Janet Jackson -- Let's Wait Awhile (Live @ AmEx Pre-Show)

[LadieeTaken]

Lol lol lol lol lol

[tameo1000]

We are the same age...I've loved her far and way the most of any singer by far. There is no one other than God that would make me fall to my knees to meet and let her know how much she affected me....Janet I simply adore you!

[brittanymccreary11]

i have always loved janet jackson i love her whole entire family:) i wood give anything to meet her sum day:)

[gawdesanket]

[gawdesanket]

[gawdesanket]

@ImProudToBeMe12 she is singing!

[stretchgilbert]

That's My Girl!!!!

[thegreatest817]

Wow!!!She can actually sing!!!!omg!!!!She needs to do more ballads.

[MsBillieJean92]

I love this performance so much.. Her voice is so soothng..Love you Janet!

[rnb247]

luv yah JJ

[hbbblife]

If she decided to lip this performance she would have thrown in more high notes. This was live. I know the idiots always want to say she is lipping but it is not true in this case and any fucking stupid person can see that. Retards get annoying.

[madessy22]

The song and herself was absolutely beautiful

[yogooglemeup]

i love you janet!!

[SuckMySwaggg]

U r d best......

[Aaliyon101]

Haterz awkways talkin shit, they always lookin for somethin small to point out but fact of the matter is JANET slays all ur faves just like MICHAEL slayes all ur faves. DEAL WITH IT. U WILL DEAL! Btches lol the KING AND QUEEN OF POP REIGN ON U!

[naturaluv85]

She sang this A Lot better on tour this year!!

[julevelleharris94]

tht aint lip singing...tht bitch can singg!!!

[1forlooker]

Thank you, Janet. Much love! Joe

[JanetJacksonGyrl]

Beautiful,Just Beautiful!!

[naturaluv85]

No, she isn't a powerful singer, but I LOVE her voice!!! It's soooo soothing and it relaxes me after a hard day. She's good, she can hold a note and she's on key, now can Britney do this??? SMH....

[woodlumboy]

@naturaluv85 not that im a big britney fan or anything but Brit actually can hold a note when she is just sitting with a mic but janet all day tho

[DaxShaw]

@woodlumboy LMAO. Britney never sings live anymore, hasn't for years and when is the last time she sat with a mic and held any note? She can't even dance anymore and they auto tune her to death on almost every song.

[woodlumboy]

@DaxShaw well yeah i tried hahahalol 

[Aaliyon101]

@DaxShaw EXACTLY!!!

[stayrussh]

:(

[prokind]

Great performance !!

[ThrowbackSoul]

Wow! This a gem. Ms Jackson looks and sounds amazing.

[cynthiaatchison2]

She does have power in her voice !! She just wanted to keep it more r&b and about her over all .. Not who can hit the highest note or out do the next .. I think she is awesome !! Very pretty ., I wish I had her skin tone . That smile is to die for !!! Her body tone is like one of the best !! I say thumbs up !!

[isaiahandillyshow]

not hatin on yall but you say she doesnt have vocal power!?!? you should watch her sing "again" live with this song(there is a video..type janet jackson again live and it will be the one with let's wait awhile on the velvet rope tour)...she is awesome and she may not be abel to belt like whitney but she hasnt dissapointed us by doing drugs er anything hahah

[lucasfmon]

she doesn't have vocal power but she has a nice tone and she sings on-key

[antigoniem06]

She looks completely bored. I guess she preferred dancing rather than sitting and singing with no crowd.

[iLoveJanetJackson1]

Not a strong singer?? are yuu fucken crazy?? watch this clip and i garantee it will change your mind. you're just a hater! Janet Jackson: Let's Wait Awhile/Again Medley (LIVE from The Velvet Rope Tour)

[pinkskylie1]

@iLoveJanetJackson1 No, it's true, Janet isn't a strong singer. But she always sings in tune and has the best falsetto ever. And it's much better than having a big strong voice.

[JanetDJJacksonLover]

i love this performance like i love all of them :) Janet is the Queen of pop and MJ is the King <3<3<3 Rest In Peace MJJ

[90sBabyNERD]

LOve this performance..it simple..Just the band backup singers and her..It would've been nice if she would've hit the note thpugh..

[ilyjanetjacksonn1]

i <33 thiS sOnqq i miSS michAell sO muchh i loveeeDD HImm wonDER what we will do now ...oo welll he trieD hiS Bestt hope we all trY && HEall the worlDD

LOVE YUU MICHAEL&&JANET

[GoldiString]

I hope you like the lyrics. 

[qwertyabsurd]

Seeing her makes me think MJ isnt dead. She is really the spitting image of her brother. They have similar little ways like they way the sing at some point and they look exactly the same in the face seriously.

[aashumusicofficial]

I hate the wig but she sounds so pretty!

[ArellanoNaomi]

i love this song, to bad young girls these days dont understand what it means..



[JimHrdz]

This is what I would pay to see!! The classics!!

[TinkeyBoop]

beautiful...simply beautiful!! ENOUGH SAID

[Voluptuous77]

This is my favorite Janet Song of all time... ANd "Young Love" Its one of her very first songs way back in 1982...

[peaceMUSICsex]

PLEASE NOTE: No one has to scream into a microphone in order to be considered a great singer. People please do your research before you comment on the strength of her voice. Janet has an amazing vocal range and always have and always will. All hail the queen

[toshgurl808]

janet is an all around amazing performer....her voice, her moves , her style is her own..she had to fight to distinguish herself from her brother, and she did that....this is one of my all time favorite songs..and only janet cant perform it to perfection...

[silkyminkz]

I am so use to seeing Janet Jackson dance on these awards shows. She looks uncomfortable. I am so waiting for a her to bust out in a dance jam! :) Her voice sounds good though! This is one of my favorite Janet songs!

[bkariel93]

I love this song sooo much! it has a great message to do it!

[nwobr]

well i think she did an good job imean she can sing theres all kinds of singer she have a soft sweet voice

[h4lyf]

she is still my queen i dont care what anybody says

[brotherhood302]

Sometimes ppl have bad days and bad performances!!

[silkyminkz]

@brotherhood302 I think the audio was muted after she was done singer. Cause it appeared that she started to say thank you or something but you didnt hear it and pulled to a wide shot.

[Moogisland1]

@brotherhood302 And Janets never had one :-)

[nolanfly1]

so...................... no one claped ?

[ToughCowgirl13]

poor thing looked so frustrated towards the end bcuz she kept messing up... she looked kinda sickly

[alisa32486]

i love janet

[theBMEJDSHOW]

amazing! I loved it!

[FDGFEGREG35435436NEW]

Beautiful version of a stunning song. This is lovely.

[Anthony62609]

the endin when she said thank you real quiet

[sally9632]

she like look mj so much

[gawdesanket]

@sally9632 why mj why any other family members. they all look same to me!

[ChrstRobins4]

i love her but this was boring lol

[missnsync]

what can she possibly do on this song do you think?

[ohlovelyme7111]

chrstrobins4 your boring

[994alize]

We love u janet

[adrian1thuwun]

she looks great and sounds great

[benjaminjanet]

i love janet. but i still laugh at that haircut

[Hyades81]

She used to say in interviews that she never remembers the lyrics of this song and she can explain why. It's the reason why live, she usually made the audience sing for her. But here, SHE IS SINGING!

[lovegrams19]

singing that much? OK? I love Janet!!

[lovegrams19]

cuz her lips are not moving with the voice you hear, plus she's tryna cover her mouth with the mic. weird i rather hear a jacked voice than a track, i coulda stayed home for that if i was in the auda.

[dedestar33]

well i guess ..ur kinda right...

[clchawaii09]

She is not lip singing morons she didn't even use a backing track. When she didn't hit the high note towards the end prove it was a live performance and it sound different than the CD. Still a good performance from a great artist.

[dedestar33]

look at 3:25 u can tell shes lip singing sorry j i still love u :0)

[lovegrams19]

I love Janet but I think she's lip singing?

[dedestar33]

me too becuz i could really tell but i love janet too

[BitterBarbara]

yeah this was not her best, Sounds like her voice is horse, poor thing. Not the best voice out there but I'v never heard her sound that bad. Just a bad day, all singers have em. I liked her hair here.

[indianred87]

she must've been feeling under the weather or look like she might cry or something i dont know but i love u janet

[humbl3pi3]

yea...mayb she was on her period. its hard when you have to perform when you feel like crap

[BYMEADRINK]

LOL

[humbl3pi3]

AHAHAHAA=D u silly. u made me laugh..i forgot abt that but yea she prob was on her period lol. seriously...

[HUMANNATURE119]

LOL!!

[humbl3pi3]

y is that funny.. omg

[humbl3pi3]

ps i didnt say that in a mean way i just felt like i was made fun of 4 a min. but my bad..its a ll gud

[MissSaharienne]

nice

[dedestar33]

i love janet but i think she messed up when she tried to sing the end becuz she didn't she the second part of love

[oxforddictonary]

Loll i think she was afraid to try to hit the high notes of that part in case she messed it up....cuz god knows, she's not the best singer out there loll

[DymundPrincess21]

The wig i'm not really into but her voice was fine..she's always had a soft voice.. I LUV U JANET!!!! XOXOXOXO

[str8xb3autiful]

she has a nice soft voice. i love you janet!

[foxesamu]

Janet is my favorite artist but I think this was one of her worst performances. This and "Pleasure Principle" that she also performed that night. Her voice was sooooo weak during this era, it was much better during the Rock Witchu tour.

[xxjjoseexx]

the wig......wispering........i love janet but this was not good at all

[Youttubi]

Janet is a great singer, dancer, songwriter and actress. There is only one Janet Jackson. Janet is an ICON and a LEGEND. I LOVE Janet!

[Youttubi]

I love Janet's singing voice.

[cjacja21]

She is really singing?? I only ever seen her mime

[LizzieXOXO]

Yes, she's really singing live.

[SuperBEDROCKER]

why she fuckin whispering...she didnt even hit the high notes...i told ya'll she lost it..lol...she can still sing the soft voice but the high shit..idk...its lik she was scared to go there wit that...he and mike sound alike to...janet washed up...lol..she look lik she want to cry cuz she cant pull off the higher notes..lol...she mustve had jermaine's dick down her throat the night before..lol...and her shit is sore as fuck

[wariolover]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! thats cold.

[kashmirasul]

because of this song..I'm not loosing hope,,

[iLoveJanetJackson1]

Omg she has such a pretty voice!!!

I LOVE her!♥

[tyronewright64]

sing it janet

[pinkskylie1]

Oh no! Stupid wig, I can't see Janet's beautiful eyes. :( Nice performance though. :)

[badboy593]

ok everyone knows she isnt a strong singer.. this isnt any new news.. she still an amazing performer and to me shes the queen of pop because she opened alot of doors for black women in the pop industry without her or her bro there wouldve been no neyo, chris brown, beyonce, ciara, or rihanna..

[guesswhoagain1]

Janet not a strong singer? What planet are you from? She can sing, dance act, and so much more!! Obviously you didn't like this performance, but don't put her into a box saying she's not a strong singer.

[badboy593]

hey can you do me a favor? shut the fuck up!!! ok? i loved this performance this is one of my all time favorite performances of hers.. i just kno that she isnt a strong singer.. hell she even knows it..and what the fuck u tlkn about obviously i didnt like this performance? i even called her the queen of pop.. so where did you get that idea from?

[mamalilgirl]

I agree with you... Janet has done a duet with 3 of the best biggest male singers ever... Luther, Elton John and MJ... no offense all three of these men were divas in the studio meaning they did not play... Listen to Janet's duet with Luther she was singing her ass off and how they were harmonizing was amazing...

[experiment0003]

@badboy593 Janet is not the queen... MJ is the queen of pop!

[MistaNeighbors]

@experiment0003 lol true

[encoreameya]

@badboy593 i object. i think janet is great singer. she is not loud like beyonce. her voice is pure, sweet and true. she is best female singer i've ever heard. the current performance of nothing on american idol shows her true voice quality and power.

[DeishaGuy]

@badboy593 true...I mean I remember she admiting that she wasn't a true singer but she definitely can entertain the heck out of you...lol (Hope I'm making sense...lol) I LOVE HER BALLADS THOUGH!! She can kill a ballad in a good way of course...Love ya Jan

[drummerboii06]

@badboy593 dont forget Britney Madonna Beyonce n every single artist including Lady GaGa n Justin Timberlake and all those that came after them as performers...

[DaxShaw]

@drummerboii06 Janet didn't open doors for Madonna when you consider they came out as singers around the same time. Michael did but not Janet. Michael,Janet, Madonna and Paula Abdul all opened doors for Britney Spears,etc.

[Damitajox3]

@badboy593 she is a strong singer

[danjay93]

she's amazing, nobody is an better Queen of Pop, then the sister of the one and only King of Pop! Both amazing, Love Janet sooo muchhh !

[preetynass]

i love you janet you sound so good ,don,t hate on a legend people just respect .

love you janet and miss you mj so much

[janfan86]

Thanks for posting... I don't have this footage.

[bublemjj47]

It reminds me of Michael a lot.....oh god, how much I miss him now :((

[janetstan313]

Well I have the performance when she did this song way better than what she did here..

[newyorksickess]

She has voice like micheal but its like a whisper

[Youttubi]

Janet is a very talented singer.

[Control2TwentyYO]

@ Eugenehilter09 Who said i did not like her? Look at my profile, the let me know teaser? hmmm yea, ok. I love Janet Jackson, but this preformance is... "Forgettable" i do not like it at all, I commented because i was expecting to hear/see something else, it did not live up to my expectations, so i expressed my dislike. Dont come at me with half a cup of tea---> Next

[pinkpostergirl]

this sounds AMAZING. Love her voice. Janet has this cute voice, that sounds amazing.

[BlAcKhIsToRyRoCkS]

this my song

[SEXiBASTARDSASHi]

I LOOOVVVVVEEEEE this song!

[bhabiej209]

She's amazing(:

her voice is super unique.

i la la la love herrr!!

[Koy18]

She sang this so beautifully. I love it. She is very talented and anyone who says otherwise is a complete dumb ass.

[naila18baby]

i love u janet!

[tyronewright64]

[6996marie]

wow this song is great

[269hotgirl]

The fact that you got on this page to make a comment about the best female entertainer in the world says it all>>....

If i hated someone, personally I would commment...

So eat plenty of SHIT DROPPLETS and DIE a THOUSAND TIMES..... You wish you were JANET THE QUEEN OFF POP!!!

[eugenehilter09]

why r u commenting on her if u dont like bit u watch this hundredths of times

[Bouhanki]

she needs to sing a bit louder - but i guess the whispery singing is her trademark! i love this song and janet!!!!

[janetstan313]

Well it hasnt always been her than she started the whispering thing in 04.. now ever song is a whisper i know she cant sing out

[hallsbstn]

didnt to much like dis

[biggliphonee]

She sounds great! Just like the original recording.

[blackbarbiie89]

I LOVE U JANET!!

FAN

4

[Shai8383]

The Wig was asian inspired cut with her color of choice. It went with the out fit she later performed in. vocals were cool and I still love her regaurdless

[fckinhawt01]

this woman can sing...there is only ONE JJ

Janet Jackson

[potatoboat]

god i hated that wig.

[tarryntoelau]

[stakado17]

i love it

[Jstorm1985]

that was the worst janet...i love you but that was not it

[cavstony]

it was, but she did the song justice back in the Rock Withchu Tour

[chambd11]

When was this

[VVFantasy]

<3you janet4ever!

shes the queen of pop&rnb bitch!

HAHA lol.

[ebuns90]

this is one of her best vocal performances

[elif912]

No, it's one of her worst. She sounds a billion times better doing it on tour this year.

[Greenterror]

the queen!

[uwontdis]

boo when they do that that means they cannot hear

[Tonyadathoe]

I love Janet voice,its so sweet and soft

[lovelyleyley]

omg. she sounds so beautiful when she sings this.

[SoonGii]

I love this song:)

[divineaglaia]

even at 40, janet has the perfect voice for this

[boyurismo]

its 42...i think.

[KingD500]

Yea now she was but in this AMAZING preformance

she was 40-41

[luvlove32]

can someone please post the velvet rope tour dvd version here on youtube. i can't find it on the net and there are no dvds available in my country. i love janet! i wish i could go to her concerts!!!!

[tedk00]

Janet, I love you and I love this song too

[elif912]

she sounds about 200% better now on the rock witchu tour. it's like a different voice, especially on this song.

[Quinburk]

I don't even know. Maybe try going to her website. It would tell you all the places her tour is stopping off at

[elif912]

y'know, i love JJ more than any other artist, but this is the worst hair she ever wore and i hope she never wears it again. it ruined all the performances she did that day for me. it doesn't look like her--makes her look way older. thank goodness, she hasn't used it once since then, although the wig she wore for her first round of "discipline" promo shows wasn't much better.

i did love her tyra and jimmy kimmel hairdo, though!

[marcdaddy33]

very nice song by Janet, and one with a great message to it too.

[sexcilli]

She looked so pissed at the end and then tried to put on that smile!

[JanetJfan1]

Janet is very TALENTED. Here LIVE performances are very GENUINE and SOUFUL... She's definatly a wondeful voice for LEAD VOCAL!!!!! luv her

[Teeoc1]

Janet is very TALENTED. Here LIVE performances are very GENUINE and SOUFUL... She's definatly a wondeful voice for LEAD VOCALS.... Here ACAPELLA is great too!

[shootjunki]

her voice has changed i prefer her musical past!!!!! she looks tired and i don t like her hair in this live but i still love her !!

[Teeoc1]

Hahaha well nun of us likes da "HAIR"...

[Quinburk]

Yeah i like a lot of her older songs better. Like this one for example as compared to Feedback

[shootjunki]

do u know if janet wants to come in europ for her next tour???  i wich but i have a doubt

[0ohSoFlyy]

She sounds amazing here; very nice and soothing!

[BooMondays]

Yeah, i think there was something wrong with her earpiece thingy, she kept on touching it and then she looks v angry at someone backstage, my guess is she couldn't hear herself so wasn't sure of how she sounded (which is probably why she didn't belt out the final verse...)

[afrostar8]

it sounds like shes strugglin to sing this song :S
