This came out when I was in high school and everyone in my class was downin the vid and actin like Janet looked ugly. At that point I felt so proud to be the only cool one in my class for seein the artistry and not bein fooled by makeup and cleavage, this is one of Janet coolest vids ever, she is so chill here.
I don't like this video because she chose dirty and poor looking dark skinned people and it made us look stank and dark skinned people are beautiful (except these ones) like really Janet...
@xoxofashiionista It's supposed to take place in the 60s in Africa during apartheid. So yeah...I don't think think they look stank....they're having a underground party rejecting apartheid and all the bullshit that goes with it.
@xoxofashiionista Nah...if anything, she's celebrating black culture and the freedom black people should have in Africa (and everywhere in the world for that matter).
Hey we are 4 french dudes and we created a blog featuring good music, fashion and street art. This song is featured on it, so if you dig it feel free to check out our blog, feelgoodcollective.blogspot.com
Wow, those binocular looking things at 3:39....Haven't seen those in years...You used to be able to see clips in it like a slideshow. We had Spiderman/Superman etc
this song is AWESOME!!!! "if i could turn back the hands of time i'd make you, fall in love, go with me again.so would you give me another chance to love, to love you, love you the right way again..."
put it on now! please lets put this lady back on the charts. artists like rihanna cant and will never compare! stop letting our standards slide! there is no comparison, toni, janet and whitney! true classics!
I use to listen to song when i was younger but never really got what she is saying but i get it now and she's right " you don't know what u got till it's gone".... Come back Janet Jackson we miss you, take us back to th e basic
sucramdude@ were you really listening and paying attention to the song and lyrics and the msg they were trying to show and NOT the fact that you dislike the artist(s)?!?!?!? because from my opinion I love this song it makes my day anytime I here it so before you bash a song think of the song not the artist Ty n Goodbye ♪(´ε` )
wth... this song beat Tool's "Stinkfist" they put there heart and soul in there music and they lost to this bitch! all she can do is dance to a beat and sing about herself. i hate this bitch. Tool were the underdogs at the time and now look at where there at... making there 6th album and reached out to many others with there REAL music. What is she doing now... by my guess she is probably around the corner sucking a guys dick for $20 and a hit of da crack pipe. I hope its infested with AIDS.
i think you're the one that's been whoring yourself and want to reflect on janet because you are an ugly bitch. who the hell is TOOL? nobody has heard of those losers. they made 6 albums big deal. janet has made 10 albums and has sold over 100 million. she is known and loved all over the world. don't be mad because she is better than your little band. it's not her fault they suck. and i bet they charge 5 bucks to suck. lol
Knew something was wrong when Years ago i seen Jimmy Jam and Terry LEwis over charging ass get credit for this record. Even as a shorty i knew damn well them 2 souless ass Dude did'nt have enough Balls to create this. J. Dilla Rest in Paradise.
long live J Dilla! i'm working on a project consisting of all Dilla beats (released or un-released) & if anyone can get in touch with the Yancey Estate please inbox me. i want them to see how Dilla's work inspired me. i already uploaded a few on my channel anything with a picture of Dilla feel free to check it out & give your input i want to make sure i'm doing his work justice. peace & blessings!
I really wish she stuck with the Neo Soul thing. Not that she doesn't work great on her sex appeal image, but this sort of thing sticks around longer for me at least. Seems more poignant.
this video was amazing back then when it was released and it would have been even more amazing if it was released currently. todays shit has nothing on it. no lady gaga, nicki minaj or even M.I.A., santogold or whoever for that matter can compare to this masterpiece
Funny thing is, MJ is considered the biggest star in music, probably ever, but Janet had a much better feel for the changing trends in r'n'b than Michael did.
Also for all those fake wannabe hispters..aka sheep..this was the time when rocking those glasses wascool, now you're just one of a fucking million..say meeeeeeehh
Damn, shit aint even that long ago, and so much has changed..back then zappin on tv, and finding shit like this was normal, now it would be a miracle.
