna be a cracker. Still no idea where she will be placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jntsrb Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 A few more songs that weren't singles you should hear. ? That Vanessa-Mae part starting at 3:30 is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangletang Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 If you don't know much JJ definitely check out her Control album, the first album she worked with Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis. They really crafted a sound together. It skews a bit more RnB then straight pop like some of her 90s stuff. There are quite a few bops on it: Nasty / Control / What Have you Done for me Lately / Pleasure principle** / Lets Wait Awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That geezer's IP traced back to an office involved in the management of Rod. Around the same time I got a call from as friend at GFL, asking me nicely if I'd list Rod as headliner, because he was threatening to pull out because he wasn't listed here as headliner. Bizarre, and very very funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one genre that has yet to be rehabilitated. Still sounds dated as hell to me. How's that a problem? Control is listed as one of the best albums on all possible lists, often in Top 10 above any album by Madonna and only behind Thriller when it comes to Michael. She has many timeless songs that sound like they were recorded yesterday. Control is not her entire career. BTW, Prince was performing one of her songs from that album at almost all of his tours. The list of artists who covered her songs is really huge, from pop superstars like Timberlake, Pink, Usher, Destiny's Child Britney Spears, Aguilera etc to amazing indie artists and jazz legends and Heavy Metal bands. I'm really impressed by how she's managing to headline the world's biggest festivals (even if she's not headlining this one), having a world tour, Vegas residency, No. 1 albums and singles around the world and performing at all major music awards in the world in her 50s. How many artists from the 80s are still doing anything of this? She's doing all of this nearly 40 years after her first single and it's really amazing. Can you imagine Cindy Lauper or Duran Duran or anybody else doing all of this or anything of this? Edited March 15, 2019 by jntsrb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we assume that as they’ve had to go back to 2014 to find that, Janet realised what her bro was really up to about 4 or 5 years ago?

Solange is clearly a massive fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yeah I mean this could flop. An act that isn’t really relevant in the U.K. coming over and miniming. I won’t be surprised if it’s one of those crowds where people are talking throughout the whole set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
