This choreography is forever!! The dancers! The colors!! The look! Her!! The clothes! This is what perfection looks like!! I am so proud of all of them! Down to the camera people! Just awesome! Flawless!!! I almost want to cry! Still cheering you on in 2024!

[RamblingRikers]

The way she comes down the stairs with the wind and red curtains flowing….epic af

[jollypoorman]

Every female performer has been chasing this level of perfection since.

[marquesneal]

One of the best dance breaks if not the best. EVERYBODY knew the assignment and performed as they should

[newt]

Her hair, makeup, body, voice, dance moves, outfit…perfection

[tooforsixate]

Her hair looks so damn amazing. Those close ups of her are stunning.

[highland_persuasion]

THAT IS STILL THE BEST DANCE BREAKDOWN IN POP CULTURE.

[srw]

Janet's entrance on this video is still the coolest fucking thing ever

[thirdeye]

Tina Landon set the bars high for what a dance break in a music video should be, and she showed her contemporaries and those that came after her how to choreograph a dance production. As a singer and performer, Janet Jackson showed everyone what it means to be the queen of funky and sexy dance moves. She's still the Queen of Dance Music.

Something about when the doors open up and you just see Janet’s shadow… chills, everytime.

I think this new generation has no idea this song and That's the Way Love Goes were beyond popular at the time. They changed the trajectory of pop music and the music videos were among the best of all time. The dancing and style of this song in particular were emulated a hundred times over by all the pop stars coming up a few years later. She absolutely is and will always be considered an icon - in the same league as her brother.

Ultimate. There will never be a janet. Superstar.

[jmaxisfye]

greatest female dancer. period. you see her! you can’t keep your eyes off her. the fluidity >

[mariea.]

That one moment where everyone went in opposite directions INTO THE MIDDLE with the chop chop chop chop was the moment of y LIFE as a child. My friends and I would stay up at night to rewind that part of the video and try it over and over ... at that moment in time, EVRY BLACK GIRL IN THE WORLD loved and admired Janet Jackson. That moment in this video was so amazing because it matched with the music and the dance and that never happens before in any other video. It was really a moment in eternity where dance hit you in your soul and you new that Janet was a star and we could be stars too, oneday. LoL It was indescribable. Thank you Janet and Domenic sena

Fun fact:
The guy at the opening of the video is speaking Cantonese. He is being refused entry because he doesn't have the password (which, as the following woman client reveals, is simply, "if").
What the guy is saying translates (basically) as:
"I have money; let me in. Give her (the prostitute inside) the money and tell her she can come out and see me."
At the end of the video, he is boasting of his importance:
"Don't you know who I am?"
He refers to himself as "uncle", which, in Cantonese speak, is the equivalent of "boss" or "daddy" in English.

This is ultimate perfection — now, then, always.

[cardelljoseph]

Ive been doing this choreography for 30 yrs and it still doesnt come close to Janet. Shes mother. Respect

[OzgeofAntalya]

Now i see in this version: the coreography is brilliant and so sophistificated

[darkdemonqueen]

This is the janet I grew up with. Watched this video obsessively.... on vhs 🤣🤣🤣
Yep, I’m THAT old 😎

[unghoigioi]

One of the most influential pop female artists (if not the most) of all time
