This is when music was treated like art. You can tell she put a lot of thought into this project. Now music is just churned out with minimum creativity and effort by artists and that's why the public doesn't support the music business the way they used to.

Its been tough for Janet because she is going thru depression while making of best album.

The album concept, the songs, the tour, her looks, her velvet rope hair, I love it all so damn much!

i love this interview. the velvet rope era is probably janet's best era of music. i love the theme and concept of the "velvet rope".

i think so too. After that tour was broadcast you started to see a change in performers.

Her magnum opus, an album which push boundaries to mainstream, an album and era that envelopes the need of acceptance, domestic violence, social media, homophobia, curiosity of sexuality and loving yourself despite being hurt and recovering from depression. R&B and Pop album with trip hop(GTIG, My Need, You), folk rock(Special), electronic(Empty), house(Together Again, Go Deep) and bass(Anything, Rope Burn). P.S. A lot of artists followed this kind of formula even once in their discography thanks to Janet, Jimmy and Terry.

Mario Miguel Scharer Christina should've waited until she was in her late 20s/early 30s to do an album about self-reflection like Stripped. Back To Basics and Bionic were good, but the songs just weren't great the way the songs from Stripped were. As for Lotus... I'm not even gonna comment about Lotus. LOL.

She should dye her hair red again cause she looked FINE

Imo, she's always been an artist. Control was the album that put her name on the map, but with Rhythm Nation 1814 she'd already established herself as an artist that can stand on her own. After that, "janet." & "The Velvet Rope" just continued to add to the legacy and she also started experiencing success internationally (for the first time).

The Velvet Rope is her best album and one of my most favourite albums of all time.

The velvet rope is an iconic album, so underrated, my favorite of hers, and a blueprint for artists to come.

Rope Burn is my Shiiiiiiiiiiii... That's my favourite Janet. album

I have been a fan of Janet for 2 years. One thing about Janet is all her albums sound new and fresh that's what music is missing artists with new fresh sounds.

Her artistic choices and interview responses were incredibly forward thinking. She was far more progressive than her latter years and her contemporaries. It’s unfortunate that the industry and public opinion were successful in curtailing that.

Her best era. Rhythm Nation was more nostalgic and commercially successful. But Velvet Rope had more soul. That's what broke the tie of Rhythm Nation vs Velvet Rope for me.
