the new janet video

is actually pretty cool. i thought it would be anti-climactic but it turned out to be a very simple, smart video...much like got til its gone. hopefully this understated style will work for her again this time around.

oh...and jermaine dupri KNOWS he is a lucky man!

I like the samples enough to buy the album, I think. The video just didn't do it for me, though. Janet looked like she walked off the Munsters set in the first half, and then like a blond Latoya in the second half. The nails confused

You can watch it on www.janet-xone.com

It's in the "Media" section, under Real Player videos.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see all of the making of it on VH1 because my mom insisted on watching American Idol and wouldn't let me watch Janet, but I can't wait to see it when it's repeated.

I just saw the video though, and I do like it. Very nice and simple, and I'm glad Jermaine wasn't in a whole lot of it. Every time I flipped over to BET when American Idol was on commercial, I saw him more than Janet!

Anyway, I do like it, and Janet looks beautiful.

Thanks, VelvetRoper. Unfortunately I'm on a RealPlayer boycott at the moment, so I'll have to wait until it's in quicktime or WMA.

Yeah, wow. What a lame-ass video. Janet walking around the neighbourhood, looking rather disinterested and bemused. I like the JALW video better.

i like this video far more than jalw. it is sexy and simple and cute. i don't know, it's a nice change from the big to do that most of her videos are. not that i'm bashing those or anything, cuz you know i love a big production of song and dance (that line screams fag, doesn't it lol). i love the old school style of the song and video. its just a simple love song. what's wrong with that?

I totally agreee with everything you said. I think the JALW should be buried and never shown again. I would much rather watch Janet walk down a street all mellow than watching her in drag dancing with a vaccum cleaner.

I love her "I Get Lonely" video. It was simple but it was hot, you know? I'm not hating on you for liking it but Janet videos have always been pretty exciting in the past. The song and video are so 'blah' for me.

I can see what you're mean by that. I like the video a lot because I love the song and I think she looks great, but I'll agree that the video is not quite "Janet caliber". It's good, and nice and all, but Janet usually hits us with really hot videos.

I'm not even saying that we need an all-out, big production dance number because one of my top 3 all time favorite Janet videos is "Got 'Til it's Gone", but I just expected something different from Janet on this one. However, I still think it's better than many videos that are out now, and I appreciate it because it's something different from Janet.

I almost started tearing up at the end of the video because it was like the end of a long love story. I've following Janet's music for years and I thought about her past relationships with James & Rene. Then I saw JD at the end of the video looking at Janet being truly in love with her and vice versa. It was like she waited so long for someone to finally love and she finally found it. I think she and JD make the sweetest couple, much love to them!
