At 16 i got to be an extra in this Escapade video filmed in Universal Studios backlot, i walked up to Janet and introduced myself and she gave me the biggest nice handshake and Janet said she pleased to meet me, i really liked Janet at that time, so it was great she was super nice to me & she did look alot like her beautiful brother Michael Jackson, being on set with her was an awesome experience i never forgot:)
Kimmy Granger Any reason for thinking that happened, or just a gut feeling? ‘Cause I have a metric shit-tonne of reason to DISbelieve Robson and Safechuck.
Its amazing how much people of all generations respect and enjoy music from the 90s, 80s & 70s. The best decades in music history!! Janet is a queen of the 80s!

The good old days Janet was topping the charts, Michael was still alive, Terry Lewis and Jimmie Jam were the hottest songwriters and producers and Paula Abdul was the best choreographer.
@traceydriver9737 look there is no denying janet is a legend, but there is also no denying that she never fully recovered from the super bowl scandal.😔
She is underrated now. She never fully recovered from the damn super bowl incident. At least her music career. Its cazy because at one point you could say she was bigger than michael.😔
I loved this song when it came out on Rhythm Nation in the late 80's and today I love it even more. Rhythm Nation has to be in the top 10 albums ever made.
Rhythm Nation and Teenage Dream are the only 2 albums ever to have 7 songs reach the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Old and New Testament of the Pop Bible ❤️
@Amy Garrido don’t trip they just don’t know good music don’t let it bother u think of it like this some of the best artists like MJ (the best), Janet, Madonna, Elvis etc studied music from other generations and look where it took them. I applaud u kid 👏🏾
Don't forget the 90's though. Right Here Right Now by Jesus Jones. Freedom by George Michael. CAN'T forget Momma Gonna Knock You Out-someone threatened LL COOL J, next thing you know, he's sayin' his MOMMA could knock you out!😂 Can't leave Marky Mark behind!😊❤
so true. i truly delved into the lyrics, mean so much more to us adults now. "been working hard all week, cash our checks"... makes me really appreciate such a feel good song when i heard it playing at the diners. i was really treating myself at the Chili's.
Yes, we had to wait for it to play on the radio, ready to record onto cassette tape and then stand by our VCR waiting for the videos to play on TV. Sat mornings in NZ the music show was on.
I was 9 and this album was dear to me. Escapade is my favorite song off this album. It was my escape song. She helped me escape the abuse and the neglect. If there was a reason to be happy and hopeful it was because Janet's voice was there to keep me holding on to better days.
that's awesome music and dancing always have brought me joy and thats what is great you can turn it on and get some joy from the song and do a dance it helps
Man I don't know about you but I'm in Australia and we lived well below the poverty line, we got beaten, abused, put in an orphanage, passed around foster homes and the one constant I could rely on to get me through was music and school. I always hated home so much, it drove me to love school. Now I'm 45 got kids of my own and I've still got the music, it's groovy man, such horrible memories and the absolute worst years of my life in a time where everyone else loved it. Life goes on mate, now we're adults we get a say in what happens. I know how bad life can be so I choose to make every day a good day, minimum good maximum great outstanding day. Thanks for sharing, I always get so much from other people's stories, it makes me remember I'm not at all alone.
I Have All Of Janet Jackson's Songs In My Xbox 360 I Started Listening To Janet Jackson In The 80,s I Love Her Music And She Can Get Down She Dances So Great.!!!!!!!!
Her catalog goes back 1986 so you have a lot of videos to choose from. The best and most colorful were from Control, Rhythm Nation albums...but her most recent, Made For Now is up there.
Nobody today can top Janet Jackson she’s an iconic performer and singer her voice is beautiful and her dancing is amazing. I love this song it’s probably my fave by her cause it makes me smile even when I’m going through though times. It’s just a feel good song and she has magic when she smiles and dances just like her brother as well. The Jacksons are just special in general this world wouldn’t be the same with out them and the amazing talents they share with the whole world. I was blessed to grow up with the greatest music era ever.
@@deadpaul6415 Don't do Janet. Her impact was massive. She's the reason icons like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Ciara etc can thrive today. She sold over 160 million records (mostly pure sales) and helped revolutionize the music video today. Give credit where it's due
She had total control over her career after 1985, choosing the right people to work with and the right direction for her music and her image and she was in her early '20s the best age of course she was having a ball

She's not forgotten the least bit, she was just inducted into the "Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame ", not too long ago even though it was long passed overdue. All of the today's female pop artists have said how much she influenced them including Beyonce, Cierra, Brittany Spears , and Christina Agullera's imulating asses and paid tributes to her over the years.
Janet was never lost in anybody's shadow, as she still continues to release #1 hits to this day, do ya facts check on The queen. Her current hit "Made For Now" is doing well. You gotta tune in and check it out. She hasn't lost her momentum, she just gave them new girls a chance to try to catch up, while she's still leading the way.
Probably in today's pop scene of new artists she's forgotten about but the people that grew up on her music REMEMBER what that time was like. Rhythm Nation was just the biggest breakthrough album for her. In my opinion it was waaaaay better than Control. "Alright" video when it came to the choreography and visuals will be legnedary forever. Nobody dances like that now. Nobody wants to jam and rock out like the old days.
I haven't heard this song in about 20 years, it's making me smile just to hear it again! Everyone looks like they are having such a good time, and Janet can actually sing!
She had the cutest, adorable, and innocent, smile in her videos, especially this one. You couldn't help but to think she was sweet and nice in real life
I can listen to "Escapade" over and over again like I did as a kid. 😊 Janet's singing and dancing gives me chills. She's just that amazing and talented! 🔥❤
It blows my mind that this song and video are 34 years old! But it still sounds great! Janet’s music has aged like a fine wine, it has gracefully endured the test of time.
Janet Jackson was my first crush when I was a kid. I had her poster by my bed, I had at least two of her CDs. Damn life was definitely simpler back then. The only things I had to worry about was getting homework turned it, and not being late for supper. That was back when we kids still played outside most of the time. On the weekends we'd spend most of the day riding our bikes around the neighborhood. We go to the nearest gas station, and spend our allowance money on snacks and drinks, and then take them back to our friends house, where we'd watch movies and played video games, or we'd go to the park. We did all that without anybody trying to steal us, or harass us in anyway. Then when the sun starts going down, I get on my bike and pedal as fast I could back home. I'd tried to get there before my dad came home from work. Sometimes he would beat me there, other times I'd beat him there, and then sometimes we'd arrive at the same time. He would ask me what I did all day, and I'd tell him as we're walking to the front door. Yeah life was good back then.
“I can’t remember why I was mad a minute ago” I can relate. One time I was mad at my dad about something so I called a friend and after we talked, my friend asked if I was feeling better and I said: “Ya why you ask”
Why aren't music videos this good anymore? I miss videos like ones from Janet or Michael that showcased a lot of awesome choreography with backup dancers with different themes that went along well with the song. Not to mention how much better music was in general than today. Glad Janet is back! No Sleeep is a great track but I hope she has another "Escapade" or "Runaway" feel good track in store for everyone as well.
+C-Wad1984 why because its all about love if someone is in love this is what is what you get a great song and great video its emotional motivation love can do anything thats what i believe i gues the 80s was all love cause it was all good
People pirate music which means that record companies don't have money to hire great choreographers or invest in elaborate sets. They keep their costs low and amp up the sex.
+Ray Mabry Actually it not because of pirating; it's simply because it's business. With the internet, they're making more money than ever through marketing. Record companies can make $100m a pop; naturally they'll try to spend as less money as possible.
KasHCubeD Where's your proof for that statement? Because just about everyone knows what of the hit they took once people gained the ability to share music online and burn CDs. Many labels aren't even around anymore because they couldn't adapt to the change. They've very obviously lost the control they once had. Labels used to be able to charge $20.00 for an album and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Now the average price of a standard album is about $10.00. And people have the option of spending even less money by paying to rent music. I easily could have spent hundreds of dollars a year buying CDs, now with Spotify I only have to spend roughly $120.00 each year to have access to a significant portion of all of the music out there. That's the equivalent to purchasing only 6 albums pre Napster. For many artists, selling 2 million albums was standard, and plenty of artists sold way more than that. People like Shania Twain and Alanis Morissette both sold 30 million units of a single album at one point and that was a rare feat. Now Taylor Swift has sold roughly 5 or 6 million and Adele has sold roughly 7 or 8 million and they're seen as something special. Don't get me wrong, it's successful even by old industry standards but it's that much more of a big deal when most artists are struggling to go platinum. So if you're going to make claims suggesting the industry is on the up and up you need to support them. And I haven't even touched on the fact that most people don't have to pay a dime to listen to an entire album for free. Also what company spends less money once they start making more? That's definitely not the nature of any business I've ever heard of. Most businesses make more money and then invest more in hopes of making that much more. What kind of strategy is that? Invest less earn more? Lol. It's completely counterintuitive and generally doesn't happen.

There is a palpable sense of release and excitement when you hear this song, even if it isn't the weekend. For 5 minutes on your drive home, you can pretend it is....
I agree! This is a great adventure, vacation, weekend really anytime song. I feel so good listening to this song! It VERY refreshing!!! This makes you excited for the future.
+Edwin Sherman exactly. I was cruising down 1-95 listening and feeling like even with everything going on right now at home and abroad, that life was still beautiful. I miss this time in America.
You can't compare Janet Jackson and the reasons why: 1. you can't compare her smile 2. you can't compare her to Beyonce, Lady Gaga, britney, rihanna or even from jennifer lopez 3. you can't compare her to MJ because they love each other 4. you can't compare her to others because her music is TIMELESS I'M GLAD JANET WAS BORN. HER MUSIC NEVER FAILS TO MAKE US HAPPY. I actually use this song whenever pay day is coming.
I woke up this morning thinking about it for some strange reason and I never loved the song as a kid but now I adore it cuz it's literally how I feel about life, good times ❤ 80s gold ✨️
I really hope that this song is in a time capsule!!!! Everything about her and this video was fantastic. She can sing and dance such that anyone would take notice. The production value of this video is like oh come on awesome! She doesn't even need to show skin. Her moves sell this video along with the production value . Her song sells itself because it's great, and her singing is cool and fantastic!!
Man.. Janet was super hot and ridiculously gorgeous. What serious talent vocally and her dancing was unparalleled. Ahh the 90's... Life in general was soo simple and good then. Social media killed it all IMO
when it comes to the jackson family, the most talented is michael and second is janet. but its so cool how all of the jacksons are/were once famous musicians and so talented
@@bp6329 Lol! Evidently her Father thought so. He believed she could of possibly been bigger than Michael when she first started out he made that statement. Alot of good music over the years.
I’m only listening to this song for the first time and my dad bought this album when it came out and he said it was amazing, and here we are and I just love this song loads already, never I have I had thought that’s Janet looks and sound and dances the same as his legendary brother Michael and wow
Soon as the beat opens up and hits that bassy beatswitch at 0:18 it feels me with so much joy! Janet was stunning during this period. Her hair was poppin', skin was glowing, harmonies on fleek & above all her - that voice & that footwork on the dancefloor was out of this world. So blessed to hear this tune on a daily basis at work, never gets old - only gets doper & super hot with age.
One of the best performers of all time. Timeless music. Timeless performances. Songs that live on forever in her and her brother. Never get sick of listening to these songs. Beyond their time. #longlivethejacksons
Por Un México De Libertad watching this Jan 2019. I miss the 80's. Janet & Michael ruled the music charts. wish she comeback make music. she's legendary
@@deadchannel5811 You can not compare today's music with music back in the day when they actually released physical records. Nowadays every single song is released on digital platforms. Drake would not have hade more than 7 top 5 singles from the same album if it was released back in the days of real artists. Today's rap music Is just horrible.

That's because they made music from the heart which makes it more memorable.
Actually her bro was the 80's she came along in the end but no matter what she still a legend made her own way
It's such a delight to be watching this in March 2024. ❤. Remember this on my Tv screens back in the day...
When TV 📺 was free unless you had cable. HBO was the shit back in the day although I love GOT and now HOTD.
Back when I was a senior in HS, this was the most played song in Spring of 1990.
i loved her rhythm nation 1814 album she made
She is a living legend. She has SO MANY HITS. I think she is extremely underrated.
I’d like to know what her career would be like had her brother not have been the most famous person who has ever lived?

I lived it, and if youre American, it was the true definition of genuine freedom unlike this bs they preach today.

I agree
I’m a bitter Nihilist and a disaffected counterculture Revolutionary but this song gives me life
You know what i like most about Janet Jackson? it's how happy she looks when shes performing. Brings a massive grin to my face. Wonderful stuff.
She loves what she does and it really shows. Janet is indeed awesome.
Rhianna looks angry or disconnected in the eyes when she performs live. It kind of annoys me. Janet looks like she loves everything she does.
Beautiful smile
She looks very friendly and kind
Agreed. I love her and Michael's smile
That sound was before Tesla came out with their cars. Gotta give it to Janet. Timeless
The new young people will probably not understand or appreciate how special it was when a new Janet Jackson video came out. The very best.

Rhythm Nation was just the biggest breakthrough album for her. In my opinion it was waaaaay better than Control. "Alright" video when it came to the choreography and visuals will be legnedary forever. Nobody dances like that now. Nobody wants to jam and rock out like the old days.
Times are soo hard right now..This song describes what we ALL need!! We could all use an Escapade!!
Jennifer Graham
I know, right?
I would like to get all political and shizz on you for saying that, but you are right, we really need it 😄
@@thehighlander3241
Totally agree!
What a pretty and most fascinating woman ,hello my darling ?
I haven't heard this song in about 20 years, it's making me smile just to hear it again! Everyone looks like they are having such a good time, and Janet can actually sing!
Beautiful!
She's one of the few artists who can look more comfortable and in control than her backup dancers.
not sure why that's shocking... Janet is very talented. I saw her in concert and it was extremely well done
@@antrolly She can actually sing, as opposed to a lot of current music that is autotuned within an inch of it's life!
She's got such a beautiful voice
It's 2023 and this song still hits! 🔥 🎶
2024
U can say that again 2024 it still is
let's. 2023. and. this. song still hits!🔥🎶

She had the cutest, adorable, and innocent, smile in her videos, especially this one. You couldn't help but to think she was sweet and nice in real life
One of the greatest artist and songwriters of all time
Jimmy Jam nd Terry Lewis wrote nd produced most of her songs nd music
@@LatiTaylor1 she writes the songs with them. Only a handful are written by just Jimmy and Terry.
That title belongs to Mariah Carey
@@miguelcontreras9196 one of the greatest belongs to 100 artists, mariah is in, but if he say the greatest neither of this two belongs there
@@miguelcontreras9196 Janet's songs are better than Mariahs
She looks beautiful in here
yes!!
I can listen to "Escapade" over and over again like I did as a kid. 😊 Janet's singing and dancing gives me chills. She's just that amazing and talented! 🔥❤
This song never fails to make me feel better
Exactly
Congrats to Janet Jackson on being in The Class Of 2019 Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame
hell yeah
@mneisbaar It would be all Black then!
@mneisbaar Name the White ones??
@mneisbaar I'm sorry,THE AMERICAN WHITE ONES?
Listening to this during the corona virus era? May 2020 anyone? I love you!
I am!
Minneapolis!
Yass
I like the light skin Janet
We in here 💕
It blows my mind that this song and video are 34 years old! But it still sounds great! Janet’s music has aged like a fine wine, it has gracefully endured the test of time.
This entire album is a musical masterpiece!!!! Rhythm Nation 1814 should have won Album of the Year!!!
Yes it's incredible
What an amazing vibe
@@wh4tth3h3ll Isn't it??
Won instead of janet?
Totally agree !
Michael & Janet are legendary. True talent, true love and truly rare!
I love her hair in this video. Also she had one of the best smiles ever besides my wife's.
Awwww, that's right. Put your wife above everyone, including Janet lol. Sounds like your wife has one gorgeous ass smile.
Great statement kid
I wanted my hair styled like hers.
good save dude!!!
creekandseminole what a nice thing to say...lucky you
Janet Jackson was my first crush when I was a kid. I had her poster by my bed, I had at least two of her CDs. Damn life was definitely simpler back then. The only things I had to worry about was getting homework turned it, and not being late for supper.
That was back when we kids still played outside most of the time. On the weekends we'd spend most of the day riding our bikes around the neighborhood. We go to the nearest gas station, and spend our allowance money on snacks and drinks, and then take them back to our friends house, where we'd watch movies and played video games, or we'd go to the park. We did all that without anybody trying to steal us, or harass us in anyway. Then when the sun starts going down, I get on my bike and pedal as fast I could back home. I'd tried to get there before my dad came home from work. Sometimes he would beat me there, other times I'd beat him there, and then sometimes we'd arrive at the same time. He would ask me what I did all day, and I'd tell him as we're walking to the front door. Yeah life was good back then.
❤
She has one contagious and beautiful smile, I watched this video and now I can't remember why I was mad a minute ago
💯 You're so right
“I can’t remember why I was mad a minute ago”
I can relate. One time I was mad at my dad about something so I called a friend and after we talked, my friend asked if I was feeling better and I said: “Ya why you ask”
Janet Jackson is just a one of a kind performer no one else has that energy and talent her dancing is out of this world... a true legend
the jackson family is just so amazing.
Umm her brother Michael was pretty good haha
The legend that is Janet Jackson.
after whitney houston successfully brake down the MTV barrier on women equality with men including skin colours as well.
No plastic surgery, no Botox, just God given natural beauty.
this song makes me happy every time.
ME TOO!!
Janet and her brother are the stars of the jacksons..
I love that she made her own way in music...
yeah Jermaine Jackson had a few songs
Clearly the most talented people in music, Michael, Janet, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie, Marlon, Randy, Latoya, & Rebbie
U r 2
Why aren't music videos this good anymore? I miss videos like ones from Janet or Michael that showcased a lot of awesome choreography with backup dancers with different themes that went along well with the song. Not to mention how much better music was in general than today. Glad Janet is back! No Sleeep is a great track but I hope she has another "Escapade" or "Runaway" feel good track in store for everyone as well.
+C-Wad1984 why because its all about love if someone is in love this is what is what you get a great song and great video its emotional motivation love can do anything thats what i believe i gues the 80s was all love cause it was all good
People pirate music which means that record companies don't have money to hire great choreographers or invest in elaborate sets. They keep their costs low and amp up the sex.
+Ray Mabry Actually it not because of pirating; it's simply because it's business. With the internet, they're making more money than ever through marketing. Record companies can make $100m a pop; naturally they'll try to spend as less money as possible.
all good
KasHCubeD Where's your proof for that statement? Because just about everyone knows what of the hit they took once people gained the ability to share music online and burn CDs. Many labels aren't even around anymore because they couldn't adapt to the change. They've very obviously lost the control they once had. Labels used to be able to charge $20.00 for an album and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Now the average price of a standard album is about $10.00. And people have the option of spending even less money by paying to rent music. I easily could have spent hundreds of dollars a year buying CDs, now with Spotify I only have to spend roughly $120.00 each year to have access to a significant portion of all of the music out there. That's the equivalent to purchasing only 6 albums pre Napster. For many artists, selling 2 million albums was standard, and plenty of artists sold way more than that. People like Shania Twain and Alanis Morissette both sold 30 million units of a single album at one point and that was a rare feat. Now Taylor Swift has sold roughly 5 or 6 million and Adele has sold roughly 7 or 8 million and they're seen as something special. Don't get me wrong, it's successful even by old industry standards but it's that much more of a big deal when most artists are struggling to go platinum. So if you're going to make claims suggesting the industry is on the up and up you need to support them. And I haven't even touched on the fact that most people don't have to pay a dime to listen to an entire album for free.
Also what company spends less money once they start making more? That's definitely not the nature of any business I've ever heard of. Most businesses make more money and then invest more in hopes of making that much more. What kind of strategy is that? Invest less earn more? Lol. It's completely counterintuitive and generally doesn't happen.

Janet and the Minneapolis Sound🔥
Still here in 2024! 🎉 👌🏾♦️🔥
There is a palpable sense of release and excitement when you hear this song, even if it isn't the weekend. For 5 minutes on your drive home, you can pretend it is....
it's the kind of where you feel like you are in your own video just singing this and having a great time.
I agree! This is a great adventure, vacation, weekend really anytime song. I feel so good listening to this song! It VERY refreshing!!! This makes you excited for the future.
+Edwin Sherman exactly. I was cruising down 1-95 listening and feeling like even with everything going on right now at home and abroad, that life was still beautiful. I miss this time in America.
So right just a good feel good song
You can't compare Janet Jackson and the reasons why:
1. you can't compare her smile
2. you can't compare her to Beyonce, Lady Gaga, britney, rihanna or even from jennifer lopez
3. you can't compare her to MJ because they love each other
4. you can't compare her to others because her music is TIMELESS
I'M GLAD JANET WAS BORN. HER MUSIC NEVER FAILS TO MAKE US HAPPY.
I actually use this song whenever pay day is coming.
+James Angelo Cruz
Agreed!!
+James Angelo Cruz Here world tour has been postponed because ticket sales are in the toilet.
and so she's actually undergoing surgery you idiot and it will be rescheduled after her surgery and recovery.
if ticket sales don't pick up, the tour will be cancelled.
+darkpill her tour is sold out dickwod it was sold out before her deciding to postpone
I'm not sure why this song came up in my mind. I remember hearing it as a child and now I'm 47. Wow!
I woke up this morning thinking about it for some strange reason and I never loved the song as a kid but now I adore it cuz it's literally how I feel about life, good times ❤ 80s gold ✨️
VEVO should put all of Janet's videos in one place and call it a day! Her collection of videos is hands down treasured masterpieces!
They do, it's just that their blocked in the states, we can just only see like 10, which sucks.
FanofChowder
What's up with that? Retorical of course
Still every order the every month should make once
The choreography is phenomenal in this video! Queen Janet executes each dance routine flawlessly! I love her!
Mr Anthony Thomas held things down and had her at her best. Tina Landon as well
@@LeeDfined Anthony Thomas is the choreographer for this video? What other videos did he choreograph? Thank you for the info
I’m 17 and this song feels brand new
I really hope that this song is in a time capsule!!!! Everything about her and this video was fantastic. She can sing and dance such that anyone would take notice. The production value of this video is like oh come on awesome! She doesn't even need to show skin. Her moves sell this video along with the production value . Her song sells itself because it's great, and her singing is cool and fantastic!!
Can't seem to get enough of this song lately... Had it in my head the last week... And it's June 30, 2021. Anyone else experiencing this right now?
I had a dream last night and heard this song. Woke up and put it on. Girl.
🖐🏼 It and miss you much on repeat every day 🙈 and I'm not ashamed of it 🤭
Ooh so it’s not just me and I’m 23 lol
True Dat. I put this on repeat and clean my house 💯
Man.. Janet was super hot and ridiculously gorgeous. What serious talent vocally and her dancing was unparalleled. Ahh the 90's... Life in general was soo simple and good then. Social media killed it all IMO
Just saw her in concert two days ago and she put on quite a show. She’s still got it at 56
This song slaps! Love me some Janet
My childhood was so good ❤❤❤
arguably one of the most talented siblings ever
when it comes to the jackson family, the most talented is michael and second is janet. but its so cool how all of the jacksons are/were once famous musicians and so talented
How can you not love her she's so beautiful what a performer!!!
she's nothing to write home about.
@@bp6329 Lol! Evidently her Father thought so. He believed she could of possibly been bigger than Michael when she first started out he made that statement. Alot of good music over the years.
Wish music was still like this.
Who’s here in 2024 ❤ Janet Jackson forever
Edit: Omg thank you so much for the likes! ❤
Lovers ❤
Here!
Still here she rocks
I’m listening even though 30 year ago of the song 😮

Thank you Janet for beautiful song. Love❤
Who is here 2019 & STILL think this is beautiful! I love you JANET!💖

Ah yes when music was wonderful, joyful, AND fun.
Janet is timeless. Talent is off the charts. Gotta love her.
It’s “2022” and I still love this song and video 💃🏽💃🏽
I’m only listening to this song for the first time and my dad bought this album when it came out and he said it was amazing, and here we are and I just love this song loads already, never I have I had thought that’s Janet looks and sound and dances the same as his legendary brother Michael and wow
Indeed 😍😎
Big fan of Janet and loved it when she would put out a music video but it was always her hairstyle and choreography that did it for me
This song still slaps on a Friday ❤
It's now March of 2023, and I'm joining you. I'm still checking out Janet's video, TRYING to sing along with her 😃
This song is catchy and has good lyrics. Excellent rythm and the song draws you in and you can't help but listen to this hit song by Janet Jackson.
One of her best songs...and it's amazing how a song can really take you back...
Soon as the beat opens up and hits that bassy beatswitch at 0:18 it feels me with so much joy! Janet was stunning during this period. Her hair was poppin', skin was glowing, harmonies on fleek & above all her - that voice & that footwork on the dancefloor was out of this world. So blessed to hear this tune on a daily basis at work, never gets old - only gets doper & super hot with age.
Fran Cooper makes her face fabulous
Straight JOY!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Don't worry about them they don't have a clue what music is lol
One of the best performers of all time. Timeless music. Timeless performances. Songs that live on forever in her and her brother. Never get sick of listening to these songs. Beyond their time. #longlivethejacksons
That intro is still hard as hell! & her smile is infectious. Life got you down? Give this a listen & turn that around! (Damn, I made a rhyme!) 😂
I love Janet Jackson, this song kills me with emotion, just fascinating. The 80's the most!
Por Un México De Libertad
WORD ! THIS SONG HELP ME STOP SMOKING DRUGS 12 MONTHS CLEANS
I ,sing with you..miiss jp..

Again janet Jackson
Por Un México De Libertad watching this Jan 2019. I miss the 80's. Janet & Michael ruled the music charts. wish she comeback make music. she's legendary
The 90s is my favorite music decade.
Bring back 80's music videos!
When MTV only showed music videos!
Why can't people make any more vids like my idols MJ and Janet. Jackson family rules!

@@FreddieFreethinking Not anymore unfortunately, Drake broke both of there records last month. :(
@@deadchannel5811 You can not compare today's music with music back in the day when they actually released physical records. Nowadays every single song is released on digital platforms.
