Janet Jackson- Escapade

[RegEJr]

This song the same kind of sounds used in Prince's 1999.. almost 10 years later!

[TubeReel]

when Janet says "Minneapolis" at 3:10 she is talking about the Minneapolis sound that her music is a part of... Prince, The Time, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Janet's producers and writers) are all from there...Just as there was a Motown sound (for Detroit) in the 60's, there was a Minneapolis sound in the 80s - and it was "the" sound for that era

[missbham205]

I just love when she says "Minneapolis" any clues on why she blurted that out

[lpc0615]

I don't know I'm still trying to figure that out. I didn't even know that was what she said.

[missbham205]

yeah she said that..I saw a video of her doing this song live back in 1990 on tv recently and I clearly heard her and saw her lips say Minneapolis, but I don't know why she said it

[lpc0615]

I wonder why she said that to. Maybe she was in Minneapolis.

[piccakk]

高校生のチアガールの時にこの曲で踊りました。

だからこの曲は私の青春の曲の１つです。

泣いたり笑ったり・・・すごい青春してたなぁ～。

[777cola]

こういうとこで日本語に出会うとほっとしますｗ

テンポがいいからこの曲で踊ると気持ちいいでしょうね＾＾

[piccakk]

恥ずかしながら、日本語しか分からないんです。

[Haniah786]

Ye rythm nation and control are her best albums!

[niaZomba]

LOVE YOU JANET JACKSON

can you believe the guy *love interest* in the video had a sex change and is now living as a women!HA!How bizarre

[deliciousexquisite]

LOVE HER

[bebreezy93]

Man I loved Janet back then. Watched that interview on Wed. BOMB. :) :) She looked sooo cute. Loved all her videos from Control & Rhythm Nation. . fav tho: Let's Wait Awhile, Nasty, & Rhythm Nation.

[grubeci]

Singer sewing machines I heard were called taht because singers were teh most productive on the line of sewers.

[grubeci]

somebody remind me to play these at noon to stimulate the economy vs midnite for reverse effect ..exhuastino in house me house

[ilovebaseball805]

She looks just like Michael :)

I love this song !:) <3

[MistressPuff]

@ilovebaseball805 She really does! It's just amazing how much they move like each other too! <3

[soragirl6]

They could probably sing each others songs.....its really amazing. Michael had some of her moves too.....I guess they can do that....they are brother and sister....and they were close. Even some of their songs were about similar things in the 80s and 90s.

[cupcake101]

Awesome song!!! Janet must've had fun making this video. I love her and Michael sooooo much!!

[scottlucidi]

This video reminds me of a New Orleans crowd getting lost in that mexican town in the begining of Tombstone. It's like they were escapading and wanted to get drunk in the french quarter. Then all of the sudden, they're in a mexican village and nobody's drunk, just sweaty from dancing crazy.

[disbaby94]

that foot work is great wish i can dance like that

[blackbarbiie89]

For some reason this Video

makes me Tear up just alittle

i Don't know why..it's not even a Sad Video

lol

LOVE U JANET!! <33

[queenprincesski]

[newfitz06]

GO JANET..STILL THE BEST.

[hootowlg]

the hair flip @ 1:21 is perfect lol. this song makes you feel good no matter what

[ac0891]

I was on the set of this video at Universal Studios in California. It's real close to where they shot Back to the Future I and II. Two great memories of the past.

[28msraylynn1]

she is so cute

[fantabulous008]

okay, at 3:40 who is that guy with white paint on his face? He's like a bad dancer and he looks out of place. Check him out, he is in the back ground over Janet's right shoulder... kinda dorky :P

[Gorillagal247]

LMFAO! yah i jus seen him yh he does haha thts so funny!¬

[iMjerKY23]

hay i remixed this song i did a ok job not perfect but i tried wit my shitty garrage band lol but go on my profile n check it out n comment n if its wakk say it :)

[Ravenluc]

Tina is a freaking choreographing genuis!!!

[svagrod]

how can anyone Not like Janet Jackson... Great Artist and Person!!!!!!!!!!!!

[afoolishfool]

2:12, the dancing is pretty similar to Michael Jackson's style of dancing in his own music videos. Guess it runs in the family, lol

[hookerluv]

her name is in the video title. and quit hating...this was a number one single. how embarrassing that you didnt know.

[xoxofashiionista]

you're such a hater

[JVonStrangle]

She really didn't. She made her own name and career.

[babybirl009]

you knew damn well this was janet jackson lol

[Bluberryisme]

Janet Jackson is the best!! <3

[shesobreezy]

I used to know all these steps I was like 10 yo lol

[meowme9912]

lol i just stepped in toothpaste

[MrsBeasley319]

JJ is the shit!

[judy0606]

I love Janet Jackson

[Stephie2007]

i actually considered trying out for "American Idol" three years ago, if i had made it (and thank God I didn't even try out) this was probably what i would have chosen for "year of birth" week since i was born in 1989 and I love this song so much. ah well, i'll change my mind someday.

[TruBr0]

never say never maybe one day you might change your mind so its better to try it instead of one day wondering what if..I wish you luck and hope you do it one day.

[charlienchocfact]

I say go for it. I'll vote for ya honey.

[imyoqween]

janet jackson is a great entertainer ...cant say that i ever cared to much for her vocal talent... she kinda sounds like a rat or a female alvin from alvin and the chipmunks but she is beautiful and is a great dancer

[PeeweeLamby]

how?

[Picnicl]

The beat of this song seems to sound like Prince's earlier song 1999. Both songs are good.

[Youttubi]

I love Janet.

[hungry2man]

Thank you SingingBeauty1012 for making that statement. That is true.

[SingingBeauty1012]

As a true Janet Jackson fan:

~DON'T COMPARE JANET JACKSON TO MICHAEL JACKSON. IT'S SAD THAT HE DIED, BUT DON'T ALL OF A SUDDEN A COME TO JANET'S VIDEO'S AND SAY SOMETHING LIKE' THIS---> "0:00 That was so Michael" or "0:00 She took that move from Michael"

SHE HAS MADE HER WAY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, WITHOUT MICHAEL JACKSON!

[pinkpaws07]

doubt it..

[angelinasupersta]

VERY TRUE!

But they are and always will be the BEST entertainers In THE WORLD!

Love them Both

God bless them

[27andkickinit]

I had this song on tape lol dam I feel old!! I was 9 years old I wore the hell out of this song!! I use to love to watch this video I use to be dancing right with her those were the days!

[JennyferJ99]

Janet is as awesome as Michael was.

Its hard to believe she is 43. She seems like she is only 23. She was GREAT in the MTV tribute to MJ.

[omhat]

janet jackson one of the most beautiful women to grace this earth, and one of the most beautiful breathtaking serene voices. Justin Timberlake is one fortunate man to be in the stage with this diva. I love thats the way love goes, anytime anyplace, someone to call my lover, escapade, principle, love without you, we go deep, lonely etc. she is dynamic like a baseball pitcher regarding mixing her stuff up,

[infamousbrooklyn]

i agree. i'm really shocked at her bein 43

[imthebombyall]

Es-Ca-Pade, We'll have a good time.. Oh she is awesome. I just love her clap-walk OMG.

[wotnow1]

Great song. Can't stop playing it. Janet, you are amazing.

[LondonCiana]

I adore Janet!!!!!

I love her & Michael so much!!!

ILOVE ALL HER MUSIC SO MUCH

Miss Jackson if ya nasty! lmao

[BHartman1304]

:)

She reminds me of Michael in Remember the Time in this video. I love the both of them with all of my heart.

I remember when all for you and invincible came out in 2001 when I was only 5! Haha. Wow. I adored them:) Still do. <3

[yobba949]

that lead guy in the video is now a woman he had a sex change and went on sally jessy rapheal show to talk about it

[TwaylorTwistitTk]

I love this song, its #1 on my itunes, and I can't stop listening to it.

I love Janet!

[fab4fl]

Janet's vids are always a visual feast. Top performances.

[tatianadt82]

aww she is great!!

[1stonelamb]

I remember rewinding this song a bajillion times >_>

[Youttubi]

Janet is amazing.

[MissJaynet]

dang thats a bad ass hairstyle on Janet, thats her best style

[wu3ni10]

This is my favourite Janet Jackson song! I can't stop singing it (:

[LUV4MJ1958]

janet is so pretty in dis video.and she is still pretty 2 dis day. i luv her just as much as i luv her brotha MJ

[askmeicare]

"Minneapolis"

[poop101]

jesus christ, she is so pretty this brings back memories when i was little i used to watch her videos all the time <3 i love it

[imthebombyall]

Janet is freaking awsome.. I remember at the rockwithchu tour the FIRST DARN LINEE " You might think im crazy but im serious!! " then i just died. i would love to see her live again. She's so TALENTED its CRAZY!!!!!!!

[answerme33]

Wow - Janet sure looks like Michael. Partying on an escapade with gorgeous Janet - yes please!

[dion8504]

you know i always thought the same thing during rhythm nation album she looked lighter,but also back then there wasnt many make up choices then for woman of color.

[djdakidd89]

Is it me, or was Janet Lighter back then?

[sleepersgurl]

its not just you..i noticed the same thing with La Toya

[piratesdmc]

1:48 throwback to the Thriller Days! Love it!

[piratesdmc]

agreed. She can do it for Michael. She could make the comeback that he wasn't able to.

[newsboysrok]

someone tell me what's in Minneapolis.

[dearprudence11]

her producers lol

[Mellie]

Not only Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (her producers) but it's also where she recorded the album.

[nothinglasts007]

britney spears is a good Madonna & Janet Jackson tribute artist ..lol and Beyonce well she's not even original

[MikeeMyers9]

she's so beautifull, MJ was so proud of her!

[bloodtiefangirl]

i danced to this song when i was in 7th grade, my dance teacher made me fall in love with her music.

[OfficialBlackBarbie]

I love Janet's cheeks lol

[lovinliverpool]

my fave janet jackson song<3 LET ME TAKE U ON A ES CA PADE LETS GOOo!!!

[tropicanasweet5893]

okay so i hate to constantly make mj and jj associations since theyre individually awesome, but she looks so much like mike at 2:18

[briansky10]

Her big brother is the King of Pop,

Janet Jackson, to me is the Queen!

Her music I believe is just as amazing and magical as Michael's is. And this song, in my opinion, validates that.,

[TwaylorTwistitTk]

100 % agreed, your so right!

[Speedyreedy1218]

I agree. I hate when ppl say Britney Spears or Beyonce is the Queen of Pop. Are you kidding me? They don't hold a candle to Janet's natural & familial talent and ability.

[MeleLimuloa]

I have this...on VIDEO LOL! feels weird saying video coz I'm so used to saying DVD LOL!

[Gretadavon]

She is the jewel in the family!

[darrren12000]

I have never seen Janet look this happy. This is one of her best videos ever. Absolutely amazing.

[stewmacman]

absolutely undeniably infectiously awesome!!!

[Spierdalaj97]

She's so gorgeous!

[dfire]

My mom used to do her hair like that back in the day. She even had a similar coat. O.o

[Isis2531]

I love janet in the old days because she clean, well dress,good songs just better then same star that have no cool song *****

[vasticalugar]

I was searching for Janet's songs that I loved when I was little :))) yeeeeeeiiii this is one of them!!! love it:X

[ddraculdiablo]

Work it Janet!!!! :)

[marie90]

i love the move that she and the other female dancer do 4:04.

[daralibra]

Dulu artis pakai mekap tak nampak rata. Sekarang ni pakai ikut warna kulit.

[Spideymrw]

Janet looks good in black and red. I can't believe this was 20 years ago.

[xxwzaebd]

Are the rifles AR-15s?

[76lovelight76]

This is for you george my Love.....

[u2fan305]

This song brings back memories, I was 8 when I heard it and I thought how cool Janet was and I wanted to look like her. I still do , the key earring is still very cool to me . We need more music like that again,not the garbage thats on now.

[ellenwispa]

I doubt they will. Athough, remember do not judge people by how they look alone.

[xBeAGoodPersonx]

Janet Jackson looks beautiful thicker and with her hair modern. I hope no one she dates will mistreat her. She is very nice.

Escapade brings back memories from the late 1980's.

[MJRockedMyWorld1]

Why are bombarded with so much junk on music channels these days, when they have all of these brilliant vides by Ms Rhythm nation and MJ..amazing

[faris630]

Man I love the beat!!!!

[sarahsktr]

Michael Jackson-Thriller+Britney Spears-Circus=Janet Jackson-Escaped

[ElijahsImpact]

How did you get that?

[Spideymrw]

Well this was out 20 years before Britney Spears Circus video so you can see where Britney got her inspiration

[sarahsktr]

This video clip like Circus...But Janet made first..

[sarahsktr]

This song is the best ever!!!ever ever!!!

[desertflow3r]

This was a happy song. OMG. all the bruises I got bumping into furniture trying to copy her dance moves. Oh to be young and foolish again.

[LaurenFromMI]

OMG me too. I used to dance to this song EVERYDAY in my basement. !!

[kaos3124]

I used to dance to this tune in "my" basement when I was 18. Now 20 years later I still dance to the same tune in the same basement-my parents basement. I'm a security guard trying to get his life together. I'm 5'9 and weight 284lbs.

God I fucking love Janet Jackson, Cheetos, and waking up when ever the fuck I want. .

[vibesNstuff]

hahaha that was too good

[MusicalLover6]

The days I'd spend in dance class doing 'warm ups' to this song. It was killer.

[kitkatt24]

Whats with the creepy guy who just watches her from far away? VERY CREEPY!!!

[omgitsbnp]

janet is amazing:)

[kmcru]

Now I know where Usher got his concept for his My Way video!!!!Because this is clearly the same video!!!!

[kmcru]

Umm and you're NOT into girls!!!!!OKAY!!!

[TheLovelylove]

This song makes me want to go to the fair! Or carnival or something kiddie and fun! Dare anyone to hear this and not sing it for the rest of the night! I miss my childhood!

[SoulSir]

Great 80's club banga!!

[7fire7ice7]

i still love the outfit! and this song

[jalenemarie43]

Gosh shes gorgeous in this video! I absolutely love the dark and big hairstyle!!!

[joenkike2006]

she looks like paula abdul or visceversa???

[19NORGE78]

I think I saw this shit on the streets of the greater Los Angeles area.

[hungry2man]

Man i really got hooked to this song...this makes me wanna go out and by the album.and i agree wit tg179. they don't make albums like Rhythm Nation anymore.that is a classic album.janet is suppose to be hookin up wit Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis again for her next album finally.she finally decided to leave Jermaine Dupri which is wat she shud have done earlier.

[The3rdHiltonSister]

i love this song, but I dont like the video...she looks too covered up! SHe needed to let lose on the video...

[Plumeriabird]

ジャネットのキュートさ爆発ですね＾＾

マイケルが出ているという話は本当なのでしょうか？

やけに切れのいいブリキがあやしいｗ

[PerfectGame7]

...legendary...still kickin'

...greetz2 dani m.

[edemoness]

she was so adorable here..and i agree with bnjnance i see her brother Mike in her..and he's definetly with her in spirit watchin over his baby sister for life. janet you have no worries here all over the globe ur fans will always be here for you..god bless sweetheart.

[BeePercent]

2:08

"So don't hold back just haaave a good time," has always been my weekend motto.

[bnjnance]

I see Michael moving in her. its great

[DanRainville]

infectious beat, so positive and upbeat...and what a nice smile too :)

[tgl79]

I love how she moves like MJ @ 2:14 , keeping the Jackson stamp on it!

They really dont make albums like Rhythm Nation anymore, it was perfect

[jabari22]

you can see how MJ influenced this song dances, and video....JJ is great...but MJ is all over this.... look at 1:48 - 2:00 thriller anyone? but anywaz janet is great! hott as well!

[frontsand]

Damn Janet looks stunning in this video, What the hell happened?, don' t get me wrong she's pretty, but in this video she is HOT AS FU*K!!!!

[Youttubi]

Janet is so pretty.

[curlyfry44]

The guy in the video at .45 and 1:35 is NOW living his life as a woman....he came on the old Jessy Raphael Show in the late 80's dressed as a woman he was taking hormone shots at the time and said was planning to have the complete sex change but I've never heard anything about whether he went through with it. He was also in Lethal Weapon....he was the guy that Danny Glover's daughter did the condom commercial with on the beach and Danny got teased at his job about it.

[pewfeet]

didnt he also play in Fright Night 2 as that he/she vampire? Or was that someone else?

[a566626]

I love her!!

[CaptainGrevious]

such a happy song

[blue2765]

The innocence was still there.

[FmlyGy]

michael should've done a cameo in this vid...

[croberts752]

i agree but it will be really confusing to know which one is which they look so much alike

[FmlyGy]

lmao, probably...

[cattown119]

I like the first in music of Janet!

[perdybirdie]

same, her music then was original and funky..now its not and slutty

[RandyEats12]

The monkey man is scary

[MrGemini777]

One of my favorite by janet..along with Pleasure Principle and Miss U Much

[tinksluva09]

Janet's so cute, and the video looks so much fun, like one huge party :)

[djdanyantjcancun]

want the video remix of rockamerica (of this song)

[lazyasnbum]

Janet looks so happy and she's so cute :)

[doubleksquared2101]

i love her hair!!

[JAdoreSephora]

SAME HERE....

[djdanyantjcancun]

¿cuantos años tenia janet aqui??

how many years old have janet on this video?

[leroyrs]

Janet was born 1966, and the song is from the album "Rhytm Nation" from 1989. She had to be "23" then. In my opinion she looked better in 1993 when she performed in "That's the way your love goes". BTW Nice song
