Janet Jackson - What Have You Done For Me Lately (GRAMMYs on CBS)

[Vulturep]

While Michael kept doing the same dance moves over and over for 20 years, Janet kept it fresh and consistently reinvented the concept of choreography. No shade to MJ, but his ability to move just never held a candle to his little sister. She is the true American dream.

[handful808]

@Vulturep u couldnt have said it better. mj wasnt even original. he got his style from james brown and adapted to it better but janet on the other hand was original. idc what anyone says i think janet was better than michael and i like her way more. janet was even more dedicated to the black audience way more than michael was as well. im sorry but thats the truth. janet started trends as well and til this day she still doesnt get the recognition she deserves.

[eritreangurrl]

@Vulturep People tend to bring up the fact that Mj did "the same dance moves over and over" when they try to critique his dancing. I actually believe that is what makes him amazing. He created his own genre of dancing. There's ballet, there's hip hop, jazz, contemporary and there's Michael Jackson. Michael is also incredible at not just choreography but dance improvisation, he can amaze you with his moves on the spot. and hey Janet still uses the same choreography today too! and fyi i LOVE both.

[freein2339]

Now that's some bad shit....

[janethqvideos]

Too bad the Grammy's suck now

[HotBoy147]

Miss Janet is WORKING that stage. Shame this is her only performance at the Grammys.

[MegaMizzsabrina]

my idol !

[tricia18aug]

one word: Classic

[lucasfmon]

this is one of her most incredible performances

[visceralguy]

Listen to this great remix before remixes were in and look at that choreography! Excellent performance! I notice a standing ovation, too. Well deserved! :>)

[8Drmcst8]

i can tell the heavy minneapolis influence here. the time, jerome, the dance,

[Lilacjag1]

25th Anniversary .. I remember this..

[DuhAverageJoe]

PURE SEXINESS!!!!!

[tendarine1]

flawless absolute perfection

[2012lacruz]

Timeless masterpiece of a performance!

[DamitaJoBoy9]

Janet killed that sh!t!!!! That opening is amazin.

[NewWorldRob]

Minneapolis elevated her a lot. This is why all of her 80s music stands out, and the stuff (even the most popular hits) `90s forward doesn't really hold up well. Strangely, she did not work exclusively with Flyte Tyme in these years that followed, but she should have.

[mjis4evamine]

@NewWorldRob I disagree. I think the 90s produced some of her strongest stuff. BUT I agree about the 2000s

[NewWorldRob]

@mjis4evamine thanks. Respect.

One exceptionally """Good""" show at these grammy's though huh ;-)

[gawdesanket]

that is called a true performance!

[colorgirl901]

QUEEN OF POP

[Basil3000]

Janet is in a league all by herself. Before her there were no women performing like this, she set the course for female performers as we know it today. Michael is a legend, but Janet is a legend in her own right.

[musicluvr708]

AHHHHH-MAZING!

[TheDimplePuppet]

OM-Goodness JANET ate this shit up!!!

[MrKareemRuiz]

@dayg715 Mj is way better lmao

[NewWorldRob]

@MrKareemRuiz damn right he is. IDK what's wrong with this little ass fans. Not even her OG audience was talking like she's better than Mike. Wouldn't even be a Janet without MJ, so he's the last soul anyone should compare her with.

[ThIsiSMyVeryWorld]

I really seriously can't stand anyone who follows Michael's style. Eventho Janet is his sister, Janet shouldn't do that. But in 90's, she was awesome! Totally her own identity and style.

[anti00pop]

@ThIsiSMyVeryWorld this is totally her style. nobody has ever done a performance like this. PLUS she was in heels and killed it. She was doing all the latest dance crazes and had her own street edge and she was a woman. michael didn't do this at all. Michael and everybody else upgraded their choreography after janet did control. The pleasure principle raised the bar with EVERYBODY in the music industry.

[mariaxxx529]

@anti00pop

You speak the truth. Janet is a TRUE Legend that can NEVER be duplicated.

[tiaahuja]

@anti00pop oh please...mj did the moonwalk and the whole billie jean routine before even janet made the entire control album.

[140shak]

@anti00pop are you crazy j5 always used the lastest dances did u even see the thriller video mj made up dances but wat ever their both great no need to compare i love them the same

[2012lacruz]

@anti00pop ....In high heels rockin' it!!!

[anti00pop]

@ThIsiSMyVeryWorld plus she had her producers on stage dancing with her. NOBODY has EVER done that!

[blkadonis83]

@anti00pop Exactly!!!! We are so on the same page!!

[blkadonis83]

@ThIsiSMyVeryWorld This performance is ALL Janet. Michael was epic but during 1987 and even during Thriller, Michael wasn't doing ANYTHING like this. This right here is Minneapolis Funk (The Time, Prince style of music). NO ONE not even her brother was performing like this during that time. They borrowed from each other frequently but they both had their own dance styles.

[ThIsiSMyVeryWorld]

What's so great about that. At first I just wanna comment without watching video but I think I should watch. Because I know her performance, she follows Michael's style at all. In th 80's, her videos, performance is all she follows Michael style.

[ceeceesrevenge33]

LEGEND!!!!!

[GloveGirl]

STANDING OVATION! Wow what a performance! Definitely a force to be reckoned with.

[TheMusicObsessedGirl]

MORE.

[Rookielove1]

Janet is so gorgeous and supertalented.

[HugrunL95]

Janet is getting a standing ovation in 1987!! Control had just come out and that was like the big break of her music career! You go Miss Jackson! <3

[chaosstarr]

why is she so sexy

[lucasfmon]

UNCOMPARABLY OWNED.

[gasdev]

SHE SLAYED!!!!!!

[MrBxgee]

yassss, i love this performance. Miss Jackson!

[memdiva]

Now this is a performance! Epic and timeless!

[KingCorny93]

she looks like Michael :S

[morik1]

ONCE in a lifetime performance ! and she was only 20 ! (so was I ) This is absolute perfection. I can still remember the very first time I saw it, I went : "M.J. eat your heart out, Janet is the Brighter Star of the family" ....sadly , she never got to reach this perfection on any other performance, I GET LONELY on Rossie's Show comes close, but NOT this perfect...

[cavstony]

she looks so damn good

[hollidayevery]

This is the performance where Jan-Jan came into her own!!! They changed the arrangements, and flipped the beats, and made this a one of a kind, unique version of "What Have You Done...." with a 'sleazy' breakdown with Janet telling Terry Lewis "that's too cold" (I love it)...EPIC performance (and she was on A&M, not Epic, but I digress...). One of my favorite performances from one of my favorite performers!!!

[n8wfrk]

I remember this! She worked them jeans!

[whoocarezzanyway]

*BOWS DOWN*

[2528439]

Is that jerome and the time. I love Janet Jackson.

[miaward68]

I was a senior in high school when this performance happened and I was absolutely spellbound...Baby girl had lost weight in the 30 days that had past since the "Control" performance on the AMA's and she had attitude!!! It was awesome!!!

[RoxyRockbox]

This is why I love Janet Jackson.

[SongCreator71]

EPIC

[famousstar96]

@j0siesworld janet already prove she the best

[EDGE6678]

One of the Best Female Entertainers EVER!!!

[tonywilfordruiz]

@EDGE6678 No the best.

[joshiesworld]

Janet is the last best of Jackson's that know how to dance and sing. Michael was the only first best of Jackson's family but since that Michael decreased (bless his heart), now we have to make the best out of Janet cause she's only one left in Jackson's that knows entertainment. Cause, we know that Janet Jackson won't last forever as Michael didn't (alive wise). So that's why we need make best out of Janet while she still standing and make her best.

[MichaelBrownMJ]

are people forreal stil argueing with that Flames person....i swear its been like 2 years lol

[jwh1999]

@LadyAngelight777 Just shut the hell up and roll with it trick!!!

[MrArtist1971]

Man... the music and videos in the last 10 years ULTRASUCK. I miss these days.

[WhatsWhatsTV]

@MrArtist1971 i would say since 2009

[veedubbau]

[xoxofashiionista]

Janet KILLED IT! That's what I'm talkin' bout, show the lil girls how to do it boo, SO IT TO'EM!

[xoxofashiionista]

I'm just glad Janet is still here, 44 years young almost 45 still doing her thing, still dancing, touring, singing, acting, producing Us Janet stand are truly blessed that our girl is still here:)

[janethqvideos]

Madonna wishes she could perform like the ICON of music

[slimm766]

#1. the background singers were gettin it in!!! #2. i wonder if JANET picked up her bracelet that fell off at the end of the performance, and #3. JANET at 20YO>BEYONCE at 20!! fact.

[Mineretta2012]

Janet Jackson only gets more improved as she ages. She is like a very good bottle of wine. Better be careful when you pop her cork. Oh yea look out if you pop that cork before it's time. Maybe she is champaigne. You decide.

[cupcakesyum07]

i love the rythm

[mjdreamin]

I still think she was robbed that yr. for Album of the yr.... Love you Janet!!!

[sieira12]

lol she killed it

[levee65]

[HustlethrudaHazw]

"------- "LIKE" our page please-------F@CEB00K-C0lvl/la­dieauthenticc­­ollection"

[yehshen]

See, Diddy was not the first producer to be all in the videos, all over the record, and even on the stage performing. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis with their trent coats, full services producers.

[MrJj818]

my drama teacher would always ask me "what have you done for me latley" lol

[dsim200000]

@MrJj818 xD what would u tell her

[TheGuitarist720]

SWEET KEYTAR!!

[lelebaby26]

i wonder is she aware that she's doing the same moves as Michael or they are just that much alike

[1Adr1an6]

@lelebaby26 it's called being a Jackson.

[lelebaby26]

[wannabfamousnow]

@yellowbird39tc You and me both. My mom let me stay up to watch this performance. I waited and waited for her to come on and when she did I went nuts. I love me some Janet! In my opinion this was her best award show performance. I always reference back to this video. I have it on VHS. I've watched it tons of times. My other favorite video from her is THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE! Janet fan FOREVER!!!! Go Janet!!!!! :)

[lilpinkyluv]

[Pirate7X]

An incredible reunion of THE TIME!

Jam, Lewis, Jellybean, Jerome...only missing Morris Day & Monte Moir. For those that don't know, Janet's "band" consisted of members of The Time, a lengendary group that was produced (and in strong competition with) Prince. Check their stuff on YT.

R/i/p - KING OF POP

gone but *NEVER* forgotten

[lilpinkyluv]

is it just me or is this version of the song like 10 times better than the album version!?!?!

[Omari1125]

I alway wondered what that key in her ear was to.

[plain22jane]

@Omari1125 The key was the key to Michael's animal cages. She was in charge of them.

[luvnlolo]

@Omari1125 her animal cages.

[viper23409]

Hi Janet Jackson my aunt, cousin and my mom and i are coming to your concert on april 10th at the Santa Barabra county bowl and we are big fans of your brother and you and my dad worked on neverland ranch he did the entry gates in granite. My cousin is a great Micheal Jackson dancer please veiw his videos they are called Caden's Micheal Jackson and the other one is Caden's Micheal jackson 2 thank you for your time i look forward to seeing you on the tenth

[TheCatiesmith]

gosh , the amount of energy she bringing while performing this is was to me amazing . :D

[kimmy1984]

I taped this performance back in the day. I wonder it I still have it......

[incrediballyhyper]

i learned the dance in the beginning

[bigsoman]

Damnn!!! Janet is Awesome. Keep em coming,

[PitchItGirl]

Strangely I prefer this over the studio version...

[lilpinkyluv]

@PitchItGirl i know right!!!!

[ernestlsewell]

@PitchItGirl They rerecorded the vocals, and did some new arrangement for it to "sound" live, but it was all pretaped for the most part.

[PitchItGirl]

@ernestlsewell well that explains it...thanks for clearing that up(: But still I like this version better xD

[ernestlsewell]

@PitchItGirl It does seem to be a popular version. She's used it repeatedly throughout the years on tours. But it wasn't even on the Control: The Remixes collection. There are a couple of other mixes out there, but to my knowledge, this version isn't one of them. Too bad it was never released as a remix.

[moonfreak421]

@ernestlsewell well if you want this version of the song that badly this is what you do:

1) download and install clip extractor(it's free!).

2) then download and install real playerSP 10.(Also free!)

3) use clip extractor to rip the vid

4) then convert the ripped file to mp3 using real media converter (u get it wen u download the realplayer SP).

5) Enjoy!

[ernestlsewell]

@moonfreak421 I never said I wanted it "that badly". And I'm well aware of how to get audio from a flash file. In fact, downloadhelper is all I need to grab a video, and I use one program to convert it to WAV or MP3. Two quick and easy steps. PS I'd never use Real Player for anything other than to wipe my cat's boo-tay. ;-)

[WeLoveJanetJackson]

@PitchItGirl Me too! I lovee this version!

[cavstony]

she is the best.

[Mymoonlightray]

This was the shit when I was younger. Hey now,lol

[evelynjanfan300]

daaaaaaaaaaaamn i, sorry that was the best performance of all time yes thats why she gets so much respect janet is the shit she killed that shit i am ready to just cry lmao

[letchugo]

@evelynjanfan300 haha i feel u!! :) tht intro with gimmie a beat wus crazzzyyy!!
