Not my ideal winner, but hey! She's pretty fine. This was an instant favourite the first time I played the album, and although it isn't anymore it is still a really good song. I think what separates this from Velvet Rope is that here Janet is complemented by Kathleen and not overshadowed. Her attitude here is really noteworthy, she has a spunk or anger that feels a bit more adult or mature than the attitude on say Nasty did, and I think songs like this really lay the foundation for What About or similar themed songs. It has a 7 minute running time, but it uses every bit of that to make a truly awesome picture.
Auburn thinks it's "truly epic", but
ECNEICSNOC argues that it's "not as epic as it thinks it is, but enjoyable, nonetheless."
rockwitu08 thinks " those opera vocals are orgasmic" and
eli's_rhythm is mixed in his praise, "Great, but overrated."
Though not my personal choice, I think it;s fitting that this final write-up goes to the winner. Take it away,
Vilppu!
"One of Janet, her longest songs, and definitely makes use of all of its (nearly) 7 minutes. It honestly has everything: an outstanding vocal performance, both by Ms. Jackson whose personality elevates it to an almost unreachable level, and Kathleen Battle, without her soprano it wouldn't be half as remarkable. Both the verses and the chorus are very strong on their own, but only as a sum they make something out-of-this-world perfect. Despite the fact that janet. as a whole has a bit of 1990s feeling, it's not timeless, This Time still sounds incredibly fresh and inspiring. It also features one of my favourite lyrics by her, it's Janet at her most confident and in fact emotional, even if she tries to stay cold and distanced. And the 'you're dismissed' at the very end! All in all, it just seems like a complete track and kind of her magnum opus." Amen.
You're dismissed. 
I wanted Night to snatch for the meltdowns.
