New Song: Janet Jackson – ‘Nothing’

Published: Friday 19th Mar 2010 by Trent

The highly anticipated new single from Janet Jackson has finally surfaced. The track, entitled ‘Nothing’, was co-produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox. The song serves as the first release from the soundtrack Jackson’s new movie, ‘Why Did I Get Married Too?’, and will officially debut on radio on March 30th. Check out ‘Nothing’ below:

It seems Jackson decided to take us back to the classic sound of her ‘janet.’ album with this one. Never the powerhouse singer, her vocals suited the production well, although many may have been hoping for a bit more from her delivery.

Interestingly, I have noticed that over the last few months attacks on Jackson have been from many of the stans of a certain Bajan model who claim that Jackson cannot sing and that she merely “whispers”. Once again ignorance continues to prevail among the minds of today’s youth because anyone born before 1995 would know that what Jackson lacks in power, she makes up for with technique (see ‘I Get Lonely’). However, in the case of the other star in question, we all know that sound of a goat’s castration is as good as it gets. Sit.Down.

Hit or Miss?

    VOCALS GIVE ME VELVET ROPE ERA / MJ

    OVERALL PRODUCTION GIVES ME JANET. ERA

    XOXO

  17. YepYep March 19, 2010

    @Jayden and @Ade

    What I think you two need to keep in mind, is that THIS IS NOT HER FIRST SINGLE. This is just a track for the soundtrack. I’m sure her first single will be a “Club Banger” tho

  22. Kevin March 19, 2010

    this is a very good track.

    oh whaddya know, jermaine dupri produced this, and it’s solid.
    oh whaddya know, jermaine dupri produced mariah careys ‘100%’ and it was very solid.
    oh whaddya know, jermaine dupri produced a TON of earlier mariah carey hits (Always Be My Baby, We Belong Together, Don’t Forget About Us and more) AND KILLED THEM ALL!!!!!!!!

    MARIAH WHY ARE YOU NOT EMPLOYING AND PAYING THE S*** OUT OF THIS MAN!? HE BRINGS OUT THE BEST OF YOU and EVERY OTHER ARTIST HE WORKS WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. Hboss March 19, 2010

    Classic Janet. Might be a hit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Fred March 19, 2010

    I love Janet Jackson and whoever brings up anyone besides maybe Madonna or Whitney Houston(female artists) up against her go shoot yourself PLEASE.

    She does sound like Michael on this song, this will be great for the movie.

  25. Annie March 19, 2010

    This is a beautiful song! To those of you who don’t like it : You have to listen to is a couple of times! Give it a chance. !

    Can’t wait for the movie!

  26. Anthony March 19, 2010

    OMG, The gurl can sing.. Not like i didn’t know that, but she can sing.. She sounds so much like MJ on this.. Even though this is the movie sound track this can blow up on the main charts. This is so classic her.. Queen of Pop 4life.

  27. hihihihi March 19, 2010

    S*** I NEED THE DMAN LYRICS BC I CANT UNDERSTAND HER USUAL MUBMLING AND WHSIPERING

    JUST STRAIGHT BABY-SOUNDING WHISERPING

    I NEED TO SEE JANERT SLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE THEN WE CAN TALK

    A BABY CAN WHSIPER IN HER CASE SING BETTER

  28. March 19, 2010

    i’ve always loved a good janet ballad, but the last few albums have been lacking any IMO.
    to me, this is her best ballad since “the velvet rope” era, maybe “all for you” era.

    beautiful.

  29. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    HIHIHIHIHI

    RITARDATION SOUNDS LIKE A BILLY GOAT ON CRACK PUNK!

    SHE WILL NEVER SING LIKE AALIYAH, JANET, MYA, BEYONCE, MONICA, MARY, MARIAH, OR WHITNEY PUNK!

    RITARDATION WILL NEVER HUN! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME M*****?

    JANHOVA = GOD

    RITARDATION = GOAT

  30. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    TIFFANY EVANS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RITRARDATION

    JOJO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RITARDATION

    WOULD I LIE?

  31. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    JANHOVA IS CLEARLY NOT WHISPERING.

  32. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    SHADE IS THE MEDIA THINKS JANET SINGS BETTER THAN RIHANNA. LOL

    RIHANNA HAS A LIL NICE VOICE ON HER BUT SHE SOUNDS ANNOYING.

    WHEN JANET ACTUALLY SINGS SHE SOUNDS SOO GOOD AND EASY ON THE EARS.

  33. Paul March 19, 2010

    uhm..I’d have to agree with a lot of people.

    That was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I couldn’t even make it through the whole thing.

    plus the lyrics were lame.

    It’s like she jotted them down in 5 minutes and sat in the booth almost lifeless and just sort of whispered them on tempo.

    So…lethargic and uninspired.

    NEXXXXXXT.

  34. algie March 19, 2010

    you betta saaaaaaaaaaang janet!!! i love the song especially the lyrics

  35. Dania March 19, 2010

F*** WHAT U HEARD. .. . KELIS IS THE QUEEN OF POP/R&B F*** MARIAH CAREY, JANET, BEYONCE, & MARY J OLD ASSESS. . . .KELIS IS THAT B**** U DREAM, FINGER TO, & WANT TO BE LIKE

  36. THESKORPION March 19, 2010

    That is so boring & why is she working with JD again. No Janet sis this is not it. and Ima go with what Dania said about Kelis. Kelis is bringing something new to the table and I need that not some dated ballad especially from Janet. But I will go check out her movie with Tyler Perry.

  37. kongo7 March 19, 2010

    RIHANNA ISNT A LEGEND NOR IS KELIS.

    KELIS WILL ALWAYS BE THE B**** NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TOO. SHE WANTS TO BE GAGA SO BAD. BUT SHE IS A OLD ASS B**** WHO WANTS TO COMPETE WITH GAGA AND RIHANNA.

  40. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    KELIS WILL NEVER BE JANET, MARIAH, BEYONCE, WHITNEY, LADY GAGA OR ANYONE ELSE PUNK!

    CIARA EVEN OUTSOLD THAT BEAST!

  41. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    HOW IS THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG DUMB?

    IT RELATES TO THE MOVIE AND ALSO TALKS ABOUT REAL S***!

    YOU FAILED MOOSE!

  42. parisian girl March 19, 2010

    i’m sorrry but she sounds too much like MJ
    it’s a bit boring

  43. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    SHE ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE MJ. THEY ARE BOTHER AND SISTER.

    ITS NOT BORING. YALL JUST LIKE THAT KATRINA NEW ORLEANS MUSIC.

  44. stan March 19, 2010

    very blah to me.

  45. NICKY March 19, 2010

    1.) TRENT/SAM IS VERY CHILDISH AND GHETTO TO EVEN ADDRESS THOSE WHO COMPARE RIHANNA TO JANET . THEYRE IGNORANT …WHY WOULD YOU PUBLICLY ADDRESS IT IN A POST, WHEN MANY COMPARE JANET TO BEYONCE, TO BRITNEY, TO MANY.

    EACH OF THEM IS A STAR IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. JANET IS NOT KNOWN FOR HER VOCALS, WHATSOEVER. SHES AN ENTERTAINER. RIHANNA CAN SING AND HAS A DISTINCT VOICE. HER VOICE IS ADDICTIVE.

    2.) I LOVE JANET …SHES THE ULTIMATE ICON AND I HAVE EVERY SINGLE ALBUM OF HERS AS WELL AS RIHANNAS……..RIHANNA IS A RISING ICON. SHE WILL BE AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME. LIKE IT OR NOT.

    3.) THIS SONG LEAVES ME VERRRRRRRRRRY DISAPPOINTED. IM PISSED THAT WHEN PEOPLE HYPE S*** UP AND IT ENDS UP BEING NOT GOOD.

    JANET PLEASE LEAVE JD ALONE.

  46. looi March 19, 2010

    i love janet, i love rihanna.
    trent stfu and u sit.down. cos after all this u put rihanna in ur top 5 songs? hypocrites. yuck.

  47. TerryTorro March 19, 2010

    OMG, some of you should really kill yourselves, honestly. “This song is boring”, um first of all this is a single to a soundtrack. I bet if she was singing about d*** and popping her booty it would be a hit right. Wow, I agree with Trent, I believe some of you who leave dumb ass comments like that were born like in 2000 or something like that. Russian Roulette is a boring ass song.

  48. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS DAMN SONG!

    YALL JUST WANNA STR8 UP HATE.

    SHE ISNT SINGING ABOUT TOUCH MY BODY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

    ITS A MATURE SONG. IF YOU DISLIKE THIS SONG AND YOU A FAN THAN YOU MUST NOT LIKE HER OLDER WORK OF ART.

    RIHANNA CANT SING LIKE JANET PERIOD!

    JANET HAS EMOTIONS AND DEPTH IN HER VOICE.

    “WHAT ABOUT” AND “I GET LONELY AND OTHER JANET SONGS SLAYS RIHANNA VOCALLY AND LYRICALLY WHOLE CATALOG.

  49. Seth71 March 19, 2010

    I like it. It’s very old school Janet, which we haven’t seen in a while. I think it’s one of the better tracks that she’s delivered in a while. It really seems like Janet is stepping her game up. With this song, and Make Me, she’s starting to go back to being the Janet that everyone fell in love with.

    Sidenote: I swere Sam, & Trent (especially Trent) are like a couple of bitchy 13 year old’s. I really don’t see why they find it necessary to make a jab at Rihanna in almost every other post they make. It’s fine that you don’t like her, but you guys really take it over the top. Almost as if you’re doing it just to provoke her fans.

  50. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    EXCATLY TERRY!

    SHE ISNT SINGING ABOUT S** OR CLUBS OR MAKING COCKY AS MUSIC.

    SO HOW IS THIS SONG BLAH AND BORING? ITS MORE TO MUSIC THAN A CLUB BANGER OR EVERYTHING SOUNDING LIKE A BEYONCE OR GAGA SONG. CAUSE LETS FACE IT! MOST ARTIST COPY THEM TWO MUSIC.

    JANET JUST KEEP DOING YOUR THING. I FEEL THE SONG FITS THE MOVIE PERFECTLY.

    NO ONE HYPED THIS SONG UP AT ALL. YOU CHOSED TO BE HYPED UP FOR IT!

  51. geeMan March 19, 2010

    This is a classic. Janet ballad as for her voice it has always had that soft quality so I don’t see the problem,this track has a Michael feel as well. This is a good song nonetheless. Can’t wait to see what Janet has in store this go round.

  52. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    IF JANET NEW ALBUM GONNA BE A MIXTURE OF…

    MAKE ME
    HEARTBEATLOVE FEAT PITBULL
    AND NOTHING

    THAN IT WILL BE AMAZING.

    MAKE ME (STR8 UP CLASSIC VINTAGE JANET)

    HEARTBEATLOVE (NEW SCHOOL JANET WILL OUTDANCE YA FAV)

    NOTHING (JUST A CLASSIC VINTAGE JANET SONG THAT TALKS ABOUT REAL ISH)

  53. YouPutTheLimeInTheCoconut March 19, 2010

    “However, in the case of the other star in question, we all know that sound of a goat’s castration is as good as it gets. Sit.Down.”

    OMFG Trent…you DID NOT just go there!! AHHHHH *dead, deceased, mummified*

  54. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    BUT FOR THE FANS REPPING ARTIST WITH NO TALENT AND WANNA GO AFTER PEOPLE WITH ACTUAL TALENT IS BEYOND ME. LOL

  55. Kami March 19, 2010

    You guys need to stop acting so ghetto over the internet.

  56. Ghetto Fab March 19, 2010

    This is a nice little ballad. Reminds me of old school Janet. I get a hint of MJ in her voice too. All the Jacksons sound alike when singing. This sounds like it will be a hit. Sounds like old school 90s Janet.

  57. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    YALL ONLY LIKE GHETTO MUSIC.

    JANET NEW SONG SOUND GOOD. NOT THE BEST OF THE BEST. BUT ITS DEF NOT A BAD OR A STUPID IGNORANT SONG.

    VERY WELL JJ.

  58. AalexisR (The Bahamas) March 19, 2010

    Thank you Trent. Preach it. I think this is a gem compared to a great deal of material out right now. This just makes you feel really good.

  59. BeyonceStan March 19, 2010

    I Hate It. Janet and Mariah sucks as of lately

  60. Jake22 March 19, 2010

    Whoever posted under TheSkorpion name need to stop. He just said that he LOVE this song on twitter. FAIL at the person posting under his name.

    I like this song… go Janet!

  61. rightround(U.S.A pride!) March 19, 2010

    I wasn’t expecting this..

    i’ts very nice though 🙂

  62. Caitlin March 19, 2010

    Janet CAN sing – just listen to BLACK CAT, SCREAM and one of her latest, MAKE ME. She has a damn good set of lungs.

  63. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    Nothing
    Janet Jackson (Why Did I Get Married Too Soundtrack)

    There’s something I wanna say
    Something that I’ve been holding back
    Can’t let it go another day
    Let me start by saying that

    Nothing, nothing,
    Nothing, means more than the truth.

    And truth is that I realize, love is fading from your eyes
    Don’t know how it came to this, but we gonna get it fixed tonight
    Cus nothing, nothing,
    Nothing, is worth losing you

    Tell me what could the problem be, that’s got you drinking way too much
    What could it be ’bout us
    Don’t you tell me not right now, I can’t let it go
    (I can’t let it go, no I can’t let it go, Oh nooo)

    What can I do to help you see,
    That there’s no need for jealousy or insecurities
    I’ll do anything you want
    You can even have the password to my phone

    Because nothing, nothing
    Should come between us
    Trust in me
    Trust in me

    We should cherish every moment like it’s the last
    Trust in me
    Trust in me

    If your issues is with trust, hear me when I tell you this
    No one else has shared my love, no one else has had your kiss

    Nothing, nothing,
    Nothing, can make me forget.

    (Noooo)

    Forget that you’re a good man and I know that you’ve had it hard
    Cus you’re more than adequate, you’re more than I wish for

    Nothing, nothing,
    Nothing, can make you any less.

    Tell me what could the problem be, the past is something I can’t change
    It’s a brand new day
    Don’t you tell me not right now, I can’t let it go
    (I can’t let it go, no I can’t let it go, Oh nooo)

    We’ve got to fix this, fix this right this minute
    Only pure love can calm the noise
    Cus baby when we give pure love
    Pure love will never come back to us void

    Because nothing, nothing
    Should come between us
    Trust in me
    Trust in me

    We should cherish every moment like it’s the last
    Trust in me
    Trust in me

  64. DION-ISH March 19, 2010

    WOW DID THIS GUY REALLY JUST ADDRESS STANS?!?! WHEN HAS HE EVER ADDRESSED A STAN OF ANYBODY IN ANY POST?!!

  65. melissa March 19, 2010

    great song

  66. Paul M. Harris March 19, 2010

    Why are some of you people so hostile and mean? wow some of yall are cut throat, it’s a ballad for a soundtrack… The lyrics reflect the movie (relationships), she sounds great. I’ve always loved Janet’s voice she’s one of my favorite female singers, she can sing soft, s***, rough, angelic and she has range. She’s done a duet with three of the best male singers ever: Luther, Elton John and MJ… After 27 years of recording yall still talking about her music, she must be doing something right… Janet forever

  67. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    BEYONCESTAN

    YOUR NOT A REAL STAN OF QUEEN BEYSUS PUNK!

    SHE NOR JANHOVA OR MOTHER LAMB (MARIAH)

    MAKES SONG FOR UGLY PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CANT GET A MAN OR WOMAN!

  68. SEAN2010 March 19, 2010

    RIHANNA STANS DO TALK ALOT OF S*** ABOUT JANET ON THIS SITE AND ABOUT OTHER ARTIST ASWELL.

    BEYONCE NEVER DISSED THE JACKSONS WHATSOEVER. THATS OLD AND HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT!

    BEYONCE SAID SO MANY TIMES SHE LOVES MICHAEL AND JANET VERY MUCH!

    MIKE AND JANET ALSO SAID THEY LOVE AND RESPECT AND IS A FAN OF BEYONCE.

  69. DION-ISH March 19, 2010

    I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN A JANET FAN SINCE BIRTH, MY MOTHER IS A HUGE FAN AND MY VERY FIRST CONCERT WAS THE VELVET ROPE @ AGE 10 W/ MY MOTHER AND HER FRIENDS….SHES INCREDIBLE.

    THAT BEING SAID, @ 21 I HAVE ARTIST THAT IM A FAN OF TODAY LIKE RIHANNA AND BRITNEY SPEARS AND I LOVE THEM ALL EQUALLY (BUT JANET SLIGHTLY MORE)

    I HAVE HARDLY SEEN LOTS OF STANS OF RIHANNA ATTACK JANET….MORE SO THAN BEE FANS WHOM HAVE BEEN ATTACKING HER SINCE FOREVER AND EVERYONE ELSE AT THAT YET HE DOESNT MENTION THAT……I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR THEM!!

    WHY MUSTU POST ABOUT RIHANNA ALL THE TIME, WHY DOES HER NAME STAY RELEVENT HERE?!?! IF U DONT LIKE HER WHATS THE POINT?! I JUST DONT GET IT…MENTIONING HER IN A JANET POST WAS UNNECCOSSARY, UNPROFFESIONAL, AND SIMPLY ATTENTION SEEKIN #WHACK #ONETOTHENEXTONE

    YOUR BLOG WON LAST LONG, MILK THE 15 MINUTES OF IT WHILE U CAN!!!

  70. jmoore March 19, 2010

    I love this song! Janet is singing again…Bring on the movie!

  71. DION-ISH March 19, 2010

    ^^^^^^^

    NO, BEE NEVER DISSED JANET (THO SHE KINDA DID) BUT HER STANS DID…THIS IS ABOUT THE STANS!!

    RIHANNA NEVER DISSED JANET, SHE HAS ALWAYS SPOKEN HIGHLY OF JANET AND THEY EVEN CLICKED @ A CLIVE DAVIS PARTY, U CAN SEARCH THE PICKS.

    IVE HARDLY SEEN ANY RIHANNA STANS ATTACK JANET LIKE BEE FANS #JUSTSAYIN

  72. Miss IQ March 19, 2010

    This is the first song in a few years where Janet actually seemed to put a lot feeling into it. There was an emotional connection and it does not sound like every other song on the radio. I am glad she is back to R N B slow love songs and for the moment has left the dancing to the kids.

    Oh and comparing Bey and RiRi to Janet is a bit unfair. You cannot compare students to the teacher. Maybe in 20 years the convo would be more appropriate.

  73. Junior in Jamaica March 19, 2010

    I’m on the fence with this one…

  74. Ken March 19, 2010

    I really love that Janet has released a ballad this time around. It’s definitely a “janet” ballad, and she does it sooo well! What can we do to get “Nothing” to #1?! It’s been too long since Janet had a #1 single and I am totally feeling this song. SO smooth and velvet vocals. Great production. LOVE IT!

    @ Ken Janet most recent #1 single was “Make Me” on the dance charts. Shes the first artist, male, female, or group to have #1’s on the dance charts 80’s 90’s 00’s and 10’s.

  76. Chile March 19, 2010

    Jeezus f****** Christ! if Janet is such an icon, why do the writers of this blog have to compare her to an artist they think is garbage? an artist that helps this site pay it bills??

  77. ADE March 19, 2010

    @ SEAN2010…u really need to calm down, bursting blood vessels all over the place behind ur computer screen…its not that serious u crazy c*** – and yes this song is still boring to me, all ur ranting and raving and capital letters aint gonna change that, stupid mug

  78. GOJANET March 19, 2010

    For those of you who are saying the song is boring have you even took the time to actually LISTEN to it? No, it’s not a dance song, but it’s a very nice song with GREAT lyrics and it works VERY well.

    ADE

    I DONT NEED TO DO S*** NOR AM I GONNA READ YOUR WHOLE POST.

    WHY?

    CAUSE YOU DONT MATTER S****. SIT YA FAKE WEAK UGLY ASS DOWN M*****,.

  80. Ben March 19, 2010

    I like it. Vocals are a little rough, but not too much where you can’t enjoy the song. It does have a classic feel to it. To me, it sounds good enough to be a lead single for her new project. I just can’t wait to see her back in full effect and to see a Jackson on top once again.

  81. Pucci March 19, 2010

    @BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE), i keep telling you, you have a serious mental problem & you need to seek psychiatric evaluation for that!!!

    @HIHIHIHI, how did i know that your retarded ass would be all over this post. lol

    @Dania, Kelis aint s***… when’s the last time you ever heard of Kelis being compared to BEYONCE, JANET, MARIAH Oh & let’s not forget, Mary J old ass… Mary might be up there in age, but her voice is powerful & she will sing circles, over circles, over circles over circles around Kelis… so STFU b****!!! Next!!!!

  82. Pucci March 19, 2010

    @ SEAN2010, Quit being an idiot… Stop puttis “SUS” after stars names as if they’re equivalent to Jesus or something… WTF, BEYSUS… you’re another one who needs psychiatric evaluation too.

    All that ranting i did, i didnt even give my 2 pence on the song… I actually like it, it reminds me of the “always” song from the janet. album.

  83. retun of R&B Queen March 19, 2010

    I like this new song. Pretty cool… 🙂

  84. Love MUSIC =D March 19, 2010

    Love it

  85. SparkD March 19, 2010

    I’ve listened to that clip 8 times. I love it!

  86. Creamdiggler March 19, 2010

    TRENT YOU NAILED IT!!!

    THIS IS A GREAT M.O.V.I.E. TRACK.

    I THINK IT TELLS THE STORY OF HER MOVIE CHARACTER

    WELL…I’M REALLY ENJOYING THE SONG…IT IS CLASSIC JANET…THANKS JD

  87. janet_chynadoll March 19, 2010

    I love the song!It’s definitely a nod to ‘Again’..and it still retains it’s own charm,and fits in the mould of the movie completely!It definitely sounds like another # 1 on the R’n’B charts..and maybe the Hot 100 if it crosses over to pop and the downloads are decent.
    that saying..this really is THE classic Janet sound..bring it on girl!!ur THE Icon!!

  88. Hazel March 20, 2010

    “Nothing” is a grower (in a good way). Everytime I listen, I begin to love it more and more. Janet definitely pushed her vocals on this record. Looking forward to the new album.

  89. lebo(Caribbeanboi) March 20, 2010

    Its a cool song …

  90. Oggie March 20, 2010

    A Very mature and beautiful track, the more you listen to it , the more you feel the depth of the emotiona in the lyrics, a real breath of fresh air, honestly, everything sounds so generic right now that for her to put out something with some truth and maturity in the lyrics and vocals that touch your soul, it makes you exhale and say ‘thank you God for the dying bread of REAL artist!

  91. SEAN2010 March 20, 2010

    JANET IS QUEEN !!!!!!

  92. mary March 20, 2010

    Aww… It’s a nice song.

    Funny I was just listening to her Velvet Rope album last night. 🙂

  93. JOHN March 20, 2010

    THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!BRAVO JANET JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  94. Dilla March 20, 2010

    I hope her album sounds like this, finally Janet.

  95. CrackisWack March 20, 2010

    Amazing is a stretch people.. SIT DOWN! It was just O.K., and barely @ that.

  96. here to laugh March 20, 2010

    Janet (the TRUE icon) comes with a great new song and u and Sam still have to get a Rihanna dig in? Really Trent, do u guys need the hits from the fans and stans THAT bad? Anyway, as a Janet stan since the 90s, i was hoping she would go back to her janet/Velvet Rope era sound and she did with this one. I likey! Way better than that song with Pitbull she has that surfaced earlier this year. And im sure the full song (minus the radio interruptions) will be better than this. There is hope for my velvet Rope Part II lol!

  97. B March 20, 2010

    Great song Janet!!

  98. Marquis March 20, 2010

    THIS SONG IS REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  99. shawn March 20, 2010

    i love songs like this from janet….this shows how great she is and why she is such an icon in the music business!!!

  100. SEAN2010 March 20, 2010

    CRACKISWACK

    YOUR A CRACKNEY FAN!

    YOUR USED TO A F***** UP VOICE IN 2010! SIT YA ASS DOWN PUNK ! YOUR OPINION DOESNT MATTER NONE S****!

  101. Omari89102 March 20, 2010

    I’m quite the HUGE Jan fan myself and even have danced with a [female] Jan impersonator in Vegas and I have to say after Velvet Rope, no, All for You some of Jan’s songs have been hit or miss for me [mostly due to her not writing her own songs anymore]. However, “Nothing” is quite beautiful and I have to agree that it is pure Janet. and Velvet Rope era sounding Janet. I have HIGH HOPES for the next project.

  102. jack March 21, 2010

    i like it specifically because it is “simple.” i was getting really fed up with all the slick production in the last few hits. people kept saying, “oh, she’s trying to sound like (insert artist who was inspired by janet here).” enough of that. on this track you can hear real humanity, and i love how brittle and sad she sounds. the delivery is perfect. why would you power your way through something as delicate and fragile as this? it isn’t always appropriate to boom the cannons. here a whisper conveys sensitivity, and i for one applaud her for taking a step away from s** mama routine for a change. bravo. i love it.

  103. Jermaine March 21, 2010

    I LOVE THIS SINGLE

  104. X(Chris) March 21, 2010

    Please stop comparing Rihanna to icons, it’s not necessary! Wait 20 years then we can talk about it, if Rihanna still is relevant… But comparing Rihanna to artists like Mariah, Mary, Whitney, Janet (all the icons), hell even Beyonce or Christina Aguilera (who’s coming back to slay, hopefully) is not justified at this point.

    To ThatGrapeJuice: I don’t see any point in trash talking Rihanna in every article it’s really unprofessional. I don’t even like her that much, but all the hate won’t make her fans like her any less, so stop. If you keep doing this same s*** you will lose readers.

    About the song: I LOVE Janet! I love the simplicity of the song and the lyrics. And for those who wants a club banger for her albums first single, I completely agree, but a club banger certainly wouldn’t fit the movie’s time at all. Applause for Janet who’s still standing and ready to come back after a tough year…

  105. Keesha March 21, 2010

    I like this song. It does remind me of the old Janet. It’s sad though that people are into these so called “club” songs with lyrics that have no meaning. I honestly like hearing songs like this, but I guess shallow people like hearing shallow , catchy lyrics. That explains why most songs in today’s age that reach #1 are some of the dumbest songs ever.

  106. Keesha March 21, 2010

    @Sean2010 I totally agree with you! Rihanna fans I must say are completely delusional at times. Rihanna has a “strong goat” voice? Since when did a goat voice sound good? I’d rather listen to Janet’s “baby” voice anyday. I hope that she goes back to the old Janet (the one that didn’t take off her clothes). Tiffany Evans and Jojo are sooooooo underated as young artists. They have ACTUAL talent.
    @Trent or @Sam, I don’t like Rihanna either, but stop bringing her up when you are talking about TRUE icons who actually have TRUE talent. She doesn’t belong in the same post as TRUE icons. And plus you know her fans will go off on you as usual. But I guess you guys like it when they come on the post, as they bring drama.

  107. Keesha March 21, 2010

    Actually @Sean2010, I only agree with your comments about Tiffany Evans and Jojo being better than Rihanna. Janet Jackson is not a Goddess, but she is an icon, no doubt.

  108. Luv-Lee March 21, 2010

    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!!

  109. CF March 21, 2010

    Those who are hating on Janet, you have good reason. Janet is the baddest chick and deserves your hateration. I am a bit confused by some of the comments about her vocals. We have become a society bent on the screaming banshee like Beyonce, who to me cannot sing but screams in a forceful verbrato. I agree with several of the commentators in which the vocal stylings does put you in the mind of MIchael Jackson’s “She out of my life”. Her vocals to me are beautiful and maybe I have excellent hearing but I dont have a problem hearing her on her songs. Maybe the haters are deaf from listening to screaming heffas like bitchonce. Also her previous hit “Make Me” vocals were very clear and beautiful. If you could not understand her on that then yeah yo ass is deaf, go get your hearing checked.

  110. Jen March 21, 2010

    I love this song!!!!!!!!!!! U can hear the emotion in her voice.
    But who is the bajan model hating on Janet??? Can someone tell me who it is???

  111. Chaz March 22, 2010

    The Bajan model being referred to is Rihanna boo

  112. D. WIll March 22, 2010

    I like, this song is one of best in years. Hopefully lots more people will get to hear since its associated with the movie. The problem is not that she isn’t make good music, they are just not promoting them properly. I may be a Janet stan but I really believe that “2Nite” and “Enjoy” could have been huge hits for Janet.

  113. Asdrubal April 6, 2010

    I agree with the author, janet Jackson is the only female artist in being Grammy nominated in almost all major fields and categories, Rap, Rock, R&B, and Pop, in fact she wrote Black Cat and her performance voice is as high as the strings of the guitar, The idiot who said that Janet can t sing is just ignorant and must be a 12 years old ignorant schooler

  114. Matylda October 9, 2011

    It’s incredible how similar she sounds to Michael!!!
