3.0 out of 5 stars The bonus tracks should have been on the worldwide version., October 11, 2004

By	Robert Parsons (Up north) - See all my reviews

Damita Jo is not my favorite Janet CD, in fact I think it's one of her weakest releases to date.. and that's why I don't understand why two of the best songs are only found on this very expensive Japanese version.
She should have dropped some of the boring ballads such as the embarrising and unsexy "Warmth" and "Moist" and put these pretty little songs on the CD instead.
I hope her next project sounds more original and fresh because I'm not buying ONE more Janet CD about sex. Enough is enough!

4.0 out of 5 stars About extra tracks, May 14, 2004

By	Cynthia Selene (Miskolc, Hungary) - See all my reviews

I don't really like this policy of putting bonus songs on expensive Japanese import albums only, I guess 99% of fans will end up downloading them from the internet. The record company will whine over it, but they asked for it. Now really, what's this discrimination? We love Janet's music as much as the Japanese folks do.

Anyway, about the songs: "I'm Here" is a slow song, I'm not much into it, Janet's previous albums had better bonus tracks (like "Who" on All For You and "God's Stepchild" on The Velvet Rope").

"Put Your Hands On Me" is a more uptempo song, it is definitely the better of the two songs. It would be good if it were included on all editions of the album and the dull songs like "Moist" and "Warmth" were left off instead.

There's also a song called "Could This Be Love" which is not on this edition of the album and I can't find out on which edition it is, but I've heard it and it's good, try to find it somewhere. It's a slow song and better than "I'm Here".

4.0 out of 5 stars Bonus tracks help a lot !!!!, October 7, 2004

By	mewayah "houston" (toulon, france & houston,tx) - See all my reviews

I have the 2 Damita Jo versions and I must say that the 2 bonus tracks raise the quality of her last work. Well, it is not a bad album, but it is kind of "dull" and repetitive. Technically the album is really well done, but it doesn't have the same energy or power than the others (janet, Velvet Rope). She manages to use perfectly different styles: Hip hop, Rock, R&B, Dance... but it still has less energy, less powerful lyrics... AND I think we all already know that she LOVES sex...
"I'm here" (very R&B) and "Put your hands on" (dancing...) are really good and should have been on the original album. My favorite songs are "Sexhibition" (unfortunately too short) "R&B Junkie", "All nite", "Put your hands on": the catchy songs & "Spending time with you" and "I'm here".
I regret that the "Country interlude" is not a song :(

I am a huge fan of Miss Janet, but this album is not her best.
