Janet Jackson Reaction Rhythm Nation (AMAZING!) | Dereck Reacts

#janetjackson #janetjacksonreaction #rhythmnation
Hi all, Dereck Reacts back at it again with another new video, and this time I react for the 1st time ever to Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation. See how I react to Janets dance moves, and addictive beats!
*Also after viewing the video I did notice that even though this was shot back in 1989, with those social-politcal issues I mentioned. A lot of that is still relevant today, Janet was so ahead of her time with these discussions!

This song is more relevant now than ever.

[@andimusicjunkie3990]

This sound was totally new in 1989...

[@mrbrownroyyal]

Yes but funny it samples a song from the 70's ha!

[@sunbeam231171]

Minneapolis Sound

[@mrbrownroyyal]

@TP Yes!

[@jakobmetselaar3308]

Janet is the Empress Of Pop 👑

[@devhassoul]

period.

[@Matuteilcapo]

Janet Who? Someone's sister whose career died at that embarrasing performance more than ten years ago? LOL #Nipplegate #Atrociuos #RIPJanetFlopson

[@peachyqueen7856]

Matthew Figo And yet you still found time to go through this video and make a comment. Like he said Janet is the Empress of Pop! She will always be a LEGEND!

[@danieloconnell7876]

Probably one of the best choreogrpahy in any music video,, ICONIC

[@whynot2644]

Oh hell yes. I remember being 18 and Janet was everywhere. I played the tape in the car none stop😆😅😂 Love me some Ms.Jackson and thats Janet if your Nasty.

[@Metalphysicalpodcast]

My car ate my Janet Jackson cassette. I was so mad

[@htbald1]

You need to watch the whole short film to really get it. The whole short film included "Miss you Much" " the Knowledge " and "Rhythm Nation". Rhythm Nation is timeless if you think of the relevancy it has today. Another song that you should check out that too has relevancy today is En Vogue "Free Your Mind", that too has a video could easily be released today.

[@rachelolson5488]

YES!✌❤

[@bahamutskingdom]

YES YES YES! Jesus FINALLY someone else mentioned that song from En Vogue!!!! Chili Peppers Power of Equality So many others that I cannot think of off the top of my head. Janet truly began a movement of the time with this single, album, short film, and all of it.

[@mr.champagne6208]

This song and video was on heavy rotation around the world this song and video holds up even today Janet was ahead of her time and in today society this song is needed.

[@suavehinrg]

Janet's first fully socially conscience lyrical content in song. The song is even more relevant in 2020 than in 1989. On the album, it is followed by very similar songs "State Of The World" and my favourite, "The Knowledge" which she performed live fabulously in concert.

[@JemJam2976]

I still know all the words to this song after all these years. The whole Rhythm Nation album is 🔥

[@kadrae5277]

Rhythm Nation was actually a 20min short film that also had the I MISS YOU MUCH clip attached to it as well.

[@kaiatherton]

this Album is classic, one of my all time favs, Black Cat is an awesome track

[@beatrizds7353]

Janet QUEEN 👑🔥💃🏾🌟⭐

[@Elibel77]

The more people I see reacting to 90s singers, the more I realize that some kind of break happened at the millenium. Feminist and engaged artists (Janet Jackson, Madonna, Rage against the machine, the whole grunge gang, the hip hop pioneers) gave way to candy / fast food / sexualized pop... we listened to those as teens, so we fall a bit off our chairs today, seeing you guys discovering these gems. Even with 70s and 80s disco, with actual musicians and actual instruments... But hey, happy you found the goldmine! ;) thanks for your work, man!

[@jessicalynn8607]

Janet Jackson is everything!!!!

[@nymeria1160]

Mooooore Janet please! That's The Way Love Goes Miss You Much Love Will Never Do I Get So Lonely IF Again Anytime, Anyplace Control Go Deep Throb Got Til It's Gone

[@blkluv100]

These are some of my favorite Janet songs WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY WHEN I THINK OF YOU LOVE WILL NEVER DO WITHOUT YOU

[@paulg5548]

Can always rely on a Jackson for an immense dance break

[@helloalexa5035]

🔥🔥 Janet! She’s got so many great bops. 🙌🏾

[@DegrassiInstantStar]

YESS! More Janet, please!!!

[@KHALIFA1597]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 please react to more JANET

[@elysianfields504]

Do "IF" "I Get So Lonely" "Again" "Pleasure Principle", "Got Til Its Gone"...start there

[@rugby1971]

19 at the time, the tour was amazing

[@ryannunez3750]

Love Janet. 🙂. React to more of her videos 👍🏼

[@soundslike1life]

As relevant as it was back in 1989, with the black man killed by police officer in 2020.

[@JoyInTheLight]

Yes! Very relevant with Black MEN *and* WOMEN being killed & targeted by police for centuries

[@MrWalditto]

Please react to more Janet videos. IF, Escapade, Miss you much. So many videos to choose from.

[@kadrae5277]

Let's not forget that basis of this song was a sample of Sly and the Family Stone's THANK YOU FALETTINME BE MICE ELF AGIN. Jam and Lewis sampled the mid section of that song. But, they likely didn't have to go through much trouble clearing the sample since Michael also owned the publishing rights to Sly's music as well at the time. But, here's the original song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGalgWWBobV3arc

[@deborahdennehy9937]

She & the dancers were all amazing!! Can hardly believe it was in the late 80's, just incredible all round, she's a beautiful voice too!!

[@lanceflx63]

The song is more relevant now than ever. The song was sampling Sly and the Family Stone’s Thank You and was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

[@seawomancreativemedia8117]

You got it, Derek! Janet simply set trends.

[@kadrae5277]

Also, if the kid in the video looks a bit familiar, that's because he would go on to star in MENACE II SOCIETY in 1993. The kid is actor Tyrin Turner (now famous for portraying the character Caine in MENACE II SOCIETY as well as Rico in BELLY).

[@zanna90]

Saw her 2 times excellent!! Try some Donna Summer if you want some dance. I Feel Love - Timeless!

[@DADISSEXY]

ICON!

[@dorothymalloy1474]

You are so right. You are the only one that got what she was singing about that you understood, all the other ones who were watching the video didn't understand what the song was about kudos to you

[@-M0LE]

Dude I love how you FEEL the song so much Had to sub g

[@-M0LE]

Catchy tune with a positive important message Can you imagine someone In 2021 doing this

[@Dalasjanetluv]

Janet was woke before woke was even a word

[@chalmapatterson544]

With all due respect. She was aware of the importance of racial unity and expresses it as such.

[@Fordie47]

This was an awesome video. Michael Jackson step aside for little while, and let your little sister do your thing -- I mean her thing! And she did it very well here. She even discovered a hearty rock-and-soul voice within herself. The choreography was amazing. She asked her brother Michael to help her with this choreography. He suggested a more military style, and it worked! And she worked the hell out of it!

[@ronfarney6477]

Hello buddy 👋 I couldn't tell it was you lol 😊 she's brilliant awesome amazing woman she can dance sing like her amazing mj!!!! She's back in 2022 look out for it ok

[@oscardenacimiento4837]

I love Janet...

[@gavinwilson7889]

Still very relevant today and ICONIC!

[@gabrieltalavera4465]

This wasn't just a dance video....it was an artistic achievement. And in hindsight she exuded both masculinity in it's military movement but balanced it with her angelic voice. And she had the #1 selling pop record without showing any skin. It was Earnest, meaningful, and as of 2021 more relevant than ever. Sing it for the babies is right.

[@monaeblackeaglequeen8974]

She the queen

[@purpledragonfly313]

You should listen to Black cat, Nasty, Escapade, Miss you much. Same time and so good :) Of course also If and That's the way love goes. You'll get a kick out of Rope burn. What about is one of my faves. Just so personal and heartbreaking.

[@josephineclark5090]

One Of The Greatest Videos Ever

[@janetjacksonbrasilbrasil]

❤❤

[@misstee9453]

I still have me key earring 😂

[@brianlee9108]

Please react to Ms Jackson's Love Will Never Do (Without You), Runaway, Together Again and All For You. You will be fascinated. Thank you.

[@northystwinkle6973]

loved your reactions and your takes on the song very well done

[@lindawhite2634]

Listen to Janet jackson BLACK CAT AND ANYTIME, ANY PLACE CONCERT VIDEO FROM THE VELVET ROPE TOUR. ROPE BURN

[@CCJD]

@Derek Reacts Janet asked MJ... "Can I use the Military stuff/dancing"? MJ said "I'll show you" LEGEND! Look it up! :D

[@zanealberto7510]

This rhythm is off the hook - love it! The dancing is SO COOL / I actually prefer Janet to Michael , but I love Love them both and always list3n ---second only to MADONNA 👍😎

[@tanyadavis6921]

check out her videos pleasure principle,alright, black cat, and if!

[@amandarodriguez4345]

Loved you’re genuine reaction!! Subscribing!!

[@Jh1847]

It's great to see everyone enjoy Janet's work. Here is the link to the full Rhythm Nation movie so you can see how it fits together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHeQYapvZbyHgLs

[@jsrichardson1]

You should react to some Paula Abdul. Cold Hearted Snake has great choreography like this. In fact Paula choreographed a lot of Janet's early videos

[@kaiatherton]

I always thought Paula choreographed this video, I know she worked with Janet a lot.

[@Kc20243]

Paula only choreographed 3 videos on Control album.. A man Anthony Thomas choreographed this video......y'all give Paula Abdul too much credit for Janet dance videos

[@marlarogers9304]

If you want a good laugh, check out Joseph Gordon Levitt, performing to this song on Lip-Sync Battle!!

[@ramonc1942]

I subscribed....I think you are awesome!

[@fireidar]

The boy in the video is actor Tyrin Turner.

[@michaeijackson5416]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@tachyonpulse]

Check out Janet's "If" video. The song and visuals are sick! Very sexy.

[@nunogouveia6458]

I love this video but do prefer 90's Janet ("That's The Way Love Goes", "If", "Together Again", "Runaway"... among many other amazing videos).

[@joeyburrell3207]

I’ve always said, Michael didn’t have anything on his little sis. Both Top Notch/legend performers. Also, we got to recognize and give our props to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from the Time. Incredible, hitmaker, legendary song writers from the 80s and 90s. They wrote so many hits for many different R &B and pop artist. The dynamic duo, + Ms Jackson = The dynamic trio.👍👍👍. Mark my words, these jams will be timeless just as Motown’s stuff.

[@ashleydixon4613]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt killed this on LSB!

[@mikedignum1868]

Have a listen to IF the video is amazing.

[@jackbarlow8520]

Dereck reacts to I need a man Eurythmics. This is janet at her best

[@cathyortiz1280]

Black Cat & IF

[@randychampion184]

also react to Nasty please!!

[@dallasdude2492]

I think these reaction videos would be better if the hosts would do a little research on the videos and music. Know the album, know that the beat is a sample, know that this video is part of a video film and was revolutionary at the time. Not to mention, how relevant this song and album is today.

[@toniowilliamkellyjennifer2676]

It seems like u don't understand this song And what it did for millions of Americans.... in 1989 it was speaking to shooting, poverty racial injustice all the themes that allowed her to tour off the rhythm nation cd 30 years later to sold out venues across the world

[@cathyortiz1280]

Watch Black Cat & IF

[@-M0LE]

Janet was in the shadow of a giant mega star who shared the same surname She was better imo

[@Mssinful75]

You put your head down the moment some good dance moves came up. But I don't think you saw him because you looked up like you're looking at your computer after that section of dancing. Just an observation LOL

[@shweetpotato]

wish there was more 80's rock, the most I can find is Heart..which is good, I'm an 80's gal and was pretty excited to find you..but..no rock
