      bih kat I’ve come to realized this. Everyone is influenced..... Paula was a good Choreographer
      But you would be stunned 😳 at the unsung.
      Talent both MJ and his Entire tribe incorporated.... These people are disciplined
      I see Fela Kuti, Fred Astaire, Paula Abdul is also a great dancer 💃 but I wouldn’t site
      Her as the muse .... Janet’s five brothers
      Maybe influenced her 😻 (no shade to Paula

      Paula Abdul met Janet because she'd done some choreography for the Jackson's and her brothers thought so much of Paula's work and thought she'd work well with Janet and she choreographed 2 videos for Janet. No one can teach someone how to dance, they can show you the steps or choreography but you either have or you don't, just like singing. What's really interesting is that MJ has used many choreographers but no one has ever said any of them choreographers taught him how to dance and Janet's no different!

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo 6 років тому +8215

    This album is I feel one of the most under-rated albums of all time. It has hit after hit and no fillers. Now so many years have gone by the social problems the album touches upon are still present and possibly worse. Sad that Janet became the fall girl after the Super Bowel performance. Timberlake was untouched which spooks me. This girl deserves a total second chance at the top pin. No one today could pull off a album like Rhythm Nation. Sadly I rarely ever hear the songs off this album on the radio. If your a young thing it's a must have album to key into.

    • @LYBism
      @LYBism 6 років тому +437

      The album wasn't underrated at the time of its release. But you are right; I would say that now, it has disappeared from hearing pleasure, which is so sad because it is very iconic and the "conscious" songs are very much relevant today. Shame on the music industry for hiding this gem. JERKS!

      leokimvideo If it's any consolation, I think this song (among Janet's best) is solidly in place among the classics that people still love to hear. When Joseph Gordon-Levitt danced to this on LipSync Battle, it was clear that the audience response to the song was just out-of-control (and props to Joseph for putting in the effort to learn the difficult choreography, although he must have danced to it too when he was still a kid). Bottom line: Janet is still very much a legend, Timberlake is not, and most likely will never be.

    • @caddelworth
      @caddelworth 4 роки тому +1

      Iconic? Perhaps, but it just looks like a knock-off of Michael J's "robotic" staccato choreography, to my eyes anyway. Also, *very* distracting: makes it even _harder_ to try to make out the words she's singing if you're watching all that "twitching" as well!
      Actually, the whole song looks and feels like MJ, now I come to think of it … I expect I'm not the first person to say that, but this is the first time I've heard this song, or seen this video!
      But hey: if *you* enjoy it, then great! Just doesn't appeal to me in any way though, sorry.

Despite everything that's been going on in the world, it's never too late to be an unbreakable unity. No matter the challenge, we can come back strong. Let this message speak from past, present, future, to forever.

      Micahel had originally planned to do this in his own music video, but Janet asked Michael if it was ok that she used the idea of dancing in an "army" style for hers. So that's maybe why so many say that she is trying to be like her brother, because it was something he had planned to use for himself. So it's pretty similar something Michael would have done.

    The comments on this video are hilarious! Its Michael vs Janet which is insane because they loved each other and never had a jealous bone in their body about each others success. Michael once said that because they were so close, they often thought alike. Both came up with the military style but he let her run with it. There was no permission to give. You can be a Michael fan, w/o being Janet's and vice versa but battling them is ridiculous. Sure he was the King of Pop but don't act like Janet needed him to get where she was/is. Grow up people.

Not all of this nasty press, smashing her reputation because of some simple mistakes or weight problems, which is so human...while her brother turned from a black handsome man into a fragile white women like fantasy figure, nobody really dared to question his transformation. Until today people believe he turned transparent due to vitiligo. I have seen people who really have vitiligo and MJ definitely didn't have it. I'm pretty sure, he would have shown it, instead of hiding. That would have been THE excuse for his changing appearance and I remember well, he didn't hide his health issues, because he "enjoyed", or rather needed the attention. Boy,I still have the paparazzi pictures of an overweight Janet in my head, jogging along the beach,hunted by her personal trainer...I felt so bad for her 🥺
