Janet Jackson's musical emancipation. This entire album was a MASTERPIECE. Janet had something to say, something to prove, and she said it and proved it with nothing but power. Control is her story. In my opinion, it remains one of the most important R&B-pop albums of the last 40 years.

[@grarghov1]

@@evetats235 yes, they aren't the only group. But they are the main TARGET group, for several reasons - e.g. an average teen is not so individualistic like a well-grown-up and has constant needs of belonging somewhere, hence they are way easier to manipulate. And they can spend their PARENTS' money which we cannot deny because our children are our future.

[@erikhobart3597]

Janet Jackson is the queen of pop music now and forever

[@shereencollington7954]

My late father told me "you don't have to shake your behind on stage to be in control." He would have a heart attack if he saw what people on stage these days. Janet was fully clothed and celebrating her entry into adulthood. That's all I saw when I watched this video.

[@JOYMARIAMACK]

She was AMERICA 'S LITTLE TV SWEETHEART BACK IN THE 70's ....yess

[@JOYMARIAMACK]

ON GOOD TIMES "JANET PLAYED THE PART OF PENNY. I WISH A GOOD TIME 4 you!!

[@mizzjacquettaxx6974]

Janet was soo adorable with a cute chunky cheeks. Her dance moves are amazing!

[@TheRubyG]

Most beautiful smile 😊

[@gabrielluis8146]

I’ve always had a crush on janet

[@mercylago4744]

So young and cute

[@jajuangordy4394]

Willona and Penny reunited lol. But seriously, that's pretty cool that Ja'net Dubois play Janet Jackson's mother on this music video just like she played Janet Jackson's character Penny adopted mother on good times. Ja'net Dubois would also later appeared on Janet Jackson 20 yo album on one of the interludes.

[@champaigne16]

In 2023, this is still some of the best music ever. Better than the BS out now.

[@susancarter3864]

I put my life in Gods hands,I want him in control of me. I tried it my way and it wasn’t going good. I want God Our Heavenly Farther in Control of Me. ❤️🙏🏽

[@TheGuitarrmann]

I'm with you, Susan C!

[@larrynewman8861]

Be quite this has nothing to do with gif or your religion .

[@susancarter3864]

Larry Newman We all have our own OPINIONS, sooo ....

[@Girlboss5002]

@@susancarter3864 i mean Janet Jackson goes against every christian belief/value so this may be your opinion but it's irrelevant here cause the song itself is about being in control of yourself telling yourself what to do , not following the "rules/standards" of society , like christianity

[@Jen-nh7yw]

@@Girlboss5002 I think you missed what being in control means. The point is not what is chosen but who does the choosing. Janet could have chosen to be religious or not. The point is whatever a person does would be because they chose to do that and not some one else making the decision for them. Both Susan and Janet have made their own decisions. Christianity IS a choice. It always has been. It is not forced on you. In fact, it can only be received freely or it not authentic Christianity.

[@megaedubb3352]

All video stage performances should be this good…if not go home!

[@terrantystancil581]

When this video use to air back in the 80's, I never saw the skit part with her parents. I love that she used Janet Dubais (her mother from Good Times) to play her Mother in this video; with the same love. Genius.
