Fun fact: Janet does all her own background vocals. All her vocals are stacked with her singing a melody in different tones to make this smooth yet crisp vocal harmony. The Jacksons are very well known for their block vocal harmonies.

[@m.g.3842]

Janet’s voice is amazing. People definitely sleep on her ability and range.

[@highland_persuasion]

This is widely considered to be one of Janet's best songs, if not her best, and that dance breakdown is the arguably the best of her entire videography, which is saying something as she has had so many memorable dance sequences.

[@mssha1980]

Honestly I don’t care for the breakdown. I love the first half of the routine. Nothing is better

[@diamondsandpearls7213]

Can't wait til you react more to Janet. She truly is one of the greatest female artists out there

[@moonwalkerjackson4461]

Jack Reacts man i love you your so kind ❤️

[@MsCloudcomputer]

Indeed she is!

[@ZephsUniverse]

The whole janet album was MY JAM back in the day! She really came into her own and was freer as an artist, and showed a sexier side of herself because this is when she had lost all this weight (1993). You can see how Janet influenced artists like Britney and Beyonce. Thank you for doing this. ❤

[@Joshua-ie1jy]

That's a good Album

[@anthonyanderson9303]

Hell yea she went from "Let's Wait Awhile" all the way too "Anytime, Any place" LOL little Janet had GROWN UP!

She only did one video which was that’s the way love goes. She left right before if was made

Jennifer Lopez was there during the rehearsals but declined before the shoot as she decided to follow her acting career

[@butterflyszn2342]

i’m so happy young people around my age are finally getting into janet’s classics! she was the only jackson who made it out of michael’s shadow! it was a tough journey with two poorly successful album for her to gain the respect as an actual artist, her control era really proved she was a force to be reckoned with. but she really pushed for the advocacy for social issues like racism and sexism in the late 80’s with her rhythm nation 1814 album! she was the blue print for artists like beyoncé, mya, ciara and etc. when her self-titled era -which this music video is from- came into motion she really surprised the general public! she became VERY sexual, she was always known to wear turtlenecks and military inspired wear so no one expected her to show her body and talk about sex. remember this was the early 90’s and not many black woman at the time talked so explicitly about their sexuality. this was a huge risk that played off very well to her legacy. she was ridiculed like every woman who wanted to talk about sex during that time but that didn’t stop her for continuing such a trailblazer. it’s so sad that her legacy has been buried because of one performance, the nipplegate. i would go more in-depth on the performance but i believe this video is more insightful kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl7TiXerm9Nkf7s! i urge you to do more reactions and more research into her past! keep doing these great reactions, i hope you have more and great success!

[@loirinlancaster3]

Those very first two albums were actually successful world wide as they went gold but I get what your saying. In terms of production and brevity the albums moving forward from that period starting with the “Control” album had a far more larger impact in terms of sales and global impact and it made her a real player in the music industry especially where her brother was concerned. Fun Facts: they had a listening party for the control album and all her brothers showed up and Michael was the only one who hadn’t showed up. Her brothers gave her the green light and Micheal was said to be envious and didn’t talk to her for two wks after having listened to the control album but later told her how excited he was for her and eventually got around to congratulating her.

As a HUGE Janet fan, there is nothing more that I love than seeing someone else appreciating her & giving her the love & props that she deserves & has earned!!! Janet is everything!!!! I’ve seen her about 9 times in concert...she is a true legend & humble human being! I always love watching the making of this video! It’s on KZbin...it just makes you want to be right in there with the other dancers (aka the kids) Side note: Janets live performance on MTV VMAs in 1993 of “That’s The Way Love Goes” & “If” will forever be one of my favorite performances ever!!! That is also on KZbin! In the ‘90s I would record everything Janet that was on TV onto my VHS tapes! She is the reason I got into dance! 👑🖤👑🖤 #IMissThe90s

Trivia. The music at the intro is from the beginning of "Someday We'll Be Together", which was the last song by Diana Ross and The Supremes. Just an FYI. 🙂

[@jgflowers88]

Fun fact: J.Lo was originally going to be a background dancer in this video (like she was for "That's the Way Love Goes") but she dropped out because she got the "Selena" movie role. This is definitely one of my favorite Janet songs.

[@houseofiii]

Best Janet song, best Janet dancing, best message in a song, is Rhythm Nation. So iconic. So militant. Message is still relevant today. You gotta watch that one.

[@karenlawler373]

This is one of the most famous dance routines ever. It's still ripped off by younger artists today. Watched her perform this in a small venue about 10 years ago. It was amazing. Such a great track too.

[@skyebluette8166]

Aaliyah - Rock The Boat

[@lamarlo4437]

Jack Reacts I think you'll like reacting to Janet Jackson - Pleasure Principal (The music video that made Jennifer Lopez, TLC, Beyoncé, Britney, etc wanna be famous performers)

[@mssha1980]

No thats not the bridge. It’s the prechorus. The bridge is the part after the dance break

[@nikkidupras3667]

"Miss you much" is another dancing video of hers.

[@ginahouston9352]

how did you miss the bridge? "Your smooth and shiny Feels so good against my lips, sugar I want you so bad, I can taste your love right now, baby Day and night, night and day" Janet's sexuality evolved so beautifully over the years. 🥰

[@jasonmb8955]

This was two years before "Scream." In 1993 while Michael was being accused of child molestation (in the press but not in Court) Janet had lost weight, become successful without her family, and released a new album (Janet.) This was the second single from the album. "If" is set in a Asian sex club, where the men are the commodity (instead of the women being treated as objects.) The song references the man's "smooth and shiny" and the chorus references him being "on the rise, as he's touching her thighs." But because the song never uses a curse word, the single was played on the radio and the album did not have a parental advisory sticker. The album and the single went to #1 in the US and several other countries.

[@WCD199317]

In fact, the song ''If'' peaked only in n.4 in US charts and achived moderate success worldwide.

[@jasonmb8955]

Billboard Dance Club Singles - #1 Billboard Mainstream Top 40 - #2 Billboard R&B / Hip Hop - #3 Billboard Hot 100 - #4 These are the highest positions for "If" during the first month of the single's release in the US. All top 4 chart placement in August of 1993.
