[samanthalee107]

[MichaelJacksonFan523]

[LuckyApplehead]

Female MJ

[ChapterVIII09]

i read somewhere that this choreography inspired mj's live choreography of jam in the early 90's

[Justinee25]

Queen :)

[massashad]

I love the first part with the choreography; which was just sick and the Nasty part.

[SanYel09]

i know prince was piss when he saw this, he probably was falling out his seat.lol

[guillech]

OMG she was just great at that times!!! excellent performance!!!

[wannabfamousnow]

This is my favorite Janet live performance! I remember my mom letting me stay up to catch this back in 1987. I wish that I could see the rehearsals for this performance. Janet is a true ICON! GO ON MS. JANET!!!! :)

[colovale]

One of the best grammy performances ever! Instant standing ovation - very deserved...

[jonaslove411]

i watch this all the time, she's the QUEEN!!!!!!!! Beyonce, Britney, Rihanna, have nothing on JANET!!!!!

[Rakim8]

@jonaslove411 - yea she's awesome but give it up with comparing the new artists with her. I tell you right now, Janet in her heyday could not do what Beyonce is doing now so yea.......give it up.

[MJJgal58]

@Rakim8 Janet is 45 and is still her performances are mind blowing. Beyonce is great but Janet beats her anyday . ;)

[Rakim8]

@MJJgal58 - No one said her performances aren't amazing.....

Both have and are still making their own mark. What i'm saying is Beyonce is the better performer overall.....you're only saying Janet beats her anyday because Janet came first. Sit down.

[MJJgal58]

@Rakim8 Woawh, im not dissing Beyonce, i happen to be a major fan. I'm just sayin Janet beats her anyday in my books and im not changing my opinions for you so YOU sit yo ass down. Ffs.

[Rakim8]

@MJJgal58 - ok fair enough....I can dig that.

[icechips2005]

I remember this shit I was glued to the t.v. and taped and watched it over and over...LOL!

[GeorgeSlover1994]

you can tell that her and michael were close they both liked dancing , singing and having fun x And they look like eachother x WOW she is brill

[ChantalSlagers]

She sings so good!

[chrisbrownswifey4sho]

[THALADYD]

[david2407]

AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S THE QUEEN! Was puttin' it down when Britney and Rhianna were still in the crib!

[ac0891]

Besides that, Brit and Rhi still can't top it.

[THALADYD]

well rih wasnt even born yet when janet performed this

[futurescholar91]

isn't this the same year MJ performed at the the way u make me feel at the grammys??

[Blackicegxr]

This perfomance was in Feb 1987, Michael's performance was in Feb 1988.

[Haniah786]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[Pharrellsnumber1]

that was hot..

[Aphrodite1070]

omg i did this in the high school talent show with my two friends in 87, wow memories, now looking at this we did it exact.

[RSTAR2009]

Yeah!

[itochaco]

That's what i call a FUCKING show! awesome!

[queenofpopjj]

Janet shut that shit down!! Love her so much <333

[BRITMIXER]

my FAVORITE Janet performance. I was 13 years old when I saw this in '87!!

3:41 "wait a minute, I forgot somethin'" LOVE IT

[bklynchicka994]

where u from ? it's THE same or is that your aim talk ?

[fijianqueen23]

i love this performace, this was where she first showed the world who she was

they all thought she was just a baby

and michael's little sister who only wanted to be like him,

she showed everyone how tough she is and how talented. she was and is FEIRCE!!

JO JANET...

stay strong..

RIP MICHAEL

[lovethestage]

When this came on all I wanted to do, be and hope for was to be this girl. She was just everything - everything a young black girl in America wanted to be, look like and replicate. Go ahead Janet, go ahead and do it, show them and flaunt it! I was so very proud to see her hold Paris up, and enable her to tell the world about the love she had for her daddy at MJ's memorial. The Jackson's are so much more than what the naysayers say they are. Thank you for giving us so much Joy.

[chilito91]

This bitch is BAD.

[cavstony]

is there a reason why is she so amazing!!

[ddanc78]

loving the hair...why was hair so big in the 80'S LOL..

[fijianqueen23]

the scary thing is, big hair.. is coming back now

=S

[coupefan17]

u really can't get anything like this nowadays. I'm only 18 but 2days music is so low quality idk why ppl r so impressed by it. but as always its good 2 have old clips of sexy ms. jackson 2 look back on!

[jacobR1377]

wait a minute i forgot something!

[QuoGirl]

3:08-3:22 soooo classic and 80s!! same with the one at 3:46, "the Right Stuff" ahmazing.

[latinplaya4u2002]

dey dont do it like that anymore.

[wannabfamousnow]

Yeah, the Grammy's and AMA's have not been the same since the 80s. I remember from like 1981 to 1987 the Grammy's was the show not to miss. The Gap Band, Marvin Gaye, Michael J. Prince, Janet J. All electricfying. A good majority of today's artist don't have this same raw talent that draws you in to stop and watch.

[spinbear33]

I mean, this performance was revolutionary. This was the introduction to the head set microphone. What a revolutionary Janet was and still is.

[cede456]

actually, it was Kate Bush who made the introduction to head set mic - in the late 70s.

for example here:

/watch?v=C9Ej4WDybCQ

[sweetbabyamongus]

hey, she's a jackson. what do you expect other than an outstanding performance?

[xKeyshia18x]

now THAT is what i call a performance! i wasn't even born when this happened but i can appreciate it all the same! Janet is AMAZING! I laugh when everybody gets SOOOOO excited over beyoncé when she performs, they need to watch some Janet Jackson performances!

[PhoenixxxStar]

I love the hair and the moves! Awesome!

[NatureGirl215]

This is how you are to shut down the grammy's. Best grammy performance.

[cavstony]

That white dude in the beginning directly on her left was working it hard!

[calen27]

that's whent the grammys and ama were good!! i miss the jacksons performing at those shows.

[dayg715]

amen to that! no award show has seen a performance like this since!

[JellyBean2144]

What? No props for my Uncles (Jam, Lewis, Jerome, JellyBean)? I have said it like a millions times, Janet is a perfect fit for Jam and Lewis and..my uncles and Janet wrecked shop in 1987!! The Grammy's have not been the same since then..ever.

[skye009]

The grammys need to get Janet back to perform. Especially for this year, when Katy Perry, Lil Wayne and the Jonas Brothers are nominated? GOOD LAWWD!!

Janet is the BEST PERFORMER EVER (other than Mike Jackson) I own ALL albums, even the pre control ones too. Im mostly a Mariah fan, but Janet is no doubt the EMPRESS in my mind!!

[wannabfamousnow]

Man, I remember my mother letting me stay up for this performance. I've always thought that this is Janet's best performance on TV. I have the original taping of this Grammy Performance. I pop it in the vcr every once and awhile and go back to yesteryear. :) I love me some Janet. I would love for her to perform like this again just her, her band and a few dancers.

[VibeFly]

I recorded this performance on VCR back in the day that night of the Grammies when I was 16 yrs old but have since lost it. If you still have this in fine recording to transfer to DVD I'll be happy to pay you well for it!! Please let me know!

[seventimechamp]

oh wow!that was realllyyy good

[meche182]

@ 1:55 shes so funky I dont even know what to do with myself. I wish she would still try to do these moves.

[bluhrted]

ahhh yeahhh..i remember this..one of my favs!

[divineaglaia]

control was my first album/tape too! i was like 5 but i used to play control over and over all the time when my parents would get on my nerves(and that was pretty difficult seeing as it was a cassette tape with no repeat button)...i don't think they got the hint though

[keiteltheone]

i too seen this when it aired on tv. i was 21 me and janet is the same age i love her now and then

[llws88]

classic!!

[annamaria32]

I second that... been looking for this for years. Classic Janet. Flawless and timeless. Going to the Rock Witchu concert tmrw. much love to all the JJ fans.

She rocked it out. And nobody can do a sick flip like that.... this is where it all started... with JJ

[dayg715]

anyone remember when fergie did those flips onstage on american idol earlier this year? well, kids, this is where she got it from. The Icon herself, Miss Jackson!

[youngblackfrench16]

this performance still amazing !

[Pajamatop10]

I remember watching this performance when it aired on TV. I thought to myself...Damn, Janet looks so hot and Glamorous in her black outfit. And she really did a great job.

[aimeedus]

"Control" was the first album that I ever owned my mother brought it for me in 1987 when I was 5.I had it on cassette

[dayg715]

OMG, me too! my mother also bought it for me, on vinyl (yeah, i'm old lol) i still have it, too, that same vinyl record.

[manlover32]

Control was my first album, too. It was also the first that I really got into dance. All because of Queen Janet.

[enjoythevision]

the legend janet

[Ari721]

her body was perfect!

[ComoLaFlorr]

woow gotta love janet amazing!

[missjanet88]

i would totally wear janet's outfit.

[1dancelover1]

To jaggsokc: That shit ain't cool or funny......Don't u EVER disrespect Janet like that again

[LUVHYM]

Pure!

[jaggsokc]

Check out Janet's first wardrobe malfunction at 3:48-3:51.

[chichi2626]

I love you Janet. I am her number one fan. The best female singer ever.

[MAGIC07]

Bes female dancer or performer....Janet isnt a singer

[kent504]

Whitney is the best singer of course.

[wgseagal]

she looks so beautiful here

[shalusharlene]

i love this .. shes so talented!!

[rstar2008]

Classic performance by Miss Janet Jackson! I remember how me and my homies in college was goin' nuts over this!

[oldiesfool]

i REMEMBER THIS NIGHT jANRT HAD LOST TO WHITNEY IN ALMOST EVERY CATEGORY-AND THIS WAS LIKE SHE WAS SAYING F*** YA'LL.

lOVED IT-THE GIRL WAS BAD

[XxPalestinaxX]

awesome

[mwtillman]

THanks soooo much for posting this...

Janet had come out of her shell.. and changed the rules...

Thank God for THE TIME!!! they helped her launch her REAL career... I cried after this performance in 1987 .. I was so inspired!!!

[mwtillman]

Thanks soooooooo much for posting this... you're the GREATEST!!! :-)

[JanetFan81]

thanks 4 posting!

[papiblatino]

Thank you so much for posting this. I once had this on VHS and it was stolen (nice friends huh??..lol). She kicked MAJOR ass with this performance. And still does. Will Always be a fan.

[Blackicegxr]

Ur welcome. will post more.

[diva88chic]

they did not jus flip her lol

[totalalisa]

the only one who should feel stupid is you... and your psycho self... you are too dumb to realize that NO one cares who much money janet and mariah has... and that YOU or any one but them will ever see that money

[totalalisa]

lololol LOLOL this is so much funny arguing with a MORON...

[aimeedus]

These damn Mariah trolls need to be on her payroll!!!!!!!! They were posting the same shit on my videos and I had to block them.But she kept creating new accounts and I would just delete them and block her I guess she finally gave up.I will never understand how people have the time to go around trolling on youtube it takes a lot of dedication LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! dont they have jobs

[totalalisa]

EXACTLY.... it makes you want to say away from Mimi's music.. cause if listening to her stuff will make you crazy like that then I will NOT buy or listen to her music....

[miamivicepastels83]

@aimeedus the sad thing is mariah and jan are friends in real life.........some ppl are so pitiful

[Blackicegxr]

Get from between Mariah's legs. If you care so much for Mariah, why are you posting on Janet's video?

[totalalisa]

i want janet to perform like this again.. 2008 and can't wait...

[totalalisa]

YOU ARE PSYCHO... please i beg you to get a life... AND LEAVE ME ALONE.. you NO LIFE REJECT...

[morik1]

STANDING OVATION !!!

[hotboi4uonly]

Thank you posting this. I have on VHS too and she looks so good. Did you guys see how slim she was..The hair was on point and the choreography was crazy.. She was at her peak then..Love this performance. It was her best all around..

[u2nwonknu]

She didn't peak with Control...obvious you have been in a whole since then...

[Azone01]

I was gon post this too!!  This was her best performance of WHYDFML!

[asianpersuasion08]

what did janet say at 3:06

[Blackicegxr]

"JellyBean, uh." She was referring to JellyBean Johnson on drums.

[asianpersuasion08]

thank u

[totalalisa]

it sounds like she was saying "JB" which i think stands for Jelly Bean....

[eaglepride1]

I remember this like it was yesterday. I had recorded the this show on VHS but my dad recorded the NBA All Star game on top of it. I was mad with him for months. Thank you for the post. :)

[Blackicegxr]

You're welcome. I uploaded Janet's 1987 AMA performance of Control, but was rejected.

[JellyBean2144]

This was the baddest,coolest,funkiest Grammies ever!!

I don't know if it was because of Uncle Jimmy,Terry, Jerome,and JellyBean or Janet Jackson. All I know is, they brought the house down that night!! That was awesome.

[Blackicegxr]

Are you related to Jimmy Jam or JellyBean Johnson?

[Soapbubble1]

It's obvious who Britney stole her 'moves' from.

[Blackicegxr]

Britney's no match. My sister watched her practice at the dance studio they both attended in New York. She wasn't impressed.

[prinzcharm]

It always funny when press claims that britney was totally influenced by madonna. when you look at britney in her hay day she was all stylized dance routines, when was madonna famous for dance routines? Brintey got that from Janet, but they refuse to give her credit for that one.

[Rbm60III]

Britney is actually a mix of Janet and Madonna. Of course it was Michael who opened the doors for Janet, but she wanted to create s style of her own and succeeded. Janet has earned every bit of her succes. Honestly, it wasn't just Brit who took some of Janet's style, back in the late 80's there were Jody Watley, Pebbles, Karyn White today there's Britney, Ciara ( mix of Jan and Aaliyah)Jlo ( mix of Janet, Paula Abdul, Selena and Gloria Estefan) etc. etc.

[Rbm60III]

really, BEFORE Janet there wasn't really any FEMALE performer doing what Janet was doing and after the " Control" album came many. Sure her main influence was Michael, no doubt about that. she may not be as legendary as he is but iconic none the less. People should give credit where it's due, cause Michael and Janet paved the way for many of today's so-called talents. At least they had originality in their bones.

[slimsxyblkwoman]

Brittany who????

[marlmacmomark]

Janet is the shit, but thanks to Prince and the Time for the sound and style!

[twojk]

umm.. better be thanking her brother for that one.....

[marlmacmomark]

uhh...jimmy jam & terry lewis, producers of her biggest hits, former members of the Time, a Prince-backed Mineapolis band. Hence her early sound. Connect the dots?

[twojk]

I connect the dots just fine. It doesnt take a genius to come and put there money behind something that sounds good. I can walk out my house right not, hear somthing that sounds like a hit. And deicde to put my money behind. the 80s was all micheal... anything that came out of that decade. any sound was his. across all genres.. And the only reason anyone is still comparing prince to micheal is because he still looks human (hot even). And has stayed out of scandal. Micheal lead the way,no contest

[marlmacmomark]

Any sound of the 80's was michael's? o.k., we could go on and on, Michael IS awesome and all. But I draw the line at Michael having a "sound". First off, Michael's songs were usually either produced or co-produced. Prince? NEVER a producer except him, hence critics saying his "sound" has influenced so many. Y'know...one of the best guitar players, concert-level pianist, great singer, great drummer, etc etc. Based on all of this, if anyone's "sound" was copied in the 80's, it was Prince's!

[aqueencee1]

i must say that this performance is THE baddest there is out there as far as females are concernd! but of course this was when her performances were about being just bad and not sex appeal which is cool just not all the time.

[Akron51381]

This fucking performance rocks!!!! The best even Whitney Houston was on her feet jumping up and down after this performance. Janet is not a singer she is a performer that is what we know her for. I don't really want to hear her belt out a note, I want to see her fucking kill a dance routine on stage. I leave the singing the other diva's out there. Keep on giving it to us Janet

[aqueencee1]

she sings very well, i donn't know why people always try and say that she can't sing.i will say she is no whitny or mariah but she sings. very well

[Rbm60III]

exactly, and this Mariah STAN who's just hating on all her videos need some growing up to do. I like both MC and JJ but you can NOT compare the two. Mariah has always been known for being a singer, Jan for being a performer/entertainer. Honestly, I haven't paid much attention to Janet's music after the Velvet Rope album but I still love her music overall and she's still one of the best female entertainers out there.

[DSL89]

Janet's dancing is way better than her singing and she can carry a tune but thats about it.

[purdantan]

This Grammy performance is still better than most live performances of today. Janet rules!

[snowball1988]

agreed! you dont see stuff like this anymore its a shame

[meche182]

why aren't performances like this anymore?! HELLO?!

[soexcited25]

this is the shit
