Janet on the Arsenio Hall show 1989

Witness Janet's natural ability to transition to a prodigious dancer.

[@jwalt8019]

That Jackson smile is EVERYTHING.

[@hymansc1]

Everything!

[@jaleesatrevelyan1510]

She's so adorable. Although she has her own identity she just screams Michael's sister. No pun intended.

[@MekoBlu]

Ugh....She is just so beautiful... I can't take it...

[@antwan5313]

Janet Jackson is so beautiful!!!

[@meganthomas1779]

Love how she gave a tease of the chair routine. Nowadays you can't get a artist to do anything on the spot.

[@Shenruss]

God....she is (STILL) SO BEAUTIFUL....Here, she's kind of like that soft-spoken girl-next-door hottie you had THE biggest crush on in school. And she's matured/gotten better or more powerful in herself and work as she's aged. And Arsenio has a way of bringing a lot of honesty and fun out of the people he talks with; he must be a joy to interact with, seriously. Not many host can pull that off today without being needlessly scandalous or obnoxious.

[@c0mm0ns3nc3]

Arsenio was powerful back then, before they black listed him. So many artist and actors owe him.

[@wendywhoisit1819]

Why is he black listed?

[@shamondavis406]

@@wendywhoisit1819 I'm wondering the same thing 🤷

[@Theasmith1000]

He degraded black women didn’t he or was that somebody else?

[@Elena-er7zp]

he said he resigned because he wanted to spend more time pursuing acting

[@JAWrightonline]

He was cue-balled because he had Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan on his show as a featured guest in 1994.

[@HurricaneMari]

shes so soft spoken

[@mannyg.forever5730]

Janet was the whole package!! Lord the Talent is just out of this world!!

[@lovefood4eva1983]

I love Janet, always have and always will. she so talented, her and her brother Michael.

[@pympreaper]

Still crushing on J

[@4paigeletter]

This video reminds of when I was four years old and I tried to put keys in my earrings to be like Janet Jackson. Thank you for being a hero all these years Janet.

[@smithraymond09029]

Interesting; Janet and Michael both had the same voice.

[@Irockgswift]

Other than soul train Arsenio Hall brought hip-hop,r&b, etc to a mainstream audience.

[@MichaelMooreTheSecond]

I LOVED THE ALBUM, I STILL CHERISH IT TILL THIS DAY.

[@supervegeta4853]

[@msmoke1]

too cute! JANET!!

[@BYMEADRINK]

i love janet

[@marishlong7098]

Janet doesn't come off as shy(she's in the business) what she comes off as someone who isn't use to getting compliments or praise. Which is sad honestly. Such low self-esteem ingrained in that family.

[@joshuamcdowell5782]

+Marish Long Janet admitted in her book that she always been self conscience especially when it came to her body even when she was at her smallest

[@glockhudson8029]

So fine

[@catriniasmith8009]

I remember this interview

[@oubrioko]

Boy, Oh, I - Miss You Much! M-I-S-S You Much!

[@4paigeletter]

This is one the truest statements on youtube.

[@damonevans1042]

I. Like. Janet. Jackson. On. Thearensiohall. Show. She was. So. Cool.

[@gregorygriffin6341]

I may be 30% wrong-70% right, but after he invited the Honorable Brother Min. Louis Farrakhan on the show and they discussed the situation about MJ and everything else involving the media, things just weren't the same for him afterwards. It's what caused the show to be cancelled. Hope I helped you out.

[@terrencemalbrough5766]

I need Superman hearing to hear J speak.

[@baggergurl16]

Wow VH1 back in the day when they were all about the music 24/7.Now that music channel has gone to crap along with MTV.

[@shamondavis406]

@baggergurl16 I strongly agree with you!!

[@Hi.Shadow]

Janet!!

[@blklov33]

all I can say is wow!! I saw this when it aired,.... so long ago but like yesterday!! I hate it when they put Mike in it,, I mean ,ya knw!!

[@deanna81781]

He is hilarious lol

[@applesomething]

I love her shirt ^_^

[@ricky6935]

💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@enmaxus]

She dont like you either. I love Janet. ALWAYS have. ALWAYS will.

[@terryzt1164]

Arsenic Hall's skulll and head is different today than it is here in this video circa 1989. Now, ask yourself why that is.

[@jamaalb]

Probably due to age. Are faces and heads get bigger as we age

[@dimeziaire]

Why Would He Ever Scare Her Like That😂

[@hymansc1]

😂😂😂

[@nysitay7396]

Wow

[@marshacreary9771]

In black and white we're all shades of grey

[@lauraguy8054]

she talks so quiet! I have to strain to hear her!

[@shamondavis406]

@lauraguy8054 Nope, try again.

[@markmnorcal]

NWA on tour! 1989

[@poopsrus26]

I want that shirt! And Rhythm Nation 1814 >>>>>>>>

[@xanlysphynx8839]

What happen to his show again?

[@Tre404]

Prodigious means "large." Is that what you meant, uploader? lol.... I love when people try to use "big" words, and they have NO idea what they mean.

[@asareaisah5780]

When I see Ms. J, I also see in her Mr. M. They looked alike too much.

[@marshacreary9771]

Why would her jacket smell like Brut?

[@4687878]

Chuckii Booker was getting money producing ?

[@howarddavid31]

He was the music director for the Rhythm Nation 1814 tour

[@marih_2017]

look how lovely she was and still is and unfortunately shes wearing a designer shirt yet how is it we as black people help built up these white designers logos and businesses for years only to be repeatedly disrespected and teared down years later til now still back then we should've known better how repulsive they are in dealing with us but valued our dollars and business

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

and presidential candidates and people like Louis Farrakhan could you imagine Pres Obama at that time?

[@c0mm0ns3nc3]

@yosraz1 He was warned not to bring on Farrakhan because of The FIO's antisemitic beliefs... and you know who runs Hollywood. Well he did anyway and next thing you know his show was cancelled and he never did anything significant again, even though Eddie Murphy is one of his best friends. Heck even Charley Murphy is more popular than AH. LOL

what about yo mtv raps

[@djefardeur7958]

the old good time! now it's all about corona bullshit!

[@rgrndu]

Looks like it was filmed under water. 👎

[@notapplicable687]

rgrndu this is 1989 not 2018 of course the footage is not going to be high quality

[@rgrndu]

Not Applicable what?! 1989 should look fine. It looks like 1969.

[@enmaxus]

How do you know this? You eat meat? If you eat meat and wear or use LEATHER goods, you need to have a seat and be quiet.

[@markmnorcal]

Way too much awkward praise in this video. Jan thinks you clap like freaks.

[@Vulturep]

Don't worry, she wouldn't have liked you anyway.

[@Vulturep]

I wouldn't care if a child molester was disappointed in me.
