Rosie Perez Performs choreography from Janet's Control !!!!

[Chadzxx1]

lmao

[NYCSalsera7]

@jogmas12 Rosie is a native New Yorker, from Brooklyn, and she is Puerto Rican (also Nuyorican since she was born here in NYC)

[jogmas12]

whats rosie's ethnicity? Puerto Rican?

[NYCSalsera7]

I think at this time, Rosie was establishing herself as a professional choreographer. You see her dancers in the back, with her in the front right? The lead dancer is always in the front, which means she was in charge of the choreo that they did in this video.

[MrUNIVERSALSPORTS]

She was a little flatter in the boobie area back in the day.

[NYCSalsera7]

@MrUNIVERSALSPORTS lol .... well when women are younger we tend to be thinner in those years; as we get older we get curvier (its happened to me!) so of course she looked slimmer back in the day. With age comes changes, but we can still maintain that healthy lifestyle

[kennkenn35]

NoooooOOO! sShe anit perform it she ruined it. Wtf?

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

her little tight ass and tighs at 0:00

[raaachel3]

Is there a video anywhere of Rosie dancing in a tight black pant outfit and she's doing a bunch of like pelvic thrusts and then rub her butt infront of the tv?

[jamontaco]

THE SONG IS "SHE I CAN'T RESIST" FROM JESSIE JOHNSON. HE USED TO BE IN THE GROUP "THE TIME"

[spmillz]

It is amazing that she went from doing Soul Train to being an Oscar Nominated actress.

[dimpsey3]

DAMN I BET ROSIE HAD SOME GOOD STUFF THEN

[wokkaflokka81]

That's not control, that's not even Janet Jackson lol but that is Rosie Perez

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

@wokkaflokka81 says Choreography from Contol. This is not Janet it is Rosie doing the moves. It is moves taken from the Live 1987 AMA performance. View that then watch this.

[wokkaflokka81]

@PAYBACKiszaB2 stand corrected gotcha

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

 @wokkaflokka81 your point is.......???

[wokkaflokka81]

@PAYBACKiszaB2 the POINT is I acknowledged that I made a mistake about my first comment and I owned up to it by making that second one now u just wanna be an asshole so just do urself a favor and fuck off

[cornnellify]

@PAYBACKiszaB2 he...stands...corrected....

[wokkaflokka81]

@PAYBACKiszaB2 I was trying to say i was wrong cuz i did not see the 1987 AMA so that's my point

[strezz23]

Damn! I want some of Rosie.

[Aplustradomus]

@strezz23 Thank gawdt I wasnt the only one sitting here mentally going crazy staring at her..She is bad as hell..I care carless about her voice..in fact I love it..lolBout to go watch Do the right thing..just for her scene..

[Luvie1980]

What's the name of the song? is it by Prince?

[milkywaychocolate1]

@Luvie1980 no its by jesse johnson. do u have ondemand on comast this exact performance is on there right now

[moukur]

YES!!! Rosie can dance her ass off.

[twannifufu]

This is from "What Have You Done for me Lately".

[campcarlita]

No one finds her a bit stiff? JLo got her beat as does Janet and Paula... IJS

[kinstube]

GOTTA LOV ROSIE PEREZ , YESSSSS !!!!!

[Nightbird87]

I want to dance like Rosie! If only *sigh*

[like2seeit86]

Rosie is one bad ass dancer!

[whitney86100]

why does rosie make those ugly faces when she dances?

[letmespeak2u]

@whitney86100 Her face is like 'Take this'!

[josbo51715]

Better than Jennifer Lopez.

[hempside]

@josbo51715 well she tought j-lo.

[Lamdog17]

@josbo51715 Don't get me wrong. I like Rosie but to see Jlo at her best In Living Color as a Fly Girl, with the irony of Rosie being the choreographer.

[JumpStreet1983]

Janet, Rosie and Paula were dance powerhouses in their time. They paved the way for every single urban/hip-hop dancer and choreographer today, especially because rap/hip-hop was a new art form and they had to create new dances on the spot.

[carlosriutort]

@JumpStreet1983 loca puerto rican

[jon76398]

was that jada pinkett at the end

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

@jon76398 not sure if that was her or not, I would have to really check it out again to find out.

[jon76398]

@PAYBACKiszaB2 it was her

[angelabrandy]

@jon76398 AAAhaha! Maybe it was her Momma!

[alliehazelangel]

@jon76398 yep thats her

[knmlover]

@jon76398 Lol no. Jada Pinkett was still a B'more hoodrat back then.

[jon76398]

@knmlover jada pinkett was never a hoodrat check your facts before u post ignorant ass comments

[knmlover]

@jon76398 LMAO! Simmer down there, kid. I meant no disrespect. Is Jada your personal guru or something?

[jon76398]

@knmlover no u called her what she is most definitely not ur probably a racist or something anyway and im not a kid

[knmlover]

@jon76398 If you knew how STUPID you sound, you'd probably just shut up and keep it moving. Not only am I FROM BALTIMORE and BLACK (not that black folks can't be racist, but I'm not), I'm also a fan of Jada's and am glad a hometown girl has made it. What I don't appreciate is annoying as pansies on Youtube who get their panties in a bunch about someone that they don't even know. I said what I said in jest (ie, not to be taken seriously). Grow up and get a life!

[knmlover]

@jon76398 I meant "annyoing ASS pansies," which you definately fall under the category of.

[jon76398]

@knmlover pansies who still says that bitch get a life trailer trash

[hempside]

@jon76398 yes it was cuzz.

[chiefava]

@jon76398 it kind of looked like Vanity...or maybe Paula Abdul.

[ARakaLordBrilliant]

@jon76398 no jada pinkett is way younger and wasn't a soul train dancer. Rosie was dancing in the early 80's. She was down with tupac though.

[MIKESOWELL]

@jon76398 NO.

[wrlord]

Didn't recognize her without her tits out.

Funny, I thought she started as a choreographer. She's pretty bad.

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

@wrlord are you talking about the scene when Rosie was getting Iced down in DO THE RIGHT THING, I have not seen that movie in years but remember them big jugs from that. and she Jammed at the beginning of the movie, uyou dont' remember all them dance moves she had at the intro credits of that movie!!! wow, blew me away!

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

@wrlord after I saw her perform all them hot dance moves at the Start of that movie DO THE RIGHT THING I was expecting her to be working with all types of artists in videos but not sure she did anything with hardly anyone as far as i know of after that movie in dancing????

[angelabrandy]

@wrlord lol.. that's what I was thinking. She's pretty gd dancing freestyle by herself, but seems like she was falling behind w/ the choreography. hmm....

[lilGentz]

@wrlord she was the choreographer for in living color

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

@LilNYMama GET OUT, he he he

[aristoblak]

that track is "She (I Can't Resist) from Jesse Johnson's 1985 album Jesse Johnson Revue

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

@aristoblak sure it is, but the dancing is from Janet's CONTROL performance live.

[robyben1980]

Rosie doing Janet moves which were choreographed by Paula Abdul! Love it!!!

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

didn't BARRY LATHER choreograph this one??? "LIVE" CONTROL I always thought that.......

[robyben1980]

Totally! Barry did do the AMA with Janet. But the moves are exactly the same as Janet's 'What Have You Done For Me Lately' video which Paula did. All three are amazing!

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

@robyben1980 TOTALLY AGREED, i still to this day have not seen the full length video they used to run where Paula was rehearsing the CONTROL dancing with JAANET ...........I WANT TO SEE THAT~!!!!!!!!! they need to put out the making of CONTROL with all the behind the scenes production and dancing and etc like they did with RHYTHM NATION, that was creative stuff!!!!

[knmlover]

These are the Control moves from the 1987 AMAs

[justme632]

I remember those Janet jackson moves from the stage performance at the Music awards show in 1986.They were outstanding

[donnywal]

That's not Control...but great!

[AveIvy]

That's was part of "what have you done for me lately".

[jpgkorea]

Those are control moves. She did them on an awards show performance and killed them...crowd was going nuts!

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

that was from CONTROL  "LIVE"........well one move was also done in the Live WHYDFML but look at the ending of the LIVE CONTROL and you will see many of those moves also!

[mycollection08]

@donnywal its control from the ama's

[MacDaddy4eva]

@donnywal Thats the dance but she added her own favor into it !

[dbarroga]

@donnywal choreography

[knmlover]

nice!

[TimeKoder13]

I knew she was a choreographer before the acting but anyone know how many other folks did she do stuff for?

[mycollection08]

in living color's fly girls maybe???not really sure

[TimeKoder13]

I think uR right...I love Rosie even tho I couldn't stand her voice at first and I've spent my life with the most Brooklynest/Queenest of females, but that accent was so annoying then, now I don't even notice it. She was our "edgy" Paula Abdul. Tho, I hated when they took our street dances and cleaned them up, same ish they did with the B-boy stuff...thank God Mary J came out...

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

they should make a movie and have her and Jennifer Lopez as 2 sassy Latino sisters who always get into fights and anrguments and one gets killed and the other has to learn to live without her, it would be a great movie.......maybe i will start writing a script.

[LordRockman82]

Rosie will win. She is hood & more hardcore then JLo

[chilyn95]

Go Rosie!!! she looks crazy in that short skirt and heels

[izakteaz]

Never really liked She I Cant Resist but now I may go back and pick that album out of the crates

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

wow, did I cause you to go to the crates!!!!??? I had never heard this track back when it was out, but found it during the reruns of SouL Train and I said i have ot have this track! and at the same time noticed she was doing JANET in her dance routine too, so 2 for the price of one..........

[tmjw69]

I CAN NOT BELIEVE SOMEBODY PUT THIS UP!!! I still rememeber this I was screaming in my livingroom cause she was doing janet! You rock for puttin this up!

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

This is the episode I found out about She I Can't Resist, and noticed that Rosie was performing Janet's moves and said wow, that is very interesting and had to post it, thanks!!!!

[JACKOSTiNKERBELL]

I knew I recognized those Janet steps. Thanks for putting it up.

[kmcl11]

GO ROSIE
