Not for nothing, but Mariah Carey's album is pure garbage. It's one long song. And that one long song sounds like a song from a previous album. The "durty souf" sound is BEYOND played out: all you need is a Playskool My First Keyboard and Drum Set to produce it and I wish a true artist would break out of it and give us something of substance to listen to.

That said, Madonna's album is really good. Discipline wasn't a bad album, but the problem with Janet is that she's OD'd on the sexual lyrics and she's never been able to recover from the Superbowl incident (mainly because the whole world knows she's a liar and that the whole thing was planned). If she had told the truth from the start, or maybe if Rene was still her creative director and told her how much of a bad move exposing her breast to the Superbowl audience would have been (it was the WRONG audience to try that with), she'd still be producing hits.
