My Girl Janet Jackson..I worked out heavily when I was in my 20's and 30's and her songs along with Paula Abdul were my inspiration. Strong women..The dancing is perfection..But Remember her brother is..MICHAEL JACKSON..They always worked hard in life and put out some banging music!
Check out Michael Jackson and Janet's hit "Scream ", both of them together was 🔥. Other songs by Janet: You Want This If Let's Wait Awhile What About Black Cat
You really want to see her slay this song? I highly recommend you watch the live performance on the 1998 Velvet Rope tour! The video was in black and white so skin tones would be more gray, the tone of the album was racial harmony and the importance of education. You should definitely check out the long form version of the video. It will put everything into context.
As an old school heavy rock/metal fan, I think this showed Janet leaving her comfort zone and doing something new. The song is an absolute classic and some heavy rock/metal fans love it. take it from me I know. One very famous heavy metal vocalist loved that song and wanted to do a duet with Janet, but his record company said No. That person was Lemmy from Motorhead. (God rest his soul) 🤘
Great reaction video. Janet filmed in black and white because she said in that world, everyone was different shades of grey. She filmed a film short called Rhythm Nation 1814 and its all in B/W, the singles include, The Knowledge, Miss U Much & Rhythm Nation.
One of my favorites of hers. I loved that whole album. If you want another video of hers with great dancing, check out If, All for You, or Scream, which was Janet and Michael together.
I had forgotten just how great this song was (and video)! Clearly her brother had influence over these moves. What a talented family! Thanks for the reaction.
Definitely a Goddess of music, when she made that video she was 22 years old but she has always been energetic, even when she was blocked she continued her fight, God save the queen. Congratulations for your reaction.
When something is black and white it's to give the image a certain power, atmosphere,look or to help people with a story that has flash backs distinguish between the two.lots of reasons.in this video it was so you can see the dancing clearly and see how clean it was and concentrate on the lyrics.colour may have complicated it. Checkout Joseph Gordon Levitt performance of this on lip sync battle.
@@BeboRulz ta that's great.i hope he has a look.i'm sure in the UK we didn't get all the seasons cause it depends on the show rights being bought but it is one of my favs along with Anna Kendrick booty,Anne Hathaway wrecking ball,Jenna Dewan cold hearted snake and tom Holland umbrella.
this is what makes JANET JACKSON who she is she watched her brothers and Michael showed her how to be a professional at everything you do and be original
I don't know about y'all - but I thought for a second there we finally had Rico out of his chair trying Janet's dance routine like the rest of us did back in the day. 🤣 So close. I wonder what song is finally gonna do it?
Love that you are reacting to Janet! I am a huge fan of old to new Janet music! Rhythm Nation is still one of the hardest/most intricate dances to date. Her dances stll say that one is the most difficult! I’d love to see your reaction to Miss you much, If, All Night Don’t Stop❤️❤️
Janet has been my idol since I was little 🥰 She was literally queen in 90’s… her voice is flawless ❤So happy seeing the younger generation appreciate her 🥰👏🏻
She says in the beginning to "blur the color lines". I imagine that's why it's in black and white. Plus it's military inspired.. uniform colors & movements.
I remember this i,m 1year younger then Janet. It gave me goosebumps .me and my siblings tryed to copie this and failed big time but we had alot of fun doing it.!😂😂😂😂
Micheal was a perfectionist in every video, and he taught his sister, "If you are going to do something, do it right!" That is why Ciara, Beyonce and so many others make sure, or try to make sure their dance video's are tight...because they grew up watching Janet and Michael. Those are big shoes to fill. I would suggest you start at Janet's "Control" album and watch all the videos, and continue from there in order. Her dance skills, like Micheal's, are phenomenal! Enjoy Janet's videography and discography. Peace...Be and Stay Safe!
A little trivia for everyone. Back in Windows XP days, this song was crashing laptops. The song has a frequency present that caused a specific brand laptop hard drive to resonate and crash the computer. When they started trying to reproduce the issue they found it wasn't limited to the computer playing the video but any affected laptop near it. It's the same phenomenon that allows singers to break glass with their voices. The difference being, Janet's resonant frequency wouldn't break the drive, it was just enough to disrupt the disc to resonate between the heads and cause a crash. The laptop manufacturer actually began installing a frequency filter into systems using that hard drive to prevent the audio system from hitting the frequency. Ah, the good old days when manufacturers responded to complaints.
Check out Janet Jackson Alright featuring heavy D. She gets down in that I mean she gets down !! You hear me ??!! Lol she honors great dancers that cane before her or influenced her in the video so amazing !
What gets lost in the Janet sphere is the "Rhythm Nation 1814" short fim that featured "Miss you much", "The knowledge" and of course "Rhythm Nation". Janet and Michael both were never afraid to tackle social issues. Check it out! Side note: glad you're safe and good!💜
Janet is the one who started the dancing for the girls who sing and Michael is the one who started the dancing for the guys who sing. Before that, you’d have people do a couple of be bop moves, but not full dance performance and singing. Before them, dancers danced and the singers song with dancing accompaniment. Movies with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers had singing and dancing. But everyone understood that some a lot of the vocals wasn’t by the actual actors.
The reason the video is in black and white is that it's part of a longer movie that she made for this album that includes 3 songs from the Rhythm Nation album. There's a story that incorporates that lil black boy, Tyrin Turner (who later went on to be the lead in Menace II Society) that you see there. The video is powerful on its own, but when you see it in the context of the whole movie it's even more powerful. More Janet That's The Way Love Goes Nasty If You Want This Got Til It's Gone with Q-Tip Enjoy Island Life Runaway Literally any song from her Control, Rhythm Nation, janet.. and The Velvet Rope albums, if we're being honest. She's an icon and she's got dozens of great material.
You know they say Michael is gone but I believe he's still alive and if you listen to Janet's song she just came out with not long ago called The great forever, it's a duo with her and Michael it's actually Micheal singing and she's doing the chorus and at 2:20 she actually whispers: Believe don't think Michael is dead.
As an old school heavy rock/metal fan, I've been to many rock/metal gigs in my time. But I've also seen Janet Jackson during the Rhythm Nation world tour back in 1990. Not one of the rock/metal gigs that I have seen over the years even came close to matching the Rhythm Nation world tour. It was amazing, but more importantly the messages on the Rhythm Nation 1814 album is what you need to pay attention to. The legacy that this album left behind is important now as it was back then and it inspired a lot of people, I was one of them. I'd advise you to listen to it.
Actually, since you mentioned it, Paula Abdul choreographed this video (and other Janet videos). Watch a few Paula Abdul videos and you'll see the influence! 😉
This was a top A+ album when it came out, completely loved worldwide, she was at her absolute peak of success for several years back then...I was listening to this entire album to death for so long back then, blasting it, could not get enough. And her "Control" album, same thing, played that album to death! You should check out her mv "IF", I went crazy when that mv came out...it supposedly takes place at an exclusive, private sex club in Chinatown, and she is provocatively singing about sex...tripped my mind! And check out her mv "SCREAM" with her bro Michael, it's kind of set in a futuristic space theme, it goes hard! Soo good! 💙🌺 But damn bro, this music was probably before YOU were born, no technology back then...
Janet is a perfectionist and you can see it in all of her routines. They are ALWAYS on point!
ALWAYS
“Nasty”. “Control”. “Let’s Wait Awhile”. All of these are great songs.
The Running man. Lol she did the same moves 25 years later live with the actual video in the background and STILL WAS ON POINT!!!!!!!!
You gotta do Janet’s “Alright” video with Heavy D. She was getting it in that one too.
Great reaction!! This was our childhood. Everyone was trying to do this routine. No one could kill it like Janet! Do more! ☮️
My Girl Janet Jackson..I worked out heavily when I was in my 20's and 30's and her songs along with Paula Abdul were my inspiration. Strong women..The dancing is perfection..But Remember her brother is..MICHAEL JACKSON..They always worked hard in life and put out some banging music!
Thank you for your reaction !!! For Janet definitely “what have you done for me ..” “Nasty”
This is my all time favorite Janet video. Shout out to every single background dancer. They are on point!
One of the greatest videos ever IMO 🙌
Lyrics too. " With music by your side to break the color lines ". GENIUS!
Check out Michael Jackson and Janet's hit "Scream ", both of them together was 🔥.
Other songs by Janet:
You Want This
If
Let's Wait Awhile
What About
Black Cat
Rhythm Nation (which was made into a 30-minute short film) was filmed in black-and-white to portray the song's theme of racial harmony.
This song is deep.. speaks so many volumes..young folks should take note of the song 😎💯
Janet is a legend
Janet is great, so talented. I got a couple songs for you to check out; miss you much, that's the way love goes, if, love will never do.
You really want to see her slay this song? I highly recommend you watch the live performance on the 1998 Velvet Rope tour! The video was in black and white so skin tones would be more gray, the tone of the album was racial harmony and the importance of education. You should definitely check out the long form version of the video. It will put everything into context.
If you haven’t checked out Black Cat featuring Nuno Bettencourt on guitar, from the same album, definitely give it a shot:
Looooooooove Black Cat!
As an old school heavy rock/metal fan, I think this showed Janet leaving her comfort zone and doing something new. The song is an absolute classic and some heavy rock/metal fans love it. take it from me I know.
One very famous heavy metal vocalist loved that song and wanted to do a duet with Janet, but his record company said No. That person was Lemmy from Motorhead. (God rest his soul) 🤘
I’m a metal guy and I LOVE BLACK CAT!! That and If are always on the playlist!
“ Nasty” and “ “Miss you much”
Great reaction video. Janet filmed in black and white because she said in that world, everyone was different shades of grey. She filmed a film short called Rhythm Nation 1814 and its all in B/W, the singles include, The Knowledge, Miss U Much & Rhythm Nation.
Awesome album! My favorite song on this album is "Come Back To Me." Gotta love the production of this album, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were 🔥.
Well what do you expect, she a Jackson. They a perfectionists when it comes 2 dancing.
“Got till its Gone” Featuring Q-Tip(from tribe called quest)…. Is my favorite song from her, sooooo good.
Janet Jackson "Alright with Me"
I believe that this song and Michael's song Man in the mirror could heal this country right now.... Music heals, music unites
Love Janet
One of my favorites of hers. I loved that whole album. If you want another video of hers with great dancing, check out If, All for You, or Scream, which was Janet and Michael together.
Gotta react to Janet "Nasty"......"Escapade"......"Love Will Never Do Without You.......some of her biggest songs! (and choreography on point)
I saw her on this tour. She was amazing!!!! You should check out "If".
I had forgotten just how great this song was (and video)! Clearly her brother had influence over these moves. What a talented family! Thanks for the reaction.
Obviously this was on MTV night and day...huge hit in a long string of hits for her. She ruled that era.
One of the beat albums ever.
"That's the way love goes", "what's it gonna be", "anytime, anyplace", nasty", "what have you done for me lately". Etc
Nasty & Miss you much w/ chair dance ending!
Definitely a Goddess of music, when she made that video she was 22 years old but she has always been energetic, even when she was blocked she continued her fight, God save the queen. Congratulations for your reaction.
Love Janet! She’s awesome
It was filmed in black & white to portray the song's theme of racist harmony. Fantastic choreography, just SUPERB. Love it so much!! 💖💖💖
Check out Miss You Much off this same album!
If I remember right Janet Jackson made a movie called Rhythm Nation 1814.
My favorite artist and my favorite album of all time!
Black Cat, by Janet Jackson 💜💜
This was a good song but "If" is Janet's best along with That's the Way Love Goes.
Janet is surely a great dancer,. Smooth as hell. ❤️🔥❤️🔥

Janet Jackson is the truth she was able to stand apart from her brother and be a superstar .... she is amazing !
Oh yeah, now ya gotta react to Michael and Janet together in the video Scream, Janet in That's The Way Love Goes with a very young JLo.
this was on one heck of an album! Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were hella good producers and mentored by the best. Prince!
I remember this i,m 1year younger then Janet. It gave me goosebumps .me and my siblings tryed to copie this and failed big time but we had alot of fun doing it.!😂😂😂😂
Loved Janet Jackson..
Micheal was a perfectionist in every video, and he taught his sister, "If you are going to do something, do it right!"

Nasty

Enjoy

Runaway
Literally any song from her Control, Rhythm Nation, janet.. and The Velvet Rope albums, if we're being honest. She's an icon and she's got dozens of great material.
You need check out Janet's If video.
Janet and Michael's brother, Jermaine had a few solo hits. Notable is his duet with Whitney Houston, If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful.
I used to have this album and also Milli Vanilli on cassette. I listened to them all the time in my Walkman on the way to work and back 😀
During new Jack Swing in the 80s had heavy bass 808 tracks with a little edgy hip hop sound to it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Back in the day they were perfectionist. Think of the hours and hours and hours it took to perfect these performances. They worked hard.
Janet Jackson , Michael Jackson and the entire Jackson Family! 🔥❤️🔥
You know they say Michael is gone but I believe he's still alive and if you listen to Janet's song she just came out with not long ago called The great forever, it's a duo with her and Michael it's actually Micheal singing and she's doing the chorus and at 2:20 she actually whispers: Believe don't think Michael is dead.
I’ll probably get some hate for this from MJ fans but...I think Janet was the most talented member of the entire Jackson family.
REACT TO JANET JACKSON U WANT THIS BECAUSE OF LOVE I MISS MUCH COME BACK FUNNY HOW TIMES FLIES OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEOS
I want to marry Janet Jackson. Try to react to her song Escapade. The clip is outstanding. Certainly my favorite.
All I wanted as a kid was to be able to dance like JJ in her "Rhythm Nation" and "If" music videos, lol.
Classic!
☮️💙💙💙thank you, haven’t seen this in years!😎
You do know our friend Paula Abdul did some choreography for some of Janet’s and others videos. A singer and songwriter in her own right
As an old school heavy rock/metal fan, I've been to many rock/metal gigs in my time. But I've also seen Janet Jackson during the Rhythm Nation world tour back in 1990.
Not one of the rock/metal gigs that I have seen over the years even came close to matching the Rhythm Nation world tour. It was amazing, but more importantly the messages on the Rhythm Nation 1814 album is what you need to pay attention to.
The legacy that this album left behind is important now as it was back then and it inspired a lot of people, I was one of them. I'd advise you to listen to it.
My queen always ❤🎉
Together again is a great song 2.
That was the era that Paula Abdul was Janet's choreographer.
The dance was the running man. BW because it was futuristic. 1984 and military group of rythm nation.
Escapade is my favorite JJ video and song
its production is beautiful
The video was in black and white 🎵"To break the color lines"🎵
Ditto, Black Cat live in concert!!!
Actually, since you mentioned it, Paula Abdul choreographed this video (and other Janet videos). Watch a few Paula Abdul videos and you'll see the influence! 😉
Brilliant!!
Must check out Janet Jackson If.
This Entire album is🔥🔥🔥 Grew Up on this and always wondered what happened?!? Sculpted me as a person...
You should see the making of rhythm nation and see the dancer's
I believe the black and white was to reach an emotion, if you look at other videos of that era, they do the same thing
This was a top A+ album when it came out, completely loved worldwide, she was at her absolute peak of success for several years back then...I was listening to this entire album to death for so long back then, blasting it, could not get enough. And her "Control" album, same thing, played that album to death!

💙🌺
But damn bro, this music was probably before YOU were born, no technology back then...
You gotta check out, "R&B Junkie!!!" It has the *best* groove!!! 💜💫✌🏼🎵
*Great reaction!*
You should bring your brother in with you more. It's nice to see the younger ones react too.
You simply MUST react to "If" and "That's the Way Love Goes" as well.
If you haven't already done so you should react to Escapade by Janet Jackson. Also, you should react to 2300 Jackson Street by The Jacksons.
She was talking about social injustice in this song
If you didn't really look up the lyrics read the lyrics in your spare time it really is a very inspiring song.
I love this video!!!!❤️
When they did the running man and he said he didn't know what that is, I felt old as dirt! smh lol
