Album Description: 'A PASSION FOR DISCIPLINE' by Janet 'It's the idea that unifies the songs on this record. As a concept, and even a lifestyle, discipline goes extremely deep. It can be applied to so much about ourselves. In my case,I see it as one of defining aspects of my character. Discipline was there for me from the start. But it was not until this record that I began to understand its full meaning. 'In putting Discipline out front -- as both the title of the album and title of a song about sexual surrender -- I wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters. That meant working with producers like Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Ne-Yo, whose songs spoke to the immediacy of my emotions. Like all my records, this one, whether intentional or not, has autobiographical roots. It's difficult for me to work any other way. I don't feel it, if I don't believe it, I can't sing it.
'So Discipline, as a storyline, begins in my childhood which someone could see as a classic study in discipline. Discipline was part of a family culture that I absorbed. I was born with it.
'I also believe that discipline has given me the confidence to jump out of the nest. When L.A. Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam, and I discussed co-executive producing this record, we both agreed that the feeling had to adventuresome and fresh. I was interested in exploring musical scenarios--some exotic, many erotic, but all deeply emotional. 'I wanted to push the envelope. And I'm glad that Discipline, both as a song and an album, does just that.'

Rating: - Janet Jackson "Disciplin"
Singer, Actress and Television Performer Janet Jackson's latest studio album "Discipline" reached #1 on The Billboard 200 Album Chart and has sold 415,000 copies in the US according to Nielsen SoundScan (9-19-08) My first memory of Janet is on her 1976/1977 Variety show with her brother's Michael Jackson, and The Jacksons. She has had a long career, just as Hillary has. Interestingly, In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (hillaryclintonforum, The Denver Group)
Rating: - Still Can't Understand What Your'e Saying When Singing
Janet...If you read these comments, please take the public's advice, we are the people who pay your bills, and maintain your lifestyle. If you make another album, let your man Jermaine Dupri, hook you up. You should have guest appearances of top rappers, and singers for collaborations. You should make a more R&B album like you did with Damita Jo, and 1993's album janet.
Also trying singing in a language the public can understand. A lot of people don't like your music, because we can't understand what you are singing about.
I still love you, but please change your style, bite off of Rhianna, Ciara, and Beyonce. These new school diva's took your spot. Hang it up!!!
Rating: - janet is awesome
At first I only liked a handful of songs but the more I listened the more those songs are the songs I love and I just like the rest. I am actually going to pay to go to concert (non-cheap seats too) and it is to see her and hear her old and NEW stuff. If LL Cool J opens that would really be icing on the cake.
Rating: - Good but needs to be better
Aw Janet, where have you gone? I hate the image Janet portrays in the last few albums she has put out. I am not sure I can say I loved any of her albums from front to back other than "Control" and my absolute fav. "Janet". I have always followed her though since day one and still consider her one my favs, but that doesn't mean I can turn a blind ear to her music. Artist who are known and do well at a certain style of music, unfortunately needs to stick with that. Janet doesn't make good slow songs, she is known for fast tempo, fun songs. "Give me a beat", anybody? This is what I love and expect from her. "Feedback" got me excited about her again and "Luv" is a great track as well, but I can handpick only a few out of this cd that I can play over and over. This happens alot with her cds, there are a few good songs and the rest of them are flat fillers. What's up with the whole dominatrix scene. It's like she ... Read More
