  Damita Jo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Damita Jo was an album released by Janet Jackson on March 30, 2004 on Virgin Records.
Released during the hectic period where the singer had generated heat for her Super Bowl fallout earlier in the month and the mega-success of Usher, who had released his Confessions the previous week, Damita Jo was considered a major sales disappointment compared to Jackson's previous efforts.
The majority of reviews were somewhat negative, with critics critiquing either the controversy over the Super Bowl or comparing it to some of the songs (which were composed well before she performed there).

 Janet Jackson: Damita Jo (2004): Reviews
What's titillating about Damita Jo isn't some easy flash of sexuality, but the varied soundbeds that Jackson and her producers create to house her love games, and the confidence with which she plays.
Damita Jo, sadly, is an outdated product of the turn-of-the-millennium pop scene, in which female singers conflated sexual openness with empowerment.
Damita Jo showcases Janets ever increasing self awareness, while also containing the many sweet R&B tracks that has made her such a success.

Toward the end of the year Damita Jo leaves the Red Caps group and signs a recording contract as a solo artist with Columbia Records, but nothing in the line of success ever becomes of the agreement.
Damita Jo returned to the Red Caps in the later fifties recording for the Hunt label.
Damita Jo's answer was released on Mercury Records #71698 and called (naturally) "I'll Save The Last Dance For You".

 Janet plays coy on racy 'Damita Jo' - The Washington Times: Entertainment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Damita Jo DuBlanc was an R&B singer in the 1950s and '60s, but the association here is unintentional.
On "Damita Jo," produced mostly by the dance-pop singer's confederates Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, it functions as the alter ego to her celebrity — the real Janet, the personal Janet.
The only difference between the Super Bowl and "Damita Jo" is that she won't be apologizing for the latter.

 JS Online: No stunt can help 'Damita Jo'
Jackson needs cheap publicity thrills such as the flash seen 'round the world and her calculated sexy squirming during Letterman's interrogation to keep her in the public eye because she doesn't have an album that's worthwhile on its own musical merits.
But the bulk of "Damita" is made up of forgettable R&B filler in which Jackson seems to be on autopilot.
As hypersexed and unconvincing as the digitally tweaked portrait on the album cover, "Damita Jo" is Jackson's biggest flop to date.

 Damita Jo: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Damita Jo DuBlanc has been active in both music and comedy since the '50s.
She was twice featured vocalist with Steve Gibson [+] and the Red Caps, from 1951 to 1953 and 1959 to 1960, while also married to Gibson.
Jo had two Top 20 RandB singles in 1960 and 1961, with "I'll Save The Last Dance For You" being a clever answer record to the Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me." Her 1961 single "I'll Be There" peaked at #12 on the pop charts and was a number 15 RandB hit.

 Janet Jackson - Damita Jo - Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Nonetheless… As you and everyone else in their living room watched, gasped, and screamed, "DAYUM did you see that!??!?!?" Little did we know the "costume malfunction" was preppin' us for the heavily marinated, uninhibited sexualism, and free spirited Damita Jo album.
'Damita Jo', on the other hand, finds her flailing club-footedly some twelve steps behind contemporary R&B, whispering distractedly through a seemingly unending array of interludes and phoning in songs that even Mariah at her most barely-there would dismiss as a trifle on the insipid side.
R&B is primarily a singles genre - even the peerless Aaliyah's albums were a bit of a slog - but Damita Jo's strike rate is remarkably high.

 Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / On 'Damita Jo,' Jackson labors for love
Long before her bejeweled right breast made a surprise appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show last month, Jackson was using sex as a marketing ploy and headline-grabber, the better to distract people from her whisper of a voice.
Damita Jo, which is Jackson's middle name, is presented as one of those characters, a sexually liberated woman unafraid of letting a man know exactly what she wants, and how she wants it.
Efficiently produced by her longtime collaborators, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, "Damita Jo" isn't a bad album, but it lacks the seductive joy of "Control," "Rhythm Nation 1814," and "The Velvet Rope." At a point in her career where making music should seem effortless, "Damita Jo" feels unnecessarily labored.

'Damita Jo' (Jackson's eighth studio album) follows on from2001's 'All For You' and keeps to the pop r'n'b formula that has made her a household name.
''Damita Jo'' was a big deal for Janet Jackson - this needed to be a truly unmissable album to bring her back to form.
I've loved her music since the beginning of time (well, when she started!) and even though the last album (All For You) was a bit of a let down, i was hoping for something stronger in Damita Jo.

Those words were recorded long before Jackson wound up America with her breast-baring exploits at the halftime show at the 2004 Super Bowl, but they nevertheless play like an casual response to the hysteria that...
With its preponderance of slow-tempo, sensual grooves, sexual imagery, the occasional up-tempo jam, and endless spoken interludes, it provided the blueprint for every record she made since, from the heavy eroticism of 1997's The Velvet Rope to the bedroom sighs of 2001's All for You.
The latter suggested that she was abandoning the explicitness of The Velvet Rope, but Damita Jo proves that she was merely flirting with modesty, since it's as explicit as pop music gets.

Opening sales of Jackson's heavily promoted Damita Jo fell short of Usher's Confessions, which remains No. 1 after adding 486,000 copies to last week's debut of 1.6 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Jo lands at No. 2 with 381,000 copies, the biggest of 14 new arrivals in the top 100.
•Jo outpaced recent debuts by Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera, but it failed to reach the opening of 2001 predecessor All for One by 37%, and it's the only Jackson studio album in the SoundScan era to miss entering at No. 1.

Just as the furor over her notorious exposure at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show died down in the spring of 2004, the iconic Janet Jackson unleashed DAMITA JO.
While the soul-baring, bedroom-eyed record is unlikely to win over anyone scandalized by her Super Bowl antics, Jackson's fans--and fans of sensual, soulful pop in general--should enjoy the sultry outing, which continues the theme of sexual discovery that she began on 1993's JANET.
With over two decades of dominating the charts and a lifetime as musical royalty, Jackson knows her way around a tune, and DAMITA JO is swimming in pop hooks.

On her eighth studio album, Damita Jo--the title lifted from her middle name--Janet Jackson teams up with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis once again on what is perhaps the most feverish album in her two decade long career.
Whether she's taking the listener on a torrid excursion in the four song island suite, or boasting of her sexual prowess on "Sexhibition's" word games lyrics, where she tells fans "relax, it's just sex," the singer tries hard--maybe too hard--to establish herself as a sexual avatar with portfolio.
Damita Jo opens with the intro "Looking For Love," before slamming straight into a triple-whammy of three short, sexy and very funky tracks that set the tone for the album.

 Janet Jackson --`Damita Jo` (printable version)
In fact, “Damita Jo” is poor by any artist’s standards, and the timing is unfortunate for Miss Jackson.
She’s a great singer but Jackson has little to actually sing to on “Damita Jo.” Instead, many of her vocals are as indistinct as her brother’s barking non-style, and lyrically she often substitutes “sexually explicit” for “sexy” — something that wasn’t the case with her engaging 1980s work.
The only bright spot is buried at the end: “Just a Little While,” an energetic, guitar-driven track with a sackful of killer hooks, a playful sexuality close to vintage Prince and thoughtful production touches (Note to Janet: work with producer/writer Dallas Austin more).
