No wonder it took me so long to get laid: I listened to Sister Christian

+1. Proof that great sex is dirty.

 

Better him than Woogie.

 

Didn't Janet Jackson sing "Let's Wait Awhile," then, eventually, sing "Anytime, Anywhere"?

 

Well, there was a good 10-15 years between them. A big difference in a 20-year-old and a 35-year-old woman and her sexuality or comfort in a relationship.

 

And by that time, she was turning the Super Bowl into her own burleseque show.

 

And being desperate to reverse her lagging album sales had NOTHING to do with it.

FWIW, she was smokin hot in "Black Cat." It was a big deal when she flashed her bra for a split second during the 1990 MTV VMAs. Who knew how innocous that would appear 16 years later?

 

See, I never got Black Cat. I thought that song sucked hard.

But the "Again" video? So gorgeous to me. My favorite JJ song.

 

I think Janet looked hottest in Love Will Never Do (Without You). But that's just me.

 

I could be wrong here, but I believe a Psyclone Ranger is one of those crazy robot bastards from Battlestar Gallatica, the ones who were black and silver and had a red light for an eye.

I also believe they were evil, and hence avoided, much like our song's narrator, who feels isolated and out of place, almost alien.

I love the Vapors, by the way. And while we're on the subject of Japan, also bukkake.

 

It was between that and "Black Cat." I'd accept either answer.  

Though I also really liked her during her junk in the trunk phase (also known as "Control").

Aren't there two versions of "Again?" One concept, one her singing alone on a stage w/a pianist?

The sad thing about her descent into audio porn is that it'll obscure just how good she was from 1986-1993. How many millions of people consider her music the soundtrack of their youth? There are Janet songs that remind me of my life from 8th grade through my fourth year of college.   Pretty amazing.

 

Though I thoroughly enjoyed the Antonio Sabato Jr. turn in the "love will never do" video.
