Janet Jackson Album: “All For You [PA]”

Janet Jackson Album: “All For You [PA]”
Description :
Personnel includes: Janet Jackson, Carly Simon, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot, P. Diddy (vocals); Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis (various instruments); Mike Scott, David Barry (guitar); Rockwilder (drums, programming); Alex Richbourg (programming). <p>Producers: Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis. <p>Engineers include: Dave Rideau, Steve Hodge, Chris Seul. <p>"All For You" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. <p>Such is the level of Janet Jackson's iconic status that she often seems more like a legend than a mere person, and each album seems more like an event than just another batch of songs. While Jackson's star quality is very much a factor on ALL FOR YOU, the album is an extremely individualistic effort. For one thing, the disc leads off not with a resounding pop hook, but with a lengthy snatch of incongruous conversation. Shortly thereafter, we're launched into "You Ain't Right," a vibrant track that's more about groove than pop. Instead of chasing after the kind of pop-R&B crossover that made Janet disciples like Britney and Christina so successful, this cut pursues a more idiosyncratic, almost Prince-like feel. <p>That's not to say there's no pop appeal on ALL FOR YOU. From the sensual ballad "When We Oooo" to the club-friendly, infectious "Come On Get Up," there's radio fodder aplenty here. But Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis's production refuses to settle for generic R&B cliches. Instead, the pair employ a variety of interesting percussion textures and keyboard tones to keep the arrangements sounding fresh and unique. Of course the thing holding it all together is Jackson's powerful-but-winsome delivery, simultaneously enticing and casual. That combination is the key to ALL FOR YOU's success.

- Online album version missing definitive song

What is the point buying the album online when the definitive song on the album "Would You Mind" (normally track 9) is missing!

- Limited Edition

This is a Special Limited Edition of Janet's ALL FOR YOU CD. It contains the original CD, with a few changes, and a DVD featuring all of her videos during the Virgin years so far. The CD has 21 tracks, which features two bonus tracks, Son of a Gun (Original Flyte Tyme Remix) and Son of a Gun (P. Diddy Remix), which both feature Missy Elliott. However in order to fit these bonus tracks in, they omitted Would You Mind from the CD, so if you own the original version of ALL FOR YOU it would be smart to keep it, as Would You Mind isn't on here, or you could buy the re-released CD that comes without the DVD.

The DVD features all of her major videos between 1993-2001. A few were omitted, because they were on other labels (for example Doesnt Really Matter was on Def Jam, so its not on here). That's The Way Love Goes, If, Again, Because of Love, Any Time, Any PKlace, You Want THis, Got Til Its Gone, Together Again (original and deeper remix), I Get Lonely, Go Deep, Every Time, All For You, Someone To Call My Lover, behind the scenes footage for each album, and All For You Love at MTV Icon. A pretty good deal and well worth the money, fans will want to have these videos!

Overall a good buy, and worth the investment if this is what you're looking for!

- I am very pleased...

First off I wanted Son Of a Gun remixes. But I didn't want to spend (the mondy) for a cd single. And I noticed on her newer version of just All For You had the bonus track BUT I didn't want to spend (the money) for an album that I already owned just for one song. So instead this DVD package came out (...). Well hey, I get the SoaG remixes along with a collection of videos on DVD...you can't go wrong if you're a Janet fan.

I am very pleased that I spent the money on what I did. Granted it is the clean version but that's cool. She cannot please everyone. Her and Virgin are blasted first because she used profanity and now by fans because she and Virgin took them out for this collection!!

For anyone who is a music lover, a DVD buyer and a definite Janet Jackson fan (or even Jacksons)...I recommend it.

::please note that the videos doesn't include the A&M videos...for that try Design of a Decade on DVD-which was released not to long ago)

- what is wrong with you people

this is adressed to you people who had negative reviews of this song. Janet is not a jazz singer. She doesn't sing classical music. Janet is a POP star. most of her music has been and always will be what people call bubblegum music. Buble gum music at it's best. Bubblegum gum music is not a bad art form. And what most of you fail to realize is that Janet for the most part created bubblegum music...you see her influence on everyone from Aaliyah, Britney, to christina and every one else. Janet makes POP music. I like this song. I can listen to it and hum to it and i can dance to it. It's an enjoyable experience. It is not a bad song. And her voice sounds better. No, her album will not be the second coming of Jesus Christ, no album ever is. But I have never been disapointed with any album janet has put out and I'm sure I won't be disapointed in this one. Geese. Save the serious critique for music that was meant to be taken seriously. This was crafted for one thing...to be lighthearted and FUN and at this, she succeeds.

- This Really Is "All For You"

How this release escaped me, is a surprise. Being an avid DVD collector, none of my favorite web sites listed this limited edition as a DVD release, which is the primary reason to buy this limited edition CD/DVD combo.

Video quality is excellent, sporting a dual layer, very high bit rate video transfer. Audio is linear PCM, no Dolby Digital compression here, and you CAN tell the difference! The sound matches the picture quality. Incredible! Songs include: That's The Way Love Goes, If, Again, Because of Love, Any Time, Any Place, You Want This (Colorized Version), Janet Behind the Scenes, Got Til It's Gone, Together Again, Together Again (Deeper Remix), I Get Lonely, Go Deep, You, Every Time, Velvet Rope Behind The Scenes, All For You, Someone To Call My Lover, All For You Behind The Scenes, MTV Icon Performance of All For You.

Notebly missing is Doesn't Really Matter. You'll have to pick that up on the Nutty Professor II DVD.

A very cool feature mentioned in another review here is the Playlist. You pick the songs from the menu, and the DVD plays them in that order!!! Into upbeat Janet? Just pick your tunes. Into that "quiet storm" thing, then pick 'em slow and smooth. Why other music DVDs haven't used this menu technology is anyone's quess. Into avoiding those annoying commentaries between songs..gone...just use the playlist and it's wall to wall music, with none of the "filler".

If this truly is a "limited edition", then do that "one click" thing and buy it before it's not available. Really, really nice combo set. Highly recommended. And for that person who has every DVD in the world (like me), I'll bet that they don't even know this release exists. Shame on Virgin Records for not promoting it more. But what a surprise for the DVD fan who thinks they have it all.
