Yesss the movie with Tupac. I also remember a song of TLC being played in that movie. I used to like the beat it was so ahead of that time, but I can’t remember the name.
I still claim you are the only reactor that constantly brings back the nostalgia of my childhood and teen years. I LOVED this song despite being very much into heavy metal and punk music at the time.
Agreed. There is just something about that time for music I cannot explain. Cause if I were to, I would be writing for hours lol. Today's music just doesn't measure up to it.
80's and 90's Janet Jackson was pretty much an automatic hit maker, over and over. She had her "indepedence" phase in the 80's trying to get away from her parents, and then she had the great mature sound in the 90's thanks to her producers. I really miss 90's music . . . so good! We didn't know how good we had it back then. I know today's music isn't made for my ears, but it's so hard for me to even consider today's stuff even music. I know every generation says this, but really, none of it is coherent and much of the computer-generated stuff is just white noise people listen to on their ear pods to pass the time.
I miss 90’s music, so much. Especially R&B. When everyone was an equally spectacular singer, live. Mariah, Whitney, BoyzIIMen, Johnny Gill, New Edition...we had it sooooo good.
This is 1 out of 10 of Janet’s singles that reached #1 on billboard hot 100. Janet is dope and one of the greatest artist in history. We need you to react to more Janet from the “Control” era 1986: Let’s wait awhile, control, Nasty and when I think of you.
My best Janet Jackson song by far. I used to be obsessed with this song back in the day. I wish she did a lot more songs like this, cuz her voice is so beautiful and feminine.
Janet makes the best ballads-the melody and the layering of her background vocals are ethereal! Try “Let’s Wait Awhile” / “Come Back To Me” / “Anytime, Any Place” / “I Get Lonely”
Janet! The Queen! She's brilliant, as great doing ballads as she is doing upbeat numbers. Oh and the gorgeous actor Gary Dourdan in the video (Warwick from CSI Vegas)! :)
Like her brother Michael she is a MASTER of recreating herself with each project. I think I've said a few times she's my all time favorite female artist sorry if you're sick of hearing that. Lol
So, who else went out of their way to find clothes like she's wearing when this was released? Lol. Now I knit, so I could recreate this top for myself whenever I want.
For me Janet never fell off. Every album I've heard has great music on it, right up to her last one in 2015. But 90's Janet for me also was just at her absolute best. But that's probably the nostalgia for my childhood.
The guy in the video wasn't her boyfriend. She was married to a director at the time. She did have a real glow to her in that period. That's the era I discovered her. So much light in her. She's a special lady!
This is the love song from the film “Poetic Justice” that she starred in with Tupac! She was nominated for an Oscar for “Again” in the best song featured in a film category.
This was from the “Janet” album, 1993-94. When this album came out, it blew everybody away…she switched up and reinvented herself with this record. She went from the military, Tomboy-ish to a pure sex symbol when this album was released
It was on the " Poetic Justice " movie soundtrack which she also starred in with 2pac . I'd definitely recommend the movie . It's a classic. Great Review ....
The guy in the video is actor Gary Dourdan. He used to be on the TV show A Different World and also the show CSI as being some of his more popular. Janet was married to Rene Elizondo Jr during this time who also directed this video.
Versatile beauty. He has given us dance songs that we continue to dance to and love songs that we continue to love. Hopefully they would continue with programs like this so that the new generation knows that she continues to maintain many records that they have not been able to overcome and that to this day she is the most successful female singer of color in history.
Oh this song takes me back. Janet has always been underrated, but maybe I think that because I’m in the UK, and MJ was so huge when I was growing up. I think you’ll really love ‘Let’s Wait a While’. It’s one of Janet’s earlier songs in 1986 I think. It’s beautiful too
We are listening to the queen of pop Janet Jackson and I am enjoying it with you God bless you your family and your friends you have a wonderful fantastic awesome bless safe beautiful day enjoy the rest of your day love you 🙏📖😊❤️
I remember when the radio station, (WGCI F.M. Chicago), premiered this album just before it's release, back in 1993, I fell in love with this song at the first few bars of the intro!! It may not be one of Janet's bigger hits, but to me, it's definitely in the top five!!!
Amazing song, Janet's catalog of songs is extraordinary. She sounds like an angel in this. You are one of the few that has covered this song Thank you.
Oh gosh, one of Janet's best performances. My Mom loves this one, too. Such a contrast against Janet's more risque and fun songs. So soft and tender and genuine. I still get goosebumps hearing this. That chord progression at the end, after her broken expression and delivery...it does me in. Your jaw-drop! See? She's a beauty, isn't she? A lovely voice.
One of my favorite J.J. songs. Her soft vocals goes so perfect with the music. This is one of the many hits from the Janet album. Everytime I see this video I'm like look at dude from A Different World. I think that Janet was having more input and control of her music, so she seemed to be so much happier.
I was crushing so hard on Janet during this particular era that i remember getting a poster as a present from my High School friends lol, and can you blame me? she's always been beautiful but there was something extra special going on back then and i'm glad you picked up on that.
I love this song, it's gorgeous. I fell in love with it when I heard it in the movie 'Poetic Justice' one of my fav films and incredibly underrated. It also has 2Pac in, he and Janet play love interests. Definitely worth a watch tho!
This taking me back to some fun times. Going out with girlfriends, falling in and out of love ❤️ thank you for reacting to nostalgic times for some of us. Janet was in a good place at that time and it shows through her , she looks so radiant. Her voice is so beautiful too.
I watch a lot of your videos and I don't know how I missed this one!! This is one of my favorite songs! I just feel like no one writes music like this no more? Especially at the end when you can hear her voice literally crack as she's tearing up it's just beautiful 💯
Good stuff! The way Janet emotes, especially in a ballad, just really makes you feel it. She's legendary. On the ballad side, "Come Back To Me" is another great one. And "Anytime, Anyplace" -- good Lord, that'll be a fun reaction for you! More Janet!!
Janet was more comfortable in her skin then because this was after she took control when she turned 18. Big difference from Janet before 18 and Janet after 18
Priceless and fantastic reaction to a gorgeously timeless song. Thanks to your reaction when Janet first started singing in this, I now know what 'jaw-dropping' looks like! Keep up your great work Jay. Have you done 'Miss You Much' yet? I'd recommend that one. Oh and based on your reaction to this, I can't wait for you to react to Miss Janet's 'Any Time Any Place'.
You are right, this period was JJ at her highlight of her life and career......This whole album was a winner......During this time when this came out NOBODY could touch her!!!! This is pure MUSIK MAGIK!!!! DO MORE!!!!
Janet's 80's and 90's music was the best. She was at her creative best while with Rene. This is one of my favorite Janet songs and videos. In every 90's video for a Janet love song, you're convinced that it's her man. 😂 The guy in this video is Gary Dourdan. He's a a model/actor (who was married to Sports Illustrated model, Roshumba). He's most famous for playing Shazza Zulu (the sexist activist) in "A Different World" and Warrick Brown in CSI. You would probably enjoy "Every Time" (video).
Oooooooo I stupidly thought this was a reaction to her Jam “Together Again” - loved this reaction but please add this song to your Janet watch list! 👌🏻🥰
My fave Janet song & album. This was a real departure from her previous style. She was married to the Director of this video, he wanted it more steamy! Please react to Doesn’t Really Matter! 🍸
Had me laughing bro, because I used to say same things back in 90's when watching Janet on replay lol. Beautiful person and awesome voice. Great reactions for sure.
This song is from her movie Poetic Justice, and it got an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards that year (1993)
Yesss the movie with Tupac. I also remember a song of TLC being played in that movie. I used to like the beat it was so ahead of that time, but I can’t remember the name.
The TLC song was called"Get it up" in Poetic Justice my friend, and it was a bad ass song you're absolutely correct.
Way 2 go Janet!!!
Janet: "... don't ever let me go"
Jay: "I won't!"
Lmao, you make me laugh, Jay! :D
I still claim you are the only reactor that constantly brings back the nostalgia of my childhood and teen years. I LOVED this song despite being very much into heavy metal and punk music at the time.
He really is! That's why we love Jayvee. ❤️
I agree!
Could not agree more!!! Love love o r this song!!!
Me too! 😁
I agree
We truly had the greatest variety of music back then.
Agreed. There is just something about that time for music I cannot explain. Cause if I were to, I would be writing for hours lol. Today's music just doesn't measure up to it.
80's and 90's Janet Jackson was pretty much an automatic hit maker, over and over.

That’s why I listen to independent artists.
I miss 90’s music, so much. Especially R&B. When everyone was an equally spectacular singer, live. Mariah, Whitney, BoyzIIMen, Johnny Gill, New Edition...we had it sooooo good.
So true. Now everybody sounds the same
"Come Back to Me" from her Rhythm Nation album is also a great ballad.
Yes all of her early music from the Control album, Rhythm Nation, and Janet were some of her best.
It’s her best IMO
This is 1 out of 10 of Janet’s singles that reached #1 on billboard hot 100. Janet is dope and one of the greatest artist in history. We need you to react to more Janet from the “Control” era 1986: Let’s wait awhile, control, Nasty and when I think of you.
I totally agree with you, I feel he should definitely do Nasty next!!!
My best Janet Jackson song by far. I used to be obsessed with this song back in the day. I wish she did a lot more songs like this, cuz her voice is so beautiful and feminine.
I haven't heard this song in years... As soon as it started i still knew every word... Faint song!
28 years later, and still such a beautiful song.
Janet makes the best ballads-the melody and the layering of her background vocals are ethereal! Try “Let’s Wait Awhile” / “Come Back To Me” / “Anytime, Any Place” / “I Get Lonely”
I Get Lonely is 🔥🔥🔥 but he might pass out 😂😂😂😂
You kno right!!!
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production at its finest
You're so in love with her. 😂 I'm afraid we might have to call an ambulance if you do these reactions too close together. 😆
Don't lie when janet say "hold me" we all fell in love
Janet Jackson is an amazing talent and this song proves the range of her voice.
She has a beautiful voice
Janet! The Queen! She's brilliant, as great doing ballads as she is doing upbeat numbers. Oh and the gorgeous actor Gary Dourdan in the video (Warwick from CSI Vegas)! :)
Gary is fine in this video!! If he had of been mine. He wouldn't leave the house..wowzer. This is my favorite J.J. song/Video. It's beautiful
Drugs ruined his career
I love Gary in this. I also remember him from A Different World.
90s Janet: perfection. No other word describes her adequately back then.
Her authenticity shines in this song. She sounds delicate and vulnerable 🌺
Like her brother Michael she is a MASTER of recreating herself with each project. I think I've said a few times she's my all time favorite female artist sorry if you're sick of hearing that. Lol
The way you looked up at 1:07 was like “did I just hear an angel?”. And yes, yes you did. Her voice is so beautiful and pure, especially in this song.
Lol yesss
Doesn’t matter how many years go between times of hearing this song, I never forget the lyrics. One of her best.
Anyone could tell she was living her best life back then, she seems very content and at ease with her femininity.
Please J we need more Janet!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Next up.. "Come back to Me", from 89"s Rythm Nation or "I Get Lonely" from 1998sThe Velvet Vope album
So, who else went out of their way to find clothes like she's wearing when this was released? Lol. Now I knit, so I could recreate this top for myself whenever I want.
ME!!!! I even wore my hair like hers 😂😂😂
For me Janet never fell off. Every album I've heard has great music on it, right up to her last one in 2015. But 90's Janet for me also was just at her absolute best. But that's probably the nostalgia for my childhood.
The guy in the video wasn't her boyfriend. She was married to a director at the time. She did have a real glow to her in that period. That's the era I discovered her. So much light in her. She's a special lady!
Her husband Rene was THE director of this video lol. ❤️
Yep Rene Elizondo...
This is the love song from the film “Poetic Justice” that she starred in with Tupac!
She was nominated for an Oscar for “Again” in the best song featured in a film category.
and mind you she wrote and compose this along with jimmy and terry. It was also nominated for an oscar and golden globe award. Janet is that girl
My favorite Janet song, and she has PLENTY of bangers!!!
"Don't be touchin her man". Lol. A little jealous there Jay Lol. Another priceless reaction 🤣
This was from the “Janet” album, 1993-94. When this album came out, it blew everybody away…she switched up and reinvented herself with this record. She went from the military, Tomboy-ish to a pure sex symbol when this album was released
It was on the " Poetic Justice " movie soundtrack which she also starred in with 2pac . I'd definitely recommend the movie . It's a classic.
Great Review ....
💯 the soundtrack to that movie is great
Best things in life are free by her and Luthor Vandross.
The guy in the video is actor Gary Dourdan. He used to be on the TV show A Different World and also the show CSI as being some of his more popular. Janet was married to Rene Elizondo Jr during this time who also directed this video.
This song always makes me cry. If you've been there, you've been there. And Janet is beautiful, as always.
Versatile beauty. He has given us dance songs that we continue to dance to and love songs that we continue to love. Hopefully they would continue with programs like this so that the new generation knows that she continues to maintain many records that they have not been able to overcome and that to this day she is the most successful female singer of color in history.
JANET IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰✌🏼
Oh this song takes me back. Janet has always been underrated, but maybe I think that because I’m in the UK, and MJ was so huge when I was growing up. I think you’ll really love ‘Let’s Wait a While’. It’s one of Janet’s earlier songs in 1986 I think. It’s beautiful too
she has 21 top 20 hits in the Uk and sold 8M records there which is really good
In the 80s and 90s all males wanted her
And all females wanted to be her.
That smile, much like her brothers, is kilowatt!!
I cried a lot of tears to this song as a teen. Ah, young love. Lol
Janet is just amazing!!!!❤❤❤ If you haven't reacted to it yet, try "Black Cat", by Janet... Love that song!!!❤❤❤
Janet Jackson in her prime was truly special
Simply one of the most beautiful songs and one of the most beautiful music videos I have ever seen… Janet Jackson with actor/model Gary Dourdan.
I know you enjoyed the song, it’s lovely. But I think we all know you were stunned by how GORGEOUS Janet is in this video!
She grew up and became a lady!! She became her own person!!!! Doing her own thing!!!!!
She is such a beautiful woman.
This song is from the film Poetic Justice as well as her album janet. At the time she was married to the director of the video , Rene’ Elizondo .
We are listening to the queen of pop Janet Jackson and I am enjoying it with you God bless you your family and your friends you have a wonderful fantastic awesome bless safe beautiful day enjoy the rest of your day love you 🙏📖😊❤️
I remember when the radio station, (WGCI F.M. Chicago), premiered this album just before it's release, back in 1993, I fell in love with this song at the first few bars of the intro!! It may not be one of Janet's bigger hits, but to me, it's definitely in the top five!!!
Her sound reminds me a lot of Diana Ross on this track.
This was another #1 smash and was nominated for an Oscar. It was featured in the film “Poetic Justice” in 1993 and used on her album that same year.
Janet sang ballads in the 80s. Checkout Let's Wait Awhile or Funny How Time Flies from her Control album!!!
I love anything Janet! I wanted to be her so bad! I even dressed and wore my hair like her. 😂😂😂😂 Those were good times 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is from the soundtrack of the movie Poetic Justice which starred Janet & 2 Pac
Beautiful song 😍
Come Back to Me is another beautiful love song by Janet
Janet at this time is at her most beautiful, she has many slow jams this is just a mature woman sharing her gift..
Amazing song, Janet's catalog of songs is extraordinary. She sounds like an angel in this. You are one of the few that has covered this song
Thank you.
Oh gosh, one of Janet's best performances. My Mom loves this one, too. Such a contrast against Janet's more risque and fun songs. So soft and tender and genuine. I still get goosebumps hearing this. That chord progression at the end, after her broken expression and delivery...it does me in.
Your jaw-drop! See? She's a beauty, isn't she? A lovely voice.
YES! Janet album was so big in 1993-1994
3:34 her partner actually directed the video LOL
She has another ballad called "Let's wait a while". It's pretty smoking also.
My number 1 ultimate favorite song from when I was a pre-teen!!! Love love love your channel!!! 💜💜💕💕💕
One of my favorite J.J. songs. Her soft vocals goes so perfect with the music. This is one of the many hits from the Janet album. Everytime I see this video I'm like look at dude from A Different World. I think that Janet was having more input and control of her music, so she seemed to be so much happier.
This is my favorite of all her music. Love the Jackson Family. Irish fans🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪
I love all of Janet but I absolutely loved this era of hers 💜
No hate on this particular reaction or the song at all, but how has Jay reacted to Janet and not done Nasty or Alright yet....unbelievable!!! lol.
90's Janet, Madonna, Mariah and Whitney. All perfection. Janet with Busta Rhymes. Highly recommended.
The man in the video is Gary Dourdan. He starred on CSI (Vegas)
I was crushing so hard on Janet during this particular era that i remember getting a poster as a present from my High School friends lol, and can you blame me? she's always been beautiful but there was something extra special going on back then and i'm glad you picked up on that.
Do janet’s “when I think of you” next … it’s a hit and good dancing in the music video
I love this song, it's gorgeous. I fell in love with it when I heard it in the movie 'Poetic Justice' one of my fav films and incredibly underrated. It also has 2Pac in, he and Janet play love interests. Definitely worth a watch tho!
Now Janet - Any Time Any Place 😅❤️
"She looks happy"..little does he know
This taking me back to some fun times. Going out with girlfriends, falling in and out of love ❤️ thank you for reacting to nostalgic times for some of us. Janet was in a good place at that time and it shows through her , she looks so radiant. Her voice is so beautiful too.

Janet's 80's and 90's music was the best. She was at her creative best while with Rene. This is one of my favorite Janet songs and videos.

He's most famous for playing Shazza Zulu (the sexist activist) in "A Different World" and Warrick Brown in CSI.
You would probably enjoy "Every Time" (video).
This song really captures the essence of that time. Thank You for this video.
Thanks for this reaction. I had forgotten how much I loved this song 😢. I love Poetic Justice
I haven’t heard this song in probably 15 years and I still remember every word ❤
This is part of my teen age. Brought tears to my eyes. Good memories.
One of her best songs. I've been saying for years. Thanks for being one of the few to react to this!
My man is straight up in love with 90’s Janet!! Love it.
Janet - All For You!!!!
90s Janet is still my favorite Janet.
Ok now you gotta Janet going a song called black cat. Serious rock out Janet. I love Janet Jackson. Old , new just adore her music.
This song not only reached #1 on Billboard, but it was nominated for an Oscar. It was part of the "Poetic Justice"movie alongside Tupac
Wow Janet, what a BEAUTIFUL ROMANTIC song of yours!! Just touches your heart. Thankyou for puttinging it on Jayvee!! xx
Janet Jackson 'That's the way Love Goes'
Oooooooo I stupidly thought this was a reaction to her Jam “Together Again” - loved this reaction but please add this song to your Janet watch list! 👌🏻🥰
Written by J J, Jimmy J n Terry Lewis and nominated for an Oscar
I suggest "Everytime" for your next Janet Jackson reaction. It's another great ballad as good as this one. But on another vibe. Nice reaction btw.
My fave Janet song & album. This was a real departure from her previous style. She was married to the Director of this video, he wanted it more steamy!
Please react to Doesn’t Really Matter! 🍸
Im a guy and my mom gave me her Janet Album and that shit a slapper for sure its so good
I fell in love with Janet when this song came out....I was 12!
Had me laughing bro, because I used to say same things back in 90's when watching Janet on replay lol. Beautiful person and awesome voice. Great reactions for sure.
I LOVE me some JJ so emotive !
Check out “ Made for now “ or the underrated “ Make me “
This is one of the prettiest songs ( of janets ) but also I just think of all time anyway 😍
I love how IN LOVE you are with Janet!
