Janet's "If" turns 19 today

19 years ago today, Janet's "If" was released as a single. Virgin wanted "If" to be the lead-off single from janet., but she and JJ/TL decided to go with "That's the Way Love Goes" first.

"If" went on to top the Billboard dance chart, and go top 5 on the Hot 100 and R&B charts.

Still my favorite set of remixes from any single from any artist. Every mix was perfection to me.

music Love this song. I love how the verses are ruff, almost rapped, and then she sings on the chorus. "Your smooth and shiny feels good against my lips" gets me every time lol

Heard If at the gym last night. If is up there with Vogue for best pop song of the 1990s. And it’s one of the best choreographed videos ever. I’ll always love Janet for this song.

I would LOVE that but unfortunately I dont think thats ever going to happen. The relationship that Janet and Tina had together was clearly more than their love for dancing and it showed. That same spark would never be there again after everything that has happened between them.
