Turn your clocks back almost 21 years ago (or just visit YouTube) and you will be able to enjoy this week’s From The Vault pick in all its glory. ‘Escapade’ was released as the 3rd official single from Janet Jackson’s iconic ‘Rhythm Nation 1814’ in 1990. This particular performance of the song occurred during the 1990 ‘American Music Awards’.

In addition to being an international hit, the song dominated the US charts and became Jackson’s 3rd #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100. ‘Escapade’ was also the 3rd of an amazing 18 consecutive top 10 singles for the entertainer in a streak lasting from 1989 until 1998.

Although Jackson was lip-syncing for her life here, it frankly did not matter. Her choreography was almost flawless and she delivered so much energy that her miming was practically unnoticeable.

This is the type of performance that Britney Spears should be doing at this stage in her career. However, with her fans exalting her every lazy, sluggish and insultingly dull move, Spears will undoubtedly continue to just shake her stringy weave and flail her arms unchecked. She’s so lucky.

No stranger to headlines, Chris Brown made many earlier this month when he dyed his hair blonde. However, after teasing a change during interviews this week, the singer followed through – reverting back to his darker do. The 21 year old shared the pic with fans on Twitter moments ago.
