I was in the audience for the taping of this video. My best friend and I went to the stadium ticket booth the afternoon of the sold out show and sure enough some credit cards got declined and they had seats available for that night! We were 17 and had 8th or 10th row. We had no idea they were going to film. After the concert someone came on stage and said they were shooting Janet’s new video and if you wanted to stay you had to stay the whole 2 hrs or leave right away. We stayed and she must have performed this song 2 dozen times while all this huge equipment was swinging around. It was pretty cool for a bunch of teens.

[@VitaminJay12]

I was there too!

[@chelsea747]

Cool!!

[@Destyn2b]

What an awesome experience!

[@michelleboyer9506]

Lucky 😊

Janet Jackson was killer in the 80’s. Always wrote great songs to dance to.

[@sheilameyers152]

Rock it Janet! My daughter would play the air guitar while we danced to this….splits we tried hard! So much fun!

[@lanceflx63]

This was actually from her first tour in 1990.

[@001spring]

She was even better in the 90's and early 2000's

[@lisacox3750]

@@001spring Yep! She came into her own starting in the 1990s.

[@afry6400]

She and Paula Abdul both.

[@robertg7396]

Janet ruled the world back in the day. I remember watching her rise, and escape from Michael's shadow, and completely create a lane all her own. She was a total babe too. Haha 😄

[@Winnib7479]

Janet wrote and produced the music for Black Cat which was nominated for Best female Rock Performance at the Grammy's. Janet is the ONLY Artist in history to have Grammy nominations in Pop , Rock , Dance , Rap ( song with Busta Rhymes) , and R&B. Something even her brother Michael never accomplished in his awesome career.

[@thejamminator]

That's a brilliant fact!

[@Murph_.]

GOAT...

[@zmbdog]

I really think this could've (rightfully) earned her a hard rock/metal nomination as well but it was only the second year of that category and they were likely hesitant due to the backlash they got the prior year when Jethro Tull won over Metallica (and Gn'R not even being nominated).

[@farghifar]

Also the first woman ever to be nominated for producer of the year

[@jerodday8111]

She still has this record in the Guiness Book of World Records

It’s refreshing to see younger generations listen to all kinds of music. I’m 50 and listen to everything from the 50’s to current.Have a jukebox in my head 😂❤

[@lindagaudin9546]

I could not agree with you more Kimberly! The first Rob Squad reaction I saw was Nights in White Satin, and I remember thinking how wonderful it was for these two young people to see & listen to the Moody Blues for the very first time!! I’ve been hooked ever since! They have brought so many favorites of mine back into my life, and turned me on to many more artists I’ve never even heard of! Rob Squad Reactions is the best, notice how all the others follow in their footsteps!?!

[@pamyaccarino7838]

I'm 53 and still listening to every decade and genre. My jukebox in my head is so random I never know what is going to pop in lol

[@poguemom3]

[@marybaillie8907]

This was from Janet Jackson's 4th album from 1989. It was titled Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 and made it to Number One in the US. Just an amazing album from start to finish. And yes Janet can dance!!! Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@palmirasanchez]

Your so sweet! Love sent to you all the way from TEXAS!💙💙💙💙🇨🇱💙

[@edwardreidt1230]

that whole CD was great,and great concert

[@oskarobit]

Almost everything due to Jimmy Jam y Terry Lewis, both close to Prince, who learned quite a lot from The Purple One and they did show it here. The sound in the album, that I played a lot back in the time, is the prove. :)

[@bspsdad]

GREAT ALBUM!

[@davidhabert]

@@bspsdad Your not wrong there, but it's not just the music that people need to listen to, they should pay closer attention to the lyrics and messages in that album. She wasn't wrong 30 years ago and she isn't wrong now.

[@jeremyallennossette6426]

I hope that someone mentioned that Vernon Reid from "Living Colour" did do the guitar solo on the single but Janet wrote that guitar hook when she was only 19 years old! People don't give her the credit she deserves and it's a damn shame. Please do "If" by Ms Jackson ❤

[@anjiharrell6175]

Since you guys loved Janet rockin’ so much it made me wonder if you guys saw En vogue’s Free Your Mind yet? R&B sisters rockin out! Free Your Mind was a banger for En Vogue as well. I hope you get a chance to react to them soon. 👍🏽

[@tobiassabot5851]

That's actually a great suggestion, that one needs to be on your list 8)

[@kbrown5523]

They have so many great tunes, but Free Your Mind is my favorite for sure!

100% yes!!

[@andreadeamon6419]

I agree!

[@smallandfoolish3703]

Yes! Definitely Free Your Mind!!

[@singingwordwright148]

NO ONE expected this from Janet Jackson when it came out, either. We were blown away. Which is why this song hits so hard. Rhythm Nation was a terrific album all around, especially for being that socially-conscious album that every performer has to put out at some point in their career, where they let the music be about the issues they care about. I highly recommend any number of tracks from it. Obviously if you both saw the halftime show, you've already heard "Rhythm Nation." I don't remember what other songs she did that night. "Miss u Much" would be a great song to react to if you haven't heard it already. And if you want the softer side, "Living in a World They Didn't Make" will give you CHILLS. Especially this year, I think.

[@baronvonsatan]

They reacted to Rhythm Nation.

[@HistoriaOrbis74]

Janet Jackson wrote this song, including the guitar riff. She has a very hard rock/ METAL side of her that many don't know of. It's a song that is loved by the Hard Rock/METAL community.

[@theresataylor6675]

Tommy Lee said this was one of the best rock songs he's ever heard. I was blessed enough to see Janet in concert right after this album came out. I was blown away.

[@Murph_.]

Janet is one of the most talented women in music of all time. If she's not the GOAT, I don't know who is. LOVE that woman so much! Vernon Reid is from that band, and he's the guitarist on the stage.

[@matthewvade6553]

As soon as I saw what you were about to watch, told myself, "Well, Jay's gonna like this one!" This song not only went to number one on the charts, it also helped Janet set a record when it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance. That nomination made her the first artist to be nominated in five different Grammy genres. I think she still holds that record, but I may have missed someone breaking it somewhere along the line.

[@trinkab]

Janet and Michael started doing stuff more together in the late 80s as Janet was coming into her own (Rhythm Nation). This was about the same time (about a year apart) as Michael's Dirty Diana and you can sort of see a similar vibe her. They did eventually do a song/video together in 95 called Scream. Check it out!

[@jp3813]

Two years, actually. Dirty Diana was released as a single in April of 1988, while Black Cat was in August of 1990. The albums that they came from were released in August 1987 and September 1989 respectively.

[@trinkab]

@@jp3813 fair enough, however, they are very talented musical siblings, I suspect they actually talked to each other about their music they were making.

[@amandabispo2949]

Dirty Diana is one of my Favorite MJ songs...true banger!

[@trinkab]

@@amandabispo2949 I admit when it first came out I was confused because it wasn't immediately danceable. I had to watch it a few times.

[@matthewenies3668]

If you want a song from Janet that can’t be matched for its hook is ‘If’ from her 1993 album

[@amandabispo2949]

Yes!! I made this same song suggestion..."If" is fire!! 🔥

[@lisacox3750]

This is still one of my favorite JJ songs, please I love when she performs it live.

[@NocturnalNuggets]

I was just coming to find this comment! 💯

[@robtucker6303]

During this period of time… there was no one like Janet for me… I played Control… Rhythm Nation … Janet … great music. Beautiful woman… she was incredible.

[@richardc8795]

Was? She’s not dead you know. 🤔

[@davidhabert]

You may find this hard to believe Rob, I was still listening to the Rhythm Nation album six years after it came out. The main reason for that wasn't just because of the music, but I was inspired by the social messages that she was saying and singing on that album, she wasn't wrong then and she isn't wrong now.

[@robtucker6303]

@@richardc8795 Of course not… but for me, the best of her music was before The Velvet Rope Album…

[@sallyh5413]

I was extremely fortunate to go to this concert (Rhythm Nation Tour) as an adolescent. It was one of the most exciting times of my life, she was an absolute dream come true. She is still my idol. 💗

[@miss_nelson5468]

I'm so blessed to have seen both Janet & M.J. in a live concert. I saw M.J. in Dallas on his Bad Tour & of course Janet on her Rhythm Nation tour in Germany! Such a great era!

[@joeb1528]

Saw her in Berlin on that tour.

[@davidhabert]

I've seen Janet in concert on her Rhythm Nation tour and then during the Janet tour in London, England. I found I enjoyed the Rhythm Nation tour a lot more. I'm more of an old school heavy rock/metal fan nowadays and I've been to many rock/metal concerts in my time. But not one of those concerts even came close to matching the Rhythm Nation tour because it was the best concert I ever went to.

[@EVGriffinJr]

LOL! You didn’t know Janet could go there! Excellent choice! Check out “if” by her sometime! That one goes hard rock too!

[@poguemom3]

Love that one!

I think this is her BEST song. It rocks, she is fine and you want to go crazy. Love this song!

[@katherineharman9289]

I was lucky enough to be front row at the Rhythm Nation tour. The only reason I was in the front was due to a broken leg, so we got special seating. I almost didn't go because of my injury. Had no idea how I was going to get to our far away seats. But there was NO way I was missing Janet! Imagine my surprise when they escorted me right to the front. 😲I am sure that would not happen these days. But thank you to whoever wheeled me up front. 🙂

[@angelaluz405]

This is, hands down, my favorite song by Janet Jackson!

[@edkeaton]

Janet Jackson is incredible! I had both "Control" and "Rhythm Nation" back in the day! 👋😎

[@cariblount6639]

You should check out the song “Scream” by Michael & Janet Jackson. It is hella awesome. This song has always been one of my faves of hers & I’m so glad you were able to listen & now love it too! Keep on Rockin’ you two! 🤘🤘🤘

[@cynthiawallace4995]

I think I heard or read that she actually wrote this song.

I really, really, want to see the two of you react to Janet's "If". Definitely watch the official video for that one.

[@liz6965]

This is such a killer song and Janet was the absolute queen in the 80s. I would sooooo love you to do a reaction to Janet’s performance at the Grammys in 1987 “What have you done for me lately” - I remember recording this performance on my VCR cos I knew she was going to be on and I memorised her moves and danced it everyday until my tape got so worn out chewed up and it then was gone 😩 but I have now found it on YT - you will LOVE it kzbin.info/www/bejne/aamTeXZ7a6psq9U … when music award shows and performances were phenomenal!!

[@raymondreid4987]

She was a superstar when she was a child and as she got older she just became so much more, a top diva Goddess.

[@oneday1012]

I went to her " Rhythm Nation Tour " back in 1990 when I was working in a record store. "Black Cat" was just as exciting in person as it was in the music video. I remember it was my favorite song she performed in the concert.

[@Emily1672]

Right?! I actually went to the concert the night before my high school graduation. What a week that was!

[@ronnix23]

Btw Jermaine Jackson had some solo hits as well. Among them are Dynamite, Tickle Your Fancy (w/Devo), and Let's Get Serious.

[@jayce711]

Janet was it!! I was a MJ fan too, but Janet...on my goodness! She was an idol to a multitude of girls.!!

[@robertcherman]

Have you ever watched the show Diff'rent Strokes, that was my introduction to Janet Jackson, when she was an actress, before being a famous singer. She wasn't part of the main cast, but played a reoccurring role for 4 years from 1980 to 84. If you ever go to react to shows, do that show, maybe. I want to see people react to old 80s and 90s sitcoms, even maybe Little House on the Prairie or The Brady Bunch.

[@jerodday8111]

Janet was so good as an actor

[@jeremyallennossette6426]

Janet was also the first black woman to dominate the number one spot on the Billboard hard rock/metal chart with this song right here!!! With that being said though it was also her first song not to chart in the top 10 of the R&B charts. With so many color issues back in the late 1900's Janet at the time was not a colored artists but an artist period that all people loved!!! Great review 👍 thank you from El Paso Texas.

[@jp3813]

Unfortunately, many considered crossing genres back then to be a form of selling out. Hence, Whitney Houston was booed in the Soul Train Awards for apparently sounding too white. Even Metallica's Black Album was controversial among metalheads for being more radio-friendly.

[@lisacox3750]

@@jp3813 this is very true. It's complex though. I think it's more complex than "selling out". The reality is that as a black artist if you stick to R&B for example...you aren't going to have the same success. It's unfortunate but it's a fact. That's why a lot of black artists switch over to pop...so in a way...they ARE doing it for money and fame. They DO sell out "in a sense". They won't have the same money and fame sticking to jazz or blues or R&B. And I've seen some of them switch over to pop and (for me)...I've seen the quality of those individuals' music drop by switching over. There is just a raw and grittiness that is in the more "soulful" music that can't be replicated when you do pop. But from a financial (for them) and marketing (for the record labels) standpoint...I get it why people go commercial. They have bills to pay and they will do what they need to do to sell their music and make money. They make it hard for black women...that's why Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson were quickly called "sell outs".

[@jp3813]

@@lisacox3750 Is it automatically just all about money & fame for black artists or can they actually be given the benefit of the doubt that they're simply exploring genres and widening their artistry? I highly doubt that Prince was struggling financially when he was accused of catering to white audiences.

[@bertisjordan1085]

Janet is my Baaaaabaaaa! From the time I was a teenager and she was on the show Fame. You have to react to "Control"

[@Looneyintheboonies]

Yay!! I can't remember how many times I've almost begged for this one, telling reactors how she was nominated for awards in 5 different categories and won for best rock video that year! This song has been covered by various metal bands and at the time it was out, she was arguably more popular than her famous brother! Thank ya'll for getting to this one, it was a BIG crossover hit for her!

[@endoraismygma]

This entire album is 🔥. Had a friend who saw her live during this tour and said he'd never sweat so much lol. She said Michael taught her to never leave the audience wanting for more. He said these ppl paid to see a show so give it all you got. 🤧💜

[@sawin-rf7yr]

Please do more Janet and another artist I know you'd love is Jody Watley. Good songs to start with by her is Real Love and Looking For a New Love.

[@etc7070]

When this came out when I was a kid, I obviously already knew her and her music. But she was pop, and I was at heart more of a rock fan. So when I first heard Black Cat? Instant love! Glad you finally got to see this one and I knew your minds were going to be blown.

Janet was such a big part of my childhood as Penny on the show Good Times. She was so cute and sweet on the show. It was hard for me to accept her as anything other than Penny. If she had made movies and TV shows rather than music, I'm sure she would have been just as successful. Very talented lady.

[@DC_Prox]

I was a dance DJ in the early and mid 90s, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 was an essential record in my crate. She had already proven that she could make good music by that point, but the spectacle and production value of Rhythm Nation showed that she was on the same level as Michael, and that she deserved to be a star in her own right.

[@tombanaski3251]

More proof of the extreme talent of the Jackson family, and Janet is IMO the most underrated of them all. The joke about she and Michael being the same person ("hey you never see them in the same room at the same time") was as much a testament to their talent as it was their likeness at one point facially. Please, PLEASE make sure you do "If" by Janet and make sure you do the music video---it is Janet at just about her sexiest and her dancing in it won't be forgotten, especially by Jay. It's a great song, very empowering to women if you listen to the lyrics in spite of the sexiness she oozes as she sings.... Keep up the great work--I watch your review on both channels religiously...

[@milkspan2604]

[@barbarino2000]

I think they are ready for “Scream”. Underrated music video from Michael and Janet , both at the end of their line, and bringing it HARD one last time - and as a duo.

[@HeathersCrochetCorner]

Miss Janet had the huge advantage of coming from a very musical family. She's young enough to have watched her brothers (Jackson 5) and to watch MJ cross over from Pop to Rock with "Dirty Diana" with Slash on guitar and Eddie Van Halen playing the solo in "Beat It". She also was in the movie "Poetic Justice" with Tupak, something worth checking out on your movie reaction channel.

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

Don't forget Jermaine Jackson's "Why did you do what you did"

[@allieren]

This album (Rhythm Nation) and her subsequent album, Janet, are her best in my opinion. “If,” “That’s The Way Love Goes,” and “All For You “ from the Janet album are a must-listen.

[@diosesdelamusica793]

Excellent reaction, that is why she deserved to belong to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she is a complete and versatile queen

I love that you're exploring different sides to Ms. Janet Jackson! If you want to see a different side again, definitely check out "That's The Way Love Goes". Other recommendations include "If", "Love Will Never Do Without You", "Escapade", "Miss You Much", "What Have You Done For Me Lately", "Runaway", and "Together Again".

[@tobiassabot5851]

Hehe I have suggested this one in comments a couple times and I'm so glad you are finally here! This is such an amazing performance! I grew up in the 80s and MTV was on every day in the house so I got exposed to tons of rock and pop from that era. This was absolutely my favorite Janet Jackson single and I still remember her performing it live at the MTV music video awards the year she won Breakthrough Artist. She stole the entire stage, slammed you with it and then handed it back when she was done. Heh Michael had his rock outings with "Beat it" and "Dirty Diana" but in my best imitation of Amber I'm gonna say "Dare we say Janet did rock better?" From the music, to the singing to the choreography this one just hits everywhere. Glad you enjoyed it. I'mma throw one more suggestion at you for next female Friday, one I haven't seen you get to yet that I have also suggested a couple of times. A grunge rock band called Garbage fronted by Shirley Manson, a Scottish singer. I recommend "I'm only happy when it rains" but they've got a few bangers.

[@wayneccj0710]

This is one of my favorite Janet Jackson songs. My very favorites are the times she sang with her brother Michael.

I'm a rocker at heart, but this song got me into Janet. And the fact that Nuno from Extreme played the guitar solo on one of the edits put the cherry on top.

[@miconis123]

A talented performer should be able to cross over to multiple genres. Janet with a guitar solo brings back great memories

[@snailysnail0]

Remember the first time hearing this song, being in my car and came on the radio. Janet was so hot and now she rocked! Didn't hear the song again for weeks, can only think the radio station played it well before it was officially released.

The way Justin Timberlake was treated versus Janet Jackson was the clearest demonstration that misogyny still has a strong foothold in the entertainment industry. Janet rocks! Her work with Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam was phenomenal.

Omg! One of my very favorite Janet songs! Probably in my top 5! Love y’all! 😊

[@crandyran]

Yall needed to crank it up!!!

[@vizzini589]

Black Cat was the only song that Jackson wrote herself on Rhythm Nation. Everything else was co-written and produced by Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam who really were responsible for creating not only her sound, but that of so many others. Boyz To Men, New Edition, Alexander O'Neal, Mariah Carey,, even some Chaka Khan and Usher as well. Legends.

[@XFLexiconMatt]

On the studio version the guitarist was Nuno Bettencourt from the band Extreme. Cool track.

Nuno Bettencourt is an amazing guitarist. I love the guitar solo in the Extreme song Get The Funk Out. It's actually one of Brian May's favorite guitar solos

Everything Janet puts out is awesome but this song is my favorite oh hers because it is so different from everything else she had done up to this point in her career and can't wait til more music comes out

It was such a blast to see the Rhythm Nation tour! We danced all night! 🐈‍⬛ ❤️🎶

The entire Rhythm Nation album is awesome and the tour was amazing.

Janet and Madonna are my absolute fave. I've seen Janet in concert 3 times and each time has been beyond amazing. I pretty much cry for the first 30 minutes from seeing someone I idolize so so much. Janet gives me life.

This was my first concert when I was 17. I love it!

YESSSS! I STOPPED MY MOVIE FOR THIS! AND ITS WORTH IT. 1ST, Amber, your mom is awesome! I'm on the same page as her with that. Now let's get into it, this makes me so happy that you choose to do if because choosing this as early as you did sets the tone that that you have to let go of expecting 1 kind of look or sound when if comes to Janet, what set her apart from her peers is how eclectic she's always been, and that's what's kept her going in a 40yr music career. And onto the song itself, it's quite literally 1 of my favorite stories. The album this is on is Rhythm Nation, and this is the VERY last song recorded for this album, and it almost didn't make it on there. The album was mostly done but Janet felt like it lacked some hard rock edge, but her writing & producing team were already working on the next project, so Janet said "OK, I'll do it myself". So Janet wrote & produced & composed this song largely alone but with the help of guitarist & producer Jesse Johnson for help on the guitar solo. The song went to #1 on the hot 100, was Grammy nominated & gave her a record she has to this day of only artist in history to be nominated in 5 genres (best female rock vocal). She is in an entirely different league & lane as an artist & performer, and there's soooo much more I can't wait for you all to hear. I'm excited for Love Will Never Do & That's The Way Love Goes & Together Again

My all time favorite Janet Jackson song.

This is why Janet is so good. She did rock WELL and she’s got the “it” factor like very few in music have had. She draws u in and keeps it fresh.

[@MacDaddyRico]

I remember her when she acted in Good Times and Diff'rent Strokes... Then she busted out in song and dance and really shone...

[@Teresia12]

Janet so much better than Beyoncé or JLo. Her dancing is unequaled. Loved her in the 80s and love her now.

I'm surprised this song doesn't come up much when people talk JJ. Back in those days artists have it in them to do a little genre crossing. Everyone who worked on this track, brought it and nailed it. From JJ to the back up singers and the instrumentals. Some of my passengers get surprised when my stereo goes from Iron Maiden to JJ's Black Cat but they always get into it

[@ericsmith6615]

Wondering when you were going to get to this rockin' gem! Michael could rock too. The whole family is capable of it. Michael embraced it the most tho.
