  • i think the only music artist in this generation that can pull this off..is Ciara.. My opinion...

  • i miss when having normal curves and a great body like this s what ppl goals were now everyone want to be a stick

  • Paula Abdul had nothing to do with the choreography in this video. Now stop spreading lies y'all.

  • RIght - Beyonce can't EVEN compare to JANET !!!!

  • i love how Janet dances. She learned from Paula abdul and also from his brother Michael

  • You can thank Paula Abdul for the steps in this one. One of her best videos if not THE best.

  • Janet Jackson is that X-TRA shit!! and come on" man!! Nobody was touching her in this era!!

  • LADIES AND GENTELMAN THE QUEEN.

  • Why are people trying to give Madonna Janet's title as the Queen of pop? Madonna's superbowl performance was superb but when has Madonna ever done a video to this caliber?!?! Go Janet!!

  • @TheaterNerd3298 I don't know about you, but I consider Madonna and Miss Jackson (if ya nasty) to be of the same caliber. I idolized them both growing up. Madonna for her artistry and Miss Jackson for her dance moves.

  • always amazing, always on point; ALWAYS A LADY, and ooooozes sexuality without even trying . . .

  • People continue to compare Janet to Michael. HELLOOO. He was her big brother and even Janet said Michael was influential. Michael didn't mind his baby sis copying his stuff...in fact he was proud.  So let it rest.

  • @23wini

    Agreed! :)

  • Yes I think is a more beautiful video of Janet of all time. Dance by Pola Abdul is magic. I really love Janet because she wasn't afraid become a singer.... If i have brother like her, I never - never - never try sing... She's really artiste & really strong girl

  • I concur! I am confused by many new artists. My idea of talent is Janet in this video. Talk about pleasure...this is a priceless.

  • yes,baby,i,gets,down,with,this­

  • Finally, Thank-you23wini some else who believe Beyone is not all that. 23wini I hope I did not take what you said out, of content..... Please, don't anyone send me any comments most of you guys are so one sided and then you always use foul language. To those, of you who use that type of language Brother Malcolm said " your uneducated if that all you can say". I parpharse what he said, but I sure you understand what I'm trying to say.

  • Michael got the moves from her! ;) (Well, sometimes. I love them both, but they both borrowed heavily from one another. "Rhythm Nation" borrowed its style from "Captain EO"; "Bad" copied some of Janet's older choreography, but Michael sticks it better. This video was shot in the same location as "Smooth Criminal", "Black Cat" directly influenced the final portion of "Black or White"... you can go on!) They're both incredible artists whose work was used to inspire each other many times.

  • @mdm8 That's the irony of it, several moves in this video MJ actually borrowed in the future, but you don't see us Janet fans going to his videos to make a point about it, cuz we're not threatened or insecure :)

  • @magicpaint Specifically when she walks upstairs and does the one knee drag across the floor. You can see MJ doing that in "The Way You Make Me Feel" "Pleasure P." came out in 1987 "The Way You Make Me Feel" came out in 1988. MJ didn't care and neither did Janet. Genetics!!! Love them Both!

  • @wannabfamousnow Exactly. I just get sick of MJ fans polluting Janet videos with these claims that she 'stole' from him, when the reality is that they both borrowed from each other. I don't go to MJ videos posting shit like this. MJ fans need to stay on their lane and stop saying bullshit. Pisses me off so much.

  • who can fuck wit janet? She is a queen in her on right....been in tha game my whole life...She is genuine enough to give fem fatiles room 2 breath.... She only shares her crown...When they done.. They know who to return it too...legoo

  • Sorry Beyonce...you've got nothing on this girl.

  • @23wini right on

  • @23wini You can say that again and again and again---and again!

  • @23wini Sorry Beyonce...but you always nothing...

  • tutorial somebody!!

  • It's not surprising that there might be a few moves that remind us of MJ when we see Janet dance...that is her brother and they were close. She developed her own style tho over the years tho so there is no doubt about her being able to stand on her own...she always has been able to and proved that with the release of Rythem Nation...it's only sad that she has to. I'm glad that they were able to do Scream...she won't have that regret.

  • 1:34 - 1:37 dance move just about sums up the 80s. ;p

  • Janet is a superstar in her own right, she was inspired by her brother Michael.

  • Sorry MJ STANS but I dont see anything that looks remotely close to MJ here except for the fact that they r brother and sister some of u all stretch really hardwith the comparisons

  • COPYING Michael Jackson dance moves!! Janet is Overrated..

  • @yosraz1 She is not overrated, the Rhythm Nation album was just a tough act to follow. 4 number one songs, 6 top 10 and 7 top 40, hard to beat that.

  • @jojo34209 ......i disagree with u on that...i think she's overrated..bye

  • @yosraz1 Just like any other person that has an opinion about a particular celebrity, like whoever finds a use for any of the Kardashians, and the majority of us that know they add nothing positive to our culture.

  • Great song! All the fuss is made over Rhythm Nation, but Control is where it's at!

  • Doesn't really matter who she got stuff from she is the one that's doing it with her own style. By the way for your info all of you dance experts I saw a move or two that James Cagney did YEARS AGO in a movie. The little chair flip was one.. Way before Janet's Dad was even thinking about girls.

  • TUNE!!

  • You must love the haters, most artist are influenced by someone.

  • Janet! i'm all for you, because you got this, and together again whenever you want and that's the way my love goes for you and i don't want to wait awhile because love will never do without you! The pleasure principle is my favourite subject to learn ever!

  • actually as far as i know she was influenced also by paula abdul

  • still to this day NO WOMEN EVER has ever has turned me on in a video like Janet's Pleasure Principle. Hands down she wasn't trying to be sexy she just is.

  • One of my favorite Janet Videos.

  • 1:35 she does the dance from speed demon from Michael!

    SO COOOL :D

  • Ooooh 1:25 was straight Mike. Lol.

  • michael allowed janet to take some of his move because she was just starting out

  • damn she's hot

  • Janet's tight yo...word

  • great song by Monty Moir

  • damme she was sexy as hell

  • from Paula Abdul

  • How can you copy someone when you come from the same house hold, have the same parents and was groomed the same way? 

  • the description should actually be where MICHAEL got his moves from.. his video speed demon came out 2 years after this one and he uses alot of her moves from this video in it :)

  • @michaeljacbabe15 THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT!!! He used a lot of her moves in award show performances...including the countdown from Rhythm Nation. He has said himself that he admires her as an artist and performer as well!

  • I swear to God Janet was as close to perfect as any woman in the world could ever hope to be...

  • 3 ppl are haters... 80s music was the shit

  • I remember when this video came out I couldn't wait to get home and try this dance routine.

  • how you gonna cut the video???? I was over here jamming.

  • Janet has her own thing! I dont see michael influence on her more really he was influence by her i think so! They fed off each other!

  • This is my favourite Janet song. Btw, the sound quality for this is GREAT!!! Thanks for posting!

  • Actually, most of Janet's early videos were choreographed by Paula Abdul so she actually got her moves from Paula. :-)

  • @divamom131 Paula may have choreographed.....but Janet took those moves to another level!!!!!

  • @jclef614 Jennifer Lopez says this is her favorite dance video

  • @jclef614 paula didnt do this .. barry lather

  • @divamom131 paula cheorgraphed her videos not teach her to dance

  • It's a happy thing when you can't name just one favorite song from an artist. I love so many of her songs, I can't even name them all.

  • this was one hell of an album hit after hit love it ;)

  • This clip is great, but i don't understand why this music video beat MJ's "the way you make me feel" and "bad" in 1988 MTV VMA.

  • I thought she got her moves from Paula

  • ummmm, so delicious

  • once again the 90s out weight every decade in music.

  • @0vizzy This was the 80s. off the Control Album.

  • Janet Miss Jackson if you're nasty. Can she dance or what!!!

  • Miss old Janet not feeling the new steeze! Big fan though!

  • I think this will always be my favorite Janet look... 

  • @knickie1982 I completely agree. Whoever stated she copied his moves, clearly has not seen any of her dance videos. Love Michael I do, but in my opinion, Janet far out-dances Michael. Look at all of her different beats!

  • @bahamutskingdom they both can dance, but are u kiddin me u then lost yo damn mind.lol,janet don't out dance mj,i almost cried laughing when you said that.But im not gonna bring mj up on this janet video.this girl is a great dancer

  • I haven,t done pleasure principle by janet jackson since Terrace Hills Middle School many. yrs ago

  • I don't think it is fair to say Janet got all her moves from Michael. Naturally she was infuenced by him, but Janet made it her own. If she was just copying Michael, she would never have had the lasting success she's had. Go Janet!

  • @JelloFarming  this is my song!!) you go girl Janet..)

  • @JelloFarming exactly Janet is a entertainer in her own right. she never really copied Michael. Although she did ask him for the moves in Rhythm Nation, but the theme about the message in the video was all her. She is amazing

  • @JelloFarming much agreed. i love Micheal's stuff too, but i think Janet always had her own style. i do see the influence, but it's done in her own way. not a copy cat at all, like that bitch ga-ga.

  • @JelloFarming She did NOT get all her moves from Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson doesn't more than half of what Janet does from this video. I've NEVER seen Michael jackson do a split, twril on knees, balance a microphone stand on his ankle and throw it up to his hand, flip off of a chair, dance on a moving airplane, dance with real nunchucks, pop his hips, or throw his leg behind his head. Janet's dancing is far more complex. You michael fans really need to take a chill pill!

  • @anti00pop Amen. Don't they get we are Janet fans are Mike fans also? Really Mike is amazing and Janet herself ha said he has come up with moves the world has never seen but mike fans have some respect for Janet. Her moves might not be as flashy as mikes but they are far more complex when tied together. Now I will say they did share some dance moves but who doesn't? Mike got some from James Brown but how quickly we forget that

  • @anti00pop put it simple .MJ is listed among the best dancers of all time,yeah All time.A dancer is not measured out of how complex are the routines.Classical,tap dancers, flamenco dancers,street dancers the best coreographers agree in MJ being among the top 3 dancers of his time.Janet is a brilliantdancer,worked her ass off,worked with great coreog like P.abdul andproducers Jam&lewis(genius)but please MJ is the best entertainer recording artist of all time.hello earth? we love janet but PLEASE!

  • @JelloFarming she admitted that she was influenced by him, Michael gave her the concept of "military style choreography" cause originally Rhythm Nation was supposed to be for Michael, but Janet begged for it, so he gave it to her. That's about the only thing I can say Janet took from him. But he definitely mentored her, she just took his formula and did her own thing with it. As she grew older, during the 90s, she began to develop her own signature.

  • @JelloFarming but she's just as legendary as Michael. So many other Jacksons have tried to get to where they have gotten, it's impossible. and to be honest, I feel like Janet deserves more credit for the legacy she's created.

  • paula abdul did choreography for janet back in the day

  • wat happened 2 da rest?? omg this brings bk memories i had the whole set of control video's on vhs i watched it almost everyday as a kid:)

  • It's so Paula Abdul but luv it <3

  • @ladyfierce no Barry Lathers choreographed

  • best female street dancer ever!

  • this was made 1986 michael's the way u make me feel was made 1987 just too make it clear!

  • yeah baby

  • This song is timeless .....

  • its longer than this. I love Janet she is the best female dancer ever, shes original.

  • @simsalfred7 Gosh, if you have not seen Alyson Reed, Cyd Charisse, Eleanor Powell, Ginger Rogers, Margot Fonteyn or Ann Miller, your best female dancer ever call is very naive.

    As good as Janet is, most of the dancing she did in the 80's on her videos was mainly choreographed by Paula Abdul. Several of her moves in this video appeared on the movie Fast Forward, a year before this video. so your original claim is also very naive as well.

  • @jojo34209 its naive to bring up such dancers. People like you are hating on Ms. Jackson because she is the best to ever do it. Cyd Charisse was in Janet's "Alright" video, she didn't do too much..

  • @simsalfred7 Cyd was almost 70, you dummy, the little she did in that video outclassed anything Janet did next to her, and Janet was thrilled that such elegance and style appeared in her video; catch Cyd moving in Singing in the Rain or The Band Wagon or Silk Stockings, and THAT IS DANCING.

    I never hate Janet, she is a great performer and one of my all-time favorites (especially 86-96), your claims about her originality and being the "best female dancer" are completely naive and overstated.

  • @jojo34209 listen jojo or who ever you are, you need to leave the Golden Age in its era. Stop comparing those senior citizens or dead folk to my baby Janet. it makes you the dummy. Yes the golden age had their times,but from the 80s on up or based on what i've seen Janet tops the Goddamn list its no such thing as calling Janet Overrated, unless you under estimate her work, and when you do that you stepping over bounderies kid. this is my stopping point peace.

  • @simsalfred7 Listen Freddy boy, remain ignorant all you want, I did not call Janet overrated, I said you are overrating her as a dancer and performer, she is great at what she does, but she is hardly and will never be THE BEST or GREATEST at anything; she is a great product like many others of her type, so AMEN and PEACE, over-hyping and over-rating fool.

  • @jojo34209 ha ha ha, Michael & Janet will remain the Greatest

  • You could do a lot worse than those 2 for sure.

  • @jojo34209 ..i AGREE with u..

  • Respond to this video... Why post this great video if you are not even gonna post the whole thing? There is nothing "ORIGINAL" about it from showing just half of it.

  • @simsalfred7 how can she be the best female dancer wen half of these moves r paula abdul the other half are michaels lol

  • @icecoldnsmooth thats not true, these are her dance moves. the only video from paula abdul moves is "When I Think Of You". it might be one move of michael here but the rest are hers.

  • I love it! Love it! awesome audio! :)

  • this is still in my 10 all-time favorite videos she is still amazing singer, performer, dancer and add acting to this

    i love you Janet

  • awsome(:

  • She dances so much like MJ in this music video!

  • i love her
