Janet Jackson is trending on Twitter today (April 18) after a K-pop stan reacted to a video of the star dancing — and fans were not pleased with the response.
“this looks so funny she dances like a chicken,” the user wrote. In another tweet, they added, “getting into kpop really made me realise most of western artists just… can’t put put on a performance. cause tell me why even the biggest names waddle on the stage and would get outdance by a tier 5 nugu group from a company with 3 employees.”

“your favorite kpop groups would not exist without Janet Jackson and probably won’t exist within the next 18 months. do not speak of her,” someone chimed in.
Others shared some videos, including one of Jackson’s 2001 performance on MTV. “Imagine thinking your fave is even comparable. She was 25 here and it was just light work for her. She could do this stuff in her sleep,” another captioned. (They later corrected themselves and noted she was actually 35 at the time.)

Meanwhile, someone else just warned the original user of what was going to happen. “U got the biggest storm coming and locking the doors isn’t going to do anything LOL,” they wrote.
U got the biggest storm coming and locking the doors isn’t going to do anything LOL
I love it when (mostly) young kpop fans think that when their faves do something, theyre the first and best ones to do it when literally kpop owes black artists their whole industry lmfao https://t.co/lr8mto8SQj

Janet Jackson is a legendary icon of music and pop culture. She has produced some of the most memorable music videos throughout her career. From her “Control” days exploring independence to her light-hearted party jams of the 2000s, Ms. Jackson is a commanding figure. Her videos are also known for their creative and visually stunning concepts, powerful messages, and innovative choreography. Here are some of Janet Jackson’s best music videos (in no particular order!) and why they have stood the test of time.
“Rhythm Nation” (1989)
“Rhythm Nation” is arguably Janet Jackson’s most iconic music video. It was released in 1989 as the lead single from her album of the same name. Additionally, the visual was directed by Dominic Sena. It features Janet and her dancers dressed in military-inspired outfits, performing complex choreography. The video also shows powerful images of social justice issues like poverty and racism.
Further, the “Rhythm Nation” video is widely regarded as a groundbreaking work of art. It also helped to usher in a new era of socially conscious music videos. It remains a powerful statement on the importance of unity and equality. Its influence can be seen in the work of many artists who would come later.
“That’s The Way Love Goes” (1993)
Released in 1993 as the lead single from her album Janet, “That’s the Way Love Goes” is a sensual slow jam. It also features Janet in a more relaxed and natural state. The video, directed by René Elizondo Jr., features Janet and dancers in a backyard party setting. The “That’s the Way Love Goes” visual departs from Janet’s earlier, more high-concept videos. However, it is no less impactful. It showcases Janet’s natural beauty and charisma and is a testament to her ability to captivate an audience with even the simplest concepts.
“Together Again” (1997)
“Together Again” was released in 1997 as a single from Janet’s album The Velvet Rope. The song is a tribute to Janet’s friend, who died from AIDS. The video, directed by Janet herself, fis also a celebration of life and the memories of loved ones. It also features the singer and her dancers in a club setting, surrounded by friends and family. The video also features images of people who have died from AIDS and messages of hope and support for those living with the disease. It is a touching and emotional tribute to those lost to the epidemic. Further, this is a testament to Janet’s commitment to using her platform to raise awareness about important issues.
“All for You” (2001)
“All for You” was released in 2001 as the lead single from Janet’s album of the same name. The video, directed by Dave Meyers, is set in a futuristic, neon-lit cityscape. The “All for You” video showcases Janet’s ability to blend her talents into an impactful work of art. It is a celebration of love, freedom, and joy. It remains one of Janet’s most beloved videos.
“Got ‘Til It’s Gone” (1997)
“Got ’til It’s Gone” was released in 1997 as the lead single from Janet’s album The Velvet Rope. The video, directed by Mark Romanek, is a tribute to South African singer and activist Miriam Makeba. It also features a mix of vintage and modern footage and imagery inspired by African culture. When released, this visual moved its audience with its feel-good nature. Moreover, Jackson’s continued message of celebrating life’s experiences with loved ones is felt throughout.
“If” (1993)
“If” arrived in 1993 on Janet. It is a sexy song where Jackson declares what she would do to someone, but only if they were together. The “If” video also shows Janet’s ability to push boundaries and challenge traditional gender roles in her art. Additionally, Janet was an album that showed a more assertive and sexual side to the Pop icon. “If” catapulted her into a new arena, although at the time, Ms. Jackson was no stranger to sensuality in her music.
“Miss You Much” (1989)
“Miss You Much” was released in 1989 as the lead single from Janet’s album Rhythm Nation 1814. The video features Janet in a dance studio. She and her dancers also performed intricate choreography reportedly inspired by Broadway musicals and classic Hollywood movies. The “Miss You Much” video shows Janet’s ability to merge different styles and influences. Additionally, in the track itself, Jackson unashamedly admits to how sprung she is off her lover.
Janet Jackson’s Impact
Janet Jackson’s music videos have indelibly impacted pop culture and music history. From the socially conscious messages of “Rhythm Nation” to the seductive and playful vibes of “All for You.” Jackson’s visuals have also pushed boundaries, challenged conventions, and inspired generations of fans and artists alike. Through her music and art, she has also always been committed to using her platform to raise awareness. Overall, her videos are a testament to her unwavering commitment to positively impacting the world.

Janet Jackson is set to go on tour this summer. In a new announcement, the legend will capture her life in the forthcoming documentary, Family First.
The new documentary will be delivered by Lifetime and A&E, chronicling her efforts to bring the Jackson family band back together for the first time in 40 years. The effort will be done with her brother Randy.
Jackson said of the doc, “I am excited to continue to share my story, and welcome fans into my life and the ‘Together Again’ tour. Thank you for your never-ending support, and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.”
Randy Jackson added, “In this next chapter in the documentary, Janet and I are thrilled to welcome viewers on the road with us as we embark on the ‘Together Again’ tour, celebrating the milestone of 50 years of Janet’s career with fans across the country. We look forward to the continued partnership with Lifetime and A&E, and to sharing our family with viewers.”
Janet Jackson’s tour is her first in four years. This time she’s bringing Ludacris.
Janet just announced her 2023 Together Again North American Tour on social media, and fans wonder what she has up her sleeves.
“I’m going back on tour and yes we will be together again very, very soon,” Jackson said in an Instagram video on Monday. “I miss you guys so much and I can’t wait to see you. Our opening show is April 14 in Hollywood, Florida. I’m so excited.”
When you’re in a family as big as Janet Jackson is, there’s bound to be drama from time to time. The most recent tidbit of gossip to catch the eye of bloggers comes from TJ Jackson’s Twitter page, where he markedly shared his thoughts on his aunt’s past performances. His comments came in response to another user who shared a salacious video of the R&B vocalist grinding on a man and feeling him up as the audience watched on.
“I never liked when she did this in concerts either” he explained, proving that he’s not hypocritical for calling out Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion over their controversial “WAP” song in other tweets. “I don’t like when females are overly sexualized in art… It degrades and [objectifies] women in a way that’s not healthy,” he went on to say. Afterward, he confirmed that he has a preference for the “That’s The Way Love Goes” version of Janet.
Jackson Family Drama
I never liked when she did this in concerts either. I don’t like when females are overly sexualized in art…it degrades and objectify’s women in a way that’s not healthy. I prefer the “That’s The Way Love Goes” Janet.
It’s unfair but men aren’t as objectified as women. Nevertheless to me it diminishes it and leads to other stereotypes. Vulgarity is not art to me…it’s more shock and awe and can lead to perceptions, and even worse, role models that don’t help our advancement.
TJ’s comments didn’t take long to earn him dozens of angry and confused replies, many of which he gave the time of day to. When asked by a follower what his thoughts would be on a similar performance from a male, he explained, “It’s unfair, but men aren’t as objectified as women. Nevertheless, to me, it diminishes it and leads to other stereotypes.” The way the singer sees it, “vulgarity is not art,” rather, it’s used to create shock and awe.
“[It] can lead to perceptions, and even worse, role models that don’t help our advancement,” his post concluded. Despite those continuing to come at him, the 44-year-old made it clear in several well-written tweets that his stance is what it is, but he still has love for his aunt. Elsewhere in the debate, others tried to call out TJ for trashing Janet when the “Rhythm Nation” artist‘s brother was known as something of a sex symbol during his prime.
TJ Defends His Late Uncle, Michael
His videos never objectified women. That’s my issue. I can’t understand why you would be okay with that. I’m trying to teach my daughters to be queens not hoes.
“So when Michael grabbed his crotch and even got his video banned for vulgarity, did that diminish his art?” one person pressed TJ. “[Because] you could argue he, at times, was more vulgar than Janet,” they added. Not long after, MJ’s nephew came to his late uncle’s defense. “His videos never objectified women,” the father of four pointed out.
He then wrote, “That’s my issue. I can’t understand why you would be okay with that. I’m trying to teach my daughters to be queens, not hoes.” Do you think that Janet Jackson’s past performances were too sexy? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
Tom Brady has played in a lot of Super Bowls throughout his historic career. In fact, he has played in a grand total of 10 of them. Overall, he has won seven, which is an incredible record. Many of his Super Bowl appearances have been historic, for many reasons. His second Super Bowl was particularly historic, although not for the best reasons. That is because Janet Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction during the halftime show with Justin Timberlake. Subsequently, Jackson received a ton of backlash while Timberlake received nothing. As for Brady, his Patriots went on to win against the Carolina Panthers.
During the most recent episode of his Let’s Go podcast, Brady was asked about the Jackson moment. Although the whole world saw it take place, Brady really only found out about it after the game. However, he acknowledges just how big of a moment it was. That said, Brady doesn’t seem to think of it from Jackson’s perspective. In his eyes, this was simply just a huge moment for the NFL.

“It took a while for us to figure out exactly what had gone on,” Brady said. “I think in the end, it was probably a good thing for the NFL because everyone got to talk about it, and it was just more publicity and more publicity for halftime shows. Is any publicity bad publicity? That’s what they say, so, who knows?” Following these comments, Brady was immediately criticized on Twitter for his take. After all, these remarks came across as misinformed given everything Jackson went through. “Janet Jackson faced public humiliation and outright misogynoir resulting in her getting blacklisted by the former CEO of CBS, but Tom Brady thinks all of that was ok because all publicity is good publicity,” one user noted.
In the other responses below, you could tell that people were upset with what Brady had to say. To this day, Janet Jackson is still dealing with the fallout from that halftime show. Overall, it was very traumatic for her, and fans wish Brady had a bit more sensitivity toward that. Whether or not he will respond to this controversy, remains to be seen.

I don’t think he understands the amount of shit she went through after that backlash. That comment was too superficial and shallow. https://t.co/lk7XJ331GH
Yet another reason why I can’t stand this man. Stfu and keep Janet’s name out your mouth. https://t.co/kcwm6WAr85

Big oof for Tom Brady. I’ve been in Janet’s shoes once and it was one of the most violating feelings. Men who have this mindset need a big wake up call. https://t.co/tfqLA5x5w5
