Janet Jackson, interviewed by Paula Yates on The Tube circa 1987 around the release of "Let's Wait A While". Talking about her career, Jam and Lewis, Prince movies, acts she admires and her family.
She looks so much like Michael here. I also like how she mentions some R&B greats here; Prince, Stevie, Whitney. I miss her so much, I hope she'll be going back on stage and the studio soon. The music world just isn't the same without her.
But I also find it funny that conceptually or purposely around the same time period 1987 to 90, the BAD Era, at the time estranged middle sister Latoya ,also. Had resemblance and comparison in looking very much like Michael, So yea and my opinion yes during different periods of time those 2 sisters did tend to almost have a striking resemblance to michael st different occasions, I do also recall at one point or couple of interviews in the late 90s early 2000s and in some photos latoya did have a little resemblance to sister Janet I think it was even around the time she had got her belly button pierced just like janet had and showed it off in the release of her 2006 album , at one point or another they did look alike , for sure ,it's funny but true, and inevitable due to their jackson genes and looks from both same parents Joseph and Katherine.
I was about 10 feet away from Paula and Janet during this interview at The Tube that day. Later, Janet posed for a picture with my band (who were also appearing) after the performance. Fun times!
I can so see why Bill Cosby wanted her to play Denise originally, then replace Lisa in the second season, she really looks alot like Phylicia Rashard, like they could be related. There were TONS of Big tv roles that Janet turned down for years.
Possibly because she stayed loyal to Jam & Lewis by not working with Prince. Jam & Lewis came out of Princes talent pool & borrowed his sound, to great success.
I would love to see a movie about her. She has lived an interesting life just like Michael. But she's so private, I don't know if it would ever happen.
If indeed 1987 I was born just around this time. Im so thankful I was born when I was. Janet is a constant in my memories and I cannot believe she is still touring with the same passion as ever before
It's funny when the interviewer asks her about topping a succesful album and Janet says, "I think it will difficult but not impossible!" And she did top it! 20 years later, "Rhythm Nation" was one of her biggest selling albums, her most acclaimed album and broke countless records! :)
Yes.. She does a tiny bit. The eyes are the same.. the hair is reminiscent.. (probably same relaxer) Also, I think Michael was living in the Encino family home still back then.. so influence would have been direct... Also, Michael use to like to wear his Mother's accessories.. hence the billie jean jacket.
Wondering if folks only like Janet because of Michael.Thats all people say Janet looks like MJ they are family siblings same DNA.They aren't the only two that look alike in the JACKSON'S family.
this interview was in the year 1987, janet jackson was born in the year 1966. i subtracted 1987-1966 and that is 21 years. janet was 21 years old in this video. i was shocked.she looks so pretty and sounds so young.
1st time seeing this clip and damn do I need 2 say anymore but this.........HELL SHE IS BEAUTIFUL ON HERE,AND SEEING HER NOW 21 YRS LATER HELL SHE IS STILL BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.AND DAMN THOSE CHEEK BONES, SHE STILL HAS NOW,DAMN BEAUTIFULLLL...........ROCK ON JANET LOVE U LOL NO1 FAN BACK DEN AND NOW,NEVER STOPPED.......LOL
+Tavares Franklin She didn't really have enough hits. I'm actually glad she waited until the Rhythm Nation days. She had a bigger more rounded body of work to put on a full show.
She and the label felt she didn't have enough material for a full scale tour. Wise decision. Her Rhythm Nation tour still holds the record for biggest debut tour by any artist in history....
me too. although I always mistaken janet for michael, even though it's so obvious that they have the same last name. But when I found out that they're siblings, I started listening to janet's music, too. After that I always tell people that Michael and Janet are on my no. 1 most favorite artists.
Janet was in her early 20s in this interview and I don't see her acting all slutty and stupid like miley Cyrus... janet really thought her image and did not just throw it away just becayse she was getting older. That proofs that our generation is messed up:/
tmjw69 no this interview was n 87 the same year the bad album was released, these interviews in 87 was to p promote the 1814 Rythem Nation album and her first world tour. But yeah Bad was released 4months apart from 1814 RN album
@@charlesjeffery1155 WHAT?! Janet had this look during the Control era which of course was before Bad. Why would she be promoting RN 1814 in 1987 when that album wasn't even in production. It was released in 1989. Janet had an entirely new look in 1989 during RN era.
@@RP.123 didn't nobody say she didn't, she started putting the key to all of that animal cages in her earrings, 86(is that what you're talkin about, for is "the look"), everybody knows that because it's in the let's Wait awhile video, control was released February of 86, Janet Jackson went into the studio, to start working on the album, Rhythm Nation, in October of 87, because she recorded the song come back to Me, in October of 87, what album did that come out on? The bad album was due to be released in Nov, 87, but, because of the anticipation of the album, they decided to allow it to be released two months ahead of time, September 1st 87, however the bad tour went from 88 to January of 89, so whoo'ewl, I'm really really off by decades, as far as the years😱, last week in Detroit, someone called near a bus driver, who was 31 years old, I'm with a child, a wife, who was pregnant with their second child, and a whole house the people that really loved him, tonight he is dead from the coronavirus, due to the person who coughed on his bus, there are much bigger things, that r going on, right this very second, in the world, to be worried about, and arguing over, I can assure you my friend, instead of, going back and forth, over albums, and looks, from decades ago, just because I made a comment,to someone else and that neither you or I know, and had absolutely nothing to even do with you, ijs🤷 like for real.LoL OMG, Mafucka's be trippin, oware shit, that has absolutely not one fucking thing, to do with them 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😀😀😀😛
I think that the audience was respectful during this performance. People know think celebrities are GODS now and act super crazy. NO man should be getting praise, send that to GOD
Honestly, this was my favorite era of hers. I thought she was prettier then without trying too hard. She was just natural to me and her demeanor seemed more down to earth.
Please 🥺 help me Almighty God Jeh and Say Yes To Turn say yes to my heart and Prayers. I Really seriously need Better times and a Second Chance at Happiness and Be very young and have allot of time .

JANET JACKSON AND MJ FANS PLEASE CHCK OUT HER LATEST VIDEO AND SONG ON MY CHANNEL FOR HER NEW SONG MAKE ME :D xx p.s. she's so beautiful love you forever Janet!
Yea totally agree and thought right away when seeing this interview, is that she so much looks like michael here in this interview, it's the hair line on the side with a little hanging in the front, cept michael had the little curl in the front of his forehead, but I also think michael resembled Janet's hair style during the dangerous Era specifically the Remember the time music video ,look at when janet wore her hair straight and to her shoulders and Michael's hair style in the Remember the time video
@misty2kmisty2k I looked after The Chiefs of Relief - Matthew Ashman (Bow Wow Wow and Adam & The Ants), Paul Cook (Sex Pistols), Duncan Greig and Lance Burman. They did 2 numbers on the show...
@navigator012007 yes they are cool, i've seen pics of them at industry events before there is mutual respect and its so refreshing bc they were in position to be rivals back in 87 but they were talented smart and making history!
