The video for Janet Jackson‘s new single ‘Make Me’, the lead single from her ‘Number Ones’ compilation (out now), premiered a few moments ago on ABC’s 20/20. With the song and accompanying video seeming only to serve the purpose of promoting her greatest hits, I guess I was never expecting an-all out big budget affair, but I’d be deceiving myself and you if I said I wasn’t slightly disappointed. I can’t put my finger on why, but between the not-so-enthralling choreography and the overall so-so’ness of the clip, I found myself a tad underwhelmed. Ms. Jackson usually comes a lot harder. That said, in view of all that’s been going on, she kinda gets a pass. Here’s hoping she nails it with her hotly anticipated performance at Sunday’s American Music Awards, where she opens the star-studded event with an 8-minute medley.

Tyga‘s kept his fans well fed with mixtapes, EPs, specialty projects (including collaborative efforts), and more over the years, but many would be surprised to know his last solo album – ‘Legendary‘ – actually dropped in 2019.

JANET JACKSON LOOKS STUNNING IN THE VIDEO. ONE OF THE DANCERS DID SAY IT WAS GONNA BE MORE GLAM SHOTS THAN DANCE SCENES. THAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY PROBLEM. CAUSE I DONT THINK PEOPLE GONNA GET THE FEEL OF ROUTINE FOR THE SONG. UNLESS SHE PERFORMS IT ON THE AMA’S.
ANYWAYS GREAT VIDEO.
Yea she’s performing this song with 4 or 5 other songs on the AMA’s
They need to post the ENTIRE video.
JLO needs to seriously take notes! I love Janet! The black and white video reminds me of her RN days! She looks absolutely beautiful
abc’s annoying me!!!!!
why can’t dey show the whole video now? Wednesday they pissed me right off lol i mean i was soo mad!
anyways Janet looks good wow! the woman’s trully aging backwards, i see the dancing was done but true there’s alotta glam shots which are beautiful tho she looks stunning that smile is the best smile ive ever seen,

WORK IT JANET I CANT WAIT TO C HER PERFORM IT ALIVE SHE GON TURNT IT UP!! JANET HAS A VERY S*** ND BEAUTIFUL SMILE TEETH WHITER THE SNOW…
This is what the f*** I’m talking about, a real “Classy ” woman! Janet is the ultimate diva! Beyonce need to take some damn notes on how to be a class act! Better yet all these whores need to take some etiquette classes! I’m really excited for her, and I pray she makes a come back, cuz Janet is amazing !!!!!!!!!
Just to ask! What happen to Toya’s world blog?????? Looks like she drooped off the face of the blogsphere! I hope one of the got damn record companies didn’t shut her down!!
The main male dancer was the wineer of So You Think You Can Dance Canada!!! yup yup!!! :D:D;D:D:D
Ooops Janet did it again 43 1/2 years old and killing it. @ Jweezy thank you so much for the upload. @ Mr. 727 I was wondering the same thing about Toya’s blog. ANYWAY Sunday can’t come fast enough.
I like Janet, but I think classy went out the window after the 50th song she wrote about f******.
Toya’s blog did not auto renew and by the time she found out, someone had swooped in and purchaded her domain. They don’t want to give it back so she’s figuring out what to do. u can follow her on twitter
toyas_world or toyas-world
I love the Janet video- parts of it reminds me of ‘Scream’ my only complaint is that it should have had more dancing. Puts fresh out the oven to shame.
now this is a video, classy, simple, awesome choreography, the singer HERSELF dances better than the rest and i love the song
HOT!!!! Janet looks so damn beauitufl and she took it there with those shoulder pads, the video is classy and shows her beauty I LOVE IT!!!
I think the video is perfectly decent. Better than average anyways. Ok it’s not as dance heavy or big budget as some of her previous efforts but that doesn’t make it bad. I reckon when the next studio album comes out you’ll see more of those types of videos. It prefectly watchable, serves it’s purpose and Janet does look amazing!!!!!!
Janet is so beautiful, and that is really apparent in this video! I love the groove of the song, and the energy. In regards to the video, i am rarely ever disappointed with Janet’s videos, because she knows how to deliver a good video irregardless.
In this case, I slightly agree with Sam regarding the choreography, which seemed a little more bouncy than Janet’s normal sharp and crsip dance steps. Her choreographer has been working with her for years, and he is amazing — so here’s hoping that he continues on the path of intricate, precise, and s*** choreography, which is the hallmark of Janet Jackson’s performances, and less of the bouncy steps which suits less talented dancers.
Either way I am looking forward to Janet’s live performance at the AMA! The Superbowl fiasco (which was entirely overrated with racial undertones…we can watch vulgar commercials and Britney Spears dance all night with b*** and breast cleavage, but once Janet shows a nipple-ring, something sacreligious has occurred) has tried to steal her mojo a bit, so I hope she goes back to the Janet Jackson that rips the stage to shreads (a la her late great brother Michael)!!! Overall, good video.
I must say J looked very stunning in this clip. The video overall was a bit too simple compared to other videos she has done but with all the things surrounding her this year so most certainly gets a pass. At least she is still giving us entertainment that we can appreciate.
amazing, she looks perfect, an upbeat song and video without the singer being naked, its been a long time since that happen in this music industry, she is a queen
it seems like janet is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. The video was good, true not much dancing. Now if she was dancing around and showing her body then she would be criticized for trying to act too young. Now that she has an “age appropriate” video, its boring. I don’t understand what she can do to make these people happy. I love the video and I love janet. go girl!!!
Whatever Sam….its better than any other female video out now.
Hott! Name another female video that doesn’t show T&A that can get more attention.
This video is not great, but it’s a good video because it’s refreshing to see Janet so classy and sophisticated. She looked really pretty.
Fatima, everybody f****, even you I hope. The class is still there and always will be. Take notes. Sam, just hold up and wait. It was more of a pictorial. You’ll see.
i think its perfect for the song
a million times betta than the videos she has came out with the past couple of albums
Janet looks amazing. Nice video. LOL @ Deirdre Pride. So true.
Your assessment is plain stupidity and I think you might have been watching a different video.
Maybe if she was naked with her fat hanging out like Beyonce you would like it better? Or a see-through bra pretending to have an alter ego so that she doesn’t have to take true responsibility for her actions. IN FACT, maybe JANET should just tell everyone her alter ego was responsible for the Super Bowl incident and then she can be in the good graces of God again like Beyonce… awwwww… delusions are so adorable on you… EARTH to SAM!!! come back please.
sam seems to fail to understand the miss jackson is getting older, gracefully older.
so she cant be poppin like she use to..
one should understand age makes a difference to the body..
i really do dislike sam!
just had enough of his bull.
GEMELLI <<<<<<<<<<<
I COMPLETELY AGREE
SPEAK THE TRUTH!
She looks hot and love the dancing but the song is garbage sounds old and dated
Is nothing new janet always come hard. Is Janet…. She have so many black and white videos. MISS u much, RN, list goes on and on…. She still can dance better than the other pop females tryna be like her… She was the first…..
luv it!!!!
my opinion for janet is she should have switched it up, meaning make it more s*** girly u no, instead of all that hard dancin she always do. like still dance but make it a s*** dance be in a tight cute outfit or dress in some heels dancin. bein cute telling ur fans im still janet but its time to bring S***!! back but janet still got it tho.well do anybody else agree let me no.
This is just a little sample to wet the worlds pallet before Janet comes and roller blades all over any naysayers face. HAHAHAHAHA. She’s killin’ it. Janet is truly INCOMPARABLE. What an ICON/LEGEND.
Man o Man, Janet is great, iconic, trendsetting and original. The choreo in this vid is great to me. A little house dance mixed wit her intricit movement blended well. To you crazy folks who r leavin negative comments do remember that her choreo is beyond difficult, that is if u’ve ever taken from her choreographer Gil. It’s intricit, quick, detailed and smooth at the same time. So the fact that she hangs wit her dancers who are some of the best and looks comfortable doin it, is great 🙂
P.S.
She is the only person is the video wit a “HEEL”
DEEDEE U ARE OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND JANET LOOKS, AND IS SO AMAZING I LOVE HER THE SING AND VIDEO IS AWESOME AS WELL AS THE SONG, U HATIN ASS B**** I DON’T SEE U DOIN ANYTHING. AND FOR GEMELLI,ANONYMOUS GO TO HELL BOTH OF U IGNORANT JACKASSES. JANET IS IN A GROWN STAGE IN HER LIFE RIGHT NOW NOT TO MENTION SHE JUST LOST HER BROTHER, AND FOR HER TO BE OUT RIGHT NOW IS A BLESSING……..
How can you knock this video?!?!? It’s simple, stylistic and uncomplicated with JJ doing some dancing – what more do you want?!?!?!!??
Best video Janet has done since All Nite (Don’t Stop)…It’s really a dance inspired beauty video. Every video she does for a fast song can’t be all dance….cuz then her videos would start lookin like some other people’s (where every video looks almost exactly the same)…I’m not saying any names!
Anyway, love the video. Love Ms. Jackson! Can’t wait til tonight when she rips that stage a new one!!!
This video is good. Not simple and not over the top. This video is for her Number Ones CD. She looks amazing (face & fashion) and she gave just enough dance to let you know she’s still got it…the video didn’t need to be straight dance from beginning to finish. And you never catch any of her videos looking the same..whether in color or black&white. Key Point: Janet is ORIGINAL
im sorry. i will say it. i love janet..i loved discipline. she is my top diva..step aside madonna and mariah. BUT this is her chance to come back and if her next video looks like make me…stick a fork in janet cause she is done. come harder, girl. come harder than feedback..harder than make me..bring it like i know you can and shut the game done.
she DID NOT COME HARD. her ass was sitting in a chair chilling for the video. lame. come on girl.
I love the video and wish that Janet wore the white uniform with the hair to the side on the AMAs but I still loved Janet on the AMAs and also in this video!!! when will this video be released to MTV and BET and etc to play in full length and also, when will she do this song Live in its full length on the guest appearance circuit? I like that lead guy dancer, anyone have any of his clips from that THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA, what is his name??? Janet should hook up with him…………..nice
The male dancer is Nico Archambault; here are some clips…
The blonde girl in the disco number is also in Janet’s video.
