Janet Jackson - When I Think Of You 

Who's listening in 2024???

Almost in tears...things have changed so much. Sometimes you have to go back in time to keep your sanity. Loved theses days.

The 80's, back when the world was a better place.

Michael and Janet Jackson kind of ruled the 80s music scene in my opinion. The mere fact that their fans weren't just Black folk, but people of all races, nationalities, and colors, made it bangin'!

Was Janet STUNNING or was she STUNNING!?

I am in this video. I’m at the 3:25 mark. The guy dressed in black arguing with the girl in the red dress. I was Paula Abdul‘s apartment manager at a time in Hollywood. She did the choreography for Janet Jackson’s videos at the time. Was at the studio for two days for me to get all of one or two seconds on screen..😆 It was so much fun!

Does anybody else smile through the whole video? It's such a feel good song.🤗 just makes me happy i luv it 💖.

I'm an 70's baby and It's 2023 and this still makes me dance and feel free! Forever a vibe!

Janet has one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen.

There will never be anything like the 80's ever again!!!!

Cant even put into words the memories this song brings...80s nostalgia 😊

Snapple fact: at the 6 second mark the dog walking is “buck” from married with children. His first acting gig. Lol. Rip buck (died in 1996)

the production level of Janet and Michael's music video back then was like a production of a short Hollywood box office film

The 80s were the absolute best decade to be a teenager. I soooo miss the 80s. It was the last great American decade.

I can't believe Paula Abdul choreographed all of this DAMN

One of the greatest songs of all time.

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

Janet Jackson was way above her peers. She is truly underrated

My wife and I are going back in time with her music because in about a week and half were seeing Janet Jackson in concert were beyond excited it's my wife's very first concert ever and we both Janet we grew up listening to her can't wait for our concert we got floor seats

Just more proof that the 80s were the last full great decade.

Who else got cheered up from this song?

50 year old veteran here with a tear or two for the loss of my youth, the sanity of the country and a more innocent time...GOD how i wish i could go back there

The complication of shooting this video just makes me love her more. Continuous shots and so many moving parts…the choreography…just outstanding and above anything we had ever seen at that point…incredible

Who's listening in May 2024?😎 👍🏻 👇🏻

Good old Days. When music was really music

This is so sweet. Not gross. Not vulgar. Miss the 80’s.

This kinda music brings back the joy i felt in my childhood pure euphoria

Waking up for kindergarten.. Mommy would play Kiss Fm. This song always came on. Loved it💯🕊️💙💪🏾 So i always get nostalgia

Gosh I loved this video so much. My life back in the 80’s was literally consumed with everything Michael and Janet. ❤️

No nudity. No twerking. No bad language. Just sheer talent. Queen.

I want to dedicate this song to Elise Finch! She loved you Janet. God Bless her family especially her daughter Gracie. 🌞 Your Mommy loves you so much. R.I.P. 💜💜💜

Born in 89 but my wife was Born in 87 but our families always played these songs growing up and we obviously were exposed to this. Happy to say this Song was played at our wedding ❤ This song came out in 86! 70s 80s & 90s music will last forever

Who's here bc of the video 'Paula teaching choreography to Janet, 1986' suddenly popping up in their feed??! 😉💖

First track I played in my first car. If there was ever a perfect evening, that was it. May, sunset, windows down, the most free I’ve ever felt! This song brings it all back! Love you Janet!!!

Janet your still amazing back then and today you still got it girl.

Janet looks like she's on cloud nine. What a production.

There's something about this song that makes me feel carefreely nostalgic and happy.

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis! They made magic for Janet.

A 4K upgrade for this incredible clip would be nice!!!!

When music videos were awesome.

When talent mattered and not just sex.

This is what Paula Abdul said about this video: "There was only one edit in this entire video. Otherwise, it was all one take. It was very, very, very labor-intensive. I worked with Julian Temple, who was the director, and we brought in [legendary choreographer] Michael Kidd. At the time I think Michael was in his late sixties, and it was an honor to be able to work with someone who was around during the MGM classics, who understood what we were trying to do. We brought him in to work with us to really make it seamless, and it was incredible. "There were so many performers in that video, and just being able to get every scene knocked out and timed perfectly… oh my God, we probably spent an entire day just mapping it out, without a camera at first, and then an entire day working with the steadicam operator. We used an entire soundstage on the Fox lot. There were so many moving parts to it. It was a lot of rehearsal; I think we had four days altogether on the soundstage. I had a ton of extras, character actors, fire hydrants going off at the right timing. It was insane! But it was so rewarding, and every member of that video - from production to every single extra to every dancer - felt like something huge was accomplished. It was big."

I was 16 when this came out. I was working as a bus boy at The Baltimore Diner in Nottingham. It was 86'.

Greatest era of music ever !! Reminds me of my early teenage years. Who’s listening??!!

Janet was killing that choreography in a pair of kitten heels!

Music videos back then were creative and had style......

80s decade all the way. Especially the music loved it all. Will never forget the movies shows clothes and Hairstyles almost forgot the NRL Grand Finals

MY FAVORITE JANET DANCE VIDEO!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

This song went to number one on the billboard hot 100 for two weeks in 1986...Just one of her TEN number one hits on that chart.

MICHAEL JACKSON AND JANET JACKSON ARE THE GREATEST POP STARS OF ALL TIMES!!🤩

Binging JJ videos this morning. Can we go back?

This is an amazing video. All of the action. The choreography is phenomenal. I always loved this song. It has held up over the years.

Whenever I need to be reminded of my energy frequency, I come to Janet. For some reason her music resonates in my cells and makes them feel the way they did when I was a girl listening to her music in complete joy. Thank you forever, Miss Jackson!!!!!

oh so lovely. Best times, music was great. If you grew up in the 1980's your lucky, we had the greatest childhood!!!!

This song has been in my head all day.😆

I remember being 9 years old and being obsessed with this video, i watched it may times. My crushes were Maria From Sesame Street, Janet Jackson, Lisa Lisa and Claire Huxtable, all my girlfriends, lol- This video shows the essence of Janet, no one tops her when it comes to aura and performance, she is the best of female performers, u can't do anything but smile and be amazed

When this song came out I was walking with my girlfriend then in Manhattan by Central park, I heard the song from afar??? Getting closer???? To our surprise it was about 15 people on skates dancing and rolling out of the park. The guy with the boombox playing this song stopped skating, and placed it in the middle of the road. And started to dance around it with everyone else, in the middle of the road 4 lanes. Cars stopped didn't beep nothing and we just were like OMG bliss. NOBODY BEEPED. The song was just about to end the guy picks up the radio and the 15 people just skated down the side street and nobody said SHIT! Life was just better then, it was a mix. And we enjoyed each others company! 80's RULE God Bless

36 years ago, today, my girl had her FIRST #1 song!!!.....10/11/86!!

Watching this August 2023,,, anyone else here? I LOVED this video in the 80’s now I’m freakin 66 and still watching, listening,,, she was the queen of dance, and those dance moves never get old!

This has to be one of the cleverest videos of its age. The work that must have gone in to ensure the seeming fluidity of how it runs is phenomenal.

One of my favorites videos of all time. Happy 50th Birthday! Janet

35 years ago, TODAY, 7-5-86, her album was #1 in the land!!

This video makes me reminisce my awesome childhood…God I miss the 80’s

Honestly I have always been a JJ fan but as I’m approaching my 30th I’ve really began to dive deep into her music and really listen to the lyrics. No dis to Madonna but Janet’s music really has impacted my life. I feel safe when I listen to her music. I’m about to be 30 and I can say she is the one artist that has changed my perception of music. She is the QUEEN! I love her so much. If I could met one celebrity it would be her.

The generation of today will never know how lucky we were to have such great music of this era

Why the 1980s was the best decade!

None other, like Ms. Janet Jackson✨💕✨

If it was 1986...I'd be going to London and Paris the next year with three friends that are all gone now.

I was a teen metalhead in '86 when this song was new. But I dug pop music too, and this video always made me feel good. Janet's music and image had a way of reaching people that may not have naturally gravitated to this style. I even saw her live in '93, one of the best shows I've ever seen. God I miss this era. I also used to think this video was shot all in one continuous take, now all the edits are obvious but still just a brilliant video;

This video is so quintessentially 80's I am in love.

On this day in Music - 11 Oct 1986 Janet Jackson started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'When I Think Of You', her first US No.1, a No.10 hit in the UK.

This song is etched in my brain and takes me back to when I was a teenager listening to this wonderful music on my Sony Walkman. Nothing triggers nostalgia for me as much as this song does.

Ahh the 80s!! Such a great time!! It reflected in almost everything!! (Movies/Shows/Videos) One of my favorite songs by Janet!! ''So in love with uuuu''!!

Janet documentary bought me here 2022 and she’s still rocking with us. This Song is pure nostalgia.

Woke up with this song playing in my head- praying it was 1987 - and I had just had a very long nightmare.

Whenever I think of Janet ❤❤❤

In the 70s 80s n 90s. That's when music was music.

They just don't make music or videos like this anymore.

I remember every radio station and clothing store would play this song

The 80's were the best time for Janet! This song wraps it up! Love it!

Yessssssssss, Janet was our Beyonce, Janet was the 1st that ever did it. women in the 80's truly hade real talent, they didn't sale sex appeal they sold talent. no-one even knew Janet had a nice Body, until the 90's.... She was always dressed like a lady...... Class never go out of style that's why Ms Jackson been relevant for so long...... True Legend /Diva

THIS IS ANOTHER GENUINE CLASSIC FROM JANET JACKSON THAT'S TRULY AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE VIDEO.

PLEASE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME,DON'T LET JANET JACKSON MUSIC DIE

The 80's and big hair. I loved it

What a nostalgia, the 80s simply the best decade.

These old Janet videos bring back so many childhood memories

Nothing was like the 80s OMG 😃🔥🔥🔥🔥

I sometimes have to revisit old Jackson videos to remind myself of how much this family dominated the charts for decades.

Kids now days will never understand the joy & movement 80s/90s music brought to our lives. No twerkin, just simple, yet complex choreography. Take me back to the 80s & 90s please.

March 2024 and i'm still enjoying this song. 💃🏽🕺🏼 Because of Janet i owned lots of shoulder pad outfits with tights and big ass earings. I still have my earing collection from the 70's-90's.

when music and videos mattered! One of the best produced and fun songs of the 80's. I get happy every-time I hear it. Thanks you Miss Jackson!

Janet Jackson is and was the QUEEN of the 80s and today!

So well choreographed

The PERFECT pop song. ❤

Born in the 1900's(78)😂. A nostalgic time!.up next Call me al!, walking on broken glass, Michael McDonald,Tom petty, I'm jamming, at home safe getting Daaaaarunk😂. Enjoy great music folks🕺🏽

Just had my son on October 18th @ 6:26 pm and this song was playing in the surgery room. Will forever be a favorite

I used to wait for this to come on mtv. It was one of those videos that you wanted to rewatch over and over. We didn’t have RU-vid back then.

I remember this song , I was 14 year!! I love it !!! 1986-1991 the best teen years for me !!!!

This time in my life was a whole vibe....those days will never come back but at least I have those memories and great music like this to reminisce

Who still playing this in 2019 🙋🏽‍♀️❤💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💯?
