@@leahflower9924 Ummm....I wouldn't say there was an androgynous dress code back then. Lol. Guys truly wanted to be masculine and cool. Women wanted to be chic and cute.
These days we have no time to scream like that due to us busy fiddling with our mobile phones trying to take good pictures and/or videos of our beloved artists performing on stage.
This was her break out performance...I have no words how amazing itbwas I still get chills when I see it....no one an even come near the energy she brings on stage..it's electric..the music & performances now are crap...33 yrs later...and no one can even come close to this performance.....flawless
Does anyone realize how hard it was to establish a successful solo career back then, when all anyone could talk about was her brother Michael?! Yet, despite having to compete with other megastars/mega talents like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Prince, and her own brother, Michael Jackson...Janet still managed to become the QUEEN OF POP!! JANET IS A STRAIGHT UP BEAST! AND A TRUE ICON 💯
Yup and in the audience while Madonna and Whitney watched that night they were low key impressed and pressed at the same time. Janet got massive love that night.
@@lyonsbridge77 You're right! You can hear the people go crazy right before, during, and after her performance! Lol even Diana Ross was impressed, thats why she said "Gon gurl!" 💯
@@lyonsbridge77 I don't think Whitney was pressed. She is the voice and loves Janet, she and Janet are good friends. I'm sure Madonna was pressed though, because despite her being more successful, she can't put on a performance like Janet did.
It was not that hard for her. Her family was already famous. She was given t.v. roles and a record deal strictly based on her last name. Her first 2 albums did not sell, any other artist would have been dropped. Janet had the privilege of years of perfecting her craft before the release of Control. There were no starving artist years for her, everything was given to her. With that said, she did actually work very hard in the dance studio and on her art. This performance is ICONIC!
ANY FEMALE PERFORMER since this era until now who does synchronized dance performances like this are living in the house that MS. JACKSON built because she started the game!!
The precision!! They must have rehearsed this for hours. I love how the camera never cut away from Janet during the performance. Nowadays they always go into the audience for reactions.
Did y'all see her face? How she didn't even quit her pose to take a bow or wave/smile? She was dropping the "little girl" act that night, and the look on her face after her performance ended just says it all. She had something to prove that night, and she knew she killed it with that LOOK.
I'm getting teary eyed reading these messages because I feel the same way..I'm 51 years old and I had my own dance group and we performed this number and when I watch this video it just bring me back..I luv Janet Jackson and I can't stop watching this video 👍
Miss Jackson!...if ya' nasty!....hey, baby girl was NOT playin games with ya'll!...she FINALLY stepped out front and never looked back. A true-blue DIVA. Much respect, Janet.
People don’t realize that prior to Janet and Madonna, solo female recording artists weren’t really seen as powerhouses in the music industry. They might have a single or two from an album, but they weren’t selling out stadiums and arenas as singular, solo artists. Donna Summer paved a way, but M and Miss J blew those doors right off their hinges. I remember this night and having high school friends all calling each other right afterwards because just like everyone in that audience, we all lost our goddamn minds over this performance and those moves. I mean, 1:53 like, WHAT?! This was the night that move was introduced. This was electric from beginning to end. Barry Lather killed it with this choreography and Janet sold and served it HOT. F*ing ICONIC
I think Madonna and Janet Jackson definitely made an impact in mainstream dance pop, and helped developed and solidify that genre (after disco). There were also other significant female pop stars at the same time in slightly different genres who were setting new highs: Tina Turner, Pat Benatar, and Stevie Nicks in rock pop; Whitney Houston in adult contemporary and R&B; Kate Bush in alternative pop; Cyndi Lauper and Belinda Carlisle in pop; and more.
Ruth Ann Doyle The jackson 5 were preparing fkr the Victory tour and took a break and went to a Laker game in 1983 season and noticed the Laker cheerleaders choreography and said WE need that. Its was crazy....Paula Abdul was responsible for a lot of the Jackson moves from 1984 til 1987. Paula didnt even know what hourly charge to invoice at the time.
one sided loyalty is for suckas please what he is right Paula Abdul did choreograph A lot of Janet choreography Such as control, when I think of you, and nasty boys so save your comments unless it’s facts
Paula Abdul wasn't the choreographer of this Awesome Performance it was Barry Lather the white guy with the longer hair he also was the choreographer of Pleasure Principal!
@@pavlovahernandez747 I don't think he was necessarily moving "too fast", that would have taken him out of line with everyone else. He was just a bit more aggressive then everyone else.....Going Hard.lol
When Janet's baby boy gets all grown.. and fully understands how great his mom is.. when he views all these timeless footage...along with her legacy of music royalness, worldwide accolades, awards and achievements... he will be one proud dude.
She made the right choice leaving the TV show Fame in 1985. It’s like she wrapped production on her last episode and rushed to Minneapolis just a few months later and began work on this album with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Rock on!
@@bobbybrown1389 ...Duh, the video and playback is out of sync not them. It happens when you upload music from VHS tape to TH-cam. Janet is moving same time as them is she out of sync too?
Michael Jackson is not the only Jackson with "THRILLING" Moves. HaHa. I alway's loved Michael Jackson and the brothers. But LOVE Janet Especially ! She is my Favorite Singer ! :)
The crowd went fucking nuts. One of the most iconic AMA performances in history. The 2:38 mark where she does that breakdown is just insane. There are so many amazing moves in this one performance, but my god during that point Janet is just going so hard. And this is exactly why Ms. Jackson is the Greatest female entertainer of all time. No one will ever top her.
I remember seeing this when it was airing live, and Janet Jackson was "Michael Jackson's little sister" to me. I had to pick up my jaw from the floor when it was over. Nobody danced like that!!! Wow.
Hearing legendary Diana Ross tell Janet at the end “Go on girl!” made me smile for sooo many reasons. Mainly the relationship they had with each other’s families through the years. Like a proud elder. The Princess of Pop got The Boss’ approval. Loved this performance. Janet was skyrocketing like a meteor at this point! Love her!!!!
this brings me excitement, goosebumps and tears! i was 16yo and THE biggest Janet fan on the planet. My friends and I ABSORBED every nuance of this video on a daily basis. This performance was my life lol.
You were not alone .. I went absolutely crazy following her every move, at a time when there was no internet, from a country where English music was not popular yet. Anyway, she made me into a dancer. I am 50 and still dancing
She's one of the very few artists who can get away without even trying to convince us that she's singing because damn, those moves are crisp! But at first I was like...where's the headset? lol
Can anyone even find a fault in this performance? Everything was so perfect. Every move, every gesture, every pose - perfect. Ms Ross was so happy for her.
Saw this live in the 80's. Never forgot her outstanding performance. We are the same age, wish I could of moved like that! A talented, energetic and beautiful lady. 😄
The Jackson family are talent'ed but Michael is the best of all them.He is one and only greatest singer, dancer and entertainer of all time.He is the king of music and dance.👑 Rip king we miss you.😭
I think Barry Lather might’ve choreographed this. He did The Pleasure Principal video and some of this choreo looks similar. He’s the dancer to her right.
@@suzyg20 Spot on yup that is him! This was in January, they did the grammy awards the next month which Barry also choreographed, then they recorded The Pleasure Principle video two months later hence, you see some of the same moves!
My friends and I spent a summer performing this routine at local fairs and parties. Won some prizes and had a BLAST. Best summer of my life as a a young woman. What a performer JJ came to be.
That’s when people truly enjoyed the artist without holding phones up and recording instead of being in the moment. Still today when I go see Janet and I always get anywhere from First Row to 5 th Row max seats I am annoyed by people recording instead of enjoying 🙂. Love Janet!
Quarantine2020 - I just relived 8th grade! I'm damn near 50 & yes I just slayed all this choreo in my living room (we did a talent show & used this performance) #JANET4EVA
A performance for the ages; it's still spectacular. Those dancers were off the charts. Number four was special, but number two was absolutely mesmerizing.
The intensity and powerful statement in this dance and choreography is rare and so special to the art form of DANCE. Way to go Ms. Jackson, the dancers and the choreographer.
I don't think people realize how many female R&B artists in the last 30 years have been influenced by this woman.
Hosteling
- So how many?
- Yes.
Female pop artist too
99% of them, in some way.
Soooo many.. THEEEE QUEEN AND MOST INFLUENTIAL.. JLo, Britney, Pink, Beyonce, Ciara, Selena( RIP), Aaliyah( RIP), Ciara, Teyana Taylor, Tinashe, Normani, Mila J, Cassie, Etc Etc Etc.
She is the blue print for all of today's female entertainers
Hell yes
Definitely the textbook model.
MOST DEFINITELY OF ALL TIME 🎉❤🫱🏽🫲🏿

I like the androgynous thing she did sometimes where the guys and girls wear the same thing I guess that was popular in the 80s

Always the hottest moves. No one dances better than MJ and Janet.

Facts
You know you made ICON status when the DIVA herself, Ms. Diana Ross presents you.
Say what you want but no other woman moved and commanded a stage like she does
That's true it's the same command she had as a six year old when everyone thought it was cute she is constantly evolving
Total Goddess! 🙏😊💗🌍
💗 forever 😇🙏🌹🌟🌼I saw her in concert when I was 16. 🙏😊💗🌍 I love MJ so much too! 💗🙏🌍🌈 RIP MJ

Right! Diana was a proud Auntie!
“At 10 top for 24 weeks” QUEEN SHIT 👑👏🏻

Janet killed it. I can watch this a thousand times !!!
4:07 Diana looking like a proud mother here; this scene is so wholesome ♡. Then she says _"I knew her when she was a baby"_ 🤷🏿♀️ ♡ adorable

That's baby Janet!!!!
I can watch this a billion times and not be bored.
I agree with you a zillion percent! Give me goosebumps. Even though it is lip syncing, but the performance is classic.
Listen to the audience, you'd think it was a Janet concert! Nope, just 4 min performance. She was the hottest thing since slice bread!
who's here in 2021?!!! Love Janet!
Man oh man her dancers are just always on point since DAY ONE
Classic...and I love Diana saying "Go On Girl" at 4:07 LOL She knew Janet rocked it!
