Another Review from Australian Listening Party

Mimi V Janet - The Showdown

The Buzz section with Nui Te Koha and James Wigney 27/1/08

A CHART battle is looming for Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson . Jackson will release her new album Discipline, on Feb 26, Carey's long player, tentatively titled I'm that chick is due on April 1. And judging by new tracks previewed at a Melbourne listening session last week, Mimi will blitz.

Carey beats, lyrics, and vocal delivery are superior. Mimi's new songs are about love, lust, being played and her breakdown - or her "breakthrough" as a Carey describes it.

Touch my body , shortlisted as the first single, hints at a new celebrity must have - a sex tape. "If there's a camera up in here then i'd best not catch this flick on YouTube" Carey warns.

"If you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous I will hunt you down"

Collaborating producers include Jermaine Dupri, Polow Da Don, Stargate, Danja, Tricky Sterwart and The Dream

By comparison, the new Janet is geared to the clubs.
