i literally just said the same thing to myself. both the song and the dance moves are timeless. im honestly asking someone to please name me one modern female performer with dance moves half as cool/talented as this...most of them now days call humping on stage dancing....how long will you simple ones love your simple ways?

People always talk about Michael’s dancing abilities. Janet is flat-out amazing. To me Michael stuck with a few core moves and didn’t venture far beyond those. Janet is a friggin athlete!

Maaaaan This is the video that first made me fall in love with this woman..She was soooo fine but the music…That Album…One of the greatest albums ever…😍😍😍

I would do that chair move, then bust the cabbage patch. She did all the dances we was doing, back in 1987. My generation had the best dances. Plus we had Janet And Michael ❤💯

She was always chasing the shadow of her brother from the start but in doing so she stumbled upon becoming one of the greatest musical acts there has ever been in the process. It’s astonishing that there’s two bonafide legends from one family, you can’t tell the story of 20th century music without them

That's right. Those artists can't light a candle to this talent. This is pure raw talent. Those artists you've mentioned have no talent really. All they know how to do is just be pretty and scream come do me. Sex sells. And they make their money.

[@nieceofhiphop4eva]

Normally siblings open the door for other siblings that wanna get into the industry, but Janet built her own path and opened her own door. I love how Michael and Janet always remained humble and NEVER competed with one another. You can tell that they danced and made music because it was therapeutic for them, not for fame or money. FOREVER AN ICONIC VIDEO.

Did a good job for sure but if you're talking about female artist yeah she talks it for sure nobody can top her but if you're talking about never mind it don't matter female artist what we're talking about and she does have the move and definitely back in that time and era you had a dress and it's funny to This Day in 2020 that outfit still is a 20 there's something about the Jacksons. Just knew how to dress and you how to Captivate an audience regardless all of them especially though Janet and Michael the two most talented Jackson's the most famous Jackson's to be exact.

The Jacksons became famous in the music industry only because of one reason. Their SOB of a father! Michael Jackson was playing in sleazly strip joints at the age of 6! So Joe Jackson their father will most definitely be categorized and labeled as an SOB!
