Officials in Singapore threw out an appeal against a ban on Janet Jackson's latest album, All For You. They decided that the lyrics of the album, particularly one song, Would You Mind, were "not acceptable to our society". The record was initially outlawed because of its "sexually explicit lyrics", including "I just wanna touch you, tease you, lick you, please you, love you, make love to you." EMI were attempting a compromise by trying to persuade Jackson's management to delete Would You Mind from the album.
