Check out the violin played right from 2:40 till the end. For those who don't know, Vanessa Mae was the violin performer. One of the truly magical elements of this song is Mae's expressiveness and sensuality she tries to pass through her exquisite playing.
Congratulations to both Janet and Vanessa, for reminding us what quality music is all about. People who have such artists as the two of them as idols will definitely succeed. Not the same for those attracted to Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber.
what song is most of this video clipping from? like when she is in a car looking out the window and the butterfly is flying through the apartment. what video is that?
Humans Have A need And Every Human Has A Velvet Rope People Need To Understand That You Cant just Judge People of What they Are or Who they Become(Thumbs Up)
My favorite album by Janet... Listen, really listen to the words she sings...
This is why she is loved. This is why she continues to be seen as a 'threat'. They can't stand the truth she brings in lives of millions of people and the deep emotional and spiritual connection she withstands with them... You know? This woman is DEEP. Very DEEP. Her words actually have meaning and HELP people to concquer all their demons.
Ps I just finished her book - I highly recommend it READ IT!!!! TRUE YOU!
Oh, sure. Janet "used" to be hot, like Lady GaGa "is" hot right now?
Janet Jackson, "was" hot, "is" hot and will "continue" to be red hot for as long as she's alive. This Woman set the standard, remember. A bar that to this day has not been raised by any Female artists on record - anywhere in the world.
She is quintessentially, quintessential. The absolute pinnacle of Female musical production.
Janet's, only real competition over the years, came from none other than Whitney Houston.
The album version is amazing, it features a chillingly beautiful voilin solo by Vanessa Mae.This version cuts it off at 3:45. The Veltet Rope is a masterpiece. Hoping Janets new 2011 tour comes to the UK.
I love the Velvet Rope album so much. I was listening to it last night and reading the lyrics. I honestly think Janet was the best in the whole family.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! THIS SONG MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! ALL THE CLIPS AND PICTURES WITH THE SONG ARE AMAZING! This is my favorite song of all time. On my profile you'll see it on my quotes! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Thats a respectful comment and its easy to feel like that by just listening to the song and watching the video. The true beauty of this performance is felt at her concert, where she puts the song to life. The Velvet Rope was an amazing album and the concert was even better!! Cheers
Thank you yawsers. In fact, the more I've listened to this track since my original comment, the more I like it. Just glad that Mike could supply such a great riff.
Sometimes when we find ourselves awaken in our physical body we forget that we r not all spirit. We have been given the greatest gift from our source . This is to touch, feel taste, and smell.. No relationship can ever sustain a lack of passion.. My soul-mate is to always want me. But from the spiritual connections boundaries r born. We r meant to become Whole. Mind, body and soul.
haha i was watching family guy last night and peter joined a gun club, couldnt find anything to shoot, so he took the old records. he couldnt decide between her and madonna till he heard it was velvet rope... haha lol all over
thankyou whoever you are xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sounds more like a vocal warm up than a song. Lyrics are lost in all the overdubbing and studio FX. The video is not much more than a bunch of camera angles. She continues to draws on her sexuality more than anything else.
and for some strange reason they leave there nostrils wide as can be. When I had my nose job I had my nose thinned AND my nostrils taken in so it didnt look so damn weird.
mann..velvet rope is her deepest album to me..i cry when i hear this song...it has a strong meaning..and its a message i need to hear everynow and then
I know exactly what this song is talking about. "We have a special need to feel that we belong, come inside with me, inside my velvet rope." The velvet rope symbolized her life and her life in the entertainment industry. (Velvet ropes are used alongside red carpets). She wanted us to come and see her life in a more personal way. This is probably one of the best titles for an album and makes the most sense to me.
the velvet rope is a true classique!!! this song is amazing !!! very diferent, dark, sexy, sad very good job jay after JANET everybody thinked she will do the same thing and the velvet rope is coming.... love jay
anybody know the name of the instrumental part done by malcom mclauren on this song? I heard it in cali back in 86' i believe. I can't seem to find it anywhere?
but i think she copied the theme song of 'The Excorcist' i sounds really familiar! i dont really like any of her songs! but good luck to all that DO!!

Perhaps I should explain my view. I am a Mike Oldfield fan.
I also like J.J.
I just don't think this is one of her better songs. It's nice, but she has recorded much better tracks.
I can't get over the Tubular Bells sample though. This riff is sacred to Oldfield fans. Silly, I know.
However, it is flattering that Janet wanted to sample it.
I'm sure this view is my failing and not yours. I never meant to offend any true fans of Janet like yourself.
Respect...
