she was so extremely nervous here. You can Def tell cause she looked at him the entire time. She said she was so nervous she got sick bk stage and didn't know if she was going to be able to go through with it. This is why he told her to just look at me and forget about everybody else. She did it. You could here the nerves in her voice too. He did a great job.
Being a light lyric soprano Janet's voice has a lot of maturity here. I'm sick of people claiming that she can't sing because she's not another Aretha.
Leila Békélé I’m a Janet fan, but I agree. The boys got most of the talent. They could all sing, dance and/or play instruments-Michael was just the best. Janet’s a great entertainer, but she’s never been a great singer. Mike was out singing grown folks at the age she was in this clip. Lol
She was so young and cute...why people are making comments about her singing is beyond me, she was just a child with a child-like voice. Plus singing is not about how loud you can get or how powerful it's about pitch and staying on key.
Janet does not have a strong voice nor a big vocal range, what got her where she today is being a Jackson, having a huge personality and being an amazing entertainer, and she could DANCE her ass off. Her voice would not have been enough if she wasn't also talented in other areas. No one is being mean, get real. She could not sing all that amazingly, but she's amazing overall.
@@imaginativemind6740 Um, just because she does not scream or do all the vocal acrobats that people like you may think is important or constitutes singing doesn't mean she can't sing. Apparently she can she's won awards for singing and an Oscar Nomination for her singing. Check the facts boo...and go listen to Black Cat, or Scream with her brother and check her range. Also check her background vocals that she does all on her songs and notice the beautiful harmonies she makes. And if she got where she is because of her name, think again boo, she worked hard, vocally and physically - and if that where the case, why aren't her other family members as successful who have recorded. Success comes with determination, choosing the right song and projects and Janet has put in the work in all area's...
She sounded good for the age of 10 or 11 and she already had rhythm... I think thats why her harmonies are so good because shes been doing it since she was 7
@@PeanutBuddaPie That never stopped Foster Sylver or the Debarges. As much as Joe was making them practice, she should've been able to🤷♀️Besides, even when she got older, she still couldn't sing all that great, she could carry a tune(there is a difference between actually having the vocals to SING and just being able to carry a tune). But I admit, she could really act, even as a child!
I did, I wish someone had recorded me as teenager, saying that Janet would be a megastar one day. Those closest to me knew that I said Janet would be huge!
They all seem to be very shy and self conscious about themselves.. maybe that’s Joe Jackson’s fault.. He ran the family w an iron fist and wasn’t afraid to use it..They are good looking but ruined their looks with so much plastic surgery .
ralph carter is an old friend of mine. he told me that when they; he & janet, performed "you don't have to be a star"; on "good times".. marilyn mc coo/ billy davis jr. were in, that evenings', audience; to give support/ show approval to them. true.
I think that Penny had a crush on Michael and JJ more so Michael. Didn't Janet Jackson say that her character kissed Micheal Evans in one of the episodes?
Lovingme 2017 he sang that by Stevie Wonder... not O’Bryen. O’Bryen covered it also in the early 80’s, remember this was still the 70’s so Michael sang it before O’Bryen did
Actually, all of the Jacksons' voices were variations on a theme so to speak. They had a common tone and cadence which helped with blending and all of that.
May 16: Happy birthday Singer-Actress Janet Jackson; MTV Icon Award, 12 American Music Awards, 5 Grammy Awards, 13 Soul Train Music Awards, 10 Billboard Music Awards. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload / video, janetman1. Blessings
Superrooper Rall It was autocorrected as sung because because I use sung a lot when I’m looking fo un sung episodes online. There’s no need to be disrespectful at all. People make grammatical errors all the time and it doesn’t make them an idiot. Please grow up.
Reginald Durley Willona worked at a clothes boutique and Florida was a seamstress. Most people in the ghetto could style on a budget. Also with the kids being adults they all worked.
@@Michelle-pn9xt My age is in the same range as Michael Evans (Ralph Carter) and I worked as a teen during the 1970s. I bought my own clothes in high school because we had summer employment and worked after school. My teen years were similar to the Evans family and my mother also made some of our clothes. Dressing nice wasn't hard because we used layaway to pay things off instead of credit cards. I can relate very well to 'Good Times' because it was my real life🤗
@@birdchoyce1268 Janet Jackson was probably 12 in this episode, so she would not have been working. That was my point. I do not know any 11 or 12 year olds who have jobs.
@@Michelle-pn9xt The original comment was about the 'Evans Family' and I spoke primarily about those three children. Willona had a decent job at a boutique (access to clothes, discounts and layaway). I understand what you are saying but many people who lived in the ghetto dressed nice but not expensive🤔
@mscocacola24241..When it comes to Janet there is a difference between an honest opinion and just plain hatred..I love Janet and I will not allow her to be disrespected just because of evilness and bitterness that people have towards her for whatever reason, Real Janet Fans know What I'm talking about.
To actually see Michael and Janet singing together i know that put her in the mind of her own bruthas especially the one and only Michael Jackson fr fr
⛪You Don't Have To Be A Star (To💝 Be In My Show). Janet 😍you have🎊 become a star and🎉 beyond. So proud😃 of you. JANET FOREVER!!!! Good Times. No.1 black sitcom of all time.
Penny Penny Penny you sound like a beautiful singer and I love it when you and Michael sing together I'm never gonna to stop listening to this song because I love love love yoll so so much 💝💝😍😍💖💖💕💕🙂🙂🙂
Aww, Janet!! She has the same tone she does now, although it's obviously developed a lot since then. The kid who plays Michael sounds a lot like Janet's brother Jermaine on the early Jackson 5 albums.
This is a prime example of the best singers don't always make the best entertainers. From this clip you would have never thought Janet would be an international superstar and Micheal would never even have a hit single.
I remember watching this episode when it first aired and thinking how talented Michael was. And just realizing now how Janet's voice hasn't changed all that much.
This is so cute she was so nervous.. I just saw Janet at the together Again tour 2024 . And it's so cute she still dances like this to this very day were she shakes her shoulders that's her signature move so cute 🥰❤
It's like on some of these sit comes they always discovered somebody's hidden talent. Although we knew Janet could sing before that. I guess he hung up his shoes. Just an act on t.v. because I never saw him singing after this. The Janator even showed out more after Good Times was over. Daaang Janet stayed busy!!
Ralph Carter singing with Janet Jackson wonderful episode and once again J.J. wasn't there he was in New York like previous episode with The Rent Party when J.KJ. J.J. was in St. Louis
Those were d decent era, when kids could sing matured songs without any negativity attached. if it were now, they'll be labelled loose. Cute janet with that rosy cheek.
