Janet Jackson interview (1995)

[@prettygurl747]

Y’all she was exhausted during this interview - she mentions it. Stop reading too deep into stuff that doesn’t require it. She’s human like all of us.

[@wiitrieve]

Take a minute (or FIVE) to imagine how different the world might be today without the musical, cultural, and philanthropic contributions of the Jackson family. Thanks to God for their continual reflections of love, humility, and beauty.

Look so beautiful with her hairstyle

Different? They mean nothing to me. No hate though, this Janet seems nice.

The Jackson are an incredibly good-looking family.

Facts

[@xanlyladybug3]

Yes some but imagine then with the natural nose...they wouldn't look so funny now.....unless it was a terrible nose....still doesn't justify the horrible plastic surgeons that operated on them.....when the are so rich and could choose the best.....or they asked for that specific nose style and got a package deal......

[@LittleCobra]

She looks absolutely stunning in this interview. 🥰

[@jerryjaguar3239]

this really feels like the velvet rope depression

[@PrinceMontrey]

Yes but this is during her design of a decade era. Maybe that’s when it started!

[@damyanthelion]

@@PrinceMontrey It makes sense. If you think about it, Janet had always been creating up to this point but with DoAD being a 10yr retrospective, there was likely a lot of reflection and creative stillness that accompanied that period, allowing time for a lot of inner stuff to bubble to the surface

[@ashley75102]

Ikr? I was just thinking that. She seems to be a lil off in this interview

[@Plkluv]

@@ashley75102why was she depressed ?

[@IllaDillaJ]

@@PlkluvI believe it had to do with childhood trauma and her marriage with James and Rene.

[@jakobmetselaar3308]

Wow! This is definitely a rare interview.

[@hellojerome]

This is a major interview contrary to what comments are saying. Bypass the bad sound and lighting. As the interviewer mentions we see she is “tired” but she is focused on answering as best as she can and doesn’t shy away from providing descriptive info or jokes here and there spontaneously. Most important answer is on shooting Scream with MJ… she has never provided these facts elsewhere. Janet is a pro at work, and on top of it she is very kind with the interviewer.

[@gerikara]

I love her soft spoken and being calm unlike being on stage

[@moviemantv]

Considering how the velvet rope came out 2 years later, I feel like this is during that depression and abuse times

[@IllaDillaJ]

she was abuse in this era?

[@Plkluv]

she was abused by who ?

[@prettygurl747]

Unless you’ve spoken to her personally, stop spreading false information.

[@moviemantv]

@@prettygurl747 Janet has a song on the album called what about which soeaks on abuse and in 2001 she said people asked if that really happened to her and she said yes and after the documentary, you can safely assume it was Rene

[@Tiripsroirraw]

I always liked her hair during this era, I know Janet has said plenty of times she loves cutting her hair into short cuts. It fits her very well, the DOAD era look was really soft / casual. Loved that era of her style

[@jessicalynn8607]

Janet is everything!

Look at Janet's face when she's asked about getting married around 16:00. She was already married at the time and it looks like she's smiling through her lie. LOL

[@ISVVVc628]

I've never seen her like this in an interview. Yes she's human & she's being gracious, but she is not feeling this.😀

[@Entertainer145]

💫 Even At The 1st 10 Seconds When She Looked Away Like "Hurry Up With This Damn Interview" 💫

[@charlienonya7016]

She just seems really tired. Could have had an off sleep schedule.

[@nena_gz]

Right, everytime she bounces that leg I think she's going to get up and leave! 😅🤣😅

[@lennysvibe]

This is Janet..I remember meeting her at this night club...After being in love with her for a decade...This was the energy she gave off, along with a sunken in face and dark eyes and scarf on her head with no make up....I feel out of love instantly...and I have never seen her the same. That bubly smile and innocence is not real.

[@00sbabyoldschoolspirit80]

@@lennysvibe when did that happen....and was she mean to you or something

[@hutch1197]

You can tell she was definitely in a bad place at this time. Also, most interviews are edited to make everything look better, so when you see raw, unedited footage, it all looks so mundane. P.S. She was only 29 here and being asked about aging. I mean, come on!

Anytime, Anyplace ( Wink for Her Hit Song😘😄) You See This Beautiful Woman, Your Heart Melts!!!! She might been a bit sad/ depressed just a tad here during this interview because as we all know life is hard sometimes. At this point in her life she was going thru some issues from her childhood/youth that she didn't get a chance to deal with, while still trying to be "JANET JACKSON, International SUPERSTAR" . Regardless, Janet is and always FABULOUS!!!!! 😷🙃😘😙😄😂.....The hair is Super Sexy and just her laid-back look, let's You know that Janet dresses for comfort when she gets the chance to just chill.

[@Fordie47]

Janet is a major superstar in her own right. Michael is a mega superstar compared to her, but he was at the game a lot longer than she was. Either way, they both found their way to the top, where they both rightfully belong.

[@mitchellbanks34]

For better or worse, all through the 70s, 80s, 90s, and the 2000s there was no escaping the Jackson family. All through the 70s The Jacksons/5 defined and set the bar for every teeny-bop boy band group that came after them and none of them did it quite as well as they did. They had the Saturday morning cartoon, merchandise, a Christmas album, a variety show, not to mention the countless television appearances, and Janet being on “Good Times” and Michael on the big screen in “The Wiz”. In the 80s Michael RULED the entire pop world, not just music. Janet was coming into her own as a recording artist and performer. The other members of the family had solo projects all throughout the 70s and 80s. The 90s saw Janet emerge as a bonafide Tour de force in the music industry as well as the beginning of her film career. Michael, for better or worst, was on the cover of every magazine and always on television but still had a very successful music career. The “SCREAM” VIDEO!!! 3T had a successful career in Europe. In the 2000s the family saw success with much more controversy. Michael’s usual bashing in the press, the shocking documentary in 2003, the court trial in 2005, Janet’s wildly famous Super Bowl halftime show controversy that is now famously known as “Nipplegate” in 2004 as well as the continuation of her music and film career and finally the death that made the world stand still, the death of Michael Jackson in 2009. Whether you like it or not the Jacksons were inescapable and the most publicized family in human history.

[@misscleo_]

Janet does NOT like the interviewer, her face says it all but she smiles for the camera or maybe she was just having bad days and not in mood to be social.

[@husamelzien5738]

She was in the midst of her depression that started on the Janet tour and continued up to the Velvet Rope so it was probably hard for her to fake being fine.

[@misscleo_]

@@husamelzien5738 Makes sense.

[@KnotPhound]

I wouldn't say it's about liking or disliking the person in front of you. In bad times, I behave like this even with my dearest friends. Sometimes you just aren't fully into yourself and that makes being around people a heavy task.

16:20 🤣 that’s my kinda humor

I think this interviewer is the reporter in the movie shark tale - her voice is really familiar to me (I watched that movie a lot as a kid).

[@seanfuller2603]

I love you

[@moni1952]

She admitted back then that she doesn't have a daughter. I don't know where that rumor came from.

[@KnotPhound]

It has to do with her first marriage, when it was rumoured that she had an early pregnancy that was kept a secret, even if any evidence of that was pretty much nonexistant and it was just a cash-grab tabloid to bait people into the media bullshit. Nowadays, it is easier to spread a lie, but back then, it was easier to make people believe the lies, mainly because there were not as much sources of information as we have now.

Janet looked like she didn't wanna be there.
