The album must be a-coming, because she's slimming down at a very rapid pace. A part of me stops to think about how all of her constant fluctuations in size cannot be good for her overall health, but screw that for a second - Janet is looking good again! She'll be able to do the butterfly without her thighs rubbing together causing her to trip and collaspe to the floor in no time. Hooray! I've loved Janet since I was a kid and I'm glad she's no longer channeling her inner Klump. I'm just hoping the music matches up with the great figure that's on the horizen.
Honestly, I didn't think
Damita Jo was that bad. It was basically an improved version of the previous album,
All For You. I thought "I Want You" was one of her best tracks in years. Vocally she was strong, Kanye gave her a hot beat/sample, and I thought it had hit written all over it...even if it were only a modest one. Too bad she let that clown who took Brandy's "I Wanna Be Down" far too seriously defile her in front of a billion people, pissing off a cool couple of million of them in the process. But that's all in the past now (
sort of). People can bounce back (Whut it dew, Mimi?). I'm hoping Jermaine's winning streak continues with her.
I'm not really feeling that album title,
20 Years Old, but I don't mind an ode to Control too much. Keep on jogging, Damita. We're waiting for you.
The Cynical Ones.
