What happen to the days of LOVE WILL NEVER DO, the Broadway Gangsta of ALRIGHT w/heavy d. the innovative dancing of PLEASURE PRINCIPLE, the EXCITMENT OF RHY. NATION, is it that these people get older and lose their swag and energry, I’m saying has Janet seen GET ME BODIED,,the dancers are good, the routines are fresh….GIL IS not INNOVATIVE

PROVOST...

I
KNOW
THAT’S
RIGHT!!

Janet delivered [period]

You know what this video is? It’s a departure. It’s departure from all the painfully OBVIOUS mindlessness we see our TVs littered with in 2008, and no one knows how to take it because it’s been so long since we saw a movement like this.

Don’t believe it’s a movement? Look at Flashing Lights, for example. (Yall STILL beatin Kanye’s ass over that one, lmao!) Wait til Teyana’s comes out with the kids in it goin OFF. Whether by miracle or because some true artists actually got together and said it was time for change, there are a couple of missions here: 1) Black videos are about to start sharing the ARTIST’S VISION in creating the song (NOT just what the label and the manager and the publicist and the marketing department and TRL and 106 believe the audience will expect);2) Simplicity is once again key (simple does not = obvious, as Janet and Kanye demonstrate); and 3) Black artists are about to start exposing their fans to the expressive styles of groups of people our mainstream music has not always readily identified with (i.e. Europeans and the Kidz, lol!).

Just get ready, cause I have been for a loooong time.

What happen to the Spark? Do ya’ll remember the Broadway Style of ALRIGHT w/heavy do. The Incredible dancing of Pleasure Principal, The Simplistic Sexuality of Love Will Never Do, The Anger in Miss U Much, or even the soft beautiful Let’s Wait Awhile????? Janet was our Princess. WHAT HAPPEN? ok so she’s 40, but she just doesn’t stand out among her tired dancers no more. She has lost that spark, …NOTE TO JANET..have u seen Beyonce’s Get Me Bodied?????? she has great attractive Normal looking dancers, great Routines (gil, u’ve been making janet do the same dance since Does It Really Matter)….

81.

the one is back

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Janet is back and is the ish period. She could stand there and I would watch her do her thing. She is an ICON nuff said I cannot wait until the promotional tour. That is right she is NUMBER ONE, SNITCHES!!!! Check the stats. Ohhhh I am so there!

the one has spoken.. go buy the album snitches.

Laid back video. Janet I have been a fan for over 20years. The girl still got it, the music and is innovative and fresh. I remember 20years ago European music and kidz type music was the ish. Just like style repeats itself, so does musical influences.

Giggles

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Love the song! Love the video but she could have mixed it up more, I agree with 68 they could have had different rooms representing different eras which would exemplify the years that Janets been making music perhaps. That would have added some spice to it!

90.

Giggles

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

And the video reminds me a bit of Pleasure principle, which is one of my faves

91.

Ty

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

What happen to the Sexuality of Love Will Never Do, the INNOVATIVE dancing of Pleasure Principal, The Anger of Miss u Much, The INCREDIBLE VIDEOS : When i think of u, and Rhy Nation, Escapade, ALRIGHT w/Heavy D. WHY can’t they make a Janet Video with PROPER LIGHTING for a person of color…a DECENT WIG,,,,has JANET SEEN BEYONCE’S GET ME BODIED…now while i don’t care for Beyonce all that much, She makes INCREDIBLE VIDEOS…JANET TAKE NOTE

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Oh gawd Ty. lol

She’s in a different space. It’s different times. And she’s trying to find NEW ways to be innovative.

I agree Alright, LWNDWY, and Miss U Much were all AMAZING groundbreaking videos, but she’s not the same Janet from those days anymore. She does certain things to remind you of that Janet, but if she were still be doing the same things from those days, she wouldn’t grow as an artist or have grown as artist.

FLYGIRL

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Whoever mentioned Beyonce she STFU because beyonce dance skills are no where near Janets. B’s moves are all about shaking her booty she doesn’t have the choregraphy (sp
?) of Janet.. I like the video go Janet..

98.

NOTHING AT ALL, THEY JUST HAVE THE SAME TITLE.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

I like the song. Its something nice to hear while shopping in H&M.
But the video is too artistic for me. I think could pass on that.
I guess I agree with #16. I wanted a video. Not a performance.

100.

simplylovely

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Janet looks like a old lady trying to be sexy in that hair and make-up! And the video looks like a cheap Thriller version.

101.

simplylovely

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Like some of her songs on the album though, one of them being this song.

102.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

103.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

I THINK SOME PEOPLE JUST LIKE TO HATE….BUT COULDNT EVEN COME CLOSE TO DOING WHAT THAT WOMAN IS DOING!!!!! THIS IS DEFINITELY SOME OVERSEAS SHIT!!!!!! THEY ARE ALWAYS ON THE MONEY WITH VIDEOS VISUALLY….I THINK IT DONT MATTER CAUSE SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO HATE..EVEN IF JANET BROUGHT JESUS BACK IN ONE OF HER VIDEOS PEOPLE WILL STILL HAVE SOMETHING TO HATE ABOUT!

105.

A music video is a performance. At least that is what it is suppose to be.

107.

TATUM

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Her moves have always been awesome!!!! Beyounce can’t touch her dancing skills and shaking your butt does not constitute real dancing.

I wanna know where are all the hating ass bitch young queens at? Dem hat’n ass bitches are sour now, yall worse than the old white bosses at CBS still mad at Janet for pulling her titty out…yall some ugly hat’n ass idiots! Think about it, with all the hate and negativity Janet has managed to debut at #1 and feedback just jumped from #58 to #19 on the hot 100…I know yall just sick to death!!!! LOL

109.

TATUM

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Dont get me wrong bey is really good at what she does however Janet is a better dancer by far even at age 41.

Nichole

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

@108. Yeah. Thanks to iTunes and digital downloads. With the digital system, any piece of shit song can hit a top spot on the Hot 100 nowadays. If it weren’t for digital downloads, Feedback wouldn’t have went any where. And perfect example now would be Usher’s latest song. Which skyrocketed to #1 thanks to over 200,000 digital downloads. I wish they’d get rid of that system.

Anywhoo. I thought the video was crap. It reminded me too much of Madonna’s Hung Up. It was boring through and through. It would’ve been nice if Janet had changed up her outfits, or something.

112.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Digital downloads are just like buying the single Nichole where have you been. The rarely sell anything physical anymore single wise other than 12″. Either way you can’t really hate because she made the top 20 after all the haters sasid she wouldn’t.

Not to bash janet cause i love her & this song is nice. But it sounds like a slowed down techno version of “somebody’s watching me” by her brother. Just some of the elements & the melodies in the chorus. But eh. The europop thing is def. workin.

116.

Brittany

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

for the first 2 minutes and 30 seconds i’m thinking “wtf kinda song is this” now i’m in love with this song after a second listen. I even love the video more now. Go Janet!

117.

How do you go from “FEEDBACK” to this?!? This song is on the wrong album…and that makes it WACK!!! Next!

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

#98(SHAWN), I am old enough. And this song is very much a remake of Michael’s song whether the two songs sound similar are not. She said it was and that she gave it her own twist. How are you a Janet stan and not know that? Your stan skills are slipping…lol.

Janet’s album is Fiyah!!!! Janet Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaase let “Luv” be next single!!!!!!!!!

This is a great, visionary dance video! It completly fits the record, and the Whoo Kids inspiration that Jan so clearly articulated on the Access Granted episode. I love Jan’s screen presence, the choreography, and the sexy cinematography. I hope that the general audience can see this for the fine work of art that it is, and for the urban community, look beyond their “hood lense,” to see how bananas this song and video really are! Also, Rock With U is one of 3 singles out at radio right now, so if you prefer LUV but you ain’t hearing it, just request it on your local station. Commercial radio has some kind of conspiracy going against Janet, so real fans and supporters have to step up to get her the spins that she deserves. Sales alone just got Feedback in to the Top 20 on the Hot 100, so it can be done.

I also like “This Can’t B Good”…love it!!!!

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

yeah there is something going on at radio…i know in atlanta v103 is not supporting her, it seems like v103 is owned by cbs and they are telling their stations not to play Janet. Of course v103 will not admit this…but fuck them! For a black station not to support their own because their corporate bosses are pulling the strings is wack! But Janet proves that you can’t keep a good women down!

#11… You can rewind this video back to her own style from “When I Think Of You” and that video was done in the 80’s. This is like a new 08 version.

127.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE BLACK PEOPLE ON THIS SITE: Why are we beating up this artist?. I’ve notice alot of comparison between Janet and Beyonce. conversation about Janet’s age but on the other hand when it comes to Madonna, there isn’t any real conversation. There isn’t any comparison between her and any white female artist. No one is dissing her about a 50 yr OLD WHITE WOMEN trying to do YOUNG music but instead she get a PASS and we called it ” INVENTING HER”… HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE DOING THIS

128.

Ok, y’all bitches can hate on the video all y’all want. While, the video doesn’t particularly float my boat (RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT but, I’m sure it will later). You hatin’ asses bastards have to admit that this woman is ALWAYS pushing the envelop and coming out of left field w/ new innovaative shit that’s never been done before but, will be done from now on b/c SHE DID IT FIRST! Just watch,…you HATERS are out in full force, and next will be the IMITATORS bitin’ her shit. Please believe. 26yrs. in the business, and showing no signs of slowing down.

I absolutetly love this video and song! it is very sexy and sensual and she has taken it to a whole notha level! Like someone mentioned this is how you stay relevant. the ordinary video with a dance break just don’t get it anymore. Thank God for the return of the real artists in music. Welcom Janet, Mariah, Erykah Badu, Usher, and …hopefully in the next few months….Whitney!

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

I like it. I like it better than the first. It does not look like a britney video to me as someone said. Britney’s video’s looked like Janet’s videos. People need to remember she started this. She cannot copy her own stuff. I am glad she did not do any of the computer green screen stuff on this video.

2. LOVe and I Mean Love the song it’s so infectious Can’t nobody harmonize on a track like Janet can
3.Love the choreography!!!
This was for her Gay Fans and they are eating this shit up with a spoon right now. To those who are saying “Luv” should’ve been the next single….. LUV and Rock with U are both singles. I can’t wait for the LUV Video.

150.

I'm sooo sorry
