Yes. Proves that her backflip in Nasty and Pleasure Principle were REAL. She did use a spotter in this because it was live TV and she had on heels. But you can tell by her execution that she can do a backflip.
@@angholloway5091 I think she was like 29 or 30 when she started working on it. When the album came out, she was already 31 and by the time the tour was going on, she was 32. A very impressive feat for an artist to have such achievements as hers at that age.
They were literally in their bag when they produced the Control album. Janet’s legacy will never be touched. 4:10 Whitney was always supportive of other black women!
Just to clarify this was NOT Paula Abdul. It's Barry Lather, the same guy who worked with her on Pleasure Principle. He recently confirmed what I already knew anyways: Janet did the backflip
"the past" always fascinates me. Here you have a girl who had FORGOTTEN more about the entertainment business to this point in time, than Whitney Houston or Luther Vandross, KNEW about the business. Janet was Penny, in 'Good Times'...she was in Fame. That was YEARS BEFORE "Control". So, anytime I see her...I always see her as the baby sister of a music giant, whose 'Control' album was on par with "Thriller" as far as Im concerned. It didnt sell like 'Thriller'...but the influence and sheer awesomeness of "Control', was a lot like what we felt when 'Thriller' dropped. And she did it...ON HER OWN.
The AMAS and this GRAMMY performance right here solidified LEGEND in the making right there. Listen i know even Prince was home like GIRL GET IT...hahhahaha! The Grammys owe Janet album of the year. Bonnie rait won and who even plays that album she won for today compared to CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!
Dam !!!! Janet Jackson owned the stage !!! She had such a strong stage presence & she was really bold & sassy ! Everything thing was spot on !! The choreography was out of this world !!!! A superstar was born that day !! But on a sad note it was game over for poor Latoya Jackson!! I mean how could Latoya ever hope to compete with this level of hard work & talent ? By 1986 Latoya Jackson had become obsolete. Sad but true
Similarly here in the UK, American awards shows were very hard to access back in the '80s. I only came across this performance (in a very rough quality) fairly recently and it immediately became a favourite. To be able to watch in this quality is an absolute treat. I really love the arrangement they use here - it really shows off the MPLS funk roots of the Control era. Having Jimmy, Terry & Jerome together with Janet lends it a real old-skool 'The Time' vibe. Thanks so much for sharing 😊
To be from the 80’s, this video is so crisp and clear. The quality on this video is better than a lot of video posted from the 2000’s. Thanks for posting!!
you see Prince's influence as he was The Time and drilled them to perform how he wanted them. that's most of the original line up of the time. and p was influenced by James Brown
I’m just wondering if there ever could be a time that Michael is not brought up with Janet? Ever? By the way this is not Michael at all. This is Diana Ross, Tina Turner, and Donna Summer, but Janet put her own spin on it.
3:13...she did that move in Pleasure Principle. I just now realized why it's so familiar. In the video she does it after she does the knee slide/spin and jumps off the floor.
Also at 3:36 look at the background dancers that's all Pleasure Principle. The White guy back up dancer is the actual choreographer for The Pleasure Principle and this grammy performance. His name is Barry Lather. Wink!
The most interesting part of this is she recorded the PP video two months after this grammy performance. Initially, I thought it was the other way around. Gotta love Janet!
This is the original from the VHS video cassette performances grammy awards right? Because in this one whitney houston is clapping for janet but in another version of the whole vidéo with introduction and stuff we don't see whitney clapping
Why has noone ever released footage of that special Janet did at Madison Square Garden with the black Jacket with the white circular designs on it ????(I think it was for "Nasty") it never has been released to the public...only saw pictures from it...!!!!!! Anyone know the performance????😳
One of Janet's best award show performances. I remember watching this over and over on my VHS tape I recorded from TV. How did you get this in HD? thank you,
@@jacobjaymzhe has moves for a white man like I stated. Paula Abdul also choreographed a large percentage of her moves, including the ones in this performance 😉
@@8213apice I'm sorry but I must inform you that the only piece Paula had in this was the nasty breakdown which lasted only seconds. This is Barry's work.

This performance NEVER GETS OLD !!! Janet was the first pop and r&b singing artist to put acrobatics in her performances.

Janet and the time
@@LeeDfined lol.
How do you dance in those heels omg but Tina Turner did it in the late 50s early 60s I guess lol
She was 21 here. Getting a standing ovation from an audience of music legends.
Word!! An A+ class performance!
She was 20 y.o.. Janet’s birthday is May 16, 1966. The Grammy’s were in February ‘87.
@@rgrndu how old was she in velvet rope era in 98? She looked 27!!!

It warms my heart to see Whitney Houston cheering for her ❤
Luther too.😢
👏🏿👏🏿
Of course she cheered for her. They respected one another. Janet always complimented Whitney.

I do love it when people know their Janet facts!
Thank u for the information. I wondered about the black flip
Terry Lewis n Jimmy Jam make the whole feels for this song. I love them
Janet , with this performance and the Control Era changed the landscape for female artists and performers… Janet is a trailblazer indeed 👑✨🔥🐐
Whitney was so happy and proud!! 🙌🏽👏🏽 just like the rest of us!! ☺️ 4:10!

And that ladies & gentlemens with heels 😌
You better recognize! The baddest chic in the game. I will argue with anyone on that ❤
The quality of the sound is CRAZY!!!! Nothing but LOVE
I still absolutely love this performance!!!
This one hooked, lined and sinker for me!!
A concert experience at an awards ceremony. Classic!
This performance made her Jackson family legacy
💯
I remember watching this as a little girl. Everything about Janet I wanted to emulate. I learned this routine in my living room thanks to the VCR 😅🤩🤩🥰
Magical performances like this are rare.
Jimmy,Terry, Jellybean, Jerome, and Janet💜

Latoya just does not have Janet and MJ's stage presence or chutzpah. Sad but true.
They choreo’d the shit outta this performance
Barry Lather is the man!
And here I was thinking it was Paula Abdul. Thanks!
@@waynedexter I thought that also!
Barry Lather who also did Pleasure Principle.
@@jacobjaymz and the influence and training of Prince
2024 still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She looked good here. Just like we all did in 1987.
I remember this it was so damn good another time another place in American Life 🌹🌹❤❤❤❤ God bless the 80s we will never see them again😪🥂💯
We will
It all revolves full ⭕ 😇
I remember this like it was yesterday. Janet ate this performance and it was just the beginning of the end ❤

was she popular in the UK during this era?
I had recorded this show on VHS (yes I'm that old) and watched this performance over and over. Still love it to this day!
I a 73 kid from New Zealand. Mum woke me up to go watch it ☺️
@@jacobjaymz 1973? Yep, we were only a year apart when we saw this iconic classic! 😉
The Grammys is garbage now.

Back when artists actually used to sing live.

2:26 is funky af! Legend! ❤️
I love Janet and love seeing Whitney cheer her on. I just hate those old lady wigs they used to put on Whitney, she was only around 23/24 here.
Oh wow, doing the Morris Day shuffle at the end?!!! Incredible!!
Get it Janet, this is the best!!!
Cheers to HD restoration! 🍷
That was the momento she craved her name in the legends list and said: don't think I'm just MJ sister. I'm a totally unique artist! 🔥
Empress of pop JJ
Whitney, Luther...😥
Right.
Ikr 😢 they were so proud of her ❤

Yes 😎😎
it's every member of the time but Morris and Jesse

Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jellybean & Jerome? This is just Janet Jackson & The Time!
Do you have the HD copy for the CONTROL AMA performance????🥺🥺

Whitney cheering at the end looked like an old school teacher. What was she wearing? My god.
Salute Whitney and Luther
Is that jimmy and Terry ?!
Yes
1.25😎
Why is it only michael and janet could dance of all the jacksons
Wrong. Actually Marlon is the best dancer in the family. As stated by Janet, Michael and Jermaine. Google it.
flyte tyme productions...
what happened to the rhythm nation visual album ??
Im so sorry man. I tried hard but UMG wasn't having a bar of it. Its on this link tho..
vimeo.com/607174172
From this to Ice Spice and Sexy Redd, no longer about talent but degenerates popularity contest… my black people, come on now 🤦🏽♂️
What do you mean?
Absolutely-Standards & music has plummeted
Did Mike perform here too?
Why do I get a Prince vibe from this song and performance ? 🤔
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (with her on stage) are also from Minneapolis and used to work with Prince until he ‘Let them go..’

Sounds worse than?
@@jacobjaymz worse than the recording. The live version is not in the same key for some reason. Not saying she’s singing poorly I just prefer the song in its original key.
@@TitaniumExpose13 You do realise there are other live performances of this song, with the original studio track, in the same key on UA-cam don’t you?
The following year Whitney copied this performance to a T! I’m just saying 🤷🏿♂️
she didn’t lmao
@@alazjaw.8968 You didnt get what I was trying to say and thats cool.
Messy stupidity was what u were trying to start
@@midoshishifu you’re so wise!
She rarely sang live because all her music was studio produced - idol would have rejected her
I wish I could make multi-millions doing that. I guess she would have had to sing live at idol then. Oh, she did…
