That's the way love goes...


Y'all may not know this, but there once was a time where Janet, "Ms. Jackson if you're nasty" Jackson was subtle. In a time not too long ago, Janet could be heard telling her suitor 'let's wait a while', cause in reality 'that's the way love goes'.

And then she got her hand on some velvet ropes and unleashed the sexual beast we all know and love. The final 3rd of that album, from I Get Lonely to Anything got all freaky deaky, building on the sexual come ons of Anytime, Anyplace from her previous album Janet.

From there on out, a revealing Janet gets her freak on sections became the norm and was to be expected. From Velvet Rope's follow up All For You, tracks 5 to 7: When We Ooo, China Love, and the orgasmic climax of Love Scene (Ooh Baby). And from the follow up to that album Damita Jo, tracks 15 and 16: Warmth and Moist. I kid you not, those are the titles, and she is not talking about early morning moisture, fresh baked pie, or the feeling one gets when basking in the sunshine.

Getdowngirl goheadgetdown! Quite an imagination this one has. It's no surprise that many a Janet fan didn't see the whole nipple show during the Super Bowl as a "wadrobe malfunction." [Come on Justin, you ripped it off after the line 'bet I have you naked by the end of this song.' What, were to believe you reached across her chest like that to pull her in for a show stopping hug?]

If her songs are any indication, Ms. Jackson talks the talk and walks the walk. And apparently so can her pint size pup [giving hope to us short men all over the world]Jermaine Dupri. In a new issue of Essence magazine, Janet tells of how in the past she has been too much for her male counterparts. In relationships men would tell the sex fiend to slow her roll, "'OK, hold on, wait a minute.'" Prompting Janet to ask her girlfrineds such questions as "'Aren't we supposed to be the ones who say, 'Wait, not tonight, I have a headache'?" Leading to feelings of discomfort and inadequacy I'm sure.

Not with Jermaine Dupri though. In him she has found a man who can 'dance all night.' According to Janet, with Jermaine she doesn't have to say a word, "he knows I'm ready. Any time, any place." Don't be surprised if any of the previous quotes form the genesis for a song or two on Janet's upcoming album 20 Yrs Old.
