Janet Jackson - Billboard Music Awards Icon Performance (Rehearsals)

Video by Solaiman Fazel

[@moonwalk3rr]

These rehearsals are better than half the industry's performances today! Janet is unbreakable!

[@thetoughgroup]

Anish Gole ...100% raw facts!

[@renemireles7227]

Real Talent....not to mention she is a Jackson but the dancers...are so talented to be able to keep up with her...She needs no dancers to do a good performance..but she is always done great dancing videos and she is and should be recognized as the Queen of Pop.....( Fuck MDNA)..

[@SASSY13169]

People don't celebrate quality anymore. Back then everyone had to work so hard to be heard and they gave everything, these days we are surrounded by marketing props, who don't even have to try. Those quality voices hardly get heard or appreciated anymore.

[@James.Payne.]

💯

[@deyoncew3311]

When she's 52 outdancing most of your faves who are 25 in a REHEARSAL!!

[@mitzithompson6585]

I love Janet' s behind the scene rehearsals. She's awesome!

[@CarlosFernandez-cu4rb]

[@Karla-cb8tu]

That's why she received the ICONIC AWARD!!!

[@davidbarnes1113]

Most of the dancers were babies or not even born when these hits were banging the charts down. I hope they appreciate they are dancing for a true legend.

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

I love how Janet all different types of race and stereotypes and all sizes dancing with her Janet is the greatest 🙌

[@carlmilton8197]

damn Janet. why is she doing this shit. this is better than any performance from todays artist. a rehearsal ?!?! wow. amazing

[@anthonybarlow5955]

Great rehearsal I can see why dancer love to work with her you can tell it was fun not like other artist rehearsal I've seen on video she truly is the Empress of music

[@OctoberLibra1]

So true....and Janet gives her dancers the room to not only grow, but to do their own thing within the realms of the choreography. If you ever notice, Janet does the choreography exactly as it`s taught whereas most of her dancers will do a little something different and/or not quite get it down pat. She never gives her dancers the side eye if they do that either and with Throb, she incorporates that into the performance, giving her dancers the Freedom to individually get the spotlight. That you don't see many artist do these days. She is my all-time Icon for life.

[@prettygurl747]

It’s her quiet “I’m so unsure of myself” at the beginning. Then she proceeds to KILL it! May she forever reign! We love you so much Janet! 💙

[@dwaynemartinez]

Rightttt I saw that to 🔥

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....she has openly stated that she is ALWAYS....in her dancing.....thinking ...of...HIM...she feels she gets through...as a dancer...but she is always thinking of...HIM...it's the most beautiful subtext of her work....

[@richardmcghee8453]

I aint calling no names because when I tell the truth, I get attacked!! Lol But the main thing is look at how Janet moves so effortless, she smoothier than butter! She was born to do this and for this long! Come on yaw that's pretty dope to me! She still the baddest woman in the game and the crazy part is she is not putting any effort toward it, it comes natural for her, thats when you know you got a gift!

[@angiet8678]

Richard Mcghee You've said nothing but the truth! Most of these singers today can only dream about doing a real rehearsal like this.

[@richardmcghee8453]

Angie T Thank you, I try and yes I am pro Janet but I still tell the truth!

[@diazjr1975]

Preach on! God honest truth!

[@richardmcghee8453]

She is the ultimate!! Mind you too she gave all those dancers their first chance to do a big event..she had an audition of close to 2000 dancers for that Billboard performance! You dont see artist today do that most of them are all about themselves. Janet is the bomb! And definitely still got it and fine!!

[@jseight279]

Richard Mcghee "The Bomb" really? Lol

[@richardmcghee8453]

Js Eight2. I love the bomb, still use it, old school slang meaning HOT!! Lol

[@marioplater4003]

They all got down and I love how Janet hires all sizes dancers. Janet moves effortlessly this is only one short performance. Imagine when she on tour doing 50 shows. It takes alot of practice, discipline, and energy. She calls her dancers the kids.

[@ariesluv]

They were so crunk! Come on plus sizes!🔥🔥

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

.....they represented....i enjoyed them....

[@kkain123]

How does she do that hip thing where she shakes her hip real fast?! Yes Queen!

[@antoniop3726]

There are not words to describe what JANET does inside our hearts when she sings and performs her songs! JANET is incredible!

[@keepsit100atalltime9]

Janet look so youthful here❤️

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....and TINY....when she did the performance she had on this unflattering outfit that made her look like she was hiding her weight....bad costume design....

[@PaulJGorzkowski]

I'm about to date myself, but I've been a fan of Janet Jackson since Good Times. Then when her music career exploded onto scene was a gift. I've always loved watching her perform and I will forever cherish her music and acting career. There was never and there will never be another one to compare. I also love the fact that she is like two different people from talk shows to interviews to music videos and stage performances. I can watch her dance for days and never get tired of it. She set the bar of performing to an ultimate high that there has yet to be anyone of her caliber!

[@ricky6935]

Janet is a performer, she is so naturall and beautiful and to believe she still get nervous that makes her even more adorable if that is even possible, her game continues to get better and stringer!!!❣️❣️❣️

[@tmoore7049]

THE QUEEN OF POP JANET ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@djohn515]

Dammm girl that’s why she’s the QUEEN

[@davidrock65]

A True Legend!!!!

[@diazjr1975]

TRUST...........! JANET IS HERE TO TEACH YOU HOW TO SLAY! BETTER PAY ATTENTION. Being a dancer at 6'2 I have to prove myself to others and show that I can work this body on the floor. I am so glad she had open auditions. I see people who would never get a chance to show their skills. Thank you Janet!w

[@jamesdavidkmoss]

Rick Diaz this is not about you lol

[@James.Payne.]

💯

[@diazjr1975]

​@@jamesdavidkmoss Booo it's all about me😂.

[@jamesdavidkmoss]

[@diazjr1975]

Hahaha. No!

[@bruman2002]

i wish Janet would make more music like Trob ... dang girl :)

[@bruman2002]

Amen to that ... i second that request. Remember the days when she exuded sexiness with songs like Throb!!!!!!

[@vi94]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how Janet has average sized dancers!!!!

[@tellethomas410]

That shit was so dope dare I say it was better than the actual live performance.

[@ethiopianabesha]

Dancing like I'm there, apart of the group....you'll have to fight with me if you say I'm not.

[@humanr.e8529]

They couldn't wait to get to the IF part. I was hype wit em 😂

[@deniser.m.7356]

Janet is my all time favorite!! Skills all around. You go girl!!!!

[@moodyteresa52]

Wow!!!!!!!!! That’s why her and MJ are my favorites!!! Those dancers wow!!!! Amazing!!!

[@kkain123]

I love to see Janet rehearse! It's so authentic!

[@MrBrightstar78]

‘Unity in Diversity’. That was incredible.

[@angiet8678]

Mrs. Jackson will always be on top because she was taught, "hard work pays off"!

[@reidbw]

SOO Cool recognizing some of the dancers that auditioned from the HBO segment or that the news outlet showed that made the cut. You can tell these kids are having a blast working with her bummer she can't take them on tour with her Just the ESSsence festival and few other shows.But Jtribe is not giving up

[@tj205bama]

I'm glad she kept that beginning move paula did for her

[@karlaj.1098]

I am so happy I was here on this Earth to see her and her brother grow.She is back and not playing! That's was so cute the young man slid on the floor to fast onto HR and she laughed!!!Love u forever girl!

[@kevinmesa4299]

Simply unmatched & untouchable

[@LeeDfined]

One or my favorite Performances by her

[@dax5694]

The level of LITTY this was, especially at THROB!!! I hope every dancer there realizes how mind blowing it was to dance that number with a living legend; millions will dream about being in their position. GREAT JOB!
