New Song: Janet Jackson – ‘Can’t Be Good’ (Red Rat Remix)

Published: Monday 12th May 2008 by Sam
Janet Jackson - 'Can't Be Good' (Red Rat Remix) It would appear Janet Jackson’s stalled ‘Discipline’ project is set to be given a renewed lease of life. There are murmurings that this remix of album cut (and supposed new single) ‘Can’t Be Good’, courtesy of Jamaican star Red Rat, will feature on a re-packaged version of the LP.
About the track…hmm…it’s ok, I guess. Considering I’m not at all a big fan of the original, it’s hardly surprising that this doesn’t really move me. If there is truth to the talk of re-release, I say drop a completely new/unheard cut, followed by what the masses seem to be liking most – ‘LUV’ and/or ‘2Nite’. Though, by no means a masterpiece, ‘Discipline’ does have a lot of ‘hit single’ potential; potential that if wasted would be real unfortunate.

Hit or Miss?

    I have to agree with the previous comment besides TRL GMA & 106 & park there has not been no promotion for the album which is surprising for Janet because usually sick or not she for the most part picks things up and moves along with getting her project out there and making it a success. Hopefully with the re release & tour she can get things back on track.

    Goodness, this is terrible. What a bad choice for a single and such a awful remix.

    After 10 weeks, Discipline has only sold 378,000 copies. The album isn’t even gold yet. How horrible for Janet and her recording career.

    As much as I love me some JJ, um…I think she needs to sit down somewhere . I feel like she’s tarnishing her legacy by releasing these half-baked albums, Discipline, Damita Jo, and 20 Y.O. This remix isn’t going to do anything for the album, nor is a re-release.

    I mean, let’s think about it, not to say one is better than the other, but Britney’s lame, no promoting ass sold more than Janet 1st week, and is actually close to selling platinum, while Discipline might sell gold. I don’t know…

    What happen to the album? It died very quickly. It is a sad day when Mary J Blige is more popular then You Are.
    Your fans went out and supported you and Janet didn’t even promote the album. A shame, some of the Best Reviews in a long time.
    You join a new label to make your fans believe it was going to be different, this era suck. You let your boyfriend take over your career and he failed.
    You join a label who haven’t said one thing about Discipline. Your management Team Sucks. They didn’t even make any announcement when Feedback went Gold. You didn’t promoted in Japan nor the UK.
    Now You are supposedly going on Tour, which we heard it will be cancelled anyways. Your album Flop,3 Flops in a row is not a good look at all. Radio didn’t even play your music. LA Reid played you for sure, he hype this album up then he abandon this album.
    What was the purpose of you joining IDJ ,when the public knew, the fans knew, and You knew they only care about is Mariah! Your Boyfriend made sure Mariah had all the Best, Janet got what? Now you want your fans to support you and Janet didn’t give it her all?
    You are a joke in the music industry now, people do no even respect you, they laugh at you now! What happen to the fierce Janet Jackson. Who could compete with Whitney, Madonna and Mariah? People do not even respect you like they respect them. You should really stick to acting if you do not want to perform anymore. Why do you give up so easily? If you really do not want to perform ,you should let your fans know so we can stop going crazy! We defend you daily and still nothing. We really had are hopes up that this album would put you back on Top! We wanted you to gain some respect back and still nothing. You had are attention. Janet, why should we care about a Tour? Why can’t you be more business minded? Why did you let your boyfriend ruin your career? Mariah and Madonna won. You Lost Big Time. Why did you wait a week before to start promoting? I guess the rumors about your management team were true. They didn’t want to see you back on Top. Janet you need to fire everyone. You actually join IDJ thinking you had a chance and this is what happen………YOU ARE A JOKE!
    If radio didn’t play your music……what make you think they are going to promote a Tour!

    I had faith in You
    Janet the 90’s is over with…….I guess it is time to let go of you and your music.
    You do not care I do not care!
    Mariah is better, she gets her work done! Take a Tip From Her. She out-sold you in one week!
    Since you didn’t write on this album you should have let Mariah write you a Hit Song.

    what madonna and Mariah is doing might not be special, but they sure as hell is able to remain relevant and a hugely respected artist. I’m tired of folks screaming about the SB incident. Janet’s career seems to be over. Not because of her age, but because she hasn’t been able to put out any great music in the last 3-5 years. I heard “feedback” and it was cute. Radio here played it. But in the end, no one was really feeling it.
    Mariah needs to write Janet a Hit Song!

    The remix is WAY better than the orginal. But I’m sorry to say. I’m a HUGE fan of Janet’s music, and I say that because I don’t collect posters and all that just the music. But I was very dissappointed with this album. It just flat out sucked. I don’t think that she doesn’t have it anymore, I mean you just dont sell 10 million every time. But why didn’t she write not one single song. Why did she not work with Terry and Jimmy. I just didn’t see Janet at all in this project. WHERE DID YOU GO?

    Whoever wrote that grade D fake a** essay needs psychotherapy..and probably some medication too. I mean, we’re you really serious with that? Anyway, loves Can’t Be Good. Jante’s voice is great on the track. Album is fantastic and the fact that there are haters only means that she’s doing something different from what is mainstream-that she’s pushing boundaries-which is exactly what any ARTIST should be striving for. Janet is an iconic legend. These feeble attempts to diminsih her talents or contributions to the industry are pathetic.
