Another Masterpiece.......2006-10-27

Janet is such a wonderful artist. Usually I don't go for remixes, but this one caught my attention. Janet has produced another catchy, beautiful song. I truly admire her talent.

This is the import version of Doesnt Really Matter, Janet's hot latest single. This is a 3 track cd with the video as an added bonus, something the US release doesnt have. The remixes are good, although the Jonathan Peters one is a little boring, I dont think he did good justice to the song. The Rockwilder remix rules. So you should get this because it has remixes and it also has the video, and added bonus!

She's nutty, nutty, nutty........2000-08-20

OK, track listing for the UK edition of this single

1) Radio Edit - 4:18

2) Rockwilder Mix - 5:01

3) Jonathan Peters Club Mix - 8:49

You've probably already heard the original version of this song (it is getting airplay like mad), and if you have heard it, you know it is one of Janet's freshest and most catchy songs (although some people have said that they have a hard time understanding everything that Janet says).

The remixes on this version aren't too bad either! The Rockwilder mix is still in the R&B vein, but the beats are a little bit harder than the original version, a little more "jeepin'" so to speak, doesn't drift too far from the original, but gives it a nice facelift nonetheless. Also, I find that the words are a little bit easier to understand in this version.

The Jonathan Peters mix is not typical Jonathan. We're used to seeing him tear up the club floors with his remixes (Aretha Franklin, Paula Cole, Whitney Houston & Deborah Cox are some of the artists he has reworked). Well with this one, he does give Janet a funky house beat to it, but keeps it nice and light (which is a good idea considering the content of the song), and it works well.

Also included on the UK edition of the single is the CD-ROM video for "Doesn't Really Matter".

This song has a great message!.......2005-06-29

This song is about inner beauty. "Doesn't really matter what the eye can see/cause I'm in love with the inner being". Janet is the best!!! Her songs always have great messages.

Review for "Doesn't Really Matter" by Janet.......2004-11-06

Unlike some of her more recent efforts like "Damita Jo" and "All For You", this song is just a good, clean dance number. The remixes are so-so... the Jonathan Peters Club Mix is really good but its just simply too long (I've never been a fan of 8 minute remixes). The intro of the "Dance All Day" remix makes it seem like you're about to hear something particularly special, but 30 seconds into the track, you're already reaching for the "NEXT TRACK" button on your CD player. The other remix isn't even worth mentioning because it's just so bland. This is one of her best songs since "Rhythm Nation". Buy it for the original version; if you are buying it to hear the remixes, you're making a mistake.

Janet is incredible!.......2002-02-05

This song is so cute and has a great message. Janet has an incredible voice and I think this song shows it off pretty well. The only major flaw is that this song was played soooo much, which just proves how good it really is.

The first remix on this single sounds kind of cool. The background just bugs me a little bit, but I guess that's the sound they were going for. I dunno. I wouldn't have overdone the bass so much or had what sounds like a bird call in the back. It kind of distracts from Janet's talent.

The second sounds more Latin/Tropical. It has the big drum beat going and it just makes you want to get up and groove. This one doesn't make Janet sound horrible. It actually enhances the sound of her voice with complimenting sounds. The only problem is that it is SOOOO long! It's eight-and-a-half minutes long!

The third starts out with more of a cheap eighties sound. It goes on to have an interesting sound, but not that great. I mean, it sounds good, but I just don't really prefer it to the previous remix. (It's better than the first remix on the CD.) It's kind of sped up, but it ends up being longer than the original version, because of all the additions to it for the remixes.

Good the first million times.......2002-01-26

Okay, I've always been a Janet Jackson fan. Afterall, besides the fact that we both are singers, we share another commonality. :)

This song is really good to dance to and it has a great message. I think that it really shows that pop has grown up from the songs of my parents' youth (i.e. 'Puppy Love') to express points of view that you can love people no matter what they look like.

The only bad thing about this song is that around here, it was played almost everyday more than once a day for over a year. That got pretty annoying!

This is where I started tuning out........2002-01-25

After the amazing Velvet Rope record a few years before Janet returns with what I thought was her weakest song to date at the time of it's release. It's mundane, boring, commercial and uninventive. Is this the talented Janet that I once admired. To me Janet started going downhill after the Velvet Rope with the god-awful known as Girlfriend/Boyfriend and she lost it for good with the bowl of commercial vomit known as All For You. This single I find to be quite annoying and gets on my nerves. It showed the hip-hop direction that plagues Janet to this day. Why Janet? ...

I did not necessarily expect another Velvet Rope-esque song from Janet shortly before this single but what a dissapointment! And Janet would get worse with the terrible All For You album the following year. Until janet can break the bondage of commercial hip-hop that has had her in shackles this is a fan either on hold or is jumping ship.
