Today, Janet premieres her video for her comeback single, “Feedback,” produced by Rodney Jerkins. I definitely am feeling the futuristic vibe of the video, and I’m so glad to see Janet doing what I love to see her do – dance. I really like the cohesiveness of the video, and I like that she’s coming back with a concept. I like the look and feel, and the detail of the planets, etc. The choregraphy is tight, and it almost looks animated to me. I think this is dope.
The video feels very international – I love the fact that she used a new director who has never done a video in the United States before. I think ’08 is all about take risks, and Janet did it.
The new album, Discipline is to hit stores February 26th, via Def Jam. I am excited for Janet. I’m sure Janet fans are raving. The video will premiere today on BET’s 106 & Park and also on Yahoo! this evening.
Loving It!!!!!
Kinda weird
I don’t like the concept of the video but Janet is back you gota love her!
THAT is why i’m a goddamn fan. it’s so sad that the market she’s going to have to compete in is filled with mindless kids who live and die for dance-by-numbers country bamma music. **sigh**
but…greatness will always prevail.
IM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE…..she sounds mediocre to me….IMO!
I’m in love with this video!!! This is leap and bounds over what she has been doing for hte past few years. Many people doubted rather she still had it and this video turned out ot be a big FUCK YOU to the pessimists!!!! I’m really happy for.
Video is better than anything from last year!!! She really set the bar high on this one.
Still not feelin this song. Interesting video tho. I just love to see her dance!
*bows to my knees*
((((((((((((OH, HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU JANET)))))))))))
I love the part at the end in the red she looks hot! The beginning of the vid is a little dark and they could have moved that along more. She did her thing though.
it’s kind of wierd, but it’s glas to see Janet back doing what she does best. Dancing.
It’s amazing how she can lose weight so fast, she look damn good.
Is “08″ Janet’s year.
this video is completely garbage, i dont get the hype
the dancing was wack and she sounded a mess
Not feeling the video at all. The only good thing to me was the dance she did in the red outfit. Cute fun song but the video was off to me.
UGHHH!!!! IM SO DISPPOINTED….HATED IT!!
the more I watch this video, the more I like it. the detail is amazing.
I’m glad she did something different, and kinda stepped out on a limb and did something risque.
I like the fact she’s not doing what people expect. Take it back to when videos where creative and out there. The end when she’s in the red out fit is the business. 7/10 for me the video is a lil sluggish at parts, but creativity, detail and the energy Janet is giving is what makes it for me.
She’s amazing. She’s completely clothed and she’s hotter than she was in “So Excited”. Janet’s back.
OMG!!! There is a heaven. I love the new song and video and based on the single alone, im gonna cop the album. This is wayy better than that foolish on her last album. I returned that ish and bought a pint of ice cream and some cookies to relieve my pain. But I love what shes doin this round.
Ms. Jackson is so freaking hot!!!!
This sorta reminds me of the video she & Busta Rhymes did.
Brian
I’m going to have to take your word now because I watched it again and like it alot better..I had a different concept for the video *shrugs* but this will do for now..for a woman to be in her 40′s she still got it..lol
lol its like Kanye West x Beyonce x Chris Brown = this video, I LIKE IT THOUGH. LOL JaNEt ALWayS StaYZ on TrAck
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE VIDEO BUT I DO LOVE THE DANCING AND JANET LOOKS NICE
Janet did it with this video. I love the concept and the Euro feel of it. Janet is always doing her thang. I can’t wait for the album to drop. The red catsuit is so pretty.
WOOOOOOW!!!
That was muy interesante and I can really appreciate the time and effort put into that video.
Honest Opinion Below:
I was very intrigued in the beginning when all this time (screen shots) I thought she was on some kind of ball and she was really on a planet/astroid of some sort. Hot. After about of minute of planet hopping I was like “COME ON!”
But it sped up and got interesting and in the end I like it and want to kook at it again right now. OK. I would like to state that I truly saw a different direction for this video (Almost like “Scream”) but I like this too. I think it makes the song more enjoyable because it had to grow on me anyway.
Luv Ya Janet!!!
~RKJ (Yeah my last name is Jackson…coincidence…I think not!)
LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!
The song is str8 but the video is was wack I expected more from janet even if they went with that concept the dance coulda been longer and much better
Reminds me of the making of “Spiderman” with all that jumping on the planets… But as for the dancing.. the woman can’t be touch.. 101% Amazing… Love her dancing
ummmm. blah.
this video did the song no justice….
it needed 2 be more. it was dark and really uninspiring….
she danced well, looked really good, and some of her moves (hand movements, and slangin that pony tail) made me wanna thro my computer… some of it was sick o ning…
& the detailing of the planets and the dust and ish was cool 2…
But I just wanted more from Janet…. I mean it kinda gave “Call on me” that green screen of a mess she did with nelly….
So overall I just wanted more… is that 2 much 2 ask for from a “legend”…..
sighs… guess it is.
Cant for this summer 2 roll around again…. somebody’s going 2 execute…
wonder who thats going 2 “bey”……
get in.
HA! I was raised on her music, my mom being a ridiculous Janet fan….Let me tell you CL….Im not a Janet hardcore fan but I love her as an artist if that makes any sense….
Personally I wanted to see her do more dancing but me being one who thinks outside the box I loved the video….why because she’s a bad chic and she don’t have to dance for you to know this…lol!
Janet Im ALL for change…steppin up your game…but please do more dancing in the next video…that’s why I love you….
HOTT!!!!!
Ok watched it for the second time:
This video is F**kin AMAZING! Like Brian said I paid attention to the details and it is impeccable. Hot.
Very artistic and creative. Hot video.
Is it just ME or were they dancin in a bowl of cereal?! lol Cause it looked like that was MILK in the background and it COULS just be ME but I coulda SWORN that was a COCO PUFF she punched. lol
I still hate the song but the video is HOT. Which is to be expected cause she always brings when it comes to videos.
@ ICON
Yo what’s with the “bey”? That was funny but I’m seriously tryna forget her right now…lol.
And I was expecting something different as well but I actually like this and I’m not a Janet homer either because I thought “Call On Me” song and video were shitterific, but it’s whatever. I think her second single will be hotter for some reason I can’t put my finger on it…
lol @ the way #27 ended their comment. I with you on that aspect. Summer hurry up!!!! Cause we need the queen!
THAT VIDEO SUCK JUST LIKE THE SONG
The over the top special effects takes away from the song and choreography. Most of her recent videos have relied heavily on the unnecessary computer graphics.
I have grown to love the song, “Do ya like my style? Yeah, that’s sexy! Sexy! Sexy!”
But…the jury is still out on the video, though she was working the hell outta that red outfit at the end! Video is “different.” Hmmmm…
aiiiiiiiiiiiiiight GO JANET..love the end of the video..
well well janet shows how muck these yong girls aint got shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit on her
uh it was alright, medicore at best. janet has to come stronger with the next video,coz this isn’t gonna do it.i bet MTV is gonna ignore this
Artistically the video was brilliant! The song – not so great. Janet’s dance moves are very similar to some of her previous videos – so I was not impressed with the choreography as well. It would be great to see her mature as an artist lyrically. Overall, I wish her well and admire her persistence!

^^^^ I agree. I wish the video could’ve been better, doesn’t do the song enough justice.
The video is really European style but that’s kinda fresh to me. Kinda slow in the begining but you must admit the workd that out in the end!!!! I knew she was gonna bring the choreography and I’m gld ol’ Gil stepped up to the plate. She was slinging the hell outta that ponytail for real. Way better than cal on me!!
Icon, you can let it go!
Beyonce ain’t done a hot video since “baby boy”! Then that bitch got CHEAP and started cutting corners on her budget and her videos have looked liked Wal-mart commercials ever since.
Anywho, this Janet video is good (not great). Whenever an artist thinks outside the box everybody isn’t going to like it. But she get kudos for taking a chance and doing something her peers wouldn’t even try. for all those won don’t like it, give it a chance. Visually it has a lot to offer.
I pulled this from a fan site…

OK, here listen. It might seem “slow to you” because Saam doesn’t do complicated camera moves. You notice that the camera BARELY moves in this video. That’s because – as I said before – moving cameras make moving backgrounds. The fewer things that are moving on the screen, the easier it is to compress the image, because there are fewer pixels to “change” so you don’t have as blurry of a shot. Notice how often there are just quick cuts to a new angle and little if any rolling or tracking cameras. He’s a genius at new medium, and that’s why it will look really good in compressed form.
Second, the story. It’s not that hard. It’s Mario Galaxy meets Barbarella meets clash of Titans. Each of the Daft Punk androids rules one of the plants. Notice there are 9 people in the video. Counting Pluto, which I still do, how many planets are in our solar system? They are all climbing over their planets stalking each other. It’s a metaphor. Live with it.
Dancing = Battle.
They are fighting and Janet jumps down off of her planet into a place with a very viscous white fluid. Sure you can take the easy road to what it’s supposed to be, or just be more metaphorical and look at it as the soup in which the universe is formed. The breakdown is the final battle. They all fall in behind her, it’s about to go down.
Everyone’s planets start falling and crashing into the soup of life. Janet smashes (dances) until she breaks the last planet with her hand and all of the Daft Punk androids get sucked back into the soup of life. A new Janet is shot out of the soup – free of her constraints, free of her battle gear and begins to organize the spheres of light to her making – lining up the planets the way she wants them. When she gets them just right she thrusts the last one forward, releasing them in to the universe. Thousands of spheres that shoot out of the soup of life back into space.
She sees evil around her, decides to leave her planet behind to go and fight this evil and when she wins, she gets to create the Universe she wants to live in.
It’s so not complicated to me. [/quote]
I love it and ain’t even seen the video yet, cept that lil teezer 106 n park gave us.
By the way I can’t STAND Rocsi…PLEASE USE ME AS A DAMN HOST SHIT~!
Ok back to J.J.~I’ll give my 2 cents after I finish posting…
Ok I’m done posting~Onto the video….TeeHeeHee
Love the special effects in the video! Not really sure about the milk stuff at the end…What is that supposed to mean? Janet plays with balls and then milk erupts from the ground. What kind of nasty imagery is that?!
YESSSS Janet,,. FINALLY!!!
Love the concept and she looks fly as ever. Her dancing at the end was great!!!
If only she could sing well… **sigh….
LMAO @ #45…I still aint watched the video yet…But that was funny!
Ok now I’m bout to watch it..Lol
GARBAGE!!! the song, the video and her singing.
@45 DONT DO IT BOO!!!!
DONT DO IT…..
OMG i’m so diggin this!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Janet is back boys and girls!!!!
ps. am I the only one with my mind in the gutter? Like in the end the white balls flying up as lil sperm cells? ROTFL
The video is cool but not feeling the song too much. Maybe it has to grow on me. I think Velvet Rope was Janet’s best era.
