Janet Jackson- Let's Wait Awhile

[yolanda8604]

wow i was born the same year this came out...i love old school r&b

[michaelrmathis]

TAIMAK!!!!



[AlexCute1]

who the hell wouldn't wait for Janet...are u crazy mayn..

[babygirlgotswag101]

luv this song

[CokaNut05]

bro got tried

[1996Nefeli]

"I promise, I'll be worth the wait"

[millyjeezay]

This video is the epitome of my teen years...I really do feel sorry teens today who weren't able to experience a real teen relationship, where walking in a park, holding hands and kissing was enough...now they are having sex parties and catching all kinds of diseases and have MORE babies...Thank GOD I was a teen when this came out...because my friends and I actually listened.

[lolitah028]

LMAO @ Taimak poutin cause he cant get any booty. LOL

[getoutandgetfit]

Wow, world trade center at end of the video.  Hmmmm

[bfer95]

@getoutandgetfit yeah you right i notice that as well WOW

[truth00991]

It look like it was 2 degrees outside! lol

In a funny way this is what I'm going through now...it sucks to wait for the next person to decide if their ready to take it to the next level when you're the one madly in love. SMH.

[MovieAndTVCRitic]

Bruce Leroy got it going on Janet is FONE! she's past fine

[MrChiest]

@MovieAndTVCRitic Well I was jus gonna ask that....

[david2407]

I always though Taimak and Janet should have been a real couple!

[Lucas4Manga]

I'm 12 and once I heard this on the radio I immideately fell in love. Its probably because my dad likes the radio station 104.1. X3 I don't understand how some people don't like music like this. Its nice calm and sweet. I like both old school and new generation music.

[ilovemj3796]

@Lucas4Manga I'm only 3 years older than you are.....I love this song, also. I like old school more than I like new school. Old school to me has more meaning and new school is just anything these days........-Markeisha Pope

[Lucas4Manga]

@ilovemj3796 True true about the new school music can be about chicken one day and love the other. :3 Old does have lots of meaning. Although I do like me some Party Rock and other music. I also like international music also; Japanese, Korean, Bollywood, etc. but I'm not used to heavy metal...

[amaniloves1]

janet told bruce leroy, even though u have the glow, u are not getting my goodies. Master or not..sn : love this song.

[kimmy1984]

@amaniloves1 LOL!!!!! Now this is the funniest thing I've read on YT in a long time! Thanks for the laugh! BTW this is my favorite Janet song I love it too.

[keketay26]

guys always get made when u dont jump to do something like giving yourself up that need to control your self

[lilton25]

hey thats leroy green jr,he catches bullets with his teeth nigga please.lol

[annieemanniee]

this whole song defines new york to me. i wish i was my age now in the 80's. :(

a janet jackson miliitary jacket and big jeri curls. i would rock both so hard!

[blaqice88]

I loved this song. This was February-March 1987 and around that time, I was huge fan of "Family Ties". Nostalgia!

[mexxxcristinaxxx]

Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul!!

[MarvelNERDBoy]

Instead of making a Janet doll they need to make a Janet teddy-bear because she's so cute! lol

[vicko77]

waiting make the love stronger, sometimes, especially if people are emotionally evolved and then it makes sense...

[bigWpous]

big pun sent me

[0II2I992]

Looks like Lil Jon and Jibbs both sampled this song in their own songs. I prefer this though, by far.

[DetailsCount2]

What yall young folks know about this... Janet Raping to this dude...lol

[ShinoShaw]

This had to be before The Last Dragon. Cause if it took place after Taimak would of got them draws dawg. Wait this just a music video? Nevermind.



[FreshBoiiD1]

janet wuz sexy bac then & she still IS!

[garlicsteve]

From "Let's wait a while" to "Anytime, Anyplace"........Wow. Be sure to watch that video after you watch this one. Not saying a woman isn't allowed to change but damn. I wish she would perform this song live in the present time.

[kahuna3230]

Bruce Lee Roy!?



[bigrich0926]

@kahuna3230 SHONUFF!!!!!

[Blackdrgnxj69000]

yo was mad as shit she aint wanna givem none.

[crunkface11]

Best Virgin song, lol

[queline213]

He is so cute. They would have made a cute couple in real life. I liked Janet's style back then.

[M5LY]

Hey guys, does anyone know of a similar song with the same background music? It's old school and I believe the artist(s) is also female, I could be wrong. It's been bugging me quite badly that I can't remember. Please help.. thanks!

[stachi421]

@M5LY jody watley maybe? she had a similar style

[SiisiiLovESMJ]

she soo beautiful in this video she looks just like her sexy brother Mike <3

[babyblack1919]

oh ok well i never actually say this video heard the song but first time watching the video and i personally think its important to wait men need to understand the value of a real women anyways i personally think a real women waits and a real man appreciates lolz i like how that is so true and it rhymes lolz

[TNuggZ]

who's the mastahhhhhhhhhhh?!!! SHO'NUFF! LEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYY­!!!!

[diligentatl]

Bruce Leroy in the building.... WHOS THE MASTER......

[pepelecutie]

Im still waiting.

[enoboye]

Okay, here's a question : how in the hell was the author of this ripped-off tune not sued blue??? It's "Daisy Jane", for God's Sake!!! What a travesty.

[inaj27]

@enoboye WOW good catch i didnt know this was ripped off from "daisy jane!" until you said so and i looked up the song. tsk tsk

[enoboye]

@inaj27 I know. And thank you, by the way, for not jumping down my throat like some other aggressive poster loudmouth. I was only making a point. "He's So Fine" vs "My Sweet Lord"?? " "All Day And All Of The Night" vs "Hello I Love You"?? Come on........

[MrHandsallover]

@enoboye Shut the fuck it's not like it was actually sampled and they weren't giving credit

[jaystee30]

I remember hearing this song at my middle school dance. Those were the days. They dont make music like his anymore.

[angela3698]

Always loved this song! Really brings me back too!

[nyblusaiyan]

this is the music that touches your soul....i challenge any new artist now to try that for a change

[bebreezy93]

Love, love, love this song! . . . and this video is on POINT. Whoever directed her videos for the Control & Rhythm Nation era's KNEW what was up

[lovelylashes7]

if he won't wait a while, I'm better off... :-( still sucks when he doesn't :-(

[p4ulw4f]

janet at her best - take me back!!!!

[sleepy310714]

[DaveWollenberg]

@sleepy310714 It was late '86/early '87.

[lyrikalmobstak]

Bruce Leroy ready to kick ass @ 4:48...lol

[1011CB]

@lyrikalmobstak bout to get da glow

[MegaThemusiccritic]

Music will never be like this again. I wish I could time travel back to the 80's!

[PedroAntoniodaCruz]

@MegaThemusiccritic ....and watch your own birth?

[ThatwasTERRIBLE]

@MegaThemusiccritic The 90s-2003 had music just as good.

[TachoSJ]

[Whoadell]

[yagurlbubblez]

[petershaman]

Is 5:16 enough?



[mony2k6]

This is also a great song with an awesome message.

I use to have such a crush on Leroy when I saw that movie :)

[MISSPRITTIE]

I'm 12 nd i get what the song Is sayinq!

[CASPIAN91106]

Janet was buggin". Bruce Leroy had the dope 80's curly flat top, the slammin' 80's turtleneck and his own fly crib, and she wasn't letting him get any?

[TheCasu305]

Awesome 

[kyayaki]

Im a girl, but you cant blame the guys because the girls cant keep their legs closed.

[sagat4]

@kyayaki true tru.. do you;)

[vietorkorean]

@kyayaki

i like ur attitude, i suppose u know ur place in the kitchen too? ;P

[kyayaki]

@vietorkorean shuddup and go make me a sandwhich :p

[kyayaki]

@arvilita12 girl kick rocks

[justicelyric]

@kyayaki I done heard it all thats the most shallow comment I've heard thus far but hey thats how you feel than you in title to it

[aGwEENapple]

@kyayaki It takes two, it's true. =)

[highyellow22]

Who is the master??? SHO'NUFF!!!

[highyellow22]

BRUCE LEROY!!!

[CnutRexAnglorum]

Don't worry, Janet; I'm prepared to wait more than a while to sleep with you. In fact, never would be too soon. LOL! You ugly!

[mcbrotherhill]

is bruce leroy cheating on laura charles?

[encoreameya]

i am janet fan but do feel that she was great when she was in control of sex while writing songs. control and rhythm nation are best of her. she was more mature earlier. parents were saying they appreciate what she is doing. it was shocking when she came up with janet. totally exposed and sexually misbehaved. she ruined her image by writing such lusty songs. she was more successful even in full cloths and sexfree songs.

[UrbanVintageClassics]

bruce leeroy!!!!!!!!

[TYRONE538]

I dream this song last night.. I don't know why.. weird.. Yeah.. you might think I'm crazy.. but I don't think so.. lol.. he he .. I love you Janet.. ;)

[MichealJm3luv]

wow. time flies. it seems like just the other day this song was the shit lol. she is so beautiful though

[Brandigirl9400]

This song we need back on the radio......The kids today need to her this one. I remember playing this song long ago. lol

[IntellectualRebel]

I love this video cause my man from The Last Dragon is in it.

[MZEMI81]

this song make me want to fall in love all over again!

[Super11251]

should of came out back in 1976.....meaning i got in pat panties first night.....oh yea were still married

[saraijuelz]

this song kept me a virgin for a very very very long time......needs to be remade for these hot assez these days.

[sylvia585]

my favorite female artise of all time

[DaveWollenberg]

Janet hit #2 in Billboard, 3-21-87. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[naturaluv85]

@DaveWollenberg Yeah a BIG hit about abstinence!!! Awesome song with a message!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

@naturaluv85 Janet, Jimmy, and, Terry were right. Why rush into marriage, right? Have a great week!

[snatchadams69]

I love 80's Music Videos they used to throw a little plot in the video nobody did it like the jacksons though

[Floshekia]

OMG Bruce Leroy!!! But he was damn fine to me! I still think he look good.

[2020TYBO]

..LET'S WAIT AWILE..COME BACK TO ME..SOMEDAY IS TONIGHT..IS THE TRILOGY..

[MrCrocodilehunter]

Thumbs up if you're listening to this in 1959 :D

[adizzle1105]

oh my gosh this video is a video every teenage girl should watch.... it's so cute and innocent like a 16 yr old should be....

[poopaloop101]

BRUCE LEEROY!!!

[weeshla]

I remember those days...sweet memories...I waited :) My most beautiful memories ever...

[weeshla]

I remember those days...sweet memories...I waited :)

[Unkindunkin]

Bruce Leroy Catches Bullets with His Teeth and Catches Janet with his Arms and Catches Sho nuff with his Fists

[5822huron]

@Unkindunkin He didnt get shit from Janet!ahahh

[kenyancheena]

@5822huron

Yes, he did. Eventually. See "Someday is Tonight".

[luirot9]

Janet was only second to Mariah and Whitney in the early to mid 90's. Love this song and Anytime Anyplace.

[MrKareemRuiz]

@luirot9 na she better just saying

[luirot9]

@MrKareemRuiz

Oh totally I was just alluding to the charts, only Mariah and Whitney could claim greater popularity. Janet will always be Janet, and it was with her that that I encountered my first ventures with love through her lyrics and passionate songs. I discovered feelings that I had not felt in my young life then I was about 10.

[Aariyan096]

This is why so many people luv Janet

[83tat]

OMG I love this song! Reminds me of the old days!

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@sallylongpants i don't give a fuck i will express my opinion and if you don't like it then don't read it dumbass!

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@sallylongpants Why are you even making this so serious? for one it's a song and im expressing my opinion. And second stop trying to think so hard about shit.

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@sallylongpants True. But men also have the power to say "no" ever think about that? Men's hormones are stronger than a woman's guys were sluts way before women.

[taetkd]

92 dudes cock-blocked by this song :D

[kaseydash]

this my song

[ohmaryjane]

I use to love this. I imitated this look a million times,lol

[KaishaLaSha83]

Taimak!! After years of watching this never that was him. BOY!! He's one lucky man. Go Janet

[sspsllc]

Do you really GAD whether or not "he" understands, girls. WALK AWAY while you can; because he certainly won't be GAD later on after it's too late.

[frankenstn]

Wasn't that like 40 years ago? Holy cow. You're not allowed to comment on here.

[aknowneemus]

this is a DIRECT rip off from America song "daisy jane"

[normandyangel]

i want to go to her concert

[2quann]

I think it would be hard for any man to wait for janet during her prime.

[MrHandsallover]

I remember when my grandparents bought me Control on tape for Christmas in '89 and I played the hell out of this song didn't know what it meant but now I do I still love it

[amazingdany]

I'm an 80s child and I thought I heard all of JJ's biggest single hits from Control, and it baffles me that I never, ever heard of this one before now AS I WRITE THIS COMMENT!!!!!

[LaurenRenee0813x]

It's hard finding a guy that will wait cause nearly every guy now days are sluts!

[KreativeKingdomMinds]

@LaurenRenee0813x there are a few of us out here who are willing to wait :)

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@KreativeKingdomMinds that's good to know lol :)

[spmillz]

@LaurenRenee0813x HE WHO FINDS A WIFE! Remember that the man finds a wife not the other way around. Until then as a woman you should let God work on you to be the wife He wants you to be.

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@spmillz that's true too! :-)

[TheHotatlanta101]

@LaurenRenee0813x girl u r right about that........!

[chyvonneza]

@LaurenRenee0813x Do u blame them.. do u see how girls are nowadays... the dont even care that the guy is taken...

[slangshotstudios]

@LaurenRenee0813x same with the girls these days...

[muzicscientist]

@LaurenRenee0813x IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR A GUY TO BE A SLUT. GUYS ARE PLAYERS, FEMALES ARE SLUTS.... (

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@muzicscientist WRONG there are "man whores" too! And the term "slut" can be used for any gender.

[muzicscientist]

@LaurenRenee0813x I CANT GET THROUGH.: /........ OK KID THANK YOU.

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@muzicscientist kid? haha ok idiot!

[360blunt]

@LaurenRenee0813x girls are sluts they want it to quick thats why theres alot of single baby mommas them girls need go listen to wayne and learn how to love

[LaurenRenee0813x]

@360blunt The guy has every right to turn down girls who are too fast. It's not just the girl's fault.

[MegaPoohbear1996]

@360blunt yea there are some girls that are sluts but a lot on boys that are sluts too, and yea some girls want it to quick but you just cant blame the females men are at fault too, and just maybe there are a lot of single baby mamas because BOYS cant stand up for there responsibilities,and i do mean boys it takes a lot to be called a man

[360blunt]

@MegaPoohbear1996 its easy to play the blame game and first off remember its always the womens decision weather or not to have sex as you can see in the video men are very easily to give in into there temptations janet was the one putting off making the man understand its better to wait weather ur a religious man man of discipline or just some dude who thinks he can withstand whatever when it comes to women its hard to hold on its the women job to do that women need to relize there in control

[360blunt]

@MegaPoohbear1996 like my grandmama said its the women job weather or not she wants to get pregnant she knows a womens body better then a man does so the women knows how to prevent pregancy better then a man cuz a man cant tell if the women takes the pill or not unless he watches her men will do whatever to get a women in bed plenty dudes dont wear condom simply cuz they dont wanna miss the opportunity and they dont have one in the moment its the women that determines if she wantto take the risk

[krschaller]

@LaurenRenee0813x i am not a slut!!!

[keverinkarama]

@LaurenRenee0813x lol yeah you can put it that way. but they're both sluts though.

[pepelecutie]

@LaurenRenee0813x wow u sound angry! But i know what you're talking about. They want women who will give it to them quickly, and you know what those type of women are called, don't u? LOOSE MEAT!

[4615larkc]

@LaurenRenee0813x tit for tat..............its society & images projected.......my folks were strong my grandparents too i had 1 person before i was wed,,,,,,,,,,until i divorces,,,,,,,& after been 2 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,its the msot precious thing u just cant toss this around its your soul.........

[WorldofNene]

@xoxoSiren 100% agreed.

[crob110]

As a young man i did'nt appreciate this song. But now that I'm older this message is beautiful

[Skydancer1971]

OMG lmao I had the duplicate earring back in the day! Loved this song then and do even now. So funny though, I miss the styles, the music, the friends, and my parents. Both are gone now but they were so funny, did you lose an earring you only got ONE wth? Crazy teens! Love you Mom and Dad forever!

I now understand what this song really meant, and I thought a year waiting with him was enough, uh yeah Parents do know best! :P

[powerjaco]

glad i met you janet

[Icouldbeanybody]

I love you janet! Control is still the shit after 25 years.

[duncv1]

ve this video and song! i truly loved the guy in the video!! hmmm...

[alexthegreekfreak]

@duncv1 His name is Taimak Guarriello and he was in a martial arts movie called the last dragon...u should see it...the dude first makes out with Vanity and then he plays Janet Jackson's bf! Damn! Not bad!

[duncv1]

@alexthegreekfreak thanks lol i couldnt remember that movie for nothing! thanks again!

[alexthegreekfreak]

@duncv1 Well I actually happen to be a movie buff...

[MrHero820]

[alexthegreekfreak]

[k95alexander]

I'm finally glad I understand this song its truely good :)

[princescorpio94]

[MrKareemRuiz]

@princescorpio94 my balls are gay

[mjfan247]

i remember when my mom use to play this song and say to me "listen to this song" i use to thing it was just a 'mother thing' but know i really understand what it is saying. I love this song and Janet.

[DavidVargasCa]

No mean yes!!

[yettaty]

In this song you can see the resemblance to her brother Micheal.

[MsRosyne]

Essa música é muito linda.. e o clipe é excelente... ♪♫ não me canso de ouvir ♪♫

[deionc]

awww, this song is so sweet..

[ChrisSeldon01]

People critcze janet for her sexual song but for one there classy and number 2 she telling people to wait until there married something they dont sing about nowadays its just ooh baby i wanna do this and that to u but not telling kids wwll u no where im goin

[djdarrenjames140]

ah lovely - 2:58 though: nice place to keep your house key!

[rocker316ify]

@djdarrenjames140 Usually they keep it in their afro. LOL

[aboverim]

Janet's songs are the stages of love.

1. "Let's Wait Awhile"

2. "Pleasure Principle"

3. "Anytime, Anyplace"

4. "Scream"

5. "Come Back to Me"

6. "That's the Way Love Goes"

[Jsimm100]

@aboverim All of my favorites!

[Xzamilloh]

@aboverim We can't forget one of her most underrated smooth grooves Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)....I go to sleep to her voice at night....so beautiful.

[blkazn77]

OMG, I used to have the BIGGEST CRUSH on the guy in this video when I was a little girl. I drooled over him in The Last Dragon. Bruce Leroy in the house!

[blaztradiouz666]

@blkazn77 WOW.Its Taimak!!!Dident know that!!!
