@joetj From 1:42 to 1:45 her slow pop walk, her stance at 1:58, and landing on her knees at 3:30. These are where I can see Michael's influence. Not only him, but you can also see Paula Abdul's influence big time too.
@pulgabros lmao are you serious about a stance? A walk is influenced by Michael? lol I guess he did like a female and rubbed on his thighs and ass like Janet did too and droppin' to her knees was influenced by Michael? lol. None of that made since and there's no Paula influence. Let Janet be Janet. She's a dancer herself so let her dance. Everything she does doesn't mean it's from Michael or Paula
and you people wonder how britney spears when she was at her peak got her creativity. RIGHT HERE,the dance moves the sexuality even the ripping off clothing. ALL COPIED FROM JANET JACKSON.
@90sBabyNERD actually that was on the "Rhythm Nation" tour when that happened. she was using a live panther when that tour started, but then had to stop because animal rights people were bitching, as usual.
SOMEBODY ANSWER ME --- Does this incorporate the SMOKE ON THE WATER riff by DEEP PURPLE?? nothing is ever really noted on say the use of riffs and samples to artist on artist. -- DEEP PURPLE, Smoke On The WATER? (I hear it)
i remember janet still had a very clean image before this performance. everyone at my high school lunch table was talking about the 'black bra' the next day!
Love it,she is one of the best.. Go Janet Go on this new start and do not let these haters ever take you down again like after the superbowl nonsense. You will always be one of the greats.. Love ya...
@kcndf ..This is not live but Janet worked the hell outta that stage..She totally made up for the lip-sync on this..Her body & attitude is amazing..Standing Ovation!!..She didn't miss a beat!!
i remember she opened the MTV VMAs that year w/ this performance... loved it!
then when she did the MJ tribute at this year's VMAs, i was, like, man i miss janet. she should definitely get back out there w/ a new album and new choreography but ya' know along the lines of the Rhythm Nation era. jus' good jams to sing to and good music vids w/ her cool dancing..
@taurus2leo She needs to stick with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and go back to Tina Landon, because Gil Duldulao and Jermaine Dupri just ain't doin it right.
It's too bad Janet didn't release or do any more rock songs! She wrote Black Cat, she's obviosuly great at writting rock songs! Oh and this performance was BEAST! :)
AWESOME PERFORMANCE.... and no wonder why they call her MS JACKSON IF YA NASTY (LOL)...I say that b/c of the 2:35 mark. Still and all, she is an awesome performer... her and her family. and God bless her Brother, Michael.
1990 MTV Video Music Awards... I remember this one like yesterday... Janet killed it that night, one of their best award shows ever because of Miss J!!!
This performance is the absolute SHIT!!! I like the the other pop/dance divas but they simply cannot touch Janet when it comes to down right raw stage prescence & performing. Not even the woman whose name starts with an M. Janet rocks like no one else can or does!!!
This is why Janet is the queen right here, name any other female performer who could pull a performance like this? None thats who! One of hundreds of great performances. She should come back hard with her new album and wipe the floor with these bitches that are about nowadays!!!!!
Ok, I have to know: I have a tape of the original MTV broadcast. This video is such a clear version and features some different camera angles from the broadcast. Where did you get this recording???
I was searching for this performance. I remember it well that year. It was awesome and she was all over the papers by the next day after that performance. She was definately showing how she was coming into her own with rhythm nation. Love, love, love it!
outstanding !
thumbs up if you seen this on VMA's 90' ? (;
