[@turkeyroast100]

people say Janet can't sing, but I haven't come across anybody yet who can cover a Janet song and do it justice.

[@turkeyroast100]

Buhle Stuart Qwabe nah I disagree. Have you listened to 'what can I say'? She has many songs with very difficult melodies.

[@Jouetsenjeu]

Fact. I went to Janet’s concert a few months ago. She sang live and sang her butt off. Her melodies are pure.

[@peculiarjazzj]

She can sing..everybody sings differently and in their own unique way.

[@harukirahul123]

damn so true

[@voodeux_badeux]

The real award here is having the legendary Maya Angelou speak about your career and talent!!!! Maya don't just show up for anybody!!!

[@jacquelinemwaniki6465]

You're right

[@lancecdcw]

Absolutely right!! That was the honor, not necessarily that performance tribute!

[@z15503]

who else thinks Janet is the cutest girl on earth? She is my favorite till I die!! FOREVER A JJ FAN!! 😘😘😘😘😘

[@AudibleArtBeta]

At 6:48-6:50 Janet tilted her head like "That's NOT the right note, but I'll let it slide.'

R.I.P. Heavy D

[@mikel1814]

The best thing about this tribute is the instrumental of "What About" before The Velvet Rope was even released and every Janet fan was like WHAT IS THAT SONG?!?

[@ikexbankai]

Michael Foley omg I didn’t even spot that because obviously because I didn’t watch it live

[@playkma]

That video montage was so awesome!! The crazy thing is, that was up until 97. She's done so much more since then.

[@edf8833]

This is the best music era ever. No auto tune, just pure talent!

[@beatrixbrown9253]

Wow that's how you know the times is different now like Janet was getting tribute in her prime years that's crazy

[@missmyasia]

I met her the night b4 this @The four seasons hotel in ny. She was so sweet, but looked sad. As far as this tribute, theres a subtle brilliance and power to what Janet does musically. The singers chosen couldnt recapture that. Oversinging is NOT singing!

[@cameronhailey1627]

Miss Myasia she was going through a depression at the time. That's what her album "velvet rope" is about.

[@HollyGolightly74]

true she has a subtle sweet voice

[@konstantinagkika5491]

WOW so nice to see this. She is a major talent still. She is such a joy to listen too Love her RIP Heavy D.

[@BEEyonced]

Yeah and besides DRM it DOESN'T REALLY MATTER! TVR was the epitomy after janet. and 1814. She ruined her career with nothing but trash for 20 years! If she had retired in 1999 her myth would be undisputed Queen of Pop. It was a giant decline for both Michael and her Jackson-Hardcore Fans suffered like hell. I retired in 2008/2009. Music/Talent/Art is dead. Sometimes I need to skip back to my youth memories in order to keep going these shitty times. Fukk Tschasssdin Weener, Shitney Spears, Paris'es, Siliconasses and all of entire nowadays XYZocialites. It's for dumbing down trash millenials into WW3.

They don’t sound good doing it lol

[@_Adorezy]

Her face 7:22 😭😭😭😭😭

[@3820MD]

For everybody saying this tribute was horrible need to realize that Janet was not known for her voice. Because of their vocal ranges; Brownstone's, Deborah's, and Chantay's voice was just too strong for that song. They sounded good, they just needed to hold back on a few their notes to mesh with the song.

[@laurensmith7124]

3820MD they sounded terrible

[@duwainewalker5270]

I disagree; Janet's voice is light, emotive, and very distinctive. Although her voice lacks range, it is sweet, and her tone is soulful.

[@tukama2010]

That performance was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

[@mrsstrawberryluv1]

Please don't dang her song THAT'S The Way Love Go omg they tire it up practice the words please

[@lingtheking]

Too bad the audio is shit

[@laurensmith7124]

Janet was unimpressed and rightfully so they was horrible and butchered her song

[@cnsuela]

I like Brownstone bought their CD or was it Cassette anyway didn't like their version of "That's the way love goes" but I like the overweight lover himself Heavy D rap version of it.

[@arabking6251]

She is the female version of Micheal Jackson.

[@tanyadejesus6454]
