Fans were complaining that there were too many audience shots during Janet's performance at the 2018 Billboard Awards so I edited together the original with audience recorded footage so the camera is on her the entire time.
....i was very moved by her walk to the stage....i can tell she has been watching Naomi ....and i saw the episode when Tyra showed her how to walk when Janet was on her talk show....her walk to the stage was just so smooth and had such subtext...
Janet’s music is eclectic. She draws from all genres even ones from all over the world that we never hear. That’s why her music is so unique. She was the 1st woman and woman of color to do such a thing and be successful. She did lay the foundation for Bey and every other pop, rnb, alternative woman and woman of color to be on that high platform. Her music videos are art. She learned from greats, her brother lived down the hall. Her words. And Bey learned from her. Let’s not be fans that pit these beautiful talented women against each other. Let’s acknowledge and celebrate. They each offer something special. Janet can sing live. In fact she can sing live and dance. She does it often. Additionally, ALL, artist lip sync at some point...when they are on the Beyoncé level. All that touring, if she sang all the time she would have nodules for days. That voice would be wrecked. They all use it to protect their instrument. Look it up for urself.
@@CuirPhotodotNet I always saw it the othet way around; I always saw Janet in Naomis walk. Janet been in this entertaiment business longer than Naomi. Janet was literally born in this industry.
The Jacksons literally defined music from the 60s, right through to the early 2000s. Even Britney and Nysnc were all choreographed by a guy who was trained by Michael. It jumps generations
I really wish she would have brought the same heat here she brought to her tour... This was her perfect opportunity to blow everyone away and give them a much needed reminder... She blew that opportunity imo
@@ExtravertmE yes, but it can be because of her age. She gave birth the years ago. Its still stunning for a dancer but she isnt the same as she was back in 1993 for her album janet. Its all about the age...
Yeah the fat ones did great and were able to keep up with the Queen. I liked seeing the body diversity on this stage, shows that even big people can do intense choreography.
Learning Thru The Insanity by the looks of your picture you are pretty fat too. lets see you do half the dance moves that the heavier dancers were doing without having a heart attack. make sure you put it up on youtube.
Bobby Samuels i agreed with everything but the end.... sis . I’m a Janet stan (fan) and do think she better at Michaels at things. But it’s all preference and Michael was far better dancer than her
The Jackson family doesn't believe that everyone has a place in heaven , they believe that only the annointed are of that flock. Their mother (Catherine Jackson is one of Jehovah's Witnesses) (Prince also died as one of Jehovah's Witnesses)
@SUPERNOVA UNEEK who judged anybody? Heaven is known to be a happy place so not why assume someone who has made me happy went to heaven. It's what I want to believe and you can't change that sorry pal
Mimilamb4life The hot guy you realize being an artist encompasses a lot more talent than just being born with a technically amazing singing voice right? Janet is an artist who writes, produces, acts, and has inspired countless other artists.
Yea they should stop cutting the scenes to the audience because it ruins the performances...this looks more amazing since the focus was on Janet the whole time...this is how it should be.
2:34- 2:38...love how she does that walk to get back to front of center stage. People don't realize how intricate her performances truly are...even the walk is timed and measured down to a T.
I love the fact that she finally gave Throb a performance it deserved, so sad that it wasn't a single when .janet came out all those years ago, such a great song and potential hit!
@@Bennome I could never find her SNL Throb performance in good quality, but it is absolutely amazing! The Velvet Rope Tour performance is more focused in presenting the dancers, but I like it too.
QUEEN!!!!! I love how her stage style looks couture like Prada or some shit. it's not hyper sexualized w/short tight and shiny shit..........she is current comfortable, cool and in mad CONTROL!!!!
It’s far beyond time to say it. There’s no Beyoncé without Janet. There’s no Arianna without Janet. This phenomenal woman paved a golden road for anyone with God given talent, a rock solid work ethic & an Original style 😳. From the beginning Janet showed us that you could be whoever the fuck you wanted to be, regardless of family & social expectations. You could be fierce & take ‘Control’. You could also be soft & vulnerable ‘Any time, any place’. Thank you Queen, for guiding young girls who grew up along side you... it helped.
@@jrs3617 Among the lates 90s and 2000s teeny-boppers, Britney was the most explicitly inspired by Janet and Britney inspired futute performers including modern kpop and Ariana Grande.
@@cubamatisse Granted Britney and those after her were inspired by Madonna definitely. But Madonna's influence is Different from Janet. When I see Britney performing "Crazy" during her Crazy 2k Tour with vocal grunts and inflections and with the extended chair dance break, saying "Is that the end", that's clearly her doing Janet's "Miss You Much", like it's the same "Is that the end" thing. "Anticipating", "Lonely", "Slave 4 U", "Boys" her performing style, it's very Janet. Like I said, Britney was very inspired by Madonna, but a majority of her style is Janet influence.
@@occmglxy8251 that’s very true, thank you for helping me understand. Unfortunately where I live Janets music was kind of neglected because of Michaels controversy so I never really got to enjoy it on tv or radio but I’m going to listen to The Velvet Rope tonight!
I will never tire of this performance. Miss J was on FIRE and the audience was with her at every beat. When they all shout “JANET” after she asks “What’s my name, ya’ll” at 2:31 and she then gives that AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT, BITCHES air snap in response, I always laugh. I like to imagine she’s giving notice to all the pop tarts that followed to reco’nize her greatness. Lol A big thanks to the person who uploaded this gem.
Yasssssss. and biggups to the person who uploaded this...I think the industry is still pissed at Janet for the superbowl fiasco and they did this intentionally to make her look bad...but we all know Janet is way better, than what they did to her on television and this video proves it.
The truth of the matter is , before anyone does comparisons of other female artists to Janet Jackson who Is their Blueprint, Take a look at THE JANET JACKSON MTV ICON Ceremony in 2001, Beyonce (and the other ladies of Destiny's Child), Aaliyah Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez ,Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and every male and female entertainer of relevance at the time credited Janet as their inspiration for getting into the business.. This show can be watched on RU-vid as evidece . And just think , Janet is old enough to be the mother of all of her dancers. They have to keep up with Janet , INCREDIBLE !
As a teenager during the 90’s, what an awesome time, and an amazing array of different artists defined this era. Janet being one of the best. I’ll love her always ❤️❤️❤️
Great Performance!! "Nasty" and "Throb"!! Sometimes contains the elements of "When We Oooo", "If" and "Burnitup!" Janet gathered many dancers!! She is so attractive that I definitely love her so much!! Thanks for performing Billboard 2018!! "Throb" was fantastic! I love her so much!
Just remember the Jackson's created the best female entertainer and best male entertainer in history. Michael reigned overall but janet was right beside him. Brother and sister, king and queen of pop. Respect!
The audio quality is AMAZING in this clip. And it is amazing to see all Janet :D That said, what the original clips with the cut aways to the audience showed me......was how much people really do love the Jan. Janet Jackson is far more popular and loved than folks allow in media. And it is high time they highlight that.
The "If" dance interlude elevated this entire number. That video had Janet's sexiest dancing ever. "If" and "Love Will Never Do Without You" are her two most amazing videos, imo.
3 years later and this video is still being looked up! That's Janet for you! And to the people who voted a thumbs down..........do you have any idea how beautifully edited this video was?!?!?!?!? I HATE audience cutaways so THANK YOU for this video!!!!
I haven’t decided if this is in my top 5 Janet television performances yet HOWEVER it’s definitely in my top 10. The biggest reason is the fact that she used the whole stage to her advantage with so much assertion!
I'm a die hard Janet fan, at 14 concerts over 7 tours, having said that, I love Janet and I enjoy Beyonce, the issue I have is we as people of color have to stop thinking there can only be one. Let each and every last single one of us shine in our own light. Im proud to see a Beyonce, I'm overjoyed to see Janet still doing the damn thang. We as people of color need to own all of our greats and not pit them against each other, that's a racist set-up designed to tell us there's only enough room for one Black at a time meanwhile plenty of Whites shine...tokenism is real
john how does this apply to minorities that dont watch tv? its not good to make a comment about an entire race based JUST on somethng u saw on youtube.
THIS is how the editing should have been. 100% focus on Janet and no focusing on the irrelevant ass audience. I don't know who the editors were of this broadcast but they sure as shit need to be fired from editing TV broadcasts. They have no business having access to computers or editing software if they can't keep focus on the artist,especially on Janet receiving the highest honor of the whole night.
OMG.....Janet still reigns supreme! I love this on so many levels! Her dancers look like REAL people! She still has all the moves, the voice, the beauty of being Janet! Guuuurrrrrl! I'm so glad to see you shine like the diamond you have always been!
Micheal and Janet are the best in the world I love you Janet I also lover Micheal can't no female can touch Janet I LOVE YOU....I LOVE YOU MISS JANET JACKSON
@@ModernGoddess81 What does this have to do with Janet? You people are insane and obsessed with conspiracies. Dam can 2 blk women shine at the same time, y always put us against each other? Its bs and lies
I was about to cry when when we ohh started playing and definitely cried when throb began!! This girl is amazing and she is finally deciding to showcase her brilliant material!! There is hope for China Love
It always amazes me when Janet belittles her abilities as a dancer. She's always the only one who hit's every count with perfection and precision. She never misses a beat. Not to say anything bad about her incredible dancers, but I guess when you've done it for three and a half decades, muscle memory has your back. She is a fascinating dancer in my opinion. Just love her!
This is far way better than the one aired on tv. THANK YOU so much for editing this! It really shows what an amazing dancer and performer she is! Grazie from Rome, Italy! :)
I've ALWAYS HATED when directors continuously cut away to audience members. I could care less about them. IT'S ABOUT THE PERFORMER AND THE PERFORMANCE!!!!!!! And, when you have extensive dancing, choreography and dancers, that makes capturing THAT all the more important. The ONLY time it's cool to show the audience in my book is BETWEEN performances, NOT during them. Thank you for making this video!!!!!!!
Seeing Janet is for me ....Like, you now, seing an old lover, Girlfriend that parted ways with you. You have never broke and the sparks are still there. You heart still jolts everytime you see her.
How the hell did she not pass out wearing that heavy sweater? Kept thinking she would take it off at some point. Still love her and great to see that she still GOT IT.
