What Have You Done For Me Lately/ Nasty - Janet Jackson

[@waltlikka]

This is when Janet OFFICIALLY started snatchin’ wigs!

[@youknowwhatflav9916]

She was snatching everybody's curl activators back then

[@LeeDfined]

Bruh...

[@geekjanet]

She did this all in heels.

[@shaunaanne1003]

And is still doing it 32 years later....

[@FaytLinegod]

YES, SHE DID

[@blossomhicks4288]

That's how real woman operate in heels I won't have it no other way please.

[@bobbybrown1389]

@LoveEverton John Yes, so did prince but this is not about him

[@IllumiNatetheOracle]

Which pop star had more iconic lines than JANET JACKSON?!?!? "Gimmie a beat!" "iT'S Ms Jackson, if you NASTY!" Her tag lines are so ICONIC. Also, her and Whitney were the queens of an epic medley, the transitions were unmatched! To me, she influenced way more in music than most legends... not just in POP, but in Hip Hop, Rock, R&B, DANCE, and even alternative. My QUEEN OF POP

[@SSJ2Phenom]

You forgot "Get the point? Good! Let's dance!"

[@latinadavis3691]

Yaasssss, her and Whitney could do a great job with a medley now!

[@Nurse305]

John Edwards Wrong.. She was ROBBED.. No disrespect to Streisand.. The album was PHENOMENAL and she sang on those albums and CO WROTE.. She IS a musician. Just like now, over 30 yrs later, the Grammy board or whomever had NO CLUE. She plays the keyboards and very well, but is such an EXTRAORDINARY performer, they wouldn’t dare keep her in the background. She was DESTINED to be out front and the QUEEN that she is. This performance was NOT all lip syncing, OBVIOUSLY because it’s not even the original version. I watched it LIVE, as a little girl. Was MESMERIZED. GREATEST FEMALE ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME.. Like it or not and NO ONE sings HER songs like she does.. NO ONE. Jimmy and Terry knew she was a diamond in the rough and helped turn her into the HUGE GEM that she is.. YES, they are a dynamic duo; The GREATEST and yes, Paula is a phenomenal choreographer, but a person still has to have something to “ work with”.. REMEMBER, BEFORE Paula, Janet worked with and was mentored by the GREAT Debbie Allen.. People either forget or don’t know.

[@mrfunky1768]

Yes in deed , there was even a Janet "look", w/ the key ear ring and biker jacket her team was hitting it out the park each time/ and l was all about it. Smart marketing keeping the wardrobe in black, while everyone was in garish color and patterns ....smart, Jody Wately followed the same suit. Black women rock !!!

[@ronnygk]

You forgot “Edit”

[@curtismichael4703]

At the time of this performance, no one was putting it down like Janet on award shows. Well, there was MJ of course but that's it! This goes down as one of the best of the Grammys.

Me three

[@danoncrawford6794]

You ain’t never lied 🤥 this performance did that for me too!!! 😻

[@ridedamaverick]

You know how the Motown 25th performance was Michael's YUP I'M A MEGASTAR moment? I think this was Janet's.

[@brufourh168]

Exactly

[@Rmcm1984]

I agree 100%

[@deronreed2945]

very much so

[@SSJ2Phenom]

Who says Janet can't sing live? She slayed this. In heels and all that dancing and still sung. DAMN!!!!!!

[@hutch1197]

I love Janet and this performance. But sh'e not singing a single live note. (The vocals are lifted directly from an import remix she did that year). This was back when lip syncing was acceptable on awards shows.

[@shamondavis406]

Marlon Cunningham I strongly agree with you!! She killed it and was given a well-deserved, standing ovation.

[@IllumiNatetheOracle]

It's criminal the way the Grammys never mention this performance in their best grammy performance list. This performance shits on most on that list! This performance served so much of pop was about to look like going into the 90s.

[@senua2491]

2:47 This is why I love Janet's creativity. That interlude was sick, I have no words to describe how talent this woman is.

That transition to Nasty was pure fire! She was robbed of the Grammy that year. Ah well

Back in 1987..@ the Grammy...you can tell....😁💯💕🤣...Janet set the tone...they were not ready for this...😇💯✌️....

That performance was on the money . She ruled the world and the charts when her album control came out . It was 1986 I remember it like it was yesterday . She was everywhere . The album sales , magazine covers the tour in 1990 . She just came into her own as an artist letting the world know im an icon and y'all better recognize .

he choreographed it. That’s Barry Lather. He was in the Nasty video too. Great dancer. 🕺 🔥

[@anthonybarlow5955]

She was robbed that night for album of the year to Paul Simon and everyone knew it.

[@Orlanzepol123]

I remember that. She was so sad. She and her crew and everyone else thought she had it. The camera man was even filming her before they announced the winner because they thought she was going to win. I remember they quickly took the camera off her and to the winner.
