Janet Jackson- Throb Live SNL 1994

[Darkclark9]

OMG! I remember this performance from when I was younger. I have searched for this song FOREVER on Youtube, I thought the name of this song was call 'Raw'

[whoocarezzanyway]

type in janet jackson throb ultra rare so you can see the other version they didnt air on tv !!!

[icarrus4u]

This inspired me so much as a young dancer!! Love this!

[methd2madness]

WERK BITCH!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!

[MoneyLoane]

Still one of my favorite Janet performances. To me it defines the Janet era & I love the group of dancers, still where was Josie Harris. E/t I watch this I admire how Nikki P is chillin' & dancing like a shy girl who decides to finally dance with a guy. To me she is silently killing it. Love It!

[bahanas301]

damn look at all these fine ass chocolate sista's, i just wanna jump into the screen and experience the 90's one more time

[KIWEEKOKOPUFF]

This was and still remains my favorite live performance from Janet or any other performer. This was the first thing I ever looked for when I first found out about youtube because I've been looking for it for years!!!!!!! LOVE IT!

[plugmetv]

Sexyyyyy in a classy way

[JJhusband]

♥ this, bad ass i miss the 90's =) 

[bhz4]

I love 2:25 especially tish be gettin it lol

[nf094e]

@bhz4 I frickin LOVED Tish!!!!!

[vangoghmatisse1]

WOW, THE QUEEN OF POP JANET!!!! FOREVER!!!!

[shyvirgo22]

DID SHE SAY U BETTA WORK BITCH!!..LOL..LUV LUV LUV JANET!!

[TheAjai1234]

@shyvirgo22 she said u betta work that shit

[kristineurie44]

hands down her BEST LOOK. 

[Reggieftl1]

All i can say is Damn!!!

[bg012772]

I have to say that this is another excellent performance by Janet, her dancers are great. I have to say that some of her background performers can actually dance a little better than Janet, like that guy in the kilt, Omar and that African American woman in the green. However, Janet is the best!

[lenzino7383]

Damn, JJ was killin' the butterfly!!! Oh the 90s!!! lol This performance was FIRE!!!

[HyuugaK]

flawless choreography

[deeporc]

sexy!!!

[kisla32]

these dancers and the ones from the velvet rope tour were her best....i love tina, shawnette, kelly, nicki, omar, tyce, gil and rob...those were her best dancers!

[HotBoy147]

This was FLAWLESS. These were Janet's best dancers. Nothing against Gil because he is talented but I don't think he's a good choreographer for Janet.

[magicpaint]

@HotBoy147 agreed.

[dabodyrobinson]

@HotBoy147 Gil needs to go, he hires little queens to back janet up, she needs strong male dancers like back in the day. I must say that B has some of the better male dancers. I'm a fan of janet from she was performing with the family in the Vegas shows. She always hire fresh new talent, Gil has had his time since 10 years now.

[lacrazia3]

Miss Janet put in WORK on this one!

[BDollScream]

Damn I love this track. WERK BITCH!

[joshiesworld]

2:53 guess who?! Jennifer Lopez! Jennifer Lopez was Janet Jackson's dancer until Jennifer Lopez became singer and dancer herself.

[Kniew]

@joshiesworld True man, she moved up in the world huh.

[bdiab]

@joshiesworld It's not Jennifer Lopez. That's Tina Landon, her choreographer.....who is also latin, and does kind of look similar in this video. J. Lo left before Janet toured for this album, and this performance was well through the tour.

[bluefal]

Now, I know her greatness!!!

[hannrkelley]

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS VID WAS BACK!

Ages ago i tried in vain to search for it! Night and day! Oh god i'm so happy hahaha this is one of the best dances ever. So damn fun. They're lovin life :P

[OUTTAIDEAS88]

PERFECTION.

[gabrielgray69]

i love that janet let her background dancers get some spotlight. then she DID THE DAMN THING!!!!!!!

[dayg715]

i remember watching this in my parents' room the night it came on. i thought this was the hottest shit i had ever seen in my life at the time. people talked about this performance for weeks after.

[itsmoo2k]

FUCKIN SICKNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mowalk25]

All these young artists need to record all of Janet's live performances and study them because this is how it's done

[krosmale]

Now this is what I call a performance natural yet choregraphed beautifully

[xoxofashiionista]

This is maybe my favorite performance from Janet.

[xoxofashiionista]

I wonder if Janet misses these days...

[michaeljacbabe15]

she is by far the BEST tootsie roller i have EVER seen!

[iluvmyboba]

Omar and Tish for Days and days!!!!!

[salad1976]

9393crg14, kiss my ass. As I get older, I have no desire to be white. That's sad.

[9393crg14]

@salad1976 u sound crazy this isnt a mj video so take that shit to his music videos this janet you dumb ass. and if u got something negative say don't comment!

[salad1976]

When Janet was at her sexiest. Subtle work on the face, great body, awesome choreography. What happened?

[9393crg14]

@salad1976 ppl get older things change duhhh

[Janetfanumba1]

@salad1976 Janet is still good at dancing ... if you can't do it better dont comment shit about Janet .... Janet IS STILL STILL AND A;WAYS BE THE SHIT !!!

[salad1976]

Great. I love this. Thanks for posting.

[smartchick97]

What does throb mean in this song??

[mouvan]

OMG i've been looking for this for sooo long. Back in those days i had it on a tape and i played it over and over again hahaha. Thanx for posting it!!!

[NastyNatey]

I remember seeing this as a kid. Gave me a boner

[xoxofashiionista]

back when SNL was worth watching....

[KyleSevenStars]

Now - This is what "I" call a "CLASSY, BUT SEXY PERFORMANCE".......The outfits aren't too revealing as it is in context with the choreography and the song, the moves are sheek and suave and the mood makes you want to dance without wanting to throw your tops off. This is DNACE/POP music at its best!!! I love the African Inspired Theme by the way... YAY JANET.

[ikuikosama]

Honestly I have LOVED this song, and I still do. There was a segment when she said that she did the performance and she didnt quite capture the 'feel' for this song, and I would of love to see them at full 'whole stage' all over the place leting it all out.... man I wanna dance whos with me.... anyone? No? Fine I will jam by my self.

[KelwinDicks666]

Respond to this video...

[LadyRattler25]

"It's a NY thing, right?" Ha! Get that sh*t Jan!

[mowalk25]

One of the hottest performances EVER!

[ReggStarr]

"Throb" was never one of my favorites from Janet, but I love this performance. I absolutely looove the "janet" era/period. She totally upped her artistry at the time.

[ReggStarr]

[millz1215]

MISS JANET IS SOOO FIERCE!! THE BEST SET OF DANCERS SHE HAD. I LOVE ME SOME OMAR!!!

[kaorusumire]

my goodness! tina really has the best choreography. janet and her dancers were MONSTERS in this performance. Truly AMAZING dancing! Name one female artist now who can dance as good as janet in this performance.. Can's think of any? that's because there is NONE!

[broke2471]

LMAO I love when Miss Jackson says "Work it...in a kilt"

She's so pretty with her hair like that, looks like she did on Good Times as little penny and those abs....

One of my favorite songs by Miss Jackson

[18beautifulbutterfly]

no one will ever get near Janet and Michael Jackson's talent...period!

[BLAKPEARL69]

Loved it!!!

[qwashington]

WOW I LOVE IT

[stephonHa]

Take em back to africa boo luv u ms janet

[atrayu90602]

Look at J.lo behind her

[antigoniem06]

@atrayu90602 That's not J.Lo. She left when they started learning the choreography for "If" in '93. This was in '94. I think you're talking about either Tina (green cargo pants with the headset on), Nikki (in the jean cutoff shorts, her usual attire during that era), Kelly (camouflage cargo pants) , or Cynthia (pigtails and the Union Jack shirt).

[antigoniem06]

Someone shoot Gil Duldulao in the fucking legs so he never choreographs EVER again. Dude couldn't choreograph a fucking stick, even if he was holding it in his hand. There needs to be a petition to bring Tina Landon back. Anyone who can choreograph Rihanna and Mariah and actually make it appear as if they can dance, has some serious respect from me.

[susieq8424]

DAMN! Janet's ass... <3

[soulkatofficial]

Funky

[MyDude1995]

I love this song!!!!!

[letchugo]

her best era

[Shell1425]

Tyce and Sean!!!

[memdiva]

@Shell1425 That was omar and sean but I loved Tyce too though lol!

[LADiEHAMO88]

No one dances like this anymore

[LadyRattler25]

DAMN! I LOVE JANET!! Whew!

[90sLuVA]

she killin that butterfly!!!!

[wanabebacanruserious]

I love this song lmao... and the way she dances to it ... I am surprised it didn't become a popular dance... oh I forgot she has dance moves that are hard to mimic you go janet there will be another like you or Michael... maybe in a thousand years

[taurus163]

@wanabebacanruserious not all i love doing her dances

[GrownnSexy241]

LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!!!!! DAMN I WISH I WAS ONE OF HER DANCERS!

[shardyshaw]

OMG her frame is sooo athletic and sexy!!

[janethqvideos]

HOT

[nancypants20]

Think I just died & went to JJ dance heaven.

[paperorpaper]

She looks cute with those braids.

[nsam]

Now THOSE were her best dancers. Amazing!

[BigDaddyPimpin1]

@nsam I AGREE THOSE WERE HER BEST DANCERS, THE DANCERS SHE HAS NOW THEY SUCK.

[lamujermaslinda]

@nsam yah i miss them her "kids" as she referred to them.

[FitzDaily]

@nsam they sure were! And Tina Landon is a kick-ass choreographer!

[perry3340]

@nsam I agree. I think that was her best dance troop.  Their individual personalities really shined through.

[tronaus10]

This song still goes hard! Wish they'd bump this in the clubs every now & then to remind folks of just how fly Janet was, is & always will be!

[momotwity]

I had this video(tape) about 13-14years ago and I was creazy about it. Everyday i watched and i try to dance like them...

Today i was just wondering if there is exist this video on Youtube...

And i found it !!!! I am soooooo happy !!!!

Thank you so much for upload this amaging Janet video!!

She is the Best !!

[anneroandri]

Janet Jackson is definately the top when it comes to R n B. I could just see that invisible d**k she was workin at 3:23 with her butterfly, hell I'm female and I found it hot !!! 

[romeovision2006]

[miospio]

[TheMJandJJfan]

[90sLuVA]

[dametajo]

[xoxofashiionista]

[aashumusicofficial]

@xoxofashiionista They don't need to

[xoxofashiionista]

@aashumusicofficial

Whatever dude... how do they not need too, thay've been dancin together since Control

[VivaAlex89]

YASSSS WERK!!

[KingNycJohnson]

my dad is the guy with the shades and hat to the side

[iloveit123]

great idea to just have a big, sexy party on stage.... love this and the song!

[utterbullspit]

It would be nice if they had some Janet Jackson songs on some these dance games.

[icarrus4u]

HA! I remember learning this entire dance in my living room when I was a kid :0)

[LilasLotus]

@icarrus4u Me too! :0)

[johanny94]

The sexiest video I hav ever seen!!

[Cosmictalk]

This was her best crew this set was so tight and professional the audience should have paid full concert price! They killed it and you dont see show like this anymore on SNL!

[TheNaomiengland]

I love JJ

[antigoniem06]

I wish for three things from Janet:

1) That she release the janet. tour on DVD/video SOMETHING!!!!

2) I wish she would have done a video for this song, just to watch her and THESE dancers move #DEAD.

3)And that she work with Tina Landon again....wishful thinking...

[michaelandjanetjfan]

Love her hair!

[piranhaP]

thanks for upload, used to watch this in 98-99 when I was 18. Fantsatic. Thank you!

[CUF17]

Janet goes all the way IN on her tootsie rolls. lol

[Rolexpres]

Hot! Janet's moves are perfect and divine. That kind of talent only comes from above. The other dancers were fabulous. Raw, yet professional talent.

[Rolexpres]

Hot!

[cryforthemoon]

at the end of this video it made me miss the much music vj master t :P

[Janetjacksongurl]

3:05-3:21 3:16- 3:18 I was born in 93 and I remember in like 98 or 99 " The Butterfly" was my favotire dance. I think it was called the tootsie roll too.

[ambermac2001]

I'll take the Kilt..any day!! ;)

[stankbutt88]

I've beenl ooking for this video for ever!!!!

[Benjpeter001]

MJ and JJ forever. And for all the new artists please stop imitating MJ, it's not a tribute when your whole act is MJ style.

[trntavry]

yaaasssssssssssss for the butterfly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stankbutt88]

@trntavry yes homegirl killed it!!!!

[heyletskickit123]

She killed it this night at SNL. Both of her preformances were AMAZING.

[adua78]

Such tight tight dancing. Not a fan of Britney's, but she is the ONLY female to even come close to the same ability since Janet, but she's way waaay to technical. Janet had it naturally.

[CB37B]
