If I ever get to play the Super Bowl again, I’m trying to decide whether I’d stick out my tongue like Mick Jagger or another body part that’s considerably lower . . .

even lower than the last time!

,,,,Janet looks like a drag queen. Or a bad blow up doll. And her “music” sucks

Janet is a legacy! I respect her for continuing to bring us music you can dance to.

Some of Janet Jackson’s moves, as a dance routine, were good.

Discipline is an amazing CD and I’m loving it. Janet can dance and she creates strong tracks for moving your body to. More power to her for still being around all these years later and for being interesting enough that people are still willing to talk about her.

i love janet and she looks beautiful as always but i think after her damita jo alblum she went down hill. i think she does better when she’s having problems with relationships. she has sanged all the right stuff that i can relate to now she’s in love and happy with dupri all she sings about is sex. i like the old janet singing love songs and songs about how men can treat a woman wrong i can’t get with this new stuff she’s on. please go back to the other janet it suits you better. but i’m still a fan for life

Discipline is the bomb! I love every track. People evolve in their lives, they can’t always stay the same. I’m glad that Janet has found a happy place in her life, and the music still rocks! Love u janet now let’s DANCE!

This album is her finest release since Velvet Rope, and if you’re not feeling atleast 8 of these joints you’re just hatin’!

at 40-something she’s still wearing that stupid earpiece, singing boring grannie r&b & surrounding herself with asshole dancers … exaactly how talentless is she?

I just bought janet{s discipline, for me its a great album ,im enjoying it from start to end, its one of her best works ¡¡¡

I love her new album! I love every one of her albums. And she may not be the best artist in the world, but she made her own career behind her father’s back, and no help really from her brothers, and out of the whole family, she hasn’t messed up that bad. I really admire her man. And she’s been around alot longer than most people in the industry now, yet she’s still debuing at number one. So weather or not you like her, you still have to respect all that she’s done with her life.

Heaven… if it wasnt for the ONE brother she would have nothing…

I think the “Discipline” is Janet’s best since “Velvet Rope.” I’ve not disliked anything that she has done, this is powerful in that most of the tracks make me want to move. Janet’s music always seems to move with the tide, and that can be good. But I’d like to see her surprise me with something different,and moving away from the sex themed music. I’m sure that Janet has a variety of stories to draw from her life, and I wish that she’d use them. She is talented, but I’d like to see her dig a little deeper.

I like D Jo, I liked 20 Year Old and I feel Discipline is another hit. I always tell myself, if I like more than 4 songs on a CD, it is bought. Guess what, I like 7 songs on this one. We all as fans have to just grin and bear the bad stuff(all the bad feedback) and keep our prayers open that everyone will forgive her for her super bowl accident and move on. I get tired of telling people that, people get tired of hearing this. But remember, all of the hot Diva’s went through this and it’s her turn. Love you Janet and will buy your albums not for support, but you are just damn good at what you do.
