Janet is an undeniable icon, who deserves more recognition than she gets in today's music.

TOTALLY agree!! She’s amazing and laid the path for so many of today’s artists! Wish she could do more great music like her earlier albums and have a huge comeback. Would love for her to do another album with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

The song is about a friend she lost to AIDS.We all lost friends to AIDS in the 1990's.

This song peaked #04 in UK and was the Janet Jackson only #01 song on European Hot 100 during her career (so her biggest hit ever in Europe). The song was also #01 in US Hot 100 (But Janet had total of 10 #01 songs in US). It was the #04 best selling single worldwide of year 1998, the best she ever did making this song Janet Jackson biggest worldwide Hit. Janet Jackson only had another entry on TOP 10 best selling singles of the year worldwide and that was in 1993 when "That's The Way Love Goes" was #08 best selling single of 1993.

You said it wise man Dereck! The image of Janet hugging and singing with herself in this video encapsulates the importance of self-love and self-acceptance on this terrible journey we travel on this loveless earth! Good job, Dereck!

Among Janet's finest songs and music videos! It is the very first Janet single (including remixes), I ever purchased a copy of. Janet is a long time ally of the LGBT community. "The Velvet Rope" album lyrically included in such gay thematic explorations as both "Free Xone" and "Tonight's The Night."

More Janet Jackson please .😍😍❤️

There’s also a ballad/r&b version called the “deeper” version. You should give it a listen.

Originally, this song will be a ballad, before she remixed this song during the recording session of the album. So the deeper version was the original vision Janet wanted to this song originally before she transformed this song in a House song.

this version is better

It was Kevyn Aucoin an absolutely amazing celebrity make up artist and her best friend at the time. It was rededicated with the passing of Michael. The hip hop version was was performed the AMAs.

Awesome video who would ever dislike this song

Lyrically about the ones we lost to AIDS.

It was originally a poem then a ballad and then a dance song it's a tribute to friends of hers that died from aids

Janet Jackson ❤

Thanks for doing a pride tribute. Janet Jackson dedicated this songs to all of her friends that died from AIDS

Thank you derrick this song will always have a special place in my heart 🌈❤

He voice in this song is like an angel ❤we love you Janet ❤

You’re killing me with the happy vibes ! Loving it ! I adore this Janet track - up in my top 3 of hers.

Love Janet! Brasil 05/21

This is most joyful song for remembering family friends love ones that are no longer with us

Do more Janet Jackson bro..

Aside from Janet being badass, this is a great workout song

For pride soft cell say hello wave goodbye, marc almond's voice is sensational

Beautifully shot music video too; i love the wide shot of the sun rays on the land

This is my favorite song from janet

That is spot on. Acceptance of oneself. Janet grew up in a very religious home. ( like Madonna).

Dereck you are very good talking about the music and beats

I agree

I love his reaction to this song so much emotion in it ❤️❤️👍

While you're on Janet. React to Janet's Runaway Video.

There’s also a video for the deeper remix version directed by her then husband Rene’ Elizondo

Janet is the best of that family by far Ppl always lord up MJ but Janet for me was so much better

I hope you'll do some more 80's Janet, like "What Have You Done for Me Lately" (a real game changer!) and two of my absolute favorites "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" and "Miss You Much".

My teenage years. Janet was great

React to her "That's The Way Love Goes".

This song is from Velvet Rope album and you should react to it because is a masterpiece. ❤️❤️😀 She is so AMAZING, also there is a Velvet Rope Tour here on KZread and is a must see for sure.

Nice choice D, happy music from happier times 💖

Janet Jackson - If

Can you react to True Colors by Cyndi Lauper for your pride reactions?? That’s another song written for a loved one who passed away from aids. Also, Cyndi Lauper is absolutely amazing!!

Una de las mejores canciones y videos de janet

Wow, I had forgotten how amazing her smile is!

And my friends used to laugh at me for telling them this song is actually for the dead. They be like you can't make an upbeat song for the dead.

She always dancing in her music videos outside the ballads like ''Come Back to Me'', ''Again'' and ''Any time, Any place''.

This is my favorite Channel album I ain't going to lie but this song is about her friend who passed away from cancer I think it's breast cancer and I'll be crying to this phone cuz it's so real like anybody who passed away I play this song all the time I can play the full album this is the favorite album I ain't going to lie

Awesome reaction! Can you Please react to “Come Back To Me” from Janet Jackson?

Another fantastic song for gay pride is Katy Perry "Fireworks" song. One if her best hits 👍

Dereck you should do unreleased videos of Madonna and Janet Jackson. Madonna has unreleased song never let you go and beautiful scars demo you can find it on KZread

Linda música! 😍

I have a Janet recommendation, the song IF, I think you'd like it a lot.

Would be awesome if you reacted to Eurythmics - one of the few 80s bands I still listen to today. If you're mostly into dance numbers, try When Tomorrow Comes. But they have made soooooo many great songs: Thorn In My Side, There Must Be An Angel, Missionary Man, Would I Lie To You, Here Comes the Rain Again, Sex Crime, You Have Placed a Chill In My Heart, It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back), etc, etc, etc... 🥳😀🏳️‍🌈

I subscribed to your channel bro good stuff

Love this video. Looks like Africa but it's really MJ's Neverland Ranch.

I'm Brazilian. This month completed one year after the death of one of our greatest metal icons, André Matos. In honor of him, I would like to ask for two reactions to a song by the band Shaman, one of which André was the lead singer. The song is "Fairy Tale". It turns out that the studio version and the live version are different. The studio version explores female lyric singing and choirs, while the live version emphasizes the piano and violin. Both are excellent. There are lyric videos on KZread for the studio version. The fans miss André. Thank you very much 🙏

Janet Jackson 😊 Pride week series, t.A.T.u. and Indigo Girls would be nice reactions.

A cameo by Madonna !!! Hahaha cause they love each other 😜😜😜 I'm not a fan of Janet Jackson but this album was great; together again, got till it's gone, I get lonely, every time.... amazing songs. In my opinion as it happened with Whitney Houston's my love is your love these two albums were overshadowed by Madonna's ray of light as pop stars and later by the miseducation of Lauryn Hill as R&B artists. But they were amazing (by the way you could react to that Whitney's album)

The only other artist who’s catalogue comes close to Madonna’s. Her reinventions, videos, social, political and emotional statements... I think she was far more interesting than Michael and her group choreo is some of pops all time best.

Good job! Rocio Jurado - Como las Alas al Viento, TP de Oro 1994 🇪🇦

Good job!! 👍Rocio Jurado y Raphael "Como yo te amo" the best two voice and intérprete of spain forever. ( R.durcal. I. Pantoja)

Can you spot Jennifer Lopez dancing

Look at Alicia bridge's ( I love the nightlife)

i always watch your reactions, its cool and exciting to watch. hope sir you can react some time to REGINE VELASQUEZ , her song What Kind Of Fool Am I where she's wearing a red gown singing on her knee. pleaseee!❤️❤️❤️❤️

And if you want to do a great pride song from Janet, check out "Free Zone".

I forgot how beautiful this Janet Jackson music video is, not to mention spiritual. 👍🏾💙

H i please react to Janet's Go Deep video...thanks!!

Before popular music went to hell.

NEIL DIAMOND __ sweet Caroline, from Spain, please please please.

Very interesting you liked the breaks so much, it's my least favorite part of the song. They are even longer on the album version and I just don't know, they seem so bland and basic compared to the very melodic verses and choruses. They are ruining the song for me honestly and it sounds just like Saturday Night by Whigfield which is the definition of cheese.

I don’t think that was Madonna , Janet didn’t like Madonna at this point.
