I think it's important to distinguish between a choreographer and a dance instructor. Dance instructors teach you how to dance; choreographers develop and teach routines. Using a choreographer does not take away from anyone's natural dance ability. All the greats use them (Michael, Janet, Astaire, Kelly, Madonna, etc). I think anyone would be hard pressed to find an entertainer the does all of their own choreography. Of course they will have their own input. That's just par for the course.
U must have misunderstood my post,meaning if u have Michael Jackson as ur sibling to look up to and inspire you who is also the GREATEST entertainer in history,then u need to look no further as far as dancing is what im saying!
@bbozant Nah Paula didnt have anything to do with RN, she had her own music career to take control of, they were each others biggest competition in that 89-91 time
you cant teach some how to dance, dancing is something you're either born with or not. you can however, teach someone dance moves. that's all paula did for janet.
loving the divas! they amazing, Paula & Janet!... hell, they should surprise everyone and do a single and a hot choreographed video together!!!!... it would be such a huge thing if they do this now!!!!!
wow! both of them are epic dancers... i don't think one is better than the other. they are both legendary. i love this video! i saw this as a child and have been looking for it since. thank you for this!!!
but you're all forgetting THIS is what got Janet Jackson NOTICED for the first time. Paula Abdul....you cannot possibly deny that influence. The thrust and lift-off of Janet Jackson's success was "choreographed" by Paula Abdul.
janet learns very fast i love this dance by the way someday ima b lk her i was wondering if i look @ a lot of vids. by janet would i pick up where this dance came from
Well I just got finished watching Fame and she did her Dream Street and she did that same move the entire number. I love Janet just as much maybe even more than you ok don't get so offended! I'm entitled to my opinon just like you. I'm sure you know that move I'm referring to. If not you're not watching her.
@Nanadsyl Um Im not offended, I just disagree, and since you dont know me, Im pretty sure you cant tell if you love her more than I. This isnt a argument its a discussion, and yes I know what you mean, the sholder move, which was most of her routine in that era, but Im saying look up Fame Hot Times In the City Streets, Janet was dancing with the whole cast and was faster than most of the others. And check out Fame If the lady Wants To Play, she was dancing with 2 girls and slayed em both.
Janets dancing greatly improved after Paula began working with her. When Janet was on Fame she had this one annoying step that she did over and over. She didnt have much confidence when she was on Fame because of the stuff she was going throught with James DeBarge. By the time she did Pleasure Principal video she was flawless!!!
@Nanadsyl Im not getting that at all, On Fame she was 1 of the fastest dancers on the show when everybody had to dance, hell Debbie Allen herself said Janet was 1 of her faves because she could show Janet something and Janet would bring it to life perfectly. And there was no 1 dance on fame they did all types of dancing. Hell even on The Jacksons show when she was 9 she was tap dancing and 1 of the faster dancers. Paula gave her better moves, but she was a good dancer before Paula came.
Paula's Choreography did its purpose in 1986, and it did good, but almost none of it is used by Janet today, or in the 90's. Hell theres a interview on here of Janet preparing for the RN tour in 1990 and talking about how she thought the moves from Control seemed to dated for her at that point, and that was only 4 years after Paula.
I've known about Paula being a professional, but she earns a deeper respect from me after watching her instruction in this video. I do some dancing, I've taken classes, and I just get the sense that Paula was an encourager and created a very peaceful environment. Thanks for the video!
It's funny that Janet is looking rather fit in the rehersal for this video, and at the time of the shoot she was really big. How fast did she balloon out there?
People don't give Paula props for some reason! Paula did not teach Janet to dance but she influenced her dance style! Joe Jackson asked Paula to work with Janet because if you remembered Janet's previous 2 albums before Control, she barely danced! Paula taught some of her swag and moves to Janet. So people need to get their heads out the clouds because Janet had the God Given talent but sometimes it takes another person to bring that talent out more!
@memdiva I disagree, maybe its what your noticing on the comments to some of these vids, but I think Paula gets entirely too much credit seeing as how she gets called "the one who taught Janet to dance" where, as you've made clear thats not true, I Very much agree about Paula influencing her dance style, thats undeniable but I gotta disagree about her not getting enough credit, I personally think she gets more than she desserves, and yes she desserves credit,but not for "teaching Janet 2 dance"
@jarrylfo Well I am a professional dancer in L.A. and a huge Janet fan as well as a Paula fan (of her dancing)! So like I said, Paula didnt teach her to dance but she had a lot to do with developing Janet's style of dance. Paula single handly changed how the Laker girls style was, making them household name. She has done great choreography for all of the Jacksons and many more, movies, award shows etc. She is an amazing dancer and choreographer and doesnt get the credit that she deserves period!
@memdiva You know what I see what your saying, that Paula dosent get enough credit for her choreography as a whole, OK. I agree with it like that. But just not with Janet, like I said personally I think she gets entirely too much when it comes to Janet, And yes she had a huge influence on Janet but when you think about it so did Debbie Allen when she did fame, or MJ when they did the Jacksons show. But besides Janet, with all the grounds Paula has covered, I do agree she desserves more respect
@jarrylfo I love Debbie Allen as well! I was so disappointed when BET did the top 25 dancers of all time and they didnt mention Paula or Debbie's name! I respect all of these women I just named so much. They are the definition of true dancers, style, and technique. I just wish today's generation paid more attention to styles of dance like this aand real choreographers who wanted to bring out the very best in the artists they worked with!
@jarrylfo Paula is/was a professional choreographer. Janet was not, she was just one of the Jacksons. But as far as all the dancing Janet did during her breakout album's videos and stage performances, that's because of her choreographer. I'm not sure why people need to muddle the facts.
@DigitalJediMaster No she didnt,Paula only choregraphed 3 videos & a handful of the live performances that era.The moves Janet did in that era she hasnt really done since, with the exception of Nasty. But besides that 1 routine,none of the moves Paula choreographed are used by Janet today.I mean yea Paula did a good job, but look at Janet perform the dance routines from Rhythm Nation, janet. & Velvet Rope, its the exact same routines from the videos. Unlike 2 of the 3 videos Paula choreographed
@jarrylfo I have my doubts as to whether it was only three, but either way, that has nothing to do with anything I said. Paula was a part of the Control era. Janet's breakthrough album. And not just a little part, but creator of moves she was known for at that time, and even now. Whether or not she actually does those dances now is irrelevant to fact that Paula was an important part of Janet's history. That's a balanced, factual assessment.
@DigitalJediMaster I promise you it was 3, and I got that from Paula's mouth, she said before she worked for Janet,Jimmy Jam gave her a tape with 3 Janet songs on it,and those were the 3 she did videos for,plus some of the award show performances.And my point was you said Paula created the moves Janet is most known for,and my point is not hardly, she didnt choregraph RN, Miss You Much, If, or Pleasure Principle.The moves she created for Control were great for that era,but most never went past it
@memdiva Paula did not teach Janet how to dance, that would be like saying that the choreographer from Thriller taught Michael how to dance. Paula was paid to be a choreographer not a dance teacher. I wish ppl will stop saying stupid shit like this, it makes there ass look stupid.
@luv4uification first of all you are making your own damn self look stupid! Since you are trying to go off on me! Why dont you read all of what I wrote? I NEVER said Paula taught Janet how to dance. I said influenced her style through her choreography. I am a professional dancer & choreographer myself so I know how it works. I dont need no feedback from the likes of you! True enough, either you can dance or you cant but a good teacher can bring the best out now as you were! Talk to someone else!
@memdiva i still think paula had a great impact in janets career when it comes to her coming out as a superstar, and i think janet had a great impact on paula for her to come out as a superstar herself
@memdiva VERY TRUE ..I LOVE PAULA AS MUCH AS JANETS...THE LONG STANDING ISSUES WERE ABOUT THERE WOMANISING BROTHERS...AND FAMILY WILL PIX UP FOR EACH OTHER...PAULA WAS CAUGHT UP..AND HAD TO PROTECT HERSELF...SHE AND JANET TODAY ARE NONE THE WISER ABOUT CHEATING MEN!!!!
@memdiva Very well put! Paula did bring her tech style to Janet during the launch of her career. The two worked very well together and many of the tech moves developed between the two are still used today.
I wouldn't say Paula was a Godsend, but people forget during the 80s Paula Abdul made huge contributions to music videos. What Paula did was mix technical dance with street dance and it just so happen Janet Jackson was the perfect performer to take on Paula's style. If you take a serious look at "When I think of you" you will see there are only 4 breaks in the entire video that is straight and continious dance sequences. Janet had the talent and Paula had the vision don't see the problem.
People kill me when they act like Paula was a godsend. She did like FOUR videos...and they're not even Janet's most memorable or ones that really defined her career. Go up to a Janet fan and tell them to do choreography from one of those videos...they'll probably show you no more than three moves. Now ask them to show you something from a video on "Rhythm Nation" project, the "janet." album, or "The Velvet Rope"...then they'll do a whole routine for you. You don't TEACH a person to dance!!
@charmedvirgoslayer I agree 300% with that right there, and your right, Paula just did 3 videos & 4 performances. And the video most known for the dancing in that era, she didnt even have anything to do with, Pleasure Principle. The 2 best things Paula choreographed for Janet was Nasty & the Grammy performance. The rest didnt even make it to her tours in the 90s. IDK where people got this idea that Janet had 2 left feet before Paula came into the picture, thers tons of vids disproving that
i'm sorry but i don't get what you're tryin to say. You don't teach a person to dance? Some ppl have a god-given talent but anybody can be taught 2 do just about anything if they have the motivation to learn - sing, play piano, dance, etc. I don't think anybody is sayin that Paula is a godsend, but i agree wit memdiva in that Paula is not given enuf props. I'm a Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson fan and I can't deny that Janet's dancing greatly improved with Paula's coaching.
@violetstorm45 You DON'T teach a person to dance; dancing is a natural ability. You can show a person technique and you can choreograph moves, but all of that doesn't mean a thing if they don't possess that talent. You cannot honestly tell me you have never seen an entertainer do choreography and they just do not look right doing it; maybe they look stiff, or some choreographers will make the moves very simple. You can look at footage of Janet on the Jackson variety show and see that talent.
@violetstorm45 (cont'd) I'll give you an example: Tina Landon (a wonderful choreographer, who choreographed for Janet--of course u know that--Michael and Janet in "Scream", hip-hop videos, Britney Spears, and a number of others) was a choreographer for Rihanna. This great choreographer cannot teach Rihanna to dance if her life depended on it; Tina even said that she makes dance moves simple, so Rihanna can look good doing it. She also said that she could show Janet anything and she could do it
@violetstorm45 In reference to your comment about no one saying Paula is a godsend, saying that Janet could not dance until Paula became her choreographer is basically saying she is; I read many comments b4 posting mines. I never denied the contribution Paula made to the "Control" project & to the take off of Janet's career, but I will say her choreography is not as epic as the that from the RN project or "Janet" project. The pros even talked about how difficult the choreography was on those.
i want paula as my dance teacher!!! she is AMAZING!! i am 12 and i love paula cher michael and everyone from back then.. all of the legends... paula is amazing!!!!!
I don't understood ppl who popped out in the 90's & think they know everything about the Jackson, just because they read it on a wall & be"LIE"ve it's true. Read between the line guys, the Jackson siblings were shaking there Groove thing 2 the beat since the 60's long b4 Paula, Tina & the rest were even thought of. They were born w/Rhythm, especially MJ & JJ when u can Tap, Swing & Jitterbug anything else is like butter "SMOOTH. The Chore' just help taught them the latest moves, BUT not 2 DANCE!
@misumike25 I agree with you. Everyone wants to give other people credit for the hard work that the Jacksons did. Janet and the rest of her siblings already knew how to dance. The were natural dancers which was why it was so easy for them to pick up dance steps from choreographers. ALL musicians hire choreographers to put together routines for different songs, videos, concerts. That doesn't mean they don't contribute to their own dancing. They just don't have the time to do all those things.
@misumike25 Also they've never read old interviews or books on the Jacksons either. Jackie & Rebbie are the 2 eldest and would enter and win dance contests all the time when they were little. They are naturally gifted, save one, with musical abilities. These young "know-it-alls" need to take a step back, do real research and learn what real talent is. Not the manufactured "talent" like Justin Bieber.
@AngelsInTheMist2011 Amen! Experience is a good teacher. The comments on the tube about any of the Jacksons gift & their ability 2 perform from scratch in Negativity talk, I'm sure r from a younger generation who haven't done their homework getting & knowing the fact about this Phenomenal family. Others who bash r just envious of them cause they r the Jacksons. Ppl who grew up w/M.J. & J.J. have witness their talent knows the truth, they r not new 2 the game but had a hand in REVOLUTIONIZING it.
Gil Duldulao was a back-up dancer for Janet since the " janet" tour ( I think ) , and Gil choreographed Janet's last 4 albums ( Damita Jo, 20 Y.O., Discipline and Number Ones ) and he is the MAIN choregrapher but he is also collaberating with other choregraphers to keep the dances fresh and new. It's a " good recipe "...I think her fans are very happy w/ her music and her choreography to her videos and concerts.
Even though Janet changes choreographers, SHE STILL adds her own styles of dance in addition to what the choreographers bring in. She worked with Choreographers Anthony Thomas on Rhythm Nation, Tina Landon on 2 albums ( janet and The Velvet Rope ) Shawnettte Heard on the " All For You " album ( Tina and Shawnette were backup dancers when Paula was Janet's choregrapher for the Control album )
A Lot of people always ask " Why didn't Janet work longer with Paula " and Janet will say, and this makes total sense... She would always get new choreopraphers with each project so she wouldn't have the same" style" all the time. Paula Abdul has her own style of dancing and you can see it in HER videos...With Janet changing choreographers, she was ALWAYS on top with new moves.
Dancing is a naturally born talent that the Jacksons have. I was watching some old clips on youtube of Janet dancing when she performed with her older siblings on the Jackson's Variety show. She was dancing like a natural and the dance moves seemed so easy to her. I think at that time she was around 10 - 12 years old.
@Cloak3791 Ya some people cant accept that. She's as much of a "trained" dancer and natural dancer as Michael. They both were dancing all their lives and started dancing off old movies and TV performances.
@padfoot92 That would be YOUR opinion, wheres video's like Nasty, Pleasure Principle, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, & If definately say otherwise. Her speed and precision was just as in tact and demanded from the other dancers as his, the only thing he had over Janet and most people was the speed, but if someone actually studied both of their dancing, they cant be compared because he's never really done all the dances she's done and vise versa
Janet is a trained dancer. She wasn't a good dance prior to being choreographed by Paula Abdul, Tina Landon and others. But always did have rhythm so it makes her moves look more natural.
@stayrussh Um no, Janet was always a good dancer, that never stopped, Paula just upped the amount. Even on the Jacksons show she was a much better dancer than most of her siblings. And she proved that on Fame too. And shes one of the few artist that (like MJ) she never let the choreographer make up an entire routine, she always put in her own moves and ideas too, so she's not 1 of those performers who has someone come up with a entire routine and then does it. Thats a trained dancer
@jarrylfo Stop lying to yourself. You know damn well that Janet can't dance outside of choreography. All she did was rock her shoulders prior to hiring choreographers to teach her routines. She IS a trained dancer. Even Janet will tell you that.
@stayrussh CLEARLY your the one lying to yourself. And how would Janet "tell me that" when she and everybody in her family said she was dancing from the age of 7 and always had natural rhythm? You obviously dont have a clue what your talking about, and are making yourself sound stupid by saying "all she did was rock her sholders before hireing choreographers" If you actually saw her performances on The Jacksons show and Fame, you'd see how stupid that statement is, So why dont you stop lying.
@MizMariah1 Ya I dont blame you, it took me a sec to analize too (I thought it was Nasty or "Lately" until I watched the dance breakdown at the end of the When I think of you video and its EXACTLY this, but certain steps she did for Nasty too. So its a lil confusing for anyone at 1st
@DonLouiVer Ummm have you seen Fame? Or the Jacksons show in the 70's? Janet was 1 of the best dancers on both. You CANT "teach" that kind of rhythm that Janet or Michael had, its something your born with that other people can bring out. And thats just what Paula did, she brought it out. But Janet was a dancer 10 yrs before Paula came into the picture and she was good, but Paula helped her get better, thats the credit I give Paula, but she didnt teach her to dance...
@DonLouiVer u cant just make someone a great dancer they have to have potential and janet must love dancing since shes great at it and paula only trained janet for a few years and when the 90's came that when the really hot dance moves came in n paula was not training her in the 90's
Paula Abdul Actually choreograph a lot of Janet Jackson Moves in the 1980's Before She became a artist. She even did "Pleasure Principle" Which was amazon.
@WWEOfficialHomePage Actually Paula had nothing to do with Pleasure Principle that was Barry Lather (tho he says Janet came up with most of the moves herself as well). But Paula did What have you done for me lately, Nasty, When I think of you, & Control. Paula also choreographed, all of her award show performances in 87. But she didnt have anything to do with Pleasure Principle, Im sure by the time that was being done Paula was at work on her 1st album when Janet did that one.
@jarrylfo I remember Paula Saying she helped her a bite with the moves,She said she was proud to see some of the moves.But its your video so my comment was my opinion.
@WWEOfficialHomePage Im jus saying I heard Paula correct folks who included Pleasure Principle in the videos she choreographed (in fact the very 1st time I learned that myself is through her correcting someone on the radio). Maybe she taught Janet a few things that she used for that video, but she wasnt the choreographer of it
Amazing.. Yes, a lot of ppl don't realize that Paula taught Janet a lot of her moves back then. Wow Paula is beautiful here, Janet Beautiful still to this day.
Oh Paula Abdul is great example of how you should dance. She was janet's inspiration. Too bad her singing career ended so soon. She was really not bad singer
Paula Abdul's connection with the Jackson family started way before this, in 1971. She was contracted by Berry Gordy to choreograph Jackson 5 from their first hits. All those hits such as "I Want You Back", "ABC" where choreographed by Paula. And she was only around 18 or 19 years old at the time!
@13ewf Um where did you here that? It is so untrue. Suzanne Depasse who was 18 or 19 at the time whom Mr. Gordy somewhat made responsible of the boys appearance style/look wardrobe PR etc. Choregraphed early routines along with the brothers themselves whom choregraphed a lot of their own stuff throughout the 70's.
@13ewf No worries mistakes happen to the best of us. Paula's first time choreographing for the brothers was during the 80's for their video "Torture."
Paula and Janet, in my opinion, are the best female performers ever. They acually both had/have talent to share. And both of them put in so much hard work. Unlike some performers today who go up on stage half naked and just walk around.
this was Janet's first album with actual choreographed steps so of course she isn't a trained dancer and will need someone to choreograph for her. but later on with Rhythm Nation, Janet., Velvet Rope etc, Janet had more experience and put more of her own ideas into her work. She's still awesome!
These are the two ladies who made me want to become a dancer....and after 17 years of performing, I'm finally getting paid to do so. Thanks to these two for a wonderful inspiration. I'd LOVE a lesson from Paula!
@QUEENKIM4EVER Lol, I understood, I was agreeing with you!

But just not with Janet, like I said personally I think she gets entirely too much when it comes to Janet, And yes she had a huge influence on Janet but when you think about it so did Debbie Allen when she did fame, or MJ when they did the Jacksons show. But besides Janet, with all the grounds Paula has covered, I do agree she desserves more respect
jarrylfo 4 months ago
@jarrylfo I love Debbie Allen as well! I was so disappointed when BET did the top 25 dancers of all time and they didnt mention Paula or Debbie's name! I respect all of these women I just named so much. They are the definition of true dancers, style, and technique. I just wish today's generation paid more attention to styles of dance like this aand real choreographers who wanted to bring out the very best in the artists they worked with!

@jarrylfo Paula is/was a professional choreographer. Janet was not, she was just one of the Jacksons. But as far as all the dancing Janet did during her breakout album's videos and stage performances, that's because of her choreographer. I'm not sure why people need to muddle the facts.

DigitalJediMaster 3 months ago
@DigitalJediMaster No she didnt,Paula only choregraphed 3 videos & a handful of the live performances that era.The moves Janet did in that era she hasnt really done since, with the exception of Nasty. But besides that 1 routine,none of the moves Paula choreographed are used by Janet today.I mean yea Paula did a good job, but look at Janet perform the dance routines from Rhythm Nation, janet. & Velvet Rope, its the exact same routines from the videos. Unlike 2 of the 3 videos Paula choreographed
jarrylfo 3 months ago
@jarrylfo I have my doubts as to whether it was only three, but either way, that has nothing to do with anything I said. Paula was a part of the Control era. Janet's breakthrough album. And not just a little part, but creator of moves she was known for at that time, and even now. Whether or not she actually does those dances now is irrelevant to fact that Paula was an important part of Janet's history. That's a balanced, factual assessment.
DigitalJediMaster 3 months ago
@DigitalJediMaster I promise you it was 3, and I got that from Paula's mouth, she said before she worked for Janet,Jimmy Jam gave her a tape with 3 Janet songs on it,and those were the 3 she did videos for,plus some of the award show performances.And my point was you said Paula created the moves Janet is most known for,and my point is not hardly, she didnt choregraph RN, Miss You Much, If, or Pleasure Principle.The moves she created for Control were great for that era,but most never went past it

I wouldn't say Paula was a Godsend, but people forget during the 80s Paula Abdul made huge contributions to music videos. What Paula did was mix technical dance with street dance and it just so happen Janet Jackson was the perfect performer to take on Paula's style. If you take a serious look at "When I think of you" you will see there are only 4 breaks in the entire video that is straight and continious dance sequences. Janet had the talent and Paula had the vision don't see the problem.

People kill me when they act like Paula was a godsend. She did like FOUR videos...and they're not even Janet's most memorable or ones that really defined her career. Go up to a Janet fan and tell them to do choreography from one of those videos...they'll probably show you no more than three moves. Now ask them to show you something from a video on "Rhythm Nation" project, the "janet." album, or "The Velvet Rope"...then they'll do a whole routine for you. You don't TEACH a person to dance!!
charmedvirgoslayer 5 months ago 2
@charmedvirgoslayer I agree 300% with that right there, and your right, Paula just did 3 videos & 4 performances. And the video most known for the dancing in that era, she didnt even have anything to do with, Pleasure Principle. The 2 best things Paula choreographed for Janet was Nasty & the Grammy performance. The rest didnt even make it to her tours in the 90s. IDK where people got this idea that Janet had 2 left feet before Paula came into the picture, thers tons of vids disproving that

I'm a Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson fan and I can't deny that Janet's dancing greatly improved with Paula's coaching.
violetstorm45 2 months ago in playlist violetstorm45's favorites
@violetstorm45 You DON'T teach a person to dance; dancing is a natural ability. You can show a person technique and you can choreograph moves, but all of that doesn't mean a thing if they don't possess that talent. You cannot honestly tell me you have never seen an entertainer do choreography and they just do not look right doing it; maybe they look stiff, or some choreographers will make the moves very simple. You can look at footage of Janet on the Jackson variety show and see that talent.
charmedvirgoslayer 2 months ago
@violetstorm45 (cont'd) I'll give you an example: Tina Landon (a wonderful choreographer, who choreographed for Janet--of course u know that--Michael and Janet in "Scream", hip-hop videos, Britney Spears, and a number of others) was a choreographer for Rihanna. This great choreographer cannot teach Rihanna to dance if her life depended on it; Tina even said that she makes dance moves simple, so Rihanna can look good doing it. She also said that she could show Janet anything and she could do it

dbarroga 2 months ago
@violetstorm45 In reference to your comment about no one saying Paula is a godsend, saying that Janet could not dance until Paula became her choreographer is basically saying she is; I read many comments b4 posting mines. I never denied the contribution Paula made to the "Control" project & to the take off of Janet's career, but I will say her choreography is not as epic as the that from the RN project or "Janet" project. The pros even talked about how difficult the choreography was on those.

I don't understood ppl who popped out in the 90's & think they know everything about the Jackson, just because they read it on a wall & be"LIE"ve it's true. Read between the line guys, the Jackson siblings were shaking there Groove thing 2 the beat since the 60's long b4 Paula, Tina & the rest were even thought of. They were born w/Rhythm, especially MJ & JJ when u can Tap, Swing & Jitterbug anything else is like butter "SMOOTH. The Chore' just help taught them the latest moves, BUT not 2 DANCE!
misumike25 6 months ago
@misumike25 I agree with you. Everyone wants to give other people credit for the hard work that the Jacksons did. Janet and the rest of her siblings already knew how to dance. The were natural dancers which was why it was so easy for them to pick up dance steps from choreographers. ALL musicians hire choreographers to put together routines for different songs, videos, concerts. That doesn't mean they don't contribute to their own dancing. They just don't have the time to do all those things.
AngelsInTheMist2011 5 months ago
@misumike25 Also they've never read old interviews or books on the Jacksons either. Jackie & Rebbie are the 2 eldest and would enter and win dance contests all the time when they were little. They are naturally gifted, save one, with musical abilities. These young "know-it-alls" need to take a step back, do real research and learn what real talent is. Not the manufactured "talent" like Justin Bieber.
AngelsInTheMist2011 5 months ago
@AngelsInTheMist2011 Amen! Experience is a good teacher. The comments on the tube about any of the Jacksons gift & their ability 2 perform from scratch in Negativity talk, I'm sure r from a younger generation who haven't done their homework getting & knowing the fact about this Phenomenal family. Others who bash r just envious of them cause they r the Jacksons. Ppl who grew up w/M.J. & J.J. have witness their talent knows the truth, they r not new 2 the game but had a hand in REVOLUTIONIZING it.

Gil Duldulao was a back-up dancer for Janet since the " janet" tour ( I think ) , and Gil choreographed Janet's last 4 albums ( Damita Jo, 20 Y.O., Discipline and Number Ones ) and he is the MAIN choregrapher but he is also collaberating with other choregraphers to keep the dances fresh and new. It's a " good recipe "...I think her fans are very happy w/ her music and her choreography to her videos and concerts.
StRick1013 6 months ago
Even though Janet changes choreographers, SHE STILL adds her own styles of dance in addition to what the choreographers bring in. She worked with Choreographers Anthony Thomas on Rhythm Nation, Tina Landon on 2 albums ( janet and The Velvet Rope ) Shawnettte Heard on the " All For You " album ( Tina and Shawnette were backup dancers when Paula was Janet's choregrapher for the Control album )
StRick1013 6 months ago
A Lot of people always ask " Why didn't Janet work longer with Paula " and Janet will say, and this makes total sense... She would always get new choreopraphers with each project so she wouldn't have the same" style" all the time. Paula Abdul has her own style of dancing and you can see it in HER videos...With Janet changing choreographers, she was ALWAYS on top with new moves.

Dancing is a naturally born talent that the Jacksons have. I was watching some old clips on youtube of Janet dancing when she performed with her older siblings on the Jackson's Variety show. She was dancing like a natural and the dance moves seemed so easy to her. I think at that time she was around 10 - 12 years old.
Cloak3791 9 months ago 2

@padfoot92 That would be YOUR opinion, wheres video's like Nasty, Pleasure Principle, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, & If definately say otherwise. Her speed and precision was just as in tact and demanded from the other dancers as his, the only thing he had over Janet and most people was the speed, but if someone actually studied both of their dancing, they cant be compared because he's never really done all the dances she's done and vise versa

MJ was born to this dance.
Janet is a trained dancer. She wasn't a good dance prior to being choreographed by Paula Abdul, Tina Landon and others. But always did have rhythm so it makes her moves look more natural.
stayrussh 9 months ago
@stayrussh Um no, Janet was always a good dancer, that never stopped, Paula just upped the amount. Even on the Jacksons show she was a much better dancer than most of her siblings. And she proved that on Fame too. And shes one of the few artist that (like MJ) she never let the choreographer make up an entire routine, she always put in her own moves and ideas too, so she's not 1 of those performers who has someone come up with a entire routine and then does it. Thats a trained dancer
jarrylfo 9 months ago 3
@jarrylfo Stop lying to yourself. You know damn well that Janet can't dance outside of choreography. All she did was rock her shoulders prior to hiring choreographers to teach her routines. She IS a trained dancer. Even Janet will tell you that.
stayrussh 9 months ago
@stayrussh CLEARLY your the one lying to yourself. And how would Janet "tell me that" when she and everybody in her family said she was dancing from the age of 7 and always had natural rhythm? You obviously dont have a clue what your talking about, and are making yourself sound stupid by saying "all she did was rock her sholders before hireing choreographers" If you actually saw her performances on The Jacksons show and Fame, you'd see how stupid that statement is, So why dont you stop lying.

@WWEOfficialHomePage Actually Paula had nothing to do with Pleasure Principle that was Barry Lather (tho he says Janet came up with most of the moves herself as well). But Paula did What have you done for me lately, Nasty, When I think of you, & Control. Paula also choreographed, all of her award show performances in 87. But she didnt have anything to do with Pleasure Principle, Im sure by the time that was being done Paula was at work on her 1st album when Janet did that one.

Paula Abdul's connection with the Jackson family started way before this, in 1971. She was contracted by Berry Gordy to choreograph Jackson 5 from their first hits. All those hits such as "I Want You Back", "ABC" where choreographed by Paula. And she was only around 18 or 19 years old at the time!
13ewf 1 year ago
@13ewf Um where did you here that? It is so untrue. Suzanne Depasse who was 18 or 19 at the time whom Mr. Gordy somewhat made responsible of the boys appearance style/look wardrobe PR etc. Choregraphed early routines along with the brothers themselves whom choregraphed a lot of their own stuff throughout the 70's.
