5.0 out of 5 stars Janet IS The Best, 22 Oct 2009
The Best` really highlights the magnificent career of Janet Jackson, and is a great reminder of all the classic hits she has given us.

Disc 1 is similar to Janet`s previous greatest hits package (Design of a Deacde - 1995). It contains all of Janet`s singles from `Control` and `Rhythm Nation 1814` and the oh so popular duet with Luther Vandross (The Best Things in Life are Free). This disc includes many iconic numbers, such as Nasty, What Have You Done For Me Lately?, Nasty, Rhythm Nation and Black Cat. It also features `That`s the Way Love Goes` - one of Janet`s most successful singles, from her janet. album.

Disc 2 is a compilation of all her hits from 1993-2009. This is the first time these singles have been together on one disc - and so, this alone is a very good reason to buy this album. Some of Janet`s most popular UK singles are on disc 2, including `All For You`, `Runaway`, `Again`, `Whoops Now`, `Feedback` and the legendary `Together Again`.

The set also features one new track, `Make Me`, which is a throwback to the 80`s and is reminiscent of an early Janet or Michael (Jackson) dance number.

I would recommend `The Best` to any music fan, as it is a clear explanation of why Janet Jackson is one of the most successful singers of all time. A true icon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Janet's first complete greatest hits collection, 20 Oct 2009
By A. Hansen "honest eyes" (Heaven) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Finally we have a collection spanning all of Janet's career as her previous collection "Design Of A Decade" only centered around the Control and Rhythm Nation 1814 albums. All the biggest hits are here from What Have You Done For Me Lately (1986) to Feedback (2008) as well as the new song "Make Me". Unfortunately a handful of hits are missing like "You Want This", "Son Of A Gun", "Twenty Foreplay" and "Just A Little While". On the other hand we get songs where Janet Jackson was guest vocalist and that appear for the first time on a Janet album like "Diamonds" (Herb Alpert), "Scream" (Michael Jackson) and "What's It Gonna Be!?" (Busta Rhymes), as well as a rare (but unnecessary) remix of "When I Think Of You".

All in all a very good compilation capturing the essence of Janet Jackson's work from the last 23 years. Recommended to all serious JJ fans or anyone who doesn't own any of her previous work.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best?... Absolutely!, 26 Nov 2009
By J. Wright "jammieboy" (Luton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fantastic double CD complilation that details Janets career from 1986 to today - it really shows the incredible talent that Janet has and in fact what staying power she has. Her last couple of studio albums have not performed well on the charts, which is a real shame as they have been amazing - especially Discipline which I urge any pop, dance or r'n'b fan to check out. But here are so many gems that is easy to see why see is one of the best selling artists of all time. What I particularly love is Janets often un-praised production and song writing abilities. literally most of the tracks on this album have been written and produced by Janet along with her collaborators. Go on girl... Miss Janet!
