To all the folks that are praising Janet, I can't agree more. No female entertainer can compete with Janet and no male entertainer with Michael for that matter. Madonna may sell more records, but as far as talent goes... Janet has her beat by miles. Madonna couldn't dance on Wii. No female was doing hard choreo before Janet... and I mean real choreo, not just moving around stupidly...
Just as people feel the need to bring up Usher, Chris Brown, Jason Derulo, & Justin Timberlake in a Michael video! Comment about Michael! These male artists ain't trying 2 be like him!
I dont understand why people are comparing Janet to Beyonce.... In 1993 when Janet was up on this stage kicking ass, Beyonce was barely 12 years old. There is no way one can possibly compare these two. Janet paved the way for Beyonce!
first of all why is everyone comparing beyond and janet, beyond and janet are almost two different performers, Janet danced more, sure beyond dances, but she's more on the singing aspect. don't get me wrong, I love both, but come one, Beyonce has created a name for herself, just as janet.
Why can't we have two successful black women rocking the business without comparing.
I was trying to find the comment that everyones complaining about saying Beyonce is better but I couldn't find it. all the comments are saying Janet is better. The comparisons are stupid anyway because everyone knows that. Janet equals legend and Beyonce equals boring. I've tried to like her but I can't..... I just can't.
@loriv77 well Imdb is wrong. Jennifer is not here. The dancers in this performane are: Nikki Patenburg, Kelly Konno, Shawnette Heard, Cynthia Davila, Tish Oliver, & Tina Landon. Jennifer only did the "That's The Way Love Goes" video, then she got the "Selena" role & started her acting career.
@dayg715 That's weird..because it looks like her with the short hair dancing in the background. Looks like her build and everything. Her or not, I love her successful story! <3
@terellgreen I miss when Janet and Michael used to do that and people went nuts, they would stand there and just Gaze into the crowd and I know I went nuts more than a few times!!!! Janet and Michael LEGENDS!!!!!
everytime i look at this i drift back to that time frame... Janet is and will always be the best ever. i hate how so many pple try to compare her and Beyonce to eachother... they two different styles of sexy
@faviola2001 Have U checked out her 1997 live performance {together again} awesome! So smooth it's like butter. SEXY but so CLASSY. 2 me that's her best award show. But anything Janet & Mike sing or routine they perform is gravy 2 me, because w/out it, it isn't a complete meal. They are just perfectionist, got 2 come correct. BLESS THEM BOTH, LUVUMORE M.J.
i love janet pretty face nice body she can sing and dance & college grad and who are them ugly bitches she got danceing with her none of them are pretty what happend to music damn not all of us youngsters liston to this garbage today
You know that Janet is a legend when you have all the haters who want to compare her to Beyonce. A.) Compare Beyonce to the girls in her peer group, which are Britney, Ciara and Rhianna. Janet created this style that they are desperately trying to bite. Janet has already BEEN THERE and DONE THAT in her career! Janet has nothing to prove!!!!! 37yrs in the game is ENOUGH PROOF!!!! Love you Janet!!!!
i LOVE JANET QUEEN until she hands the crown over which is never she has already done the work she never has to do anything else again hmmm unless she wants to because thats what a QUEEN does
do any of those beyonce pussy riders notice how long janet jackson has been in the business for? when janet was on, beyonce was a kid okay? no where to be known as famous. just like mike, she was a child star (actress) and she later got into singing. if anything, beyonce is the one that copies from janet. SO PLEASE STOP COMPARING PRETENDERS TO LEGENDS! some ppl have the nerve to compare chris brown or justin timberlake to michael jackson and britney spears and beyonce to janet. how dare you!
Why do people have to bring BEYONCE comments into JANET'S video??? This video has nothing to do with BEYONCE.... so comment about JANET because she's the one in the video NOT BEYONCE. thank you
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP COMPARING BEYONCE.CIARA,BRITNEY & MADONNA TO JANET I'M SICK OF IT JANET IS ON A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL THEN ALL THESE OTHER WOMEN IN THE INDUSTRY.SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE SHE WAS 7 YEARS OLD FROM T.V TO MUSIC TO MOVIES AND STILL AT 44 YEARS OLD JANET AINT DONE SO STOP THE HATEING & DEBATING.SHE IS THE ORIGINATOR, INNOVATOR , EMANCIPATOR LOL JUST KIDDING WITH THAT ONE
These were the days Janet really owned. There was nobody bigger than her, Mariah, and Madonna at this point in pop music. Too bad her career hasn't maintained in recent years. Her new music is every bit as good as it was back in the day.
I'm sorry but Janet is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better than Beyon, Beyon moves like a crazy bitch on the stage, she goes way over the top that it is pathetic. Janet jackson feels the music in a way that NO OTHER artist can interprete, it is a family thing, The Jacksons baby!!!!!
why are comparing these two women? They are different type artists. They are both extraordinary performers.. By the way, regardless of what you have been told,there can be more than one popular black female performer at a time. So stop the nonsense and learn how to compliment without having to insult someone else.. Janet is awesome,so is Beyonce.
This is crazy and I put this on my life when I look back at old photographs from like 98(when I was 6) I can't even remember when I did any of that stuff but I can remember when and where I was when I first saw(heard) a Janet Jackson song and I remember always sitting by the radio all day so I can just hear a Janet song
Damn, Janet doesnt even need all the glamour and glitz, just some jeans and tank, she still kills that like no other, just the music and choreography!!!! Get It Janet!!!
Janet IS singing live! You can hear her breathe between verses and the songs are nothing like the album version. Girl is singing and dancing live. This performance is HOT.
@BlackOut628 This is not a pre-recorded tape. They didn't even have that in 1993. It was totally and completly live. Only Michael & Janet can dance like that and sing at the same time.
@BlackOut628 Actually they didn't..Ur probably not even old enough to know the difference...it was lip sync or sing live...Just trust a professional kid.
@ColosoulCameron well Im in my 30's but since u are so locked on Janet singing this live I will agree with you..just to get you to stop messaging me..so here you go "Yeah your right!!! this is all the way live! what was I thinking"
@wooda011 and let me point out that janet DOES write her own music (beyonce get sued for claiming rights to songs she does not write). Janet live in concert does not lyp sing (she was THE FIRST to use the headpiece mic for that reason)..and janet has outsold beyone hands down...she is a legend..respect that
@wooda011 Ok, you sing perfectly while dancing like this badass. Beyonce screams and gives me a headache after one song. She doesn't even dance, just shakes around her weave.
There will never be another!! Janet is the one and only!! Love her so much! No one's putting this much charisma and love into what they do! That's what's wrong with the business. Janet loves what she does and you can see it when she moves and in her eyes!!
Its just shows the difference in music today. When I was young and janet was coming out...we didn't diss Donna Summer, Diana Ross, etc because they were legends. They were still making music and we HONORED them.
Janet should be honored even if you're a Beyonce fan. PERIOD.
Im no where near 40 yet, but 40 is the new 30 and a lot of women in their 40s are looking good as hell. That means that a lot of singers that hit 40 is no longer going to fall in the background instead they will bring sexy back and sit these little young singers down, because older women is very sexy. They are very in touch with their sexuality and not afriad of what other people will think of them!
I like beyonce she's awesome, but Janet is very sexy. Janet is more intouch with her sexuality. Janet is not afraid of her sexy side thats how women are the older they get the more comfortable that they get when it comes to being sexy and their sexuality. Beyonce is still a little to young right now to be on janets level!
@nsam your soooooo fkn funny and right wahaha i find beyonce boring too i cant count on one hand the amount of good songs beyonce has..and anyone who can find a man like Jay Z attractive enough to marry is lacking in serious intellect
man shes so hot....if i was a guy i know how i would feel watchin this lol...i copied her dance moves when i danced in hip hop clubs in the 90's she was my biggest influence...and ppl dont insult janet by comparing her to beyonce...beyonce cant touch janet...janet would dance circles around beyonces ass anyday...janet been in the game much longer...shes versatile innovative and evolving like no other female artist..she made a name for herself being the sister of the worlds most famous star.....
Whassup with the Janet/Beyonce' comparison? If you like Janet better, OK! If you like Beyonce' better, OK! They are both great, this was one of Janet's best!!!!
Oh god ENOUGH of the Janet/Beyonce comparison. My god, I would NEVER in my life buy a Beyonce CD. WHY? She bores me to death. I don't care if she can sing. The song subject is boring, topics are tiring - not empowering. The weave is boring. The short skirts have been-there-done-that written all over them. Janet is BOLD, sings about sex, dresses like no one I know, created the path for OTHER female artists, dances better than any female today even at 40! Janet isn't IMPLICIT, she's EXPLICIT!!!
Why do people compare Beyonce and Janet, anyway? It's obvious who's more talented; Janet's been around way longer and as set records of all sorts. She's left a dance legacy, much like her brother's although not as big. Beyonce is talented, but releases the same shit every year.
Janet is so sexy in just jeans and a top, not like these bimbo auto-tuned sluts nowadays. Miss Jackson is truely sexy never sleazy and always classy. And this "lovejoydiva" person thats posting here really is a sad, pathetic, bitter old hater!! He/she seems to be at this video alot for someone who supposebly hates Janet. Get a fucking life loser!!! Go listen to your shitty Gaga cd. Janet=Legend, Icon. lovejoydiva=waste of oxygen.
@simplyrich85 Sorry hun. That's Kelly. Jennifer Lopez isn't in this performance. The only thing Lopez really did with Janet was the TTWLG video. I dont even think she was in the IF video.
I loved Janet's whole steez the night of this performance. This was the first performance EVER since the Rhythm Nation Era. I was pissed that she didn't win any awards that night, but to me it kinda worked out for her for this performance. She closed the show, u didnt see her the whole night until u saw her on stage. She didnt smile the whole performance. Her whole swagger that night was such a mysterious vibe. It was so cool! She looked amazing! ONLY JANET can werk a stage like that. Luv her!!!
@sterries You didnt see her because that night she was with micael in the hospital and she left him 2 come do the performance. He had fell ill earlier that week. She said that was boring her while she was on stage
REALLY?? Was this around the time Michael was rehearsing for the HBO special?? Oh wow. Thank you so much for the info. Please tell me where u heard this. Thanks!!!
@sterries Micheal was in the hospital... he passed out.. she was with him during the show and that why the never flashed 2 her in the audience she had just arrived shortly b4 her performance. She had said that when they spoke 2 her in a print interview.. i think it was VIBE. but everyone knew he was in the hospital
Oh yes!! The Vibe interview where they had her on the cover with braids? The way she looked in "you want this" video?? I gotta find that magazine!! I read that article sooooo many years ago I don't really remember it. Thanks again for all the info. Now I kinda look at this performance in a whole new light. Can't believe i 4got those two events happened at the same time. Guess im gettin old. LOL XD
PS- To Be Honest Beyonce always looks like she's trying too hard in her performances, crying and whipping her ponytail around like a rabid horse. Janet is WAY more chill and natural...she lets her talent carry her instead of shaking her ass on stage in a leotard.

Im no where near 40 yet, but 40 is the new 30 and a lot of women in their 40s are looking good as hell. That means that a lot of singers that hit 40 is no longer going to fall in the background instead they will bring sexy back and sit these little young singers down, because older women is very sexy. They are very in touch with their sexuality and not afriad of what other people will think of them!

I like beyonce she's awesome, but Janet is very sexy. Janet is more intouch with her sexuality. Janet is not afraid of her sexy side thats how women are the older they get the more comfortable that they get when it comes to being sexy and their sexuality. Beyonce is still a little to young right now to be on janets level!

@nsam your soooooo fkn funny and right wahaha i find beyonce boring too i cant count on one hand the amount of good songs beyonce has..and anyone who can find a man like Jay Z attractive enough to marry is lacking in serious intellect

Whassup with the Janet/Beyonce' comparison? If you like Janet better, OK! If you like Beyonce' better, OK! They are both great, this was one of Janet's best!!!!

Oh god ENOUGH of the Janet/Beyonce comparison. My god, I would NEVER in my life buy a Beyonce CD. WHY? She bores me to death. I don't care if she can sing. The song subject is boring, topics are tiring - not empowering. The weave is boring. The short skirts have been-there-done-that written all over them. Janet is BOLD, sings about sex, dresses like no one I know, created the path for OTHER female artists, dances better than any female today even at 40! Janet isn't IMPLICIT, she's EXPLICIT!!!

Thank u, janet & beyonce cannot be compared. I'm tired of the same routine & leotards beyonce does it's played out!!

Why do people compare Beyonce and Janet, anyway? It's obvious who's more talented; Janet's been around way longer and as set records of all sorts. She's left a dance legacy, much like her brother's although not as big. Beyonce is talented, but releases the same shit every year.

Janet is so sexy in just jeans and a top, not like these bimbo auto-tuned sluts nowadays. Miss Jackson is truely sexy never sleazy and always classy. And this "lovejoydiva" person thats posting here really is a sad, pathetic, bitter old hater!! He/she seems to be at this video alot for someone who supposebly hates Janet. Get a fucking life loser!!! Go listen to your shitty Gaga cd. Janet=Legend, Icon. lovejoydiva=waste of oxygen.

Can anyone spot Jennifer Lopez in this performance? haha She's the one with the black leather jacket to Janet's right for most of the performance.
simplyrich85 2 years ago
@simplyrich85 Sorry hun. That's Kelly. Jennifer Lopez isn't in this performance. The only thing Lopez really did with Janet was the TTWLG video. I dont even think she was in the IF video.

I loved Janet's whole steez the night of this performance. This was the first performance EVER since the Rhythm Nation Era. I was pissed that she didn't win any awards that night, but to me it kinda worked out for her for this performance. She closed the show, u didnt see her the whole night until u saw her on stage. She didnt smile the whole performance. Her whole swagger that night was such a mysterious vibe. It was so cool! She looked amazing! ONLY JANET can werk a stage like that. Luv her!!!
sterries 2 years ago 3
@sterries You didnt see her because that night she was with micael in the hospital and she left him 2 come do the performance. He had fell ill earlier that week. She said that was boring her while she was on stage

@sterries Micheal was in the hospital... he passed out.. she was with him during the show and that why the never flashed 2 her in the audience she had just arrived shortly b4 her performance. She had said that when they spoke 2 her in a print interview.. i think it was VIBE. but everyone knew he was in the hospital
TheKingOfGayMusic 2 years ago
Oh yes!! The Vibe interview where they had her on the cover with braids? The way she looked in "you want this" video?? I gotta find that magazine!! I read that article sooooo many years ago I don't really remember it. Thanks again for all the info. Now I kinda look at this performance in a whole new light. Can't believe i 4got those two events happened at the same time. Guess im gettin old. LOL XD

PS- To Be Honest Beyonce always looks like she's trying too hard in her performances, crying and whipping her ponytail around like a rabid horse. Janet is WAY more chill and natural...she lets her talent carry her instead of shaking her ass on stage in a leotard.
