Janet Jackson performs 'Again', 'Nothing' & 'Nasty' on American Idol

[bahamutskingdom]

Janet music needs a kick in the teeth by someone who knows how to create it good. No one else is doing it.....Lets get back to the music!!!!!! NEW ALBUM!!!!!

[bioniklec]

This is the same day that Christina Aguilera sing You Lost Me? Why i didn't see Janet?

I Love this performance Nasty is one of my favorite songs of Janet Jackson she is amazing!! sorry i don't understand english very well :(

[spacefortajfans]

I love this performance :)!

[Lagash1973]

What a woman! Janet's sweet like honey and hot like fire!

It's 100% my dreams ideal kind (and of millions of men too, I know it ;-P)

She'so damn cute with short cut, bodaceous and vibrating voice, I would kill for her! <3

[PrettyBrownEyes1410]

She KILLEDDD and all she did was strut back and forth on the stage. Yessssss Janet!

[ChesterxxJaheem]

Lmao who ever saying she lip syncing is buggin, These are good a full vocals nothing lip syncing

[njbway]

she looks GREAT!!!

[HCSLeavers]

mean performance ! loves it <3

[itsjackson91]

love me some Janet <3 

[koffeebrwn]

I love when Janet joins in and walks out and everyone is smiling like wow janet Jackson. It makes me smile.

[kimmie6209]

Janet has one of the sexiest walks known to man!

[Chris3199]

Janet has a beautiful voice!!

[mayonn]

Janet is totally singing LIVE here...she's amazing in concert. Here background vocals (of course) are pre-recorded...can't sing lead and background at the same time people...(smile)

[ciciguidette93]

the only song u can tell was partly lip sung was nasty. The first 2 she sang live. & of course her & Michael R gonna sound similar they're blood. I love Janet she looks good 4 45.

[MsMochaDelight]

gosh sometimes when she sings all I hear is Michael.

[mrkatsumi1000]

i cried when i seen her up there, it was so hard for her cuss of the loss of her brother.

i miss him it was so nice to work for him, but he is with us in heart

[koffeebrwn]

@mrkatsumi1000 me too!!!

[Primitive26]

Her dancers were so damn FLY...the best I've seen in a LONG time..DAMN!

[Pirdeli]

just simple & clear perfection

[encoreameya]

this would be best american idol performance ever!

[Paddy0092]

Some vocals end up sounding like MJ... God I miss him!:)

[mosez100]

she's a great dancer but her voice is just simply one in a million so soft and sweet.......

[queenofsheba66]

She looks amazing for 45 years old, glad to say I am the same age and she is proof black dont crack lol!!!

[Dadsgirl240]

you know she performed a old song from the 80s and by how she did it I totally forgot it was so old it seemed new

[snowbunnyboo360]

can i find 1 vid with janet in it and not be compared to michael

[MrSir48]

wow,she is truly one of a kind

[encoreameya]

number one performance.

[Anthony62609]

Janet Has more than 35 number ones

[bahamutskingdom]

Her Number Ones comprise of 35 #1 hits from various charts. Checked on each, they all hit #1. That being said a #1 is missing....So Excited was a #1 Dance, and it was not placed on the album. So for me it is 36.......though I personally count "Nothing" in there for the shear beauty of it :)

[duzildorf]

I love this woman too much!!!!!

[xoxofashiionista]

mane look at miss Jackson as she walks. she's do damn thick ! it's making me wet and im STRAIGHT!

[poodleduh]

Michael sound's like her!! I've been saying that for years!! Mike had a girly voice!!

[KiaNakagawa]

omg......am i the only one that closed their eyes and heard a lil of MJ and started tearing a lil?

[nevmiles]

@KiaNakagawa Yes, only during the "Nothing" portion . . .

[WorldofNene]

she killed it !!!!!!!!!

[jameswiniatamoroney]

this is such a kewl peformances

[Sexsess]

I love JJ!

[shieldssharon]

she sound like mike ON ... I LOVE IT

[Moogisland1]

@sexytannedbitch I think you'll find that gaga mimes alot of her show too. Fact is she adlibs live through out with heavy back track. Janet does the exact same. Don't be fooled by the PR machine telling you gaga is a perfect live singer, and the media hate saying Janet mimes.

[TheAngelface8]

this suprised me when janet waz on here cuz i neva seen her with short hair! but she rocked it tho n @MyCutyAngel i dont need to close my eyes to hear Michael in her voice i alwayz knew they sound alike

[naturaluv85]

@TheAngelface8 THANK YOU!!!  I wish people would stop comparing Janet to Michael. Why do we have the envision MJ when Janet is singing??

[Marisxx25]

Close ur Eyes, As Mr.Cuty said. And remmember who was and is Michael Jackson. We will remmember him forever. She's voice similiar to MJ, - Thanks MJ's parents,that they bought an Angel's in this Cruel World.

Thank you.

[BiznessSwagg36]

CDFU!!!! BYCH WAS SHOWIN OFF!!! Put it round ya neck BISH! #SHOOK SHOOK

[villanuevaedmond23]

00:43 lucky contestants. such a dream moment!. haaayyy1.

[BeefXtreme]

@sexytannedbitch whatever. because lady gag-ay wrote a couple pop songs shes supposed to be the legit shit. lady gaga is probably her own biggest fan

[HKsWorld]

is she singing or lip syncing?

[naturaluv85]

@HKsWorld Yes, that's her singing!!!  Look at the veins popping out of her neck while she's doing it!!!

[HKsWorld]

@naturaluv85 She sounds so amazing after all those years, damn! Janet is just one of the best musical performs of all time! F all the media for killing her radio carreer just cuz a damn malfuction, this woman has cured racism and homophobia through the years and they pay back by blaming her for something JUSTIN did... please other singers have performed with tits hanging out but if janet shows it by accident for a half second the whole world goes down?

[naturaluv85]

@HKsWorld The media was too hard. They came down on her because at the time Michael was going through his legal troubles.They had absolutely NO controversy on the next famous Jackson, so the media decided to take the superbowl incident and run with it. Justin was an asshole, I stopped being a fan of his around this time because I felt he was being a big pussy!! I should have known when I saw his pansy-ass crying and calling his mother on an episode of "Punk'd".

[encoreameya]

@HKsWorld i am agree i mean her singles sales are high call. on me brake the record of ttwlg staying on chart for six weeks. this radios stations are killing my head. the singles would have chart number one and giving at least one number one on each album.

[JanetJJunkie66]

@HKsWorld shes singing :)



[dabodyrobinson]

@JanetJJunkie66 This is one performance where I can say she sang her ass off. In Nothing you could actually hear her vocals coming through the mic. Nasty was hot as well. I've seen her 7 times in concert, this is by far her best live performance, shoe looked great and sounded great and very confident. Love It!

[nevmiles]

@HKsWorld It seems like she's lip synching during "Nasty" only.

[gawdesanket]

@nevmiles there's no lip synch here!

[jamyriapettaway13]

Janet Damita Jo Jackson forever love you

[jamyriapettaway13]

@sexytannedbitch you are fuking stupid if you think that michal n janet matter of fact the hole jackson family saing live the whole show so wat lady gaga sing good live who care im a true jackson fan and aint nobody comin over here and disrespect them like that

[naturaluv85]

@sexytannedbitch What are talking about Janet was singing live on here. By the way, Lady Gaga doesn't dance as much and it's hard to do that while singing.

[Ti3rraMar13]

How AMAZING is her figure

[China6296]

Why is everyone complaining about her voice she doesn't have to scream to earn respect that isn't the only form of entertainment. Thats why Janet and Michael were cut from the same divine cloth and everyone else is tissue to wipe your ass with.

[MrNewyork1975]

STFU naturaluv85 Ofcourse ppl gunna say she sounds like micheal they were brother and sister you donkeys dick and thats a compliment to her you ugly apes ass.

[naturaluv85]

@MrNewyork1975 My point is asshole, why are people so shocked NOW that they sound so much alike?? They've ALWAYS sounded similar, stupid piece of shit!!!!

[xoxofashiionista]

@naturaluv85

I agree when Janet was in her 20s and 30s she sounded like MJ did when he was a little boy, they sounded a lot alike and now she entered her 40s she sounded like how he sounds when he was grow but in a girly voice :)

[Ashabobo]

Janet my woman can sing, she's so accurate and pure w/her vocals she does not scream and yell tho she can but this woman has a voice and she has control.

[JessOvBHE2]

HOLY GOD I NEARLY POOPED MY PANTS THIS IS AMAZING

[flavagrl123]

she sounds like micheal

[88Brian06]

The American Idol generation knows Nothing about Nasty Boy..

[naturaluv85]

I WISH YOU PEOPLE WOULD STFU ABOUT HER SOUNDING LIKE MICHAEL, SHE SOUNDS LIKE JANET!!!!! JANET, JANET, JANET!!!!

[bahamutskingdom]

@queenofpopjj This is true to the word. Janet was rated the second most successful female of the 90's. What did she do in the 90's....

Janet.

Poetic Justice (Again nominated for a Academy Award)

Scream

Design of a Decade

Velvet Rope

Nutty Professor II

Doesn't Really Matter.

Basically 2 cds, 2 extra singles, and 2 movies. Bam she is number two doing that little bit.....yeah She rocks lmao

[JessOvBHE2]

@bahamutskingdom nutty proffessor 2 and dosnt really matter were from 2000 :P but still :D

[bahamutskingdom]

@JessOvBHE2 You know you are absolutely right. I was listening to that song on the radio when I first moved back. Thank you for pointing that out. So there was less in the 90's and still #2! Gotta love when you are wrong lmao

[JessOvBHE2]

@bahamutskingdom haha :P, plus the rhythm nation tour in 1990 was the highest grossing debut tour of all time ;)

[HugrunL95]

She and Michael are so much alike butt still different!! Love them both with all my heart <3

[roblou62]

I'll just say this NO ONE can have 37 number one hits being somebody's sister. Janet is truly in a league of her own. There is no need to compare her to ANYONE. In case you didn't know she is Mike's sister, so she looks like him somewhat. Of course she will sound a little like him. But to me she sounds like she always have. She is what they call INCOMPARABLE. End of story.

[ImSizzzzling]

@roblou62 you said it so well... 

[Malice513]

@roblou62 I like Janet myself, but she has NOT had 37 NUMBER ONE HITS!  Come on now!!!

[casseyboo89]

@Malice513 Shes actually had 34

[RyanOsman1]

@Malice513 Actually she's had 41 number ones, every song including the single Make Me was a number one on a chart, that's 34, So Excited and Just A Little While peaked at number one on the dance charts. Whoops Now peaked at number one in New Zealand, Enjoy, Rock WIth U and State Of The World peaked at number one in Japan, oh and Nothing peaked at number one on the iTunes RnB chart, that's makes 41...

[Moogisland1]

@RyanOsman1 Did you know that 'Son of a gun' was a number one in Zimbabwe aswell lol.

[RyanOsman1]

@Moogisland1 No I actually didn't thanks for that! :)

[Patrickibens]

@roblou62 You're right but I also have to admit that on the first song she sounds more like Michael than ever before. Nasty boys was half lip sync half live (only the spoken parts and the end were live) so that's hard to say if she really sounds like Michael. And yes you shouldn't compare her (or any artist) to any other artist cause they are all unique in their own way. Unfortunately they will always compare her with her brother! Would there be a JANET if there wasn't a MICHAEL or a JACKSON 5.

[Baileys100]

She sounds so much like MJ singing "Nothing", when I saw this on TV, I was waiting for him to come spinning from behind stage - but he's no longer "with us", right???

[naturaluv85]

@Baileys100 IT'S JANET SINGING, GENIUS!!! SHE DID THIS LIVE WHEN I SAW HER, IT'S JANET'S VOICE!!!!!

[diane4597]

lol for me she soung like michael jackson

[naturaluv85]

@diane4597 she sounds like Janet Jackson

[kamann29]

love her

[maxime31781]

lucky Janet wasse there to bring the thru real voice :D i love you janet

[veryhappyguy]

truly Diva...

[Hellcome2play]

I remember watching this and literally jumping out of my seat! I was so elated to see my personal Idol step out on stage and steal the finale show! Janet is my goddess! lol

[jerseykb1]

@Hellcome2play I jumped out of my seat too!! i was waiting for years to see her perform on idol lol now im waiting for her to be a mentor!

[MrDaRiAn21]

@jerseykb1 same here, ive always wanted her and michael to be my mentors. they meanso much 2me musically and personally

[jerseykb1]

@MrDaRiAn21 me too, i absolutely inspire to be as good and kind as them in every aspect.

[MrDaRiAn21]

@jerseykb1 agreed my friend, agreed

[bahamutskingdom]

She sounds just like.....well Janet. Listening to the two siblings for more than 20 years, I know the difference...instantly. She looks as much like Michael, as I do my sister, and most likely for the same reason lol. Wonder why this is such an obsession of them looking alike

[naturaluv85]

@bahamutskingdom That's the same thing I said, I can definitely tell them apart.  I can't believe that people are NOW just realizing that they look alike. Rebbie looks a lot like them too, along with her son Austin Brown.

[ayeshapurpleturtle]

SHE SOUNDS SOOOOO MUCH LIKE MICHAEL! omg .... michael is singing through her... she looks more like him here aswell.. myyyy god... its like a miracle.. gorgeous ! and the hair!!!!!!! feeling it! 

[MyCutyAngel]

close ur eyes when Janet sings & u will feel like if MJ sings

[xoxofashiionista]

@MyCutyAngel

why can't we close our eyes when janet sings and feel like Janet sings, cuz it's her song and this video is all about her..smh

[JanetJJunkie66]

@MyCutyAngel Lol I hear it creepy :)

[naturaluv85]

@MyCutyAngel No, I still feel like Janet is singing!!!

[encoreameya]

@naturaluv85 she is singing. don't be silly.

[Dadsgirl240]

@MyCutyAngel no it feels like janets singing

[MyCutyAngel]

@Dadsgirl240 clean ur ears

[rr78able]

####111111. What can you say? Its a Jackson kicking ass on s tage like always.... LOVe you JaNet.....

[Kat1326]

She sounds like Micheal!! That's unreal!

[Hellcome2play]

My. Favorite. American Idol guest performer!!!! when i saw her come on screen i litterally jumped out of my seat! Janet is my favorite Idol!!! =")

[maryfay53]

Janet shows them all how to do it.

Love her.

[sexygreen2010]

@maryfay53 so true, janet just takes the stage completely, she really shows her prowess, no matter how good a dancer is on the stage, my eyes never leaves janet...

[MrDaRiAn21]

this woman knows she can rock a stage at her young age. I love her. i went 2 her concert in Vegas and ppl lemme just put sum of these rumors aside ok. She was singin LIVE just like she is here. Sum artists do lip sync bc its hard 2dance and sing @ tht same time, and ima witness bc i tried it, its tough. She did her thing. All hail the Queen!

[naturaluv85]

@MrDaRiAn21 YES, THANK YOU. SOMEONE REVIEWED ONE OF TH SHOWS IN CHICAGO AND HE SAID THAT JANET WAS CLEARLY LIP-SYNCING!!!! I LOOKED AT VIDS ON YOUTUBE AND I'M THINKING LIKE WTF???!!!! YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT SHE IS SINGING LIVE!!!

[MrDaRiAn21]

@naturaluv85 yea well she might of been, but wuts the big deal yakno. i kno tht wen i saw her in Vegas bout 30ft away she was singin live! especially on the song Nothing, Just wish ppl woud stop harassing her about lip syncing, thts lame ya kno

[TASHDELONGE]

She sounds like Michael.

[Hellcome2play]

@TASHDELONGE They were family after all =D

[epi8]

Oh Snaps -- Janet is untouchable!

[augustofendor]

She was nasty if you ask me...LOVE HER.

[TheOtsiningoPark]

75 people aren't NASTAY ENOUGH!

[vimbaicj29]

i just had to say it...i never realised how big her is wooo!

[SimpliMee92]

Whenever I see her I'm reminded of Michael so much, and on Nothing, when I close my eyes...I hear his voice. This is crazy

[victoria21826]

she did a great job!

[naturaluv85]

I don't get why people think that she lip-synced Nothing, that was CLEARLY live. I just don't get why people hate her and call her a washed up has-been when she definitely still has talent. I just hate when talented people aren't really appreciated. I'm sorry but I think race has something to do with it. Janet's music is R&B/pop and R&B is popular amongst black people, so Janet has a very strong black following. Too many people out there are very culturally biased.

[xcustodian1]

@naturaluv85 Amen It's about time that people that REALLY do LOVE HER As Much As We Do Tell her FUCK THE HATER'S She Is And Will Alway's Be The Best IN my Book I'm from GaryIND my self And I LOVE HER TOO DEATH!!!!!!!

[ladylucy666]

this still bring tears to my eyes...... she sounds just like her brother Michael.... miss him so much...... RIP MIKEY!!!!!!!!!

[DalaKadavara]

I loved Michael, and for Janet and Michael's voice to sound so similar just blows my mind! I miss Michael :/

[lukinh1990]

OMG so amazing performance Miss janet s2

[MrCDK1981]

JANET IS THE BEST AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST , LOVE STARTS FROM THE HEART AND SHE ENTERED THAT PLACE FIRST, AND THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN THE ONE WE HAVE FOR HER (I LOVE YOU JANET ) P.S. THERES ONLY ONE YOU , THE REST ARE 2ND PLACE.

[travlgirl]

She and other African American Women in their 40s are making forty look so GOOD!!! I am proud to be a member of that group...Go Janet!!! I have been rockin' with you from "Control"!!!

[pmh78able]

I just noticed that intro to Nasty is Busta Ryhmes beat from his song Get Low... LOL Im so late... great performance

[prettiboyswagger]

This woman is phenomenal I cant get enough. Such class, grace, poise, talent and beauty! She sung "Nothing" beautifully and rocked "Nasty" and that body.....

[Emppulius]

[tlaalsrud204]

How is it possible that one of the greatest artists of all time can come from the same family?! There MUST be something in the gene!

[0wolfplayer0]

The only thing that makes Butts look big are waistlines :D and @shmexylexi1 WTF U MEAN SO BLESSED!? XD U MADE ME CRACK HARD!!1111 and why is Janet bald? does she have cancer?

[tlaalsrud204]

@0wolfplayer0 No, sir. She does not have cancer. She cut it for her new movie.

[0wolfplayer0]

@tlaalsrud204 oh...well that makes sense... I'm not a sir, I'm 12 :D
