Janet Jackson's "bump and grind"

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Though mid-tempo and slow songs reveal Jackson's limits as a singer, "I Get Lonely" is one of her best efforts while singing to a slower rhythm. Written by Jackson, longtime recording associates Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, along with her then-husband Rene Elizondo, the song, in its original state, is quite good; however, the remix versions, featuring BLACKstreet, and arranged by Teddy Riley, take the song into a sexual stratosphere, making it a highly charged ditty, designed to alleviate one's "boredom".
The disc loses one star for the overlong and rather silly-sounding "Janet vs. Jason - The Club Remix").
All dance tracks are not created equal.

"This is one of my favorite Janet songs. The Single has some highs and lows, though...
Tracks:
1. I Get Lonely (TNT Remix ft. BLACKstreet)
2. I Get Lonely (TNT Bonus Beat Remix ft. BLACKstreet)
3. I Get Lonely (Janet Vs. Jason - The Club Remix)
4. I Get Lonely (Jam & Lewis Feel My Bass Mix)
5. I Get Lonely (Album Version)
Tracks 1 & 2 are awesome, but track 2 is kinda boring...
Tracks 4 & 5 are good, but track 5 is exceptional!
Track 3 is really silly, and is awful, which is why this is 4 stars...too bad..."
