    This was always one of my favorite videos of her. I loved her vest, her choreography and she was probably in her best physical shape at this time period. Janet and her brother always had the coolest videos. People would literally wait for it to drop on MTV…. She was and still is great! She paved the way for the Beyoncé’s, and Paula Abdul’s of the world and others.

One of the ultimate performers who's video dances and songs live rent-free in my head dealy along with the other greats of her era {Celine, Whitney, Madonna, Gloria, Stevie, Paula) that have somehow gone underappreciated in the recent decades. The Queens like her deserve so much more respect for how they shaped and changed the music industry while opening the doors for the ones that followed after them.
