Janet’s Back In Control

This week Janet Jackson released her first ever collection of number one singles. The body of work is untouchable. Janet’s music, videos, and live performances have forged the way for countless artists and with the release of Number Ones, we are reminded why we all fell in love with Miss Jackson.  The presentation of the collection however, is disappointing to say the least, but I will get to that later.

The Two-disc collection chronicles her incredible journey, with number one singles from her breakout album, Control to her latest album Discipline. The collection also includes some of her most famous duets including Scream with her brother Michael and What’s it Gonna Be!? with Busta Rhymes, not to mention the fresh new single and video,  Make Me.

For the younger generations, who may be in the dark as to how fantastic Miss Jackson is, this is the perfect starter kit to get familiar with one of the greatest pop divas of all time. With singles such as: Miss You Much, That’s the Way Love Goes, Got ’til it’s Gone, All Nite (Don’t Stop) and the latest number one, Feedback, this collection is an absolute crowd pleaser.

Now, to the negative. This is a great collection of music, but the presentation is lackluster. In my opinion the cover art looks cheap and the photo is a bit on the boring side. For an artist of this magnitude the presentation of the collection should be as great as the content. In this case it is not, and it would have been nice if there were some bonus features like a concert DVD or SOMETHING. That being said it is wonderful to have these hits together on a collection! Janet Jackson is back ladies and gents, and she’s back to stay.
