5.0 out of 5 stars The queen is back!!!, October 19, 2006

By	Joel Moreno "Jo Black" (Santo Domingo, R.D.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wow! What a wonderful album. Janet sounds better then ever. I'm a Janet's fan since ''Janet'' 1993. This is a great album to celebrate 20 years of success, popularity, fame, growth... All Janet does is great. My favorite songs are: 1-) So exited. 2-) Take care. 3-) enjoy. 4-) call on me. 5-)With U. The bonus tracks are great! They really make the album a special edition. Congratulations Janet!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Janet 20 Y.O. , January 8, 2007

By	Mr. Craig P. Johnson "Craig J" (Newcastle, N.S.W. AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Janet's project 20 y.o. in my opinion is a lot "lighter" than her previous albums. Even from the opening interlude she explains the album to be fun.
20 y.o. is just that! Don't go expecting too much from Janet - this album is about her life and where she is at - havin fun nothing more! The smooth ballads and strong beats display this projects direction, lyrically it tells it like Janet does.

Some of the Tracks on the album such as ENJOY is such a light groove and classic Janet. Her sweet voice is almost smiling through the track. This needs to be a single - even from first listen..you feel it. DAYBREAK is another sweet & light song on the album. Again DAYBREAK is not a cutting edge or strong track, but enough to get it stuck in your head til' next listen!

The released singles CALL ON ME and SO EXCITED really show off the direction Janet, Terry and Jimmy have travelled (not to far from traditional Janet style - but enough to notice). The added flavour of J Dupri - is like a hint of spice. SO EXCITED is a hot track - after a few plays - it is sure to please.

GET IT OUT ME, SHOW ME are next inline for the up-tempo tracks. Again, light and catchy. Take in the lyrics and smile. Water off a ducks back so to speak. The beats are the addictive feel.

I would suggest checking out the Japan release of 20 Y.O. due to the bonus tracks - ROLL WITCHU & DAYS GO BY... but in all I do like this album... it's like the direction of DAMITA JO but more on the higher paralelle direction....!

The vocals are warm, the harmonys are Janet filled and the beats are variety. Not cutting edge nor groundbreaking - but one of Janet's best. I love where the new direction is taking US all.

Till next album.. x

Roll witchu was the main reason I bought this cd. I love the whole album, I just can't stop listening to that song, the melody gets me everytime.
