Yay finally a person that knows of Tina. I wanted to be her. I even cut my hair that was down to my lower back just like hers. For 4 days straight I watched and taught myself the choreography and won first place for my performance. When MJ died and Janet did a tribute for him on the vma all these dancers were apart of it. Tina looked the same even the same hair cut.
“If” is an absolute masterpiece. You’re spot on that it sounds even more current than it did almost 25 years ago. Hands down one of my favorite Janet songs and videos. The whole voyeuristic quality makes the lyrics and choreography burn even more! Thank you for this!!! Love hearing your take on what had me on the dance floor many moons ago!!
Anything 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s Janet is QUALITY through and through (and 2015’s Unbreakable). I’d say this song and video alone had a major influence on the new crop of pop girls that would come along in the next 5-10 years. It was a “lightning in a bottle” pop moment for sure. She’s just a killer ARTIST and performer.
This iconic choreo is by Tina Landon (she’s in here too, with the black page haircut and leathervest). She also did Brithey’s Ooops..., Ricky Martin’s Livin’ La Vida Loca, Christina’s Come On Over, Pussycat Dolls Don’t, Rihanna, Shakira and on and on. You can also see her as one of Jen’s friends in the Waiting For Night video.
It's amazing how this video was released in 1993 but looks very modern. The wardrobe, hair, makeup all look timeless and could be worn in 2022 without people looking at you weird.
I remember watching this in high school and was so turned on by it lol the naughty lyrics were very suggestive as well. Still love the song and choreography to this day.
Keep your Beyoncé, Rihanna, And all the new generation..I prefer my GENERATION : Madonna, Janet, Paula Abdul ❤️❤️❤️ ! Love your reaction to the best chorégraphy of all time for a female !!
this is the song that introduced me to janet and every since then I've been on janet fever people need to stop discrediting her she is one of the greatest entertainers of all time been in the business since she was 7 years old her legacy matters she is the queen & the blueprint and I don't care what people say this woman deserves the world.
Your reaction made me tear up a little cause it took me right back to hearing it for the first time when I was in 5th grade and accepting right there That it was my duty to learn the entire choreo and just loving this moment in time
Love Janet, but this remains my favorite era, everythingg was on point. Most people like to remember the early 90's as the "grunge era", but i remember it as the time when amazing music of all genres was topping the charts, and Janet came out with this amazing album, image, and videos, what a time to be alive :)
The strings at the beginning when the music starts is sampled from the beginning of the Supremes last #1 hit "Someday We'll Be Together" from 1969. So cool.
I still remember when the janet. cd came out. The first time I was playing it and "IF" came on I was up and dancing like I actually knew how to dance. Yes, this song has aged like wine. When the song starts, that intro, my heart immediately starts beating fast. Oh, take me back in time.
This is my ALL TIME favorite Janet video EVER!! She looks AMAZING and the dancing in this video is off the charts!! Wow! Just LOVE this song and video!! Wish she’d come back with more music like this in 2020!
Janet said she wanted a "voyeurism" vibe which basically the act of watching especially in sexual cases she really wanted to go out of the box and push boundaries and she did
timothy chung are you really still holding a grudge for something she said 27 years ago 😂 gtfo, she’s said supportive things about Madonna since, and Madonna started it with the “rhythm nation? Bite your tongue” comment
@@foxesamu Yup!!! Not only that but when she went on date with Michael that one time, apparently she was talking serious sh!t about Janet but he immediately shut it down!!! Madonna has said horrible things about so many female artists: Janet, Mariah, Lady Gaga, etc. She is known for being mean! Even Cher said it! lol
@timothy chung its the celebrity world everyone is going to have their shady moments and madonnas erotica album drew inspiration from the new jack swing genre which janet started a trend for soo....... but the fact your mad about this and its 2020 is whats funny
Every nightclub in this era was industrial. It was fastest trend to move from the east to the west coast. Music and fashion before the internet always started in New York and eventually moved to L.A.
They were also the biggest stars of the 80s. That was a time when rivalries didn't exist, but all artists could co-exist and great music was the only thing that mattered. Music was great back then.
Madonna was always a little pressed over JJ to be honest. J was the better dancer and and more natural performer IMO. Hell of a song writer too with the best production team in the industry.
adua78 that’s a bold statement when we all know Madonna is the best selling one by far out of the two. While I love JJ her major success was from 1990-2001 where as Madonna spanned 3 decades before taking a hit on popularity or production. I will agree that when Janet works with the right team she puts out epic albums. Her last album unbreakable was fire 🔥 after so many years without a solid album.
I actually like both of their music. People assume they hated each other, because allegedly Madonna said bad things about Janet on her date with Michael.
Matthew Dunne Janet success was from 86 -2004. The Super Bowl incident sideline her career. She became enemy #1 when that happened. Viacom would not plan any of her material on their radio and video channels.
oh I never got the password thing at the begining!! LOL...so you have to do Rythm Nation, Miss You Much. Escapade.. my favorites dance performances!! I remember some of those moves!! so good!!
A lil’ kool thing is that if you watch the making of Jennifer Lopez is still one of ’the kids’ learning the choreography. She’s not in the video tho. Wonder what the story is. Maybe she got her solodeal there somewhere.
The all dance version is the same video but it just cuts out the story aspects of the video and focuses solely on the dance performance. Worth watching.
Love it I don’t know if you’ve done miss you much it’s one of my favorite videos of hers I’m gonna have to look through your list but if you haven’t definitely check it out
HEY DERI HAVE YOU CONCIDERED REACTING TO MICHAEL JACKSONS STARLIGHT ITS THRILLER BEFORE THRILLER , ITS BEFORE THEY CHANGED THE SONG TO THRILLER , ITS PRETTY GOOD.
This is my all time favorite Janet dance song. The video is so good with the choreography, very well done. But the song itself has definitely held up very well over time. I’ve always loved the transition from the verse to the chorus and the vocal layering that is done through out the song is priceless.
Have you watched Together Again, the song she wrote in tribute to her friends that died from AIDS? It's a joyous celebration of their lives, and my favorite of her dance songs.
Perfection from the background vocal stacks, the samples used, the theme of the video, the choreography, rock guitars, the talented dancers and actors, cinematography, and Janets overall stage pressence/vocal performance. This lady is the blueprint and this is literally one for the ages
Still know this choreography by heart some 27 years later... And I can thank this track for winning me a meet and greet with Janet in Washington back in 93.
This is my very first NON-MADONNA reaction of yours I've watched. I remember now how much I loved the "If" video choreo. . . Particularly the crotch grab on the hot dude 😆
![ผัวเถื่อน - ยูริ โตเกียวมิวสิค [ OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/P08ORRVDGl8/mqdefault.jpg)
JANET birthed the 'pop girls' of today.......she is and always will be the QUEEN OF POP
Janet solidified her place in dance iconography with just the breakdown alone!
👏👏👏👏👏❤️
A masterpiece and Tina Landon best choreographer in the world
She really is!
100% !!!! Janet's choreography post Tina, while good, never came close to as great as Tina's work with her.
YES!! Tina Landon is the best
She is i remember her.
Yay finally a person that knows of Tina. I wanted to be her. I even cut my hair that was down to my lower back just like hers.

You do what everyone does with that break down - I can watch it all day and it’s one of her most well known dances
I love seeing the younger generation appreciate Janet for the pop icon she is. She deserves so much more respect than she gets.
This is when I became attracted to Janet. The whole janet. era did it for me, especially when she did the Rolling Stone cover ❤
Sounds as good as new,that’s the charm of the 90s,love Janet and her music 🥰🥰❤️❤️
She absolutely nailed it!
I'm still obsessed with this song till this day! Don't get me started bout the dance version!😍😍😍
One of the greatest dance breaks in music video history.
Anything 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s Janet is QUALITY through and through (and 2015’s Unbreakable).

iconic indeed!😍
This is one of her definitive tracks and I love the video.
It's amazing how this video was released in 1993 but looks very modern. The wardrobe, hair, makeup all look timeless and could be worn in 2022 without people looking at you weird.
The whole 'janet' album from 1993 is a masterpiece. Should be listened to from beginning to end, one long megamix 👍
I remember watching this in high school and was so turned on by it lol the naughty lyrics were very suggestive as well. Still love the song and choreography to this day.
Keep your Beyoncé, Rihanna, And all the new generation..I prefer my GENERATION : Madonna, Janet, Paula Abdul ❤️❤️❤️ ! Love your reaction to the best chorégraphy of all time for a female !!

Yes yes yes yes !
Please react to Paula Abdul '' Straight Up'' Paula was Janet's Choreographer for the Control Era.
Your reaction made me tear up a little cause it took me right back to hearing it for the first time when I was in 5th grade and accepting right there That it was my duty to learn the entire choreo and just loving this moment in time
🥹❤️
Next on your Janet Jackson “Escapade”......... LOVE WILL NEVER DO WITHOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite Janet song is Love Will Never Do (Without You).
@californiahummus, especially the roger s. narcotic vocal mix plus the narcotic voyage mix are great
Queen Janet 🙌
Love Janet, but this remains my favorite era, everythingg was on point.

My queen Janet , the trailblazer of dance videos ❤
You should react to rhythm nation live at the velvet rope tour.. Its perfection and shows her dancing choreo with nunchucks
Holy crap...that def sounds interesting
This is a master piece 🤣 wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow I avent this for years thanx buddy brilliant awesome 👌👍
This is my ALL TIME favorite Janet video EVER!! She looks AMAZING and the dancing in this video is off the charts!! Wow! Just LOVE this song and video!! Wish she’d come back with more music like this in 2020!
React to the music video of "Doesnt Really Matter" by Janet
Janet said she wanted a "voyeurism" vibe which basically the act of watching especially in sexual cases she really wanted to go out of the box and push boundaries and she did
timothy chung are you really still holding a grudge for something she said 27 years ago 😂 gtfo, she’s said supportive things about Madonna since, and Madonna started it with the “rhythm nation? Bite your tongue” comment

Every nightclub in this era was industrial. It was fastest trend to move from the east to the west coast. Music and fashion before the internet always started in New York and eventually moved to L.A.
Sure, the song has aged fairly well. But it samples The Supremes' "Someday We'll Be Together" from 1969, and THAT has aged even better.
That is my favorite Supremes song by far!
i should check Supremes out!
teppolundgren She also sampled “Love Child” on that album in the song You Want This.
And what a killer sample that is.
Janet clearly has a thing for Diana Ross, because she even sampled "Love Hangover" on her "Velvet Rope " record.
Between Janet and Madonna you had two of the biggest stars on the planet in the 90s. A big rival went on but I always loved both equally.
They were also the biggest stars of the 80s. That was a time when rivalries didn't exist, but all artists could co-exist and great music was the only thing that mattered. Music was great back then.
Madonna was always a little pressed over JJ to be honest. J was the better dancer and and more natural performer IMO. Hell of a song writer too with the best production team in the industry.

PLEASE react to "Miss you Much"
Yessssssss. Thank you for reacting to this. React to Janet’s All Nite Dont Stop please!!
oh I never got the password thing at the begining!! LOL...so you have to do Rythm Nation, Miss You Much. Escapade.. my favorites dance performances!! I remember some of those moves!! so good!!
Loved this video when it came out, and it is still just as great
One of the best videos of the 90s
You should check the lyrics out this is freaky Janet and I'm here for it and loving it!! And the choreography is just perfect!
She was ahead of her time......
Now please react to Janet Jackson's Pleasure Principal
it's a bop and Janet slays
Another video that shows why she's the 'G O A T'
Black Cat by her is a must to check out.
Such an underated banger. Love it!
It´s sexy but in a very artful / tasteful way. Eyecandy!
If anyone deserves a look in, in the same way as Madonna, it is Janet.
ABSOLUTELY 100%
This song and video was so ahead of its time even i a Janet fan liked it but i didn't love it....now 20 plus years later ...I live 4 it lol
In 93’ I was just a 7 year old when this song was released. 🥰 the feelz, her music a long with other artist of that decade are timeless.
Well " IF " I had the choice I would go back to the 80's.
This song and video still goes hard!!
A lil’ kool thing is that if you watch the making of Jennifer Lopez is still one of ’the kids’ learning the choreography. She’s not in the video tho. Wonder what the story is. Maybe she got her solodeal there somewhere.
She got her gig as a 'fly girl' on In Living Color.
Please react to her last amazing but underplayed bop. ' Made for Now' Hot video
It is a great song and video. So uplifting during these stressful times.
The all dance version is the same video but it just cuts out the story aspects of the video and focuses solely on the dance performance. Worth watching.
Do a react to the making of the If video. You'll get to see Jennifer Lopez in the making of the video before she went on to do other work
Love this 💕
icon.
This was Janet tainting her image from good girl next door image she had before
HI Derek YOU have to react to Scream with Janet and Michael, it will BLOW your mind
I don't there's a song I know better and know like 10% of the words.
A great follow up to If would be Free your mind by En Vogue
Yes do alright please
Written and Produced by J Jackson J Jam and T lewis
Janet J at the height of her powers. Black Cat is a great track as well.
"Love will never do without you" is another gem of hers. Great reaction btw.
Love Will Never Do and If we're my 2 favorite songs!
😀 awesome video
YOU ARE CORRECT, IT IS AWESOME , ALL OF IT, 100%
Madonna and Janet are real Queens. They have always been slaying it!
To get into some "Raves" you had to get a phone number to find out a password in order to get into them.
Sometimes I revisit this video just for that iconic dance moment.
Since you love 90s dance I highly recommend Don’t Walk Away by Jade
And Back to Life by Soul II Soul
Janet was ahead of her time..
An all time favorite!!!
HEY DERI PLEASE DO MICHAEL JACKSONS COME TOGETHER , ANOTHER PART OF ME, DIRTY DIANA, GIVE INTO ME , THOSE MUSIC VIDEO CLIPS ARE SO HOT.

HEY DERI HAVE YOU CONCIDERED REACTING TO MICHAEL JACKSONS STARLIGHT ITS THRILLER BEFORE THRILLER , ITS BEFORE THEY CHANGED THE SONG TO THRILLER , ITS PRETTY GOOD.
Fight me but Beyonce learned from Janet. U can see Beyonce all in Janet's dance moves. Janet was that girl and that woman!
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were so ahead of their time with this track.
This is such a sexy song . The choreography , so sensual . This and her song THROB are definitely on my “get it” mix ! Hahaha 😉
A Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis Production.
This is my all time favorite Janet dance song. The video is so good with the choreography, very well done. But the song itself has definitely held up very well over time. I’ve always loved the transition from the verse to the chorus and the vocal layering that is done through out the song is priceless.
Have you watched Together Again, the song she wrote in tribute to her friends that died from AIDS? It's a joyous celebration of their lives, and my favorite of her dance songs.
One of my absolute favourite pop jams of all time! So damn sexy 🔥
Derek you’ve never heard this song? Were you living under a rock? Janet is the bomb
Perfection from the background vocal stacks, the samples used, the theme of the video, the choreography, rock guitars, the talented dancers and actors, cinematography, and Janets overall stage pressence/vocal performance. This lady is the blueprint and this is literally one for the ages
Absolutely love the “Love Child” sample and how it blended so well.
Janet jackson i like much como artista bro michael Jackson otro artista que es bueno el rey pop💃🤗
Still know this choreography by heart some 27 years later...
And I can thank this track for winning me a meet and greet with Janet in Washington back in 93.
@reddingmalik Meeting Janet? It was a meet & greet so very quick. She was lovely of course.
@reddingmalik Yeah! That’s a memory for life! Can’t believe it’s 30 years ago tho…
This video introduced touch screens before it was a thing
Touch screens were already a thing in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1988) 🙂
@@johneirikhomme1458 But nobody remember that.
This is my very first NON-MADONNA reaction of yours I've watched. I remember now how much I loved the "If" video choreo. . . Particularly the crotch grab on the hot dude 😆
Easily my favorite song/video of Janet's.
Stop touching the mic! Great reaction ;)
Iconic, love Janet ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is my favorite song from her it samples a supremes song someday we'll be together I fell in love with her study the lyrics its very sexual
