LOVE the song and the video is her best in 10 years.

I love the song and video, it's so simple yet it works! My favourite part is when she's worn out, gets kissed and is so hyper after and then the transvestite leads her back to the dancefloor and they're both excited

I love the gayness in it

I agree 100 %

I really think that if Come On Get Up from All For You got released and the promo wasn't halted by Virgin, the video would have looked just like this one, but it works much better with Rock With U.

They're not freaks.

alphastreet said:

It does, since the groove isn't interrupted. The song was made for a 1-take video.

I love her one take videos LOL I also love the randomness in the background, like the blowing bubbles, and all the costumes and accessories people are wearing. It's fresh to see that kind of party in the background instead of a random gangsta one like in every hip hop video

alphastreet said:

I see new details every time I watch it. I love videos like that.

Whereas Got Til It's Gone celebrated the black experience, I feel this video celebrates the gay experience, in that it shows the diversity of the community, as well as the spirit of togetherness and enjoyment. I love that it is the transsexual who lifts Janet up and brings her into this circle of people on the dancefloor.

I like the way she smiles after the guy kisses her.

And when they all gather around her and then break away.

Not to bring up the choreography again but I think it works much better with a camera than it perhaps on a stage where you just have one view. It became fluid in a way that I wasn't getting on GMA.

VoicesCarry said:

yeah GTIG was very random and unexpected for janet, it took awhile to grow on me and appreciate the artistic value of it, cause I was used to janet being all glammed up and dancing at the time. You know what's funny though? I remember a fan saying that when Janet was asked about her African roots and the video, she answered that it was the director's idea and they would know best or something like that, and found that kind of weird, cause I know she and her team were heavily involved in a vision.

JackieBlue said:

It was the GMA cameras that were fucked, not the choreography.

alphastreet said:

Yeah, it wasn't Mark Romanek's vision. In interviews for the album, Janet explains how she developed the theme of the video. She had done a lot of research.

VoicesCarry said:

oh so janet did develop it after all eh? I heard the opposite from someone else, they must have misunderstood her, cause this fan's English wasn't very good.

alphastreet said:

From the way she talked about it, she was very passionate. That whole era, I think, was special.

In the same manner, Saam says Janet had the theme for Feedback and Rock With U videos in mind, and that he basically took orders from her. I think they work very well together. I didn't like the Feedback video, but I can't blame the director.

I don't like the opening at all but in the video it works. Well, I can't wait to see it in concert but by then I'll be so excited it won't matter.

VoicesCarry said:

yeah I love the Velvet Rope era, I became crazy for her then and went all out, though I've liked her since Design of a Decade/Scream when I discovered her stuff

alphastreet said:

The first CD I purchased was Design of a Decade. I didn't get hardcore, however, until JANFAN4L started hyping the forum for the release of Damita Jo. I credit him with turning me into the fan I am today!

VoicesCarry said:

yeah that was my first janet CD

alphastreet said:

That was my first CD ever!

VoicesCarry said:

Wow, where the heck is JANFAN4L? Haven't seen him (now that I know it's a him) in a while.

purplecam said:

He is still here

purplecam said:

he's Mara

Well I became a janet fan with The Velvet Rope. It was also one the first cds I bought!
1997 baby

Oh my! This is nice. That's two songs in a row that I've heard that don't make me want to vomit. In fact, I actually like them quite a lot. Nice vid, too.

I'm definitely going to listen to this album now

VoicesCarry said:

mine was TLC-CrazySexyCool, even though I did have records and tapes, though I wasn't the one who went out of my way to buy them.

Raze said:

just buy the album already

alphastreet said:

I've already got it. Just haven't worked up the interest to listen yet

Raze said:

cool, I think you will really enjoy it! It's better than Damita Jo and 20 YO, even though those have good tracks here and there.
