Janet (1994)

Janet , period

The concept project , "Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814" showed a woman with a message. This project shows a woman with a body. In these videos , Janet expresses herself , not by showing off her thoughts , but by showing off her breasts! You can see that by the cover. This hour-long program includes :

Part 1
That's The Way Love Goes : Directed by Rene Elezondo Jr. This lay-back video also includes an apperance by Janet's then dancer Jennifer Lopez!!! (yes , you heard me right)

If : Directed by Domenic Sena. (also directed "Rhythm Nation" & "Miss You Much") This is the uncut , completely uncensored version of the video! It wasn't shown on BET , MTV , or VH1 because it featured extras in the video acting out explicit innuendo.

Again : Directed by Rene Elezondo Jr. This Oscar-nomminated song was featured in Janet's film with Tupac , "Poetic Justice"

Anytime , Anyplace : A hot (and I mean hot) video. More like a soft porn.
Not for children , adults only.

You Want This : Goes very well with the song. A very summer time , spring break type video.

Part 2 - Alternate Versions
That's The Way Love Goes : One take version

If : All dance version

Anytime , Anyplace : R. Kelly Mix. This video is a lot steamier than the original.

You Want This : Colorized version

Includes exclusive behind the scenes footage and dance rehersal sessions from "If". This rare & hard-to-find item should be bought now. (only if you're a true Janet fan) February 17, 2004

'Should come wrapped in brown paper!

THIS AIN'T THE SAME JANET THAT PRANCED AROUND THE "RHYTYM NATION"!

Five full-length music videos, and their behind-the-scenes "making", are presented in this slightly-longer-than-an-hour compilation. It is fascinating to watch all the pre-production and the development of the respective dance routines. One gets to glimpse future stars Jennifer Lopez (billed as a "featured dancer") and Gary Dourdan of "CSI", playing Jackson's love interest in "Again".

The soft-porn "Any Time, Any Place" makes this one a little too hot for younger audiences. Of course, this version was the one shown on the respective music video television channels, but it hasn't lost its "steam" after ten years.

I had an objection with it then, and I maintain that same one now: MARK IT "ADULTS ONLY!" January 3, 2004
