  • she sings great here! it's great how she changed the dance version into a ballad.

  • yeah lyk for real she can really sing this is so beautiful and she dont take up all the spotlight she let otha ppl sing 2

  • Janet jackson really can sing!! for real people don't hear this side of her

  • Her voice is so good!

  • Queen of life!

  • This makes you feel her

  • AMAZING!!

  • Hey nice video, the true is you can buy USA iTunes gift cards at this store iTunesgiftScards at COM

  • JANET VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL!!

  • damn...sista girl can blow!!! i love her soo much. Nd wen she hit that last not at tha end of tha song..OMG...it blew mii away..for anybody who ever said she cant sing yall need to suck a fat baby dick...lol

  • singin' live anybody who says she can't sing should listen to this such good quality and she can outperform anybody old and new in short the queen!!!!! oh and she will be back soon with a movie, book ,and music i am about to go into overload!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wait a minute, she was live on Oprah in '97 was GREAT..she is awesome here, why do some folks still say she can't sing....?

  • people are just being haters Jealousy can make people stupid but whatever... janet can sing! Period.

  • Where's the interview portion of this show?? Can you upload it?

  • queen of pop janet damita jo jackson,one of a kind nobody can do it like her and mj

  • i wish she would perform like that more often.

  • GO JANET!!!!

  • now that's the janet i love, so unique and sensual, emotionally honest and naked, without the need for "range", vocal pyrotechnics, or put-on sexy. it's a nice warm blanket you can snuggle up to.

  • Queen!

  • If you're such a big fan, you would have known that she can sing..

  • lol exactly. I saw her in sept 08 in toronto. AAMAAAZIING!! next time she goes on tour im def goin.

  • After 30 years of singing... How could you question her singing? 6 albums 4 world tours... etc you question singing? Doesn't make sense

  • well, when every song sounds like her whispering, u can't blame me.....i'm not hating, i'm just saying....i'm still a fan....i even have the same tattoo on my wrist that she does on her wrist.... soooo.....have a good day lollll !!

  • What tattoo is that?

  • it's called Sankofa ...look it up on google images, it should come up :-)

  • Janet at her best

  • one of my favorite janet songs.....she rocks it here!

  • "The Queen of Pop"

    Enough said.

  • So flawless!

  • I mean after 25 years of recording and performing... If people don't realize Janet is a brillant singer they never will... Janet knows her range and she always gives a great performance... She had done a duet with Elton John and Luther Vandross... Come on now you know those two were and are very picky... Janet is great

  • i agree totally a lot of people like to compare her to beyonce and it's like why are u comparing the two they arent the same at all. yes beyonce is the better singer but she is also a differenty type of singer different ranges and they both sound totally different plus fo course if there was no janet there would be not beyonce a lot of people overlook that because beyonce is hot right now but janet is back and so is whitney so we will see if she can keep up. she can sing she's not britney

  • Get it Janet! I remember I rushed home from school to catch this and was in tears at the end of this performance. Brilliantly done Janet!!!!

  • She needs to consider doing a live album like mtv unplugged acoustic version of some of her ballads. I think it will really get people to see her differently.

  • that is an awesome idea!

  • I agree! She should do it for her next album, it will def get her a lot of attention and show the world she can sing for real!

  • My favorite artist... I love you her a lot. She's my diva!

  • FLAWLESS.

  • flawless is right...

  • this moved me to tears

  • She's amazing

  • i love j jack u kno me an janet inside joke lol love ya boo

  • dis b**** is bad !!! love janet

  • u know...janet is the bomb when she keep things simple. this was off the hook, i love it.

  • This is amazing. Go Janet

  • J's last great CD was Damita J. There were several reasons why the CD didnot have commmercial success: 1) The super bowl stunt 2) r&b radio -which rules pop charts- at that time switched to a format dominated by the teeny crunk ATL sound and adult r&b stations were only playing 70's & 80's hits. Michael Basdin changed some of that but his show was not in many markets then. 3)the wrong songs were released. Truly, R&B Junky, or MY Baby w/Kanya, would have given the CD a lasting radio life.

  • I TOTALLY AGREE

  • Comment removed

  • JD didn't do Enjoy

  • Discipline could have been a cult classic if it was promoted right.

  • spectacular.

  • i always new she could sing

  • janet needs to do more performances like this when she's promoting herself and hr music. we know that she can dance her ass off, so instead of prancing all around the place all the time she needs to do more of this and save the prancing and dancing for the big concerts and shows. Imagine sitting on Jay or David doing stuff like this.WOW

  • Janet sang her ass for this performance. She really does have a beautiful voice...a voice best presented on Jam & Lewis tracks. No offense to Jermaine but he can't capture it the way they can.

    The Velvet Rope was Janet's last great album though...

  • no way all 4 u and discipline were rely good u have to admit

  • wow...I love this version.

  • Great Performance....forgot about this!

  • i like that suit in black. it celebrates depression

  • Janet is perfection.

  • does anyone else notice how it's always mariah and mary j blige fans coming around on other artists' videos hating? i'm a janet and whitney fan and I don't have to hate on other artists because i know they can stand on their accomplishments and talent. just b/c ya'll mariah fans feel threatened by other artists doesn't mean you have to spread the hate. maybe you all should have a little more faith in mariah.

  • oh no, its the mary and Whitney fans who seem to seek out other divas, especially Mariah and hate...I amd a MC & WH fan so I see it all. There is a minor mariah vs. janet feud going on on youtube, why I don't know but if some fans engage, usually the same 10 ppl with multiple accounts, that is their business. Mariah fans have no reason to hate on no woman same for the other divas...check some of your fellow fans and see what they have been up to...i love janet and this performance is on my ipod

  • r u kidding? check out some more janet and whitney vids and you'll see this crazy mimigoddess, mimi4ever, mariahrocks, etc. person/people who change their name all the time usually putting "mimi" in it and blasts mariah and whitney. one janet video even tells ppl to watch out for that crackhead. now i agree with you about those crazy mary j blige fans, but i started ignoring them after they made an account calling aaliyah, "deadliyah" -- that's just sick

  • this is one of my fav songs by her. I wish she'd still sing like this too. She's gotten to breathy like shes trying not to oversing nowadays lol go back to this janet!

  • i a ok with u janet is fire!!! love jay

  • I wish Janet would still sing like this.

  • Go Janet.

  • YOU SANGING IT JANET!!

  • THIS J-JACKS BEST SONG

  • This really is one of my most favorite performances from Janet. It's simple, clean, personal, and emotional. It's perfection, at least to me.  Keep on doing your thing Miss. Janet!

  • yes she must to do that now! showing that is a true singer ! everybody forgeten that

  • This is one of my favorite song ever.

    I just love Janet Jackson.

    Go on miss janet

  • Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Go on girl... Miss Janet

  • The Queen of pop & music! She is beautiful!

  • wow she is beautiful beyond words with a beautiful personality and voice to go with it.

    love you Janet

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • yes!!!!Ms. JACKSON!

  • SEXY+SOULFUL+SONGBIRD=The QUEEN: JANET

  • her best LIVE performance EVER. every note was on point! and what's impressive is that IGL is not an easy song to sing. the melodies are a bit complicated and one can easily loose her tune with all those back up vocals. i sure wish she can sing it again like this in her next tour

  • woooo!!!

    get that shit

  • Yes,this is truly fanastic. You Know,else janet friend know that lady could sing.

  • so good..love it so much!!

  • this video really shows off her vocal people think she cant sing but she can she jus like 2 dance an its hard 2 sing an dance an stay on key so u lip synk

  • JANET!! Thank you for sharing. Okay, why have I not seen this?! Thank GOD for you tube! Appreciate you sharing!

  • This is her best live vocal perfomance! She should have won the Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance that year, isteadd of Lauryn Hill.

  • This is her best live vocal perfomance! She should have won the Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance that year, isteadd of Lauryn Hill.

  • alot of people think janet isnt much of a singer but this performance proves she is great singer. She has amazing tone and range. She's amazing!!! And looks gorgeous as always!

  • I strongly agree....i love janet jackson since shes began singing and I still find her fly especially....

  • This is probably Janet's best vocal performance. discipline in stores feb 28. Support you girl!

  • thats my GURL!

    u go J!

    AMAZING!

    luv U!

  • this is fantastic!

  • Oh my God, this sounds SOOOOO nice. I love this performance. Saw this video for the first time last week. LOVE IT!

  • This sounds nice.

  • My favorite Janet vocal performance.

  • I love Janet's voice its sexy, but angelic...Total control

    Could someone upload her performance on BET when she did this song and shirt got stuck...please

  • she did a great performance, i love the dance she does to the song,

  • She did this performance justice. All haters sit down

  • sing it baby

  • im in love with this performance

  • Only person with 7 top 5 singles from one album on Rhythm Nation and ties for 2nd with the janet album releasing 6 singles. could have been 7 if she released a 7th single.

  • I thought it was WHY did i get married. If you are going to support your diva you cant be messing up like that. LOL. good points though.

  • Janet Jackson is the leader of our Rhythm Nation. In spite what she's going through and what people say about her.

  • U bettr preach - JANET is my #1 lady FOREVER, she will get ovr ths mess tht Timberfake put her thru (her movie will do well too) .. cnt wait til she comes bak out on the music scene..

  • I can't wait either. I think she is over the whole Super Bowl thing, it's just that people keeps giving her so much flack over something that was only a botched performance, let alone something that's almost four years overdue. That comes to tell you how ignorant people can be.

  • I knw, its soo sadd & although I luv Jstns music, I dnt care 4 him as a man, he totally let Janet out 2 dry wen all tht wnt dwn, BUT FRIDAY BABY!--my girl gna tear up the screen, u saw her on Oprah (sch a beautiful woman!)

  • It's not fair that Justin's albums gets heavy promotion while a real Icon like Janet is being denied of the same on certain programs. Janet's next album is suppose to sound something different than any other of her albums she produced so far, and touch a whole new topic, and whatever it is, I'm hoping that album will be a mega success. An added bonus would be having that album selling more than any other of her albums.

  • GO Janet! She works it out on this one....

  • janet has a voice that so angel like.sang janet

  • janet's BEST performance EVER...!

    not even that Grammy act can match this...

    we miss janet

    that janet

  • WOW. Janet did the damn thing here. She worked this song perfectly. I love the whole Velvet Rope Era look - it really flattered Janet. And LOL at the applause at the end. The audience was like "we didn't know she could sing for real like that!"

  • I rember this clip when it aired....And I 've been searching for this for a while. Thanks for posting.  This is proff for anyone who thinks Janets talent is not legit!!!

  • i am so sorry motherfuckers ...but this is the quuen of music!!!!

  • I love this video. This should put an end to the haters! Yes, JANET CAN SING!

  • Wonderful performance that showcases Ms. Jackson's voice. I love it when she sings in full voice and not in a whisper. She has so much depth to her voice that she doesn't usually use. She is a wonderful dancer and I just wish that she could have the amazing dancing along with using her voice to its fullest potential more often. There is a vulnerablity here that is not present when she is dancing with twenty people behind her.Beautiful stuff.

  • I don't know who that is but its not Jimmy Jam

  • It's Timmy Tam, Jimmy's younger brother....you jus dont know Jan's entourage

  • yeah i could do without jimmy jam on some of those backing parts...especially the bridge...

  • Yes yes Yes, This performance DEFINITELY proves my love can sing live. Her voice has a beautiful tone, and she has a hell of a bravado. I love you Janet!!

  • Yes, this proves she can really sing live. Thanks for posting this blatin. shut dem down janet!!

  • janet definitely can sing! do you think its easy to sing in tune while dancing? janet did them both effortlessly..

  • <3<3<3 Check out my solo piano version of this song and let me know what you think! <3<3<3

  • you go janet

  • The "fat" guy is James "Big Jim" Wright, who has played on several Janet records and was one of the main producers on the Emanicipation of Mimi.

  • What a soft angelic voice - Love her and love this song! I tried singing this song while playing the piano - please check it out and let me know what you think!

  • Oh my god! That was outstanding! I knew she had good vocals, but it seems that was an understatement. She's an amazing singer!

  • Hey there! I loved this song so much I tried to sing it myself while playing the piano - please let me know what you think!

  • This proves Janet can sing!!!

  • Janet killin' it!

    Double J <3

  • my baby banged dat joint out! that why i love her ass! reguardless. and this is my fav slow song by her. besides "with u" ....

  • the ROSIE Show!???,,, gees! NOT TOOOOOO OLD! lolz...

    JANET U ROCK!!!!!!

    diggin tha RED HAIR!!!!! wheres the "FRO" (like on TVR albumCover) lolz... MISS Tha "RED FRO"!!!!!

  • That's what I'm talking, she betta let this mother fuka's know why she's the ONLY ICON

  • UH that was perfect!!!!!!!SHE can sing DAMMIT!!!!! Why do people give her crap!!

  • no that is not jimmy! haha!

  • omg she did that... I love her voice.

  • Flawless VOCAL performance from Janet. She controlled every note extremely well. Damn! Give credit where credit is due cause she sang this song. I hope she comes , vocally, like this on her next project. LA Reid make her sing! ;)

  • THE QUEEN! She is so beautiful and so talented!

  • THAT ((FAT)) GUY is MAKING the song sound HORRIBLE

  • that fat guy is terry lewis one half of her super producer team...jimmy jam and terry lewis...

  • So? He needs to Produce and not back-up (perhaps).

  • When I first saw this performance.. I could not believe my ears. One of the most beautiful performances by Janet ever... I have searched for this particular performance forever. Thank you so much for posting!! She is such a beauty -both inside and out... in voice, song & dance. Love U J.

  • I just read through all the comments posted so far on this performance, and there is not one negative comment on her voice. That is truly astounding to me, because as a fan I whine about how no one gives her credit as a vocalist. I guess it's difficult to argue with a performance like that.

  • Just Beautiful!

  • aww wat a great performance. beautiful voice, janet is an icon

  • People also need to know that janet is not only a great performer, singer, actress, but, she is also a musician. Sh played keyboards, and drums on several songs on her control album.

  • yes yes yes ...this is the queen of music!

  • just fckn flawless. thats all it is to it...

  • she looks amazing!

  • One of her BEST performances..! don't really like her new stuff...

  • I miss this Janet.She should win more Grammys,VMA'S,and

    should have won the oscar for Again in '94.She should get more respect.I don't agree with some of her songs[Rope Burn,Would You Mind,Moist]but she has done some great songs[Together Again,I Want You,I Get Lonely,

    Again etc.].

    I mean MTV abandoned her after the Super Bowl but still

    play Justin Timberlake's videos and he pulled off the

    clothing!!!It is insane.Janet is a better lyricist

    dancer,and singer than Justin!

  • IF U AINT NEVER LIED

  • GIRL CAN SING!!!I have two friends who say she can't sing,but if they listen to this,they'll see Janet can sing.

  • this 1 of janets most beautiful songs!

  • Janet Has An Amazing Voice.She is beautiful in this and this is my favorite Janet look.

  • F***ing Amazing!!! All I can say!

  • Ok, she CAN sing, don't hate haters

  • Janet has a nice tone to her voice. If everyone sang like Whitney or Aretha that would be boring. GO JANET!

  • anyone who says anything about Janets voice, just watch this. Give Janet some respect, she is a legend and she deserves it. She isn't another RnB chick, she has been there and done it all.

  • DAMN! I don't think have seen this since it aired on TV. This was a rare treat to see Janet like this. I miss THIS Janet...so beautiful and actually singing! I'm thinking this is the best vocal performance I've seen and heard from her...and one of the best performances she has ever done!

  • Janet has always had a great voice, she just doesn't use it a lot, but she CAN sing for sure!!!

  • Yep, Just cause she doesn't belt out songs like Patti LaBelle and others, Ms. Jackson does have a voice and a sound all her own. Yes, Ms Thang can sing.

  • OMG!!! I've been looking for this performance for ages. What a flawless vocal performance from Miss Jackson.

  • that was so good

  • oh great harmonies
