Teyana Taylor Tribute to Janet Jackson BMI AWARDS 2018

Teyana Taylor does a memorable performance for Janet Jackson at the 2018 BMI AWARDS. August 30, 2018 - Atlanta

[@alanasims2981]

Teyanas got the body and moves for this. She did really good

[@MomTheEbayer101]

She did that..... red hair and all!!!

[@royal70117]

I can understand TT being nervous to perform Janet's song live in front of her, so I'll excuse her vocals. But homegirl slayed that choreo!!! I think she did a great job

[@littletrickster5053]

Agreed.she nailed it.👍

[@quintaseagle4660]

The choreography was flawless

[@sierrarashaan]

Definitely think she was nervous to sing

[@teriewalker183]

She is a dancer... She can hold some notes but yes she did good

[@IllumiNatetheOracle]

HOME GIRL GIRLS CHOREO! But, vocals? Janet is so underrated as a vocalist. Her voice is light, but home girl's voice is consistent & blends. Saw her on tour, she's singing live & dancing.

[@babvyminaj8806]

The reason Teyana didnt sing well is because she is sick and didn’t want to cancel her tribute

[@Deon158]

she paid homage to the video and live performance....aspects of both were there....wavy vocal moments forgiven

[@sylviataylor6427]

Hmm I guess teyana's vocals would sound scratchy and flat since she is performing and singing with a cold. So I can understand this. So I'm not going to pass judgement on teyana because despite being sick she came thru like a real trooper and showed love and respect to Janet Jackson.

[@dellarekuskelly1634]

Teyana taylor is growing as an performer and artist. I love her tribute to janet jackson.

[@kennethcooper4327]

Nate J they swear up and down that janet lip syncs all the time

[@bigma5535]

Hard to sing like Janet but she got the moves down. Janet's voice is soft even if she is out of breath.

[@davidcici11Evolution]

Big Ma that song is hard to sing live, with all that movement she is using not only her legs but her upper body and chest so her vocals will naturally be strained, Janet has performed this song live well, but this is hard song to perform live. You need a lot a practice vocally to sing and do this dance routine. She did real good here. Love Teyana.

[@weakassfadestan1681]

You right. Janet might have a softer voice but she has never been off key especially singing this song

[@davidcici11Evolution]

Black Guy this is a hard song to do without dancing. People don't give Janet credit but she performs this song with live vocals majority of the time. It's not easy to sing and dance at the same time especially a song like this. That is why Beyonce and other entertainers with high dance numbers lip some of their songs.

[@vta0471]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXWopX6MfpqYsJo ⬆️ Click on Look at Janet’s performance in 1998.... She is the best 🙌🏾. Her dancing is effortlessly.

[@weakassfadestan1681]

V Ta04 perfection!!! Haters always try to shade Janet about them not hearing her but she has never been off key and her voice is so angelically beautiful

[@sylviataylor6427]

Teyana Taylor is the truth!!!! She killed that performance it was like watching Janet Jackson for real. Teyana's performance was so natural and really gave me chills. I don't even care if teyana's voice sounds scratchy it's obvious she has a cold and yet teana still wanted to show her love for Janet Jackson. Now that is true love and respect!!!!!

[@michaelplace]

Its not supposed to be exactly like Janet. But I will say this does prove that nobody can do it like her. It makes you appreciate her tone and her graceful flow on stage. She really is one of a kind!

[@charliejenkins3510]

Amen

[@notyourfriend8881]

Hallelu!!!

[@Llsek16]

That's true

[@jeffcaldwell30]

She truly is one of a kind. Until you see other singers pay tribute to Janet you don't realize how intricate her artistry is. She makes it look easy.

[@ratricebowden1699]

I'm sure she can do it better then your woman... typical black man just can't give a sister props...but your not on stage....she is...Becky gone get this nigga...

[@tglover520]

OMG Teyana the moves was sooooooo on point. I love love love

[@denawilliams9741]

She did a fabulous JOB..🙂🙂 it was a tribute to Janet jackson.. I'm glad Teyana performed it her way instead of exactly like Miss Jackson 😍❤❤🔥🔥

[@itsalllove4355]

This was my shit, back then!!!

[@Nurse305]

Amazing!! Ms. Teyana, doin her thing for Ms. Jackson. One of my favorite Janet jamz!!.. Classic

[@tcnbrooklyn2638]

They did a great damn job period

[@carly7004]

Keep doing your thang Teyana. Im so proud of you. Their is only one Janet Jackson also one Teyana Taylor. I loved it.

[@lxspa529]

She killed the choreography, her throat sounds dry. This is my fave song and choreography by Janet.

[@justraydentv]

Teyana was sick when she performed this and she still killed 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@kayg1460]

It's great when you can do a tribute for someone whose work you admire and love so much.

[@elishathompson494]

Omg she did an amazing job Janet would be happy seeing this 😍😍😍

[@ltongue]

On point! Whoever choreographed this KNOWS Tina Landon work and Janet Jackson’s expectations! This IS by far the REALEST performance that pays homage. - Larry Tongue

[@janetjackson4640]

I love how they really put in work for this tribute!!! Awesome choreography

[@tai4short]

Never realized how sexy this choreography was

[@gknowles9172]

I never realized that Kelly Rowland paid homage to this song when she performed Motivation at the BET awards a few years back! So sexy

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

Vocals were a bit flat but she killed the choreography. 🔥🔥🔥 I love this song.

[@vta0471]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXWopX6MfpqYsJo Click on ⬆️ 1998 Janet performance 🙌🏾

[@ninamarquez7087]

gigglyfitzgirl true that

[@kristopherdavis2715]

Umm considering that Janet's voice is always flat. Tey did her justice. lol

[@sylviataylor6427]

Um yeah i guess teyana's voice would sound flat and scratchy since she is performing with a cold during this tribute to Janet Jackson. So I am not gonna be hard and judgemental on teyana. Teyana killed this performance even being sick.

[@ninamarquez7087]

Sylvia Taylor well that's your opinion

[@ajsassy788]

Teyana was nervous with the singing but honey she killed this damn dance!!!

[@denisemorant1704]

That was a great tribute to Janet.😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌋

[@dupasupa]

I feel like a true artist gives their own voice. Teyana is a dancer. Her voice is the best she could give. If she was a guy, we wouldn’t expect him to sound like the male artist he might be paying tribute to. I think she did well despite nerves.

[@tiffanymealy9921]

YAS she did that!!😉😉

[@jttinner6692]

Teyana said Janet is one performer she respects and looks up to! She did a great job on choreography and the vocals were ok 👌. Good job Teyana Keep it 💯

[@lezzulee]

I heard a few off notes, I'm glad to hear them she sang for real.. So kudos to her 👍👍❣️❣️

[@janisewright6636]

You betta! Actually couldn’t see anyone else doing this, you know. Fabulous

[@bjayyhampton-veal4734]

SHE ATE THIS!!!

[@Msnotunderstood]

This Gurl is Talented!!!😍

[@justtweedy1972]

That girl T is Bad! Soooo talented and underrated!

[@larkthomas3371]

Wow.. even the backup dancers look like Original Tina Kelly Nikki & Shawnette... awesome..awesome

[@lrj4302]

Lark Thomas these dancers were a little too hard and not smooth and sexy like the original dancers

[@larkthomas3371]

+LaShawn Johnson now I did say look, not performed like them... lol. Velvet Rope era.. girls were a smooth & sharp group...

[@svonnepitts3461]

She played it smart with the singing. By using her own style. Because she had to dance. Lol. Her voice is way to deep for Janet's vocals. But I thought it was dope. Love j.j. and t.t.

[@shawnahill1863]

This beautiful outstanding talented young Goddess is so underrated.

[@frawhite9282]

She did amazing

[@mahoganycurvesmagazine5638]

Yes GAWD! One of my favorite Janet Choreographies!!!! She did that!!!!!

[@geekjanet]

I’m not gonna lie the choreograph was spot on but I felt like she was rushing it like it had no flow like the video.

[@julihawk87]

Yasssssssss petunia!

[@vangoghmatisse1]

WOW PERFECT TRIBUTE!

[@slimtee2]

That was really good teyana! Thank you for a real tribute!! Job well done.

[@qwhvcx2]

This just proves that NOBODY CAN DO JANET!!

[@djohn515]

She’s tried lol

[@theprince_jay]

marjohnson94 y’all fucking people nit pick to god damn much Janet was there in the front row she enjoyed it it’s a god damn tribute stop fucking complaining or get yo ass up and do a tribute to Janet in front of her

[@yoladock4505]

@@theprince_jay she did good

[@sibria]

It’s just a tribute, they aren’t trying to compete 🙄

[@LadyMusse]

marjohnson94 Ciara could have done it

[@BluBlooDavis]

Y'all need to quit judging. Of course she's not gonna sound like Janet, she's NOT Janet. As a singer and performer you want your OWN sound tribute or not. If Beyoncé did this tribute guess how Beyonce would sing it, her OWN way. Everyone's singing voice is diverse and caters to them. People always try to bring up negativity where it's not needed. TT did an AWESOME job PERIOD. Since y'all complain so much I'd like to see YOU get your ass up there and try to do better.

[@jerryjaguar3239]

She must be SOOOOO Happy

[@sarotayasserie7221]

New Fav Singer "Teyana Taylor"!

[@julihawk87]

Thank you for this post!

[@dellarekuskelly1634]

Teyana Taylor is growing as a performer and artist. I am personally well pleased with her tribute janet jackson.

[@lxspa529]

Janet knew she would do good with the dance, Normani’s voice would’ve fit this song better.

[@dupasupa]

J’adore Alexis Janet was being honored that night & I don’t think she chose anyone. She might have been just told there would be a big tribute for her.

[@gladyssimmons6192]

What a performance!! she did a good job just beautiful, thank you I love Janet sooooooooooooo much.

[@mrsteetmrmrsjones7686]

I truly love the wonderful reaction off the dancing that all the people did but my girl killed it she had it totally down and Janet was enjoying watching Her performance everything that young lady do she really put her all in too it !!! She a wonderful wife Mother and she on the top off her Game at this point!!! Congratulations on all you're wonderful Blessing and Prayers!!@

[@DMrls-od4xm]

[@Ilove2teach52]

My number fav song by Janet

[@Daydreamer-ok6jj]

No one does it like JJ but this was a nice tribute. 👏🌸

[@mstea1105]

Great job Teyana...It's shows you that Janet is a rarity...Janet can do a full throttle high energy dance routine and sing live at the same time without losing breath or breaking. Other female artist do either or and rely on back up dancers while they rest..With the exception of Ciara (phenomenal artist) who learned from Janet and not wanted to be Janet...

[@marquitachamberlain6862]

very few whose last name isn't Jackson CAN sinG full out AND dance with taking a break TT YOU DID GREAT JOB💜

[@deedeelinn]

You go girl

[@aristothearies]

Hearing a Voice that isn’t Janet’s Preforming her songs reminds just how amazing of a vocalist she is, she has a Specific voice that just doesn’t go for everybody don’t get me wrong I’m not saying again thing bad towards Teyana because I extremely love Tey but Vocally nobody can do justice for Janet. Dance wise Teyana Got it down pack

[@tiffanyrobinson8785]

her vocals are off. But she killed that dance. Janet did the dam thang back in the day when she made this song. Teanna needed to practice a little more singing abd dancing together.

[@toytoy9162]

Teyana slayed this.🔥🔥🔥She can dance her ass off. Giving this girl her props cause so many folks love to hate. Her vocals ain't gone be like Janet cause she's Teyana.

[@MsJoiBella]

Something tells me she's been practicing since the video came out. Great job TT

[@godsson1860]

The choreography .... 💯

[@anncampbell6766]

THAT BREAK IT DOWN PART OH MY!!!😭🙄🙃

[@melonieparker453]

She did the damn thing, every beat and sound

[@kandacebracey8573]

Teyana did that. It's not easy singing and dancing at the same time. But she was singing for real

[@claireclaudie265]

Wow that's was great

[@Sunniyy]

teyana always slays. I said it!

[@bb2ko]

Normani should have done i get so lonley her vocals would have flowed better for this song. TT should have done pleasure principle

[@CatACor21.]

bb2ko T sang live... Normani didn’t... that’s why her voice is a little shaky

[@kandacebracey8573]

That's my girl she can she and dance.

[@JD-vi4qk]

She did the damn thing 👏👏👏👏👏

[@oletymer4614]

Nice job
