Yesssss when people use to get out and dance and have a dam good time 🌃

I´m sorry but Janet at her peak was the greatest entertainer to ever live. Not even Michael was going this hard. I´m sorry but fact are facts. This is insane. Shout outs to Tina Landon for the choreo.

Yet you can still see the influence Michael has on Janet. I saw quite a few MJ moves while Janet was dancing to the side letting the dancers dance. I don't think anyone can top Michael and Janet.

Her show might be better than his show, but Michael was more talented than Janet. Nothign wrong with that, both are world class, but Michael Jackson is the Michael jordan of entertainment.

Tina Landon was 1 of her best choreographers

Anthony Cogburn NO! SHE WAS THE BEST

She always let's her dancers shine in the spotlight. Love her!💜

This was a memorable performance. I love how the entire performance was done in a freeform kinda way like her n her peeps were all at the club having fun n challenging each other's dance expertise. It also highlighted her fabulous dancers n choreographer Tina. That whole Bohemian vibe that her 'janet' album had was n still is way cool!

Tina Landon 🇲🇽🇨🇺 did her thangggg on this choreography!!!! The biggest and most iconic Janet dances were choreographed by Tina, she’s a beast in dancing and never really gets her props ❤❤❤❤

Bayyybeee they had DANCED!!!

You'd think there would be a better quality video of this. This performance is iconic!

Absolutely not! She made the best of it which is why she came out, but she was extremely depressed, which a failed relationship couldn’t only make worst. She tunneled it until one of the most creative themes anyone’s ever seen.

I was 12 years old when I watched this live on SNL. I was mesmerized by this performance and have searched for it for so long. I wish there was a better quality out there because it is amazing.

That band and those dancers earned their paychecks that night!

Original airdate: May 14, 1994. The host was Heather Locklear.

And I recorded it on VHS yes!!!! VHS. lol I still have it somewhere. Anyway, I had enough time to buy a new VHS tape for this to record coz prior that weekend they were advertising it that Jan was going to be the musical guest so I went to my local Walmart and bought a VHS tape to record this. I was 14 goin on 15 in ‘94

You can’t teach spontaneity! The reason this dance piece is so phenomenal is the way in which they make it look unrehearsed. That’s what makes a great dancer, amongst naturally being able to ride a beat. Dancing shouldn’t look like an 8 count.

The guy in the horns is the best dancer that I've ever seen.

Yussss! Iconic! Never duplicated!

...you kids don't know...YOU JUST DON'T KNOW!! ...Janet was on the 'Because Of Love" single the time this performance (May? of 1994), and, she JUST released "Anytime, Anyplace"...So, she SHOCKED us, with this intricate, avant-garde, DEFTLY choreographed piece for the ALBUM TRACK "Throb"....and, it BLEW our MINDS!! ..Even the costumes here, were ahead of their time; Kilts, schoolgirl pleated skirts, Mohair vests...this was equivalent to Madonna's MTV Awards performance for "Vogue" with the "Dangerous Liasons" period costumes...but FUNKIER! ...A CLASSIC Janet performance, if not her GAME-CHANGER...go ON, Gurl.. >missJanet

Me too. But if u pay close attention this is the rehearsal version cut. Because the one male dancer with the fur vest, he is not wearing that on the one that air on SNL plus in this video he tears his black pants on the crotch area and on the one aired he is wearing an oranging color plaid pants without the fur vest. Ps in the this version after the rip pants he tells Shawnette and Tina about his pants being torn as they are dancing pay attention to him you see this.

I love Janet Jackson, Her brother Michael as well. I saw this performance on TV on SNL. Heather Locklear was the host. Janet inspired quite a few lady singers who became big pop stars, including Britney Spears. Britney Spears said Janet Jackson was one of her inspirations to become a singer.

This is missing from mainstream live performances. I love it in the 90's and now.

An ICONIC Performance hennyyy!!!! ❤🙌🏾

I love the instrumentals to this song and choreography at the end!💕💕

Choreography!!!!

I know how old I am when I remember watching this live on TV with friends before heading out to the club in New York lol!!!

Yes the one that air on SNL because the one male dancer with the fur vest he ain’t wearing that vest and his pants are more color oranging plaid vs black pants. Ps in this video he rips his pants on the crotch area he even tells Shawnette and Tina about as he is dancing. Pay close attention to him. His rips it when he is doing his routine with Shawnette as he makes that split that’s when he rips it. I think this the rehearsal version. Not the one aired on SNL that night.

So iconic😍😍😍😍

Such an amazing performance i cant even put how I feel into words

Thank you for this! Loved it back in the day had it on VHS even in this quality I will be watching it again and again.

LEGENDARY!!!

The best live performance for this song ever, from SNL (I too have it on tape (VHS) lol I swear one of the male dancer ripped his pants either prior or during the performance hence why he has a jacket or something wrapped around his waist haha

The butterfly!

THROB throb THROB throb THROB throb THROB!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for uploading, I get to witness and watch something iconic ❤

They all snatched me out of my bed!

I'll remember waiting all month for that to air forever!!!

brilliant needs to be in HD....incredible love u Janet

Iconic video Iconic dancers Legendary Janet

Thank you soooooo much for uploading this 😭 couldn’t find my copy

I need this in HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great rehearsal!

Crazy how, if you pay attention, she’s actually faster and better than all her dancers.

AMAZING CHOREOGRAPHY.

This is an alternate performance of the version we're use to seeing in the better quality. This looks like a dress rehearsal or something but then again there's a studio audience at the end so...🤷🏾‍♂️But there are definitely 2 different performances. This is probably just the one that wasn't broadcasted

I love this performance!! Wish it was in better quality but I’ll take what I can get because I love this performance so much lol

Damn baby, sh*t...THROB

This group was Janet's best dancers! Tina bringing it with the choreography.. Sis in the green top was always a beast! And my boo Omar in the kilt,sexy asf with them moves.

This is the rehearsal cut. And ps the one male dancer with the fur vest he tore his pants on the crotch area he even tells Shawnette and Tina about it as he is dancing. The one that air on SNL he is wearing a plaid oranging pant without the fur vest. Love this performance I have it recorded in vhs yes!!! VHS 📼 somewhere in my house

So this is a different performance from the one that was aired back in 1994. Most likely a dress rehearsal. Sean Cheeseman ( one of the Male dancers) is wearing a different top in this video vs the TV performance.

Rent free in my head since 1993

I was wondering until last year if she has ever danced to this (I went to her concert)

Amazing!

I have this on vhs with the original sound, miss the 90s

ICONIC...🔥🔥🔥👑💅

dope

Amazing in 2020!!!

❤️🤩 ICONIC

Janet did it before Beyoncé and Crowiana.

How is it possible that we can't find this in better quality?
