Agreed that y'all REALLY should retire the Lip-syncing argument/excuse. It is a mainstay practice in pop music and has been for over 20 years. Let it go. I was at the Essence show and enjoyed Janet thoroughly as most of the audience did.

The song does serve its purpose as a theme for a Tyler Perry movie just as "Again" did for Poetic Justice. What more should anyone expect. It is what it is and it is Janet's ability to convey vulnerability that sells both songs...These are not my favorite Janet tracks but I she has MORE than enough to compensate.
