"If" and "Again" are my favorite Janet Jackson songs, and they're so different. Her All For You album also has a lot of really lovely songs. Incidentally, since you love the vibe of the music, you should check out Madonna's album Bedtime Stories. Many of her songs from that era had a similar loungey R&B sound and I think that music and her Babyface collaborations made the best use of her voice.
This was called the “Janet” era. This era for her was THE era. Janet’s vibe is different than Mike’s. This era lasted from 93-95. Janet changed the game with this album. The first song you reviewed was during the Rhythm Nation era! Janet held down the game up to mid 2000s when the super bowl hit and she was dragged and pretty much blackListed. This song stayed number one for about 4-5 months straight!
Yes, these guys are people Janet considers to be her friends. They are also members of her dance crew that have performed with her for many years,at least ten yrs at the time of this video.😉😉
• All For You was #1 on the Hot 100 for 7 weeks in 2001. • Janet Jackson performed at the most talked about Super Bowl ever in 2004 • RU-vid was created because of this Super Bowl event So yeah, she was a huge star in the 2000s :)
Radley Atticus you betta speak those facts. Had the highest first week sales for a female that year with All For You in 2001 selling over 605,000 copies.
Yea how can people that don’t know music make these videos. I mean he is kool just odd to me. You don’t have to know her music to know she was an artist.
It is a skit. There's a VHS Janet Jackson tape that has a lot of behind the scenes making-of clips. I remember them discussing how the guy would reach for the tape and Janet would "snap" it away. Even scripted, it's entertaining. Her full concerts are great too with lots of production, sets, and choreography. I think you said it best with her music being a "vibe".
I sooo love you are doing more Janet. Please please react to "I Get Lonely" and "The Pleasure Principle." Vocally Janet is amazing on "I Get Lonely" and performance "The Pleasure Principle " is the best dance video of all time for a female artist. I could go on and on with Hits you could choose from Janet. Side note those skits are real. She is very close with her dancers and they are called "The Kids." Also react to "Scream" her duet with Michael. You hear her voice in a more aggressive tone and she goes toe to toe with Michael. You will be blown away by that video. Oh and Janet was very big in the early 2000's. Her album All For You was released in 2001 and indeed Debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart with biggest 1st week sales for that year. She also had the biggest song with "All For You" of the year spending 7 weeks at #1. Janet started in big in 1986 and she Ruled the entire 90's. Check her stats. There was not a bigger artist in the 90's. One love my brother. Love your reactions.

NASTY BOYS, IF, and ALL FOR YOU are 3 Big Janet songs.😍Janet has a multitude of Hits!when this album reched it's peak Janet was finally bigger than Michael. 😳The girl in this video with her hair pushed up and the black tank top is Jennifer Lopez before her first album when she was a dancer.😋
I had to subscribe to you as soon as I saw the song choice! I’m a HUGE Janet fan. This song was her first single from the Janet. Album . That whole album is amazing. All of the dancers in the video were her friends, and she often referred to them as “the kids”. The video was directed by her then husband Rene’ Elizondo Jr. the track itself was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and samples “Papa Don’t Take No Mess” by James Brown.
Do Janet’s live performances!! Rhythm Nation live at the Velvet Rope concert and That’s The Way Love Goes/ If live at the MTV awards!! Great reaction dude! Thanks!!
1. Black cat sounds like will be up your alley. If you want a belter! 2. Also check out What About That…she did a live VHI performance that was fire and talked about for days after. 3. Scream is both belting out. Check that one out too.
Honestly you need to watch more Janet she is equally as iconic as her brother but in her own unique way. Sooooo many iconic songs & videos that you need to see.
Definitely do more Janet. React to “Trust A Try.” You’ll definitely like that one! 🔥 she was inspired by 2000s rock and listened to a lot of Papa Roach during that time. Also, “Just A Little While” which is like a funk rock vibe. You’ll love those!
One of her best!! Great that you liled this song. Janet's vocals are verstile, smooth, harmonic but she also has a rock voice - check out either Black Cat (#1 song) or Scream (duet with Michael).
Her voice is very sweet. Angelic. And she has lots of range. She writes and co-produces her songs. Check out : Again I Get Lonely (NOT the remix the regular one) Rhythm Nation Anytime, Anyplace
Funny thing is: You like the production - it's Janet's long time collaborators Jimmy Jim & Terry Lewis who coincidentally produced "No More Drama" by Mary J. Blige. The more Janet you see, the more you'll see the range of songs like "If" and "Black Cat", the more you'll see what she can do with her voice and songwriting.
Am I going to have to join discord just to recommend Black Cat by Janet to you? Cause I'll do it! I'm serious about my Janet! 😆 and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Great pick, I'm checking you out. Understand this is a vibe. They are working but straight chill'n. You don't have to over analysis. Just take the ride and enjoy.
Have you notice Jennifer Lopez there? Jlo used to be Janet back up dancer, How far & big Jlo became. Great video thank you, I simply love Janet for 40 years 😘
Jeniffer Lopez in this cracks me up, lol. Please do IF after this. Was my favorite song for the longest time and I used to practice the dance routine every day all day haha. Again, Janet is softer but that's also because she sounds like Michael when she belts like on songs like Black Cat and others.
Janet's music is very versatile, she does Rock (Black Cat from her Rhythm Nation Album) , POP, Dance, HIP HOP, and R&B. She is the only Artist in History to have Grammy nominations in 5 genre's. Your assumption about her music is incorrect, She was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for Black Cat.
as a kid from the 80s I obviously grew up on all the icons like Michael, Janet, Madonna, Mariah. But between Michael and Janet I have to say I have always been partial to Janet's albums as a whole. She has never released a bad album and her category is very diverse. her tours were always great as well. Also, the video was shot that way intentionally and was a skit. Her then husband directed this and a few other of her more iconic videos from this era. Don't know if you're aware she and Michael did a song together, Scream. Fantastic video.
My first time watching and enjoyed. Loved Janet from the '90s forward definitely check out her documentary on a&e and lifetime it's kind of discusses how she got erased from history when she's the only one in the family to have comparable success to her and usually successful brother. I would check out scream which is Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson together, if, and when I think of you. I think Janet's resonance is more social and cultural in bringing activism into pop music whether it be feminism or social inequities she really popularized that model and developed a lot of the image for a lot of the r&b singers that are out these days. Definitely about her lyrics and harmonies.
This one is such a vibe song. I'm curious.....did you notice JLo? Back when she was still working mostly as a dancer like with the Fly Girls on In Living Color, before her fame. Crazy lol
Janet is not to be underestimated. Her #1s tour was so amazing to catch live 🖤 Edit: she's also the baby of that very famous family, that probably had a lot to do with her understated vibe. BIG ASS shoes to fill would make anyone a lil intrepid
When you watch and review "If" watch the full DANCE version please!!! It's freaking amazing!!!! People tend to watch the original and it cuts so much of the hot dance moves in the full dance version
You should listen to anything from The Velvet Rope. That to me is not only her best album, but one of the best albums period. Every song SLAPS Personally, I don't feel any other Janet album comes close to that, though I am still exploring more of her discography.
Are you just really discovering Janet? Oh man, you have so much work and catching up to do. Janet is a chameleon and is definitely different than Michael, and I think a lot of that was intentional because she tried to separate herself from him as much as she could but they still are alike in some ways. The second single from this album, _If_ , is what you would need to watch next to see the performer Janet at the top of her game and her dancing skills. It's an excellent song and video.
Good job reacting to Janet’s biggest single. It’s humorous to see your reactions to the tough guys rocking out to this killer vibe. This song was everywhere back in 1993! It was an awesome time! p.s. your genuine reactions made me subscribe to your channel! Try “No Sleeep.”
Anton, love to see your reactions...just subscribed, I'm a new fan. Have you ever reacted to olivia newton-john? I know you have heard the grease songs and probably physical...but try A Little More Love, Magic, Twist of Fate or an obscure hit from the mid 80s called Soul Kiss. They are all really good songs...you might enjoy them. Stay safe, thanks for the work. Hasta Lugo for now amigo...
Check out Pleasure Principle, If, Love will never do, Rhythm Nation, The Knowledge I could go on and on she’s been in the game for over 40 years 10 number 1’s, 27 top 10’s each hit came along with some of the best videos and choreography in history. Michael is legendary but Janets is equally legendary.
Hi Anton---thanks for the great reaction videos. You are doing a great job! I’m a HUGE Janet and Whitney fan. So anything by them is always awesome! I know you are just discovering Janet, but she is one of the greatest pop/R&B/Dance female artists of all time. I encourage you to continue going down the Janet catalog journey. It will be a joy! Albums from Control, Rhythm Nation, Janet, Velvet Rope, All For You, the list is endless. Whitney Houston: National Anthem Super Bowl 1991 (Whitney is unmatched!)
