Hype lost major points with this one.

The scene with Nelly riding on a ship? Enough said.

At first her part reminded me of that movie The Cell...

But the theme/concept has jack shit to do with the song... then again, when do they ever nowadays...

But Nelly on the ship was a stupid-ass choice, I think at that point they're showing off the animated nonsense they can create - who cares & where haven't we seen that in a film (where it was done better)??

And the scene w/ the 2 of them together was downright BORING...

But whatever, the kids will eat it up shrug She looks great... & if only Nelly didn't have those damn caps on his teeth disbelief
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

The video makes the song better. My aunt once said "I wouldn't like Janet Jackson's music if I'd never seen her videos." Now I totally know what she meant.

It reminded me of The Cell also.

I just don't like Nelly's style...it doesn't fit with the rest of the picture. And Janet needs to lay off the weight training. Man shoulders. But I love her any which way.
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

I am a Janet fan but I'm not feeling the song at all. The video? I am not a big fan of videos - so ???
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.

How is that a great video? It's like any other r'n'b video out there except with an asian theme, its just her standing there and posing for the camera but just in asian clothes rather then the typical r'n'b clothes.

That's SOMETHING compared to most other r'n'b/rap videos out there. In the midst of a bunch of club/automotive/thugged-out/bling-bling/sex-drenched atmospheres, this video stands out as a tad more imaginative.

Ain't feelin it, still sad


I am also NOT feeling it. I usually like Janet's videos but this video is VERY boring, IMO. The only thing going for it is are the costumes that Janet is wearing and the beautiful cinematography. There is no chemistry between Janet and Nelly. In fact, Nelly acts as if he doesn't want to be there. Whenever they are together on screen, everything goes downhill from there. Actually, the best scenes are when they are alone on the screen. The video adds no meaning to the song. Maybe when I view it a second time, I will change my mind. That's what happened with the Beyonce video, the first time I was not feeling it, by the second and subsequent times I am LOVING the Beyonce video. I guess it helps that I love the song "Deja Vu" and Janet's "Call On Me" is just not a good song and the video didn't help.

Was it premiered on Mtv? If not, why?


Jermaine Dupri did an interview on Steve Harvey's show last week. He said that MTV refused to premiere Janet's video and do a "Making of" because he or she didn't want to speak of the Superbowl incident. I guess MTV wants her to discuss it since they produced her halftime show during the Superbowl last year. We can take this to mean that either they refused to premiere the video or they are refusing to show the video at all. We will have to wait and see.

I've come to this conclusion. The video fits with the song. They are both boring. yawn
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

I like it! It's a fantasy video about a lover that will be anywhere you want, anywhere you need. AND it showed Nelly's fine ass half-naked!

I give it star star star star star

At least Hype didn't do the split-screen thing again that was in every one of his videos the last few years.

Most of the video is really pretty.
Too bad they didn't use it for a different track.

I don't hate this song, but I just can't listen to it again.
Already have music playing so I watched the video muted.
I like it better that way.

Visually, it reminds me a lot of Mary J.'s Everything video with the bold colors and that dreamy effect to the shots. I like it a lot.

Because it's Janet Jackson -- a hailed Video Queen. confused That's why.

If this was made by any other singer, trust -- you'd be seeing all the real raw uncut opinions finally unleashed. I don't see how ppl can ignore all the bogus badly executed backdrops throughout this video. neutral

Disappointing, I was hoping for at least good.

This sounds like any other song that Nelly is featured in.

The video was like watching "The Never Ending Story" and "Time Bandits" slurred together. They must like those movies.

Watching Nelly and Janet rubbing up on each other at the end was uncomfortable to watch for some reason.

I really hope that this isn't the mark of the whole albumn.
Lazy stuff if you ask me.

The clothes that are typically worn in r'n'b videos, as if you didnt know what I meant. Just as there are typical rock clothes and typical punk clothes and typical clothes in all types of music genres.

I think it's a good sign of finally reaching adulthood when you have to admit to yourself Janet Jackson can't bring herself to sing a single note.

I said the same thing about the dookie chains. I hope they stay in the past.

Sept. 26 is supposedly the album release date. Jermaine keeps saying they're getting married on that day, but Janet recently said that it wasn't true and that she thinks it's a joke, unless he was trying to surprise her. Sounds like he is going to surprise her, because he says it every chance he gets

She's probably trying to throw us off hmmm Or maybe they're both fucking with us shrug
