Once again Janet has proven that she is a true talent! September 12, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have enjoyed jantet's music for years, and she has not only grown lyrically, it also seems that she has had some spiritual growth as well. This collection picks up where "One day is tonite leaves off. Janet sends the message loud & clear Love who you are, Respect who others are, and Enoy yourselves. The sensuality in these lyrics are not about Exploitation, but self Explorations. I am very anxious to see where janet takes us next.
Her last great album to date. February 25, 2005

As a major Janet fan, "The Velvet Rope" to me was the last great album that Janet has released to date. A majority of the succeeding releases catered to the bottom of the barrel of the commercial dreck. But not on here. On this CD, Janet showcased a much more of a growing maturity and greater personal mood on this CD. Although many portray it as sad and down, I strongly disagree. While nothing like RN or Control, it is better than it's two following albums AFY and DJ and better than even the Janet album. Together again is a classic. Highly recommended.
going inside Janet's Velvet Rope is slammin' May 5, 2002

this is one of the best Janet albums ever!!!!!!!!!! This is one smashing album! I've got the u.k edition with 'Can't Be Stopped' as the bonus track. But I heard 'God's Stepchild on MTV a biography of her or something so I looked and looked for this special album and I bout it as soon as I saw it. I didn't car how much it was I payed it and it is worth it. God's Stepchild' is probably one of the best songs of her career bside'Rhtheym Nation. If ' I love this one and is deffently worth bying!!!
AMAZING! Janet's most personal album. December 22, 2003
Angelo Quatrocci (New York, United States)
How can you start off a review of anything by the incredible and incomparable Janet Jackson!!?? Janet is just simply stunning. Her work is always extremely thought out and beautiful. The Velvet Rope is Janet's most personal album. Dealing with issues such as hate, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, ignorance, love, acceptance and self respect, Janet has created a masterpiece. I'm a huge huge huge (not literally lol) fan of Janet and this album along with All For You are my top favorite albums by such a talented woman. This is a must have CD for any fan of pop, r&B, dance and funk. I'd say the standout track of the album would be title track opening the album up for listeners for a sneak peak of what's ahead in the CD. Simply, the song is about needing to feel special and accepting yourself for who you are. Everyone is beautiful in Janet's eyes, and she makes that clear in this touching album. The Japanese edition of The Velvet Rope contains a bonus track not available on any other version entitled, "God's Stepchild" which is a beautiful song about being loved by God. It is, however, available on the "Down In The Delta" soundtrack. I've read a lot of fans saying that this album replaces the hidden track, "Can't Be Stopped" but they are all wrong. The Japanese edition still contains the hidden bonus track, "Can't Be Stopped". "God's Stepchild" isn't replacing anything, it's just an amazing addition to this superb album. If you don't own the Velvet Rope, I strongly suggest buying the Japanese edition as it seems "complete" compared to the other international versions. JANET JACKSON FOREVER! HAHA, I LOVE YOU JANET!
Great CD December 9, 2001
B. Downey (New York, NY)
The US version of this CD was wonderful, with a track listing that is long, but very listenable. There aren't really any songs that need to be skipped. If you have the US version, and you like/love it, then go ahead and get this one; if you're still needing to get a Velvet Rope, then this one is a great choice- either buyer should be delighted by the extra track.
