kissing her along the sensative areas of her anotomy,causing impulses of passion to accelerate the antencipation of whats coming next, I began to feel her as she begin to yield more and more to my erotic jestures,and then..and then..and then..the CD stopped -
I agree Janet would have done much better as dorothy not to take anything away from halle but janet just seems much better and she favors her real well I LOVE this video the classic vintage is amazing and I am a big fan of marylin and Dorothy great loves it!
yes i totally agree janet was perfect for this role she favored dorthy dandridge and i bet if she did play this role she would have won an award for this inspiring movie
I wish Janet had played Dorothy in a move instead of Halle, Janet was the first to mention playing Dorothy, she looked like Dorothy and would have given us a sympathetic portrayal instead of turning Dorothy into a pathetic figure the way Halles film did!

Janet was trying to prove herself to be a Dorothy Dandrige so she could get the role for the Dorothy Dandrige story by HBO. Thank goodness that Hallie Berry got the part because she was more of a Dorothy than Janet.
That's an excellent thought, a good way of seeing things. Would you happen to know what album this comes from? Really nice. I will probably wind up exploring Janet, uh-hum, more now.
IMO, this is the epitome of 1990s janet. the song was underappreciated and overshadowed by the inferior "runaway" when it came out, but it's truly a masterpiece, and so is the video. she looks strikingly beautiful and the song is one of her best R&B jams ever, if not the best. lovely. the only thing missing is a dance breakdown, but that wouldn't very well fit with the video would it?
Twenty Foreplay is MUCH better than Runaway. But it's all good, I find that with time, more people appreciate Twenty Foreplay...and I hope she gives us a live performance of this song soon!
janet jackson is a beautiful woman, but i think the best actress portrayed dorothy dandridge and that was halle berry. and pearl bailey and queen latifah really favor. dont you agree?
I love the re-mix of this song on Janet's Decade album. Nice tribute video. I love how Janet went to France to Film some of the scenes - the legendary Cannes' Carlton Hotel.
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs
Janet looks so timelessly beautiful when she is covered. She is so talented. I've watched her videos over the years. She is so talented. That's y I can't understand y she had to appear naked on her album cover and dance lik she's having sex. Damn shame!!!!!!!
this amazin song and i have to say that i'm fallin in love with janet jackson and song of hers also for all haters you can kick rocks that's real shit!!!
This is one of my all time favorit songs and videos. Janet put her foot into this, its really cool how she gave tributes to Dorthy and Marilyn, this is one of those videos I can watch over and over again, thats that stuff.
I don't care people say, but janet is a BEAUTIFUL woman. You can keep your beyonce's, britney's, madonna's, and whoever else falls within that space of thinking they are better than Janet. Queen of R&B/Pop
I think Thandie Newton would have made a great Dorothy Dandridge. JJ looked more like her during her Different Strokes and Fame days when she was about 16- 18 years old. After that, no.
I thought Halle did an excellent job playing Dorothy Dandridge. I'm sure Janet would have done a good job too. But hey that's Hollywood. Rae Dawn Chong was supposed to play Justice in Poetic Justice but John Single said she wasn't black enough, at least that's what I heard.
rae dawn chong was originally considered for the role of charlen duprey on different strokes but they instead went with janet because she looked more ethnic than rae....rae is biracial also the daughter of (i forget his first name) chong of cheech and chong fame. the same producers/directors that worked on different strokes were also on good times so i see why they went with janet. also john went to high school with janet and always had her in mind to play justice.
From my understanding she is playing Dorothy Dandridge. This video came out back in 1996, and Janet did the video as a tribute to Dorothy because she wanted to do her autobiography. At the time Janet, Halle, and Whitney were trying to get their Dorothy Dandridge projects off the ground. As we all know Halle beat everyone to the punch.
Which sucks, cause Janet was the first one who mentioned her admiration for Dorothy [publicly]. Than all them other hoes came in. lol J/k, not hoes. But still.
And Janet was going to play LENA HORNE in 2003, she was filming the movie. But after the Superbowl controversy, Lena said she didn't want Janet to play her anymore. God stupid...
She isn't doing Dorothy anymore. That was a decade and a half ago. lol But she says she'd like to play Eartha Kitt, and Eartha actually liked the idea! (the script for the film is already written, even). Hopefully no more skallywags won't come out from the wig crypt and *all of a sudden* want to play Eartha Kitt. lol
OMG. I love this song & video... Janet just goes to show that u don't need a voice like Aretha to be a great artist. Does anyone else think at 4:08 Janet looks just DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, she looks beautiful throughout the video but at that moment she looks... INCREDIBLE.
well janet wanted to play dorothy dandridge but they gave it to halle...this is the what she did to prove she would have done a great job...plus halle couldn't sing i do think she would do a great job at playing lena horne!
Actually, this video came out years before Halle Berry played Dorothy. And they didn't "give it to Halle". Halle Berry produced "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" herself. She even spent close to $200,000 out of her own pocket in order to film a scene that didn't fit into the budget. Janet Jackson is a good musical artist, but she's not a good actress and would never have been able to portray Dorothy even half as great as Halle did.
first of all dats pure bullshit cuz janets been acting way longer then halle and she does a damn good job of it. but thats just ur opinion, so in the words of janet "It Doesn't Really Matter."
She may have begun acting before Halle did, but Halle has done a significant amount of more work. Janet has about 8 credits under her belt, whereas, Halle has over 40. Also, how many acting awards has Janet won? Oh, that's right. She won 1 award. It was a Razzie Award for WORST ACTRESS. And if "It Doesn't Really Matter", don't respond to my comments.

i couldnt agree more. halle berry and dorothy dandridge has more of a resemblance. they were both fine boned, same size and color. halle is just a spitting image of dorothy dandridge hands down.
Janet's actually was inspired by DOROTHY DANDRIDGE I can't believe some people didn't know that. She clearly is capturing Dorothy's image and look and NOT Marilyn Monroe who by the way wasn't close as talented as Danridge.
halle turned it as dorothy, but janet would have done a better job because she looks more like dorothy than halle. and youre right, jeminijemini, nobody was thinking about dorothy dandridge until janet mentioned her. thats probably why halle did that movie so quick, because janet was getting closer to playing the part.
when halle hurried up and bought the rights to a dorothy dandridge biography......janet felt that she was not in a race to do the project....janet has so much class in my opinion
when halle is "all done up" in makeup and hair and with certain costumes she looks like dorothy but janet naturally looks like dorothy dandridge. you have to look at the various pictures of dorothy and you will see it. there was talk of janet portraying her back during the rhythm nation days but when janet started talking about publicly every female entertainer all of a sudden wanted to play her.
She didn't blew anything. Lena Horne was too much of a hypocrite to see past that incident (the media making a black woman the scapegoat of an event that included another person, a white man) and didn't want to be associated with that. Too bad. Now look at her, no movie, no nothing. I didn't even know who she was until I found out Janet was playing her, and it was than that I became interested. Now no one will see her in a biopic because shes too pompous.
Gorgeous video. I LOVE Carmen Jones! Too bad they made Dorothy Dandridge peein a cut back in the day...they wouldn't let her use the restroom cause she was black.
No other person could've played Dorothy Dandridge better than Halle Berry. Janet doesn't come close, not even in resemblance, IMO. Besides after poetic justice I gave up on janet and acting. Nice video though.
i think janet looks a lot like dorothy dandridge, especially when dd was in carmen jones. i can picture her playing dorothy, especially her early days singing and dancing with the nicholas brothers. but it was part of halle's destiny.
No, this person did that themselves. She was paying tribute to Dorothy only. This extended remix was not made for the video, so 24play "filled in the blanks"

wow, this remx is truly better than the original. the last half doesn't have that porn soundtrack feel to it. janet is gorgeous, btw.

No, this person did that themselves. She was paying tribute to Dorothy only. This extended remix was not made for the video, so 24play "filled in the blanks"

Nice video but she can't even compare to the real Dorothy Dandridge.
