I wanna feel soft and pretty

Funky Town Grooves recently issued expanded and remastered editions of La Toya Jackson's third and fourth albums, Heart Don't Lie and Imagination. They are really something, to say the least. I reviewed them for MTV Hive. Since the noises that come out of this woman's mouth are often unbelievable, I thought it necessary to collect her best screeches, interjections and declarations in a soundboard. It's below. Turn your speakers down (off, even!) and have fun. (I highly suggest at least listening to the very last file, the last minute of the slow jam "Love Talk." You'll thank me.)

#7 sounds like Patsy Kensit from Eighth Wonder

Interesting how "On A Night Like This" reminded you of DeBarge's "Rhythm Of The Night". It reminded me more of Lionel's "All Night Long".

Whatever the case, I think it's a great song. Nothing for her to be embarrassed about on that track.

Laugh if you will at her musical output, but if you keep listening long enough, even the most critical queen should admit there are occasional moments where she gets it just right (eg. "Starting Over", "Bad Girl", "Just Wanna Dance", "On A Night Like This", "Hot Potato".)

Very useful website. Nice piece of info, keep up all the work

Is it just me or does she sound almost EXACTLY like Diana Ross. I have always thought Diana was one of the most overrated singers in history. Janet Jackson has a stronger voice than Diana, and that's not saying that much. I love some of her songs though. Back to LaToya. I kinda feel bad for her. She just didn't have that Jackson magic, did she?

RICH! I just about fell over when I saw your first post on Gawker today! Congratulations to you and to Gawker's readership, who get the great gift of your writing. fourfour and Gawker have been my two consistent go-to's since *2005* -- having you two in one place makes my heart swell with pride, boy!

Thankyou for the link to Funky Town Grooves I contacted them & asked if they could please reissue the 'Apollonia 6' CD.

I can't handle more than a few minutes of La Toya's music. Musical roadkill. God love her.

hey Rich, do you cover Drag Race in any of your non-FourFour writing gigs?

In the care of friendship, in care of deeper, more warm affection let in honest heart, let more calm in the simple life, let blessing in greeting, the network can better meet you, I just want to know you say it.

¡Guau! Estoy disfrutando mucho de la plantilla / tema de este sitio web. Es muy sencillo, pero eficaz. Muchas veces es difícil conseguir ese "equilibrio perfecto" entre la facilidad de uso excepcional y el aspecto visual. Debo decir que has hecho un trabajo fantástico con este. Además, el blog carga muy rápido para mí en el Internet Explorer. Excepcional Blog!

Buna ziua Sunt atat de emotionat am gasit pagina de blog, am gasit chiar te de accident, în timp ce am fost în căutare de pe Yahoo pentru altceva, oricum
Eu sunt aici, acum şi-ar dori doar să spun multumesc pentru un fantastic
post şi un blog pe tot parcursul plăcut (îmi place, de asemenea, tema / proiect)

[Lipstick Mystic]

SOOO thrilled that you're writing for Gawker now. I hope they treat you well, pay you real money instead of virtual money or whatever Denton is rumored to be into, and that the entire experience goes really well. I loved your piece posted there about Winston but was heartbroken to read about your "losing" him -- not to mention the relationship with your guy. That's a double whammy of pain. Take care of yourself!

Ses délicieux repas et le sourire calme a honoré la cabine et Marta Edward a travaillé et joué et ri, mais jamais aimé. Amanda

[iPad keylogger]
