This, to me, is one of the most beautiful songs ever written - from the meaning of the lyrics, to the musical arrangement, to the chorus, to Janet's sweet voice singing it,... Just beautiful.
I was 4 years old when this song was released..With that being said I find myself wondering where did all of the time go.For many of us 80s babies most of our life's has already passed ..Life is short and precious..
Let's Wait Awhile -- such an iconic song! Beautiful ballad from the groundbreaking Control album. Janet telling us that it's okay to wait awhile and that there's no need to rush. A rare message these days. #EmpressJanet
This song made me cry when I first heard at the age of 6. She had such a sweet innocence and this song also encouraged me as a teenager to not rush into anything my heart and body was not ready for. This generation will never know or understand that music was meant to have a positive long lasting impact on our lives. Love Janet so much for her influence on my childhood and for breaking boundaries and making history.
Taimak!! One of my 80s heroes from the first day I viewed the opening of THE LAST DRAGON. Love Janet Jackson and this song was absolutely timeless. Long live Janet and "Bruce Leroy"!!! These days were the best and nothing will ever come close in the future.
Yeeess! I was wondering when someone was going to mention Taimak from the Last Dragon with his fine self! I used to want to be Janet and this video with Taimak really made me want to be her even more! Love me some Taimak!
This song is so beautiful, like a lullaby, it makes me cry, sometimes, but I understand this song, and it just.. And on my darkest days..like today,this song just makes me think about life, ya know, and.. I don't know. It's just.. Amazing. Janet, I just wanna say, I love you with all my heart
This song is part of my foundation of music knowledge. I get teary eyed thinking every time I hear this song. Teary because of it’s nostalgia and because of it’s message and Janet sounds so sweet on the record!!
Janet Jackson will always be the Queen of Pop. I was in love with Janet Jackson since the good times. When I was a young man . Now I'm 52 I still go to work and tell people that's my girl. Every time Janet Jackson song came on the radio. Janet if you read this I love you more than anyone in this world. And you're a very good actor in all the movies That you were in. What I'm saying is you are the sweetest lady that has more heart than most women in this world. 😘
This video aged so gracefully. To me this is art. That old school grainy classy look is crazy beautiful now. The way the video pushed the song was masterfully done.. my all time favorite Janet record
One of her best Ballads. In the late 80's she Played @ The Summit in Houston. and went with one who i fell in L with. Heavy D and It's Alright is one which we saw. Unfortunately when she passed away I Knew because But Life goes on
Thank you for all the memories you’ve shared with us over the years, you and your music will always remind me of my momma, her singing and cleaning the house, the smell of pine and your amazing voice is extremely therapeutic for me, I luv you momma and ms. Janet.
What ENTAILS the YOUNGER GENERATION?🤔🤨 Cause, CHILE..... when I say I was CHARMED OUT MY PANTIES..😳.I WAS CHARMED OUT MY PANTIES🥺...CAN'T MK THIS UP! 😭😢These men that's PLAYERS are cunning, charming, sneaky, quick on their toes & disguise who & what they're bout !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😤😫
Omg I remember being a kid in the 80s hearing this song. Janet was just EVERYTHING and she still is to this day a real icon. I love this song I wish I could go back to the 80s for 1 day
Her vocals has just the right kind of whisper to captive an audience Her music is built on crisp airy purrs and her voice using a never ending spectrum of sounds and nuances.she knows her instruments working it strengths and weakness to best effect.
This is on my top 10 songs of all time! I heard this song on the radio just after my grandma passed away and i started bawling my eyes out in the car.. this song hit me and still makes me think of my Nanna 🥲🥲
I wish I could turn back the clock to the eighties everything was magical movies , tv shows and music especially this beautiful song by a beautiful woman Janet Jackson, at least I will always have the amazing memories to always cherish , I’m 54 years old now but I can remember those times like it was yesterday ❤
Watching this video is a solid reminder of how great Janet was and still is as a singer and performer. We need to clean up the music industry. The same industry which was always a dependable shining light one could turn to during difficult times.
@@isaacortiz4617 Despite what Janet said about Justin in recent tell all documentary. We all know she was wrongfully crucified for wardrobe malfunction during Super Bowl halftime show. Though she apologized Janet's illustrious career steadily went into decline, while Justin's exponentially skyrocketed. It's ironic through RUclips (which came to be after this controversial incident) that people are refreshingly rediscovering 'MS. JACKSON IF YOUR NASTY' almost forgotten greatness.
Every time I listen to this song, it always takes me back to the 80's. The best music and the best time of my life. Janet is one of my faves and this song is just timeless🎶😊
I’m very grateful to have grown up with Janet’s music in my life. I feel it was influential in reaffirming my core value system into and through my adult years. This song in particular is extremely nostalgic for me in that way. ❤️🔥🎶
Man it’s something about the way Janet looked and how she said , “I promise I’ll be worth the wait” @ 4:50 through 4:55😍😍😍😍 In 1987 when I was 9 when this video was released it gave me this feeling I still can’t describe today in 2023 as I’m watching it now!!!😊😊
A true classic the song will never get old I'm still listing to Let's Wait Awhile in 2024 & beyond I have this cd the album and all your cd's we love you ❤Janet Matt true fan age 42 located and live in Norfolk, Virginia United States....
Oh, this song makes me a teenager all over again! This a powerful song that vibrates throughout the universe of what the female human soul is.....thank you janet for your wisdom.
This was such an important song especially then. Genius. I wish she sang more like this. Sure she’s not a belter but her voice is wonderful in this type of song. Just perfect.
Hands down my favorite song by Janet (though she had a lot of classics) plus one of the most beautiful ballads of all time! Quality never has an expiration date! 👌🏼
Hey Janet! This is Rob from London,UK. I am your age and my birthday is actually the day after your’s. I have been a fan throughout your career. Not just for the unrivalled music you have blessed us with, but also for giving us you as a person. I would hate to be famous but you sacrificed your privacy to send us your God given gift of talent and have done so in such a dignified and gracious way and of course, let’s not forget your stunning beauty. The 80s sound of Loose Ends-Hanging on a String and early Jam and Lewis productions such as SOS Band and Change using the 808 drum machine is making a huge comeback here in the UK and I would love it if your next project and output embraced that awesome sound. Rob
My beautiful family especially our cousin listened to this song and now have been married 15 years!!! Thank you Miss Janet!!!! Love rules!!! But still some things are worth waiting for!!!!

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Well said
God bring these days and music back please!!!! Best days ever 😢
Donald m Campbell janet jackson lets wait for a while
Can we talk about how beautiful Janet looks in this video. She really been fine her entire life.
Hard to believe that Janet is turning 58 this week (the 16th) Still looking beautiful like when she was in her 20s.

So you noticed it😂
She's always been gorgeous in my eyes. Even on Good Times when I was a kid watching her.
I always loved the key in her hoop earring.

One of the greatest ballads of all time!

"Again"..Ranks number one in my book..
Underrated comment
Yes !! By far ! Janet is on point with this classic
This, to me, is one of the most beautiful songs ever written - from the meaning of the lyrics, to the musical arrangement, to the chorus, to Janet's sweet voice singing it,... Just beautiful.
When you realize 1986 was thirty eight years ago now, how time flies! Enjoy the rest while we can folks.

No lies detected there!!! #GoodDay/Night & #GODBLESS
You never realize or understand till that time is gone and it does fly!
I was 4 years old when this song was released..With that being said I find myself wondering where did all of the time go.For many of us 80s babies most of our life's has already passed ..Life is short and precious..

I was born in 1984 and totally remember my mom singing along to this song when it would come on Vh1 all the time! Such a great song !
Her vocals has just the right kind of whisper to captive an audience
Her music is built on crisp airy purrs and her voice using a never ending spectrum of sounds and nuances.she knows her instruments working it strengths and weakness to best effect.
I used to love this song when I was younger. Brings back soo many memories. Love this era of Janet.
