[@vincentbrown1872]

" She could have easily taken all of the credit for those ideas"? Ya gotta be kidding! 100% of Janet Jackson's success was due to Jam & Lewis's musical compilations and the marketing engine of her record company. Of course, her family name opened the doors, but she has no outstanding talent on her own. She doesn't have much of a voice and is literally whispering on those hits produced by Jam & Lewis. Her videos simply copied Michael's. She is not alone as Beyonce is probably the best example of the biggest star made by producers, not talent.

@LonerBlack66 The reason why the media always attacked them. The media owes them all an apology.

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

As a kid blessed to see them live, many can only dream👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿GOD is so great❤️❤️

[@Ponponmomo]

I would love to listen to an audiobook with her being the narrator. I love her gentle voice. It’s very calming.

[@Luvanmusiq]

Yesss! Like Mariah’s autobiography on Audible

[@danderson8431]

I was a Black girl living in Japan when “If” came out. To see the 2 cultures I knew best so intertwined was beautiful and powerful to me. Btw, the Japan edit is slightly different than the American edit.

[@LatoyaWatson123]

I love that! I Would love if you could describe the differences?

Really, how so?

@Jonathan Banner Even "All for You" was meh?

[@211sweetypie]

She sounds so much like Michael. People are talking about her weight gain, Janet doesn't owe us anything and she doesn't have to perform anymore if she doesn't want to. Maintaining weight can be hard. She's a legend and can stop trying with that and live the rest of her life not worrying about how she looks. Much love for Janet. ❤️

[@dakotajones3380]

So true I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL ⚘

[@reneerobinson3559]

She's smaller than the average American womanAND is healthy at 55. She doesn't have to be a size 2 her whole life.

[@videohits4ever432]

Agree with you 100%. Also maybe she's happy. Think about it, she doesn't have to prove herself to anyone right now. She's living life with her child and not having to go out on tour.

[@karabartley]

She's literally just getting older, everybody's face sags when we age. It's not a big deal. She was gonna tour before covid hit in 2020!! She had to cancel but ya girl was gonna get tickets 🎟

[@libratude9595]

Plus people forget she's a mother now of a 4yo, she had at 50yo.

[@synobiawalker6664]

I absolutely loved this interview. The descriptions, history of Janet Jackson’s life. I am and will always be a fan of the Jackson’s (especially Michael) past, current and future.

This is the woman who had a mohawk on tour(Rockwitchu Tour,) 6:29 wire afro hair, parrot hair(the velvet rope tour europe,) shaved short hair for the number ones tour and y'all are complaining about her shaving her sides and having braids. Janet has always reinvented and experimented with fashion.

[@UnreleasedUnderratedRnBgrooves]

I'm thrilled she talked about "I Get So Lonely" & "what's It Gonna Be", the fact that she opened up about her fascination with futuristic themes & Japanese culture just amplified my adoration for her further! Absolute creative legend, I can't wait to see what she cooks up for the "Black Diamond" project.

[@lw9924]

Janet Jackson’s control album was the first cassette tape I ever bought.. and the tape eventually broke because I played it sooooo much. ❤️

[@ApricusInaros]

Exactly the same was the case with me :)

[@mecahunter7092]

Me too 🥰

[@Felktl09]

I love her. Her voice is so soothing, it’s better than ASMR

[@sofiamarie9136]

@Felkt109 I was just thinking that we need some Janet Jackson ASMR vids! Her voice is super tingly! 😍😊😴

[@sanemataitusi14]

I feel the World has gone to sleep on Janet so I'm extremely excited that she put out a documentary of herself to sort of remind the World who she was.

[@orlaspring363]

who she IS : )

[@mzivanovic677]

So soft-spoken, ladylike, humble. She is a living legend 🤍

[@kimbronson3520]

Janet seems so humble and sweet. Not to many artists are like that in this new generation of artists.

[@ericabolton4060]

I love how soft spoken she is. Her voice is just absolute comfort ❤️

[@ggtracy02]

I love seeing old pictures of Janet with Michael. They seemed real close. The way she talks about him is different than the other siblings. Love hearing about which items in the videos belonged to who. I live her! ❣️

[@alexisflowers5069]

She just oozes ethereal energy always has and always will😩

[@heathergorum6432]

Her voice is like butter. Her singing voice aside, I could listen to her read the dictionary page to page.

[@Mimi-cg2cw]

You can do it

[@scottgarbo1288]

One of the world's biggest superstars and a true maverick. Just wow. Her videos are and will always be legendary and an inspiration to countless people....yet, she's so humble and down-to-earth, giving credit to her contributors. There's just no one like Miss Jackson and there never will be.

[@dubsas]

She deserves so much, SO SO MUCH, more respect and credit. And oh my gosh her voice is so similar to Michael's

[@vcp365]

She doesn’t seem to give many interviews. A true icon. Thank you, Allure!

[@LE_AZ]

Scream is the most expensive music video of all time. MJ and Janet are an ironic duo. Amazing song. ♡

[@rachaelmonet5168]

That’s actually a myth! It was still incredibly expensive though :)

[@nathanbradleyf777]

@@rachaelmonet5168 Mark Romanek said there is one other video that costed more than Scream. He didn't say what it was.

[@kate_m_k88]

@@rachaelmonet5168 I'm not sure how it is a “myth,” especially considering the plethora of sources and articles that all list Scream as the #1 most expensive music video to date, lol; I, however, would genuinely love to hear how and why you believe that this is a “myth,” precisely, though.

[@jibrildsalami9944]

Whats It Gonnabe was expensive too🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@JetPackDino]

Thank you for interviewing this icon. She was a huge part of my teen years, and deserves more credit and success. The way she calls her brother "Mike" was unexpectedly touching.

[@Sylwish]

She's such a sweetheart, she sounds so pure and relaxed. Perfect soothing voice. And she got me giggling like crazy at 4:08 when she's talking about the big back "birds" hahaha, she kept a straight face, kudos miss!

[@DamonCahlil]

She looked like she wanted to laugh and it sounded like someone in the back was clapping as if they were laughing 😂😂 why she didn’t put the words together I will never know lmaooo

[@SidneyMosley]

Janet: "I love anything Japanese." Me: _"I see you're a woman of culture as well"_

[@jennifermadrigal2735]

Janet is a goddess! Not enough respect is put on her name. Her music videos were superior in concept and execution. Her style was next level. Her sound was pop but with substance. Many have tried to imitate, but she did it 1st and did it best. That is why she is the queen of pop. Period!

[@sky.the.infinite]

She is _still_ the *sweetest* girl in the whole wide world.

[@biancaleon6809]

She has always been true to her craft and style. She is truly an ICON!

[@thelabrantfamilyvideos6812]

YES YES YESSS

[@tillyboos]

She's an INCREDIBLE artist. The fact that she cited Bradbury and Blade Runner as inspirations for Rythmn Nation just shows that. For every single project she spoke about, she outlined EVERY SINGLE choice she made. Only a true artist can do that. Have SUCH respect for Janet.

[@reikun86]

I had no idea they filmed Rhythm Nation at the Bradbury building. That's so cool!

[@tillyboos]

@@reikun86 Yep, apparently they shot the entirety of her Rythmn Nation video there. Which makes sense, because Blade Runner used the Bradbury as a filming location as the setting for one of the characters apartments. I've been to the Bradbury once when I was in LA, and the building is FANTASTIC, especially the central atrium. It's REALLY beautiful architecture.

[@reikun86]

@@tillyboos I got to see it too many years ago. It really is a special building and I'm glad LA decided to declare it a Historical Landmark.

[@canaisyoung3601]

I think you mean Francois Truffaut, since she's talking about the 1966 movie adaptation of "Fahrenheit 451", which was also Truffaut's only English language movie because there were so many problems with it communication-wise that he never did another movie in English again.

[@tillyboos]

@@canaisyoung3601 Yeah, I know she was referencing Truffaut's film, but I just cited the original author of "Farenheit 451'" because the name is synonymous with the location where the Rythmn Nation video was shot.

Now THIS is what you call ICONIC. Legend and iconic are thrown around too freely these days. Janet is the blueprint for these other girls. This is the true definition of iconic.

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

The dance choreography in 'If' is some of the best of all time. I was obsessed with it as a kid and taught it to myself. Still can do it to this day! Love Janet.
