JANET JACKSON (VMA 1993 PERFORMANCE) RESTORED AUDIO.wmv

[zippie63]

this sounds distorted can happen when too much base is used in music and will drown out the rest of the sound, if they reduce some of the base it wouldn't sound distorted

[Ronnie5223]

id lick her up and down :)

[jtzab]

From that time between when video killed the radio star and MTV killed the music with reality TV. Miss the 90s. Where's my cane?

[HotBoy147]

What a flawless and sensual performance from the one and only legend that is Janet Jackson.

[babyzcudie]

This is when award shows were fun and had people with real talent.... I Love the Queen!!!!!! <3<3<3

[gla292]

@babyzcudie as i was watchin it i was sayin da same shit after 97 music and award shows became trash

[hndrxuntilidie]

Legend right here!

[thisischavez]

My God is she gorgeous!

[claregarrity117]

wow

[catanoia]

KILLS IT. effortless. in fucking mom jeans. run and tell that.

[atlasshrugged2u]

She is the "model" that was copied by Brittany spears, Christinas Aguilerra, and all the other youngins after her with the whole "girl dancing in front with back up dancer entourage" thing going. Janet did it first, period!!!

[ZioZambe]

restored audio my ass, lower the volume, huge distortions

[janetsstepchild]

@ZioZambe it only did that once uploaded to youtube. dont know why it did that. i have mega sub woofers on my computer so i dont hear any distortions.

[Musiclover9806]

This is what most artist if today are missing which is stage presence

[coollycurt]

Janet gave something to not only music but to people all over the world. She was stylish, sleek and just one of the sexiest woman on the planet. The hair, the look and the dance moves would inspire so many people. I just love Janet so much. She is a living legend and a great deal of the time she is so overlooked. No one does it better.

[thisischavez]

@coollycurt. Well said. A master talent and an even better person.

[coollycurt]

Fiercest woman on the planet.......no one does it better

[important11000]

I remember this performance !! Janet is STILL rockin' and looks and sounds as fine as EVER !!!

[jackstar4444]

Her transitions are somethin SERIOUS

Especially the transition from "That's the Way Love Goes" to "If" (1:45 to 2:36)

DAMN.

That shit cray.

[wendylovesava]

ummmmm yeah. Wanna be her!

[ThisUsernameSucksss]

In this video it's really clear how for example Britney and Aaliyah got inspired by Janet, their styles remind me of Janet here.

[ThisUsernameSucksss]

her dance moves are so smooth! Real talent

[pdoll96]

Janet is one of the few artists I enjoy seeing live...she knows how to work the stage!

[naturaluv85]

AWESOME

[mackdaddy3232]

Um excuse me jlo was never in this performance wtf you talking bout? She wasn't in the video either she was only in that's the way love goes -___- get your facts straightened out

[ColosoulCameron]

Ok I have to say this is Janet Jackson's greatest performance she ever had. I was a HUGE Jackson fan and I think I was like 14 and waited the whole '93 MTV awards show to see this. And I tell you I knew it was something special cause I had chill bumps on my arms and I just sat there in awe after it was over. Youtube just doesn't do it justice. The crowd was insane! LOL..And she was 100% percent live!!! This was her peak. The Jacksons make dancing and singing simultaneously look so easy.

[JACKOSTiNKERBELL]

I wish this performance had better lighting/quality.

[mackdaddy3232]

I always seen janet as a shy person...but boy she truly showed her true image xD Im 13 years old turning 14 in a few days and I still love janet ever since I was 3 (all for you) xD

[R7423]

Janet you slayed this performance.... I see you J.Lo giving Janet a run for her money before you even became a star lol! Great performance and she is a huge inspiration to my favorite female performer Beyonce'.... So much respect!

[Lillefteye36]

@R7423 J. Lo's not in this performance...I think you might have her confused with Tina Landon

[castro21lev]

@R7423 she was in the music video not this one i don't think at least i couldn't spot her

[tonywilfordruiz]

@R7423 Eat shit.

[JessOvBHE]

I HAVE SEEN THIS SO MANY TIMES BUT OMFG WHEN SHE GOES INTO IF I JUST IEJCJDJDXHJEKXXN ITS JUST SO AMAZING

[wordjunkiee]

Janet ATE this performance.

[JACKOSTiNKERBELL]

@wordjunkiee The part just before If was life.

[gawdesanket]

sexiest performance. 

[REDDCRMLFRK79]

YOU BETTER WORK BITCH!!!

[FRSFreeStateES]

A Sexy Baby in 1993 as well as in 2011 if not more sexier today and still just as adorable

[therealkarislane]

is that J-Lo? 

[beartrev38]

i love how she leads off with 'thats the way love goes' and kicks into 'IF' the lights go down the crowd goes wild. janet kicks ass !!!

[MsKimmova]

Back when MTV was still about music and performances were sexy and not like watchin soft porn.

[gasdev]

LMAO @ this sht being soo epic!

[damitajo10]

Janet goes oh so hard when she performs. There is no other female artist that is better or greater than Janet. Janet is LEGENDARY! :-)

[ivory443]

Check out my Janet Jackson Dance cover group doing this performance dec 22, 2011

[Aaliyon101]

When "IF" comes in @ 1:54 mark, this audio is how LOUD iNEED FOR The damn youtube vids volumes to be by DEFAULT! 

[bangbangshotmedown2]

Danm that body

[jramos000]

This is bye far one of the dance performances that I have ever seen.. Thx for posting...

[ttban1988]

lipsync

[Emppulius]

why are people even arguing about who's the queen of pop? Come on.. Madonna is not cool at all. Michael and Janet are the royals of pop. PERIOD.

[chat099]

Probably the hottest and also least skanky performance MTV ever had.

[chat099]

MJ and JJ should have started a supergroup.

[CaramelCarter2010]

why are people always trying to put black entertainers against each other???

[paperbackkbook]

@CaramelCarter2010 people do it to white entertainers too.

[ceeceesrevenge33]

LEGEND!! Still gives chills in 2011.

[mickiwinaj]

damn, she was/still is fucking amazing looking.

[daydreams82]

This is classic 90s right here.. She's so beautiful and gifted / talented

[dgny70]

Beyonce Thunder thighs will never have this affect. This is Janet and she is the Queen

[themrduragss]

19 FUCKING nighties!

[TheZoRetro]

she's always been such an amazing dancer!

[bastet727]

Among all that smoke...anyone see J-Lo on the stage?

[LorenzoJ100]

She one of the best performers period



[chantals44]

i swear i stan for beyonce but ive been watching alot of JJ lately and i most say janet is one of a kind...shes right after bey for me!

[michaeljacbabe15]

fuck EVERYBODY ELSE. Janet is the fucking QUEEN.

[handful808]

ppl who say janet jackson only got famous cuz of michael are ignorant cuz latoya and rebbie were singers as well and their music careers didnt go anywhere. janet was under the clutches of her father just like michael and janets career didnt go anywhere. janet didnt even wanna be a singer/entertainer she wanted to be a horse jockey but her father forced her into it. after janet left her father and became independent thats when she blew up. janet broke boundaries and set trends as well.

[handful808]

janet jackson is one of the greatest performers of all times. ppl may disagree but i dont give a damn, janet was just as good as michael. there i said it and i mean it.

[Nunie2011]

@handful808 A lot of people may disagree with me but I think Janet is better than Michael in some regards. Mike had swag and moved like no other but when it comes to "technicality" in dancing, Janet does "werk" on every other performer out there. Plus I personally believe she put more 'relevant' music out in the last 20 years than Michael did, that's why she's my fav!

[handful808]

@Nunie2011 i didnt wanna say it but i agree. janet also focused way more on the black community more tham michael did. janet also is a gay icon. janet also talked and dedicated songs like xone,together again and anytime anyplace to the gay community and people with aids. am i saying michael is a sell out? no! im just saying janet focused on her own people more than michael did. michael isnt that original either. he got his "swag" from james brown. janet on the other hand was always original.

[MrsMascool]

@handful808 yes by the time their careers crossed paths that is true. but michael couldnt escape his blackness in the 70's or 80s neither could other early black artists. but michael created the oppotunity for janet to be as crossover as she was

[handful808]

@MrsMascool no thats false. non of janets opportunities were in regard to michael jackson. janet did everything on her own. all of the jacksons were entertainers in that case they all would have been big icons but only janet and micheal were out of all the jacksons.

[Snuggles2507]

Their is this thing she does in her walk its undescribable and I love it!

[vladichkoto]

Rihanna who? This is the most amazing female performer ever. Forget about this crap music today.

[gamegirl07]

I wasn't even a year old when this was on tv, how weird. Love it though, I think it might be my favourite Janet performance. :D

[jacobR1377]

L-E-G-A-N-D-A-R-Y!!!

[tajaym]

She is nt lip singing you cn tell cuz she is singing higher on if than the original song nd you cn tell b2ween da 2 voices

[ranae404]

love the dancing in this video..its simple but sexy/cool..

[Qiuera91]

Is the audio from another video or something cuz the audience here sound more hyped than in another video like this one

[jeminijemini]

@Qiuera91 no thats the way the audio is, i remember when it aired, it sounded like this for whatever reason

[Qiuera91]

BEST VMA PERFORMANCE!!!

[checkin4a]

OMG I am so happy I found this performance, never saw it until now considering I was 3 when it came out, lmao...but AMAZING omg I love Janet, she is lip singing though, but her dancing easily makes up for it!!! a huge icon, and top 10 greatest of all time.

[xcscchick]

OMG! JANET I LUV YOOOU!!

[ELLIS02112005]

She is/was so fucking sexy! I really miss her old dancers too, especially Tish & Tina (the whole dancing crew as a whole with J in performances/interviews) was a spectical.......

[mforce1]

Damn...this was when I first saw Janet and wanted to fuck the shit outta her!

[jmolly3080]

daisy dukes! haven"t seen those in a while.

[2kwel4kwelwhip]

THAT ASS!!!

[joyleng]

Loves the choreo!

[SlaveForBrit]

you can so see how britney is inspired by her

[vipereyes96]

@SlaveForBrit

britney herself said so

[agentaquarius11]

@SlaveForBrit oh yes! she even admitted it!

[tmjw69]

@SlaveForBrit Thank you!!!!!! But yet we still hear how Madonna has influenced her.

[alaina1123]

Luv it

[supersysy77]

Miss Janet tore it a new one that nite !!

[love70000]

[JoyfulStorm]

[2hotttt2care]

I Wish i Was There For This Performance But i Was Busy Being 3 And All..... Da*$%#

[jellybeen]

YES JANET BABY!

[lenzino7383]

Damn, Janet Jackson redefined what it meant to be a great female artist/performer from the 80s to the early 00s. It's a shame this generation doesn't have someone following in her footsteps and showing the industry how it's done. Sigh, anyway, this is definately one of Janet's best performances. Flawless from start to finish. :)

[SoCalAE]

Lady Gaga, THIS is how you do a VMA performance!

[wc213]

@SoCalAE Dude, GaGa needs NO help with how to do her performances. She's phenomenal.

That said, Janet is a legend. <3

[agentaquarius11]

@wc213 not everyone thinks so...thats why Adele is beating her lol

[tonywilfordruiz]

@wc213 She is shit to Janet.

[gawdesanket]

@SoCalAE lol. seriously!

[charmedvirgoslayer]

Janet + Jimmy+ Terry+ Tina Landon= UNTOUCHABLE!

[silvrcreepr]

This is my favorite performance...totally unexpected IF :) and the dancing..outfits...fit so perfectly..and this video is the best one!!! THANKS!!

[Kogome93]

[ILYDAMITAJO]

[coreypattinson]

SUPERB!

[nohetero1]

is that jennifer in the back

[tonnyflowers]

@nohetero1 yup!

[jacobR1377]

I Remember back in the day i was probably 15 or 16 at the time this came out and i gotta say it still gives me chills to watch JANET at her best on stage or on the big screen janet is the best!! Todays generation of pop stars only wish they can have the legandary status janet has had since she was 18!

[TheKlove1201]

Is it true that she didn't arrive at the show until minutes prior to this performance?

[cavstony]

@TheKlove1201 I wouldn't say minutes, but I have worked for several award shows. She'll do the red carpet, leave (I don't know where she's going to), but she'll come back 30 min prior, do the her performance, and go on to her next event

[CJ32g]

beyonce who? rhianna who? seriously janet Sh*ts on them! better dancing, music and original than any of these female artists nowadays.

[aguilar69]

@CJ32g AMEN!

[mrlopez2681]

@CJ32g - at least Beyonce sings live.

[ashantimyidol]

@mrlopez2681 fuck ugly ass whoreyonce..........

[ace342006]

Among this one, Throb, and Doesn't Really Matter (VMA) is hardly impossible wich one is the best.. Not to mention Rock With You video, and that choreography even impossible to concieve.. JJ *****

[DANCEABILITY251]

OMG I WISH I WAS OLD ENOUGH 2 REMEMBER THIS

[philyfan]

oh man i was 12 when i saw this, VHS'ed it & everything lol it was by far the best performance of the night....and i remember she got nominated quite a few times but went home without one single moon man :( she's still amazing though, rock on JJ!!!

[foreverclassy89]

the best VMA performances in 93! love it I love Janets hair like that! :D

[letchugo]

the sexiest belly button;)

[icarrus4u]

I use to love her weave like that!

[Tonedpapi]

I think she was at her best here. Truly letting the world know that she is not only janet jackson. But Ms. Janet Jackson. Would love to she her do this live in concert

[shopgirl0118]

[ariesnsolo78]

once again janet jackson breaks it down, like always. 

[Aaliyon101]

YESSSSSS!!! <3

[rymacofficial]

see, i see more britney in janet, then i see britney in madonna.

she is like janet+MJ+madonna+ BRITNNNEEEEY <3

[lilka913]

@rymacofficial i think is the other way around britney is janet mj and madonna with her little herself

[rymacofficial]

@lilka913 .....thats what i'm saying.

minus the "little" bit of herself bit.

britney is more involved in her music and career then alot of people know off.

i see alot more of janet in britney, then i see madonna.

[tonyboii77]

The best Janet performance EVERRRRR, love that girl...

[aesterx]

[datboi251975]

Legend!!

[ablack2005]

This performance is the most greatest. Hail to the QUEEN...that is my girl! Thank you for uploading this :)

[DonLouiVer]

@ablack2005

queen of what??? bitch... we all know who the Queen of Pop is...

[ablack2005]

@DonLouiVer - ....oh, you poor irrelevant soul. (Sighs) You're such a waste of mass and density. Anyhow, Janet ROCKS!

[RonnieRocketzTV]

@ablack2005 lmfao . janet will kill madonna , beyonce , even at age 44

[lilka913]

@DonLouiVer we never said she is the queen of any genre like pop we said that she is the queen that all you can deny it so stuff

[RedSimba88]

Greatest performance ever.

[janetsstepchild]

Definitly my favorite janet performance. And if was done amazingly! Its my favorite janet song. So gritty, raw, slammin, sexy, and hard dance beats. With innovative, intricate, sexy moves.

[eva93ie]
