[MrsBonnieLove]

[Amybear98]

She looks so much like Michael!!! <3

[TEERONI2394]

The best that ever done it!

[derlamtay]

Proof that you can do a music video without a gang of back up dancers, and not show all ur breast and thighs! Absolutely Beautiful!

[iSethCook]

OMG!

I love Janet sooo much. Icon, Legend, Queen, Goddess.

I just watched this for the first time (wishing I'd seen it sooner ;P) and I need to learn this choreography! It's flawless. I'm learning how to dance now and this is the kind of dancing I want to do... not the mainstream "dancing" we have now.

[TheaterNerd3298]

Do-do-do-do-do-do Madonna can't touch this! Do-do-do-do-do-do- STOP-JANET TIME!

[dwaynemartinez]

@TheaterNerd3298 thank yooooou say it again Madonna Whoooo lol

[584048]

THE REAL QUEEN OF POP <3

[27TaLisa]

I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH THIS VIDEO SENSE I WAS LITTLE!!!!! :)

[PurpleToilets]

#1 Female Dancer to touch this earth.

[therealraybaby]

#87(Tie)

[johanechou]

Best dancer women in the world

[makesa1993]

I wish I could turn back the clock! The 80s and 90s were the best. Now new skool honestly sucks to be honest.

[adrianko2001]

i so love her in this video

[MsRammified]

When this video first came out, I thought it was the epitome of a true dancer. It was raw and uninterrupted flow, It captured the love of dance. This video showed the release of aggression through song and dance. Still loves this video.. if you are comparing M.J to J.J then you done missed the boat with this video..

[anti00pop]

I love Janet. This is why in the early 90's she beat Diana Ross's record and still holds the most gold singles from a female artist and the ONLY artist to have 18 CONSECUTIVE top 10 hits. That's the way love goes is the most successful chart single from ANY member in Jackson family, she has the most soultrain awards and she also has the MOST Billboard Awards in history. She has 33! With a career spanning OVER 30 years, she is still in CONTROL. TV, music, movies, and concerts, Janet is the QUEEN!

[agreen61577]

Janet touched every dance move that was hot at the time...love this video especially when she does the cabbage patch and the whop....good times...

[Tigre01]

I love the dance move @ 4:10 <<-- Awesome!

[zecxixo]

late 80's and early 90's were the best years in any genre of art: Music, movies and etc! the best actors ! the best singers! I miss those days!

[evilzlatan]

werrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkk

[mygrinningsoul]

hellz ya...Janet killed it everytime..choreography is off da hook here...thank paula abdul and tina landon for much of her choreography though..but you gotz to have talent to dance like this...<3 ya JJ...

[naturaluv85]

@mygrinningsoul Actually Paula nor Tina choreographed this....

[zeevideo]

I used to watch this video about 20 times a day when it first came out! LOL Love the 80's!!!!!!! I'll be 40 in 3 years...

[TheoriginalPR1]

I actually like this song better than Rhythm Nation, to be honest.

[eritreangurrl]

I could never understand why some people would compare Madonna and Janet as dancers. Are they BLIND?? Janet's funky and kills it every time!

[heluvsme11]

My favorite JJ song!A Fan 4 Life From East St. Louis, IL!!!!!

[userfriendlynewmodel]

The true reason we have every modern female artist. And the companion to Madonna, without either we wouldn't have any of the modern female performers.

[reyestino01]

true talent!

[latoyafarley]

Watching dances and videos that I like.

LaToya Farley

[Renitamac]

I love watching this woman DANCE. This is a true dancer!

[ICEESWAG92]

Best thing was she wasn't showing too much body, no cleavage or nothing, she was in jeans and a tee shirt... Rockin it and still looked good. Natural beauty!

[ICEESWAG92]

Ima need a woman as cute and can sing and dance this.well... JANET IS TOO PRETTY! Lovin this video

[NickJonasJBFan1]

iconic video,amazing

[kdubb11]

she put Guess jeans on the map! lol

[bigvinamac]

Janet's body is bad here. And stop comparing Michael to Janet and vice versatile. They're both talented and legends so shut the fuck up.

[58dhart]

Janet hurt me with this......

[Nyfittedboi]

Why are these idiots on here putting sister against bro on here. Y'all seriously need to have _/

[lucinit1985]

Britney Spears' Stronger has similar dance moves with the chair, now i know where it came from!

[brittaniebordeux]

Doesn't this look like the same wearhouse Michael filmed Smooth Criminal???

[janethqvideos]

@brittaniebordeux no

[sweetnessnbk]

THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAV Janet song!!!  Janet doing the wop.... CLASSIC!! Kicks Major ass!

[MegaCollins100]

A timeless video...the moves were classic and she has so sharp!

[42LARK]

this is when i last liked janet.

[janethqvideos]

Janet work it out!

[TheJayBay123]

Everyone Michael didnt copy Janet and Janet didnt copy Michael. Michael said himself that him and janet think a lot. In his home videos he said one time he was thinking about using military style dancing and just has he put it together janet called and told him the same idea and being the big brother he is he let her have the idea.

[soulfulvee]

Ever since I saw this video, I've always wanted a house like this. I come home from work and get my dance on, LOL.

[cherubicnerd]

@soulfulvee that's cute.:p

[naturaluv85]

@MrRustyspot Call it what you want! The proof is in the videos! I love my Michael too, but when when, Janet hit it big, Michael ALSO got ideas from her! For example, Michael wrote Black or White because of Janet's Rhythm Nation! The producers that worked with Michael have said this! I could go on....

[sweetdream5866]

I remember I loved Janet's hair in this video.

[zychan13]

I love this, I am 14, and I feel SO sorry for my generation of music. >.<"

[nicksypixy]

love this

[jethrodassam]

JLo says this is her all time favorite video.

[Pllm30]

Guess jeans! I remember those. It must've driven Michael crazy though to see his sister biting off him even down to the tape on the fingers. 

[naturaluv85]

@Pllm30 You are freaking CRAZY, Michael didn't start doing some of the things in this video UNTIL his Bad era, which is AFTER Janet's Control Era. And that's including the tape on the fingers!!! GTFOH!!!

[MrRustyspot]

@naturaluv85 You're not suggesting that Michael Copied Janet. Are you?

[excaliba360]

@Pllm30 That's the baby the baby can do that and its no issue...Thats love

[XxLonelyRainnxX]

I love this video. Her dance moves scream 80's. It's fucking amazing.

[frankjissle]

I bet Jermaine had fun in that shat

[goraddy]

One of the greatest tracks EVER. Gotta love Janet!

[hotrodharris]

this is awsome...............

[hotrodharris]

this is the shittt... go janet....

[airis1983]

Great Janet! :) Miss the 90's!!

[RaymondV15]

can you guy bealive they have this video locked in the usa thats not cool! -__-

[Razielmn]

I'd love to stay 90's 4EVA! 

[TabataFreak]

Thumbs up if you think Beyonce &co got nothing on Janet or any girls from good ole 80-90's

[Cloak3791]

Janet always had that butt. Lol.

[skrapyard444]

@Cloak3791 and what a butt it is

[thenewagemulan]

So this is Cassie's inspiration for her 'Me & U' music video !

[mcruzgibson]

One of my favorites videos of al time. MJ & JJ are both the true icons of this business...

[HornGoddess08]

We learned about this yesterday in my college Psychology of Personality class. Not the song, but the term "pleasure principle"... lol It made me think of Janet, so, I had to come for a listen... :)

[tiggrnmary]

@HornGoddess08 wow ohk and wat was that class about if i may ask

[simon10177]

BRING BACK SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES. MY SISTERS AND THERE FRIENDS USE TO DO EVERY DANCE STEP.

[etemuru]

@simon10177 their friends...just sayin:)

[BlueEye1Guy2Be]

I just did this whole routine as my morning workout. In my mind.

[CaliGurlFAB24]

Lauren London brought me here!

[firehana]

she rocking those Guess Jeans!!

[dayg715]

this was the video that gave birth to Britney, Beyonce, Ciara, Rihanna, JLo, etc....

[RTCFH]

@dayg715 Exclude Rihanna from that. She can't dance!

[Lightner445555555555]

@dayg715 you're just trying to stir up stuff.

[yigginess]

@dayg715 and usher :)

[00tlowe]

@dayg715 Yes!!!! You are so right!

[knmlover]

@dayg715 I couldn't agree more

[fanatic709]

i was just thinkin about the state of r&b/rap music! a video w/out rhythmless video girls, cars & some "artist" talkin about what they've got/who they're better than. & they wonder why music sales are down. it's not just because it was easy 2 download illegally, ppl don't respect the artist anymore. they don't respect the audience. it's sad pure talent doesn't count 4 much & that goes 4 all genres!

[perryphd]

Janet does not remind me of Ciara. No one reminds me of Janet. Please. NO ONE tops JANET in this video. NOT A SINGLE FEMALE ARTIST. Not one female in the industry reminds me of Janet and her skills. Please. Janet is it. She is simply the BEST.



[mezzo1741]

A good song to listen to on a beautiful, sunny day along with 24-play and Runaway...

[cyborobin]

Best video from Janet ever!

[flip20felipe]

she's so young in this video....remind me Ciara ( who I love too)!!!!!!!!!!

She's AMAZING

[damaryruiz]

@flip20felipe Suck my dick.

[SirLunchbox8907]

Even though there is a lot of dancing in videos to this day, none of it compares to the dancers of Janet's era. Completely different aura.

[perryphd]

@SirLunchbox8907 You make sense to me! Jantology is what I understand, and that is the theory that she is THE BEST, especially for her to be timeless and excellent. Join me in my studies...the proof or evidence is this video.

[lovemedown1000]

i remember at 2:21 i would try to do tht

[SomerKnight]

Can't believe she was only 19yrs old...WOW. I was 16. Where did the years go

[iluvmyboba]

Always loved this song and it's video. Early Janet...there's nothing like it.

[AminaJamela]

When I first saw this video as a kid thatz when i knew I wanted to dance and been doing it ever since` ~ Thanks Janet for the inspiration!

[perryphd]

@AminaJamela I agree!

[kimmie6209]

When she snapped up at 1:51 that was AWESOME!

[BeautyRUSHXVII]

2:22 It if was me, i would have broke my stomach

[Bananpulver]

this video is addicting!

[Bananpulver]

that move at 0:37 is so cool

[Bananpulver]

1:43 so cute :)

[michaeljacbabe15]

Please stop comparing MJ to Janet, its a damn shame that nobody wants to give her credit for the things she's done. Janet's not where she is today because of Michael. Janet's where she is today because of JANET. point blank period.

[Lealonna]

She looks like so much to her brother Michael. Is like his female version.

[124sexylady]

Wow, janet was a grat dancer as well as a great singer..love this video..OH how i miss the 80's!!

[theslabbxxx]

I still Rock this song in my ride. Ahh the memories. Jan we are gettin old.  Luv ya still.

[bcunningham13946]

I love the music of the 80's and 90's.....this the video that made me fell in love with Janet!!!!!!

[Bananpulver]

i wish i was alive in the 80s, such a cool decade

[perryphd]

@Bananpulver I never thought about that. I loved my 80s and 90s. Wow.

[Bananpulver]

amazing video! she's such a good dancer

[Bananpulver]

stop comparing michael and janet, they are both amazing in their own ways

[essiusc]

@Bananpulver Yep! The Queen and the King!!

[Bananpulver]

@essiusc yes! :)

[WPTSUKS]

one of her best trax

[Gallygoy]

I LOOOVE this sooong ...i am just sayng ,this song is one of my favorite songs :)

[Kid1991Capri]

Janet is so smooth damn she know she got it going on

[theconsultantATL]

I still love me some Janet...That gul can dance...and it is true that you don't have to wear a bikini and shake your booty all in the camera to be popular.....!

[Blueheart91]

@magicpaint Janet = Michael and Michael = Janet There's NO POINT in comparing these two.....AGAINST each other because they BOTH DOMINATE THE UNIVERSE. None of today's so-called artists would exist with These Jacksons!

[24okay]

@Blueheart91 I dunno, Madonna had a nice run too.

[perryphd]

@24okay I like Madonna, but she is not Janet by any means. One was like a virgin, and one wanted to wait a while. One thought someone was a lucky star, and one thought about what was done for her lately. One is Madonna, and one is Ms. Jackson if you're nasty. Ummm. Madonna is good. She is very good. Janet in this video is still best.

[chiladin]

@Blueheart91 Not even Prince or Madonna?

[num1Jaysta]

@chiladin Well they count as MJ and Janets generation.

[num1Jaysta]

@michaeljacbabe15 Why are comparing them? The are family. If any of it is true they likely told or asked eachother before hand.

[perryphd]

@num1Jaysta Agreed!

[pdoll96]

@michaeljacbabe15 I don't think Michael needed to steal moves from anyone. You ever think he showed her some of HIS moves?

[michaeljacbabe15]

@pdoll96 dont know, and i really dont care. point im trying to make is that both janet and michael have gotten moves from each other. does that make any one of them better or worse than the other? no. they're both AMAZING entertainers. but people need to read up on their facts before complaining about who stole what from who.

[pdoll96]

@michaeljacbabe15 I don't even remember my comment so I don't really care either lol.

[beautifults1]

@janetfan09 right u got it right they get too offended and they know its the truth old school beats new school anyday.point blank period

[naturaluv85]

@cavstony Ok, I love Janet too, but you need to stop with the MJ hating crap!

[pickzkickz]

And that my friends and fellow current female superstars...is how it's done!

[Candylynnism]

Janet Jackson is da bomb, she knows how to keep it real!

[hunnie612]

By far one of my favorite Janet songs/videos!! Old school sexy...love it!!

[greendrama]

Everytime i see this amazing video and hear this song i time travel back to the carefree 80's. This is one of my fondest memories of those days.

[naturaluv85]

@200damary Then go watch his videos!

[Blueheart91]

First of all, everybody needs to stop with the "shouting" matches on here. Number one, NOBODY can hear you so calm down with the ALL CAPS BUTTON, for real. Emphasize, but don't trip. Second of all, Michael and Janet BOTH borrowed from each other (as ANY other siblings do) so ya'll need to fall back with the arguing over who did what first and who did what best. Either way, Michael AND Janet tops anything and everything "YOU," Dear Haters, can do. So just sit down, shut up and ENJOY THE MUSIC.

[naturaluv85]

@watked sorry, but even when britney's knee was ok, she still wasn't messing with Janet! Britney was WAY too stiff!

[naturaluv85]

@kenyancheena Deluded MJ fans will try to take credit away from Janet just to bring up Michael! I love both MJ and JJ, but delusional MJ fans have been flooding Janet's videos with their lies!

[200damary]

@naturaluv85 MJ is way better just saying

[naturaluv85]

@KatarraParson Rhythm Nation WAS NOT meant for Michael! Janet got that idea to a socially conscious aware album because of her experiences growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood and being in the streets of Minneapolis so she could see what was going on in the ghetto! I doubt that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were that highly influenced by Michael, but they were fans! Janet's music is different from Michael's!

[naturaluv85]

@xXeNaStOrMo0 THAT'S BULLSHIT! Michael did some of these moves AFTER Janet in his Bad Era videos! This is from Janet's Control album which was released BEFORE Bad! And Michael was NOT beatboxing on this. Janet recorded this in Minneapolis with NO Michael around! And Scream is a duet, and Michael is the one that wanted to collaborate! Janet's producers came up with Scream and Michael and Janet help co-write it!

[ridgewayfootball]

This is JJ at her absolute best...pure and innocent when she was still trying to PROVE herself and she NAILED it. Awesome video.

[seasonedtoserve]

Amazing. The best one ever I think. She can dance. I loved Janet back in the day. Still love her but she was @ her greatest then. No one like her

[kenyancheena]

@xXeNaStOrMo0

Scream was a song from one of Michael's albums. What are you trying to say?

[razfazberry]

this video should have @ least 10 million views....im appalled that real talent is being forgotten about!

[kja427]

Of all the tunes from The "Control" release, THIS is the best of the bunch. By the way, I have always thought that Janet was better than Michael. To me, she was more authentic; Michael was more pretentious. Hey, that's just me.

[naturaluv85]

@xXeNaStOrMo0 No he didn't! Michael NEVER helped Janet with her choreography OR music!

[cavstony]

@xXeNaStOrMo0 Michael has NEVER done a video like this. Sorry

[sxyblk28]

I dont give a d--- who helped her on the dance moves or wrote the song. She is SUPER SEXXXY on here and not one of the top female artists today have topped this video yet or even look this good. Its got style, class, and being sexy all rolled up into one; something females artists today dont seem to have

[janethqvideos]

@xXeNaStOrMo0 uh no

[ItsAlyssaYaDigg]

Every time I listen to this song or watch this video, I think about Janet on SNL jamming to this in the Janet concert skit. :)

[Allen2095]

@xXeNaStOrMo0 Actually, I believe Paula Abdul choreographed all the moves for this video.

[cavstony]

@Allen2095 I'm sorry that you believe that, but that is incorrect. This video was choreographed by Barry Lather. Paula only did 3 videos before Janet decided part ways.

[Allen2095]

@cavstony well, my bad, I was under the impression that it was Paula, but thank you for pointing out that it was not. I was mistaken. It was Barry.

[starcloza]

Janet got some badonkadonk



How does this only have a lil bit over 1 million views? smh
