Janet Jackson Velvet Rope Special

[@Atl404sFinest]

Wow. I remember this special. This album came out when I was in 6th grade. I was bullied for being gay and was having some problems at home with my mom addicted to drugs. It was a really dark time for me. This album helped me cope. It was my safe place. Thank you, Janet, for this piece of work.

[@FreshhCutz]

That’s fire bro.

[@Rakim8]

It is an amazing and timeless body of work and can see how it would (and did) take you to a safe place 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@shakeyraware1563]

Hope you’re ok now sweetie

[@dontyouwonder]

this is beautiful. this album feels safe for me too. i always get back to it. such a underappreciated masterpiece

[@Joella22]

beautiful.

[@imalwaysright]

She’s so pretty, and nobody can rock that hair like her. “There’s only 15 songs” chile that’s more than what some artists can do, and all songs are good. The album is a masterpiece.

[@rvegas81]

A lot of younger folks unfortunately do not know how legendary this and Aaliyahs album were at this time.

[@rhason86]

Amen!!!

[@_unclecharles_]

idk what it is but i love the way she looks at him in all of their interviews

[@Sttephy30]

Janet Jackson is so classy. I like that so much about her.

THE VELVET ROPE IS AND STILL THE ALBUM

[@SeanWarren]

After re-watching this interview before I posted this video, I put the Velvet Rope back into rotation. Still sounds amazing!!! Timeless.

[@user-xl1rb5ll4k]

She has so many great song is her overall discography.. I wish she still had the energy to perform the way she did back then

[@user-xl1rb5ll4k]

@@djohn515 I posted that comment before she did that performance, she did great but the way she drew the crowd in, in the 90s and 00s is unparalleled. But she did AMAZING!! Vocals and performance so gravitating!

[@murcia27ny]

Man, MTV had love for Janet

[@bogusbogus8052]

Except for Kurt Loder who was basically on Madonna’s payroll. If he is involved there was always some type of shade or slight toward Janet because of his Madonna

[@bxbypluto1079]

22:01 the way she smiles at them dancing to her song😊😊😍

[@SeanWarren]

She is so cute!!!

[@BeccaSupreme9197]

FINALLY someone uploaded the full special!!! Thank you!!

[@SeanWarren]

Its not the complete show, I believe I missed the first few minutes. So very happy to share.

[@BeccaSupreme9197]

@@SeanWarren ohhhh ok!

[@ISVVVc628]

There's a whole segment in the beginning missing where the dancers were introduced and they each danced but great to see this again. I still have it at home when I taped it on VHS.😂

[@MedyLema]

I was very little but I do remember this on MTV Janet was mentioned everywhere that year

[@beautifulibra]

She is so beautiful

[@jambrook1978]

I just graduated high school and I remember going to tower records and getting this cd!

[@yannisstath]

its great to have experienced this era

[@mouthygirl95820]

This is my first Janet album. I got it close to all for you album lmao I was late. Anyways been a big fan ever since! Thank u so much for uploading cause I missed a lot being younger.

[@JloveLamar]

This was the first Janet album I personally went out and bought :). I had RN1814 and Janet, tho

[@amiehampton7070]

@@JloveLamar Mee too. I got four Janet's album now

[@bridgetisjonesing5007]

This was high school for me!

[@blondelefant2119]

25:00 What we all didn't know was that her name was actually Janet Elizondo at that time!😅 That's why she was quick to correct him!

[@TheJoshGaGa]

that was so iconic 🤣

[@derekbasham5381]

This is what MTV should be about! Now you never see any videos nor do they do anything like this towards artists. Now it’s about “ Jersey Shore” & there’s nothing to like about it in my opinion 🤷🏽‍♂️ . . . . sry to anyone I offended regarding my opinion.

[@ISVVVc628]

The 1st part of this program is missing but thanks for this.

[@lovely0517]

Ananda Lewis. I missed those days. ❤️

[@juguitodenaranja]

Janet wasnt feeling the interviewer

[@SeanWarren]

Why do you say that? Bill and Janet had a really cool friendship. Bill did the reporting for MTV at a lot of Janet related event for MTV over the years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2jKc3uJh9SEbLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmS2iYyNZtZprdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIbad2B7n8-NbKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnO7ipdtpNCIfs0

[@hellobecky84]

Janet and Bill were actually close, and she often did her MTV interviews specifically with him.

[@Deon158]

yep...he wasnt listening at all..the ear piece, all that adjusting..which means they were feeding him the questions
