Janet Jackson - The Pleasure Principle | REACTION 

This video is iconic because so many female artists recreated scenes from this video in their choreography esp the chair scene

I'm glad you been reacting to Janet's music. The industry blacklist her music for yrs and tried to erase her legacy. I'm glad for people like you reminding people of her impact and introducing the new generation to miss Jackson if your nasty. A quote from her song nasty

This was Janet breaking free from The Jacksons fam, coming into her sexy era. She struggled with weight and romance issues during this time but she inspired every female artist out there. So many of the dance moves even with the flashdance footloose vibe were still quintessentially "Jackson" Janet and Michael were the first to do many iconic dance styles you see artists do today. 🙂

This was my favorite vid. I know I'm not the only one who damn near gave myself a concussion & punished my mother's furniture trying to imitate that chair move.

We will never forget those Guess jeans

janet - escapade

My Favorite Janet song- possibly my favorite song ever.

This video was an answer to her critics. Who said she couldn't make a video without a huge cast of dancers. Could you Please react to Janet Jackson - Alright you'll love the video.

One of the most iconic music videos ever! Yes Janet Yes!!!

Janet Jackson- Nasty! Contains her most iconic line.

Nobody: Nobody at all: Not even Janet herself: Not even Janet's siblings: Jack everytime he hear a new song: Idk y'all this might be my new favorite song/ number 1 on playlist 🤣 Much love 💓💓💓 and I love this song sm

Janet Jackson is one of the greatest artists of all time.. People like Beyonce, Britney Spears, Rhianna, Lady gaga, Jlo, Ciara, Aaliyah, Mya, Brandy, Cassie, Tinashe, Teyanna Taylor, and Etc.. Feeds from Janet Jackson.. She is the true Blue Print for these artists and among others.. I'm glad that you're reacting to her phenomenal work. Keep going and I guarantee you see who Janet Jackson is really is. A legend, an Icon, a megastar star entertainer.. There will never be another Janet and Michael ever..

Another 80s bop she did is Control. Jimmy Jam produce that whole album and created great music for Janet over the years

Janet - MISS YOU MUCH a must.

You already know!! Young blood! You are witnessing greatness! Because of Janet Jackson there is a Ciara or a Beyonce. This was my era!! #80s4life

Back when female singers were innovative! This is my favorite Janet song.

And YES she really did the back flip in the video. It was just slowed down in editing.

I think you would like Janet Jackson- You Want This Janet Jackson- I Get So Lonely Janet Jackson ft Busta Rhymes- What’s It Gonna Be

Janet Jackson TwentyFourPlay !!

It seems crazy to have a video of pure choreography and it not be bad or boring but she kills it! Her charisma and confidence are off the charts

Jimmy n Terry, a beast on the beats

When I was 5, this was my first time knowing who Janet Jackson was. Fell in love with her ever since. You should react to her Control music video

Barry Lather choreographed this. He also choreographed her performance of "Control" on the 1987 American Music Awards. Also Jack check out "Janet Jackson Soul Train Awards 1992" there is a clip of bloopers from her music videos and you will see bloopers from "The Pleasure Principle" in that as well.

Janet is the QUEEN 👑! Lil bro you doing some great things with these videos. Keep up the great work.

Before the super bowl Incident janet was the highest paid entertainer of all time

Please react to janet Jackson’s “love will never do without you”

I somehow always get emotional with this song. This video was so important to me. The first young strong female singing about independence. And the choreography! This video was really a thing back then!

My favorite because Janet dont need background dancers or costume changes and its still iconic

And she really did the back flip

My favorite song from Janet Jackson. Too many layers to this classic.

By far ... My all-time favorite Janet Jackson song/video ... She absolutely kills it ... I love it ... 💗💗💗

Straight up Legendary

The 80's kicked all other decades asses. I know I was a teenager in the 80s

Please listen to Janet Jackson let's wait awhile

Also the Control album is a solid album front to back so if liked this song, then definitely give it a listen

Janet Jackson -What About Live Vh1 awards

LOL Your reaction when Janet did the flip

Yass! Pleasure Principle is top 3 Janet for me. Could you do Janets 'Someone To Call My Lover'? Great video!

This was the original chair routine. Artists got inspired by this video and did their own interpretations of it.

Janet Jackson "Love will never do"

From what I learned. She basically freestyled this entire video. Idk how true it is. But if she did 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m happy you reacted to this, one of my favorites. Check out “All For You” from her All For You album. It was the longest #1 running song of 2001, probably my favorite song from her. She looked the sexiest out of her entire career in this one.

Finally! I love this video. Top 3 of her entire videography!! Glad you did this. Janet is a legendary beast! Escapade you should do next.

This is her ONLY video where she danced and appeared alone. Dope!!!!

Great choice! This is my favorite song/video from her. Loved the choreography. She was looking so good in it 👀😂

This and "When I Think Of You" are my ALL TIME FAVORITES, from Ms. Jackson.

Janet here is making pop history

This is what you call an ICON. This was in the 80s for goodness Sake and she was KILLING it!

3 Words! Those Guess Jeans! #Dunk This is JLos Favorite Video. It inspired her to become a dancer/ entertainer.

The chair choreography and some of the moves are straight from the movie Flashdance, released 3 yrs earlier. However, Janet killed it, one of my fav artists

Janet Jackson - Alright. Pretty please! 🥰

1986 for the single, the video I believe was 87. Let's step back folks and truly look at this. How many other dancers can make a #1 hit with a video of just them dancing in a warehouse? That's right folks......only Janet.

Of course the energy was off the charts, she was in her early 20's. The musical producers were Terry Lewis & Jimmy Jam, who ran in the same circles (were also friends that grew up together) with Prince. But don't sleep on her now, even in her 50's. Check out the video, Damn, Baby with an older Janet. I love it. 😍

You should react to her Grammy performance in 1987. She slayed the Grammys.

This is my absolute favorite Janet song and video ever!!! Classic

You’ve got to do *THE KNOWLEDGE* music video by Janet. Her solo dance on there is too gold. And the lyrics have an important message as well.

80s MUSIC WAS THE JAMS

🌴 TALOFA Jack 😜 The Pleasure Principle... JDJ ♡ CLASSIC Please react to Janet's "Miss You Much" 🙏 The longest running number-ONE single of 1989!

As a young person, yoy will NEVER understand the struggle of putting on Guess skinny jeans BEFORE the introduction of lycra... 😂

I remember this vid was such a big deal when it came out. This was her first vid after she dropped a lot of weight. She had disappeared from the scene for a long time, nobody had seen her. We didn’t have social media back then so it easy to disappear for months. She came back and folks were like daaaaamnn. Before this she had a bit of, what folks called back then, baby fat. Think of her “When I Think Of You” video. Ole girl came back fit and with excellent dance skills that no one had seen from her before this. This vid was a major shift and transformation for her.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis(of The Time), wrote or produced most of Janet Jackson's iconic hits!! So underrated.

Omg how old are you Jack? I love how you love 80s music! I'm 38 so I grew up as a kid in this era and MJ was my fav with Janet second lol. Great days 😭

This is when she introduced herself as a dancer. So many iconic dances from the 80s: the prep, the wop, the cabbage patch

Yeah. Janet set the dancing standard with this video. Jennifer Lopez said it was the video that made her want to get into the business. Many other entertainers cite this as their favorite Janet video.

Janet had it going on in this video

Janet miss u much

This video set the bar so high for other female artist

You should react to "What Have You Done For Me Lately" next. It was her first real big hit! (It's also an 80s bop)

Absolute favorite video from Janet. It was her all alone establishing her independence from her parents and standing on her own taking the world by storm. Janet inspired so many female pop artists.

Greatest Female Entertainer of All Time

I was a kid in the 80's. and yes, it definitely was as great as it seems. Los Angeles (where I lived then) was everything in the 1980's.

Iconic. Stripped bare, by herself. Pure 🔥🔥🔥

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the dynamic duo that helped Janet break out of her shell, after that she was known as Ms. Jackson (especially if you're NASTY!)

LETS WAIT A WHILE bro. If you want some Smooth, laidback music. 😌 thanks Jack!✊🏿

Janet said this her favorite video of hers and its mine 2 she all alone killing it

I LOVE this video! When it came out ...WOW! We were dancing. I love that she did the dance moves that were popular and common at the time. She danced like us, but did it better.

Another Control song that is awesome is When I Think of You great song, great video and her 1st number one

This video was choreographed by Paula Abdul as were a lot of her 80s videos made you want to dance. She has elements of Flash Dance and Footloose two iconic films glad you caught the reference.

One of my favourite tunes of all time, yes I remember it first time, it's still cool and sexy - and so is she!

Saw her twice live. The energy is amazing

And she did do the back flip herself

My fav all time of hers

I didn't want this vid to end. It kept getting better! I heard you say you didn't know Janet could dance, now you know for sure, my friend!

My favorite Janet video, maybe my favorite of all time. I still remember that choreography and whenever I hear it that's all I see. And look at her! That made me want to get in shape. Classic.

'Let's wait awhile' is a good Janet song

I'm late to this convo, but she improvised the dance moves in this video. Makes it more impressive!

This is my favorite Janet song

This is from control her first major album that started it all for her. And rythm nation is her sophomore album. '86 and '89 respectively. Great songs on both Albums

Janet is one of my fav, she's AMAZING and inspired a lot of artists. React to Nasty, Together Again, Miss you much, Escapade, All for you, Doesnt really matter, Control, Feedback, Rock with u, Trust a try (All for you Tour live Hawaii).

I like Janet for her performances. I can never look away. I've never been big on her vocals though.

Yaaaaasss! Janet that's my girl!!! The best compliment I ever could have ever got is when I would be out on the dance floor back in the 80s, and was told all the time that I danced just like Janet Jackson. It can't get better than that!!!!

You might think I'm crazy, but I'm serious It's better you know now What I thought was happiness, was only part-time bliss You can take a bow It was all just one big night out on the town Riding in your limousine We turned right, then I said wrong Which brings us to a stop As the light is changing Oh, my meter's running so I got to go, now It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh It's the principle of pleasure, oh-oh It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh, oh-oh It's true, you want to build your life on guarantees Hey, take a ride in a big yellow taxi I'm not here to feed your insecurities I wanted you to love me This has become an all too familiar scene It's not the first time I've paid the fare Where'd you get the idea of material possession? Thank you for the ride nowhere And oh my meter's running, so I really have to go It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh It's the principle of pleasure, oh-oh It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh I know what you mean to me Baby this is nowhere You know what became between you and me Human differential It's the principle of pleasure oh-oh oh oh oh It's the pleasure principle, principle Oh, oh whoa You might say that I'm no good I wouldn't trust your looks, baby, if I could I got too many things I wanna do before I'm through It's the pleasure principle, it's the pleasure principle It's the pleasure principle Baby you can hold me down, baby you can hold me down After all the love that we've been through After all you put me through, love me, love me It's the pleasure principle, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Paula Abdul (her choreographer) cold hearted

Man she was break dancing, popping and Locking , splits and all....Living Legend!!! This woman is on a planet of her own (with MJ)... You should check out “All Nite,” “Rock with u ” and “Everytime” By Janet!...Btw she was 20 or 21, when she made this video.

Yess 🔥🔥🔥

1987. I was 23 😂 have the t shirt she’s wearing in the video

One of my favorite fast songs,from Ms.Jackson Normani recreated this in a Tribute,that was done to Janet,and it was so good,Janet gave her a standing ovation 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾,you should really check it out,you’ll love it.

In fact, the music video used the remix version of Shep Pettibone because this is the remix version (the album version was different). Later she have the same thing with ''Alright'' in 1990. When this song was released, this the only single of the ''Control'' album to not peaked the top 10 in US, peaking in n.14.

Yessss 80's music will always be the best to me....and it's funny my little one's love it too...lol

I love 80s music in general
