Jun 22, 2020Recuerdo cuando en los años 90 Janet no se cansaba de decir que Madonna era vulgar y sin clase, parece que cuando hizo este álbum se mordió la lengua porque es de lejos lo más mugroso que ha hecho en toda su carrera.

PennyWOct 3, 2006I'm a big fan of Janet Jackson. I've bought all of her albums except for Dream Street (if anyone remembers that album). Some people would say that Dream Street was her low point. Janet has somehow managed to relive her Dream Street days on this release by trying to cater an audience that doesn't even realize Dream Street exists. It doesn't work.

KatieGOct 3, 2006Janet is the ultimate... I love the CD... I see her doing at least two more videos for this CD. She's an artist and a entertainer. If you've been a fan of Janet's over the years then you'll understand this CD... and trust their will be many more to come... I love you Janet... Your biggest fan... Rep... Dallas, TX

DustinWOct 4, 2006It is a great step up for Janet. I hope this C.D. will let America know that she is a true star and not just a nipple.

CaptainJackSparrowSep 27, 2006Good or bad, don't trust the reviews. There are a lot of biases towards and against Janet right now. Judge this album for yourself. If you can forget about her last name, forget about her brother, forget about the darn superbowl, I can't imagine you wont at least feel it was worth the 9.99 it cost to buy. Janet delivers.

larrycOct 1, 2006the sogns that really standout are the jerry jame and terry lewis ones. the jermaine dupri produced tracks ae notvery exciting. two of his production, though,do standout. "show me" and "with u" are nice tracks, teh latter being one of the best tracks.

BenMOct 15, 2006Great Beats! 1st half is very funky and very dancy!! 2nd half is a bit slow for me but I think this album is definately better/more successful than Damita Jo

DakotaPOct 2, 2006Janet brought it with this record the production is on point the songs are timeless and JD took it to a new level make way for the return on the Queen. it's easy to see how this album will make #1. Great body of work!

EricLOct 26, 2006What ever happened to the originality that she had on her previous albums ? It's all gone, especially since Damita Jo. It's like she lost all of her inspiration that made her early music sound so much better than the rest. I think she should keep M.Dupri in the bedroom and out of the studio. What success has he had lately ?
-
-
MattD.Oct 3, 2006Pleasant, but with too few stand outs. Probably won't put her back on top of the R&B scene.

ShirleyHSep 29, 2006This album is a huge dissapointment...once again. It's been nearly a decade since Janet's put out a album worthy of putting her name on the cover. 20 Y.O. is garbage.

[Anonymous]Sep 27, 200620 YO: A Celebration! Welcome back Janet! There is a great mix of dance, funk, and soul! "Get It Out Me", "This Body", "Daybreak", "With You" and "Enjoy are some highlights. Worth the $14 for the CD!

ClaudiaVSep 27, 2006I just bought six copies of Janet's album cause I just can't get enough! All the songs are great and are what I expected from her, with a drop of "ghetto". For those of you who don't already have the album, please go buy it today, and for those of you who have, BUY ANOTHER ONE! GREAT SONGS AND BEATS!

JessiePSep 27, 2006Great album. I thought it woud be horrible, but I think it's better than Maraih Carey's "Emancipation of MIMI" and WAAY better than Beyonce "B-Day". Im really enjoying it!

JennaBSep 28, 2006I've never heard of her before.

Oct 21, 2017Bom CD R&B, com produção em sua maioria feita por Jermaine Dupri, que na época tinha um relacionamento amoroso com Janet. O Cd tem a romântica balada "Call on Me", com participação de Nelly que foi a música mais marcante do álbum.
-
Nov 5, 2016Such an Amazing come back since Damita Jo is a terrible album. This album is mainly intended for dancing but it ends up working. I highlight tracks as Call on Me, do it 2 me, Get it out Me and So Exited.
-
Jul 25, 2017Apesar de pouca semelhança aos seus trabalhos iniciais, Jackson arrisca em uma nova produção em seu último trabalho pela Virgin. Ainda como consequência do desastroso Halftime no Superbowl, Janet ainda é eclipsada, o que faz com que um ótimo trabalho não seja observado como deve.
-
Nov 11, 2017Pior álbum dela sem dúvida alguma, Dupri fez do álbum o que ele quis e saiu um álbum cheio de demos, apenas "So Excited" chama atenção, pois o resto são músicas totalmente mal feitas com letras genéricas.

Jun 15, 2019Whoever let her record this crap should get arrested the minute she was allowed inside the studio. How can someone in perfect mental health listen and relax to this ? Pure **** ZERO
-
Sep 27, 2020Let me start by saying that this is not a bad album. I don’t know if Janet did this album fast because she wanted it to be released on Control's 20th anniversary, but the album sounds like generic 2000s R&B with some some exceptions like Take Care, Enjoy and So Excited

Apr 28, 2021That is my favorite album ever! All the songs are just magical and awesome. The full project sounds very good, i listen to it everyday. I'm pretty sure that this album just have a bad reputation cause of the media. If was a man releasing this, it would be sucessful until today.

Jul 2, 202220 Y.O. is full of barely any hits and just full of bland, tedious dance track fillers that add nothing to her career. All the songs are very loud, boring, and lacks in anything new and exciting. Lyrics aren't up to the standards of Janet at her peak, and her voice is the only highlight of all songs. Love 2 Love by far is the worst on the album! #ugh
Awards & Rankings
-
The saddest thing about 20 Y.O. is that Janet's decision to hedge her bets on an album whose backbone is made up of terrible R&B instead of great dance music.
-
Janet is as crafty and poised as ever. Her flirtations are still a pleasure, but an overly familiar one.
-
Dated songs like "So Excited" and "Do It 2 Me" end up sounding like they're, well, 20 years old.
