JANET JACKSON - ESCAPADE (music video reaction / first listen!)

[@badhairday_247]

The track is musical sunshine. Great reaction.

[@Winnib7479]

Janet Jackson is the most versatile artist in the entertainment industry, her music catalog is unmatched. She is THE ONLY musical artist who has been nominated for a Grammy in 5 music genre's, POP, R&B, Dance, HIP HOP, and ROCK ( For Black Cat which she wrote the lyrics and guitar riffs).

[@Greystoke1986]

How could you not have a smile after listening to this song??? Janet Jackson is wonderful! So HAPPY! I haven't heard this in so long!😄

[@senitralane9187]

Janet was just about the only one that was neck and neck with her bro Michael... here in the states and most of the world it was all about Janet and Michael there both are just super iconic #Rip Michael Jackson

[@mobius3001]

Oh Johnny. Welcome to Janet!! This entire album is a masterpiece, and if you loved "Escapade", then wait until you hear "Love Will Never Do". Please do that one. You will be amazed.

[@kaiwoods6260]

LWNDWY Is such a beast of a song. Up there with my favourite songs of all time

[@bridgethegapreactions]

Love Will Never Do sounds like a strong recommendation!

[@mobius3001]

@@bridgethegapreactions one of the greatest pop songs ever written.

[@missgenius100]

Agree! My most favorite Janet song @@mobius3001

[@marquesq.4499]

LWND is great and visually stunning. I think you'd love 'Alright' as well. Fun, joyful, great lyrics and music with a music video that's incredible and a feast for the eyes. Great reaction, as usual!

Thanks!

[@DaymoJH]

Yes Yes , Janet is back 😊👍🏻

[@daniellaplume3840]

I love this album❤. Janet all day any day

[@theKarstenR]

That beat drop in the beginning, tough... A timeless classic. As far as other songs from this (pretty much perfect) album are concerned my favorite single (apart from "Miss You Much") is definitely "Love Will Never Do (Without You)". Beautiful video too. And speaking of videos, "Alright" is another one that you should not miss out on. Absolute masterpiece.

[@joelscottarnold3262]

Oh THE MEMORIES!!!! It almost brings me to tears with happiness. This came out when I was working in a record store and we played this entire album over and over. Janet is just stellar, and this album is a masterpiece. Such a glorious time to be young and having this to dance to!!!

[@dm3889]

I’m doing a petition to get Janet her own tier lol. She deserves it lol. Please do a reaction to “Alright” it’s one of my favorites from that decade.

[@peteh4122]

This song is pure pop joy. And seeing your reaction of sheer happiness is ace

[@J.Fro90]

JOHNNY!!! Thank you! for the shout out & for more Janet! And YES! WHO COCULD NOT LIKE THAT, that energy, and it's just so top notch, the video & the video, what I love about this choreography is its just so TIGHT, that's the key to Janet's, the precision & speed is EVERYTHING no matter the routine, it has to flow, and like you said the kick moves are my favorite in the choreography because it's just so fast. I love that she has an alternate remix with complete rocker/yelling vocals & it's so different but its just such a good time, like you said everything about this song & melody is all smiles. And so am I since you did this! I pushed play SO fast man lol. and again thank you for the shout out, 1 Im most excited for you to do is my favorite Janet song, and it's from this era, and I want you to do the album version, Love Will Never Do. BEAUTIFUL video too, it's the st video where she showed skin at all, but I don't like that the video is the single mix, granted the album versions over 5mins, for me it's such a eargasim (as mentioned in The Boxer 1 of my favorite qualities for a song to have) of evolving sounds & moods & her vocal layering is SICK and she really shows off every bit of her range in that one. So I'm excited for you to get there but Im just so happy we got here!

[@bridgethegapreactions]

Awesome, thanks, I will take all that on board! If I end up doing the video, don't worry - I will react to the whole album at some point!

[@sxm76]

There's a Live video where she did this at AMA's that is really good. Great show.

[@cvc1814]

Written and Produced by Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and a #1 hit

The dream team

[@Bret121]

Timeless classic early 90s summer jam still looks fresh today love Janet ❤

[@amontaineaurore4700]

The Rhythm Nation album should definitely be listened to from beginning to end, as it is a socially-conscious concept album. I think of it as Janet's What's Going On. I can't wait for you to react to it. Thanks Jonny!

[@norenore9944]

❤ Janet Always!! So many influential songs!! Her videos are ALWAYS Great!! You should listen/react to her song “Let’s Wait Awhile” if you haven’t… Love your reactions, you truly appreciate great music & great singers

[@pixarian]

My fave on RN1814. So infectious and cheery, makes me wanna get with fam & friends and have a good time. And yes, that pre-chorus is beautiful!

[@Chefcorky]

What was great about Rhythm Nation was it continued the momentum Janet started with Control. Her first 2 albums were under her father's management. When she decided to seek different management, it freed her musically. Control was her independence. Rhythm Nation was her freeing others. It started off with a series of songs addressing societal issues. And with I Miss You Much, she shifted the tone of the album with that statement: "Get the point? Good. Let's dance". And Escapade was a continuation of the spirit of "let's talk about what's going on...but let's have an escapade, too!" Love Janet, Jimmy Jam and Terry for the concept of that album!

[@zanyzander]

The singles are fire from this album.

[@therealmrssmith8443]

We ❤ Janet Jackson

[@DaymoJH]

Janet for me came into prominence in the UK with the Janet album , a flurry of UK 😅Top 10 singles with a good chunk of Top 5’s for the next decade cemented her. I think she has placed around 35 songs on the UK top 40

[@imalwaysright]

It’s a shame UK mainstream slept on Control and RN. Possibly because they were rnb/new jack swing focused?

[@foxesamu]

This is definitely a defining/signature song for her and honestly for the ‘80s Minneapolis sound in general. So classic and still gets play on US radio and in grocery stores, more than most of her hits which may have been bigger at the time! Janet definitely wasn’t big in the UK until the ‘90s. The Rhythm Nation album spawned seven top 5 hits in the US (still a record!), and zero top 10s in the UK!

[@purpledragonfly313]

Lovelovelove this song! Always loved it and I was little when it came out. It's just so happy and makes you want to dance. For me my biggest stars were Madonna, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Prince, Cher, Bon Jovi and the list goes on... But I by far listened to Madonna and Janet the most. Great reaction!

[@mariamarie862]

It's one of my favorite videos from Janet.

[@MsMelyjean]

Joyful. You captured it in one word.

[@iwdws]

I was 13 in 1989 and this started me loving jan til this very day. 💜

[@PH-vv1ky]

I cant speak for the 80s being born in '86, but i do remember Janet being huge during the 90s when i was young. She was everywhere, and in the 2000s. I remember secondary school (I'm from Glasgow) when All For You came out it was huuuge and every girl did that song at the school talent shows etc, they all wanted to be her lol

[@CLos22]

It’s awesome to see reactions to music from my generation! The context at that time is even more amazing and buzzzing!

Thank you for finally doing more Janet! If you like this, then you've GOT to watch music video "Alright." But it has to be the version with Heavy D. Here's a link to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIPYoKmAaM2Db9E

Yes Johnny!! 🤗 Janet!! You might not get as much clicks and views for a Reaction to Janet (for whatever reason…puzzles me forever as it always has) but knowing you from other reactions and being a Patreon (M.C.) I am pretty sure there will be more …as it’s about to happen with Kylie ✨ so finally all of my three favorite Ladies are present on your channel 🙏🏼

To be fair, I get quite a few Janet clicks, it's just hard fitting in all the reactions I want to do! I always want to do more janet
