Title: Jermaine Dupri sadly in "Control" this time
Review: Janet has fallen considerably since the incredibly creative and original "Velvet Rope." It seems she has now given her boyfriend Jermaine complete control of the studio so he can destroy her career as he did Mariah Carey's (at least in the creative sense). It seems she's given up all of her ambitions from the '80s and '90s and decided to settle for anonymous cookie-cutter R&B; drivel. Granted, there are a few decent tracks ("Enjoy," "Take Care," & the foreign bonus track "Days Go By"), but the vast majority of the album wouldn't make the cut as filler on any of her pre-"All For You" albums.I was a big fan of Janet's up until "All For You," but she needs to get her act together... and fire Jermaine!!
