Potent Quotables: James Disses Janet

James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem"I got a phone message from Janet Jackson ... I can't really do off-the-peg stuff, so I never called back." --James Murphy

LCD Soundsystem's frontman is in high demand thanks to his knack for creating unique, disco-infused beats. But superstars don't faze this New Yorker, who also once turned down an opportunity to write for Britney Spears.

You should have told the Police that your were there... Thats the only way you would know if he molested a Child. I think the Court found him not guilty. The mouth will let anything in it, and anything comes out of it.

Janet is not a good singer, she is affiliated with good songs because of excellent writers like Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis; she is an excellent entertainer, but she could use a vocal coach. When she sings her voice sounds like a cat in heat.
How can anyone knock this man because he says whom he will and will not work with…he has it like that, that’s why they go to him to seek his skills, he’s not chasing after them begging to write something. Just like we have choices of what we will and will not do wouldn’t you read someone the riot act if they called you crazy for your decisions?

i wouldn't have wasted my writing skills on her either. you can't ever tell what she's saying when she's singing anyway. i don't blame him for not writing for britney spears either. she sucks even more than janet.

Maybe James Murphy's music just doesn't fit well with some artists. I'm sure Janet Jackson would have been exciting over his beats, but James probably doesn't do big name artists. He just doesn't see his sound under Janet or Britney Spears' singing.

you all trip me out, some of yall are crackin me up...but face it, yes MJ since were still on the subject of him was the best artist world wide hands down and just because he touched lil boys doesnt mean anyone opinion changed. and to compare Janet to Beyonce is not right, Shes way better and so in Madonna, Janet wont come out with another hit, theres nothin left for her to do in the music business its ova! :)
