Which is the best video: "Rhythm Nation" or "If"?

Yes "Rhythm Nation" was a great video, coordination and all...but i just love the "If" video!!! The sexual innuendo dance moves and all... very sexy video, coordination was on point and all. Janet was at her best in this video... biggrin

Which one do you love the most?

? "if" looks so ordinary now as its been copied so many times.


I go for "rhythm nation". The look, and dancing rock. Choreography is killer.

RN is probably the better video overall, although If is probably the better-made.

ever notice how the tv and the video collection version slightly differ on "alright"? In the tv version, a few of the dance sequences are longer but cut out the special guests liek cab etc... and vice versa.


I love the "alright" video. by far my fav video of hers.

Worst is "again". What a rubbish video.

Speaking of dancing, I want Tina Landon to come back. I haven't been feling Janet's choreorgaphy for a minute. But I did like Alll Nite (Don't Stop). The guy who choreographed that was good. I forgot his name.

Of the two, "If" is my fave. She looked great, still remember those long red curtains blowing, the dancing was good - any move where you grab a dude's head & jerk it @ your cooch is good thumbs up! lol

Overall "Love Will Never Do" & "Pleasure Principle" are still my fave Janet vids smile

Gil Dohmadol or something like that.

i don't think Shawnette was as good as Tina.

Gil is good. I would love to see him redo all of her songs for the next tour and retire the old routines.

my vote goes with If.

I love both videos, but I'd have to vote for Rhythm Nation. The choreography was so intricate and exacting that I'm still trying to learn the moves. Yeah, I know. I need to get a life.

I prefer "If".

But if we're bringing other videos into the mix, then I would vote for "Got Til It's Gone".

I didn't know there were 2 versions of the video. I like them both but between the 2, I'd go for RN. It was just so fresh and exciting plus the whole excitement of RN1814 coming out was just crazy.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

If is very sexy.

But, my vote goes to Rhythm Nation

I'm going to second the 'Pleasure Principle' and 'Love Will Never Do' opinion, but since that wasn't the question, I'd have to go with 'Rhythm Nation'. I think that 'If' is good, but as a song and as a video, I think it's overrated. The dance breakdown rips off Paula Abdul's 'Cold Hearted' video. Watch them again and compare.

Rhythm Nation might be a second-hand MJ impersonation, but he bit 'The Knowledge' for the ending for the 'Black or White' video, so that at least evens them out.
