Well, Janet borrowed and reworked the Riff from "I Hate Myself for Loving You" by Joan Jeff and the Blackhearts. She has a rock hit because she copied an existing rock song.

[@user-dz1rc4wk2t]

She. Still does

[@virgilwyatt4632]

Janet did this song because She stated She'd always wanted to do a Rock song! She pulled that off big time!

[@zmbdog]

Yeah she said as a teen she was a big fan of Motley Crue, Poison and the like. She obviously knew what she was doing here. I don't think any other pop artist besides Janet or Michael could've pulled this off. Especially to the extent of hard rock/metal fans liking it. We will _pounce_ if a crossover comes off as pandering or inauthentic, which is probably why few attempt to dip their toes in the genre to begin with.

[@virgilwyatt4632]

@@zmbdog I think Lenny Cravitz, Prince and maybe even Bruno Mars could have done a great job at it, too. Especially Lenny & Prince and especially as a duet. I could also see Sheila E. on percussion and and back- up vocals on this track. Whatdayathink?

[@zmbdog]

@@virgilwyatt4632 I'm not familiar with Bruno Mars. Prince or Lenny Kravitz I could see but I've never thought of them as purely 'pop' stars. Lenny's always had a rock edge and Prince is like...experimental is what he does. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't ventured into metal. He actually commissioned Warrant's demos! They were done at Paisley Park and led to the band getting signed with Columbia.

[@zmbdog]

​@@virgilwyatt4632 Okay somehow the second half of my comment is MIA. Weird, here's the redux... As far as someone firmly in mainstream pop...it's hard to imagine. Like, Madonna or Paula Abdul couldn't do this. You can just tell, they don't have it in them. Cher might. I can't seem to gauge her. I just see a game show mystery box. I'd say the closest to maybe doing it well would be Tina Turner or Bonnie Tyler. Vocally, no problem. I just question if they could write it. This one isn't just good, it's appropriate, lyrically. And I'd bet it happened naturally, she just wrote what she felt. I like "Escapade" but if this song had the same subject matter, it wouldn't gel. I think with Tina or Bonnie we'd probably get something along those lines at best and it would just seem disingenuous. I'd love to hear them do a metal cover. Especially Tina, I could see her getting up on stage even with something super-heavy and just blow it up!

[@maltedmilk2380]

[@kwantoon]

Perhaps I'm ignorant, but at what point was it taken from them? Modern "rock n rock" has without a doubt been heavily influenced by the early blues artists that were predominately black, there are a lot of similarities between the two genres. Song structures, chord progression and so on, but they are definitely their two different genres. Black Cat is a full on Heavy Rock song and that isn't typical associated with black artists. So as far as "reclaiming" rock and roll goes, it was never taken from them. The beauty of music is that people tend to reflect their musical heroes and you can hear it in their music, but that's not the same as taking something from someone. How many black artists can you name from the last century that wrote/performed rock songs like Black Cat? Janet just took a chance on something different from her norm and wrote a great song that I still love after all these years.

Why u mentioned rap music?

[@davidhabert]

One very famous rock/metal vocalist who absolutely loved this song was Lemmy (god rest his soul) from Motorhead and even wanted to do a duet with Janet. His record company said NO. Being a heavy rock/metal fan, this would've been amazing.

[@TheTravelPotato]

July 24, 1990 saw Janet perform this on this tour in Indy's Market Square Arena. Awesome show by a great talent. Ah, the good old days! I remember sitting by a little girl that was lucky enough to get backstage to meet Janet and all she could talk about was how beautiful Janet's hair was.

No better performers in my generation than King Michael and Queen Janet. Oh and their last name is JACKSON damnit!

[@superzrod7723]

The Jackson name is blessed

[@marcus813]

One thing I've been impressed by in music is Janet Jackson's versatility. This song was a departure from her previous work and she killed it on this metal track. The late Lemmy loved it so much that he wanted to record his own version with Jackson, but his label, Sony Records, nixed that potential collabo.

[@ienobik4414]

Janet and Michael could both pull off good rock albums

[@BJMallory]

I was at her concert at the Tacoma Dome when this video was premiered. They showed it right before Janet started her show; they said they had just finished it that day and we were the first people to see it. The place went wild. I love this song so much, I wish she had done more rock songs.

[@EFunkRock]

BJMallory congratulations 🎉!! I attended her concert at Joe Louis Arena and I would’ve lost my mind if that happened. You were blessed to experience the video premiere of a classic song. Nevertheless, it was a great concert and I was blessed to be able to attend. I do agree that she should’ve attempted more rock songs but she still can if she wants.

[@user-cg9bl2nh3c]

Holyyy shit. This song was fucking HUGE. Janet is underrated!

[@samkelisiwemasondo8357]

Back then, music videos weren't as nasty and rauchy like nowadays, Janet Jackson had one of the best music videos ever.

[@candirenee74]

She reminds me of Joan Jett here with her aggressive vocals and song arrangement 🤘

[@JeffreyBue_imtxsmoke]

I always thought this was a Joan Jett song

[@davidhabert]

@candirenee I'm very impressed by your comparison between Joan Jett and Janet Jackson. Here's something for you to think about, could you imagine them teaming up.

[@phillipisthebest26]

[@alisethompson1623]

Phillip Daniel you got it wrong Janet would kick Madonna's ass when it comes down to music and dancing

[@phillipisthebest26]

Alise Thompson Both of them aren't very musical. And Madonna would totally kick ass in dancing. She practices dance moves, old and new, for hours every day and she's 7 years older than Janet.

[@sergiocabezuela9713]

+Phillip Daniel Janet has proved in the past as well recently in her concerts that she can dance stronger, sharper and smoother even if she's 7 years younger than Madonna. Watching her technical dance routines in her music videos and concert footage is more than enough proof she's way ahead of the rest. Now, don't get me wrong, I was also a huge Madonna fan growing up and still to this day listen to her past work. Janet was and still is a force to be wreckon with when it comes to her dance skills. ,

[@billrandolph5375]

+Phillip Daniel uh, no. Madonna may have practiced dance moves, ect...but, in her videos, as well as in concert, she has YET to display much of it. Janet trained under THE BEST performer/dancer there ever was, this guy...hmmm, what's his name.....wait for it...MICHAEL JACKSON......get over it...Janet ...not only is superior to Madonna in performing, she also writes many great tunes.....

[@yankees29]

I was a metal head back in the early 90’s. There were Metallica fans flipping when she released this. There was just no denying her talent. Incredible artist and so versatile.

[@davidhabert]

Yeah just imagine Janet and Metallica teaming up to perform this song, that would be something. What do you think? Just like you I'm also a metal head and have been for over 25 years.

[@pascalfarful952]

I mean, the guy who produced this video version of Black Cat just so happened to be Michael Wagener, the guy who mixed Master of Puppets so... you're really not far off :P

[@yankees29]

@@pascalfarful952 cool. This song rips! 🤘

[@aileenblas7669]

I was a senior in high school when this song was popular. Even though I listened to a lot of Metallica and Motley Crue, I still loved artists like Janet and Madonna. Rhythm Nation is still my favorite of Janet's and Black Cat ROCKS! . She's a true legend and her documentary was amazing.

[@KnotPhound]

@@davidhabert Considering the attitude of the band members back then, I'm pretty sure the last thing they wanted was to have something to do with a pop star as much as they respected her. In the late 90s tho, they 100% would've done it and i'm pretty sure that would've been a pretty iconic moment in music history.

[@ricter29]

One of my favorite songs by janet jackson! Black Cat! 🔥🔥🔥

[@1tarat72]

This song came out right when the heavy metal bands were very popular. I had liked everything she had done before this but this is when I was “damn Janet look at u girl rocking out”! If I’m not mistaken didn’t tommy Lee play drums on this? She is amazing then and now! No one Can’t touch Miss Jackson’s live performances over the years.

Because Janet and Michael have a lot of the same on mannerism I sometimes feel like I'm watching Michael from the Dirty Diana or Another Part of Me video. It's also because of the outfits. Two amazing sibling performers.
