This was posted on Monday, May 1 on Janet's website as a "gift to the fans." It's not the first single from Janet's upcoming CD, which I think is still going to be called "20 Years Old," nor is it going to be included on that album. It's a remake of a song originally done in 1983 by R&B/Dance artist, Debbie Deb.
The link is below if anyone's interested in hearing it. It's definitely a throwback to the "Control" days. Very dance-oriented. I like it a lot. But in order to LOVE it, I'm going to need to spend more time with it. I wish it was more along the lines of "That's The Way Love Goes." It's a little too "absent of soul" for my taste.

Thanks for the link Adam! As for the song, I don't like it. Her voice just doesn't sound very good.

The song sucks and Janet said that this is not the single.

Awww I like it. Definitely very dance-throwback which I like to hear from her.

As we all now know, this is not being released as a single.

I like it, but like Billy said, her voice isn't very good.

Can we get this moved to the Non-singles forum, now that it's been established that it is NOT a single?

On a second listen, the production isnt so bad. I still don't like her voice though.

Thank god this isn't the first single. Otherwise, I would be extremely disappointed, as I was with most of the Damita Jo project. I really hope her album doesn't sound "poppy" in the same vein as "Doesn't Really Matter" or "Just A Little While".

I'm a bit confused....is the title of this song "Weekend" or "Lookout Weekend"?

I'm a bit confused....is the title of this song "Weekend" or "Lookout Weekend"? It's just "Weekend". Can we get a title change too?

I'm a bit confused....is the title of this song "Weekend" or "Lookout Weekend"? It's just "Weekend". Are you sure? It's a remake of the Debbie Deb original, which is called "Lookout Weekend." And Janet's version is listed in Mediabase as "Lookout Weekend." www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/DetailsStart.asp?sngcde=JACKLOW&format=H1M&mode=starterI know Janet's website lists it as simply "Weekend." But I think I'll leave the song title in the thread the way it currently is.
