Tina Landon set the bars high for what a dance break in a music video should be, and she showed her contemporaries and those that came after her how to choreograph a dance production. As a singer and performer, Janet Jackson showed everyone what it means to be the queen of funky and sexy dance moves. She's still the Queen of Dance Music.

I think this new generation has no idea this song and That's the Way Love Goes were beyond popular at the time. They changed the trajectory of pop music and the music videos were among the best of all time. The dancing and style of this song in particular were emulated a hundred times over by all the pop stars coming up a few years later. She absolutely is and will always be considered an icon - in the same league as her brother.

My friends and I would stay up at night to rewind that part of the video and try it over and over ... at that moment in time, EVRY BLACK GIRL IN THE WORLD loved and admired Janet Jackson. That moment in this video was so amazing because it matched with the music and the dance and that never happens before in any other video. It was really a moment in eternity where dance hit you in your soul and you new that Janet was a star and we could be stars too, oneday. LoL It was indescribable. Thank you Janet and Domenic sena

Fun fact: The guy at the opening of the video is speaking Cantonese. He is being refused entry because he doesn't have the password (which, as the following woman client reveals, is simply, "if"). What the guy is saying translates (basically) as: "I have money; let me in. Give her (the prostitute inside) the money and tell her she can come out and see me." At the end of the video, he is boasting of his importance: "Don't you know who I am?" He refers to himself as "uncle", which, in Cantonese speak, is the equivalent of "boss" or "daddy" in English.

Rhythm Nation deserved video of the year in 1990, I have no clue how it wasn't even nominated, the fact that it wasn't even nominated was crazy, it deserved to win video of the year, one of the most iconic music videos of all time. The pleasure principle should have been nominated or even won video of the year too in 1988 too, that video was incredibly iconic and everyone wanted to be like Janet, the choreography and chair routine in the warehouse, her black jeans and knee pads, that video deserved video of the year. It's crazy that her only video that was nominated for video of the year was All for you in 2001, and that is far from her most iconic work, she deserved a least one win for video of the year.
