Video Notables – Janet Jackson
21 Nov
After a week of interviews and “making of” video clips, the full version of Janet’s “Make Me” video has made its way out onto the Internet. The clip is primarily a dance performance, but there is some CG going on that gives it a bit of a “Scream” tribute vibe. Janet looks stunning, the dance routines are typical of Janet’s bubbly choreography preference, and the black and white color scheme really strips it down to just her. My fingers are still crossed for this to become a hit, but I don’t know if I get the way this is being promoted. Here’s hoping that her show-opening performance on the American Music Awards Sunday night kicks some life into the track.

Stumble It!
“Discipline” was such a strong album, and underrated, here’s hoping this single puts Janet back where she should be!
Amen to Discipline. So underrated.
Thanks for posting that. I agree it has a “Scream” vibe, and the way the dance routine is done reminds me of Madonna’s “Lucky Star.” It would be nice for Janet to have a hit, and I guess the AMA’s are a decent showcase for her (although for all the meaning that an AMA has, I might as well be handing out music awards too).
I would pay to see that. Let the people do the awarding!
I’m all for this, but it was just timed all wrong. It should’ve been released next year. There’s just too much to process right now for me to give this the proper attention it deserves.
Agreed, although she was probably under contract to do a new song for the Greatest Hits record.
I’m ready for Janet to be back too, so I’m hoping this will be a nice sizeable hit for her, or at least give her back some much needed buzz.
We’ll see how it goes down tonight on the AMAs!
FLOP!
Bitch is not in La Toya’s league!
Did you see the Janet interview with ABC (US) last week? LaToya told her early on that she was going to have a weight problem. Is that why you call Toy a visionary?
It’s a tight vid, but WTF with the promotion of it? I swear Janet’s record co. folks mus think it’s still 1986 or something… Hello! Records just don’t sell themselves anymore…get with the program…!
I would imagine the record company is in a bad position, trying to promote the record without being seen as jackals, dining on the grave of her brother. The single deserves much more attention than it is getting.
