2.0 out of 5 stars La Toya: People had this image of the Jacksons as the perfect American family and I destroyed that image, May 16, 2008

This review is from: You're Gonna Get (Audio CD)

I got this from one of those dollar stores, years and years ago. But I never could get into this cassette. I've always loved La Toya because she is so dramatic and theatrical and beautiful but frankly her music isn't very enjoyable or entertaining. All of these songs on this album sound very amateurish and almost have an underground quality to them; it almost sounds like 1 big song. I also have her country CD which falls in the so bad it's funny category. IMO La Toya should write a book, because that's where her talents are; she's a great story-teller. But from what I understand, her family put a stop to all the nonsense about 10 years ago when they "welcomed her back into the family." Since then, La Toya has recanted all of her outrageous and completely ludicrous statements. I am happy that she reconciled with her mother and father. Because even during all those years when La Toya went on coast-to-coast TV and said such hateful things about them you could always see that she was hurting and still really wanted a relationship with them. And I always think it's so funny when people criticize La Toya now for defending her brother. God forbid, if my brother or sister was ever accused of a horrible crime, I would sooner cut off my hand than say disparaging things about them because that's my family. So I can totally understand where she is coming from now. At least no one can ever say La Toya used Michael or Janet to advance her musical career.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's good, December 6, 2003

It's produced by Full Force and gave La Toya the spotlight in Europe and it actually is quite good. It's catchy, it was trendy and it's still interesting to listen to.

4.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT, January 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: You're Gonna Get (Audio CD)

This album is actually pretty good. She worked with a variety of different producers and some work..some don't. Full Force produced the title song which is actually pretty funky. But the spoken beginning is alot like the spoken intro to "Control"..suddenly announcing that this is the "new" LaToya so watch out!..They also produced a sickly sweet ballad "Not Giving Up on Love" that doesn't showcase her voice in the best light. Better give up on songs like this. "Does it Really Matter" is a perfect slice of eurodisco..with it's sly electronic beat and vapid faceless vocals..almost anyone could have sung this song and made it sound just as good. "Just Say No" is a tuneful song about not succumbing to drugs...sorry..no song by a Jackson is going to get some kid to not do drugs..The song is good, however. Since I don't have the acutal tape in front of me I'm not sure of this next title..but there is a song with the word "radio" in the title which is pretty good..upbeat..and a duet with some guy whose name escapes me..(and who has not been heard from since) called "If I Could Only Get to You" also a good song. Funky, up-beat..nice jam! You know..this album was good and sure she can't really sing that great..but she's not THAT BAD!!! Can Janet really sing? Well, not really! LaToya's contributions to record need to be represented on cd more. So there needs to be either a comprehensive compilation or her albums need to be released on cd. She made a song with Michael called "Nighttime Lover" which was awesome.. Mike wrote and produced it..Also her 2nd album "My Special Love' has some pretty good songs..some written by her brothers..and one "Camp Kuchi Kaiai" written with Janet.. Please forgive the title it's a good song. Also "Heart Don't Lie" was a minor hit..Her next album "Imagination" was good and had a song called "He's a Pretender" that was a hit for another group. Also a song called "On a Night Like This" which was a cross between "Rhythm of the Night" and "La Isla Bonita". Yes, I know way too much about Latoya's music but I just feel strongly about this. Search this cd or tape out..you won't be sorry. Or any of her other cd's...but I'll warn ya.."Bad Girl" is well..bad..sounds very dated sorry!
