You have to remember, Janet didn't do the arm choreography for the longest time. She stopped doing it after the Up Close and Personal Tour. It was said that she stopped doing it because it was hell on her arms, and it's understandable why. When I went to the opening night on the Together Again Tour and she performed IF and did the arm routine, I was surprised to see that she did do it
If was released in 1993 and was a huge top 5 hit. I wish the video was in HQ because it's absolutely fire. It's definitely a nod to voyeurism - and way ahead of its time from a technology perspective. Touch screens, web cams, etc. Janet looks incredible and this has some of the best choreo in any dance video, period. Shout out to Tina Landon. Absolutely brilliant!
FUN FACTS ✅ - Although touchscreens did not exist back then in 1993, this video foreshadowed the future perfectly. - The dance break is one of the most iconic dance breaks of all time. - This also made Janet the biggest sex symbol back then. Janet NEVER revealed herself until 1991 in 'Love Will Never Do' music video.
They still perform that dance breakdown to this day. I saw her Together Again concert a couple weeks ago and when they did that dance, the place erupted. Janet still got the moves.
This was 1993, and people made a deal at the time of the idea of having touch screens you could use to video conference. In that way it was very forward thinking in terms of technology. Find a crisp version, because this video is STUNNING. There's also a version that focuses specifically on the choreography only. This version is the "narrative" cut that shows how people are interacting in the club.
It was definitely ahead of it's time. Voyeurism. Seeing what you want before you get it. Grinder before there was Grinder. And in a club no less, like today. Digital connection. Fantasy.
JANET WEEK 2 (In no particular order) 1. Rhythm Nation (1989) 2. The Pleasure Principal (1987) 3. I Get Lonely (1998) 4. Alright (1990) 5. Miss You Much (1989)
We need a Janet Jackson week #2: 5. Doesn’t Really Matter (2000) 4. Pleasure Principal (1987) 3. Love Will Never Do (Without You) 1991 2. Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989) 1. That's The Way Love Goes (1993) If, Together Again and All for You are at my top but already listed/played here. Honorable mentions: Miss You Much, Again, I Get Lonely, When I Think of You, Alright, Come Back to Me, You Want This, No Sleeep
This song takes me right back to being a teenager lol Me and my girlfriend both loved this song so much (along with "That's The Way...") We both should have worked out I'm gay, but it took a while after that lol You can't help but move when you hear this, especially during that breakdown.
Some of the lyrics: You on the rise as you're touchin' my thighs and Let me know what you like If you like I'll go down, da-down, down, down, da-down, down I'll hold you in my hand and baby Your smooth and shiny Feels so good against my lips, sugar I want you so bad, I can taste your love right now, baby.......
Three things: 1. the interaction between you two is fabulous; 2. you're both super funny; 3. your reactions are very positive and sweet... I love how you not only respect the artists but really think about the songs, the meanings, the video ideas and executions. You are really entertaining. If you haven't done Vanessa Williams yet, I hope you do. She is a multiple talent: former Miss America, singer, dancer, actor... her accomplishments are amazing. If you do react to her, I hope you include Love Is, Oh How the Years Go By and Dreamin'. I don't think those songs get enough love. Keep up the good (great!) work 🙂
My favorite all-time song by her. That breakdown is iconic for a reason & the choreography is sexy as hell. And this came out in 1993 & hence how blurry it is😅🔥😍
You have to watch the live performance of That’s The Way Love Goes/If at the 1994 MTV VMAs. She shut that place DOWN!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The greatest female singer-dancer and the sexiest woman on the planet. You will see how Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney and every other were directly influenced by her. She is the blueprint and Mutha. The Velvet Rope Tour performance 1998, which screened on HBO, is also epic 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If your doing Janet you most do “ That’s The Way Love Goes” !!! And Any Time , Any Place Black Cat ( rock song) pleasure Principle Nasty All Nite Control Theses songs are her best to me!!!❤😂
Aww man. I'm y'all saw the dance version of the video. It's the same except without the background stuff going in, so it's just edited to focusing on Janet and the actual dance performance. It's so great. But I do love the concept of vouyuerism in this version too...
Was I Hs when this came out... I'm native so I saw first her wearing our jewelry lol then technology that didn't even exist yet! Love ya guys.. both so open and informed. Do Cher or Brit next!
May I sugget a Lana del Rey week? My top 5 videoclips (not songs) 5. Shades of Cool. 4. National Anthem. 3. West Coast. 2. Chemtrails over the country club. 1. Candy Necklace. For the fans... i don't mention Ride or Tropico bc those are not music videos, they're works of art and deserve to be in a museum.
I need to update this list. This is a REAL JANET STAN! 1. Rhythm Nation 2. Pleasure Principle 3. Miss You Much 4. Control or Nasty 5. Alright Then, if you want to continue… 6. When I think of You 7. I get Lonely 8. You Want This 9. That’s the Way Love Goes 10. Escapade Scratch this list and start over! 😊❤️
Janet. was the first CD I ever owned as a kid! Great song, blurry ass video. This is the start of my Harry Styles campaign and I promise it will be relentless. My suggested list: 5. Satellite 4. Treat People With Kindness 3. Music For A Sushi Restaurant 2. Lights Up 1. As It Was I know you did Adore You during 1D week so I won't suggest that again but still recommend watching the extended version at some point!
I watched this premiere and unfortunate its blurry but honestly they stopped running this version and ran an edited version...I believe this was available midnight on mtv. Its very self explanatory if you think 90's and internet now...its a club version of onlyfans...voyeurism on every level before it was mainstream...even the body back tattoo had me back then. And here we are KPOP era... back to the future 2 for sure.
This is probably one of my least favorite Janet songs. The melody and the video are kinda hard to follow, and this has nothing to do with the fact that it's blurry as s***.

One of Janet Jackson's biggest hits she still does the dance break in her concerts today!
You have to remember, Janet didn't do the arm choreography for the longest time. She stopped doing it after the Up Close and Personal Tour. It was said that she stopped doing it because it was hell on her arms, and it's understandable why. When I went to the opening night on the Together Again Tour and she performed IF and did the arm routine, I was surprised to see that she did do it
MTV played the crap out of this song it was on heavy rotation this one of Janet biggest records and the dance break is so iconic in pop culture.
If was released in 1993 and was a huge top 5 hit. I wish the video was in HQ because it's absolutely fire. It's definitely a nod to voyeurism - and way ahead of its time from a technology perspective. Touch screens, web cams, etc. Janet looks incredible and this has some of the best choreo in any dance video, period. Shout out to Tina Landon. Absolutely brilliant!
Correct
ir is now
the dance breakdown at like 6:00 is one of the most iconic janet jackson dance breakdowns.
*most iconic pop music breakdowns
not as iconic as the rhythm nation dance
I petition for an Aaliyah week.
5. Are You That Somebody
4. More than a Woman
3. One in a Million
2. Try Again
1. Rock the Boat.

This was 1993 and featured interactive video monitors. WAY ahead of it’s time.
Her song “I Get Lonely” and her live performance of Rhythm Nation from the Velvet Rope Tour 1998 are a must .
Both are amazing.
The beginning of IF samples Diana Ross/Someday We'll be Together
Aaliyah week with the following:
5 - One in a million
4 - More than a woman
3 - Rock the boat
2 - Try again

3. 4 Page Letter
4. The One I Gave My Heart To
5. Back and Forth 🙌
The dance break in this is so iconic this is such a sensual video I know it's a little blurry not all her videos in HD as they all should be.

4. Pleasure Principal (1987)
3. Love Will Never Do (Without You) 1991

I second this list!
If you read the lyrics this song is spicy!!
Especially for 1993
@@MikeCheck1814I wish they turned up the volume on her vocals I mean we all know she whispers but this has the be the most unintelligible Janet song.
One of my favorite Janet tracks! "You want this" music video next!!
Thank you!
No one walks like JANET! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My absolute favorite Janet song. Definitely old school video but what little amount you’re able to see is pretty damn hot.
She’s fantastic with this one ❤❤
This song takes me right back to being a teenager lol
Me and my girlfriend both loved this song so much (along with "That's The Way...")
We both should have worked out I'm gay, but it took a while after that lol
You can't help but move when you hear this, especially during that breakdown.
She performed That’s The Way Love Goes & If at MTV awards. Excellent performance to check out!
Some of the lyrics:
You on the rise as you're touchin' my thighs and
Let me know what you like
If you like I'll go down, da-down, down, down, da-down, down
I'll hold you in my hand and baby
Your smooth and shiny
Feels so good against my lips, sugar
I want you so bad, I can taste your love right now, baby.......
Wow... I remember having the cassette tape with the lyrics (which I also remember) Lol 😏
You guys should do an Aaliyah week!
Definitely 👍
That'll be fire
If u watch the making of if thier is no fog ….. and bill bellaamany interviewed her on set
the fact that this video is so lo-res on TH-cam is a crime against humanity

You guys need to react to her live performance at the MTV Video Music Awards of this song one of the most greatest award show performances.
Yeah Janet Jackson and Madonna ran the 90's with their sexual music.
My favorite all-time song by her. That breakdown is iconic for a reason & the choreography is sexy as hell. And this came out in 1993 & hence how blurry it is😅🔥😍

Her best video. Her sexiest video. And it’s blurry! This needs the HD treatment immediately.
yo how you vote cause rhythm nation gotta be number one lmao again love the channel fellas
If your doing Janet you most do “ That’s The Way Love Goes” !!!
And
Any Time , Any Place
Black Cat ( rock song)
pleasure Principle
Nasty
All Nite
Control
Theses songs are her best to me!!!❤😂
I was literally 4 but I remember this video.
Aww man. I'm y'all saw the dance version of the video. It's the same except without the background stuff going in, so it's just edited to focusing on Janet and the actual dance performance. It's so great. But I do love the concept of vouyuerism in this version too...
If you look into these early to mid 90s R&B songs, they're probably a lot more sexual than today tbh
Was I Hs when this came out... I'm native so I saw first her wearing our jewelry lol then technology that didn't even exist yet!
Love ya guys.. both so open and informed.
Do Cher or Brit next!
May I sugget a Lana del Rey week?
My top 5 videoclips (not songs)
5. Shades of Cool.
4. National Anthem.
3. West Coast.
2. Chemtrails over the country club.
1. Candy Necklace.
For the fans... i don't mention Ride or Tropico bc those are not music videos, they're works of art and deserve to be in a museum.
7:50 The very first music video to use touchscreen technology.
Queen Janet!
Plenty of fetishism going on. This is so cyberpunk for a 90s video.
Read that second verse.
There was a fire at the Universal Lot where it was stored, that ruin the originals. So we may not be able to get a better quality version.
The original is kept. There is an HD copy and not this is not how it looked back in the days. These are copies that got pixelated
Every "if" video is blurry. Not sure why. But when this video came out.....hot factor. Still. If not for the video would hold up
There's clear "If" videos on TH-cam. Some even in high quality
Welcome to the tube life
Dominic Sena directed this video. He directed Gone in 60 seconds. Kalifornia. Hopefully he will release his 4k footage of this one day. 🙏
The All Dance Version has a better quality.
Janet 🔥❤️
Please react to more of her songs: What about, Again, Anytime Anyplace, That’s the way love goes, Rhythm Nation…to name a few.
I'm pretty sure JLo was a dancer in this video, or one of her videos. Maybe the upcoming #1?
J Lo was only in 'That's The Way Love Goes' - which was the first single released from the 'janet.' album in 1993.
She was a dancer in “That‘s the way love goes“, with a small speaking role even. That was before her breakthrough as an actress.
@@MikeCheck1814 that’s why I said #1 maybe because I’m hoping that’ll be the number one video they react too.
Aaliyah week please
9:19 😂😂😂😂😂
It is not THAT blurry, Brother needs a new pair of glasses or a bigger screen.
I need to update this list. This is a REAL JANET STAN!
1. Rhythm Nation
2. Pleasure Principle
3. Miss You Much
4. Control or Nasty
5. Alright
Then, if you want to continue…
6. When I think of You
7. I get Lonely
8. You Want This
9. That’s the Way Love Goes
10. Escapade
Scratch this list and start over! 😊❤️
Yes! ❤❤❤
It's blurry on purpose you sillies
Please do Lana del rey week🥰 she is an amazing singer
🔥❤️
Janet. was the first CD I ever owned as a kid! Great song, blurry ass video.
This is the start of my Harry Styles campaign and I promise it will be relentless. My suggested list:
5. Satellite
4. Treat People With Kindness
3. Music For A Sushi Restaurant
2. Lights Up
1. As It Was
I know you did Adore You during 1D week so I won't suggest that again but still recommend watching the extended version at some point!
❤❤❤
You guys should've reviewed the all dance version of the video which is much better and not as blurry. There's better quality videos of this song
Not to override the incomparable janet Jackson energy but DO LANA
Christina Aguilera week please 🥹❤️
I watched this premiere and unfortunate its blurry but honestly they stopped running this version and ran an edited version...I believe this was available midnight on mtv. Its very self explanatory if you think 90's and internet now...its a club version of onlyfans...voyeurism on every level before it was mainstream...even the body back tattoo had me back then. And here we are KPOP era... back to the future 2 for sure.
Japanese
Nicki Minaj week 3!!!! Please
THIS IS THE CRAPPY RE-EDIT THE ORIGINAL IS CLEARER AND WITH LESS CUTAWAYS
This is probably one of my least favorite Janet songs. The melody and the video are kinda hard to follow, and this has nothing to do with the fact that it's blurry as s***.
